Chapter 38: Is a thank you all the time?
Xu Liu raised her eyes to look at him, when she had no expression on her face, her eyes always looked extraordinarily cold, like an ice blade, extremely sharp, and the person looked away a little weakly.
Hearing what his chef said, the manager quickly stood up, "I'm sorry sir, if you really eat eggshells in our dishes, we sincerely apologize and give you a free meal for today." But our green restaurant is not something that can be questioned casually. ”
His words, though polite and respectful, smacked of threat.
"What do you mean? I'm lying?!It's just a meal, am I like this?" the man took a menacing step forward, and even had the illusion that the ground was trembling when he stepped on the ground.
The manager was forced to take a step back by him, "Sir, we can send someone to check the situation with you." If it is really as you say, of course we will compensate and apologize. ”
"Is there anything else to investigate, isn't this an obvious fact? If you continue to have this attitude, don't blame me for going out and exposing you. ”
That big fat man is actually a well-known food blogger who often shares the city's food with netizens on the Internet, and indeed brings a lot of traffic to some restaurants.
"You can go. Someone walked out from behind Xu Liu, and the manager saw that his big boss had been standing behind him, and he was not seen, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wiped it and hurried up, with a flattering expression, people with a clear eye knew the identity of Li Xingzhou at a glance.
"Looks like you're the real one here, aren't you? If this is done as you have just said, it will be over. But if you continue to be so unrepentant......"
Li Xingzhou straightened his cuffs, and glanced at him when he heard the man's words, "Today's matter, our Li Group will definitely investigate it clearly and give you an answer." ”
"At the same time, in order to avoid being troubled by our peers, or suspecting us of favoritism, I will invite a judicial officer to notarize. If it is verified, it will be prosecuted immediately. ”
He didn't mean to make peace at all, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to invite the judicial officer over, and the man's face turned blue and white in fright.
"You ......"
"In that case, you should have no opinion. Li Xingzhou looked at the man, as if he had read through his thoughts, and the fat man took a step back.
"Cut, no, isn't it just a meal, I'll pay for it myself. ”
He twisted back in a hurry, and now it seemed to slip away with his tail between his legs.
Li Xingzhou glanced at Xu Liu, and after confirming her emotions, he looked at the manager, "You handled this matter well, go and get busy with you." ”
He saw everything that had just happened, and the manager protected Xu Liu at the first time, which he was very satisfied with.
"Okay, okay. Caught off guard, he got the expression of the big boss, and the manager smiled.
The farce has come to an end, and Xu Liu plans to return to the kitchen to continue his work. Her footsteps paused slightly, and she turned to look at Li Xingzhou's serious eyes, "Thank you for coming over to help." ”
"Wait. ”
Li Xingzhou looked at her, his eyes were deep, "Is it over with a thank you?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's my work time, no matter what happens, please wait until I get off work. I'm going to work now......" She hurried past Li Xingzhou.
"Xu Liu, I've always wanted to know, what happened to you before, why did you avoid me so much?" Li Xingzhou grabbed her wrist and didn't let Xu Liu escape from him anymore.
Xu Liu's pupils trembled violently when he heard his question.
She lowered her head, her throat twitching. Intellectually, this is an excellent opportunity to make Li Xingzhou give up her chance, as long as she tells him what she has experienced before.
He will never haunt this filthy and disgusting self again. But the words came to her lips several times, but she couldn't say them.
Xu Liu bit her tongue, and the extreme pain made her wavering heart finally calm down.
She took a deep breath and looked at Li Xingzhou, "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course. Li Xingzhou kept looking at her, and he saw Xu Liu's inner entanglement and uneasiness.
If she can tell him about the unbearable past, does it also mean that the two are one step closer?
Recalling what happened back then, Xu Liu's eyes became dim, her long eyelashes fanned gently like butterfly wings, and the shadows that fell on her cheeks also changed.
"Maybe Mr. Li has already investigated my background, when I was in contact with Xiao Yuanyuan. The smile on the corner of her mouth was faint, like fragile glass, full of marks, and it would shatter with just a slight push, "You don't have to explain, I don't mind this matter, I can understand it." ”
She took a deep breath, "Now that you've investigated, you'll know that I've been missing for a while before. During that time, I ......"
Even though I have prepared myself mentally, I can't help but choke up when I speak, and even my breathing is painful.
"I was taken as a surrogate. ”
As she said this, she continued with some self-defeat.
He didn't dare to look at Li Xingzhou's reaction, for fear of seeing the familiar disgust and disgust in his eyes.
"The newborn baby I was pregnant in October was taken away, and I was left in the hospital and never saw the child. Her tone was a little quicker, "I searched for the family later, but there was no clue at all, and I couldn't find the child at all. ”
Xu Liu's eyes were red, for ten long months, a small life took root in her belly, and slowly grew up, it is completely impossible to say that there is no emotion at all.
Later, she could even feel the obvious beating in her stomach, a small, powerful beat that did not overlap with her heartbeat.
Even though she was reluctant in her heart, she still had feelings for this child who didn't know who her father was. But no matter how hard she spent, she couldn't find the child back then.
This is the deepest memory in her heart.
The process of saying it is like opening one's own heart and showing it to its softest part.
Whether it was a gentle soothing or a sharp sting to her, those were all decisions that Li Xingzhou had to make. She's done with what needs to be said.
Xu Liu lowered her eyes, her body exuded an aura of self-abandonment, she didn't look at Li Xingzhou's reaction, what kind of expression would he look like, she had already guessed.
"I'm done with what you want to hear, I'll go back to work first. ”
