Chapter 9 (The Jade is Lost)

An hour later, in Weijing City, Ma Yi's home, inside the kitchen.

"Xiaoyu, tell me to do it." Ma Yi said with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and turned her head suddenly, glared at Ma Yi viciously with a kitchen knife in her hand and said, "Are you looking down on me?" ”

Seeing this, Ma Yi shook his hand again and again and said, "No, no, I'm just afraid that you are tired and want to help you." ”

A few minutes later.

"Sister Yu, potatoes have to be peeled!"

"Sister Yu, cucumbers can't be chopped so big!"

"Sister Yu, fish have to scrape scales, be careful of fish gall bladders, oops!"

"Sister Yu, the shrimp should be washed first and then boiled!"

"Sister Yu, that's alkaline noodles, not salt!"

"Sister Yu, that's soy sauce, not vinegar, ah! Don't pour so much! ”

"Sister Yu!"

"I recognize this salt!" Li Xiaoyu said with a dark face.

"But you don't need to empty half a bag!"

"It's okay to pour another half bag of sugar!" Li Xiaoyu said disapprerovingly.

"But!"

As soon as Ma Yi spoke, with a "bang", a kitchen knife slashed on the door frame next to Ma Yi's head, which made the door frame buzz.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu hurriedly ran over with apologetic eyes, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry! Excuse me! I didn't catch it for a while. ”

"It's okay! All right! While saying Ma Yi, he wiped the cold sweat on his head, and his legs kept trembling.

Two hours later.

Xie Xiaoyi looked at the black things on the plate on the table, and said to Ma Yi with a bitter face: "Are you sure this can be eaten?" ”

Ma Yipi looked at Xie Xiaoyi with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please, please, this is the chef you personally ordered, you can enjoy it slowly!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's come together, good things for everyone to enjoy." Saying that, Xie Xiaoyi looked at Ma Yi with a smile.

"Hehe, I just drank too much water, and I'm not hungry at all now." The corners of Ma Yi's mouth twitched.

Li Xiaoyu frowned when she saw this, and couldn't help but slap the table with a "snap", which shocked the plates on the table and jumped slightly. Then he said with an unhappy face: "I worked hard for two hours to make such a big table of dishes, you dare not to cheer." Saying that, two cold eyes inadvertently swept into the faces of Ma Yi and Xie Xiaoyi, which couldn't help but make the two of them suddenly feel a chill in their hearts, layers of cold sweat kept oozing from their backs, and even the clothes behind them showed faint sweat stains.

Seeing this, Ma Yi couldn't help but ask a little resignedly: "Sister Yu, won't you eat some?" ”

"I'm not hungry, and besides, people still have to keep in shape and lose weight. Besides, didn't I say that I wouldn't eat my own work until I succeeded, so I wouldn't eat my own work so that I wouldn't lose confidence in cooking. And you have to eat all the food I cook to encourage me, as you promised me before. Li Xiaoyu said righteously.

Hearing Li Xiaoyu say this, Xie Xiaoyi couldn't help but look at Ma Yi with a bitter look in his eyes, and at the same time said with a smile on his face: "Xiaoyi, don't be polite, please." He made a gesture of please.

Seeing this, the corners of Ma Yi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xie Xiaoyi playfully and said, "How about everyone sharing good things?" Let's do it together. ”

Xie Xiaoyi couldn't help but freeze when he saw the smile on his face, and then said with a dry laugh: "I'm not very hungry today, and besides, I haven't promised anything to Xiaoyu." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Xie Xiaoyi with her big watery eyes, and at the same time said to him with great eagerness: "Xiaoyi, are we friends?" ”

After the next day. (April 14, 2010)

"Oops, oops......" moaned weakly. A groan came from Ma Yi's mouth, and she was leaning on Li Xiaoyu's chest at this time, and said weakly: "My head is so dizzy, Yu'er come and help me, I don't have any strength now, it's like falling apart." As she spoke, she gently rubbed her head on Li Xiaoyu's chest, and then narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Since yesterday he was dragged by Xie Xiaoyi and enjoyed the 'luxurious whole fish banquet' cooked by Li Xiaoyu himself, Ma Yi fell without suspense in that prescient prediction. At this time, she looked obviously tired, and a pair of faint dark circles hung on her face, which set off her beautiful big eyes were particularly eye-catching. Even her face at this time looked even paler than before.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry! I've been working very hard to make you like this, and I don't want to. Don't worry, I won't do this again next time, I swear I'll make a lot of progress next time. ”

Seeing her so swearing, Ma Yi couldn't help but close her eyes helplessly, and a tear of remorse quietly rolled down the corner of her eyes unconsciously, and at the same time shouted loudly in her heart, "What kind of sin have I made!" ”

And at this moment, Li Xiaoyu seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh! That's right. Xiaoyi also just called, saying that he is now in the hospital for infusion, and said that he has food poisoning, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go out in the past two days. He also asked if we could wait for him to get better before going to Taihua Mountain, and I had agreed, anyway, I could go there at any time. Saying that, she looked at Ma Yi's haggard appearance, and whispered to her in a gentle tone: "You have been having diarrhea for a day, you must be very hungry, I will go and cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat, this is very convenient, I believe I can do well." With that, she walked towards the kitchen.

Ma Yi knew that something was wrong when he saw it, so he hurriedly covered his stomach and said loudly: "Oops! I can't do it, Yu'er quickly, help me to the toilet, and pull it out. ”

"Huh? Don't worry, I'll help you go right away. Saying that, Li Xiaoyu hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, picked up Ma Yi and walked towards the toilet.

Ma Yi was thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind as he walked, and at this moment, Li Xiaoyu's mobile phone suddenly rang. Seeing this, Ma Yi hurriedly said: "You answer the phone first, maybe there is something urgent to find you." Don't worry about me, I can walk through it myself. With that, she gently pushed Li Xiaoyu away and slowly walked towards the toilet by herself.

Seeing that Ma Yi didn't seem to have any problems, Li Xiaoyu ran over to answer the phone with confidence. At this time, Ma Yi was moving to the toilet while thinking hard about how to get out. Li Xiaoyu looked at the caller ID and knew that it was the company's phone, so she answered it immediately.

"Hey. Who is it? Li Xiaoyu asked.

"It's me, Manager Li, I'm Ye Yusheng from the Custody Department." Immediately, a respectful voice came from there.

"Oh? Can I help you? Li Xiaoyu continued to ask.

"Manager Li, please come back quickly, something happened to the company." The man's tone sounded eager.

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning when she heard this, so she asked cautiously, "What happened to you in such a hurry?" Don't panic, speak slowly. ”

"That's it, Manager Li, the piece of ancient jade from the Han Dynasty that will be auctioned next month in our secret vault is gone." Ye Yusheng said quickly.

"What? What the hell is going on? Tell me more about it. Li Xiaoyu's tone sounded a little anxious, you must know that the ancient jade is a very important partner of the family, and it was specially put here for auction by her. The reason is that she knew that she had a world-class high-tech vault system here, so she put this thing here for auction, so it was also for the sake of safety, but she didn't expect to lose it now.

Hearing this, Ye Yusheng paused, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and then said in an orderly manner: "When we checked the secret vault according to the company's practice this morning, we found that the ancient jade was gone. And the security system is intact, the alarm is also working normally, even the surveillance video has been watched and nothing has been found, and the door lock is also intact, but the ancient jade is like evaporating out of thin air, but it can't be found. ”

"Oh? Did you call the police? Li Xiaoyu asked calmly after hearing this.

"The police have been called and now the police have cordoned off the scene and are currently doing further investigations." Ye Yusheng replied.

"You're doing the right thing, don't panic, I'll go back." After saying that, Li Xiaoyu hung up the phone, and then she raised her eyes to look at Ma Yi, with a hint of apology and reluctance in her eyes.

"Go ahead, I can take care of myself." Ma Yi said calmly.

"I'll go back to the company and come back to see you in the evening." Li Xiaoyu looked at Ma Yi, and there seemed to be a trace of reluctance in her heart.

"Don't be in a hurry since the matter is out, a calm heart can solve the problem." Ma Yi comforted, and at the same time gave Li Xiaoyu an encouraging look.

"I understand." Li Xiaoyu nodded seriously.

"Be careful when driving on the road." Ma Yi admonished.

"Well, then I'll go, see you in the evening." After that, Li Xiaoyu picked up the bag, turned around and left.

"Drive carefully." Ma Yi hurriedly ran two steps and reminded with concern.

Walking to the window and looking at Li Xiaoyu who was driving away, Ma Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart, "Fortunately, I escaped another catastrophe this time, otherwise I would definitely have collapsed from the ......."
