Chapter 070, you are so humorous
The only extravagant place in the whole courtyard house is the floor area, in a ridiculous place like Beijing, where every inch of land is expensive and housing prices are high, the land price of this courtyard house alone is enough to make an ordinary person daunted.
It seems to be due to tradition, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, except for a few special leaders in Zhongnanhai, most of them live in these courtyards, and Wanwan's parents are no exception, but Canglong can see that this is Nanchizi Street, the largest courtyard.
The whole courtyard has a total of five rooms in the north room, with three positive and two ears layout, three rooms in the east and three rooms in the west wing, and there is a corridor in front of the house to shelter from the wind and rain. In addition, the courtyard wall is separated by the front yard and the back yard, and the courtyard wall is connected by the moon gate. The front yard is deep and shallow, two houses are used as gatehouses, and the backyard is a living room, the building is exquisite, the square bricks in the layer are on the ground, and the bluestone is used as steps.
Here, what you can't feel at all is that the noise and impetuousness outside will be a little more mundane and elegant, just looking at the furnishings and layout of the whole house, Canglong can see how the owner is.
Although Wanwan is only nine years old, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is not forced by her parents, but because of her personality, she likes these things.
And the kung fu of making tea is even more first-class, obviously under the guidance of a first-class tea master, Canglong chatted with Wanwan very happily in the living room, and even Wanwan personally entertained him, but the housekeeper Jia outside was very unhappy, because he had never drunk Wanwan's tea.
And Wanwan has been like this since she was a child, whether she is playing the piano or painting, or making tea, she only shows it in front of the people closest to her, and it is natural that Steward Jia is uncomfortable.
This made there were only two people in the courtyard of Steward Jia and Wanwan, and suddenly there were a few more black-clothed bodyguards, although I don't know where Steward Jia got it from, but their skills are obviously much more agile than those plainclothes, and their temperament is completely different, like the Zhongnanhai bodyguards who protected Wanwan last time.
It was not so much that Steward Jia called these bodyguards over to protect Wanwan, but rather to spy on Canglong, but Canglong didn't care, but looked relaxed.
Not surprisingly, around five o'clock in the afternoon, someone came to the courtyard again, but this time it was not the bodyguard, but the owner of the courtyard.
Every time I see Lin Wanrou, the aura that Canglong feels on her body is always kind and dignified.
As for Canglong's arrival, Lin Wanrou did not express any disgust, but was enthusiastic and generous, and even to Steward Jia's surprise, Lin Wanrou actually decided to cook in person to entertain Canglong.
In the eyes of Steward Jia, Lin Wanrou has not cooked in person for a long time, and the most recent time, it seems that twenty-five years ago, even Wanwan was not lucky enough to taste Lin Wanrou's craftsmanship.
And Lin Wanrou's dignified makes people think that she doesn't know how to cook.
Wanwan was also surprised that her mother actually cooked by herself, because this was something she had never seen since she was a child, and it seemed that she was used to being busy with Yu Xue, and Wanwan also walked into the kitchen of the courtyard, and she was not happy to follow her mother to be busy.
Butler Jia, who had been helping Wanwan cook, was idle, and after he was busy with his own affairs, he sat in the living room with Canglong and looked at each other. No one said the first word, and it wasn't until Lin Wanrou asked him to help serve the food that he glanced at Canglong vigilantly and went to help.
Canglong still sat in his original position and waited, without any pretentious intention to help.
Soon, all the dishes were served on the table.
Lin Wanrou cleaned up, sat down next to the Eight Immortals table, and shouted, "Lao Jia, let's eat together." ”
What "I" didn't expect was that Steward Jia's boss was not a small person, and he actually twisted it, and seemed to be a little flattered.
"Don't pinch it." Lin Wanrou's face was serious.
"Yes." Steward Jia immediately responded.
The four of them sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and Lin Wanrou said: "I don't know if it suits your taste, this is shredded chicken with golden needles, this is shredded pork with Beijing sauce, this is white fungus vegetarian stew, this is lotus root soup, these are spring cakes and cabbages, the north is not better than the south, and there are few opportunities to eat rice." ”
"Uh-huh." Lin Wanrou's enthusiasm made Canglong also a little flattered, except for nodding or nodding.
"Do you drink?" Lin Wanrou seemed to be very dissatisfied, so she ordered, "Lao Jia, help go to the wine cellar and get a few bottles of aged Red Star Erguotou." ”
"Don't bother, I don't drink." Canglong shook his head and expressed his gratitude, for some reason, when facing Lin Wanrou, he always had a feeling that he couldn't be indifferent, just like facing Wanwan.
The most uncomfortable thing to eat in a meal is Lao Jia, because Wanwan and Lin Wanrou are serving vegetables to Canglong from time to time, and all the attention is on Canglong, which makes the hometown feel that Lin Wanrou is a little strange today, a killer came to the door, how could it make her change her habits for so many years?
The second is Canglong, although Lin Wanrou's cooking skills are very good, but Canglong has eaten "overeating" for the first time, because two-thirds of the dishes on the table have entered his stomach, and there are four or five spring cakes and cabbage.
In the kitchen, Canglong was helping while waiting for Lin Wanrou to ask, but what made Canglong strange was that Lin Wanrou never said a word about work-related things.
In the end, Canglong finally couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "I'm here for the sake of Wanwan's business." ”
Lin Wanrou stopped the words in her mouth at this time, and even put the plate aside, she looked at Canglong and said calmly: "You hypnotized her, haven't you?" ”
"Yes." Canglong nodded, "But"
"I know, you're doing it for her good, if not, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter this door today." Lin Wanrou suddenly revealed a majesty on her body, which made Canglong feel a little uncomfortable, because this was completely different from the enthusiasm just now.
At this time, he also understood why Lin Wanrou was so enthusiastic about himself, it turned out that it was because he hypnotized Wanwan to save her from psychological distress, not surprisingly, Lin Wanrou actually knew about Wanwan's matter for a long time, but there was no way to solve it, and in the face of an invisible person, she was even the president of Longteng International had a headache.
"I told you that you don't have to meddle in the Wanwan affair, it will be very bad for you, and besides, it is better not to come here in the future, because it will also be bad for you." Lin Wanrou kindly reminded.
"For" Canglong blurted out that he wanted to ask why, but after spitting out a word, he swallowed back, "I can not come here in the future, but if Wanwan's affairs want me not to interfere, it will be too difficult, because relying on you alone may not be able to solve him, to be honest, that person doesn't take you seriously, he is like a cat, and you are a mouse." ”
Lin Wanrou was surprised by Canglong's firmness, maybe she didn't believe that a killer would take such good care of her daughter, or maybe it was other reasons, but at this moment, her heart trembled inexplicably, this feeling made her feel that Canglong should not be like this, and there should not be this kind of decisiveness and firmness that does not meet her age, because for her, this kind of decisiveness and firmness can only be forged after accumulated scars.
"Thank you, no matter who you are, I want to thank you." After being silent for a while, Lin Wanrou continued to pick up the plate, and said as she cleaned up, "Are you completely sure?" ”
"I'm only eighty percent sure, and that's before he knows me." Canglong replied without hesitation, "My job tells me that when I am not ten percent sure, I will never gamble for any reason, but this time, I think I want to make an exception to bet once, whether it is winning or losing, it will definitely not have any impact on Wanwan, this is the only thing I can guarantee, full certainty!" ”
This passage made Lin Wanrou stop what she was doing again, and looked at Canglong with strange eyes, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she still said: "If you succeed, what do you need?" ”
Hearing this, Canglong shook his head: "There are always some people, or some things, that will make you irrational and risk your life, and Wanwan may be one of the few people in this world who gives me a reason to gamble regardless of reason and fight for my life, so you don't need to pay any price." ”
"No!" Lin Wanrou shook her head suddenly, a little excited, "I'll cough cough"
But before she could say half of her words, she coughed, and every time she coughed, her face would be pale, and Canglong was worried: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm sick, it's okay, just take a break." Lin Wanrou said, sat on the stool next to her, and was silent for a long time before she said, "Perhaps, you are the noble person of the Wanwan numerology, do you need me to give you any help?" ”
"All you need to do is take care of the rest after I kill him." Canglong said heavily, "Moreover, Wanwan must be the bait, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't even be sure." ”
"Bait?" Lin Wanrou was taken aback, but what no one expected was that she immediately said decisively, "As long as you can ensure that she is not harmed, it doesn't hurt to become a bait, and besides, are you sure you don't need anyone's help?" ”
"It's not a war, it's just a life-and-death hunt." Canglong shook his head, "It's not the first time I've killed someone, but it's really my first time." ”
"You're so humorous." Lin Wanrou was a little helpless, but she knew that the crisis hidden behind this cold humor might be as she thought, Canglong was a noble person.
Lin Wanrou left the house at night, saying that she was going to the company to deal with things, and then Canglong knew that if it wasn't for Steward Jia informing Lin Wanrou that he was coming, maybe Lin Wanrou wouldn't be able to return home for a few days, and with Lin Wanrou leaving, there were also those Zhongnanhai bodyguards, it seemed that Lin Wanrou and Steward Jia said something.
Later, Steward Jia's attitude towards Canglong was a little better, although his face had always been cold, and seeing Canglong was like seeing an enemy
