Chapter 553: The Overall Situation Reversal
"Tea, please."
On the coffee table, the tea leaves in the glass are soaked in the water and slowly stretched, and the swirling water vapor lingers, like an elegant dance.
Lei Ming's face was reflected in the glass, and his handsome facial features seemed to be squeezed by the glass, which looked a little weird, but the impatience in his eyes was extremely real. Lian Ronglin automatically ignored Lei Ming's expression, took the glass and blew the thick hot air, and took a small sip, the sweetness after the bitterness was the warmth that drove away the cold.
He put down the glass, looked up at Qian Xiaomo beside him, and smiled on his lips, "Thank you." β
ββ¦β¦ No...... You're welcome ......"
Qian Xiaomo smiled shyly, and always had a strange feeling in her heart. She had already heard Lian Ronglin's introduction just now, and Qian Xiaomo knew that this house belonged to him, and all the things in this house belonged to Lian Ronglin. Now Qian Xiaomo looks like the mistress of the house, and Lian Ronglin has become a guest. What's more, just now Qian Xiaomo mistakenly thought that Lian Ronglin was a bad person, and she was scared enough, where did she expect that it was the owner of the house.
"I followed you just now and wanted to greet you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me, so I was abrupt." Lian Ronglin explained, "I didn't expect it to scare you, I'm sorry." β
Qian Xiaomo hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's me...... It's my own timidity that makes a big fuss. β
"Xiaomo, there are some things I want to say to him alone."
Lei Ming opened his mouth stiffly, his eyes looked directly at Lian Ronglin, and his face was stern and cold.
Qian Xiaomomu didn't come back to her senses, and when she looked at Lei Ming, she happened to meet Lei Ming's indifferent and distant gaze, which entered her heart, making her heart tremble, and the whole person immediately sobered up, and hurriedly twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, "You guys talk slowly, I still have to clean up the vegetables I just bought......"
While speaking, Qian Xiaomo carried a canvas bag into the kitchen and closed the door.
Lei Ming kept looking at Qian Xiaomo's back, and only after hearing the kitchen door closed, did he look at Lian Ronglin.
"Didn't I text you and don't come back?"
"Anyway, you were rescued by me, and you can't occupy the magpie's nest and don't let me come back." Lian Ronglin looked aggrieved.
In the kitchen, Qian Xiaomo had no mind to take care of the dishes, secretly opened a crack in the door and eavesdropped.
Lei Ming turned his back to the kitchen door, not knowing what was happening behind him.
Although Lian Ronglin's eyes are not good, his ears have become very sensitive, and he knows that Qian Xiaomo is hiding behind and eavesdropping.
"Anyway, I'm curious why I can't come back." Lian Ronglin laughed playfully.
Lei Ming's face did not change, "You don't have more important things to be busy with." β
Lian Ronglin smiled meaningfully, his eyes were like torches, shining brightly, "Or do you think that my light bulb is there, and it affects ...... Between you...... I am sorry. β
Brush it up. Qian Xiaomo's face immediately turned as red as a tomato in a canvas bag.
"yes."
Lei Ming replied briskly, completely to Qian Xiaomo's surprise, her heart was completely still after a beat. So much so that in the conversation between Lei Ming and Lian Ronglin later, she didn't listen to a word at all, and she only had Lei Ming's "yes" in her mind.
Even Ronglin didn't expect Lei Ming to answer so bluntly and affirmatively, and in an instant, the atmosphere between the two fell to the freezing point. Lei Ming took a sip of tea nonchalantly, he knew Lian Ronglin's thoughts about Qian Xiaomo, this kind of question of swearing sovereignty, why didn't he hurry up and take possession of it.
"How's Jian Nian's condition?" After a while, Lei Ming changed the topic and broke the embarrassment.
ββ¦β¦ It's all in our hands......"
Lian Ronglin came back to his senses, his face was sometimes pale and sometimes iron-blue, which was very bad. But he still simply told Lei Ming about the current situation of Jian Nian and the Black Shadow, and how Quinn dealt with them. It turned out that Lian Ronglin hadn't come back in the past few days because he wanted to go deep into the deepest part of the Skeleton Alliance to get clues. Since the black shadow failed to deal with Lei Ming, Lian Ronglin has lost contact with Jian Nian, and has to risk the danger to go to Lian Mansion to wait for an opportunity.
"In the end, it proves our point."
"Quinn won't really be ruthless against the Shadow." Lei Ming repeated his previous opinion, "When he was still accumulating strength, Black Shadow and Jian Nian were very good at containing each other's strength. This is also the reason why he adopted two children with similar personalities and strong personalities in the first place. β
Lian Ronglin was silent and silently agreed, "As for what Quinn wants, I still can't find out this. As long as we know his purpose, we can go ahead of him and strike first. β
"His purpose will be revealed little by little as he acts." Lei Ming stared thoughtfully at the swirling and stretched tea leaves in the glass, and muttered, "So far, it seems that Quinn has not made any major moves after taking Jinlin Real Estate. β
Lian Ronglin nodded, "I also asked Jian Nian, in addition to laundering Quinn's money, now that Jinlin Real Estate has changed its name after being returned to Jian Nian, it actually doesn't have any big operation." β
Speaking of this, Lei Ming looked at Lian Ronglin meaningfully, "When are you going to sue me about your relationship with Jian Nian." β
Lian Ronglin's gaze scattered, like a lake with ripples blown by the wind, but it quickly calmed down, "Does this have anything to do with our actions?" β
"Isn't there any?" Lei Ming raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, the question in his tone was very obvious.
Lian Ronglin leaned back against the sofa, folded his legs, looked at the teacup with empty eyes, and was silent for a long time, Yan SΓΉ's face was colder and sharper than ever, as if this question was a taboo that even Ronglin did not want to touch in his life.
"When you should know, you will know." Dispensable answer, Lian Ronglin didn't want to say more, he quickly changed the topic, "There is one more thing, Jian Nian wants me to inform you." β
Lei Ming's eyes sank, "What's the matter?" β
"About, Quinn's next step, continue to deal with you......"
Lei Ming was always expressionless, looking at the contents of the paper handed by Lian Ronglin, he didn't even frown.
And Qian Xiaomo, who was eavesdropping at the door of the kitchen at the moment, also came back to her senses on this topic, stretched her neck but didn't know what was written on the paper. Lian Ronglin took a sip of tea silently, this piece of paper was just taken from Jian Nian's hand this morning. The days of calm seem to be coming to an end in a blink of an eye.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Early this morning, a lot of people came to the mansion. According to Jian Nian's requirements for a new life in the New Year, the housekeeper specially arranged for the personnel of the cleaning company to come to the mansion to clean up. This time, no one dared to stop it, and even the black-clothed man who was monitoring Jian Nian inside and outside the mansion was withdrawn. The black shadow has no way to disobey.
In the study, Black Shadow and Jian Nian made a big fuss, and finally Quinn re-empowered Jian Nian, which had quickly spread throughout the organization. Everyone didn't dare to say it openly, but secretly they were talking about it. The Skeleton Alliance has long been divided into two factions, one that supports Jian Nian and one that supports Black Shadow. This time, the black shadow was defeated at his own hands, and the forces of other parties were also weakened. Jian Nian once again regained the right to freedom.
"Young owner, okay."
"Young owner, early."
As soon as Jian Nian came out of the bedroom, people up and down saluted him respectfully, which was very different from his previous attitude.
Jian Nian stepped on the mottled morning light with her slender legs, and when she came to the staircase, she saw the cleaning staff led upstairs by the housekeeper. The housekeeper immediately saluted with people, Jian Nian glanced at them, didn't say anything, walked straight over, but didn't expect to take a few steps, he was tripped by a broom held in his hand, if it wasn't for the man's quick hand to support Jian Nian, Jian Nian would definitely fall ugly.
The butler and the others turned pale with fright, Jian Nian raised his eyes and glared at the man fiercely, and reprimanded him a few words before straightening his coat and walking away. The housekeeper also hurriedly took the cleaning staff to work, and the man with the broom glanced meaningfully at the back of Jian Nian going downstairs, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and he could vaguely see something in the fist, and he put it in his pocket. Lian Ronglin was mixed in the team of cleaning staff, kept moving forward, and soon left the team under the pretext of disappearing without a trace.
By the time the cleaning staff had cleaned all the rooms, it was almost evening, and the sunlight was faintly hidden behind the clouds.
Jian Nian stood in the back garden of the Lian Mansion, holding a glass of whiskey on the rocks in his hand, looking at the large area of desolation in front of him.
"Tomorrow get the gardener, it's time for the garden to be repaired."
"Yes, young owner." As soon as the butler's words landed, a maid came over and whispered something in his ear, and the housekeeper immediately said to Jian Nian, "Young master, Miss M is here." β
"Nope." Jian Nian's indifferent and hoarse voice did not change in the slightest, and she was still drinking cold whiskey.
"When I come, when do I need to be informed?"
As soon as Jian Nian's voice fell, there was the bewitching voice of Martini and the sound of crisp high heels.
"I'm here to visit the young owner today."
Martini walked up, holding a bouquet of carnations in his arms and handed it to Jian Nian, who was still just looking at the empty garden in front of her. The smile on the corner of Martini's lips trembled, turned around and handed the flower to the housekeeper, and noticed the wine in Jian Nian's hand again, "The injuries on the young owner's body are not healed, how can you drink." β
Jian Nian glanced at Martini indifferently and sneered, "When are you more verbosous than the old mother." Or is your real age the same as your mother's? β
"......" Martini's smile gradually stopped, but she still forced a smile, "yes, I'm really almost like an old mother, so I think I should stay and take care of the young owner, how about being a real old mother." β
Jian Nian was stunned and looked at Martini in surprise.
Martini had already entered the role, with a smile in her eyes, and snatched the wine glass from Jian Nian's hand, "The first thing the old mother has to do is not to allow you to drink alcohol during the healing period, which is not good for the wound to recover." β
After speaking, she put the wine glass on the table, Jian Nian stared at her eyes without saying a word, and the cold chill was stronger than the winter wind.
"Second thing......"
"Who allowed you to ......" Jian Nian let out a low roar and grabbed Martini's outstretched wrist, grinning with his teeth very difficult to provoke, "...... me. β
Martini's eyes hidden behind the black lace politeness did not blink, and the exquisite eye makeup set off her eyes were very breathtaking, only to see her red lips slightly opened, and there was a strong smell of perfume between the conversations, "It is allowed by the owner." He has agreed, and my marriage with the young owner's family has been agreed. β
