Chapter 51: Tears at the Dinner Table
It's obviously a good-looking face, stained with sauce and oil, and it's a houseman.
Lan Qi took out a wet paper towel on the table and wiped off the sauce and grease stains for him: "Why do you suddenly know how to cook?" ”
This sudden thoughtfulness, Lan You's heart was numb and his heart was beating faster, and he handed her the chopsticks: "I expect you to cook after you come back to your senses, then I will eat today, I sleep very well, this is woken up by hunger, this is the first link of my self-reliance, otherwise I will be swept out of the house by you in the future, and I will be hungry." ”
Lan Qi took the chopsticks and tasted them.
All the vegetables that can be made in the refrigerator have been put into the fried rice, and the meat has just been thawed, but it is covered with the sauce and condiments of the fried meat, and the taste is no different from the fresh meat.
Lan Qi was a little surprised, and he couldn't see that this guy was like him.
But: "What do you mean by that?" Is it to grab my appetite and make me dependent on you, so that I don't sweep you out? ”
"It's okay if you want to understand it this way, even if you don't scratch your stomach, only grab your work, you can't do without me, so you'd better think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to maintain your reputation, but also to let us meet all the time, you use it slowly, I'm out."
Lan You's words reminded her that if she wants to have the best of both worlds, there is a way to solve it.
Lan Qi ate quickly, and after eating, he threw himself into the Xianxia drama again.
After lunch, Lan You didn't bother her again.
In the afternoon, when I didn't know what time it was, Lan Ling's call came again: "Lan Qi, are you busy?" ”
"Well, something."
"Old Man Ding asked us to go to the Zijin Pavilion for dinner tonight, you might as well bring Lan You with you." Lan Ling listened to her "uh" hesitation on the other end, as if guessing that she would refuse, and said, "Old Man Ding's time is running out, I just had a round of rescue this morning, and tonight may be the last one, you think about it." ”
Lan Ling wants to use the elder card and the family card to play this game, and Lan Qi will lose: "Okay, I will arrive on time with Lan You in the evening." ”
After answering the phone, Lan Qi was in no mood.
She knocked on Lan You's bedroom and asked, "I just received a call from Lan Ling, what do they want to do?" ”
"Miss Lan Qi, although I have mind reading skills, I don't use them every second." Lan You was silent for a while, finished understanding, and said to her, "It's true, Old Man Ding is running out of time, tonight I want to take advantage of the matter of Zijin Villa, in front of Tang Ziyi and Charles, to set the Universal Entertainment Plaza, but this square is too golden, and the person in charge of both sides must be called to manage it together, he hopes that after he leaves, the Universal Entertainment Plaza will not cause family infighting." ”
"People go tea and cool, I can guarantee that Tang Ziyi can do it, but it is difficult to protect Charles, the old man should know Charles very well, why do you put yourself in the position of begging for help?" A trace of pain suddenly rose in Lan Qi's heart, Old Man Ding was like her own grandfather, Lan Qi was heartbroken because of sympathy.
"Do you think he has any other way? If the descendants of the Ding family become a weapon, there will be no Zijin Villa, that night we saw the eldest of the Ding family, that is, the eldest son and second daughter of the old man Ding, the third daughter died early, and the younger son has been abroad, because the internal affairs of the Ding family are in charge of the eldest son, and the younger son can't get any benefits, so he immigrates with his mother. ”
"Hey......"
Lan Qi once felt that it was a happy thing to have a family, joys, sorrows and sorrows could be shared with others, and there was no need for a person to hold back in his heart until he was wronged, so that he would distort that God was too unfair, giving her life but depriving her of happiness, letting her live in a lonely and helpless personal world, watching other children surrounded by their parents, laughing and laughing all day long, she could only secretly hide in the corner and secretly envy.
Now I am faintly glad that being alone also has the advantage of being alone, and one day I will leave this world without taking a penny with me, and I will not leave a penny behind.
Alone carefree is the most free and free.
Lan Qi also thought that if he got married one day, there would definitely be a large family sitting around a table enjoying a delicious dinner.
But Lan Qi never thought that the first realization of her beautiful idea was actually at Old Man Ding's family banquet.
Old man Ding broke up all the people of the Ding family tonight, and there were only five of them left at the dinner table.
That day, I looked at the old man who was still in good spirits, but in the past few days, he was so weakened that he was no longer human, and the whole person shrunk into a wheelchair, and his thin face greeted them with a smile: "Come, everyone sitting here is your own person, so you are not polite." ”
But everyone with a heavy mood is difficult to move chopsticks, just to not sweep the old man's fun, and reluctantly pick up chopsticks.
The banquet was so quiet that only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard, and even the sound of chewing was completely drowned out.
Suddenly, for a moment, Lan Qi looked at Old Man Ding's hand holding the soup spoon trembling violently, and he really wanted to cry.
Lan Qi held back his tears and buried his head in eating, and when he looked back, he saw Old Man Ding paralyzed in a wheelchair, looking up and closing his eyes, Lan Qi was really afraid that he would fall asleep like this, and his tears couldn't help falling into the bowl.
Tang Ziyi thoughtfully patted her vest, and in this depressing banquet, she was the first to speak: "Everyone's stomach is at the bottom at this time, Grandpa Ding has something to say, we must do it." ”
At this time, all that Old Man Ding could play was the favor card, but in fact, he didn't want to be strong.
Lan Ling on the opposite side pushed Charles, and Charles also said: "My father and the Gao family have developed all the way to today, and they can't do without the support of Grandpa Ding, what we can do for the Ding family, Ding Dang will do our best." ”
Lan Qi's heart fell like lead, and Charles looked sincere, but he didn't seem to have a heart, nor did he seem to go against his heart.
Old man Ding slowly opened his eyes, and as his eyelids opened, he had no choice but to shed two tears.
Lan Qi's heart was painful, is this the unbearable death of a person?
Old man Ding tried his best to straighten his waist, even if he was about to die, on the conference table converted from a dinner table, he was also quite a general: "I came to you today, I'm afraid that it will be the last time in my life to sit with you to eat and talk.
You are also very clear about the meaning of today's coming, I will say it bluntly, after the transfer of Zijin Villa to the Tang family, the Tang family paid the Gao family 2.4 billion ownership fees, in addition to the more than 400 million loans with interest, the Gao family also returned one billion of them to the Ding family, this billion has been all the favors owed by the Gao family to the Ding family, in public and private, I, the old man, is really very grateful to the Gao family.
Nowadays, the Ding family, there is only one Universal Entertainment Center Plaza left, in the face of various competition in the market, although the business of the square is not as good as before, but the area and internal structure of the square is still the most in the whole Lichuan City, I want to hear, Gao and Tang, do you have any plans for the square, maybe, we can cooperate again. ”
Everyone put down their chopsticks and seriously you look at me and I look at you.
Old man Ding, is this going to test the on-the-spot adaptability of both sides?
However, the people in charge of these two sides also seem to have expected it for a long time, and each has its own plot.
Lan Qi secretly took a look, and he didn't have a surprised expression, and he was reasonably calm, as if he was just waiting for Old Man Ding to take the initiative to speak.
