Chapter 9: Latte art on a cappuccino
Li Huanyi's home is not big, only a one-bedroom layout.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs.
The coffee machine, oven and juicer in his open kitchen tell he's a life-conscious person. The kitchen wall also has pans and wok of various sizes. A few clean rags were laid out on the stovetop, and a dozen or so dishes of uniform style were neatly erected on wooden shelves.
After some secret review, Liang Yi nodded silently.
"Your kitchen looks quite similar to my cousin's, and you and Shenji should have a common language." Liang Yi didn't know why he mentioned Shen Ji, maybe he wanted to use her as a shield.
"Really? Then next time you bring your cousin to my house to play. ”
Liang Yi saw Li Huan standing in the sunlight spilling in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, like a person who had crossed over from the past. Yihuan Xinyuan, Yihuan Xinyuan, Yihuan Xinyuan...... Why I never heard him talk about buying a house 7 years ago?
"Aren't you going to treat me to coffee? Is it possible now? Liang Yi deliberately controlled his tone in an indifferent tone, which seemed a little rude.
"Oh, yes." As soon as Li Huan ran away from the sun, she saw him smile awkwardly, and the wrinkles and fine lines on his face were the best marks that proved that the past 7 years had passed.
He washed his hands on the faucet, and immediately got busy around the coffee machine, after the coffee beans were slowly grinded, a strong aroma of coffee soon wafted out of the room, Liang Yi felt a little intoxicated.
He looked very professional with milk latte art, and although Liang Yi was standing 3 meters away from him, she could still see that there was a beautiful figure in the coffee cup.
"It's too late for you to open a café now, and it shouldn't be difficult for business to prosper." Liang Yi complimented.
Li Huan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not reply.
"Drink, your cappuccino."
This is a set of pink and green coffee cups, with a small stainless steel coffee spoon arranged on the coffee cup plate. She finally saw the figure of his latte art, a mellow heart.
"I've been practicing this latte art for a long time, and at the moment I'll only be able to do this shape." Seeing Liang Yi staring blankly at the coffee, he urged: "Drink it while it's hot, it's the best one just made." ”
"Well, thank you." But she just took a small sip, and the heart-shaped latte art on the surface of the coffee was out of shape, and she felt relieved when she saw the love latte art that was missing a corner.
When she looked up at him, she saw that he was looking at her intently, "You're still the same as before, and you have a white beard on your lips when you drink a cappuccino. ”
She realized that his hand was slowly reaching for her face, and subconsciously tried to avoid it, but before she could react, a hand holding a tissue box appeared in front of her.
"Emma, wipe your white beard." Li Huan grinned at her.
She suddenly felt a sense of loss cross her heart, "Thank you." She pulled out a tissue handed by Li Huan and pressed it on the "white beard".
After a period of silence, Li Huan walked to the sofa area in the living room, "Come and sit, let's talk." ”
She didn't know what he was going to talk to her about, could it be that he was going to talk about old things? She was afraid to talk about it, but she was looking forward to it...... So she heard herself say, "You, you bought this house 7 or 8 years ago, it should be cheaper, right?" ”
"Well, it's much cheaper than the current house prices. The market value of the house is now estimated to be more than 10 times that of the year. However, at that time, I was just a poor man who borrowed money to buy a house, so this house was still very expensive for me at that time. Li Huan saw that she was still standing in the corner of the kitchen, drinking coffee a little distractedly, and urged: "Emma, come and sit, don't stand." ”
In fact, Liang Yi was a little afraid to approach him, since she learned the meaning of "Yihuan Xinyuan" at the moment of getting out of the elevator, she had a feeling of being possessed by her past self, but she was glad that she was still disguised as a very businesslike appearance on the surface.
Speaking of the house, she realized that she could talk about her grandmother's case along the topic of the house.
"So my grandmother's house can now be sold for a better price." Liang Yi walked to the single sofa next to Li Huan with his coffee and sat down solemnly, "My grandmother's house is quite close to the city center, and the nearby transportation is very convenient, and there are four bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms, a balcony, a sundeck, and there seems to be a small attic. ”
"Are you thinking of the news that Zou Wei's father and uncle appeared on the real estate exchange?" Perhaps this is because she has a good heart, and without her explanation, this old friend will immediately understand the meaning of her words.
"Well, if my grandmother's house can be sold for a very high price, and then the day after she dies, my uncle and they will sell the house for a cent, so the two of them are indeed very suspicious of killing my grandmother. But just in the morning, I met Zou Wei's father in Zou Wei's ward, and he also explained to me that grandma's funeral affairs must be handled sooner or later, and the house is only one of them, and it must be done early and evening, which seems to make sense, uncle and they are just dealing with grandma's funeral. Liang Yi wiped the white beard on the side of his mouth with a tissue every time he took a sip of coffee.
"There are 3 negative news stories in your family, each of which starts with Zou Wei's name, I think this murderer may be targeting Zou Wei, huh...... Or are there two people who killed your grandmother and Zou Wei? ”
"You think so, too?" Unexpectedly, the two of them thought of going together, which saved Liang Yi a lot of time to explain.
"Yes, I saw Zou Wei in a trance in the emergency room today, and I felt that this matter was not simple. Didn't you talk to Zou Wei in the hospital just now, you said that you would go to see him next time, so now he can't even talk to people normally. And those reporters told me that they received the news of the "Cowherd" in the early hours of this morning, and then rushed to Zou Wei's house to block him, but what they waited for was the scene when Zou Wei was carried out and sent to the hospital, why did you say Zou Wei fainted? Could it be because he noticed a group of reporters standing outside the door at home? Is he afraid of journalists? Li Huan felt out the vanilla biscuits on the partition under the coffee table and said while eating.
"You're right. After these 3 hot searches, I also feel that there is a person behind him who is targeting Zou Wei, and someone wants to engage him. When I saw my brother today, he seemed to think I was a bad person, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately buried his head in the quilt, and then said vigorously that he was not Zou Wei, he hadn't done it, let me go, maybe he took me as a reporter who wanted to interview him. When he said that he had never done it, he probably meant that he had not been a cowherd. Zou Wei's wife Du Ling is now going to divorce him, I don't know if this is the effect that the mastermind behind the scenes wants. Liang Yi finished the last sip of coffee and said with a more serious expression.
Li Huan tinkered with the biscuit box and put the last two vanilla-filled biscuits in front of Liang Yi, "But if he really hasn't been a cowherd, why is he afraid of being interviewed by reporters?" This is an opportunity to clarify yourself. I think his mental trance should not have erupted suddenly, it must have accumulated over a period of time, and the encirclement of those reporters was at most the last straw that broke the camel's back. ”
"That's right, Zou Wei must have been stimulated by something for a long time." Liang Yi remembered that when she was in the hospital, Uncle Yongtao told her that Du Ling often spoke disrespectfully to Zou Wei, "I think I want to talk to them." Liang Yi took out his mobile phone from his handbag and pulled out his cheat book, "Not only to talk to Zou Wei, but also to the people around him, his wife Du Ling, his nanny, his father Zou Yongtao, and our generation's ...... Yuanxiang is the closest to Zou Wei, and he has to find Yuanxiang. As for his colleagues at work...... I don't know each other, but maybe I can ask Du Ling to introduce Zou Wei's colleagues, after all, Zou Wei has been in the DU brand for the past year, modeling for their families, and shooting publicity. ”
Li Huan didn't speak, looked down at his phone for a while, and said leisurely: "Have you carefully read the text of Cowherd's Weibo?" I only read one title before, and there is a short article at the bottom, which says that Zou Wei was a cowherd introduced by a friend when he was studying at a sports university in Xiandu, because he wanted to make extra money. Did he go to college in Xiandu? ”
There is also a text at the bottom of the hot search, and Liang Yi didn't pay attention to the details. She hurriedly pulled out the article and looked, "It's really written so specifically, Zou Wei seems to be ...... It's in the sports academy of Xiandu, I can ask him and his father about this. ”
The full text of the Weibo describing Zou Wei as a cowherd is as follows:
Recently, some informed netizens said that Zou Wei, the spokesperson of the internationally renowned sports brand DU, had been a cowherd during college. Cowherd is another name for a male sex worker, and it can also be called a male publicist.
Zou Wei studied at the Sports Institute in Xiandu for 4 years, during which he wanted to earn some extra money, so he entered a KVT part-time job through a friend's introduction. At first, Zou Wei worked as a waiter with an hourly salary of 8 yuan, but soon learned that there were some services in the store to accompany customers to drink and chat, and the hourly salary was 100 yuan, so he quickly got this job opportunity with a handsome face.
After going out on the street with guests many times, it is said that Zou Wei was a male public relations officer who was one of the few male and female guests in the entertainment venue.
"The hourly wage gap is 10 times so much, no wonder Zou Wei wants to do male public relations...... It's a very attractive salary. Li Huan pointed to the screen of his mobile phone and said.
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, okay? This news may not be true, maybe someone made it up and deliberately framed Zou Wei! Liang Yi's brother was heartbroken, and his voice became a bit shrewd scolding the street, "Look! This is still the official Weibo release of 'Internet Entertainment Celebrity', this is a serious big V account, why did this Weibo account release such unconfirmed news? Now people on the Internet are getting more and more ugly in order to attract people's attention. If Shen Ji had been his family's reporter, she would definitely not have reported such fake news, she used to be an honest reporter. ”
"I'm getting more and more interested in your cousin now, you can invite her here next weekend, and we can eat hot pot together at home." Li Huan issued a sincere invitation.
"Are you interested in my cousin?"
"Uh...... No, though...... I seem to smell the vinegar in your words. ”
Liang Yigang reached out and picked up a piece of his vanilla sandwich biscuit, but as soon as he heard him say this, he put the biscuit back again.
