Chapter 138: Holding back a smile, it's useless
Although Li Jingnan couldn't hold back his smile, he still found two aprons very seriously, and then prepared the raw materials for making the cake.
Wash the strawberries, cut the strawberries, whip the cream, separate the egg whites and yolks, and stir.
He taught every step of the way how to do it methodically.
Yin Shaoqing also studied very carefully, but he scrapped a lot of cake embryos, and finally made a decent one.
"Mr. Yin," Li Jingnan couldn't laugh or cry, "According to your way of doing this, the cost of a cake is too high!" β
"I just don't cook a lot." Yin Shaoqing glanced at him lightly, "As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and when I become proficient, I will definitely not be worse than you." β
"I admire your confidence." Li Jingnan touched him with his elbow, "Did you chase Lu Nanxian with this dead-skinned spirit in the first place?" β
Yin Shaoqing glared at him, and Li Jingnan stopped talking very interestingly.
The cake is cool, set, and fragrant fills the room. Yin Shaoqing admired his work with satisfaction, carefully put it into the carton, and then patted Li Jingnan on the shoulder, "Thank you today!" β
"You're welcome." Li Jingnan smiled, "You are quite attentive to Lu Nanxian." β
"That's nature." Yin Shaoqing showed a little vigilance again, "You kid won't still give up, right?" β
Li Jingnan laughed.
"Mr. Yin, don't be so careful, okay? I know you've always suspected that I approached you for a purpose, but I'm really sincere to Mingyue! β
Yin Shaoqing's expression was slightly dark.
And Li Jingnan also restrained his smile, "By the way, Mr. Yin, when it comes to the purpose...... Actually, I want to remind you to be careful about Diamond. β
"What did you say?" Yin Shaoqing was stunned, "Isn't she your girlfriend?" β
"Yes, but I've always thought she's a little weird."
"Heh, you let us pay attention to your girlfriend, I think you're weird!"
Yin Shaoqing strode away with the cake, Li Jingnan still wanted to say something, but standing at the door, all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.
What else can be said and on what standpoint?
He shook his head, presumably with Yin Shaoqing's vigilance against him, it was useless for him to say anything now.
But with Yin Shaoqing's vigilance, he wouldn't be unguarded against Diamond.
Li Jingnan sighed and smiled dumbly, let everything be natural.
At this time, the phone rang, he answered, and called softly, "Fairy mother, do you have any advice?" β
"Just greetings to you!" Mom smiled over there, "How are you getting along with Nanxian lately?" I haven't revealed my identity yet! β
"No, it's not yet."
"How long will this happen?"
"Mom......" Li Jingnan wanted to explain to her that he also wanted to observe Diamond for a while longer, at least to help Lu Nanxian and Yin Shaoqing resolve the crisis, and then reveal his identity. But after thinking about it again, even if I explained it, my mother might not be able to understand, so she coped: "Okay, okay, I know everything, don't worry, I will find a suitable time to show them everything, and then take Nanxian back to see you, don't worry!" β
"Well, that's pretty much it! By the way, I heard that Nanxian already has a child? β
"yes, like six or seven years old, it's a boy."
"Ouch, isn't that a tiger's brain? It's time for fun! β
"I haven't seen it a few times." Li Jingnan smiled, "It's long, it's not very much like Nanxian, and his eyebrows and eyes are a little more like his father." β
"Who the hell is his father?"
"Speaking of his father...... Li Jingnan pursed his lips, "Mom, this man is so interesting, but I'm quite satisfied with him, judging from his current performance, Nanxian and him should be happy." β
"That's good, that's good!"
The mother and son talked for a while and hung up the phone.
Li Jingnan leaned against the door frame, looked at the battlefield-like kitchen, and couldn't help frowning helplessly.
This Yin Shaoqing, thanks to the fact that he praised him just now, made a mess of the kitchen and ran away without blinking, so he had to clean up......
In Yin's top-level office, Li Qing handed over a copy of the investigation results to Yin Shaoqing.
"Young master, your guess is right, Luo Yaocheng hasn't left yet, and he is still staying in Whale City!"
Yin Shaoqing's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and his deep eyes shone with a chilling luster.
"It's useless to just find out that he stayed in Whale City, do you know where he is?"
"He has always been cunning, and he has anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so it is really not easy to find."
"What about the people who associate with him?"
Li Qing replied in a low voice: "It is said that there is a popular star in the entertainment industry. β
Yin Shaoqing was stunned, and the words that Li Jingnan had told him that day sounded like lightning in his mind, making him pay attention to Diamond......
At that time, he still wondered how he could mention this person for no reason.
Now it seems that Li Jingnan knows more than him.
But who is Li Jingnan?
Yin Shaoqing's brows tightened, and these question marks lingered in his mind. That Li Jingnan is also an enemy and a friend, he has also investigated his identity and background, and he can find out that those who have no access at all - the rich second generation of the shipyard, the family runs a wharf, although he is not in Whale City, he is also a local famous family, he likes to sail, and often drives a small boat to drift on the high seas.
The only doubt is the purpose of his visit to Whale City.
He is not like an ordinary rich second generation, who fled to another city in order to escape the marriage arranged by his family or to be forced to inherit the family business. Li Jingnan has a good relationship with his family and has never done anything rebellious, and he has received strong support from his family when he came to Whale City this time.
If his purpose is Lu Nanxian, is it ......
Yin Shaoqing took a deep breath and felt a faint pain in his temples.
β¦β¦
Since the last time he talked to his mother on the phone, Li Jingnan has gradually approached Lu Youchen purposefully.
He often took the initiative to ask to pick up Lu Youchen when Lu Nanxian was too busy, and after receiving it, the two of them, one big and one young, started the crazy play mode. Li Jingnan is very good at playing, from Transformers to Need for Speed to Ultraman, which boys love, he knows everything.
He is also a master of holding dolls, and every time he takes Lu Youchen to the crane machine in the mall, he can return with a full load.
From time to time, the words "Uncle Li" appeared in Lu Youchen's mouth.
"Uncle Li is great, he has never lost a flying car!"
"Uncle Li gave me a set of warship puzzles, and we spent an afternoon together, most of them were completed by him, he is so good!"
"Mommy, you're mistaken, that's not Ultraman Tiga, it's Ultraman Dinah! Hmph, Uncle Li won't admit his mistake! β
The more "Uncle Li" Lu Youchen said, the more gloomy Yin Shaoqing's face became.
At the dinner table, Lu Youchen refused to eat the cake made by Yin Shaoqing, and looked at him aggrievedly with a small mouth: "Dad, your strawberries are all baked into dried strawberries!" Uncle Li's cake is not like this......"
"Smack!" Yin Shaoqing slapped his knife and fork on the table, and his eyes seemed to have two volcanoes erupting at any time.
"What are you doing?" Lu Nanxian blamed him for scaring the child, "You didn't make it delicious, and you have to blame Xiaochen?" β
"He's full of Uncle Li!" Yin Shaoqing's voice was raised, "What benefits did Li Jingnan give him!" β
The man began to be cautious again...... Lu Nanxian couldn't cry or laugh, rolled his eyes, and carried Xiaochen back to the room.
Within a few days, several people took advantage of the spring season to make an appointment to travel, except for He Yuanshan, who was also exploring in Antarctica, everyone else arrived.
Yin Shaoqing didn't want to come, but he couldn't stand Lu Youchen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally joined the team with a black face.
Shen Chengcheng and Lu Nanxian found a vacant lot by the river, spread out a checkered tablecloth, and took out the prepared lunch.
"Uncle Li!" Lu Youchen's voice was crisp, "I want to eat the strawberry cake you made!" β
"Good!" Li Jingnan scratched his little nose.
Along the way, the little guy only stuck to him, chattering like a little sparrow, and even Lu Nanxian expressed helplessness, but Li Jingnan just looked at him dotingly, and kept meeting his various reasonable or unreasonable requirements.
Shen Tingcheng smiled and whispered to Lu Nanxian: "I didn't expect Li Jingnan and Xiaochen to have a special fate!" β
These words came into Yin Shaoqing's ears, how awkward it sounded.
As soon as he was about to refute, he was put on his shoulder by Shen Beicheng, "Alas, I think your father is about to fall out of favor!" β
"you!"
Since the two men got married in the private room of the bar, they are now on good terms like brothers.
Only Qi Sirui, who was standing on the side and was silent, felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Li Jingnan's love for Lu Youchen, and then looked at Lu Nanxian, thinking that this child almost died in her hands in the past...... Her heart suddenly beat violently twice. "What's wrong?" Li Jingnan suddenly appeared behind her, put one hand around her waist, and chuckled at her, "Look at your bad face, what's uncomfortable?" β
Qi Sirui moved her lips, and her heart suddenly swelled with sourness.
She looked at Li Jingnan's clear eyes and his sunny smile, she coveted this beauty, and hoped that she was too careful...... But she really wanted to ask him, why was he so close to Lu Youchen?
Is it because of Lu Nanxian?
Is it that at the beginning, what he liked was Lu Nanxian, but because Lu Nanxian already had Yin Shaoqing by his side, he retreated to pursue her?
Qi Sirui clenched her fists.
Why is Lu Nanxian fascinated by no matter which man, and why does Lu Nanxian always stop her from pursuing happiness!
βDiamondοΌβ Li Jingnan shouted at her a few times, noticing the change in her face and his eyes becoming obscure.
"Oh, I'm fine." Qi Sirui smiled reluctantly, "I'm a little sick to my stomach, go to the bathroom." β
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, it's over there!" She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You guys have a picnic first, don't wait for me!" β
Li Jingnan stood in place and looked at her back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This large lawn beside the river is a natural park, and there is no shelter except for a small forest.
Qi Sirui walked for a while before walking to the woods, looked around, and made sure that no one was following, before secretly taking out her mobile phone.
Luo Yaocheng has already called her more than a dozen times.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and she turned back, only to hear the cold and fierce voice on the head: "What did you do just now!" β
"I ...... I shoot exterior locations. "She made up a lie.
"Heh, shoot on location with so many people?"
Qi Sirui's face turned pale, and she looked around sharply, except for the empty woods, there was not even a ghost shadow.
But Luo Yaocheng must be watching her somewhere......
She clenched her phone tightly, her arms trembling slightly.
"Mr. Luo, you ......"
"I'm not against you hanging out with them more, after all, it's important for you to earn their trust. But......" Luo Yaocheng smiled coldly, "I also need you to prove that you are loyal to me!" β
Qi Sirui took a deep breath, "How does Mr. Luo want me to prove it?" β
"Find an opportunity to push that little kid into the water."
"What?" Her heart trembled.
"Heh, reluctant?" Luo Yaocheng sneered, "When you kidnapped that kidnap at the beginning, you weren't as indecisive as you are now!" β
Qi Sirui bit her lip and didn't speak.
"Are you going to do it or not?" Luo Yaocheng's voice was cold, "Qi Sirui, I have many ways to make your life worse than death...... If you don't push that child, the one who falls into the water may be your sweetheart! β
Qi Sirui gasped and agreed in a trembling voice, "Mr. Luo, I have always been loyal to you, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." β
"Well, that's good. I'm waiting to see the results! β
Hanging up the phone, Qi Sirui tried her best to suppress her rapid heartbeat, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
However, when he turned around, it was Li Jingnan who was standing not far behind him! Her face turned pale, and she almost screamed.
Li Jingnan didn't show anything abnormal, "Diamond, what's wrong with you?" β
"You ......" Qi Sirui's lips twitched, and it took a while to say a complete sentence, "Why are you here?" β
"I'm looking for you!" Li Jingnan smiled, "Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, everyone is quite worried." No one has come to this wood, and we are afraid that you will be in danger. β
Qi Sirui lowered her head, she coveted his smile, but she was extremely uneasy.
"Let's go," Li Jingnan held her hand, "Hurry up and go over to eat, I brought strawberry cake today, Xiaochen is cute to eat!" β
She calmed down and followed Li Jingnan back to the team.
After lunch, Lu Youchen has been playing by the river, Yin Shaoqing and Lu Nanxian saw that he couldn't see him well, and preferred to let him play by himself. Shen Tingcheng and Shen Beicheng, brother and sister, were playing chess and had a lot of fun.
Qi Sirui has been looking for an opportunity to attack Lu Youchen.
However, for some reason, Li Jingnan stayed by Lu Youchen's side without leaving. The little boy wanted to go to the river to catch fish, so he rolled up his trousers and went into the water with him, still standing in front of him.
The river is turbulent, and there are many stones and undercurrents in it, and if you really fall into it, you may not be able to escape.
Qi Sirui knew that getting rid of Lu Youchen was the best time to show loyalty to Luo Yaocheng.
But let alone pushing him, it was difficult for her to even get close to him. Whenever she was close to Lu Youchen, Li Jingnan would always find a reason to take Lu Youchen to play elsewhere, and she always pounced.
She even wondered if Li Jingnan had heard the phone call.
But Li Jingnan still smiled at her, and still let her fall into it.
For an entire afternoon, Qi Sirui spent this painful contradiction.
Later in the evening, she dragged her tired body into the house, and suddenly found a figure in the living room! She screamed, quickly turned around and turned on the light, only to see that it was Luo Yaocheng sitting there.
He stood up and approached her step by step, grinning like a demon from hell.
Qi Sirui leaned against the wall, trembling.
Luo Yaocheng took out a cigarette, didn't light it, just held it between his fingers and played with it. "Baby, you didn't do well today!"
"Mr. Luo......" Qi Sirui said softly, "I've been looking for an opportunity, but I haven't found it." β
"Rubbish!" Luo Yaocheng roared angrily, and she was so frightened that her soul flew away.
He grabbed her by the throat, her eyes widened, and the suffocation of horror permeated every pore of her body.
"Do you think that when you enter the showbiz, you really think of yourself as a movie queen?" Luo Yaocheng looked vicious, "Do you think I can't see that you are acting all afternoon!" β
"No ......"
"Qi Sirui, do you think that if you help them, they will be grateful to you? If you let Lu Nanxian know your true identity, you see if she will have a deep sisterhood with you! β
Qi Sirui was almost out of breath, leaning against the wall and slowly slumping.
Luo Yaocheng let go of her, fresh air poured into her nose, and she breathed heavily.
However, in the next second, a pile of photos fell like snowflakes.
Qi Sirui exclaimed, those were all photos of her before plastic surgery, her face was unrecognizable, and her flesh and blood were blurred, which was very terrifying.
"See?" Luo Yaocheng sneered, "I still have a lot of things like this!" β
"Don't!" Qi Sirui cried and begged him, "Mr. Luo, I will definitely help you do what you want me to do, but these things must not be passed on, I beg you!" β
"I don't want to do things that far." The man slid a finger down her forehead gently, "Heh, such a beautiful face, I can get a place in the entertainment industry anyway, and I have earned a lot of money, if it is ruined like this, wouldn't it be a pity!" β
Qi Sirui nodded hurriedly.
"Then I'll give you one last chance." Luo Yaocheng's eyes were like two sharp blades, "Lu Nanxian wants to develop the real estate industry, recently she has set her sights on a piece of land, as long as you can help me get the reserve price of her auction this time, the transaction between us can continue!" β
"Reserve price ......" Qi Sirui's head was empty, this is a trade secret, since the official seal was lost last time, Lu Nanxian no longer trusts his subordinates, this kind of top-secret documents are kept personally, and even Zhou Si and Bai Fancheng can't get it.
With her, how could she possibly get it.
"You have to figure it out yourself," Luo Yaocheng smiled, "Your little lover will definitely be able to!" Heh, I see that he is very close to Lu Nanxian, and even her son is like his own son! β
Qi Sirui seemed to step on the air, and her heart chuckled.
"Baby, you say...... Did that Li Jingnan lie to you? He probably didn't like you at all, and just threw himself into your arms because he couldn't catch up with Lu Nanxian? β
"It's not!" Qi Sirui clenched her ears, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You don't want to admit this fact, there's no way, Lu Nanxian is better than you, first Yin Shaoqing was loyal to her, and now there is another Li Jingnan...... Hehe, why do all the men you have a crush on her? β
Qi Sirui felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
"Give you three days to get the reserve price." Luo Yaocheng looked at her, "Otherwise, you know my means!" I'm going to make you ruined in front of the whole world! β
