Chapter 32 Restraint
"Didn't you want Yiyi to apologize? This is her daughter-in-law, let's discuss what to do."
Grandma said this sentence plainly, but it contained a huge amount of information.
An Ruofei's expression changed.
Ning Zhiqian was dumbfounded, and was digesting the fact that she had become "Chu Yi's wife", when she was pushed by her grandmother, she took two steps forward to meet An Ruofei's uncertain expression.
"Oh." Ning Zhiqian thought she couldn't show weakness in front of An Ruofei, so she omitted the details of "daughter-in-law", and planned to ask the matter before she asked, "Why should Yiyi apologize?"
"Fix it yourself, don't fight." Grandma saw that they were chatting, shook her head, and walked out the door, "I don't want to get involved in this matter. Go to the yard."
"Slow down." Ning Zhiqian sent grandma out of the door.
As soon as grandma left, the door closed, and only Ning Zhiqian and An Ruofei were left in the huge room. After half a minute, the housekeeper appeared, made a cup of tea for Ning Zhiqian, and then ran away with a tray.
"Please sit down." An Ruofei assumed the host's posture, "It's hard work for you to come from such a far place, let's drink some tea."
Ning Zhiqian walked over and sat down in the middle seat without admitting defeat, "What's going on?"
An Ruofei took a sip from her teacup, moistened her throat, and then said slowly, "Chu Yi hit me."
Ning Zhiqian tried not to show surprise, and asked sullenly, "When?"
"Yesterday," An Ruofei saw that she didn't respond, and raised two fingers, "twice."
Ning Zhiqian waited quietly, without urging.
After staring wide-eyed for a while, An Ruofei lost her composure, and said to Chu Yi in a cruel and rude direction, "One time in front of my subordinates, one time in front of my family, even grandma doesn't care. Li. You have known her not long ago, but you never thought that she is such a bad-tempered person who can only be violent?"
Ning Zhiqian thought of Chu Yi's sudden return home yesterday, and understood what was going on.Chu Yi hit someone, she was surprised, but she didn't feel disappointed, she just felt that the unscathed An Ruofei stared and said bad things in front of her eyes was disgusting, so she answered decisively, "She is not."
"Oh." An Ruofei was dissatisfied with her rebuttal, and snorted coldly, "I have known her for more than 20 years and I still can't see what she is like, you are..."
"I'm sorry," Ning Zhiqian interrupted An Ruofei's self-talk, "I'm sorry."
She apologized suddenly, An Ruofei was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Grandma hopes we'll be fine." Ning Zhiqian cast a disgusted look of "I still need to ask", and answered it as a matter of course, "Yi Yi hit you twice, and I apologized twice, is that enough?"
An Ruofei's smile couldn't hold on for a while, "Apologize if you don't ask clearly?"
"I listen to grandma." Ning Zhiqian didn't think it was a big deal, "And I believe in Yiyi's character. If you don't take the initiative to provoke her, she won't do it casually."
An Ruofei was so angry that she put down the cup with a "bang", "You don't make sense at all!"
"Hey, take it easy." Ning Zhiqian said unhurriedly, "Don't break our cup."
"You..." An Ruofei stood up abruptly.
Ning Zhiqian didn't follow her, but also took a cup of hot tea.
To be honest, An Ruofei's tricks were not enough in the private school her mother sent her to.She doesn't like to collude with others, which doesn't mean she can't see through it, and it doesn't mean she allows herself to be bullied.To deal with An Ruofei, just pick two tricks from the ones you've seen before.
From the moment they met, An Ruofei showed a hostile attitude, relying on An's family's wealth and status as Chu Yi's ex-girlfriend to show off in front of her.Unfortunately, neither of these two points can be tolerated in front of her. She doesn't like to curry favor with others, and has no scruples about An's family's wealth. Chu Yi obviously doesn't want to see An Ruofei's attitude. As someone who stands on the same line as Chu Yi , naturally there is no need to give a good face.
Now grandma is left to them to deal with. An Ruofei targets her, and she targets her back, so what's the big deal.
"Oh, I overestimated you." An Ruofei raised her hands and looked her over. "You really don't have any ideas, no wonder you can only go to the West Point school that you can get into if you give money."
Ning Zhiqian glanced over, "Are you investigating me?"
"There's no need to investigate." An Ruofei sarcastically said, "People in your family like to get close to others all day long. They want to put money on their faces and have nothing to do. They can only repeat a foreign school that their daughter spent money on. I don't know. Shame."
Ning Zhiqian shrugged, "If you look it up, you will know that the elementary courses in our school are paid for, and the intermediate and advanced courses must pass the assessment, which is recognized in the industry. I just finished the intermediate courses, and my level is completely up to the mark Professional, you just listen to other people's words and believe it, and feel ashamed of me, and I don't seem to have any opinions."
"Ning Zhiqian." An Ruofei was not angry when she was ridiculed, but instead smiled, and raised her phone that was recording, "You pretend to be innocent in front of others, but you will show your feet in front of me."
Ning Zhiqian didn't panic at all, and asked seriously, "When did I pretend to be innocent?"
An Ruofei didn't answer, she saved and edited the recording by herself, "I'll show it to grandma later."
"Oh, please." Ning Zhiqian really didn't care.She didn't think about maintaining a pure image in front of her grandma, she just knew that she couldn't listen to others insulting her career and belittling Chu Yi's personality, so she could refute whatever she wanted.If grandma hates her because of this, she has nothing to say.
An Ruofei is very skilled in editing and recording. When grandma came back from a walk, she immediately went up to her and wrapped her arms around her and said, "Grandma, listen. Ning Zhiqian scolded me just now."
Grandma was dumbfounded after hearing this, "Why are you telling me this?"
"She has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Don't be fooled by her appearance."
"Sharp teeth are a good thing," grandma said with a smile, "Feifei, you also need to practice your eloquence. For this birthday banquet, I specially invited friends who are similar to your age, and there is also a master photographer. Don't worry about it when the time comes." Focus on playing by yourself, talk to them more, maybe love and career can be solved at once.”
An Ruofei was stunned, and then said angrily, "Grandma! Why did you push me to others? Don't you like me? Don't you want me to enter your house?"
"I like it." Grandma pretended to be stupid, "Didn't you just enter the door? Have a meal before leaving."
Ning Zhiqian chuckled, not saving An Ruofei any face.
An Ruofei looked at grandma and then at her, she understood that the old is not as good as the new, so she put away her phone and didn't bother, "No way. Grandma, I have something else to do, let Ning Zhiqian accompany you!"
After finishing speaking, An Ruofei pursed her lips and hummed softly, turned around and left.
"Alas." An Ruofei threw a fire, but grandma was still not angry, she sighed and moved to the sofa.
Ning Zhiqian stepped forward to help grandma sit down.
Grandma didn't refuse, nor did she change her attitude, "Qianqian, she's been spoiled by others, and she'll make trouble if she doesn't like it. It's okay if you refute her, but don't do it like Yiyi, okay?"
"Okay." Ning Zhiqian finished her answer obediently, but still wanted to ask, "Why did Chu Yi beat her?"
"I don't know." Grandma said, "But they fought when they were young, and Yiyi never lost. I'm not worried at all."
Ning Zhiqian was amused, "Yes, Chu Yi won't suffer."
"What is this?" Grandma saw the little gift she had prepared.
Ning Zhiqian took it out, "This is the grapefruit sauce I made, you can drink it with water. I didn't put too much sugar, you can try the taste, if it doesn't suit you, you can adjust it."
Grandma smiled, "There's no need to try it, I'm sure I'll like it. Thank you Qianqian."
"You're welcome."
"I don't put too much sugar." Grandma looked at the grapefruit tea for a while, then touched her hand and began to chatter, "This is very suitable for Yiyi. She has a light taste since she was a child, and she doesn't like candy and biscuits like other children. I like fruits and vegetables. I thought it was a good thing at first, but then she didn’t even eat meat, and kept saying it was fishy and stinky, which made us worry..."
Ning Zhiqian listened patiently, and when grandma finished speaking, she said with relief, "If the meat is cooked well, she will still eat it. This morning, she ate beef porridge, such a big bowl, fried dough sticks and buns. "
"Really!" Grandma was surprised, "She didn't like to eat breakfast before. Oh, it's different after having a daughter-in-law."
Ning Zhiqian belatedly realized that her grandmother had all called her "Chuyi's daughter-in-law", she bowed her head embarrassingly, "Grandma, I...
At this time, grandma said again, "Does she still kick the quilt at night?"
"..." Ning Zhiqian couldn't answer, so she laughed dryly.
"The weather is getting colder and colder recently." Grandma said to herself, "Her hands and feet are cold, and she can't warm up after being under the bed for a long time. I think your hands are very hot. You want to hug her to sleep."
Ning Zhiqian didn't dare to nod or shake her head, so she could only avoid sensitive issues, "Well, I will take good care of her."
"Then I'm relieved." Grandma said, "Let's stay here for lunch."
Ning Zhiqian felt sorry when she said that, "Grandma, I have to go to work at 12 noon, so I may not be able to accompany you for dinner."
"What's the matter, I'll let them cook now." Grandma looked at the time, "I promise to send you back on time."
Seeing that the family members were already busy under the orders of grandma, Ning Zhiqian was embarrassed to say more, stroked her face with makeup and thought about how to arrange the tight time: it was impossible to go around and go home to clean up. She had to go directly to the hotel, buy makeup remover products in a nearby store, and find a bathroom to remove her makeup. As for this light-colored dress that was easy to wrinkle, she had to put it at the bottom of the storage box.
Ning Zhiqian thought in her heart, but grandma is a person who can observe, "Qianqian, is it inconvenient for you to go to work like this?"
"It's okay." Ning Zhiqian had already made up her mind, "I'll have dinner with you before leaving."
"Just tell me if it's inconvenient." Grandma has another solution, "The hotel is our home, what can't be solved?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little troublesome to remove makeup."
Grandma decided for her, picked up the phone and looked for Chu Yi's number, "I'll tell Yi Yi to get her ready."
"Need not……"
The call has been made.
"Grandma." Chu Yi answered quickly, "What's the matter?"
"Qianqian will go directly to work in the hotel later. She needs to remove her make-up and change her clothes." Grandma seemed to know a little about the kitchen, "You prepare your makeup remover, a set of clothes that are easy to change... and prepare hair ties and clips."
Ning Zhiqian didn't have the habit of interrupting people's conversations, and only dared to stop her weakly after grandma finished speaking, "Don't bother..."
"No trouble." Chuy said, "I'm outside, just passing by the mall, and I'll buy it for you when I go back."
At this point, Ning Zhiqian could only say, "Okay, thank you."
"You're being polite." I don't know if it was because grandma could hear it, but Chu Yi said very naturally, "You are my wife."
"..."
Ning Zhiqian didn't dare to speak anymore.
She had a meal with her grandma and was sent to the hotel by the driver. At 11:34, she arrived at the parking lot, and was taken up to the 28th floor by Chewie who came to pick her up. She was surprised to see that there was a lounge hidden behind the office—she had never seen a bed in the office before.
"The bathroom is here." Chuy opened a door, "Go."
There is plenty of time, but Ning Zhiqian is used to speeding up, quickly washing off her makeup, and tying up her hair to hide in the chef's hat.
dong dong.
Ning Zhiqian stretched out her hand to open the door, "What's the matter?"
Chuey pressed her shoulders and walked in, "I'll help you."
"Why..." Ning Zhiqian was worried, "Is it very late?"
"It's not too late, I want to help you." Chuy said, pinning a hairpin on her.
Ning Zhiqian saw broken light jumping at Chu Yi's fingertips, and a moment later, she heard the crisp and soft click of the hairpin buckle.Like a key to open the door, the whole picture of the hairpin appears in front of the eyes—the pearls are warm and gemstones are the eyes, the patchwork brilliance is precisely the scale to attract the attention, and the red in the white is reminiscent of the red plums in the white snow, beautiful and arrogant .
"Wow." Ning Zhiqian touched the hairpin in disbelief, "This is..."
"For you." Chu Yi lowered her head, and looked at the mirror with her closely, "Do you like it?"
Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips, what she saw was not the beautiful hairpin but Chu Yi's smile, "I like it."
"En." Chu Yi's soft voice rang in her ears, "It's so beautiful."
It's like whispering.
An ordinary compliment, after Chu Yi said it, it added a little secretive meaning.Ning Zhiqian was embarrassed to look in the mirror, lowered her head, saw the pile of useless black clips and remembered what she was doing, "I have to go to work, so it's not convenient to wear it."
"Just a little while longer." Chuey begged, the hands clasped on her shoulders slightly exerted force, as if to circle her in.
How could Ning Zhiqian say "no", she nodded, and slowly raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror.
There is also Chu Yi who is close to her side.
"When did you buy it?" Ning Zhiqian tried to focus on the hairpin.
"Just now." Chuy said, "I bought it when I thought it was suitable for you."
Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips, and took it off after thinking about it, "I can't wear it to work, it's a waste."
"No waste." Chu Yi took the box and put it away for her, "I'll wear it after get off work."
"Oh! By the way, I don't get off work until early in the morning, so you don't have to wait for me."
"Me too." Chuy said, "Let's go home together."
"No, they usually go to have a supper after get off work in the early morning. I want to go together."
Chu Yi frowned, "Going to eat supper so late?"
"They have this habit." Ning Zhiqian said the most important consideration, "I have to get on good terms with them before I can transfer shifts. After transferring shifts, I can spare a day off to buy clothes and gifts with you." .”
Chewie was finally persuaded, "Okay."
"Don't talk about it." Ning Zhiqian put away the box containing the hair clips, and fixed her hair with ordinary low-key black clips, "I'm going to work."
Chu Yi followed slowly, "Bye Qianqian."
Ning Zhiqian ran two steps away, but was hooked back by the sound.
Chuey leaned against the door, tilted her head and smiled at her.
"Hmm..." Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips, and also used a sweet nickname, "Bye Yiyi."
-
After seeing off Ning Zhiqian, Chu Yi turned on the relaxation mode, and lazily slumped down on the chair, not caring about how messy her hair was or how wrinkled her clothes were. After enough rest, Secretary Fang happened to come over and asked for the details of the contract to be discussed tomorrow. The document said for a long time with a blank face, as if chanting scriptures.
Things are not in a hurry, so Chu Yi has time to ask an irrelevant question, "I will see the client tomorrow afternoon... Should I wait for Qianqian to get off work?"
"..." Secretary Fang found that he had talked for a long time, only to let the boss notice the interview time, thinking about whether he could stay up late to flirt with girls, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Mr. Chu, you are too eager to chase."
"Hurry?" Chewy took out the notebook in the drawer within easy reach, "I didn't do anything other than learn about her favorite music, buy her favorite breakfast, and buy her favorite type of hair clips. This is called urgent?"
Secretary Fang corrected, "I did all of this."
"By the way." Chu Yi glanced sideways, "You only want to chat with Qianqian's sister."
Secretary Fang took out his mobile phone and looked at it, convincing people with evidence, "We didn't talk much. I sent 17 private messages, and she replied 16 times. I introduced her to travel places, and she told me that Ning Zhi Qian's preferences and unfamiliarity are purely a cooperative relationship of information exchange."
Chuy frowned, "Why did you answer so quickly? Have you been counting how many messages you sent?"
"Correct."
"abnormal."
"It's a job of record."
"I didn't ask you to remember this."
"Oh," Secretary Fang said expressionlessly, "I shouldn't have told you what kind of music Ning Zhiqian likes, I shouldn't have bought Ning Zhiqian's favorite beef porridge, and I shouldn't have asked Ning Zhijing to help you choose hairpins. Don't mind your own business."
Chu Yi listened and felt something was wrong, "You say it like this... I don't seem to be doing anything other than paying money."
"No, you've betrayed your hue." Secretary Fang said, "Although it's useless."
"..." Chuy patted the table, "Can you say it again?"
Secretary Fang didn't have the guts to suggest, "President Chu, I don't think you can blindly chase after Ning Zhiqian, you can try playing hard to get."
"What's the matter? As soon as I let go, she ran to the dessert."
"But you are chasing after him now, and you are also like a pervert."
"..."
Chuy hated it.
How did she find a secretary who was extremely useful but also extremely vicious?
"You...you make sense." Chu Yi knew that Secretary Fang was useful, and when she got angry, she was able to think about the truth in her words.She really clings to Ning Zhiqian, sometimes, Ning Zhiqian will be startled by her approaching, her little face turns paler with fright, and her thin shoulders tremble slightly, looking pitiful.
It's not her style to scare others away.
Secretary Fang nodded, "Slow down. She asked Assistant Lin about you yesterday."
Chu Yi's eyes lit up, "What's the matter?"
"It's about supper."
"Supper... do you want to make me a supper?"
"She's been working night shift these days, so she's not free."
Chuy thought for a moment, and found comfort for herself, "It's okay, she will have a holiday next Tuesday. Then we will go buy banquet dresses and grandma's gifts together, and we will have time to spend together."
Secretary Fang rolled his eyes plainly.
Chuy threw the pillow over, "Get out."
Secretary Fang ducked sideways, "There is one more thing. Are you going to the party tonight? Young Master Cao called several times, asking if you are really so busy."
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to a party for a long time." Chu Yi counted the days and found that after meeting Ning Zhiqian, she was so obedient. The wife is strict.
"Go!" Chu Yi felt that she couldn't be so unpromising, "I have to have fun."
The people at this party are all acquaintances, either they have played together since they were young, or they hit it off very well.Chu Yi didn't have to worry about anything, she just went straight after work, and sat there as comfortable as she wanted.
However, how did the others feel so comfortable? When they saw her appear who hadn't shown up for a long time, they immediately asked questions.
"Is there really someone who escaped marriage for you?"
"You have all met your parents, when will the wedding be held?"
"What kind of happy event are you having? Same-sex visas are not allowed in China. Hey, are you going to bring your partner to change your nationality?"
"I heard that you beat An Ruofei? That's enough. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years..."
Chu Yi was annoyed by the question, and slammed her phone on the table, "Stop asking!"
"That's right." Yu Ruozi said with a smile, "Isn't it obvious, why ask?"
The organizer, Young Master Cao, also echoed, "Yeah, yeah, in order to accompany that person, Chu Yi doesn't go out every day, and even we forget that we must do weddings, change of nationality, and first love. Be smart, don't ask Idiot question."
"Who said that?" Chu Yi was used to being held in the palm of his hand, so he couldn't hold back his face for a while, and deliberately pretended to be indifferent, "It depends on my mood."
Young Master Cao narrowed his eyes, "Is it true...do you dare to go home late today?"
"Why don't you dare." Chu Yi snorted coldly, "Of course I won't go back after having fun,"
Master Cao immediately ordered the best food and wine to make her happy.
Chu Yi was satisfied, thinking that she had saved face in front of her friends.
"Hey." Yu Ruozi saw through everything, "Have you really been playing for so long? Ning Zhiqian is at home."
"That's right." Of course Chu Yi didn't mention the fact that Ning Zhiqian worked until the early hours of the morning, and then had supper with her colleagues.
Everyone should eat and play, and there is no need to be afraid of joking.Chu Yi still went her own way, eating and drinking in a muffled voice when she didn't want to chat, and opening her mouth when she wanted to chat, which could attract everyone's attention.She felt that she had regained all the shame she had lost in front of Ning Zhiqian, and she was in a good mood. She drank two more glasses and didn't notice the blinking light on the phone she put aside.
"Chu Yi." Yu Ruozi reminded, "It seems that someone is looking for you."
Chu Yi took it slowly, and when she saw the word "Qianqian", she almost couldn't hold back her smile.
"Who is it?" Friend A asked, "Did your wife call you home?"
Friend B was surprised, "No way, it's only 12 o'clock."
"It's okay." Chu Yi suppressed the urge to answer, pretending to be casual, "I'll dismiss it, you guys play first."
The friends skipped over her and continued the rowdy game.
"Hello?" Chu Yi answered the phone.
Ning Zhiqian didn't speak for a moment.
"Hello?" Chu Yi said again, "Qianqian?"
Ning Zhiqian responded, "Hey, are you busy?"
Chu Yi heard that Ning Zhiqian's voice was very low, and she felt a twinge in her heart, "No, tell me."
"I..." Ning Zhiqian hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, I'm worried that you're waiting, so I'll call and ask. It's fine if you don't wait, I'll continue working, you have fun, bye."
Ning Zhiqian finished speaking in one breath and hung up the phone.
Chu Yi was stunned, and said a belated "goodbye."
"Yiyi, are you done? It's your turn." My friend reminded me.
Chu Yi glanced at the "received" message from the driver, and put away the phone.She was determined not to think about it, but Ning Zhiqian's weak voice lingered, making her absent-minded.She rolled the dice at will, and unfortunately she was punished with a glass of wine. Without hesitation, she took the glass and drank it directly, and then stood up with a burst of momentum.
"Stop playing, go home."
"..." The friend was stunned, "Are you angry? In fact, it's okay not to punish."
Chuy shook her head and quickly took her things.
"I'm going home to find my wife."
-
Ning Zhiqian has been out of form today.
After changing clothes, I stroked the hairpin box and laughed for a long time. I almost missed the time, and the whipping cream was accidentally splashed. I wiped my face, and unconsciously touched the hair that had worn the hairpin. When kneading the dough, my head was empty. I can still think of Chu Yi's smile in a few seconds.
No matter what she was doing, no matter how noisy she was, her mind would always find a way to bypass everything in front of her eyes and drift to Chu Yi.
"Ah." Ning Zhiqian sighed softly, and worked harder, trying to concentrate.
"Ning." Joe called her, "Come here, Li will take over."
Xiao Li, another colleague who was summoned, could only nod, and pack up the work at hand to deal with the aftermath for her.
Ning Zhiqian was taken aback.
She was found in a daze?Qiao is not even willing to let her do this kind of basic work?
Ning Zhiqian came to the hotel as an assistant, but because of her lack of experience, she didn't even try the special desserts of Hotel C, and she didn't taste all the tastes. Therefore, she couldn't help Qiao supervise the completion of other pastries, and she didn't The ability to prepare special dessert ingredients can only be a small follower. Qiao follows Qiao when he is free, and Li Xiao follows Li Xiao when he is free. The rest of the time is no different from ordinary employees in the kitchen.
"Chef." Ning Zhiqian followed Joe to another kitchen, looked around and asked carefully, "Did I do something wrong?"
Instead, Joe was stopped by her question, "No, why do you say that?"
"What's the matter?"
Joe walked to the workbench and motioned her to look at the blueprints on display, "We're going to design a cake for Grandma Chuy."
Ning Zhiqian turned from worry to joy, "Is that so... what should I do?"
"Think with me." Joe said, "There are other desserts for the birthday banquet, and the cake will be eaten by fewer people, so don't make it too big."
Ning Zhiqian nodded, watching Qiao draw the prototype of a two-layer cake.
"What shape do you think is good?"
"Hmm... Grandma is a more traditional person." Ning Zhiqian recalled everything she saw at Chu's house, "It's better to be round."
Joe agrees, "Yes."
Shape, number of layers, and size are small issues, but cake style, materials used, and taste of the interlayer are particularly important.Even if there are few people eating the cake, Joe is not willing to deal with it casually. He thinks seriously, mainly considering grandma's taste.At this time, Ning Zhiqian realized that it was very useful to go to the Chu family's mansion this morning and have a meal with grandma. After seeing the decoration style of the mansion clearly, and finding out the taste in the process of chatting with grandma, she was able to tell Qiao One said.
Jo took note of her words carefully.
Ning Zhiqian gradually gained a little confidence: she was afraid that she would not be able to speak a word and could not help.
"Design the exterior first," said Joe. "What does Grandma like?"
Ning Zhiqian suddenly thought of grandma's favorite tea set, "Grandma likes longevity flowers, and there is a set of tea sets that she likes so much that she can't bear to use them. Take a look."
She couldn't describe it, so she took out the photo and showed it to Joe.Grandma usually hides the tea set and shows it off when Ning Zhiqian comes. Qiao has never seen it before, and she is attracted by the classical and graceful patterns. Seeing the photo of her and grandma, I asked sincerely, "Are you married to Chu Yi?"
"..."
Chewie again.
Ning Zhiqian found that if she didn't think about it, others would lead the topic to Chu Yi.
She didn't answer, and Joe wouldn't ask questions. After seeing the pattern clearly, he wanted to try to make a dessert version.
Ning Zhiqian followed suit.
Then, the difference between the master and the rookie came out completely.Qiao has already made a flower, Ning Zhiqian is still struggling with the stamens, Qiao wants to make a hollow flower stand, Ning Zhiqian stares at the design drawing for a long time, but can't even think of how to do it.She still has too little experience, and most of the time she follows the recipes, and she will not know how to start with the cakes that require self-expression.
"It's okay." Qiao took over most of the work without relying on his own thoughts and experience, and gave her time, "Think about it, let's talk about it in three days?"
Ning Zhiqian could only nod her head.
She was back in the kitchen, doing the basics with the others.Maybe it was a blow. At this moment, she misses her sister who encouraged her to study abroad. When she wanted to contact her during dinner, she remembered that her sister didn't bring her mobile phone.
"Hey, let's take a look at the cake."
Ning Zhiqian felt that what she lacked was the thinking of learning and applying, so she didn't read the school's strict notes, but ran to see the bakers she was paying attention to.With the development of the Internet, many cake makers are willing to show their works. She followed a few of them, and was shocked by the unrestrained imagination and superb skills enough to reproduce fantasy every time.
She looked around and noticed something strange.
My sister’s big account on Weibo remains silent, but the small account keeps updating.
Worries quietly arose in Ning Zhiqian's heart, and she faintly had a terrible thought but didn't dare to think about it.She didn't have time to think about it, it was time-consuming to browse Weibo, and the dinner time arranged by the hotel for them was tight, and it was time to go to work in a while.
She has been in a trance, thinking about miscellaneous things, for a while it is Chu Yi, for a while it is grandma's birthday cake, and for a while it is the weird behavior of her sister Ri Gengxiao.
In a trance, Ning Zhiqian inevitably made some mistakes, Qiao couldn't stand it any longer, and when she saw the time was late, she said, "Ning, you go back and think about the cake."
"Okay." Ning Zhiqian stopped making trouble.
After she got off work, she found the car to take her home, and when she got in the car, she said thank you to the driver and Assistant Lin.The driver talked less, shook his head and said he was fine and concentrated on driving. Assistant Lin was younger and had a different style from the expressionless and efficient Secretary Fang. When he handed her hot milk, he liked to babble, "It's nothing, I've had later overtime than this one before."
"Really?" Ning Zhiqian thought that Assistant Lin was following Secretary Fang, that is to say, Chu Yi, and felt nervous, "Chu Yi is working so late?"
Assistant Lin shook his head, "No, Chu always goes to night..."
The driver coughed.
"Ye... Supper." Assistant Lin changed his words, "President Chu couldn't sleep once and wanted to eat barbecue. Secretary Fang happened to be unwell, so he sent me here."
Ning Zhiqian forced out a smile, "I see."
She guessed why Assistant Lin suddenly changed his tune.
Chewie only went to the nightclub so late.
Ning Zhiqian felt her heart sank a bit, sat quietly and stopped talking.When she got to the door of the house, she got out of the car, and unexpectedly saw the aunt who came to greet her at the door of the garage, "Auntie, are you still up?"
"Oh." Auntie was also surprised when she saw it, "I thought it was Mr. Chu."
"She hasn't come back yet?" Ning Zhiqian looked at the time at 12:23.
Auntie nodded, "Every time she goes..."
"It's so late for supper." Assistant Lin snatched the words and smiled at her, "Go to bed first, don't wait for her."
Ning Zhiqian laughed along, feeling puzzled.
Do these people think they don't know that nightclubs exist?
Ning Zhiqian went upstairs to wash up, and felt better after changing into her pajamas.She started looking at her phone again, and the more she looked at the photo of her sister and her husband, the more awkward she became. She always felt that her sister's smile was too forced.She inexplicably had the idea that "this trip is a conspiracy", her thoughts were confused, and after much deliberation, she still called Chu Yi.
Chewie connects, and the background is noisy with cheers.
Ning Zhiqian said she was fine, hung up the phone, turned over and forced herself to sleep.
She didn't expect Chewie to come back.
"Qianqian?" Chu Yi knocked on the door, her voice was soft, "Are you asleep?"
Ning Zhiqian got up awkwardly, stepped on the ground with her bare feet to open the door, "No."
"Put on your shoes first, then put on your clothes." Chuy worried for her, "Come on."
After hearing what Ning Zhiqian said, she gradually smelled the smell of alcohol on Chu Yi's body, and asked with concern, "Are you drunk?"
"No." Chu Yi seemed to dislike the smell on her body, "I'm going to change clothes."
Ning Zhiqian shook her head, "You should take a shower first."
Chu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again, "I came here to see you after taking a shower?"
Ning Zhiqian hoped to discuss her sister's affairs, so she nodded without thinking, "Well, I'll wait for you."
-
Chewie thought it was worth the trip to come back.
She entered Ning Zhiqian's room, and Ning Zhiqian hoped that she would come back after taking a bath.
Although she understood that she didn't mean it that way, but the night was dark and windy, surrounded by walls, the little bed was well prepared there, she couldn't let this opportunity go to waste, even if it wasn't worth it, a hug would do.She took a shower, put on an easy-to-take-off nightgown, brushed her long hair in the shawl, put on a layer of lip balm that tasted sweet and looked seductive, sprinkled on perfume, and then walked towards Ning Zhiqian's room.
"Here we come." Ning Zhiqian opened the door, still wearing that cute white nightdress.
"Yeah." Chuy walked in and glanced at the room.
Um?Turn on the computer?
"Chu Yi, come and take a look." Ning Zhiqian greeted her, "My sister seems to have a problem."
"..." Chu Yi sighed secretly, and stepped forward resignedly.
"Look. This is Weibo posted by my sister."
Chu Yi looked at the screen, and was no stranger to the photos on it—Secretary Fang took out these photos when she was investigating, and she could see the forced smile of Ning Zhiqian's sister just by looking at them.
She didn't pierce, and asked Ning Zhiqian softly, "What do you think is strange?"
"This is my sister's trumpet, and all the photos posted are group photos. There is no landscape picture or single photo. It is not my sister's usual update style at all."
When Chu Yi heard the trumpet, she knew it in her heart.
Secretary Fang didn't mention this.
"I switched to my sister's Weibo account, but there was nothing there." Ning Zhiqian continued, "Nor are there on other platforms. She doesn't record her life at all, she just uses her account as a show."
Speaking of this, Ning Zhiqian lowered her head in frustration, and muttered, "I actually thought my sister and brother-in-law were having fun."
"Have you contacted your sister yet?"
"I dare not. I am afraid that I will cause trouble for my sister...Since she contacted me, she has posted more frequently on Weibo, and the poses for group photos have become more and more intimate. My sister is relatively shy and doesn't like to hug in front of others Hugging."
"Then..." Chu Yi thought for a moment and asked a key question, "Who knows your sister's trumpet?"
"I don't know, but she once asked me to leave a message below."
"Does your brother-in-law know?"
"Yes." Ning Zhiqian answered in the affirmative this time, and took out her phone, "I also checked my brother-in-law's circle of friends."
Chu Yi browsed and found that Ning Zhiqian's brother-in-law's circle of friends is completely a collection of "see how rich I am" and "see how happy my family is". , all kinds of disgusting, the theme is all: I love my wife.
In contrast, although sister Ning Zhiqian's trumpet is updated every day, sometimes one, sometimes five or six, there is no rule. The photos sent out are long and have no text, and occasionally love
