In the media, Lu Chaoge was aloof and elegant, just like a goddess in the clouds. While people worshipped her, it also created a sense of unreachable distance.
In Jiang Shangxin's eyes, Lu Chaoge was smart, sharp, and cold. She was good at forbearance. Some people described Jiang Zhuliu's father as a 'scalper and a dog'. However, Jiang Shangxin felt that Lu Chaoge's scheming ability and ability to hide her emotions were not inferior to Kiang Long Tan's. When she was still a child, she already knew how to deal with the murderer who killed her parents and won, and finally avenge her parents. How much willpower did it take?
There was an old saying that went, 'Kings don't meet kings'. Because of some reason, Jiang Shangxin would more or less see Lu Chaoge as her competitor.
However, when she saw Lu Chaoge come out to greet the guests in such a simple home attire, Jiang Shangxin suddenly realized that she might never be able to catch up with Lu Chaoge's footsteps.
Some people did it as if it were heavy, while others did it as if it were light.
Perhaps, in her heart, she had never seen herself as a competitor?
It was a fortunate and sad thing!
"I'm sorry to disturb you so abruptly —" Jiang Shangxin looked at Lu Chaoge and said apologetically.
Lu Chaoge smiled, and it was like a spring breeze blowing on her face.
Jiang Shangxin dared to swear that no media could capture such a smile from Lu Chaoge in the past.
Because Jiang Shangxin had studied Lu Chaoge's appearance records, she had never smiled before —
At this moment, Lu Chaoge was blissful, and that kind of bliss was emitted from the inside out. It was like a woman who couldn't help but smile foolishly after falling in love, and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
Lu Zhaoge took the initiative to stretch out his beautiful palm toward Shangxin and said in a gentle voice, "I was supposed to be the one to visit you, but I've been too busy recently. I'm very happy that you're here as a guest."
Jiang Shangxin sighed to herself. This woman was indeed a formidable person.
When he was in trouble, he came to seek shelter, and even until now, he was still living in the underground research institute under her name. She didn't mention or ask about it when she saw him, as if she didn't know about it at all.
Needless to say, that was the most embarrassing period of time for Shangxin. A spike in her bone, a scar on her face.
If it weren't for Fang Yan who pulled down the plane to Paris in time, the news of her accident would have spread to China.
Lu Chaoge's way of handling things made her feel very comfortable, and she felt that she was respected.
Why did best friends end up fighting each other to the death?
Because he asked too many questions!
Jiang Shangxin held Lu Zhaoge's hand tightly and said, "I saw an interview about you in the 'World Finance and Economics' two years ago. You said that you like to study recipes during your free time at work and cook a delicious meal for yourself. I wonder if I will have the fortune to do so?"
Lu Chaoge made an inviting gesture and gestured for Jiang Shangxin to follow him into the house. She said, "When you participated in the 'Midnight Storm' interview, you said that your ideal life is to be a full-time wife who takes care of your husband and children. I guess your culinary skills are pretty good, right?"
"How about we each cook two signature dishes?"
"Isn't there still soup?"
Jiang Shangxin looked at Fang Yan, who was standing by the window on the second floor, and said, "Mr. Fang should be able to make soup, right?"
"No problem." Lu Chaoge said. "The fish soup that Mr. Fang makes is superb, you should try it. It's definitely not to be missed. "
Jiang Shangxin's face was full of smiles and she said, "In that case, I can have a good meal today."
Fang Yan did not know that he had fallen into the trap of the two women. At this time, he was standing on the balcony and calling his grandfather, Fang Huwei.
"Don't always play with the bird. How old are you? Why are you always fighting with a parrot? "Fang Yan comforted him. Fang Yan talked to his mother on the phone, and Lu Wan said that his grandfather was in a bad mood these days. The King Kong eagle that he had raised for three to four years suddenly ignored him. In the past, the man and the bird would have quarreled with each other every day. The King Kong eagle suddenly stopped talking, which made Fang Huwei very anxious. He kept provoking it, wanting to hear it fight back as usual. However, the King Kong eagle seemed to have lost its voice. No matter what Fang Huwei said or did, it just stared at him blankly without saying a word.
Later, Old Master Fang Huwei seemed to understand something, and he stopped talking. The man and the bird stared at each other for a long time.
This made Lu Wan very anxious, so she called Fang Yan to persuade Fang Huwei.
"So what if I'm old? Old people are not allowed to play with birds? Which family's rule is this? If I don't play with birds, what should I do? I want to hunt bears in the mountains and catch turtles in the sea, but I need him to listen to me. If he doesn't listen to me, where can I go? I can only play with the old bird to kill time. "
Fang Yan felt bad and said guiltily, "Grandpa, why don't I go back and bring you to Huacheng? Didn't you say that? When you were young, you were invincible in Huacheng. Now that you are back in the old place, maybe you can recall your past glory? Is that alright? I will book a ticket back to Yan Jing tomorrow. "
"Go, go, go. I am living well in Swallow Dock, why would I go to Huacheng? Let me tell you, I am not going anywhere, you don't have to think about it. "Fang Huwei refused firmly.
"Then I will go back and stay with you for a few days?" Fang Yan said with a smile. "I also want to eat my mom's pork stewed with vermicelli."
Fang Huwei sighed and said, "Fang Yan, don't bother. I know what you are thinking, and I understand your filial piety. But Huacheng is full of things now, you can't leave, and you can't leave. Are you worried that I will become demented like that old bird? Or are you worried that I will leave with it one day? "
"Grandpa —" Fang Yan said in a sorrowful voice. His father passed away, Mo Qingdi went missing, and the two closest men to his grandpa left. His father was his grandpa's son, and Mo Qingdi was also his grandpa's son.
Although he had never said anything in the past few years, and would never confide in anyone, his heart was just too bitter.
He was such a proud man, how could he bear such a blow?
In the three years that Fang Yan suffered, Grandpa Fang's body became weaker and weaker. No one knew when the oil lamp would burn out. Even a gust of wind could blow him out.
"Birth, old age, sickness, and death are human nature. Who can defy the Heavens?" Fang Huwei said gently. His words carried the bleakness of the autumn wind and the falling leaves. "I don't know how much merit we have to cultivate for the Heavens to let us come to this world. Originally, it should have been you going your own way and I going mine, but because we had unresolved grievances in our previous lives, I became your grandfather, and you became my grandson — — I, Fang Huwei, have never let down the heavens, and never bow down to anyone. I have trained hard and lived my life seriously. My life has come to an end, and I have lived my life to the end. But your life has just begun. You haven't lived a single Chou Maoyin yet. You have to continue working hard and don't waste your time on an old man like me. It is too precious. We can't afford to waste it. "
"Grandpa, is there anything more important than spending time with you?" Fang Yan endured the pain in his heart and said with a smile, "There are shortcuts when it comes to being a person or doing things. For example, if I want to practice martial arts, I have to find a good master. You and the old drunkard are good masters. They can teach me quickly and help me improve faster than my peers. It is the same with being a person. If I want to live a single Chou Maoyin, I will stay by your side and listen to you tell me about the ups and downs of life. I like the stories you tell me, and they contain profound philosophy. After listening to you for 30 to 50 years, maybe I will become the smartest person in the world. "
Fang Huwei was amused by Fang Yan's words. He laughed and scolded, "Bullsh * t. How many stories do I have to tell you for 30 to 50 years? At that time, I will be more than 100 years old, and you will be 70 or 80 years old. A 100 year old monster telling a 70 or 80 year old man how to be a person? If someone saw this scene, they would have a heart attack. "
Hearing his grandpa's hearty laughter, Fang Yan felt a little better. He said, "If someone saw this scene, they would definitely think of us as immortals. I am an old immortal, and you are an old, old immortal. I will give you two roasted chickens and a pot of plum wine. We can even have a drink. "
"You're just making things up, kid." Fang Huwei said with a smile. After a pause, Old Master Fang said in a deep voice, "I went to see Master two days ago. I will go to Master and ask for justice for you. "
"What did Master say?" Fang Yan's heart sank as he asked aloud.
Bai Xiu was Master's student. Bai Xiu and Jiang Junling had planned that fatal trap, but in the end, Fang Yan had counterattacked and stabbed Bai Xiu to death.
Did Master know what Bai Xiu had done?
What would Master think about Bai Xiu's death?
Fang Yan had to consider these questions, and he had to think of the worst.
"Master said …" Old Master Fang Huwei's voice was low and powerful. He said, "He should give you an explanation for this matter. He asked you to come back when you have time. You should come back too. That child Wen Nuan seems to be advancing again. If you don't work harder, you will fall behind her again. You will be bullied by women for the rest of your life. "
"I understand." Fang Yan said with a smile. When Fang Yingying and Fang Haohan came to Huacheng, they had said that Ye Wen Nuan had gone into seclusion again. During this time, Fang Yan had been unable to contact her. Every breakthrough was a rebirth. It was full of hope, but also unknown danger. Fang Yan wanted to go back and face it with her. "I will go back as soon as possible."
