The old master of the Lu family was dead.
It was said that he accidentally fell from upstairs and broke his neck.
Jiang Rui took Bear to the funeral. Lu Tao was kneeling in the mourning hall, and his second and third uncles were pointing at him and scolding him.
"If you didn't make dad angry, how could he fall from the stairs? You pissed your grandfather off. The Lu family doesn't have such an unfilial son. "
Lu Tao was about to explain, but he suddenly saw Jiang Rui, so he quickly stood up. "Officer Jiang, you are here."
The second and third sons of the Lu family immediately blamed Jiang Rui. "Who asked you to come here? My father can't afford your incense."
Their two sons' deaths were related to Jiang Rui. Although there was no evidence, they had already blamed Jiang Rui for it.
"We don't represent ourselves." Bear glanced at them and handed the incense to Jiang Rui.
The Lu brothers didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that they represented the military. It was an honor for the Lu family. Even if they hated it, they had to accept it politely.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Jiang Rui said and then turned to leave.
The Lu brothers still wanted to say something, but Lu Tao whispered, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, if you want to take revenge, just listen to me."
Bear drove Jiang Rui away.
"Master, what do you think …"
Jiang Rui was looking at the billboard on the roadside, on which there was an advertisement for a diamond ring. He suddenly remembered that he had never put a ring on Chen Chen's finger, not even proposing to her.
Bear didn't know that he had been distracted and was still nagging. "In my opinion, no matter whether Lu Tao has anything to do with Old Master Lu's death, he will benefit the most this time. He is the only one in the third generation of the Lu family. Even if the second brother wants to seize the family property, the shareholders will probably stand on Lu Tao's side. "
He had been talking for a long time, but Jiang Rui was still looking out of the window. "Master?"
"I heard it." Jiang Rui withdrew his gaze. "Lu Tao is so greedy that he won't keep his two uncles in the company. Then he will find a way to drive them away, or … kill them directly. "
Bear said angrily, "That guy has killed several people."
"Yes!" Jiang Rui smiled. "So, we can't let him kill anymore."
When Chen Chen knew it, she said "ah". Then she lowered her head and continued to think, with a complicated expression.
Zi glanced at her. "What's wrong? Didn't your War God Jiang feed you well recently? "
"You don't know!" Chen Chen said mysteriously, "Brother Xiao Rui has been very strange these days. He keeps staring at me inexplicably. When I look at him, he will look away."
"Are you being overly sensitive because your period is here?"
Chen Chen said seriously, "I'm not being sensitive. It's true."
Zi stared at her. "From a psychological point of view, a man's behavior usually means that he has done something wrong to the woman."
"What is it..." Chen Chen asked stupidly.
"Cheating!" Ah Zi rolled her eyes at her. "Because he had an unspeakable relationship with another woman and felt sorry for his girlfriend. They don't know how to deal with the triangular relationship, so they often do that. "
Chen Chen blinked. "Do you mean that Brother Xiao Rui has another woman?"
"Are you stupid? What else could I have been talking about?" Ah Zi poked her forehead.
"It's impossible!" Chen Chen pushed her hand away. "Brother Xiao Rui said that he loved me!" Chen Chen blushed and giggled. "He wouldn't lie."
Zi nodded. "That's right. The War God Jiang is not that kind of person. Then don't think too much. Maybe there are some problems in the army recently and you can't help much. Just stay alive! "
"You're so annoying." Chen Chen glared at her. "I'm going back."
Zi stopped her. "Don't you wait for your War God to pick you up?"
"No, no!" Chen Chen waved her hand and ran out of the store.
She didn't go home directly, but took a taxi to a supermarket.
"Since Brother Xiao Rui is in a bad mood, I'll cook for him!" Chen Chen murmured. "He has always cooked for me. Last time, I learned two dishes from my mother. This time, I'll give him a surprise."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing. Then, he unintentionally glanced across the road and was stunned.
Jiang Rui went to the store to pick her up. Zi told him that Chen Chen had left. He drove home quickly and bought the ice cream cake that the little woman liked on the way. As soon as he got home, he saw Tuan Zi lying on the dining table.
"Dad!" Tuan Zi turned around and saw Jiang Rui. She ran over. "Mom cooked today!"
Jiang Rui looked into the kitchen in surprise and saw Chen Chen coming out with a bowl of soup. He hurried to take it over. "Who asked you to cook? What if you get scalded? "
"I'm not a kid. I won't get scalded so easily." Chen Chen smiled. "I learned it from my mother during the Spring Festival. Go wash your hands and change your clothes. Then try my cooking!"
Jiang Rui looked at her gently and touched Chen Chen's face. "Okay. The food cooked by my Liuliu must be delicious!"
Tuan Zi saw her father enter the room in a hurry and whispered, "Mom, did you kill the salt seller?"
"Ah? What? "Chen Chen sat at the table.
"It's so salty." Tuan Zi pointed at a plate of ribs.
Chen Chen picked up the chopsticks. "It's impossible. I made sweet and sour ribs!"
"Bah!" She spat out the ribs in her mouth. "Ah, it's so salty."
Tuan Zi handed her a glass of water. "Mom, you must have mistaken the salt for sugar."
"Throw it away!" She didn't have time to drink the water and ran to the kitchen with the ribs.
"Liuliu?" Unfortunately, Jiang Rui had already walked over. "Where are you going with the dish?"
Tuan Zi was about to speak when Chen Chen stared at her. "I think … I don't think it's good to eat meat at night."
Hehe, his little woman had grown up. She already knew how to lie for him. Jiang Rui took over the ribs with relief. "Don't worry. We can eat less. Come on!"
Chen Chen had to sit down reluctantly. Seeing Jiang Rui put the ribs into his mouth, she was very nervous. But she heard the man say, "It's so delicious. Our Liuliu is very talented in cooking!"
"Is … is it delicious?" Chen Chen looked at him unbelievably. "Brother Xiao Rui, don't … don't you think it's salty?"
Jiang Rui shook his head and ate another piece. "I have a strong appetite. It's not salty!"
Chen Chen looked at Jiang Rui for a long time. Jiang Rui seemed to be fine, so she was relieved. She didn't see Tuan Zi rolling her eyes.
"Mom is the easiest to fool. Dad is obviously coaxing you …"
"Well … Brother Xiao Rui …" Chen Chen saw Jiang Rui eat up the two bowls of rice quickly. Thinking of what happened this afternoon, she called him.
Jiang Rui was spitting out the stones in the soup secretly. "Hmm? What's wrong? "
"Are you busy with work this afternoon?" She stared at Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui put down the bowl calmly. "I've been in a meeting. I'm quite busy these days."
Splash! The soup in Chen Chen's hand spilled onto the table.
"Are you scalded?" Jiang Rui quickly pulled her into his arms. "Tuan Zi, go get the ointment."
"… No, I'm not scalded." Chen Chen whispered.
Jiang Rui panicked. "Is it very painful? Tuan Zi, hurry up! "
There was a red patch on the back of Chen Chen's hand. Tuan Zi saw Jiang Rui applying the ointment. "Mom, let me blow on it. It won't hurt."
"It doesn't hurt." Chen Chen shook her head.
"You're crying. It must be very painful." Tuan Zi handed her a napkin.
Chen Chen wiped her face. She didn't know that she was crying, but her heart was aching.
In the afternoon, she saw Jiang Rui and Zhou Yiyun sitting in a coffee shop. Although Zhou Yiyun was wearing sunglasses, Chen Chen recognized her at a glance.
"You went on a date with her, but you said you were in a meeting …"
"I'm fine." Chen Chen stood up. "I'm so tired from cooking. I want to sleep."
Jiang Rui saw that she didn't look well and thought she was really tired. He felt sorry for her and walked her into the room in person. Then he helped her wash her face and covered her with the quilt.
"I'm going to clean up. I'll come in and keep you company later!" Jiang Rui kissed her, turned off the light and went out.
Tuan Zi was still sitting in the living room. Seeing him come out, she hurriedly said, "Dad, mom seems to be very sad. Her mood is gray."
"Sad?" Jiang Rui was shocked. How could it be? He had eaten all the dishes …
He glanced at his daughter who was eating the cake. "Tuan Zi, did you say mom's cooking was not good?"
"Well …" Tuan Zi shrank her neck guiltily. "I thought mom didn't care. I'll apologize to her tomorrow!"
Jiang Rui patted her head. "Good girl. That's right. It's your mom's first time cooking. We should encourage her. "
Seeing Jiang Rui drinking water from the cup, Tuan Zi said with a smile, "Dad, are you dying of saltiness?"
"Don't say that!" Jiang Rui flicked her forehead. "Go take a shower."
When he finished cleaning up and went back to the room, he found that Chen Chen had fallen asleep. Her eyes were still red as if she had cried.
Jiang Rui frowned, got into the quilt, held her in his arms, and went to sleep with her in his arms.
Chen Chen was dreaming the whole night. At first, she didn't know people. There was a lot of red liquid flowing everywhere, and there were children crying. Then Jiang Rui took her to walk on a very dark road. Suddenly, they disappeared, and she was alone.
She ran, shouted, and cried out Jiang Rui's name, but no one answered her. There was a light in the distance. She ran towards the light desperately, and then saw Jiang Rui holding a woman and smiling at her.
"No!" Chen Chen suddenly sat up.
She was alone in the bed. She stumbled to wash her face and came to the living room. There was no one at home, and there was a note left by Jiang Rui on the table.
"Liuliu, breakfast is in the thermos in the kitchen. Call me when you wake up."
Chen Chen threw the note on the ground and looked at her phone with her mouth pouted.
After a while, she sighed and was about to call Jiang Rui when her phone rang. She glanced at it and found it was a strange number.
"Hello."
The voice of the other side was also strange. It was a hoarse male voice.
"Is this Mrs. Jiang?"
"May I ask who you are?" Chen Chen felt that the voice sounded strange.
The man laughed. "It doesn't matter who I am. Go to the Fenghua Café on Binhai Road right now. You'll see something interesting there!"
"Why should I listen to you?" Chen Chen suddenly panicked and instinctively wanted to throw the phone away.
The man on the other side of the phone shouted, "You'll regret it if you don't go!"
