Chapter 14: Forced Slaughter



Wen Runruan adjusted the air conditioner in the room to 16 degrees. Half an hour had passed, and the cold air was still coming in. The room was extremely cold, and Wen Runruan sat on the bed in a daze.

Compared to Xie Jinzhi's strong obsession with looks, Wen Runruan's is not that strong, but in this era, everyone looks at faces. The moment she lay on Xie Jinzhi, Wen Runruan could clearly see the visible fuzz on Xie Jinzhi's face where the light hit it.

Her peach blossom eyes were filled with tension and helplessness, and the mole on the tip of her nose looked pure and less charming under the light. Wen Runruan did not miss the panic that flashed across Xie Jinzhi's eyes.

When Wen Runruan reacted, she found her hand on Xie Jinzhi's chest. She suddenly felt the heat spreading rapidly from her face to the tips of her ears.

Ignoring the pain in her ankle, Wen Ruan got up and went out, where she met Qian Duo and was teased by him.

However, Wen Ruanruan was not angry at all about Qian Duo's teasing. Instead, she felt shy and helpless. She lay on the bed in the hotel, burying her head in the quilt and screaming. Fortunately, she was staying in a luxurious suite on the top floor at her own expense, so no one could hear her screams.

Just when Wen Runruan was ready to eat, the front desk brought her lunch.

She looked at the dishes on the waiter's cart and asked, "Who sent this?"

"Miss Wen, Mr. Qian sent it to you." The waiter said with a smile.

Although she didn't know why Qian Duo brought her food, it was quite embarrassing to let the waiter stand there. She only took a closer look after the waiter put the food down.

They were all state banquet-level dishes, including boiled cabbage, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, three-treasure duck, and red flower shark fin rice...

Wen Runruan was stunned by the lunch. Qian Duo was so generous. It was obvious that this was Xiaozhu's dish. She decided to ask what was going on first.

Wen Runruan had already added Qian Duo on WeChat before, and found his profile picture.

Assistant Qian, why are you bringing me lunch? And from Xiaozhu?

"Ding Dong" Qian Duo, who was feeling grief-stricken for the money he had spent, suddenly saw the message on his phone. He then glanced at Xie Jinzhi who was staring at him and replied tremblingly.

[To nourish you, I thought you might like it, so I ordered some food from Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu's food is not expensive, so feel free to eat it!]

The other party deleted and revised it for a long time, and it kept showing "The other party is typing..." at the top of the message. Finally, it was sent.

Seeing that it was really a gift from Qian Duo and the other party said it was not expensive, Wen Runruan suddenly remembered the squirrel mandarin fish that Wen Zhixing took her to eat at the cottage. She remembered that it cost 20,000 yuan per person, and Wen Zhixing paid for it without blinking an eye.

Although I know that the Wen family is the richest, is a 20,000 yuan meal really not a luxury? Wen Ruanruan still remembers the shock when the waiter reported 45,000 yuan when paying the bill. 20,000 yuan per person is really scary.

I remembered that the book said that Qian Duo and Xie Jinzhi both came from well-off families. The Qian family and the Shu family had always had a good relationship. The Qian family's status in the upper class was not low either. His family was a leader in the real estate industry.

However, she remembered that Qian Duo's monthly living expenses were 500,000 yuan, and she remembered that Xie Jinzhi also attended this meal, so for the three of them, the total cost was 60,000 yuan.

sky……

He is really a rich man. I’m afraid Qian Duo will have to borrow money to make it through the end of the month to afford the 500,000 yuan. It’s unbearable to eat like this every day.

[Is this Xiaozhu's dish? Assistant Qian, this isn't cheap.]

[It’s okay, I have plenty of money]

After typing these words against his will, Qian Duo lay down on the table sadly. Xie Jinzhi sat opposite him steadily, as if he could not see Qian Duo's pain, and slowly poured the tea from the teacup into his own cup.

For a moment, there was no sound at all, except for the sound of running water near the dining table and the music of a guqin being played behind a curtain not far away.

"The food is served." Xie Jinzhi watched a group of waiters dressed in Song Dynasty costumes walk in, and kicked Qian Duo's leg under the table to signal him to look up and make room.

Qian Duo sat up dissatisfied, as if he had turned his grief and anger into appetite. He picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up the dishes. Compared with his rudeness, Xie Xie Jinzhi gave people the feeling that was very consistent with the atmosphere of the cottage.

He also sat up straight when eating, and all this was attributed to Shu Yuan. Xie Jin knew her mother's teachings. The most praised thing about Shu Yuan was his temperament. The Shu family's teachings always required their descendants to be humble.

The phone rang again. Xie Jinzhi looked up at Qian Duo. Qian Duo skillfully handed the phone to Xie Jinzhi and took a look at it. "Take it."

Originally, he thought Xie Jinzhi would definitely not let him accept it, but at this moment, just three words were enough to make Qian Duo happy.

He happily opened the red envelope and accepted it, then looked at the number.

"They didn't make a fuss about it, Qian Duo. Ask yourself if you feel guilty accepting it." Xie Jinzhi picked up the mandarin fish and put it in his bowl. "It's up to you how to return the money. I asked you to accept it out of courtesy."

Qian Duo felt embarrassed by these words and said angrily, "I know. Since I agreed to treat you, I won't ask for money. I will find a way to get the money back."

Seeing that Qian Duo had accepted the money, Wen Runruan no longer felt like she owed anyone and started to eat her meal with peace of mind. The dishes at Xiaozhu have always been at the level of a state banquet. The preparation of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall alone takes three days, and the squirrel mandarin fish is made of fresh ingredients and is handled very well, bringing out the deliciousness of the fish to the greatest extent.

Looking at the food on the table, Wen Runruan couldn't finish it, so she took another photo and sent it to the cast group. There was no director in the group, just four people: one male, two males, and one female, two females.

[@Everyone, have you had lunch yet? I'll eat in my room!]

Song Song and Li Yi had just come out of the restaurant when they saw the message.

Li Yi replied: [I’m not eating anymore. I just came out of the restaurant. I won’t eat any earlier.]
