"Zhu Jin, you little bitch!" Lian Huier looked at herself in the mirror and finally couldn't help cursing, blurting out the words a woman would use to curse her.
If the first person who slapped her was an accident, then the second one was definitely not. Lian Huier didn't expect to be retaliated so quickly. Feeling very aggrieved, Lian Huier called the police and her father for help. The final investigation results were not ideal. There was no surveillance equipment in the toilet. The "reasons" for the two people being investigated to beat her were extremely sufficient and it was completely an accident.
Things did not go smoothly, and there were continuous accidents in the following period. Lian Huier, who was protected by the media and bodyguards sent by Lian Chengze, felt her scalp tingling as she watched the accidents happening one after another in front of her. She thought Zhu Jin was cruel enough, but she had no idea that it was Chonglou's work.
After seeing Lian Huier's face, Chonglou raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, "It's not good to be too impatient, today is enough, we can play again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."
Using such petty tricks, Lian Chengze is far from being a match for Chonglou.
After get off work, Zhu Jin saw the photo of Chonglou showing her the treasure. She smiled helplessly and was escorted home by the police. After getting off the car, she unexpectedly saw Shi Wei sitting against the gate waiting for her. Shi Wei, who was still in school uniform, stood up and ran over when he saw her. "Auntie, I saw on the news that you were beaten. Is it true?"
With a tense face, she asked Zhu Jin seriously, not forgetting to look up and down to see where Zhu Jin was hit.
"It's true, but Auntie wasn't hit, you don't have to worry." Zhu Jin stared at him for a moment, then touched his head, "Are you waiting for Auntie? Are you hungry?"
He was the first boy she had really come into contact with in this era. He was already twelve years old, but he still looked like a child because he hadn't grown up yet. Because he was different from all the children she had come into contact with in her previous life, her attitude towards him was always average, and sometimes her tone was very bad, always thinking that he was thick-skinned and a little strange. But she didn't expect that this child would worry about her because of seeing the news, and was as straightforward as he had been before. He just sat at the door of the house waiting for her to return, just to see her and ask her the first time.
Zhu Jin looked at Shi Wei with a complicated look, but Shi Wei didn't notice it. He was relieved after hearing her answer and smiled to explain. "I heard my classmates talking about it after school, and I was worried after watching the news..."
"Don't worry..." Zhu Jin hesitated slightly, raised his hand and patted his slender shoulder soothingly. After sending the police away, he took Shi Wei into the house.
"Auntie, who hired someone to beat you?" Shi Wei was very concerned about this issue.
"People who have been beaten by my aunt..." Zhu Jin was silent for a moment and told the truth. Looking at Shi Wei, he added a warning, "Hitting people is a bad behavior. Don't learn it."
"I know that hitting people is wrong in many cases." Shi Wei nodded, "Auntie, why did you hit people?"
"Because..." Zhu Jin swallowed the three words "she deserves to be beaten" and changed them to "she needs to be beaten."
Someone who needs to be beaten! For Shi Wei, this definition was very novel and passionate. He looked at Zhu Jin and nodded seriously to show that he understood.
Zhu Jin didn't think much about it, and took out the freshly made jelly cake from the refrigerator and called Shi Wei, "Are you hungry? Eat some jelly cake. I made a lot this time. You can eat more for two days, but don't eat too much at one time."
"Wow!" After Shi Wei shouted, he devoted himself to eating the cold cake. The satisfied look on his face made Zhu Jin smile.
After eating a small plate, Shi Wei looked at Zhu Jin eagerly, but Zhu Jin shook his head and said, "You can't eat it today. You can eat it tomorrow. I made several flavors. You can try them."
"Okay." Although it was difficult, Shi Wei still nodded.
"Do you want to have dinner with your aunt today?" Shi Wei liked the food she cooked and had asked her eagerly before, but her attitude was really bad at that time. Today it was dinner time, so Zhu Jin asked.
"Is it okay?" Shi Wei's eyes immediately lit up and he asked hopefully.
"Okay, since you like the dishes cooked by auntie, I'll just make two simple dishes, which will be quick too." Zhu Jin nodded.
"Yeah!" Shi Wei jumped up and cheered, then turned and ran, "I'll go tell Dad that I'm having dinner at my aunt's house..."
After running a few meters, Shi Wei braked suddenly, ran back, and looked at Zhu Jin warmly, "Auntie, can my father eat it? He also likes the food you cook..." After a moment of hesitation, Shi Wei explained pitifully, "We are good brothers. We should share happiness and difficulties. I can't abandon him..."
Zhu Jin: “…!!!”
Inviting an adult man to have dinner at her home where she lives alone? Zhu Jin really wanted to refuse, but when she thought about the last time she went to their house, she couldn't say no. She smiled stiffly and nodded, "Sure, of course..."
As expected, one must be grateful for what one has done to him! "Great, I'll go back and tell my dad!" Shi Wei jumped up again, as if he had encountered a great event. Seeing the smile on his face, Zhu Jin's reluctance disappeared, and seeing that he was about to run again, he hurriedly called him, "Shi Wei, wait a minute, I'll go with you, invite your dad and send some cold cakes over."
"Okay, Auntie, I can do it too. I'm very strong." Shi Wei felt that today was the best day.
Zhu Jin carried a basket that was one size larger than before and arrived at Shi's house with Shi Wei. As soon as they stepped into the door, Shi Shangbai immediately opened the door to greet them, "Doctor Zhu Jin."
"Mr. Shi, sorry to bother you." Zhu Jin smiled and stopped walking into the house. He handed the basket to Shi Shangbai, "This is the jelly I made. I saw Shi Wei liked it very much before, so I made some more this time. I hope you like it too."
"I like it very much..." Shi Shangbai never thought that his son said he was going to wait for Zhu Jin, but he not only waited for Zhu Jin, but also waited for the cold cake. Seeing Zhu Jin handing it to him, he hurriedly took it and answered honestly about his feelings.
"Thank you." Zhu Jin smiled. "It's like this. This may be a little abrupt... I want to invite you and your son to my house for dinner. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's convenient. Very convenient." Ishigami Bai automatically ignored the food he had prepared and placed on the table and agreed without blushing or beating his heart, "I'd be happy to." Looking at his son's silly smile, he knew that he must have asked for this meal.
"Then I'll go back first. Can you guys come over when you're done packing?" Shi Shangbai's answer was too quick, and Shi Wei was laughing so hard that his eyes couldn't see, which made Zhu Jin's attitude much more casual.
"Okay." Ishigami Kashiwa nodded heavily and added, "Also, you can call me Ishigami Kashiwa."
"Auntie, see you later." Shi Wei nodded silently.
"Okay, see you later." Zhu Jin turned and left, went home, and cooked a few more dishes with the help of her aunt.
On this side, Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei watched Zhu Jin go into the house and out of sight, then they returned home and put the cold cakes Zhu Jin sent into the refrigerator together. Compared to the last time, Zhu Jin sent a lot more this time, with more flavors. Shi Wei remembered that Zhu Jin said not to eat too much, so he told Shi Shangbai honestly, and then watched Shi Shangbai eat while putting the cold cakes into the refrigerator, drooling.
Ishigami Bai was eating the cold cake and looking at his son's expression. He felt very happy and even his cold expression softened a lot.
After carrying Shi Wei, who was drooling over the cold cake, into the bathtub, Shi Shangbai cleared the food on the table, washed his face and changed his clothes. He hesitated for a long time whether to wear a tie or not. In the end, he chose not to wear one because he had to catch Shi Wei, who was in a hurry to go to Zhu Jin's house across the street.
Shi Wei wanted to go over impatiently, but Shi Shangbai thought that Zhu Jin would need time to cook, and it would not be good for them to go too early, so he forced Shi Wei to wait until it got dark before going over.
Zhu Jin, who changed into a light lotus-colored home dress, looked much softer under the light, and the smile on her lips was very heartwarming.
That kind of warmth can instantly make people fall into depravity and become intoxicated with it.
Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin who opened the door, and was stunned for a moment. He watched Shi Wei talking and laughing as she walked into the house, her steps getting slower and slower. His heart moved, and a thought that should not have appeared suddenly popped up in his mind.
Unstoppable, unstoppable, unstoppable.
So, we can only let nature take its course.
Ishigami Kashiwa took the time to walk to the dining room and decided to let things take their own course.
"Time is tight, and I haven't prepared much. My cooking skills... are average, so I can only eat casually." Zhu Jin and his aunt had just arranged the dishes. When Ishigami Bai and his son arrived, they took them directly to the dining room.
"Not casual, not casual, it looks delicious." Shi Wei's eyes were glued to the dining table, and he seriously refuted Zhu Jin.
"Yes, it looks very rich. Thank you for your hard work." Shi Shangbai echoed Shi Wei's words, and then said seriously, "Doctor Zhu Jin, Shi Wei and I have big appetites, but these dishes are enough. We usually have the habit of eating everything. Please don't worry about not having enough food and add more dishes in the middle of the meal because we have finished the dishes."
"Okay, I've got that." This was a very special explanation, and Zhu Jin nodded seriously. When she was a guest at their house before, they basically finished all the food afterwards, so she expressed her understanding.
After that, there was no more conversation. Due to time constraints, Zhu Jin only cooked a few simple home-cooked dishes, but Ishigami Bo and his son gave Zhu Jin face. Later, Zhu Jin sat and watched them clean the dishes, one after another. Zhu Jin smiled as he watched. Ishigami Bo and his son ate happily, and the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guest.
"It's really delicious. Thank you for your hospitality." Ishigami Bai and Shi Wei put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.
Zhu Jin looked at the almost empty plate and smiled. His smile was less cold and more familiar. "Thank you for giving me this face."
She really saw how much effort the father and son put into eating.
"I've only been able to eat for a short time. In the past, it was always my dad who could eat. Everyone said it was because I was growing up." Shi Wei touched his belly and explained to Zhu Jin.
"Well, you will grow up quickly." Zhu Jin knew his wish and agreed with a smile.
The three of them moved to the living room. After they sat down, Shi Shangbai asked Zhu Jin without much ado, "What did the prosecutor say about the people who attacked today?"
"They say it's difficult to prosecute, and even if you do, it's useless. It's just a warning and education." Zhu Jin was not surprised that Ishigami Bai knew the situation, because Su Mu called and answered quickly.
"This won't work. We have to find a way to completely eliminate it, otherwise we'll be dealing with these people all day long." Ishigami Bai frowned slightly, but continued in his tone.
“…Oh.” Zhu Jin hesitated for a moment and replied with an “oh.” Ishigami Bai’s tone sounded as if he wanted to find a way, but his identity didn’t seem to allow it.
"There must be more hired people behind us, and it's impossible for us to be safe and sound like today. You should bring guards to work starting tomorrow, and don't let them stay away from you." Shi Shangbai understood Zhu Jin's doubts, but didn't explain much, just gave serious instructions.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Zhu Jin knew the importance of the matter.
"Okay, I'll talk to them." After seeing her nod, Ishigami Bai stood up and went to find the two guards who were acting like invisible men, and had a serious conversation with them.
Zhu Jin: “…” I always feel like something is wrong.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, I will protect you. The cold cakes and dishes you make are so delicious. Everyone likes you and you have saved so many people. I will help you get revenge!" Shi Wei saw Shi Shangbai leave. It was not an occasion where children could not interrupt when adults were talking, so he immediately clenched his fists and said to Zhu Jin.
Zhu Jin: “…” Should I take it seriously?
When the father and son said goodbye, the two guards followed Zhu Jin to see them off, and they seemed to be even more polite and respectful to Shi Shangbai than last time.
"Mr. Shi knows so much." The guard sighed softly when returning.
"Yes." The second guard agreed, and then told Zhu Jin that they would go in and out with Zhu Jin from now on and would never leave her side, so it would be useless for Zhu Jin to say anything.
Zhu Jin watched the two determined people give up their insistence and was very curious about what Ishigami Bai had said to them. After talking for a while, Ishigami Bai's power became greater than hers.
