Chapter 549 My name is Shang Ruoting
Shang Ruoting walked into the small kitchen carrying the crystal pork elbow, and a deep and suppressed male voice came from inside:
"go out."
Shang Ruoting was not frightened by the sound and walked inside with the tray in her hand.
She finally found an opportunity to enter the kitchen, but she hadn't found the person she was looking for yet. How could she leave so easily?
Hearing the footsteps getting closer behind him, the man turned his head suddenly.
I saw the scar on his face starting from the corner of his eye and spreading to the base of his ear.
Ignoring the horrible scar, just looking at his eyebrows and eyes, he does bear some resemblance to the old lady Shang.
While the two looked at each other, Shang Ruoting placed the plate of crystal pork elbow on the chopping board.
"The customer said this dish has no salt."
Qiao Bei walked forward, took a piece of pork elbow and put it in his mouth to taste it. After chewing it for a few times, his face became even gloomier.
He stuffed the plate back into Shang Ruoting's hands and said angrily, "Tell the customers if they want something saltier, they can buy pickles."
Seeing Qiao Bei was about to chase him away, Shang Ruoting said, "My name is Shang Ruoting."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Bei's face was blank for a moment, but he soon returned to his original expressionless face.
"I don't know any Shang Ruoting. Please leave now. This is not a place for a little girl like you to be."
After he finished speaking, Qiao Bei turned around and blinked hard a few times, trying hard to control the tears from flowing out.
Just when he lost consciousness, Shang Ruoting caught him red-handed.
Based on the other party's performance, Shang Ruoting can now completely conclude that this person is Shang Lifeng.
"I don't care what your reasons are. Now that I've found this place, I won't leave until I get to the bottom of it."
For the sake of her elderly grandmother at home, Shang Ruoting could not return empty-handed.
Shang Lifeng didn't know how to face his only daughter, not to mention that he didn't want his daughter to stay here.
Just when he was thinking about how to drive Shang Ruoting away, Shang Ruoting spoke.
"Grandma has suffered a lifetime, and the only hope that keeps her alive is waiting for you to come back."
Hearing this, Shang Lifeng was completely defeated and tears welled up in his eyes.
But he turned around anyway, not wanting his daughter to see him like this.
Even so, Shang Ruoting still noticed Shang Lifeng's shoulders shaking slightly due to sobbing.
Seeing Shang Lifeng sobbing, Shang Ruoting's heart instinctively skipped a beat.
She was sure that this feeling must have come from the original owner, otherwise, she would not have had any ripples towards a stranger.
Shang Ruoting could only use this excuse to cover up the bitterness in her heart.
In order not to alert the enemy, Shang Ruoting didn't dare to stay here for too long.
"I don't care why you've lost contact with grandma for so many years. Now that I've found you, you must give me an explanation."
Shang Lifeng also knew his daughter's current situation. After all, there were two bodyguards standing at the kitchen door, staring at him all day long.
Now that his identity was exposed, Shang Lifeng had no intention of hiding it any further.
"Tingting, this is not a place for a little girl like you to be. Leave now before those people notice anything unusual. From now on, just treat me as if I'm dead."
Shang Ruoting stared at Shang Lifeng with a determined look: "Since I came here to find you, there is no way I will return empty-handed."
Shang Lifeng hurriedly wiped away the tears that were still lingering in the corners of his eyes.
"Tingting, Dad is sorry for you. You must listen to Dad and leave here immediately. Also, I have already ruined Li's Imperial Cuisine..."
Shang Lifeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally, Shang Ruoting could barely hear it.
Shang Ruoting's purpose of coming here was not for "Li's Imperial Cuisine". After seeing the two bodyguards at the door, she roughly guessed Shang Lifeng's situation.
It is obvious that he is imprisoned and can be said to have no freedom at all.
"No, I want you to leave with me and go back to see grandma."
Shang Lifeng smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Dad will never be able to go back in this lifetime."
Shang Ruoting knew that a lot must have happened to Shang Lifeng in the past twenty years, but now was not the time to ask.
"Believe me, I will find a way to take you away."
He hadn't seen his daughter for twenty years. Now his daughter has grown from a little girl into a beautiful young lady. Shang Lifeng felt more and more guilty.
He even wanted to completely lose his mind and take his daughter for a good look, but reason still overcame impulse. He couldn't hurt his daughter.
Just when Shang Lifeng was feeling extremely flustered, someone outside called out, "Master Qiao, someone wants to eat Dongpo pork."
Shang Lifeng heard the voice and quickly rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and replied in a deep voice: "I know."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shang Ruoting anxiously: "Leave here first and wait for me on the deck in the early morning."
Since Shang Lifeng could tell her a time to meet again, Shang Ruoting simply didn't stay any longer. She nodded and carried the plate of crystal pork elbow out of the kitchen.
