The Su family's old house was built by the second grandfather after decades of hard work for his childhood dream. There are not many antiques in the house, but they are well preserved, such as the antique porcelain vase in the corner, which is covered with a glass cover to prevent dust and breakage, so there is no need to worry about it being damaged by the jumping cats.

When people said that the Second Master was a spendthrift, Su Ling was the first one to disagree.

"Grandpa, did you come here today to mourn the death of Second Grandpa?" Su Ling asked, "Second Grandpa's grave is on the north side of Phoenix Mountain. If you want to visit the grave, I'll go to the village shop to buy some paper money and candles."

Old Master Su's anger was like being splashed with cold water, and it died out before it even showed up.

Su Ze helped him sit on the mahogany chair and said to Su Ling: "Grandpa is old, it may be a bit difficult for him to go up the mountain."

Su Ling turned around to look at the sky outside and nodded, "Yes, the sun is shining brightly now. It's really not suitable to go to the graves."

He opened the cat bag and let out Believer. Believer jumped out, stretched, and walked gracefully to the doghouse in the corner of the living room. King was sleeping soundly with his belly exposed. It rudely slapped him with its paw. King woke up and barked several times, then pounced on Believer. Believer jumped up nimbly and ran out of the house. The local dog ran after him.

A cat and a dog ran past Mr. Su, giving him a fright.

"…What is this thing?"

"They are a cat and a dog. They are still young and lively. I hope they didn't scare grandpa?" Su Ling asked with concern.

Grandpa Su frowned, leaning his hands on a cane. He didn't have a deep impression of his grandson Su Ling, except that he was a spoiled and tearful child, and that he studied art when he grew up, and chose an artistic path, which was completely different from the other descendants of the Su family who chose the business path.

Grandpa Su had always disdained people who could not play a role in the family's interests, so he almost forgot about this grandson. Now, after meeting him and just a few minutes of contact, he found that he was not a pure fool.

With just a few words, he can offend people everywhere and make people unable to refute him. He seems to be quite scheming.

With a slight snort, Old Master Su asked coldly, "You have guests at home, but you don't even know how to make tea?"

Su Ling said calmly: "I'm just about to make some tea. Grandpa and second cousin, please sit for a while."

Without waiting for their response, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Su Ze sat next to Grandpa Su and said with a smile: "Xiao Ling is just like this. Please don't be offended, Grandpa."

Old Master Su said with a straight face, "I don't know what he has learned from others in the past three years. He even forgot the etiquette he learned in the Su family."

Su Ze pondered and said, "His partner is the head of the Lu family. I believe the rules of the Lu family are no less than those of the Su family."

"The Lu Family?" Old Master Su's drooping eyelids twitched. "The kid from the Lu Family is too young. It's still unknown whether he can hold on to his position."

Su Ze lowered his eyes. "Grandpa is right."

Is it Feng?

A year and a half ago, they had clashed in a bidding competition, and he had been defeated miserably. Although he won the project in the end, it was the other party who let him win.

Seeing Su Ling looking so energetic today, doesn't he look sick?

Su Ling took out the premium rain and dew tea, brewed a pot of it with expert skill, placed it on a tray along with the teacups, and carried it back to the living room.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." He placed the tray on the tea table, picked up the purple clay teapot, poured tea into two white porcelain cups, and handed them to Grandpa Su with both hands. "This is the rain and dew tea grown by the second master, please try it."

Old Master Su took the white porcelain cup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, relaxed his brows, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

"nice."

Su Ling also poured a glass for Su Ze.

"Thank you." Su Ze took the tea, looked at the clear tea in the cup and asked, "Is this the Phoenix Mountain Rain Dew Tea that has been very popular recently?"

Su Ling sat across from them and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. "Does my cousin know?"

"I occasionally check Weibo to read the news." Su Ze took a sip and squinted his eyes. "It's really delicious."

Su Ling smiled and said, "Second Master has been planting tea with the villagers for 20 years, and now the tea plantation has become large-scale."

Old Master Su said, "If he is willing to go to the city with me, why should he stay in the country as a tea farmer?"

Su Ling sighed: "Maybe this is just because everyone has their own aspirations!"

"Bang--"

Mr. Su placed the teacup heavily on the tea table on his left.

There is no point in chatting today. Every word this grandson says is unpleasant to the ear. It is simply so infuriating that I am dying.

Su Ze said to Su Ling tactfully: "Xiao Ling, Grandpa is getting older..."

Su Ling looked innocent. "I didn't mean anything else. Second Grandpa probably prefers living in the countryside, so he chose to stay in the old house. There isn't much else to do in the countryside, just farm work. I've lived here for a few months and learned how to grow vegetables, transplant rice, and harvest rice. The process was a bit hard, but when I reaped the fruits of my labor, I felt a sense of accomplishment. By the way—"

He put down his teacup, stood up and said, "I refined some fragrant rice. I gave some to friends when I went back to S City last time. I still have five or six bags left at home. You can take two bags back to try."

Under the surprised stares of Old Master Su and Su Ze, Su Ling swiftly carried out two 50-jin bags of rice from the small warehouse next to the kitchen, threw them on the living room floor with two "bangs", patted the rice bags, his eyes sparkling.

"The rice grown in the fields with rice fish is especially fragrant." Su Ling looked up at the antique clock hanging on the wall, "Oh, it's eleven o'clock. I'll go cook for you."

Mr. Su: ...

Suze: ...

Rui Feng drove his black car slowly to the parking space in front of the basketball court, unbuckled his seatbelt, turned off the engine and got out of the car. He walked past the luxury car parked in front of the courtyard gate, frowned, opened the gate, dodged two cats and dogs chasing each other, walked into the living room, and saw two guests sitting inside drinking tea.

Su Ze heard the noise, turned to look at the tall man at the door of the living room, and stood up in surprise.

"Hello, Mr. Rui." He put down the teacup and politely stepped forward and extended his hand.

When Lu Feng stepped over the threshold, Bo Lan couldn't help but shake his hand. "Hello, President Su."

Su Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Rui is very busy. It's such a coincidence that I can meet you here today."

Lu Feng said: "Mutual, mutual."

Letting go of his hand, Su Ze leaned over and introduced: "This is my grandpa. Grandpa, he is the head of the Lu Group, Xiao Ling's partner, Lu Feng."

Old Master Su sat there without moving, raised his eyelids, and looked at Feng Feng with a sharp gaze. "He has some of the demeanor of old Feng Feng when he was young."

Lu Feng said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Su, for the compliment."

Old Master Su snorted twice and said no more. He had nothing to say to the boy from the Lu family, and even if Old Master Lu came, he would not bother to talk.

Lu Feng didn't care. He took off his stuffy suit, put it on the mahogany chair, and walked towards the kitchen naturally.

In the kitchen, the exhaust fan was buzzing. Su Ling was cutting meat, fish soup was stewing in the pot, and vegetables were soaking in the sink. She was very busy.

Luo Feng came to the sink and helped wash the vegetables.

"Ah? You're back?" Su Ling put the cut meat on the plate.

"Hmm." Ruifeng's actions of washing vegetables are much more skillful than before. The freshly picked vegetables are very fresh and tender. He breaks open the leaves and repeatedly washes them under the water basket. Especially at the root of the vegetable stems, there is a little mud and sand hidden, which must be washed clean.

Su Ling turned off the induction cooker, opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of fish immediately filled the air.

"Did you see the guests?"

"Um."

"What do you think?"

Su Ling took out a soup plate from the sterilizer and poured the milky white fish soup into it.

After washing the vegetables, he turned off the water drum.

Su Ling shrugged. "Yes! If it can alarm the old man, it must be a big deal."

In fact, he could roughly guess the purpose of Grandpa and Su Ze's visit today.

There is a sequel to the last kidnapping.

After waking up in the hospital, Grandpa Bai told the police that the murderer was his grandson Bai Wenxi. After three days and three nights of investigation, the police caught the suspect in a hotel in a remote town.

After Wen Xi was arrested, he firmly denied the crime. It was not until Grandpa Bai was discharged from the hospital and came to the detention center that Wen Xi's spirit collapsed, tears flowed down his face, and he confessed to his grandfather.

Grandpa Bai was very disappointed and left with a sigh, shaking his head.

Wen Xi died, his defenses were broken, and he confessed his crimes truthfully.

Because of jealousy, he lost himself and was drunk and raped by Li Ting and Shen Wei. Afterwards, he did not call the police but fell into depravity, blaming all the crimes on Su Ling, and used sexual transactions to instigate Li Ting and others to plan a kidnapping. The kidnapping failed, Li Ting and others fled for fear of crime, and he returned home. Stimulated by his grandfather's words, he had the intention to kill, which led to a big mistake.

Wenxi cried bitterly and regretted it, but it was too late.

He begged Grandpa Bai to forgive him and save him, but Grandpa Bai remained unmoved.

"A crime is a crime. There's no point in begging me. Leave everything to the law."

Wen Xi cried and made a fuss in the detention center, but it was of no avail.

When his father, who was far away in Country M, learned that his son had committed a crime in Country Z, he flew over without stopping with his lawyer to defend his son.

Su Ling did not ask or pay attention to what happened next or how Master Bai would handle it. However, due to Wen Xi's confession, Li Ting, Shen Wei, Su Dan and others became wanted criminals as accomplices, which made several big families in S City lose face. They not only hated Wen Xi, but also Su Ling.

Su Dan is not a promising descendant in the Su family, but he has a capable mother. She is very familiar with the scenes of crying, making a fuss, and then hanging herself. Grandpa must have been unable to bear her fussing, so he asked Su Ze to bring him here to find him.

To be honest, Su Dan committed a criminal case, the prosecutor is the procuratorate, and the victim has no right to withdraw the lawsuit, so there is not much point in them coming to find him.

"If you don't like it, you can ask them to go back," said Lu Feng.

"Uh..." Su Ling said while washing the pot, "After all, the guests have come from afar, so we should at least treat them to a meal!"

After washing the pot, he touched the man with his shoulder and said, "Go, entertain us in the living room."

Rui Feng pursed his lips, washed his hands, and left the kitchen reluctantly.

Su Ling raised his eyebrows and continued cooking.

In the living room, three men sat on mahogany chairs, staring at each other.

The strange atmosphere lasted for more than half an hour, until Su Ling finished cooking and called for dinner. The three men finally walked to the restaurant.

Su Ze saw the sumptuous lunch on the eight-immortal table and asked in astonishment, "These... were all made by Xiao Ling?"

"Yes!" Su Ling took off her apron and said with a smile, "I don't know if it suits your taste, so I specially made a few more dishes."

The three fresh vegetables, boiled shrimps, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried lotus root slices, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage, egg yolk cucumber, and the milky white crucian carp soup in the middle are all delicious and make people's appetite grow.

I really can't believe that the most spoiled young master of their Su family is such a good cook.

Su Ze had a complicated expression.
