Chapter 405 Qin Fang was drunk for seven days and seven nights
"You have a younger brother named Lu Kai, right?" Su Mei suddenly asked Lu Xu.
Lu Xu was stunned at first, then nodded: "Yes, cousin."
"What are his abilities? Does he have the skill to rescue people from the Security Bureau?" Su Mei recounted the grudge between herself and Mu Lan, only talking about the part where Mu Lan framed her for cheating.
"It depends on whether he wants to bail you out." Lu Xu responded, and then continued, "His father is a very famous lawyer. If Mu Lan just framed you for cheating out of jealousy, then his father should be able to bail you out."
"Will his father help him?" Su Mei felt that parents would not get involved in such an unpleasant matter.
But Lu Xu said, "It's hard to say. My uncle only has my cousin, and he dotes on him very much."
"I see." Su Mei nodded to show that she understood.
She had no control over whether she was picked up or not, but what was certain was that Mu Lan could not go back to Yenching University, as she had already been expelled from the school.
Without the protection of the school, she would not have a place to stand in Yanjing for the time being.
Even though this matter has come to an end for the time being, Su Mei still has to spend time in the laboratory.
In the afternoon, after get off work, Su Mei went straight to the new yard.
Li Shufen and Yang Suhua have already moved all the things that needed to be moved over there.
They were basically all familiar people, including Sun Dai, Le Le, Chu Tian, and Zeng Shengqiang whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
In addition to these familiar people, Su Mei also saw many new faces in the yard that she had never seen before.
After Su Mei sat down next to Huo Jianguo, Li Shufen came over to introduce those people to Su Mei. She said, "Some of them are co-workers that your fifth brother got to know when he was working. Your fifth brother invited them to dinner.
In addition, there were cloth and needlework people in the department store. Because we had to cooperate with them, and our new yard was right next to the department store, I invited them all to come over for dinner. In addition to them, there were also some neighbors. Because there were so many people, I asked people to help cook, but I didn’t discuss it with you in advance, so I didn’t see you all day. ”
"There's nothing to discuss. Just make the decision yourself. A new house needs more people to celebrate." Su Mei thought that Li Shufen was doing a good job. When you are in an unfamiliar place, you have to learn to make friends.
In the spacious courtyard, people gathered in groups of three or five. Some were standing, some were sitting, some were talking to each other, and some were quietly waiting for their meals.
There were busy sounds coming from the kitchen, as the women were preparing a sumptuous meal. The sounds of cutting vegetables, frying, and the clattering of pots and spatulas were intertwined.
The sun shines on the open space in the center of the courtyard, illuminating the neatly arranged tables and chairs and the carefully arranged decorations. A breeze blows by, bringing the faint fragrance of flowers and the aroma of food.
Finally, the meal was served. The plate was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes: the braised pork was tempting, the sweet and sour spareribs were sweet and sour, the steamed fish was tender and juicy... There were also some green seasonal vegetables and cakes bought from the department store. Li Shufen prepared a particularly rich meal.
Because there were so many people, four tables were set up in the yard and divided into two for dining.
Li Shufen carried the rice bowl and served rice to people everywhere, but she refused to sit down no matter how they called her.
"Shufen, give me another spoonful of rice." A middle-aged man at the table next to Su Mei shouted.
Li Shufen, who was holding the rice bowl, immediately walked around when she heard the words. She served a spoonful of rice to the man. The man didn't know what to say, which made Li Shufen lower her head and put her ear close to the man's mouth to listen to his whisper.
Seeing this scene, Su Mei subconsciously turned her gaze to Zeng Shengqiang at her table.
Zeng Shengqiang, who was sitting at the same table, lifted up his wine glass. The wine in the glass was crystal clear, emitting a faint aroma.
He sipped the wine, and the burning sensation in his throat made him frown. However, even while drinking, his eyes would still fall on Li Shufen beside him from time to time.
Zeng Shengqiang felt that Su Mei was looking at him, and he subconsciously withdrew his gaze, as if he was a little unnatural. At this moment, Li Shufen seemed to have noticed his gaze, and she tilted her head slightly and glanced at Zeng Shengqiang.
The two people's eyes crossed in the air, and there seemed to be some subtle emotions hidden in them. Su Mei's heart moved, as if she had sensed a special feeling.
Perhaps, there really is something between them. Su Mei couldn't help but have a thought in her mind, if they were really lovers, she might be able to help them a little.
While chatting after dinner, Su Mei called Huo Jianguo aside on the pretext of asking him to see the bedroom she had reserved for them, and then she told him about Li Shufen and Zeng Shengqiang.
"Sister Shufen said that she didn't know whether there was a problem with Brother Qiang's sexual function. She said that if there was a problem, she would be willing to live with Brother Qiang.
Maybe Sister Shufen feels that she is not worthy of a healthy Brother Qiang, so she said that she is willing to accept a disabled man. You are familiar with Brother Qiang, so go and ask him what is going on. "
Su Mei gave the task of finding out the truth to Huo Jianguo.
Huo Jianguo is quite efficient in his work.
After the people in the yard dispersed, Su Mei stayed in the yard to rest, while Huo Jianguo accompanied Zeng Shengqiang out.
Almost two hours later, Huo Jianguo finally came back from outside. As soon as he came back, Su Mei hugged his arm and asked him:
"How was the question?"
"I asked, and I'm a little regretful. Brother Qiang said... ahem... cough." Huo Jianguo was not in a position to say the rest. Su Mei understood what he meant without him saying all the words.
Su Mei nodded: "That's indeed a pity!"
Thinking that Li Shufen might still be thinking about Zeng Shengqiang, Su Mei let go of Huo Jianguo and went to talk to Li Shufen about this matter.
She entered Li Shufen and Qiuqiu's room. Qiuqiu had already fallen asleep and Li Shufen was sewing the soles of Qiuqiu's shoes.
"Why are you doing this so late at night? The lighting is bad and it will hurt your eyes." Su Mei said.
Li Shufen put the soles of her shoes aside and replied with a smile: "I don't do it often. It's too hot. I can't sleep at all."
"Is it because it's too hot that you can't sleep, or is it because you're thinking about me and can't sleep?" Su Mei asked deliberately.
Li Shufen blushed at Su Mei's teasing. She pretended to be angry and glared at Su Mei: "Don't talk nonsense. How can there be anyone in my heart?"
"Tsk, I saw it all." Su Mei poured herself a glass of water from the table and continued, "You and Brother Qiang were flirting with each other during dinner, both of you looked like you had something to say but couldn't..."
"No way!" Li Shufen denied awkwardly.
There was no point in denying it. Su Mei believed her own eyes. She said to Li Shufen in a serious tone, "I have to remind you, don't think about that Brother Qiang anymore. It's not appropriate."
"I know it's inappropriate. I know myself well. I don't have any feelings for her." Li Shufen said quickly and hastily.
Knowing that Li Shufen had misunderstood her meaning, Su Mei hurriedly explained: "Hey, what are you thinking? I didn't say you are not worthy of him. No matter how outstanding he is, he is just an old man who can't have children.
What I mean is, I've already inquired for you. He's really not good in that aspect. This is not the imperial palace. There's no need for us to find a eunuch to be our partner.
When our shop opens in the future, you will be even more dazzling and you won’t have trouble finding a better man. Although Brother Qiang is very good, it’s better not to find someone like him.”
"Are you serious?" Li Shufen asked hesitantly.
"Of course it's true." Su Mei whispered in Li Shufen's ear, "What Huo Jianguo just asked is absolutely true."
"Oh, I see." Li Shufen nodded when she heard that. She looked out the window, her thoughts drifting far away.
For some reason, Su Mei felt that Li Shufen's eyes were particularly bright under the dim light, and seemed to have a little more longing.
"Sister Shufen?" Su Mei called Li Shufen with some confusion.
Li Shufen immediately regained her thoughts and said with a smile, "Well! Thank you for always thinking about these things and helping me find out. I now have an idea!"
"That's good to know. Huo Jianguo and I will go to sleep." After saying hello to Li Shufen, Su Mei stepped out again.
Because it was too late, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo did not go back.
Anyway, the yard is big and there are many houses. Su Mei has also reserved a room for herself, so there is a place for the couple to sleep.
Huo Jianguo got up before dawn.
Because this street is far from where Huo Jianguo works, he has to leave early in order not to be late.
Su Mei has casual working hours and she is not in a hurry.
Su Mei slept until dawn before getting up to wash.
After washing up, she went out, pushed the bike out of the yard and planned to go home.
On the road outside the yard, Yang Suhua was teaching Su Shengxue how to ride a bike.
This is what Su Mei asked him to learn. Since Su Shengxue got the opportunity to stay, he had to learn to ride a bicycle, which would definitely come in handy in the future.
The morning sun had just risen, casting warm rays of sunlight on the two of them.
Seeing Su Mei coming out, both of them greeted her with a smile.
Su Mei rode past the two of them and shouted to Su Shengxue, "Study hard!"
At this time, Su Mei had not planned to go to work. She planned to go back home first and get some toiletries to go to the laboratory.
Last night Su Mei told Huo Jianguo that she planned to stay in the laboratory for a few days.
You have to act it out fully, otherwise how can you make others believe that Su Mei has put a lot of effort into this experiment.
After deciding to complete the entire process well, Su Mei stayed in the laboratory day and night and did not leave for three weeks.
She originally just wanted to pretend, but who knew that although she remembered the experimental process, it was difficult to actually carry it out.
After three weeks, she discovered with exhaustion that she didn't need to pretend at all and that the difficulties she needed time to overcome were more than she had imagined.
If she wasn't extremely tired and wanted to have a good sleep, she would definitely continue to stay up a little longer.
Unable to bear it any longer, she dragged her tired body back home.
She returned at noon half a month later, took a shower and slept for the whole afternoon.
Su Mei didn't get up from bed until Huo Jianguo came back in the evening.
The daughter-in-law who had not been seen for several days finally came back, and Huo Jianguo excitedly went up to hug her.
The two of them were intimate and tender for a while, and Huo Jianguo stopped and asked Su Mei:
"By the way, what did you do when you took your senior brother Qin Fang out that day?
I heard that he drank like crazy every day since that day, and when he was drunk he would rush to take a shower.
All this time, he has never been sober and won't say anything when asked.
My master and his wife came over yesterday to ask about you, but when they heard that you were doing research, they said they would not disturb you anymore. And since you were in there, they couldn’t contact you.
It's a good thing that you're back now, so tell me what happened?"
