Lu Li hurriedly went to the kitchen.
Thick smoke billowed out.
His first action was to carry Zheng Xiao out and place her in the living room.
Where are you hurt?
Zheng Xiao shook her head.
Once Lu Li was sure Zheng Xiao wasn't injured, he turned and ran back to the kitchen.
Turn off the heat.
Open the window.
Turn on the range hood.
Then I went to the storage room to get the vacuum cleaner and floor scrubber.
They then cleaned up all the broken pieces on the ground and placed them outside the door along with the other trash.
All the movements were performed in one smooth motion, without the slightest sign of panic.
He then went to the bathroom to get a face towel and helped Zheng Xiao clean the dirt off her face and hands, finally bringing the little disturbance to a close.
Jiang Zao's fondness for Lu Li increased dramatically, and she mentally gave him many points.
"Was that... Xiaoxiao, you were cooking?"
Zheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, I want to learn."
Jiang Zao asked, "Do you remember when you burned down your family's kitchen in junior high school, which alarmed the fire department and almost caused damage to your entire villa?"
Zheng Xiao refused to recall the past: "A good woman doesn't dwell on past glories; times have changed."
Jiang Zao sighed helplessly, then looked at Lu Li: "Are you just going to let her make a scene like this?"
Lu Li brought Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci some freshly brewed coffee.
“The withdrawal symptoms are quite severe. Miss Zheng needs to distract herself with something else. Learning to cook is a good idea; she'll need it someday, and she's quite interested in it too,” Lu Li explained.
Jiang Zao pointed to the battlefield that had just been cleaned up—the kitchen.
Q: "Are you sure learning to cook is a good thing?"
Lu Li: "It was my fault just now. I went to the bathroom and then received a call from the hospital, so I didn't keep a close eye on her, which almost caused her to get hurt. It won't happen again next time."
Zheng Xiao has visibly lost a lot of weight in the past two days.
He was about to speak when he couldn't help but yawn, his eyes revealing obvious annoyance.
Lu Li brought over two boxes.
One box contains snacks.
One box contains Lego.
The snacks were for Zheng Xiao to quit smoking.
Lego was used to help Zheng Xiao distract herself from thinking about drinking.
Jiang Zao didn't expect that Lu Li actually had a way with Zheng Xiao.
Does this count as one thing subduing another?
After sitting for a while, Jiang Zao finally brought up the important matter.
“The police might try to get Zheng Qi’s confession in exchange for a meeting with him, so don’t answer any calls from anyone these next two days, and don’t open the door if anyone knocks. I have a key and I know the password, so I’ll come in by myself if I come,” Jiang Zao said.
Lu Li was in a dilemma: "I need to go to the hospital to take care of Huanhuan."
Jiang Zao began to use her financial power, "I've already spoken with Professor Chen. He will keep a close eye on Huanhuan's situation. He has also introduced the best caregiver for leukemia patients. Don't worry, Huanhuan will be fine these next two days. You just need to take good care of Xiaoxiao and make sure that Zheng Qi's case doesn't bother Xiaoxiao or aggravate her condition before the trial."
Hearing Jiang Zao say this, Lu Li felt that he was the one who had come out on top.
After all, the caregiver personally recommended by Professor Chen must be reliable.
"Thanks."
Jiang Zao said, "I should thank you. You took good care of Xiaoxiao. I feel very relieved with you here."
Zheng Xiao had a lollipop in her mouth; this was already her third one.
She ate rather quickly, just like she used to smoke when she was upset, one cigarette after another.
"I'm telling you, aren't you tired of all this polite formalities? Isn't it fake? If you keep acting like this, I'm going to start throwing up again, and I won't be responsible for clogging the toilet." Zheng Xiao still spoke with that nonchalant and slightly roguish air.
She's clearly a girl, and quite flamboyant and alluring, yet she's developed the aura of a spoiled young master who wants to seize things by force.
Jiang Zao couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the Lego that Zheng Xiao was playing with, and asked in a teasing tone, "Didn't you used to say that this is something only idiots play with?"
Zheng Xiao didn't refute: "Don't you think that if I quit smoking and drinking, there's no difference between me and someone with an intellectual disability?"
"Then you're still willing to quit?"
"I did this all for him..." Zheng Xiao quickly corrected himself, "For his sister."
Jiang Zao's suspicious gaze lingered between the two, and she suddenly felt that Lu Li might not be entirely without a chance.
Lu Li sat on the ground, looking at the Lego set that Zheng Xiao had haphazardly arranged, and patiently tried to correct it.
"This is wrong, it should be placed here."
He even picked up the blueprints and showed them to Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao pursed her lips, didn't refute, took down the Lego set that had just been placed there, and rearranged it according to the positions Lu Li had indicated.
This kind of 'compliance' is especially rare for the rebellious Zheng Xiao.
Jiang Zao even wanted to give Lu Li a thumbs up and manually give him a thumbs up.
Click!
Jiang Zao took a group photo of them.
They were sent to Zheng Xiao and Lu Li respectively.
Looking at the photo, Lu Li, whether intentionally or unintentionally, casually remarked, "You would definitely be more well-behaved and beautiful if you had black hair."
Jiang Zao raised an eyebrow.
over.
This kid stepped on a landmine.
Sure enough, Zheng Xiao immediately overturned all the Lego sets to the ground.
Lu Li was also pinned to the ground by her.
His eyes were unruly, and he was chewing on a lollipop with a loud crunching sound, as if he were biting into Lu Li's bones with every bite.
He then spat the lollipop stick onto the ground.
"Don't push your luck!"
"You think you can climb up just because I gave you a pole? You think you can run a business just because you have some influence? You're just my assistant. Haven't I told you? Don't touch my head, and don't even think about messing with my hair!"
Jiang Zao pulled Zheng Xiao up and dragged her aside.
