Chapter 454: Seams and needles
"I'm eating my fill to go to war."
"I was afraid that the white lotus would poison me to death."
Zhang Xiao laughed, "You think too highly of her, her poison is hidden, it's hard to catch evidence, it's not stupid enough to poison you to death at your own family's banquet, at most, you were poisoned to death by poison, the most you could do is to eat some medicine that would make you lose your mind, improve your reputation, ruin your innocence, and make you ashamed to marry Xiujie."
Ye Qing laughed, "So let's fill our stomachs first, and don't eat anything when we get there."
"That is my home after all. After being said so badly by you, where would I put my face?" Zhang Xiao held onto the golden-edged cabbage that was cooked by Ye Qing as she praised Ye Qing's cooking skill which was getting better and better. In the future, Yi Xiu Jie would definitely be lucky.
Ye Qing also reached out with her chopsticks to pick up the golden side dish, "Have you ever wanted that family's face before? "Don't eat so much, at least leave me some."
"The carrot flower in front of you is very pretty. Eat it." The two women were both skilled in cooking, and the dishes they cooked were also delicious.
"Zhang Xiao, you don't want me to throw away the Old gown that the white lotus sent over, what do you plan to do with it?" After bickering with Zhang Xiao, Ye Qing cut to the chase. Zhang Xiao came to find her before the banquet was about to begin. Not only did she want to bring her along, she also wanted to see if the Old gown that Ling Hong Yu had sent over was still with Ye Qing.
Zhang Xiao replied honestly, "I'll wear it."
Ye Qing looked at her in shock. While she was still in shock, she immediately reached out with her chopsticks to take the last bit of golden side dish into her bowl and quickly put it into her mouth. Even half of the carrot flower was ripped off by her.
"You wear it? Zhang Xiao, you mean to say that you want to wear the Old gown of the white lotus? " Ye Qing still could not disappear, but Zhang Xiao actually wanted to wear Ling Hong Yu's Old gown.
"Yeah."
Zhang Xiao went to pick up the salted pork ribs again and smiled: "Ye Qing, continue being stunned. I was so busy these past two days that I haven't had a proper meal, and I just so happened to compensate me with food made by your Chef Ye. It's really a delicacy, I really can't bear to marry you to Yi Xiu Jie.
Ye Qing laughed and scolded her, "I even wanted to go to your house to get some food to eat. Zhang Xiao, tell me, why are you wearing Ling Hong Yu's Old gown? " Ling Hong Yu had sent the Old gown over just to humiliate Ye Qing, but Zhang Xiao had actually accepted the humiliation, Ye Qing did not want her good friend to be successful in the fight against her stepmother.
Zhang Xiao asked her: "Didn't you make the soup?"
"I forgot."
"Then I'll continue eating." Zhang Xiao acted like a glutton, making Ye Qing feel both amused and pained. Zhang Xiao said that she had been busy these past two days. Ye Qing was able to guess that Zhang Xiao was busy preparing the vacation villa. Ever since my good stepmother married into the Zhang Family, she had been playing with my father, Qin Se. Their relationship remained the same even after dozens of years of marriage. I admit that Ling Hong Yu and my father are indeed a happy couple, and that I won't have anything to do with them. There are a lot of parties in that circle. Every time my dad attends, he would definitely bring Ling Hong Yu along with him.
Saying that, Ye Qing's heart lit up.
Zhang Xiao picked up another piece of steak to eat, and only after eating did she continue: "Ling Hong Yu has always performed perfectly in front of my father, and treated me like my own person, every time I see her, she would always treat me with gentleness and gentleness. No matter how I treat her, she always looks like she's wronged. If I appear at the banquet wearing Ling Hong Yu's evening gown, what do you think of it? "
The daughter of her ex-wife was so pitiful that she didn't even have a new evening dress and had to pick up what her stepmother didn't want.
Many people did not know about Zhang Xiao, but after tonight, Zhang Xiao's identity as the young miss of Zhang Family would be known by the entire city. Ling Hong Yu, the stepmother, was so harsh that she didn't even need to say anything. Everyone just watched with their own eyes.
Zhang Hao Tian also recognized Ling Hong Yu's evening dress. Seeing his wife wearing the clothes that her daughter did not want, perhaps he would not immediately look at Ling Hong Yu with suspicion like an outsider, and would feel annoyed. After all, he was relying on Zhang Xiao right now.
No matter who Ling Hong Yu gave the evening gown to, in any case, it was worn by Zhang Xiao, for all those who were respected to see, it would have their own twists and turns. Everyone's thoughts were no longer the same, in any case, there were things that were disadvantageous to Ling Hong Yu.
Ling Hong Yu probably never would have thought that she would actually be used by Zhang Xiao instead of humiliating him.
It really was as expected of a ghost fight after walking too much in the night, landing an opening for Zhang Xiao to crawl into.
She wanted to give Ye Qing the evening gown, but it was not without consideration for her reaction when she found out. She thought that Zhang Xiao must have thrown away the Old gown that he had given her angrily.
"So it's like that. Zhang Xiao, do you have any interest in writing novels? Ye Qing joked, seeing that the dishes on the plate were almost all finished by Zhang Xiao, she could not help but scold Zhang Xiao: "No matter how busy you are, you can't treat yourself unfairly. You know, nothing is as important as your body. "
"Look at how I keep eating. I won't treat myself unfairly."
Zhang Xiao was satisfied as she ate. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and sighed again, "Yi Xiu Jie is too fortunate. You must cook more dishes in the future and prepare to eat. Mu Ya will definitely follow."
Ye Qing laughed involuntarily, "So you want to drag your daughter here to get food? Aren't you afraid that the Mubai will chop me apart?" Mu Chen was an extremely overbearing person, he would never care about his woman coming to get food, he would only blame Ye Qing and Yi Xiu Jie for being two big light bulbs.
"He was gone two days." After mentioning the one less, Zhang Xiao fell into a state of deep thought. When she was busy, she did not remember Mu Chen.
It turned out that her feelings for him were not as rational and as little as she had imagined.
To him, she had already taken his heart into her own.
"I miss him a lot."
In front of Ye Qing, she was not ashamed.
"Even an hour in One phone call is not enough. Ye Qing, I never thought that I would miss him so much when I was free."
"As the saying goes, love goes deep."
"I'll call him." Zhang Xiao took out his phone and called Mu Chen. The phone you pulled has been shut down. "
Mu Chen's phone was turned off!
A hint of fear swept through Zhang Xiao's heart as she muttered to herself, "How did Mu Chen shut down his phone?"
She was not willing to give up, she knew that Mu Chen still had other calls, so she called another number, only to receive a reply, "The phone that you pulled out is already closed."
Zhang Xiao's face changed, but she still calmly called Ning Zhi Yuan. After Ning Zhi Yuan answered the call, she asked: "NINGHAI, can you tell me the contact number for Mu Chen's secretary?"
"Mu Chen's phone is not connected?"
"Maybe there's no more electricity."
Ning Zhi Yuan's phoenix eyes flashed, and she gave Zhang Xiao her secretary's number.
The secretary's phone was actually connected, causing Zhang Xiao to feel slightly more at ease. Mu Chen was only out on a business trip, he had already safely reached his destination and would be fine.
However, after conversing with the secretary for a while, Zhang Xiao's expression still changed. There was surprise, there was gratitude, and there was heartache.
