Chapter 19 Doing anything for money will cost you your life
Li Zao was about to move out just a few days after moving here, and Su Kui expressed that he was very disappointed.
During the past few days of living together, Li Zao not only kept the house clean, but also had different meals three times a day. He was simply a treasure roommate.
Of course, as a good friend who grew up together, she always knew what Li Zao would do.
These five years of marriage have made her cooking skills even better.
Su Kui sat on the small bed in the study room, reluctantly watching Li Zao pack his things.
She said with emotion: "I miss your hands that are good at 'passing the warp and cutting the weft'. For Lu Xiangning to wash his hands and make soup, he changed from a weaver girl to a cook. His skills were neglected for five years, but his cooking skills were perfected. He is still so right
You are really blind."
Li Zao responded to her lightly while cleaning up, "Yes, he is blind."
"Zao'er, I feel sorry for you..."
Li Zao stopped what he was doing and looked back. Su Kui's eyes were red. She immediately stepped forward to hug her and pat her back gently, "As long as you care about me, I won't feel any pain at all. Really."
"I'm always here. If you don't have a good time there, no matter what time, even in the middle of the night, even in the middle of the night, you come to me."
"Okay..." Li Zao touched her face.
In the evening, it was the rush hour for getting off work. Li Zao followed the directions and drove there, driving all the way through traffic jams. When he arrived, it was already dark.
No surprise, they were the last to arrive.
The reason why "most" is used is because besides the two parties involved, Lu Xiangning and Gu Zheng, there were a lot of people at the scene.
The most eye-catching thing is Zhao Zichu, who is sitting on the right side of Lu Xiangning.
Lu Xianglan sat next to Zhao Zichu, and on the other side of her was a familiar face, lawyer Zhuo Jingfan.
Then there is Lan Zhicheng, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
Lan Zhicheng was wearing a white suit, and he seemed to be going to the exhibition.
He was born in a jewelry family, and now he is also engaged in the jewelry design industry. He is the most senior VIP guest of Ji's Auction House.
As gentle as jade, unparalleled on the road, that's what describes him.
Among Lu Xiangning's group of friends, Li Zao admired him the most.
She felt that he had the noble aura of an artist and was not very gregarious with other people.
Especially Gu Zheng.
But Lan Zhicheng and Gu Zheng were sitting together, one white and one black, one still and one moving, the contrast was extremely obvious.
Call them incompatible, they can still sit down and drink and chat.
There are two empty seats on the other side of Gu Zheng.
It is reserved exclusively for Li Zao and Su Kui.
There are ten seats at a table. Two seats were removed, leaving only eight. They could only sit here.
Su Kui didn't want to sit with the second-generation ancestor, but she couldn't sit next to Lu Xiangning. She tugged on Li Zao's sleeves and asked in a low voice: "Is it too late for me to leave now?"
Li Zao also wanted to leave. He had agreed to just have a simple reconciliation meal. Why did so many people come? What did they want to do, join forces to criticize?
"You are finally here, we are almost starving to death waiting for you."
Lu Xianglan was sitting closest to the door. When he saw them appearing at the door, he immediately stepped forward and pulled them in. Then he stuck his head out and shouted outside, "Waiter, serve the food, hurry up."
She had been hungry for so long that she couldn't even care about her image.
Soon, Zhuo Jingfan and Lan Zhicheng stood up to make way for them.
In this situation, it was unrealistic to leave. Li Zao pulled Su Kui and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Eat first. If I lift the table later, you hold my order."
If Li Zao looked familiar here, Su Kui was just trying to catch up. When he sat down in his seat, he was still confused.
Gu Zheng poured her wine, his attitude was as good as if the previous festival had never happened, "Miss Su, we don't know each other, come here, I propose a toast to you, and wish you happiness every day."
Su Kui: "..."
The weasel gives New Year greetings to the chicken?
Seeing that Su Kui didn't accept the cup, Gu Zheng smiled mischievously and asked, "I don't even hold grudges anymore, do you still?"
Opposite them, Zhao Zichu and Lu Xianglan showed contemptuous smiles and watched the show quietly.
Su Kui thought to herself that she came with Li Zao and represented Li Zao's face on the battlefield. Even if she could not help Li Zao to be evenly matched with the opponent, she could not let Li Zao fight alone.
So, she took the wine glass and touched it with Gu Zheng, "I wish you a long life!"
"cough……"
Gu Zheng took a sip of wine and almost spit it out.
Others couldn't help but laugh.
Zhuo Jingfan laughed the loudest.
Li Zao glanced over and said, "Lawyer Zhuo, aren't you going on a business trip for two months?"
The two of them sat facing each other, as far apart as possible, but Li Zao came across the mountains and seas forcefully and fired directly at him.
Zhuo Jingfan stopped smiling and looked embarrassed.
"It seems that Lawyer Zhuo's professional ability has improved again. He can do two months' worth of work in one week. But Lawyer Zhuo, you can't make enough money. Don't do everything just for money, or you will lose your life."
Zhuo Jingfan: "..."
He is a well-known barrister and a recognized celebrity.
But at this moment, he was rendered speechless by Li Zao's few words.
Who told him to do something unconscionable for his brother?!
Everyone present except Su Kui was surprised. Is this the Li Zao they knew? The Li Zao who was so quiet that he had no sense of presence?
Li Zao is also a loser. Anyway, these people will have nothing to do with her in the future. How they think of her is not important to her at all. She will not give face to anyone. The most important thing is that she is happy.
Besides, now it was Lu Xiangning who wanted something from her, Zhuo Jingfan felt ashamed of her, and Zhao Zichu didn't dare to pick on her. If she didn't try to make fun of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, when would she?
Lu Xianglan always vented her anger on the same side as her mother. She didn't even call Li Zao "sister-in-law" properly. When she saw this, she immediately scolded: "Li Zao, why are you speaking so rudely?! You are still a member of the Lu family now."
Young Mistress, you represent the Lu family in everything you say and do, you have to be careful!"
Li Zao glanced at the man beside him with his peripheral vision, "The eldest young master of the Lu family didn't say a word. Do you think he is dead?"
"I..." Lu Xianglan was filled with anger, and it was inevitable that he would speak indiscriminately, "Do you think my brother doesn't divorce because he loves you? My brother does it because..."
"Lu Xianglan!" A stern male voice interrupted, "If you don't want to eat, get out."
Lu Xianglan was speechless, feeling aggrieved in his heart. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
Zhao Zichu immediately grabbed her hand, moved it to her ear, and whispered to comfort her.
Lu Xiangning showed displeasure, "I didn't even call you in the first place, but I insisted on coming over."
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. After all, he was a friend who had known each other since he was wearing crotchless pants. He still had some understanding. Lao Lu was explaining this to Li Zao!
He watched the excitement without taking it too seriously and said, "Lao Lu, this is your fault. You brought Xiang Lan here, but you left alone and didn't care about her."
"It's just..." Lu Xianglan became more and more aggrieved.
Lan Zhicheng saw that everyone was tense and Gu Zheng was adding fuel to the fire, so he quickly changed the subject, "Aren't we all hungry? Eat quickly."
