When Lan Zheng was a child, he was almost poisoned to death several times. Although he was too young at that time and had no memory of it, Aunt Ling told him.
The loyal nannies beside him had suffered for him. Although they were all rescued in the end, he was still afraid and on guard.
Su Su took a sip of warm water, stood up, and walked to the door of the small kitchen. She put her hands in her trouser pockets and watched Lan Zheng open the refrigerator and take out the ingredients.
"What are you going to do?"
Susu asked casually.
"You've come a long way and you're hungry again. I'm too rich and it takes time. You can't afford to wait. So I'll give you a bowl of noodles as a midnight snack."
Su Su smiled and said, "You made a good decision. I can't wait too long."
Before dawn, she had to rush back to City A to avoid being known by her sister.
It was really not easy for her to come here.
"Are you good at cooking?"
"It's just so so. Anyway, the cooked food is edible and it won't be dark cuisine."
Lan Zheng washed the pot, put water in it, boiled it first, and then added the noodles.
At the same time, he also prepared shredded pork, green vegetables, and chopped green onions, intending to give Susu a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
"When I eat noodles, I like to add a fried egg."
"Can."
After Lan Zheng prepared the shredded pork, green vegetables and chopped green onions, he heard that Su Su said he liked to add a fried egg. He immediately took out two eggs from the refrigerator and fried the eggs for Su Su.
When he opened the refrigerator door, Susu saw everything in the refrigerator and said, "Do you make midnight snacks every night?"
"I eat it when I'm hungry, but I rarely eat noodles."
Usually the bodyguard on duty borrows the noodles from his kitchen for a midnight snack.
Some of his bodyguards particularly like to eat noodles.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the young master of the Lan family lived such a hard and tiring life."
Xu Susu sighed and sympathized.
Lan Zheng is the young master of the Lan family. He may seem to be enjoying great success, but his life is actually not as good as that of ordinary people.
It is also the Lan family, a big family with a big business and too many people. If there are too many people, it is easy for people to have different ideas. If they have different ideas, all kinds of conspiracies and schemes will breed.
Some people will do anything for their own benefit.
Xu Susu thought of the Xu family and how her sister had suffered too much and endured too much in order to preserve the Xu family's business and revive the Xu Group over the years. She could sympathize with Lan Zheng's situation.
Those who want to rob the Xu Group are not as ruthless as those from the Lan family, and will go to the extent of killing people.
Born and raised in this circle, I have witnessed too many disputes among rich families over family property, but the Jun family is the most enviable and admired.
The children and grandchildren trained by the Jun family are all very capable, and they all want to support their own blue sky with their own strength. No one is willing to take over the family business, but they have to share some of the responsibility for the family business.
Originally, Ye Junbo took his mother's surname, and he should take over Ye's company. However, because his younger brother was unwilling to take over Fengchen Group, his cousins all pushed the position of successor to others.
Ye Junbo, the eldest brother who took his mother's surname, had no choice but to take the lead. In fact, he knew it in his heart. Because he was raised by his grandparents since he was a child, he had long been the designated successor.
Lan Zheng remained silent.
Before he found Qingqing, he thought that all wealthy families were like the Lan family.
After finding Qingqing and gaining a brother-in-law, Lan Zheng learned that there were alternative wealthy families like the Jun family. Meeting parents like Jun Lifu and Ye Aijun simply refreshed his understanding of wealthy families.
"I heard that you spent hundreds of thousands to hire someone to investigate me."
Xu Susu got to the point.
Lan Zheng hummed, "Thanks to your help last time, I was able to escape from danger. You saved my life, but I don't know your name, so I can't repay you. I don't like to owe people favors, so I want to
Find you and thank you."
Xu Susu wanted to ask him why he sent people to stare at her again, but she swallowed the words.
If she asked like that, she would be admitting that she was Xu Susu.
Xu Susu had carefully considered this trip tonight.
Only after she showed up and asked Lan Zheng to thank her, Lan Zheng would no longer let her detective agency look for her. She could have Lan Zheng's deposit refunded to Lan Zheng, which could be regarded as saving the face of the detective agency.
But no one can doubt that the name of her detective agency was blown out.
But she still doesn't want to admit that she is Xu Susu.
"It's just a small effort, and it's really an honor for me to have Young Master Lan take it to heart."
Lan Zheng turned his head to look at her, then turned his head again and put the chopped ingredients into the noodle soup.
"I said, I don't want to owe anyone any favors. To you, it's a simple effort, to me, it's a life-saving grace. If I don't thank you, girl, I will always remember it in my heart."
"Can I ask my benefactor's name?"
After Xu Susu was silent, she said: "Can I refuse to answer? This line of work I do is also very dangerous. In order to save my life, I always wear a mask, and I don't want to harm my family or my surname.
I confided because I was afraid of being found out."
"I have a good mouth and can keep my mouth shut. Besides, you are my savior. I will not let your last name out, expose your identity and put you in danger."
Lan Zheng helped Xu Susu fill a bowl of shredded pork noodles, put a fried egg on the noodles, walked out of the small kitchen with the bowl of noodles, and entered the small restaurant next to the small kitchen.
Xu Susu was not polite to him, so she sat down at the dining table and watched him return to the kitchen and bring out another bowl of noodles.
Seeing that there was a lot of shredded meat in his bowl of noodles, Xu Susu couldn't help but said in her heart: You can't just judge people by their appearance. A cold and cold man like Lan Zheng is actually a very considerate person.
"If you don't want to reveal your name, can you take off your mask and let me see your benefactor's true face?"
Xu Susu: "..."
She started eating noodles.
Because she is really hungry.
When Lan Zheng saw that she was starting to eat, he didn't ask any more questions. The two of them ate the noodles in silence. Maybe because someone was accompanying them, Lan Zheng actually thought that the noodles he ordered were particularly delicious.
After solving the problem of the five internal organs temple, Lan Zheng got up again, packed up the dishes and went to wash them.
Xu Susu allowed him to do these things because she was a guest and he did not let the guest wash the dishes, which was the way he should treat guests.
"Young Master Lan has a grateful heart, and I think you are not willing to force others to make things difficult for you."
Lan Zheng stopped washing the dishes, turned to look at Xu Susu for a moment, then turned back and continued washing the dishes, saying, "In that case, just pretend I didn't ask."
Xu Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
What Lan Zheng was thinking was that since this masked girl came to him and sneaked into his room without anyone noticing, it meant that this girl was very skilled and he didn't want to fall out with her.
Maybe there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
