Bai Qing was shocked by the cold oppression on the man sitting on the sofa. It took her a while to recover, and she smiled and stretched out her hand, "Hello, Mr. Li, I'm very happy to hear that you and Mr. Shen are cousins." You can accompany Mr. Shen to our home as a guest."
The man raised his eyes lightly. There was no wave in his deep eyes, and his eyes did not linger on Bai Qing. He glanced over and responded coldly, "Yes."
Bai Qing never expected that Young Master Li would be so arrogant. Even if he has a noble status, he shouldn't be so disrespectful, right?
She greeted him so politely, but even if he didn't stand up to respond, her attitude was still so cold!
Bai Qing is the number one socialite in the country and has countless suitors. Usually when men see her, they show off their admiration or admiration. This is the first time that they are so indifferent to her.
I heard that Mr. Li is married. Can such an outstanding man be so self-disciplined after marriage? He won’t even look at other women.
The atmosphere was a little awkward again. Shen Muhan smiled softly and said, "Miss Bai must be tired when she came back just now. Why don't we sit down and chat?"
Bai Qing nodded, "Okay, Mr. Shen, please sit down."
The atmosphere relaxed and everyone sat down together, but Li Heming stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom, excuse me."
Mr. Bai quickly ordered, "Someone, take Young Master Li to the bathroom."
Hou, a servant at the side, took the order: "Yes."
…
Without that oppressive man, the atmosphere in the living room became much more relaxed.
Shen Muhan smiled and explained, "Don't mind, everyone. He Ming is just like that. He is born with a bad face, so don't worry about it."
Mr. Bai didn't dare to echo Mr. Shen's words. They were cousins and it didn't matter how they hurt each other, but he couldn't.
Mr. Bai said: "It is reasonable for a person as big as Mr. Li to have a different personality. By the way, Mu Han, how are your parents' health recently? I heard that your mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized a while ago?"
Shen Muhan said: "My father is still the same as before. My mother has recovered and been discharged from the hospital. If you take good care of yourself, there will be no serious problems."
"Well, that's good." Mr. Bai nodded blessingly, then turned to look at his wife, and said: "Madam, didn't you say you had a call for me? Who called me."
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment, "...what phone number?"
Mr. Bai winked secretly.
Only then did Mrs. Bai realize it, and said hurriedly: "...Oh, yes, yes, I remembered it. It was a call from Lao Zhang, asking you to call him back when you have time. I am getting old, and my memory is not good. Okay, I almost forgot!"
Mr. Bai stood up and said, "Muhan, Qingqing, you two chat first, let's go call our friends first."
Bai Qing saw through her parents' thoughts at a glance and smiled, "Yeah."
Shen Muhan smiled, "My uncle and aunt can go if they have anything to do. It doesn't matter to me."
Just like that, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai used their eyes to signal the servants to stay away, and then they went upstairs together, leaving the two children some space alone.
…
After the two elders left, the two young people looked at each other and smiled.
Bai Qing spoke first, "Actually, I have always heard about Mr. Shen's glorious deeds. He is very romantic and handsome."
Shen Muhan elegantly picked up the tea and took a sip before looking at her with a raised eyebrow and a smile, "Why, Miss Bai is scared?"
Bai Qing looked at him with great interest and smiled, "Mr. Shen is so charming, why should I be afraid? On the contrary, I think Mr. Shen is very interesting and should be different from the rumors."
Shen Muhan raised the corners of his lips indifferently, "Really?"
"Of course!" Bai Qing felt that after her parents went upstairs, the man talked significantly less, as if his gentlemanly and talkative behavior just now were just out to be polite to his elders.
Shen Muhan drank tea leisurely and did not look for a topic to talk about.
Bai Qing had no choice but to find the topic by herself, "Mr. Shen, in a few days our Bai family will host an exhibition to introduce a batch of patented medical devices recently developed by our Bai family to well-known domestic entrepreneurs. You are welcome then. Come to give me some guidance?"
With his signature smile on his face, Shen Muhan said: "I heard that I came here just to participate in this exhibition and learn about the latest products of Bai's Pharmaceutical Group. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Although we Shen There are several good private hospitals under the company, but I don’t know much about medicine myself, so I have to ask Miss Bai to give me some insights!"
Bai Qing smiled and said deliberately: "So Mr. Shen didn't come here just to see me?"
Shen Muhan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Of course, I came here mainly to meet the beauty. Miss Bai is more interesting than I thought."
Bai Qing winked charmingly, "Why, do you think that Mr. Shen thought I was a boring person before he came here?"
Shen Muhan said: "Some of the reputations of the first ladies, I thought Miss Bai always had some attitude and rules attached to her. Surprisingly, Miss Bai is not so rigid and is very cheerful and generous."
Bai Qing smiled confidently, "When you really get to know me, you will find that I am more interesting than you think now!"
Shen Muhan smiled, and the cell phone in his suit pocket suddenly rang.
"Sorry, wait a moment."
He said something very gentlemanly and elegant, then took out his cell phone that had just rang, opened the screen and saw that it was a work document sent by his subordinate. After opening the document and scanning it roughly, he replied to his subordinate with a few words.
Then exit the chat box with your subordinates.
He was going to lock the screen and put away his phone, but when he saw the name of the friend pinned to the top, his expression paused...
The name of the star friend he pinned is [Xiao Yanyan]. The last time the two of them chatted was three days ago. He said good night, but she didn't reply.
There has been no contact for three days, and she has not asked him if he is still alive.
Sure enough!
Licking a dog, licking until there is nothing left.
Seeing that he seemed to have finished replying to the message, Bai Qing said, "Mr. Shen, although this blind date was not arranged voluntarily by our families, we are actually going to get married sooner or later. So since we are so well-matched , and we all think the other person is very interesting, why not just follow the elders’ wishes and try to understand each other, what do you think?”
Shen Muhan came back to his senses, raised his beautiful eyes to look at Bai Qing, who was showing her kindness to him, but was not as frivolous as other women. He was a little absent-minded, and then smiled and said:
"Ms. Bai has just succumbed to her family's arrangements like this? Don't you expect to meet your own Mr. Right?"
Bai Qing smiled helplessly, "Mr. Right? I don't even believe that! Although there are many people in the world, it is also a big world, and the probability of meeting true love is too small. I am no longer a teenager who is ready to make a move. Girls will no longer have such unrealistic fantasies. Mr. Shen, I have a crush on you. If you don’t hate me, we can really give it a try."
She expressed her thoughts freely and generously, making people feel that she was very honest and comfortable.
Bai Qing's reputation as the number one socialite is not for nothing.
Shen Muhan smiled faintly, stared at Bai Qing for a while, lowered his head and was about to put the phone away, but at this moment he saw a new message from his mother——
[Bunny, I heard that you and Qingqing have already met! Take me seriously and have a good chat! Your mother, my dream of being a young grandmother depends on you to come true? If you don’t marry a wife and have children, my mother will be old!]
Shen Muhan: "..."
My mother has been in poor health for the past two years, but her obsession with having a grandson has become stronger and stronger.
After Shen Muhan thought deeply, he replied to his mother: "I will make your wish come true immediately."
Then, with his long fingers, he unstarred and deleted the friend named [Xiao Yanyan], and deleted the reserved chat box. The chat history of the past five years was gone, just like his ridiculous obsession. , gone.
Putting away his phone, Shen Muhan raised his head and smiled at the eldest lady of the Bai family, "Well, what Miss Bai said makes sense, how about the two of us give it a try?"
Bai Qing also smiled happily, "I believe that the two of us will be a good match."
Shen Muhan: "I hope so."
…
on the other side,
After Li Heming left the living room, he did not follow the maid who led the way to the bathroom, but went straight to the direction where the scarred maid just went...
The servant of the Bai family realized that Mr. Li had not followed, so he quickly chased after him and said:
"Young Master Li, the bathroom is over there, and this is the road leading to the kitchen. The smell of oil smoke is very strong."
The man ignored the servant and walked forward with a sullen face...
The servant had no choice but to follow carefully...
…
In the back kitchen.
The little maid with a scar on her face was standing quietly in front of the head chef with her head lowered, waiting to receive criticism.
The head chef had heard about what happened in the living room and was very disappointed and angry with her, but looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, he couldn't say any words of blame.
The maid Bilian, who has always disliked girls, took the lead and said:
"Chef, look, you have to let this ugly monster deliver snacks to such a distinguished guest. What will happen? She broke the snacks and scared the guests. You might as well let us go!"
"That's right! She messed up such a simple thing!"
"Looking back, the master and his wife will definitely blame our entire kitchen!"
The head chef sighed in disappointment, "Girl, what's wrong with you today! I usually see you being very calm in your work, and I want to give you a chance to perform well. Why did you slip up at the critical moment?"
The girl just shook her head to show that she didn't mean it, and then lowered her head to show that she was willing to accept the punishment.
The head chef looked at her with disgust and couldn't bear to be harsh. He waved his hands irritably, "Forget it, forget it, you don't have to work in the front anymore, just work in the backend, and try not to appear in front of the master and his wife!"
The girl nodded to show her compliance,
But Bilian was very dissatisfied and said: "Chef, you said forget it? Just now in front of the two distinguished guests, the master and his wife did not blame her! But after the incident, the master and his wife will definitely be angry with us when they are free. You deducted our wages! You pity this ugly creature, you are willing to bear the loss caused by her, but we are not willing!"
"That's right!"
"I think she just broke the snack just because she wanted to attract the handsome guy's attention!"
"With her virtues, she still wants a handsome guy to pay attention to her, how shameless!"
"How can she have any shame in what you said?"
"An ugly guy still wants to seduce a handsome guy? He doesn't think he's disgusting!"
At this time, a little kid ran over angrily and ran in front of the little maid called Yatou. He opened his arms to protect his mother and glared fiercely at the bullying maids, "Go away! You are not allowed.
You're talking about my mommy like that! You're disgusting, you're ugly!"
When Bi Lian saw the little boy, she became even more angry, "You little bastard is not a good person! Just in time, I haven't even settled the account with you for tripping me just now!"
As she said this, she was about to attack the little boy, and the girl quickly knelt down to protect her son in her arms...
The head chef couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop Bilian, "You're done, aren't you? The mother and son are also poor people. Is it necessary for you to be so aggressive?"
Bi Lian had no intention of settling the matter, "Chef, poor people must be hateful. Haven't you heard of this sentence? She has done something wrong and she must pay the price she deserves!"
The other maids shouted, "That's right! She obviously did something wrong and got into trouble!"
The head chef was outnumbered and said helplessly: "Okay, aren't you just afraid that my wife will be angry and deduct your wages? I just sent her to serve snacks, and I am responsible for this matter. If my wife really blames the Queen,
If the chef wants to deduct everyone’s wages, I’ll bear it for you! Is that okay with the boss?”
The maids had nothing to say now. It would be best if someone would bear the fine.
However, Bilian was reluctant and said with some suspicion: "Chef, I have noticed a long time ago that you seem to be particularly protective of mother and son? Do you like this ugly monster?"
The maids were stunned for a moment, then couldn't hold back their laughter...
Hahaha! Isn’t that right? Does the chef have such a strong taste?
The head chef was so angry that his face turned red. He was just being kind, but he was said to be like this!
I really couldn’t explain this kind of thing, so I just ignored it and said, “You stinky girls, just do whatever you want! I don’t care about you anymore!”
After saying that, the head chef retreated and turned to prepare the dishes!
The girl picked up her son and wanted to avoid them, but was blocked by Bilian and others...
"Ugly, you did something wrong and brought us down. Your son even tripped me today! Now, you mother and son kneel down and apologize to us, and we won't argue with you mother and son! Otherwise, we won't be able to get through this matter today!"
The girl didn't want to argue with her, so she hugged her son and tried to get around her...
But Bilian blocked her again and pushed her, "If you don't kneel down and apologize to me, you mother and son won't be able to leave today!"
The girl raised her head and looked at Bilian expressionlessly, her eyes gradually darkening...
Bi Lian felt a little scared because of the look in her eyes, "You... what's your expression? How dare you glare at people when you do something wrong?"
"Kneel down quickly! Otherwise we will file a complaint with Aunt Liu and ask Aunt Liu to deduct all your salary for this month! Aunt Liu doesn't like you anyway!"
The girl's face turned cold, there was a murderous look in her eyes, and she clenched her fists...
"If you don't even work, what's the point of gathering together to make a fuss? It's just a joke to the guests!"
Someone suddenly scolded them.
This time it’s not the chef’s voice!
The maids turned around when they heard the sound, shocked...
The person who had just scolded them was Adong, the master's personal servant.
The most important thing is not Adong, but the tall and handsome figure next to Adong!
Yes...it's Mr. Li!
Oh my god, why did Mr. Li come to their back kitchen? There is so much fumes here!
