Chapter 220: Seeking Face

That weird idea even shocked Chen Shiying herself. No matter how good-looking Fu'er was, it didn't matter if she had a bad background. What's more, Chu Lingxuan has such a family, and his personality is also cold. He will definitely not love his wife, and it will not be easy to be his woman...

Chen Shiying was thinking about Chu Lingxuan's bad things, but his face was full of joy, and the closer he got to Tangyuan, the brighter his smile became.

Chu Lingxuan also had a smile on his face when he saw Chen Shiying floating over like a spring breeze. He took a few steps forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Chen, it's been a long time. Please, please."

Chen Shiying didn't have much contact with Chu Lingxuan, and they met no more than ten times in total. Regardless of his own perception, or the perception of his colleagues or friends, they all felt that although Chu Lingxuan had some real abilities, he was indifferent, had a weird temper, and had tough methods. This was the first time that he saw Chu Lingxuan's smile reach his eyes. He was a little stunned. This man's smile was not just a smile but a smile.

You are so passionate about yourself today, where did you sing it from?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, quickly clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Master Chu, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Chu Lingxuan smiled again and said, "Where, where, Mr. Chen can come today, Tangyuan is really flourishing. I heard that Mr. Chen likes to drink Zhuangyuanhong, and the wine has been prepared."

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and then they entered Tangyuan in a condescending manner.

At this time, Manager Luo hurried from Jiaomen to Fuyuan.

Chen Afu was looking at the two brocade boxes left by Chen Shiying in a daze. The purple brocade box contained a set of red gold inlaid with rubies, and the vermillion brocade box contained a complete set of red gold with emerald inlays.

The jewelry is sparkling and very beautiful. But she doesn't like it. She doesn't want Chen Shiying's things anymore, she doesn't want him to come to her often for excuses, and she doesn't want him to interfere in her life.

It seems inappropriate to insist on returning these two boxes. It made sense that Wang didn't want Chen Shiying's things, but she... Chen Shiying was right. Even if she didn't call him dad, this body was still his biological daughter, and her bloodline couldn't be changed. If in the previous life, his mother had done so many immoral things, she wouldn't admit it if she didn't admit it. But this was ancient times. Not to mention Chen Shiying, who had always wanted to repair the relationship between father and daughter, even his evil old woman. If the relationship was really confirmed by the outside world, he would not dare to openly disobey that dead old woman.

What's more, now, her relationship with the thick-legged Chu Lingxuan she has been hugging is so delicate...

When I was in trouble, I heard Shan Zi outside say, "Manager Luo is here."

Chen Afu quickly closed the box and invited him in.

Manager Luo smiled and said, "Miss Chen, my sister has been saying early this morning that she wants to eat the shredded chicken cold noodles you made by yourself. Dabao will also eat in Tangyuan, see if you can make some for them." He shook his head again. The bowl in his hand said, "Afraid that you don't have ready-made chicken at home, I brought half a cooked rooster from Tangyuan."

Chen Afu stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, I will make two bowls right away and let people take it to Tangyuan for them to eat."

Manager Luo smiled and thanked you, and then said earnestly, "Miss Chen, you are young after all, and you don't think well about some things. Uncle Luo just wants to remind you. Then Mr. Chen is...it's Miss Chen." Although you didn’t say it openly, you knew it in your heart. Master Chen came all the way to see you. As a daughter, you have to express your gratitude, right? If you do, others will say you are unfilial.”

Chen Afu was stunned. This was the first time that an outsider said that Chen Shiying was her father in front of her. Although I feel a little uncomfortable, this is an undeniable fact. He could only smile and say, "Okay, I'll do more..."

Only then did she realize that Chen Shiying and Chu Lingxuan were drinking together, and it was impossible for Chen Shiying to do it alone. She also understood somewhat that Manager Luo came to say this, asking her to serve Chu Lingxuan and save face for Chu Lingxuan. This is really a genius!

She quickly added, "Make more for Master Chen and Master Chu."

Manager Luo laughed and said, "Oh, Miss Chen is very transparent. My uncle has always been very kind to you and your Dabao, especially Dabao. He has been teaching him kung fu all morning..." Balabala said a lot. No matter how busy his uncle is, how can he find time to teach Dabao in his busy schedule?

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu." Then he took the bowl and went to the kitchen.

Aunt Zeng had already cooked a few dishes. She thought Master Chen would be dining in Fuyuan, so she cooked a few more dishes.

Chen Afu asked Aunt Zeng to knead the dough, while she tore the chicken from the bones and cut it into shreds, blanched the mung bean sprouts she had made in boiling water and took them out, then boiled the peanut oil and let it cool.

Boil the cut noodles, mix with the cooled peanut oil, shake and let cool, then mix with various seasonings, finally add some crushed peanuts, it's ready, mix it in two small pots.

Aunt Zeng on the side sniffed and said with a smile, "The cold noodles made by the eldest lady are really delicious, even better than those made in restaurants in Beijing."

Chen Afu said, "It would be more delicious if there were cucumbers."

Manager Luo was so happy that he ran back to Tangyuan carrying two basins.

Seeing that there were many dishes, Chen Afu took two more dishes to Luyuan. But he saw Mrs. Wang with red eyes, sitting on the kang in a daze. The food on the kang table had not been touched yet.

When Mrs. Wang saw Chen Afu coming, she forced her face to smile and asked her to sit on the kang.

Chen Afu asked, "Why is mom crying?"

Wang said, "I think about your uncle and feel sad."

Chen Afu secretly thought, maybe she knew that Chen Shiying was here and remembered the past again, right?

Chen Afu sat on the kang and advised, "Don't be sad, mother. Lord Chu has said that they will continue to help find it." Then, he accompanied Wang to eat lunch.

As the two of them ate, Chen Afu whispered again, "Lord Chen came to Fuyuan."

Wang was not surprised. In the morning, she had heard a few words from him in Fuyuan. Even if the voice was not loud, she could tell it was from him. She continued to eat with her head down, and asked casually, "What is he doing in Fuyuan?"

Chen Afu said, "He gave mother a set of headgear."

Wang raised her head and said, "No, mother will not want his things anymore, Afu will give it back to him."

Chen Afu said, "I also said that mother will not want his things anymore. He said, mother does not want it, so let me keep it." He also talked about the two young men that Chen Shiying had recommended to her.

Wang listened to the two young men very seriously, and then she even smiled and said, "Mother also thinks that the young man from the Zhou family is not bad. He is already a scholar, with good knowledge and character. If he passes the imperial examination in the future, even if he fails to pass the imperial examination, he will have a way to get him a government position. Both the young man and his son will rely on him to live a good life, and you will definitely not be bullied when you get married. Forget about the other young man, the children of officials are all arrogant, and mother is afraid that they will look down on your background and Dabao."
