Chapter 169: Banquet, neighbor with secret
In the evening, there was heavy traffic, and Shen Guanye drove back to the apartment.

"How are you adapting to work? Is it going well? How are your leaders and colleagues?"

In the car, Shen Zhizhu was concerned about his younger brother.

"It's all good."

Shen Guanye replied while parking the car.

Then he got out of the car, picked up the large and small bags of food in the car, and walked to the apartment.

Shen Zhizhu helped carry several bags and followed Shen Guanye up.

She bought this dish.

Her younger brother had taken up a new position and was living alone in an apartment. As a sister, she had to cook a big meal to comfort her.

Shen Zhizhu even secretly made up his mind to come over more often and cook more meals for Shen Guanye.

She was unforgiving in words, but she still cared about her two younger brothers in her heart.

The two siblings entered the house, and Shen Zhizhu hurriedly left.

Shen Guanye helped from the side.

In his previous life, he was one of the top ten good men, a perfect son-in-law candidate in the eyes of the elders, but he missed the one that could be talked about for the rest of his life.

There's only one obvious flaw: he can't cook.

When he was in school, it was because his family focused on studying and tried not to let chores like cooking distract him.

After working, he concentrated on his work again. In addition, he worked in poverty alleviation work all over the country and had no fixed place to eat. Most of the time, he just took lunch boxes and had no chance to practice his cooking skills.

Now that I have traveled through time, there is still no chance, so I can only be a fool who is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains.

On the other hand, Shen Zhizhu, although she comes from a rich family, has very good cooking skills.

When the meal was halfway done, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, there was a bookish middle-aged couple at the door.

"Professor Lu, Teacher Dong, please come in."

Shen Guanye smiled and welcomed the person into the house.

Professor Lu's name is Lu Demin. He is of medium build, wears black round-rimmed glasses, and wears a traditional Tianxia gown. He is elegant and bookish, and he looks very knowledgeable.

His wife, Teacher Dong, is a head shorter than him and has a curly perm that is popular nowadays. Her facial features are not beautiful, but her temperament is very gentle and her speech is like gurgling water.

The couple brought some fresh fruit to the door, which was very polite.

Hearing that Professor Lu and his wife had arrived, Shen Zhizhu came out to chat for a while even though he was cooking.

She had taken Professor Lu's Chinese language class and was considered Professor Lu's student.

As a student, you still need basic etiquette.

Only then did Professor Lu find out that Shen Guanye had a sister who was studying at Zhenlong University. He had an impression of Shen Zhizhu, after all, he had only taught her last semester.

But the impression was not deep. Shen Zhizhu's Chinese language was not excellent, and he was not one of the students who would come to him alone to ask questions after class, so it was naturally impossible for him to have a deep impression.

After a while, Angelina also knocked on the door. She was the foreign woman.

Angelina brought a bottle of red wine and greeted her warmly as soon as she entered. When she saw Shen Zhizhu, she praised her beauty, showing off the passionate and unrestrained character of Westerners.

After that, she chatted with Professor Lu and Teacher Dong.

Although Professor Lu is a Chinese teacher, Zhongxing Mandarin is also very good. Not to mention Teacher Dong, Zhongxing Mandarin is extremely fluent. It can be seen from the first glance that everyone is a lady.

Ordinary ladies, such as Shen Zhizhu and Su Jinyao, do not have the conditions to learn Zhongxing Mandarin so fluently.

While a few people were chatting, there was another knock on the door.

Very light, like a gust of wind blowing through the bamboo forest.

"I'll open the door."

Shen Guanye got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a pair of quiet mother and daughter, both short in height and wearing Tianxia clothes, but their demeanor and behavior could tell at a glance that they were Fusang women.The most gentle thing is the gentleness of the lowered head, like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze.

"Mrs. Inoue, Miss Inoue, please come in quickly."

Shen Guanye hurriedly invited the two people in. He didn't have a good impression of the Fuso Kingdom, but he didn't have any preconceived notions of ill will toward every Fuso citizen.

Besides, in this world.

In terms of hatred, the people of Tianxia hate the Star Kingdom the most, and the Fusang Kingdom does not even rank among the top three.

He could even treat Angelina as an equal, so how could he do anything to a Fuso mother and daughter?

"Mr. Shen, thank you for the invitation. This is a gift brought by my mother and I."

Inoue Qingxi lowered his head slightly and handed the Fuso-style gift box in front of Shen Guanye.

Behind her, Mrs. Inoue just smiled and said nothing.

Shen Guanye took the gift box and said, "You're welcome."

In the living room, Professor Lu, his wife, and Angelina couldn't hide their surprise when they saw Inoue's mother and daughter.

They didn't expect that Inoue mother and daughter would come to visit them.

You must know that this mother and daughter usually live in seclusion and are not used to dealing with other people. They have lived here for more than a year, and they have only met in person.

Not to mention visiting as a guest.

Like Teacher Dong, she was very polite. She had invited the mother and daughter to visit her very early on, but she was declined every time.

After two or three times, I stopped thinking about "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors" and just regarded them as acquaintances.

Unexpectedly, the two of them also accepted the invitation.

But after a second thought, several people felt relieved.

Shen Guanye is the director of the Public Security Department. This identity is very useful in a big city like Canglang City, where people are mixed. It won't hurt to get acquainted with him.

Several people came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Inoue Qingxi remembered that she had declined Teacher Dong's invitation several times before. This time, she came to the door as soon as Shen Guanye invited her, and a blush flashed on her fair cheeks.

Fortunately, everyone here is a decent person. Even Angelina, who seems to be outspoken, is actually very personable, so no one mentioned this at all.

In the living room, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Soon, Shen Zhizhu prepared the meal.

The sumptuous dishes were served, and Angelina opened the red wine she brought directly.

There were several talkative people present, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. Even the reticent Inoue Qingxi seemed to have opened his guard and talked a lot.

Shen Guanye smiled and chatted with everyone, while silently observing Professor Lu and his wife, and Inoue's mother and daughter.

That's right!

He certainly had a purpose in inviting his neighbors to his home.

Although he is indeed hospitable and friendly to others, he will not stay in this apartment for a long time. Under normal circumstances, it is normal not to interact with the neighbors.

However, Professor Lu and his wife and Inoue's mother and daughter really made him a little curious and - wary.

Professor Lu and his wife are both ordinary people on the surface, and Teacher Dong is indeed an ordinary person, but Professor Lu is not.

Professor Lu is not only no ordinary person, but also a master.

Even he didn't realize that the other party was actually an Apocalypse at first. It was Shang Kui who reminded him in the Kingdom of God that Professor Lu was an Apocalypse with considerable strength, so he became alert.

Being able to hide his senses, and even the feelings of the Night Evil God, Lady Mo Mei, and the Gu Jian Boy, only Shang Kui, the strongest, was aware of it. Professor Lu's strength must be extraordinary.

Either he is strong enough, or he possesses a powerful magical object that can conceal the identity of the Apocalypse, or both.

Either way, it shows that he is no ordinary person.
