Detective Ace's Forensic Wife

Chapter 181 The Unfathomable Old Man

Several people quickly took their seats, Xiu Cheng sat on the main seat, Xiu Lingzhi and Chu Weiyin sat on his right, and Aron and Lianqiao sat on his left.

Chu Weiyin suddenly understood the old man.

He was not as fierce as he appeared on the surface, he was just pretending.He has such a large family property, but he is in charge of it alone.

It was like at this moment, he was sitting at a huge dining table, but there were only five people eating together.

Both Zu Lingzhi and she were reluctant to be invited here.Forsythia, although she respects Xiucheng on the surface, Chu Weiyin can tell that this girl is not that simple.

As for Aron, this guy looks heartless, but he is actually heartless, he likes to tease people, and he likes freedom, otherwise he wouldn't be so stupid as to give up the property his mother fought for.

Chu Weiyin sighed slightly.

Zu Lingzhi turned his head to look at her, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Weiyin noticed that Xiucheng's gaze deepened, and then immediately shook her head, "No, I just... just look at these meals and think they are delicious."

After Chu Weiyin finished speaking, she glanced at Xiucheng again, and the old man's complexion became much better.

Qu Lingzhi was really tricking her, how could he ask such an embarrassing question in front of the old man, Chu Weiyin stretched out her foot under the table, and lightly touched Zu Lingzhi's.

If only he could understand what he meant.

The guy turned his head to look at her, and then raised his eyebrows, "Don't be cautious, just treat it as your own home, eat whatever you want, and tell me the dishes you can't get."

Chu Weiyin nodded calmly, and then buried her head.

What the hell is this guy thinking!

Lian Qiao looked at the interaction between the two and smiled slightly: "Miss Chu, you and Ling Zhi are..."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Chu Weiyin couldn't understand it very well. She explained: "Miss Lian, I am now the assistant of Professor Xiu."

"Assistant?" Lian Qiao smiled: "Then you and him are the same major?"

"No, I'm a forensic major."

After Chu Weiyin finished speaking, she noticed that Xiucheng was looking at her: "Are you a forensic doctor?"

She nodded.

"A girl going to do forensic medicine?" Xiucheng looked at her, just when she thought he was going to say that she was brave, the old man suddenly turned a corner, which she did not expect.

"It's not always good for girls to do this job. If you want, I can offer you a job."

After Xiucheng finished speaking, Chu Weiyin was dumbfounded, why did she have to give her a job?After the initial shock, she realized that the old man wanted to keep Zu Lingzhi in the same way as she did, but of course she refused.

But basically, she knew that Zu Lingzhi was doomed.But... Chu Weiyin has some headaches, she really doesn't want to marry a rich man, even though this person is Zu Lingzhi, even though there are no family disputes in his family, even though she has fallen in love with him silently.

Chu Weiyin's eyes were full of thoughts, but she still behaved elegantly at the table and kept silent.

Xiucheng's sharp eyes flashed across Chu Weiyin's face silently, and then fell on Zu Lingzhi's slender fingers.

Zuo Lingzhi was peeling the shrimp at this time, and when he noticed Xiu Cheng's gaze, he gave a barely audible meal with his fingers, and put the shrimp that was going to be put into Chu Weiyin's bowl into Xiu Cheng's bowl.He wiped his fingers slowly, then tilted his head and hooked his lips towards Xiu Cheng——

"Grandpa, please use." After finishing the words, he even made a gesture of 'please'.

Chu Weiyin squinted her eyes, the hand of Forsythia pickling vegetables stopped, and Aron opened his mouth even more.

Everyone in this family except Chu Weiyin knows that Xiucheng is proud and advocating perfection, which is almost harsh.The young masters have been strictly managed by Xiucheng since they were young.Only Zu Lingzhi is an exception. When he was a child, Zu Lingzhi did not study well, and he was not doing his job properly every day. He always read some bloody and violent books. Xiucheng was disappointed.Since Zu Lingzhi graduated from university and was promoted to a Ph.D., this was the first time the two met and spoke for the first time.

But now, although Xiucheng's attitude is not very good, Zuo Lingzhi's move of peeling shrimp has to be thought deeply.

Zuo Lingzhi tilted his head to watch Xiucheng's every move. The latter held the silver chopsticks, and then picked up the shrimp and chewed gently.After a while, Fang Lang asked, "Is this shrimp a freshwater shrimp?"

Hearing the sound, a woman came out of the kitchen, lowered her head and said, "Yes, the shrimps were just caught today."

Xiu Cheng pursed the corners of his lips: "It's not as good as yesterday's seawater shrimp." Then he glanced at Chu Weiyin: "From now on, don't serve this kind of unsuitable shrimp."

The woman glanced at Chu Weiyin quietly, then turned and left after a reply.

Chu Weiyin's fingers froze when he heard the words, and then understood what Xiucheng meant.A freshwater creature like her should never appear in this turbulent deep sea.

She lowered her eyebrows and didn't refute, because Xiu Cheng had something to say, and because he was an elder, she couldn't refute.

But Lingzhi would not let it go, he put the silver chopsticks on the table with a 'ding' sound, crossed his hands, and smiled slightly: "Why is freshwater shrimp not suitable for the occasion?" Then he said: "I prefer My favorite is freshwater prawns, and I have never been used to the taste of deep-sea prawns since I was a child."

Xiucheng snorted coldly when he heard the words, but suddenly looked at Chu Weiyin.

After Chu Weiyin found out, she paused and heard Xiu Cheng ask, "Where is Miss Chu? What do you think?"

Chu Weiyin slowly put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, raised her head and saw the mocking smile lines on the corners of Lianqiao's mouth.She squinted her eyes almost inaudibly, and turned her head to meet Shang Xiucheng's cold gaze——

"Sorry, I never eat seafood, so I can't comment!"

Xiucheng was taken aback when he heard the words.

Forsythia pursed her lips.

Aron's mouth fell open.

There was a slight smile in Zu Lingzhi's eyes, and Chu Weiyin said again suddenly: "But now I feel that the freshwater shrimp tastes good. I think it must be because your master cooks it very well, so I don't eat it all the time. I can’t help but want to eat more seafood.”

Aron raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks and brushed the curly bangs on his forehead, and smiled slightly: "Miss Chu eats more if she likes it."

"Of course!" Chu Weiyin looked away from Aron, then turned her head to Xiucheng and said, "Thank you very much for making me like the taste of shrimp."

Xiu Chengpi snorted without a smile, "Miss Chu, you're welcome."

Zu Lingzhi didn't say anything during the whole process. Not long after Chu Weiyin finished speaking, Zu Lingzhi began to "blind" with all his strength. The shrimp skins piled up layer after layer, and the shrimp meat was also in Chu Weiyin's bowl. A small layer was piled up inside.

Chu Weiyin didn't really think that the shrimp was delicious, but she was tied up for no reason, and she was accused by Xiucheng for no reason, so she felt uncomfortable, so she contradicted her a few words.

I don't know if it's because Zu Lingzhi pretended not to understand or really didn't understand, but he stripped almost all the shrimps on the plate and put them into her bowl.Chu Weiyin didn't intend to treat herself badly, not to mention that this was the first time someone peeled shrimp for her, she still had to eat it, it didn't matter how much she ate.

After Chu Weiyin finished eating the steamed stuffed bun and shrimp meat, she turned her head to Zu Lingzhi and said, "I'm full, you can eat!"

Zu Lingzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "The freshwater shrimp here is not something you can eat whenever you want, are you sure you don't want to eat more?"

Chu Weiyin shook her head, "I'm full."

Hearing this, Zu Lingzhi brought over the shrimp in her hand and raised her eyebrows: "Don't cry with me if you can't eat it in the future."

Chu Weiyin laughed, "...No."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Xiucheng frowned, and then looked at Lianqiao: "Little Lianqiao, how is your project in the United States going?"

Hearing this, Lian Qiao put down the chopsticks in her hand, sat up straight, and said with a slight smile, "Fortunately, if it wasn't for Uncle Xiu and Aunt Jing's advice, I wouldn't have come back so early."

Chu Weiyin noticed that Zu Lingzhi's hand paused, and then moved it as if nothing had happened.

There are two people who can be called uncles by Lian Qiao, one is a deceased cultivator, and the other is Zu Lingzhi's father. Judging from the actions of Zu Lingzhi just now, what Lian Qiao said is the son of Zu Lingzhi parents.

"Uncle and aunt are in the United States?" Aron's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he asked again, "Then when will they come back?"

Lian Qiao shook her head: "They didn't say anything, they just asked me about Ling Zhi's situation."

Aron responded, "This guy is very good, uncle won't worry about him."

Xiucheng snorted when he heard the words, put down his chopsticks and stood up: "The XC press conference will be held in three days, so think about it these few days."

Xiucheng didn't mention his name, but Zuo Lingzhi also knew that Xiucheng's words were addressed to him, so he gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the politeness he should have was still the same——

"Yes, Grandpa!"

After this meal, it wasn't a bad breakup, at least Zu Lingzhi let go at the last moment and said to think about it.

But as for what he thinks, whether he will go back and take over xc, this is not something Chu Weiyin should think about, but she has never been angry like this since she was a child.

Today, it can be regarded as being "educated"!
Xiucheng got up to leave, Chu Weiyin stood up, Lianqiao immediately went up when she saw this, and helped Xiucheng, "Grandpa Xiu, let me help you up!"

Xiu Cheng brushed away Lian Qiao's hand lightly, "I'm not old enough yet, you stay and chat with them."

The old man left after finishing his speech. Lianqiao was a little embarrassed to be rejected for his courteousness. Aron stood aside, and when Xiucheng was completely gone, he looked at Lianqiao with a smile on his face.

"Like I said, the old man's temperament is not easy to think about. You think he likes you, but he may not necessarily like you. You think he doesn't like you, but maybe he likes you."

After finishing speaking, Aron glanced at Chu Weiyin, walked over and looked down at her: "I think the old man likes you."

Chu Weiyin pointed at herself in surprise, "How is that possible? I guess I'm probably the one he dislikes the most."

"Why do you look down on yourself so much?" Aron scratched his head: "You can't belittle yourself, even when I heard about your major, I admire you, I admire you to death!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Chu Weiyin a thumbs up.

Chu Weiyin shook her head and laughed, why is this guy so cute.
