Su Xiaomei snorted softly, but she turned and walked into the kitchen again.

"Hey, hey, thank you, Xiaomei." Qian Liming grinned and then said to Li Qing, "brother, you say it's strange. Why is Xiaomei so delicious after a bowl of ordinary porridge? I've been looking forward to this mouthful of rice porridge for many days."

"Qian Pang, don't do this. Who are you bluffing?" Su Xiaomei angrily said, "I didn't say I wouldn't give you a drink. As for flattering so hard, my tail will shake."

Qian Liming quickly raised a hand: "Xiaomei, I swear to God, there is absolutely no lie."

"Indeed." Li Qing nodded approvingly. "Her porridge tastes very special."

"You two are enough. You sing and play the double reed." Su Xiaomei murmured, came out of the kitchen, put the porridge bowl in front of Qian liming, and then sat down at the table.

"You're welcome." Qian Liming stirred it with a spoon, then put the rice porridge into his mouth and extended his thumb.

Li Qing picked up a piece of seafood cake and put it on the plate in front of Su Xiaomei: "try it. Lao Qian eats very fine. If he thinks it's good, it's not bad."

"Oh." Su Xiaomei nodded her head, lowered her head and took a small bite, "well, it's really delicious."

"Really?"

Su Xiaomei handed the plate to Li Qing and fed it to him with chopsticks: "then try it."

Li Qing leaned over and took a bite on the small exquisite tooth print of the seafood cake.

"Alas." Qian Liming sighed and put down the atherosclerotic bowl. "Can I say you two are so tired? I clearly brought a big box, and four people are enough to eat. What are you two doing?"

Su Xiaomei turned her big eyes: "can you manage it?"

Li Qing swallowed the things in his mouth and nodded seriously: "dead fat man, there are many things."

"OK, you two are reasonable. I can't say it alone." Qian Liming gently pulled the corners of his mouth and immediately asked, "brother, didn't you go to Xingfa island last night? How was the situation?"

"It's not optimistic." Li Qingshu said faintly, "Demeter sent someone to Xingfa island again. I don't know what to do. I informed the port inspector's office last night and asked them to pay more attention."

Qian Liming frowned: "didn't you go to find Zhao Zhen? Did you find it?"

Li Qing shook his head: "no, but I'm sure Zhao Zhen must not be on the island."

"How do you know?"

"Qian Hanling said."

Qian Liming couldn't help hissing: "just that little girl film, full of lies, do you still believe her? I'd rather believe lies."

"Zhao Zhen was seriously injured on amai island. He can't stay on Xingfa island and wait for me to find him."

Qian Liming's face changed slightly: "where do you think he's hiding, brother?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest." Li Qing's eyes coagulated slightly. "Maybe it's under our eyes."

"Under my nose?" Qian Liming opened his mouth. "Mingtai? It's impossible. If I were Zhao Zhen, I'd rather escape overseas and come back after recovering from my injury."

Li Qing shook his head: "de Mattel wants to make a big move. At this time, Zhao Zhen will never leave."

"Well, it makes sense..." Qian Liming raised his hand and rubbed his chin.

He thought for a moment and nodded: "yes, I'll tell the fierce son to find someone to check around. The boy is quite characteristic. He's easier to find in the boundary of Mingtai than Xiao Du."

"One more thing." Li Qing looked at Qian Liming opposite and said in a deep voice, "it's no secret that the inspector's office is going to start with de Mattel. Although Qian Hanling is very close to Zhao Zhen, she is your Qian family after all. What do you think? Don't you plan to pull her back?"

"Hey, she bullied me since she was a child. I didn't care about her because she was almost dead..." Qian Liming lowered his head and said in silence for a while, "but... My uncle is also old. Although I can't deal with this old guy, I still have a kinship after all..."

Li Qing looked at him inexplicably: "so?"

"So..." Qian Liming hesitated for a moment and immediately shook his head. "Oh, what do you want to do so early? Wait until something really happens. It's not certain whether there is room for me to mix in the things led by the inspector's office."

Li Qing knew that Qian liming was also very contradictory, so she didn't intend to press him again.

Su Xiaomei blinked her beautiful eyes and aimed at the two people. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, she directly turned off the topic: "Qian fatty, what did you do last night? I wasn't looking for you when I came back."

"Ah, I was just about to say it." Qian Liming suddenly came to his senses. "I went to talk about business last night."

Then he pushed the empty atherosclerotic bowl forward: "Xiaomei, help hold another bowl."

Su Xiaomei shouted angrily, "in the kitchen, go and serve yourself. Who will serve you?"

"Well, miss, you can rest and I'll get it myself." Qian Liming got up and walked into the kitchen with a smile. "I didn't come back until about one o'clock last night. You can't find me."

Su Xiaomei said, "what kind of business are you talking about so late? I think you've gone out to fool around. You've done those dishonest things all day."

Qian Liming's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiaomei, I have to talk about you. You're a young girl. What's on your mind? It's really unhealthy. If you want to talk about immorality, ask the one around you. This is the number one."

"Fuck off." Li Qing scolded angrily. "I ate honestly and didn't say anything? Why did it involve me again."

Qian Liming added, "to tell you the truth, I recently saw a house and was thinking about whether to buy it."

Li Qing frowned: "Lushui villa is so big that you can't live enough. Why do you keep buying a house?"

"Oh, my big brother, at least you Li family are also real estate. Why don't you understand this truth?" Qian Liming said, "You don't know what virtue house prices in northern Hong Kong have become? Mingtai has a good geographical location and economic foundation, and house prices will rise to heaven sooner or later. What I buy now is a house, but in a few years, it will turn into gold. What's this called? It's called investment."

"Well, that makes sense." Li Qing nodded, and then saw Qian Liming come out with a pot of porridge and put it on the table.

Li Qing stared: "are you a pig? Can't you save some for me? I haven't finished yet."

"Don't I bring you cakes? You should eat more dry food." Qian Liming grinned. "What's your relationship with Xiaomei? If you're greedy, he'll make it for you. We can't. We don't have that good life. It's not easy to catch a chance. Don't rob me."

"That's interesting..." Su Xiaomei tooted her mouth. "Just a little rice porridge, like robbing a baby, makes people feel strange..."

"As like as two peas," she sat down and beat her legs. "I drank your gruel, which is exactly the same as my grandma did." the money man was so good to me that she passed away at the age of ninety-eight.

"At the age of 98, you're still too young? You'll become a monster if you live any longer..." Su Xiaomei puffed her pink cheeks, stretched out her jade hand and stabbed Li Qing. "What about you? Who do you think of after drinking my porridge?"

Li Qing smiled: "your head is full of you."

"Hate it." Su Xiaomei said coyly, and a faint crimson rose on her pretty cheeks.

Although no one mentioned the matter last night, the relationship between the two of them was brought closer unconsciously.

"Oh." Qian Liming covered his cheeks and pretended to take a breath. "Even the porridge has turned sour. It's disgusting to hear you two are so disgusted."

"It's good to lose your appetite." Su Xiaomei glared at him gently. "If you can drink, go away."

"See? That's my attitude." Qian Liming sighed again and shook his head. "It's always the case since ancient times. Beauty is in the eyes of lovers, and the rest is shit."

Li Qing said, "you don't feel sick when you eat."

"Oh, by the way, I have something to do later." Qian Liming seems to suddenly think of something. "The house hasn't talked about lisuo yet. I have to go again."

Su Xiaomei couldn't help asking, "what kind of house is that? It wasn't over so late last night?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It's really a trouble." Qian Liming raised his hand, supported his forehead and said slowly, "it's an old house, over there in the Wenqu temple. It's atmospheric and antique, but it's a little old. I have to repair it well."

Su Xiaomei couldn't help but wonder: "isn't this good? Why bother?"

"This is the ancestral home of the Luo family in Mingtai. Their new house was built next to this ancestral home. Originally, the Luo family was also a famous family in Mingtai. However, with the overall economic downturn in recent years, life has been getting worse and worse. It's a decline in family life. They want to sell the ancestral home at a low price to make up for the deficit." Qian Liming said, "I went there in the mood of picking up bargains. I had almost talked about it, but I sent a fierce son to inquire around the house. Guess what?"

Su Xiaomei was curious: "ah? What's the matter?"

Qian Liming took a sip of porridge, raised his head and said mysteriously, "that house is haunted."

Li Qing and Su Xiaomei looked at each other, and they both laughed loudly.

"Lao Qian, what are you doing?" Li Qing smiled. "Where are ghosts in this world? Stop talking nonsense."

"Hiss, why don't you two believe it."

Li Qing stalled and smiled again, "how can we believe it? He kept saying there were ghosts. Have you seen them?"
