Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 452 Borrowing fish to talk things over
Li Xiang looked at Mr. Ma's funny way of leaving the scene.

He actually laughed out loud uncontrollably.

He immediately realized that something was wrong!
Because Li Xiang didn't think about how to word his explanation.

So I just kept pretending to be stupid.

But the laughter just now revealed his motive that he didn't want to explain.

How to do?
He let out a sigh of relief.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and explained:

"Zhang Ling, first of all, I want to say that you and I are both adults. Adults should have brains that can think independently."

Zhang Ling subconsciously said "hmm" first.

But he quickly realized something was wrong and said:

"No. Li Xiang, what you said just now were insinuations that I have no brains?"

How dare Li Xiang directly answer Zhang Ling's question.

Because even if he denies it.

Given the current tense atmosphere between him and Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling is destined not to believe it completely.

He coughed lightly and then said emphatically:

"Adults should have brains that can think independently. Otherwise, even if we are adults, we will still be ignorant children."

Zhang Ling because of what Li Xiang said.

Even though she felt very uncomfortable.

But he still endured the discomfort and said:

"Okay. I won't ask anymore. You continue with your explanation."

Li wanted to say:
"There's really no explanation to be honest."

When he saw Zhang Ling's face, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He immediately signaled to Zhang Ling not to worry and at the same time changed his words:
"However, if you insist on asking me to explain, I can still explain."

at this time.

Zhang Ling spoke again obviously impatiently:

"Then why are you still talking about this nonsense? You should hurry up and say it!"

Zhang Ling thought Li wanted to explain something in just one sentence.

But Li Xiang was like some short videos with catchy titles circulating on the Internet.

The short video talks nonsense for a few minutes from beginning to end.

In the end, I still didn’t talk about what the video title mentioned.

That is a waste of emotional irritation!
And it's not that Li Xiang doesn't want to speak quickly.

He really hasn't thought of what to say yet?
That's why I say these useless nonsense to delay time.

Trying to help him think of the answer Zhang Ling wanted as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Li Xiang thought of it in time.

So he appropriately relaxed his tense nerves and said:
"I clearly remember that you clearly used the word 'vaguely' in your expression just now, right?"

Zhang Ling nodded and said "Yeah".

Li Xiang raised an imperceptible smile on his lips and continued:

"That's right. I'm sure that your thinking was disturbed by Mr. Ma just now. So it created an illusion that even you yourself are not sure about."

When Zhang Ling said the word "really", it was enough to prove one thing.

Her soft heart began to waver because of Li Xiang's words.

Li Xiang's tense nerves were almost completely relaxed.

But his crisis was not over.

So he tried his best to nod at Zhang Ling naturally and confidently and said:
"Of course! Zhang Ling, you just said it. We are a family. I very much agree with this."

Zhang Ling had a relaxed smile on her face because of these words.

But no expression was made.

And Li Xiang went on to say:
"So. Since we are a family, we should at least have the trust that a family should have, right?"

Zhang Ling nodded without refuting.

Li Xiang looked at Mr. Ma who was waiting not far away and gestured:

"Then Zhang Ling, you should not doubt me because of some provocative words from outsiders! This will destroy our originally happy family. Zhang Ling, listen to me, it's not worth it!"

Li Xiang emphasized the word "not worth" in a particularly emphatic tone.

It was also because of these two words that Zhang Ling completely doubted him.

That's why she said "I'm sorry" to Li Wan with an apologetic smile.

……

at this time.

On the old lady's dining table.

Zhen Li wanted to listen to the old lady introducing the three common ways to eat the bighead carp he caught.

That is, braised bighead carp with pickled pepper, braised fish cubes with soybean paste, and chopped fish head with pepper.

There is a particular way to eat each dish.

Such as pickled pepper and roasted bighead carp.

The old lady said that you should first clean the bighead carp, take out the fish meat, slice it into thin slices, and chop the fish bones into small pieces.

Add salt and cooking wine to the fish bones, marinate for a while and set aside.

Put the fish in a basin, add a little salt, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon starch, then mix well and set aside!

Then heat the pan with oil and fry the fish heads and bones until both sides are browned.

Then add boiling water and cook for 5 minutes until the soup becomes milky white.

Then take out the fish bones and put them on the bottom of the plate. Pour out the fish soup and set aside.

Then heat up the pan and add a little more oil than usual for cooking.

Then add minced ginger, minced garlic, and pickled peppers, stir-fry over low heat to create a spicy flavor, then pour in fish soup, and it will boil instantly.

At this time, add 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.

Then add the fish fillets, cook over high heat for 30 seconds, remove from the pot and put into a plate with fish bones, then sprinkle with green onions and serve!
Simply from how particular the old lady is about food, we can tell that the old lady is a person who lives an exquisite life.

That's because you can tell from the old lady's detailed narration.

The old lady not only knows how to eat.

He is also a person who can do it.

Only those who truly live a refined life will not treat their stomach badly.

When Zhen Lixiang was immersed in the wonderful impact of food on his taste buds.

suddenly!

The old lady spoke again:

"Muzi, I wonder how you are thinking about it?"

The old lady passed the previous observation.

The real Li Xiang is compared to Mr. Li.

He also likes others to call him Muzi.

Even though Muzi is now wearing men's clothing.

At this moment, Li Xiang also represents Zhihua Technology.

Muzi still likes to call him Muzi.

Every time I hear people call him Muzi.

A comfortable smile would appear on the corners of Muzi's mouth inadvertently.

So the old lady complied with Zhen Li Xiang's wishes and continued to call him Muzi.

Maybe!

The old lady's topic was too jumping.

Muzi let out an "ah" without reacting for a moment.

The old lady looked at the food in her bowl and continued:
"I must remind Mr. Li. If the food in my bowl is finished, no matter Muzi you agree or not, I will feel that this cooperation has no value..."

Muzi understands what having no value means.

He didn't wait for the old lady to finish speaking.

Somewhat panicked, he subconsciously asked "why".

The old lady put on a faint smile and said:
"Haohan Capital will never choose an indecisive person as a collaborator."

Muzi understood the meaning of the old lady's words.

Markets are like battlefields.

Fighters on the battlefield are fleeting.

Decision makers want to win.

You must make timely decisions to seize every opportunity that appears on the battlefield.

Muzi remained calm, lowered his head, thought for a while and said:
"You don't have to wait so long. In fact, I already have the answer. I can tell you now."

The old lady nodded slightly to indicate to Li Xiang to continue.

Muzi raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to the old lady with a smile:
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future." The old lady seemed to have already guessed Muzi's answer.

He nodded and smiled at Muzi naturally.

Taking advantage of the situation, he also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.

Not a word was said yet.

The meal is coming to an end.

The two also roughly exchanged details of cooperation.

However, there is another question that has been lingering in Muzi's mind.

If you don’t vomit, you won’t be happy!

So he thought again and again and said:

"Old madam, there is something I still can't figure out. I hope you can clear up my confusion."

The old lady put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Muzi and said:
"What? You said."

Muzi said:
"Why? Madam, why did you choose to help me? Don't tell me you did it just because of Zhang Ling."

The old lady said calmly but with a hint of coldness:
"What do you mean by this is that my purpose is no longer pure?"

The old lady's purpose was not as simple as what she told Muzi.

In fact, the old patriarch of the Li family had done something to hurt Zhang Ling.

And this kind of harm from the old patriarch of the Li family still exists.

Therefore, the old lady could only plan to completely eliminate the Li family for Zhang Ling.

But due to her status as the direct controller of Haohan Capital.

This matter cannot be done by the old lady herself.

Then Zhen Li Xiang is the best collaborator for the old lady.

Even if the Li family is completely eliminated in the future.

To outsiders, these are just ordinary family fights.

Muzi saw that the old lady had a strange expression.

I thought the old lady was obviously unhappy.

So according to normal people’s thinking.

What he should do most is apologize immediately and give up questioning the old lady.

But he nodded persistently and continued:

"That's right! I, Li Xiang, have been struggling for so many years. It's not for nothing. Madam, you definitely have other business purposes."

The old lady was not in a hurry to deny it.

No affirmation was made.

She just smiled and looked at Li Wanting to signal him to continue.

Muzi continued as if he had gotten the answer he wanted:

"Old madam, you represent vast capital. The most important thing is interests. But I personally feel that your decision just now..."

Muzi did not continue to express.

On the one hand, Muzi was worried that his next wording might offend the old lady.

He didn't want to be blamed for his inappropriate words.

It was easy to offend such a powerful collaborator.

On the other hand, Muzi knew that even if he didn't say anything anymore.

With the old lady's intelligence, she should have already understood what he meant.

When Muzi saw the old lady, she subconsciously nodded slightly to indicate for him to continue.

So Muzi continued with more confidence:
"If our cooperation does not bring you the benefits you need, Madam. Why would you choose to cooperate with me? So in order to make our cooperation more sincere, please Madam tell me your true purpose."

The old lady smiled relievedly and picked up the soup bowl that had just been placed on the dining table.

Finished the drink gracefully in front of Li Xiang.

He picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped the corners of his mouth.

This time he slowly raised his head and said:
"Not bad! Today's fish soup tastes good. Muzi, would you like to have a bowl too?"

Muzi seemed to understand!
The old lady wanted to divide the Li family's property with him.

So he said "Okay" and stood up immediately.

He picked up the soup bowl in front of him and was about to lean over to scoop up a bowl of fish soup.

But Muzi's behavior was stopped by the old lady.

The old lady winked at Mama Ning and said:

"Muzi, you are my distinguished guest. How can I let you do it yourself?"

The voice just fell.

Mother Ning quickly stepped forward, took the bowl from Muzi's hand and said:

"Miss Muzi, how much do you want to drink? I'll serve it for you."

Muzi looked at the old lady naturally and said with a smile:
"Today's meal is so delicious! I'm already full. I'm just greedy and want to taste the fish soup. Then give me half a spoon."

Muzi didn’t really want to drink fish soup.

Instead, he expressed his position to the old lady by drinking fish soup.

Namely, her collaboration with the old lady.

Don't care about profits at all.

The only thing she cares about is to completely disintegrate the Li family.

The old lady smiled with satisfaction at Muzi's response and said politely:

"Miss Muzi, don't be formal! You can treat my place as your home. You can eat whatever you want. If you get hungry here, I will be unhappy if I tell you."

The old lady expressed her meaning after saying so much.

Haohan Capital will never mistreat any of its collaborators.

Muzi understood the old lady's intention.

Then symbolically:
"Okay. Mother Ning, just give me a spoonful. Just one spoonful. Any more and I really won't be able to drink it."

Muzi wanted to express to the old lady that she was a person who knew how to be content.

Ning's mother looked at the old lady with a little embarrassment.

Waiting for instructions.

The old lady smiled and signaled that she would only serve Muzi a spoonful of soup as requested.

Watch Muzi finish drinking.

I heard Muzi’s words of praise for the fish soup.

The old lady said to Muzi again:

"Miss Guan Muzi is not an emotional person. But some of the things that happened to you are a bit puzzling to me."

Muzi showed some curiosity and asked "What".

The old lady gestured to Muzi’s image and continued:

"Why did you make such a big sacrifice for that man named Chen Jian? Aren't you afraid that your sacrifice will be in vain in the end?"

Muzi lowered his head slightly, pondered for a while and replied:
"In life, I always do the same thing step by step every day. It's too boring."

The old lady was a little surprised when she heard Muzi's sudden words and said "uh".

Muzi then said with a bitter smile that was somewhat unconfident:
"So sometimes doing some adventurous things that break the rules is a way to make life more interesting."

The old lady hesitated to say something.

But I still didn’t say it for some reason.

Muzi seemed to understand the old lady's intention from her expression.

So go on to say:
"I know, old lady, you will most likely think that I am crazy. So I do such crazy things that only a madman would do. But what I want to say is that I am not crazy."

The old lady shook her head first.

Then he said a calm "Oh".

It felt like he had expected Muzi to say this.

Muzi felt like she had met a confidant who could understand her.

So some of them continued to talk with joy:

"Old madam, it's not that I haven't thought about the worries you mentioned. But I know even more clearly that if I don't do some things, I'm afraid even if I return to the dust in the future, I will have endless regrets."

The old lady said definitely:
"Then do it!"

Muzi nodded and said:
"So I don't expect that this decision of mine will have a good result. But I hope that I will have no regrets in this life."

The old lady subconsciously repeated the words "I have no regrets in this life."

Then he looked solemn as if he had thought of something.

Then he continued to whisper to himself:

"If I can really achieve this without regrets in this life, it will be considered complete. But is it really possible?"

Because the old lady thought of the compensatory actions she had made to Zhang Ling.

I wonder if I can really get Zhang Ling’s forgiveness in the end?

Muzi simply thought that the old lady might be talking about cooperation.

So some people who didn’t know the situation took the initiative to ask:
"Old madam, were you talking about cooperation issues just now? It's just that your voice was too soft and I didn't hear it clearly. Could you please speak louder?"
