Chapter 640 The truth is only a layer of window paper
"Come in, let me introduce you, this is my Aunt Xia, she is the eldest sister among the three sisters, my mother is the second sister, and Wu Ma is the third sister.

Aunt Xia, this is Chu Yunfeng, my boyfriend. "

As soon as she saw Chu Yunfeng come in, Mu Qing immediately stepped forward to introduce him. When she mentioned the word boyfriend, she couldn't help but look shy.

Aunt Xia has a good relationship with her family, and this is almost a meeting with her parents, so Mu Qing is still a little shy.

"Hi Aunt Xia, I'm Chu Yunfeng."

Chu Yunfeng stepped forward generously and shook hands with Mr. Xia who stood up.

"Hello, hello, Mu Qing has good taste. She is truly a talented person."

Mr. Xia stretched out his hand and shook it. However, Chu Yunfeng originally only wanted to hold his fingertips, but unexpectedly Mr. Xia directly held his entire palm.

What's even more strange is that not only did Aunt Xia's hand use a bit of force, but she also felt that it was trembling slightly.

"Aunt Xia, I made all these dishes, try them to see if they suit your taste."

This hand has been held for almost 10 seconds, and Mr. Xia seems to have no intention of letting go. This also makes Mu Qing and Wu Ma who are standing aside feel a little strange.

"Oh~! Okay, okay, sit down, sit down."

When Mr. Xia shook hands, he kept his eyes on Chu Yunfeng, looking back and forth on his face, as if looking for something different.

"Sister, your face is so red."

Ke Xin on the side suddenly said in a coquettish voice, wanting to show off that she had discovered something unusual about her sister. This caused everyone to turn their attention to Mu Qing.

"No way, don't talk nonsense, kid, are you hungry? I'll give you a bun."

Ke Xin's words made Mu Qing's heart beat faster and her face seemed to turn redder. She quickly gave Ke Xin a bun to cover up her shyness.

"Haha~!"

Aunt Xia and Wu Ma looked at each other and laughed. Chu Yunfeng looked at Mu Qing with a "curious" look on his face, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"I told you to sit down, didn't you hear me?"

It didn't matter that he was being teased by Aunt Xia and Mother Wu, but Chu Yunfeng was still looking at him blankly, clearly looking at his own joke.

After Mu Qing pulled her clothes and sat down, Chu Yunfeng didn't expect that Mu Qing usually looked very capable, but he didn't expect that Mu Qing was quite thin-skinned.

"Aunt Xia, this is my best chicken bean curd, please try it."

Chu Yunfeng stopped teasing Mu Qing. She would definitely be angry if he continued teasing her, so he filled a small bowl with chickpea pudding and handed it to Mr. Xia.

"Okay, okay, thank you. Let's all eat. I'll also try Xiao Chu's cooking."

Mr. Xia took the small bowl and began to taste it. Chu Yunfeng also got a bowl for Wu Ma, followed by Ke Xin and Mu Qing.

"Hmm~! Not bad, very tender and delicate, without any fascia, and the taste and umami are just right."

Mr. Xia praised it after taking a sip, and then continued to taste it slowly and slowly. Wu Ma and Mu Qing were also tasting it.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Master Zhu walked in. There is still the last day of the snack event tomorrow. The kitchen needs to prepare more snacks that are easy to take away, so I have to explain before I can come.

"Senior Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you for many years. You have taken good care of yourself. You still look so young."

When Mr. Xia saw Master Zhu come in, he also stood up and exchanged greetings.

"Oh, where is this? I am a typical middle-aged uncle now. In two years, I will be a bad old man in the eyes of others."

Master Zhu and Mr. Xia were old acquaintances, so they were not so restrained when talking and started joking casually.

"Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhu's joking personality has not changed. He has a good attitude and naturally does not look old. If you messed up the old man, wouldn't we be old women long ago?"

Mr. Xia asked Master Zhu to sit down, and Chu Yunfeng immediately poured wine into his glass.

Everyone's wine glasses were filled with wine just now, and tonight's drink was naturally full of gold and jade. The golden and thick appearance naturally attracted Mr. Xia's attention.

But Master Zhu hasn’t come yet, so the first glass of wine has to wait until now.

"Come on, big sister is back today, let's have a drink!"

Wu's mother raised her glass and started to drink. Overall, she was in a good mood today, especially Mu Qing's mother, her second sister, who seemed to have hope of waking up.

After drinking a glass of wine, Master Zhu and the others began to eat, but Mr. Xia was still holding the wine glass in a daze.

"This wine."

Mr. Xia is still recalling the magical taste that just entered his throat. When did domestic liquor become so delicious?
Not to mention the lack of a hint of spiciness, the most important thing is the mellow and fragrant taste. Even though I have drunk so many high-end wines, I have never tasted it.

"This wine was prepared by Chu Yunfeng himself using a secret recipe. This Jinyu Mantang is the best and cannot be bought outside."

Mu Qing was very proud when she said it. She explained so quickly because she wanted Chu Yunfeng to show off in front of her Aunt Xia.

"Not bad, not bad, very good, very good!"

Mr. Xia put down his wine glass and looked at Chu Yunfeng with a more complicated expression. He didn't know whether his words of praise were about the wine or the people.
"But Xin, why don't you eat these chickpea flowers?"

Master Zhu saw Ke Xin munching on the mushroom buns. The chickpeas in front of everyone were all empty, but she didn't move at all.

"I'm tired of eating it, and this chickpea pudding is not as delicious as the one made in Brother Chu's shop."

Kexin's words left Wu Ma and others speechless, but they were also understandable. Kexin had eaten this dish every day before, and it was normal for her to get tired of it.

But what Mr. Xia is concerned about is Kexin’s second sentence. Is this dish cooked in Chu Yunfeng’s restaurant more delicious than the one in the hotel? !
This is what Mr. Xia finds most incomprehensible. He had asked Mu Qing before and found out that Chu Yunfeng had a shop in the snack street.

Moreover, the cold noodles and other snacks I had eaten outside the hotel were from Chu Yunfeng's small shop. The price was obviously much more expensive than others, but many people bought them.

The taste was indeed worth the price, so now I became more interested in the store on Chu Yunfeng Snack Street.

However, Mu Qing hasn't told Mr. Xia that Chu Yunfeng also has a villa and boutique. Otherwise, I don't know how many more ideas Mr. Xia will have in mind.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very happily, and there was a lot of drinking and drinking. With Master Zhu and Chu Yunfeng there, it was easy to make jokes.

After the dinner, almost all the dishes on the table were finished, so Master Zhu returned to the kitchen. Mother Wu sent Ke Xin home, while Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing sent Mr. Xia back to his room.

When the three of them were about to go out, Mr. Xia suddenly took out his mobile phone from his bag and said, "Wait for me outside. I'll take a call."

Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing nodded, thinking that Aunt Xia probably had something important to do, so they thoughtfully closed the door for her.

But when Mr. Xia saw the door closed, he suddenly had to act quickly, took out a new glass from the cabinet and put it on the seat where Chu Yunfeng was sitting just now.

Pour some soup into the new glass, and then pour it into the bowl.

The cup that Chu Yunfeng drank from just now was carefully put into a plastic bag by Mr. Xia, and then put into his bag with slightly trembling hands.

Then he took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out as if nothing happened.
"Where are you, Aunt Xia, from?"

On their way home, Chu Yunfeng asked Mu Qing about it.

"It's from the capital, but in my impression, it seems that Aunt Xia rarely returns to the capital. This is quite strange. I didn't pay much attention to it when I was young, but now I think it's quite strange."

Mu Qing replied thoughtfully while driving the car.

"Then who else is in her family?"

Chu Yunfeng's hands were playing with his phone unconsciously and his eyes were staring out the window, but his attention was always on Mu Qing's answer.

"Hi~! It's strange to say that she never seems to have mentioned her husband, but her daughter is quite familiar with me. We have played together since childhood.

It’s really strange now that I think about it, but Wu’s mother and my mother should know about her husband’s situation, right?

Oh, right~! "

Mu Qing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stepped on the brake. The car immediately braked suddenly, startling Chu Yunfeng.

But fortunately, we were not driving on a main road, but on a small road, with fewer vehicles, and there were no vehicles following us, otherwise a rear-end collision might have occurred.

"Oops, I suddenly thought of something very important and subconsciously stepped on the brakes."

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's "frightened" and puzzled look, Mu Qing lowered her head, bit her lip and whispered.

"What is it that makes you so excited? No, it seems I still have to learn a driver's license, otherwise I will lose a lot if I explain it in a daze one day."

Chu Yunfeng shook his head when he saw Mu Qing lowering her head to admit her mistake, and then expressed her intention to learn to drive "seriously".

"Come on, I've told you several times before that you don't want to learn. Now I'm just teasing you. Don't be poor. I have something serious to tell you.

After Aunt Xia went to the United States a few years ago, she has been helping her investigate a matter through my mother in the past few years. Later, after something happened to my mother, this matter fell on me.

Remember that time we met at the Red Heart Welfare Institute?

That time I went to help Aunt Xia get information about orphans in the orphanage. According to the screening requirements provided by Aunt Xia, all information on boys aged 20 to 25 was required.

And what puzzles me the most is that there is a very important keyword in the screening requirements, which is "trafficking."

Information about abducted children requires special attention, so I began to wonder if Aunt Xia had a child before, but this child was abducted. "

Mu Qing told what she knew, but she didn't realize that the mobile phone that Chu Yunfeng was holding just now had fallen on the seat cushion, and his hands were clenched into fists nervously.

"Then have you asked her if she wanted this information herself?"

Chu Yunfeng stopped looking at the scenery outside the window. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Mu Qing nervously. If Mu Qing looked carefully, he would see the muscles on his face trembling slightly.

"I asked, and she said she found it for a friend of hers. I can't verify that."

Mu Qing didn't expect Chu Yunfeng to be interested in this matter. She just couldn't figure it out because she was holding it in her heart, so she simply told him to help analyze it.

"Then she entrusted you with finding information?"

Chu Yunfeng immediately found out a key point in Mu Qing's words. Because of Mu Qing's mother, this matter was very important.

"No, I didn't know about it at first, and once when I was cleaning up my mother's things at home, I found some related materials.

That's why I sent an email asking about this matter, and it took a while for Aunt Xia to reply to me, saying that if she had time, she could look for it for herself.

At that time, my mood was very low every day, and I wanted to find more things to do so that I would not have so many worries, so I agreed. "

Mu Qing's answer made Chu Yunfeng feel a little uneasy. He felt a little flustered and guessed, and at the same time he lost interest in talking.

After Mu Qing continued to chat with him for a few words, she found that he was a little absent-minded. In addition to her "operation error" just now, she concentrated on driving and stopped talking.

"Go to bed early and see you tomorrow."

Chu Yunfeng gently hugged Mu Qing, patted her on the back, and left. Mu Qing was delicate and thoughtful, and seemed to feel that Chu Yunfeng had become a little deeper.

Looking at his leaving back, there was a sense of desolation.

So he took out his mobile phone and edited a text message. Chu Yunfeng took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He immediately turned back and smiled at Mu Qing, then turned around and waved, and slowly walked out of the community.

Early the next morning, Mu Qing waited downstairs early. After seeing Chu Yunfeng get into the car, Mu Qing screamed: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night?"

Chu Yunfeng's face showed a trace of decadence. Although it had been modified, it could not be hidden from Mu Qing's eyes.

"I have a bit of insomnia. I didn't fall asleep until after four in the morning. It's okay. I'll come back to catch up on my sleep when it closes at noon."

Seeing Mu Qing's worried look, Chu Yunfeng felt warm in his heart and waved his hand to show that he was fine.

"Why don't you go to the store today and go back and have a good sleep?"

Mu Qing was still worried, and she had some suspicions that Chu Yunfeng's insomnia might be related to what he told him last night.

More importantly, there is still news that I have not told him. Seeing how he is now, I am also very hesitant to tell him what I missed last night.

"It's okay. Even if you ask me to go back to sleep now, I won't be able to sleep. I might as well go to the store and be busy. There's a banquet coming soon, and there's still a lot to do."

Chu Yunfeng saw that Mu Qing seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he continued to ask: "What's wrong? It seems that you still have something to say to me?"

Mu Qing bit her lip, and when she saw Chu Yunfeng's clear eyes, she decided to speak out: "I forgot to tell you last night. Dean Liu forgot to put your information into the information given to Aunt Xia.

I didn't know about this until I called Dean Liu yesterday. Also, Aunt Xia didn't immediately ask Dean Liu for information at that time, she just talked about it later.

I only know that you grew up in an orphanage, but I don't know your specific past. In fact, I have always wanted to know, but I am afraid of reminding you of the unpleasant past.

So I've been waiting for you to tell me, but that's all for today, I..."

Mu Qing had always known that Chu Yunfeng had a past in her heart that she didn't want to mention, so she had always carefully protected it.

And knowing that Chu Yunfeng would definitely tell him if he wanted to say something, Chu Yunfeng also understood what Mu Qing meant, so he smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I understand, I'll tell you later, okay?" ?”

Mu Qing's eyes were filled with tears. As she nodded, tears fell down, all of them falling on Chu Yunfeng's body.

Xiaolu arrived at Xingchen Hotel early in the morning, knocked on Mr. Xia's door, and opened it quickly.

"Mr. Xia, are you going to the restaurant for breakfast?"

"No, let's go to Kuixinglou Street to eat."

Mr. Xia had already put on his clothes and was about to leave. Xiaolu quickly followed.
