Chapter 51 The Moment of Warmth
After clearing away the tableware, Charlie and Xiao Qi hid in the corner and bit their ears.Jiang Ruan sat cross-legged on the sofa with bare feet, letting Mu Zexi dig out the red wine, and sat at the tea table to read the materials Jiang Ruan brought back.
"Is there something wrong with He Yixiao?" Jiang Ruan frowned, remembering Ze Xi's hesitation during the day.
"It can't be said that there must be a problem. It can only be said that his identity has something to do with you." Mu Zexi's face became serious, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and straightened his body slightly backward.
"Huh?" Jiang Ruan leaned forward, twisted a grape in the fruit plate on the coffee table, and put it in his mouth.
"His father's name is He Zheng. He used to be a cook of the Rong family. He wasn't from an aristocratic family. He was recruited after he obtained the qualifications." Mu Zexi stood up and sat next to Jiang Ruan.
"So?" The sofa sank to one side, and Jiang Ruan hurriedly stabilized the center.
"Then he has a close friend named Jiang Yin." Mu Zexi paused, "This Jiang Yan was also a cook who was recruited by the Rong family at the same time. After becoming a partner with He Zheng, the Rong family was once very popular."
"Then this Jiang Yin, who am I?" Jiang Ruan had already expected that the identity of the original body was not simple, but she didn't expect that there would be progress so soon.
"Li Hui has compared the genetic information backed up by the association. If there is no accident, it should be your father." Mu Zexi went on to say, "After I got the news, I went to check it myself, and it turned out that there was no problem. .If you still have doubts about this relationship, do you need to check it out yourself?"
Jiang Ruan kept her head down for a long time without making a sound, and when she looked up, she took a deep breath. "No, I believe you. Where is my father?"
"Your father disappeared a long time ago, and his existence can't be found at all. It seems that his traces have been erased artificially. And at that time, it was the time when He Yixiao's father, He Zheng, lost his mind and was driven away by the Rong family. .”
Mu Zexi shook his head helplessly, "At that time, the royal family hadn't intervened in the culinary family, let alone took over the association. There are no traces of many secret activities that happened at that time."
"Why are the Rong's family involved again? They are everywhere?" Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, feeling that she didn't have the slightest liking for the Rong's family.
"According to common sense, any cook with mature skills cannot be expelled and abandoned for no reason." The puzzled look in Mu Zexi's eyes became more and more serious. "It's impossible for something like this to happen now, let alone 20 years ago."
"Just say that if you drive people away, you will drive them away, and the cooks under the banner will not say anything when they disappear? How could the aristocratic family at that time be like the gangsters?" Jiang Ruan felt that this kind of logic was wrong, and there should always be some lies exposed. .
"That's why I said that after we took over the association, the circle of cooks was much cleaner. At that time, the association was controlled by aristocratic families, and many operations did not need to go through procedures. Although in the eyes of outsiders, cooks still have a high status, but through struggle A born cook, was played by the aristocratic family." Mu Zexi snorted lightly, "The association at that time was the product of the aristocratic family's combination to deceive the royal family and the public."
"Is this the same for the Xiang family?" Jiang Ruan's impression of the family began to get bad.
"No, the Xiang family has never participated in these battles. Whether it is internal crushing or power struggles, the Xiang family will ignore it. The main reason is that the Rong family mixed with several other families and ruined the environment." Mu Ze analyzed shook his head. "Do you care about your father..."
"Oh, if you put it that way. I think the Rong family must have done something to the two cooks at that time, otherwise one would have disappeared and the other would have gone crazy." Jiang Ruan said his speculation.
"I didn't pay much attention to it. To be honest, it was a surprise to be able to find out my life experience. I am very happy, but it is indeed a person I have never met before, and I really can't have too many feelings... But I am very grateful, That badge is real, at least it saved me from a difficult time at the beginning. It is my responsibility to help find the truth before. But there is no such thing as no matter how much I feel.”
"Well, the Rong family will definitely not take the initiative to tell us the truth. Your father has disappeared again. He Yixiao's father has not appeared in public for a long time, and he is not sure if he is still alive. I think you can ask He Yixiao to be a sponsor first, by the way Find out what he's trying to do, or if he crashes, I'll cover it for you." Mu Zexi slumped on the back of the sofa with a meaningless look.
"Hey, local tyrant, Mr. Mu!" Jiang Ruan jokingly bumped into the man next to him after hearing Mu Zexi's tone.
"I just found out." Mu Ze analyzed his tone lightly, carelessly rubbing the top of his lover's head, rubbing the fluffy and soft hair into a chicken coop.
"Enough is enough! That's it, let me ignore He Yixiao for now. If I really have any bad intentions, I won't directly mess with me at such a large event. And I still have you, so I'm not afraid at all! "Jiang Ruan shrugged and took the materials on the coffee table to Mu Zexi. "Look at these documents for me quickly, and write them for me if you can?"
"Yes, but you need to charge some labor fees!" Mu Zexi rubbed his chin and looked at Jiang Ruan with malicious eyes.
"What do you want?" Jiang Ruan's eyes began to wander.
"This one, one side of the form, is not too difficult, how about a kiss?" Mu Ze tilted his head, his expression became rascal.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you." Jiang Ruan laughed, and wanted to get closer to fulfill this labor fee.
"Hey! Not now, let me save it first." Mu Zexi stretched out his hand, pressed against his lover's approaching head, and wiped his pouty lips with his fingers.
"Tsk, is there a follow-up?" Jiang Ruan pretended to be impatient.
"When I don't know, these things are approved by me. The easiest tasks are placed on the first few pages, and the more complicated forms are padded at the back. Is this something that can be solved with a kiss?" Mu Ze analyzed Not being fooled at all, he took out the last few documents and waved them in front of Jiang Ruan.
"Then, what should I do? It's not that you don't know that I can only cook. I can't do many things well, and I get a headache when I look at the densely packed materials." Jiang Ruan was not annoyed when she saw through the trick past.
"I'll think about it and tell you later? In short, I won't ask you to do things beyond your ability, okay?" Mu Zexi blinked, looking at Jiang Ruan with pure and honest eyes.
"Okay! You've worked hard tonight, Mr. Mu. Come on, I'll pour you some wine!" Jiang Ruan thought to himself that Ze Xi wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him, so she accepted the conversation with confidence.
"This form asks for the number of cruises you have participated in during the entry period..."
"What is a cruise..."
"It's a way of joint exhibition, which can select the winners, which is conducive to the increase of store popularity points..."
"This form is full of data, what exactly do I need to fill in?"
"Didn't those cooks sign a cooperation agreement? Take it here, this is a general form, and you need the personal data of the cooks in those agreements..."
"Do you want more wine?"
"Yes, you have a drink too, is it interesting to drink too much by myself?"
Jiang Ruan watched as Mu Zexi quickly filled out the documents and forms. He was watching alone, holding a glass of wine and drinking in his spare time. Unlike last time, he was still thinking about entertaining guests. Before I knew it, half a bottle was down.
"Mr. Mu, do you want more wine?" Jiang Ruan's tone slowed down unknowingly, and Jiang Ruan felt the heat surrounding her, and the scene in front of her was a little dazed.
"This form is..." Mu Zexi rubbed his forehead and raised his head, staring at his lover who was blushing in front of him and had wandering eyes.
"What's the matter, Mr. Mu, is there anything you can't even write? Then the labor fee can't be paid..." Jiang Ruan watched Mu Zexi stop moving, frowned and looked at the materials in his hand, her body was unsteady , and fell into Mu Zexi's arms.
"Ruan Ruan?" Mu Zexi hugged Jiang Ruan's upside-down body, dumbfounded, and patted him on the back. "Are you already drunk?"
"No! Why are you drunk!" Jiang Ruan hung on Mu Zexi's shoulder and shook her head vigorously. "When you're drunk, you won't be able to find that you're bullying me. I know you usually bully me. It's not because I let you, otherwise..."
"I bullied you?" Mu Zexi was dumbfounded, "I have never seriously bullied you. If you really want to do it, you will definitely..."
"Absolutely what? I'm still afraid...Are you afraid that you can eat me?" Jiang Ruan raised her voice, her tone was proud and confident. "I'm not afraid, you don't have the guts, I'm still one year younger..."
"Ruan Ruan, according to the law of the empire, you can register your marriage in the last year, so why can't you bully?" Mu Zexi's eyes flashed, and his tone began to test, "Ruan Ruan, if I bully you, what will you do?" How? Will you blame me?"
"That depends on what it is... what bullying..." Jiang Ruan hiccupped, "It's not okay to kill and set fire, but it's okay to kiss and hug..."
"Ruan Ruan, are you drunk?" Mu Zexi laughed. "Is it really okay to kiss and hug?"
The logic of Ruan Ruan's answer is quite clear, she doesn't look drunk!
"I told you I'm not drunk, but you don't believe me! If you bully me now, I'll beat you!" Jiang Ruan blinked, distanced herself from Mu Zexi, and tried to focus her scattered eyes, trying to stare at Mu Zexi. Eye. "But if you want to kiss and hug, then...up to you..."
"Can you really follow me? No matter how outrageous things I do to you? You won't blame me?" Mu Zexi also drank a lot of wine, although he wouldn't get drunk.Unlike white wine, red wine doesn't have that much reaction to him.Hearing what Jiang Ruan said, his expression became serious.
"Mu Zexi, I told you I'm not drunk..." Jiang Ruan raised her head, calling out her lover's full name seriously on a rare occasion.The eyes are two points confused, three points provocative, and there is a deep five points of determination. "I'm also an adult, don't treat me like a baby who doesn't understand anything. Although I didn't have a date before, it's not a blank slate!"
"Really?" Mu Zexi's eyes darkened, stimulated by Jiang Ruan's inadvertent teasing, even his voice became hoarse.
"Hmm..." Jiang Ruan didn't seem to know what she was talking about at all, she just hummed and nodded.
"Then I will collect my reward now, and you can stop it at any time. Ruan Ruan, you have to remember... I respect your wishes. If you don't want to do it, I will never force you..."
Mu Zexi's tone gradually softened, and he hugged his lover who was lying on his body tightly.He straightened Jiang Ruan's head, and kissed him reverently...
