Rao Rao didn't know that the two men in the living room were ready to fight to the death because of her. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the joy of her friend returning to China.
"Raoruo, it's your birthday the day after tomorrow, and I've prepared a big gift for you!" Wu He said with a smile, but his eyes were seriously staring at the computer screen in front of him.
Above is the original painting of Van Gogh that she had spent a lot of effort to photograph, and was going to give it to Rao Rao as a gift.
At the same time, she also has a set of emerald jewelry on hand, which is a limited edition of CD this year, with only 20 sets in the world.
"Really?" Rao Rao couldn't help but feel sour in her eyes.
Birthdays have always been a luxury for her.
Because of her awkward status in the Lu family, she has only celebrated two birthdays in more than 20 years. Once, Lu's mother tricked her into going to the playground and almost caused her to be humiliated. The other time, before Wu He left Luo City, I gave her a hand-knitted bracelet.
However, neither of them had any money at the time, and Rao Rao, who received the gift, could only treat her to a bottle of soda in a glass bottle at the door.
"Yeah, I promise you'll like it!"
"Oh, by the way, do you have a partner? Do you want me to introduce my brother to you?"
"I remember that you also majored in film and television when you were in college. My brother is also quite famous in the film and television industry..."
Wu He and Rao Rao had opposite personalities. Whenever they thought of something interesting, they would chatter endlessly, especially when they were talking about some interesting things. Rao Rao couldn't help but be so fascinated that she lost track of time.
It happened that the two people downstairs were also in the game, and no one came up to rush her.
By the time she hung up the phone, the sky was filled with sunset and it was time to have dinner.
... ...
In the hall, it was so quiet that you could hear the rhythm of breathing.
Qin Chen looked at Long Yan, and the corners of his raised mouth made an intriguing statement: "Mr. Long, can I understand that what you just said was to provoke me?"
Long Yanfo lifted his sleeves and met Qin Chen's cold eyes without giving up: "No, I said it. I was just stating the facts."
"Fact?" Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and carelessly touched his cuffs with his fingers. After a few clicks, a delicate silver handgun appeared in his hand.
"Yes, Rao Rao and I were engaged, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she was taken back by the Lu family."
"If Mr. Qin doesn't believe it, you can ask your grandmother, Aunt Nangong Huilan. I believe you will get the answer you want."
Long Yan didn't want to reveal Rao Rao's identity to Qin Chen so early. After all, the child in Rao Rao's belly had not yet been born.
Letting other families know about it would be detrimental to his future marriage to Rao Rao, and it would more or less leave people with a reason to talk about it.
And he couldn't force Lu Raoruo to induce labor, otherwise if the mother's body was injured or she couldn't get pregnant, it would be the Long family that would lose in the future.
But when he saw that Qin Chen and Lu Raorao were getting closer and closer, he was really worried.
He simply pointed it out directly to Qin Chen and said that it would be best if Qin Chen could retreat despite the difficulties, then everyone would be happy.
"Rao Rao's mother is from a hidden family?"
Qin Chen automatically ignored the pride in Long Yan's eyes and asked another question.
Long Yan raised his fingers behind him, and Long Er pushed a box in front of Qin Chen as if facing a formidable enemy.
"This is the marriage contract made by the elders back then. Rao Rao's mother is Long Fei, the second daughter of the Yu family. She left the Yu family and went to Luo City 24 years ago. A year later, Rao Rao was born and was sent to the Lu family..."
"Mr. Qin, remember the jade pendant that Rao Rao wears around her neck. It's actually a pair. The one carved on Rao Rao's neck is a phoenix, and the one I have here is a dragon."
Long Yan said, and he pulled out a red thread from his neck.
Qin Chen had been trying hard to remain calm, but his fingers couldn't help but tremble when he saw the jade pendant pattern.
Even his index finger had already pressed the trigger, and the silver muzzle was facing Long Yan's chest.
Long Er hurriedly tried to block in front of Long Yan, but was slapped away by Long Yan.
Seeing Qin Chen's trembling fingers, he knew that he finally had a slight victory, and it was no wonder that he deliberately asked Yu Qi for the jade pendant.
You must know that this jade pendant is indeed from the Long family. It was given to Yuqi brother and sister as a birthday gift several years ago.
However, Qin Chen had no way of knowing that his liver ached with anger at this moment.
"Mr. Long, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to appreciate the morning sun tomorrow?" Countless dark scenes flashed through Qin Chen's mind. He never thought that one day he would meet such a difficult person to deal with.
The moment he saw the jade pendant, he almost couldn't help but shoot several times.
The violence in his heart was so strong that it almost overwhelmed his reason, but when he thought of the little woman's delicate face and his unborn child, he had to force himself to calm down.
It would be great if I could really kill Long Yan with one shot!
It's a pity that if he doesn't die and is deliberately pretending to be injured to gain Rao Rao's guilt and sympathy, then that's really...
"Don't be afraid, I believe Mr. Qin!"
"But what should I do if I don't believe in myself?" Qin Chen loosened his finger on the trigger, and his eyes were suddenly filled with evil spirits. He dropped the gun on the table and leaned back in his chair.
The nonchalant look made Long Yan confused and a little surprised.
He originally thought that Qin Chen would be angry and even lose his mind, but he didn't expect that he would have adjusted his emotions so quickly.
This enemy is really tricky!
"Raoruo has always wanted to know about her mother. Now that Mr. Long has taken the initiative to tell you, I have to thank you properly."
"It's just that you probably don't like things in this secular world, so I'll express my gratitude over tea."
Qin Chen said, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
The movement was so fast that Long Yan had already put down the cup before he could finish a word.
"You..." Long Yan was so angry that he really couldn't continue talking for a while.
He knew Qin Chen was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless! How shameless!
Regarding Rao Rao's life experience, this is such a good opportunity to show mercy. He can still win Rao Rao's favor, but now he has been easily exposed by him with a cup of tea
The veins on Long Yan's arms were bulging, so he picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.
But as soon as he took the tea into his mouth, he felt something was wrong.
This tea... didn't seem to be the kind he drank when Rao Rao was around.
Although his willpower is beyond ordinary people, he was almost forced to spit out the bitterness in his mouth.
Where is the tea? It’s just a bunch of coptis! It's still the kind that's aged, I don't know how long it's been there!
"Don't waste it, this is good stuff."
Qin Chen smiled coquettishly, and finally felt a lot more comfortable when he saw Long Yan deflated.
"What are you talking about? So happy!"
Rao Rao hung up the phone and felt dizzy when she thought of the two people in the living room.
I was so busy chatting that I forgot that they didn't want to deal with them.
However, when I got downstairs, I saw Qin Chen smiling like a fox, and I was immediately very curious.
"It's nothing. Mr. Long and I are discussing tea art. Rao Rao, have you finished your phone call?" Qin Chen stood up directly, blocking Long Yan's sight, and put the gun on the table into his cuff.
Rao Rao glanced at the tea set on the table, and there was no doubt that he was there.
Seeing Long Yan's twitching face, one hand still covering his stomach, she was in a good mood and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Long, are you hungry? Why don't we stay and have dinner together tonight?"
"I had people prepare hot pot ingredients earlier. It will be more lively when there are more people."
At this moment, Rao Rao was still in the joy of communicating with her friends. She didn't notice Qin Chen's square face. She took his hand and shook it gently. Hearing the little woman's coquettish voice made Long Yan feel angry.
Before he could speak, Qin Chen gave him a meaningful look, patted Rao Rao's back gently with his hand and coaxed: "Mr. Long is very busy, please don't make trouble."
"No... there is still time for a meal."
Long Yan deliberately ignored Qin Chen's warning gaze and smiled.
He had a deep memory of the bitter tea just now, and now he wants to leave by himself, but there is no way!
"Besides, I still have some academic issues that I would like to discuss with Mr. Lu. I wonder if Mr. Lu has time..."
"good... "
"Bang bang bang!"
After several sparks sparkled in the living room, the entire house became pitch black.
Rao Rao instinctively got into Qin Chen's arms, fear quickly replaced the smile on her face.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a power outage!" Qin Chen said softly, but the hand around her waist did not relax at all, and he immediately ordered Ken to check the power room.
Several people left the living room and stood in the yard. Rao Rao was sandwiched between Long Yan and Qin Chen. They happened to be both thin and tall, which made her feel like a baked egg sandwiched in bread. .
Fortunately, Ken came back not long after, but the news he brought was that the cables in the entire community were broken, and it might not be repaired until midnight.
"Then let's go out to eat."
Qin Chen took Rao Rao's hand and walked out.
Long Yan followed suit, and he would not let go of any chance to cause trouble for Qin Chen.
Long Er watched his master follow Lu Raorao and Qin Chen into the hot pot restaurant very calmly, his mouth hanging open for a long time!
This owner must be crazy!
How dare you go to a place with so many people and eat from the same pot as others!
He felt that his heart could no longer bear it, so he turned around and held his hand on the wall, breathing heavily. On the other hand, the housekeepers at the property center of Lanting Courtyard were no better than ants on a hot pot.
They claim to be the best real estate company in Los Angeles, but they can't repair a circuit that tripped. How will they survive in the future
Moreover, the people living here are very powerful people, and they cannot afford to lose anyone.
The manager on duty in the air-conditioned room was sweating even while walking.
Just as he was hesitating whether to call the municipal power supply bureau to bring in reinforcements, the area centered on Villa No. 1 suddenly lit up again.
Ken, who was guarding the basement, shook his head helplessly. The boss was really getting better and better at playing.
In order to prevent others from eating at home, they even do things like cut off the power!
