Chapter 769 Cannon Fodder in the Real World (15)
Although he didn't know why he was punished for being injured after falling into the water, Jiang Lai didn't care much.
This was just the most insignificant thing in her childhood, and the impression it left was very faint. If she hadn't passed this place again, she wouldn't have been able to remember it.
Shi Yubai looked at Jiang Lai's eyes on the rockery and asked.
"Do you remember this place?"
Jiang glanced at him, and a bloody scene filled his mind.
"Remember, you... won't be the one who fell when you were a child."
Shi Yubai looked at her, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I was about to drown. You saved me with your... belt."
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Lai's waist.
Jiang Lai was still wearing the red dress from the dinner party, but she had taken off her jewelry.
Next to the rockery, a ray of light shines on the water, and Jiang Lai's bright color makes her look like an elf sneaking into the world, too beautiful to be like a person in the real world.
Jiang Lai looked down at his waist and touched his belly.
"You reminded me that I'm hungry."
She didn't eat much during the banquet. The appetizers were only fingernail-sized side dishes, and it was better not to eat them.
Shi Yubai looked at her and smiled helplessly.
"I guess you're hungry, the meal is ready."
"Really? No wonder Uncle Huang said you are smart. You are indeed smart. You can guess this."
Who can observe this among ordinary people?
Shi Yubai just looked at her.
"I'm just used to doing these things, let's go."
The restaurant is next to the rockery. A heavy round sandalwood table is already filled with a variety of dishes. There is also a servant serving tea standing on both sides of the table.
Jiang Lai walked over, and the servant pulled out the chair for her and handed her mouthwash and hand towels.
Opposite him, Shi Yubai picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped his fingers. His movements were elegant and free. With the Tang suit, he looked like a rich man who came out of the Republic of China. His heritage made people couldn't help but look away.
Jiang Lai looked at the dishes in front of her. One of them was the same, and they all matched her taste.
"Dad said, you like spicy food, see if these suit your taste."
Jiang Lai nodded.
"Very good, trouble."
"No trouble. I heard from dad that you will stay here for a while. I have arranged the room for you. It is not far from my room. If you need anything, you can just send someone to tell me.
Let's eat. ”
When he spoke, his tone was very soft and slow, but it didn't make people anxious.
Even Mr. Huang, who has a bad temper, can calmly listen to his words and arrangements, let alone Jiang Lai.
During the meal, Shi Yubai only ate a few light side dishes and a bowl of gruel in front of him, and almost didn't eat much else.
When Jiang came to see him, the man took the initiative to explain.
"I don't eat too many carbs at night."
So rich, life is still moderate and simple.
Jiang Lai stared at the jade ring on his thumb, then lowered his head and continued eating.
"What's wrong, do you like my thumb ring?"
"Who doesn't like jade? Your ring ring is very unique and makes your hands look very white."
The skin color of jade is the most attractive, especially the jade with clear water and no impurities. White skin will only make it more fair and jade-like.
Jiang Lai was not a hand controller, but he always looked at Shi Yubai's hands unconsciously.
It's so perfect and delicate that it almost blends in with my own jade ring finger.
Not even the perfect jade could compare to the flawlessness of his hand.
Jiang Lai felt something was wrong and slowly looked away to concentrate on eating.
Shi Yubai raised his head and glanced at Jiang Lai while he was drinking tea.
After drinking, he smiled.
Just like when I was a child, I look like a porcelain doll carved from pink and jade.
After dinner, Jiang Lai walked around the yard twice and then went back to the house to rest.
Mr. Huang is in poor health, so special incense must be lit throughout the house. These incense have healing effects, so incense masters come to the house every week and follow Mr. Huang to light incense in specific corners of the home.
There are also some in Jiang Lai's house.
The incense master followed Shi Yubai and lit incense for Jiang Lai.
"This is sandalwood. The fragrance is light and not soothing. It has a calming effect. Miss Jiang looks very worried. This fragrance can help you sleep stably."
As he spoke, the incense master brought the prepared incense under the window sill.
The window sill was close to Jiang Lai's bed. As soon as she got up, she could see a wisp of smoke rising slowly.
Silence, quietness.
Shi Yubai handed a wooden sign to Jiang Lai.
"This is the pass inside the house. Some places cannot be entered without this. You should carry it with you."
Mr. Huang is very suspicious and has too many enemies. If he is not careful, his life will be in danger, so he has set up checkpoints everywhere in his home so that ordinary people cannot enter at all.
Jiang Lai nodded.
At night, in the empty and quiet house, you can vaguely hear the chirping of birds outside.
Very ethereal cuckoo sound.
Jiang Lai couldn't sleep, so he chatted with Little Pudding.
"Yu Bai is really good-looking at this time. You can't tell the difference between male and female, but this kind of people usually have different appearances. Jiang Lai, don't be fooled by the appearance."
"Who is deceived? Staring at people and drooling all day long?
Mr. Ding, you must be a crook, right? If you don’t look at pretty girls, you only like looking at handsome guys, right? ”
"Fart! Official certification from the Straight Man! If you continue to talk nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."
Judging from Little Pudding's repulsive tone, he must not be a crooked person.
Jiang Lai turned over and looked at the wisps of smoke on the windowsill, like a still white ribbon, with a faint fragrance filling his nose.
Later she didn't know how she fell asleep.
Anyway, when I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn outside.
There were several missed calls on her phone. When she opened it, she saw that they were all from Jiang Xun.
No, I just turned on my phone and another call came.
"Why don't you go home at night? Big brother, second brother and third brother are all worried about you."
"Do I need to report to you whether or not I'm going home? If I have something to say, I'll hang up if it's okay."
"Don't hang up, quarterly board of directors. You hold a lot of shares so you have to attend the meeting. Today, you have to go or other shareholders will be unhappy."
"Got it."
Jiang Lai hung up the phone and when he got up, he suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any clothes and didn't take a shower last night. He was thinking about going to the bathroom to take a shower. When he walked to the bathroom door, he saw several sets of clothes hanging aside.
They are all in the new Chinese style, with skirts and trousers. The materials look very good, and they feel smooth and comfortable in the hand.
After taking a shower, Jiang Lai chose a new Chinese style short top paired with a silk skirt, and a heavy jade ring around his waist. There was also a fan-shaped half-mountain picture embedded in the middle of the jade ring, which was a test for the jade master at first glance. carving craftsmanship.
In order to match this outfit, Jiang Lai simply tied his hair back with a hairpin. (End of chapter)
