After Cao Aiqing watched Guo Huai go away, she slowly turned her head to look at the closed door. Now that the situation has developed to this stage, she has fully understood that this rumor-mongering incident that has accompanied her entire college youth like a nightmare, is completely It’s not just about one’s own destiny…
Outside the door, a period of cause and effect came to an end, but inside the door, the drama of fighting with the same roommates continued.
At this time, in the box, the two brothers of the He family looked at each other. He Tianran had deceived Guo Huai earlier, which undoubtedly made He Yuan Chong fail and was unable to get off the tiger. Therefore, in the confrontation of eyes, he took the lead to avoid He Tianran's Looking at it, he said vaguely:
"Brother, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
He Tianran smiled slightly when he heard this, "It doesn't matter, you don't understand, right? Okay, then I'll put it in another way that you can understand."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slowly turned the turntable on the dining table with two fingers.
The plate of Oolong spit beads that he brought up with his own hands slowly turned to He Yuanchong and stopped.
"Taste it."
"What?"
"Taste it."
Eat something?
He Yuanchong really didn't understand what He Tianran was going to do. He stared at the dish on the plate. The sea cucumber looked thick and juicy. It should be South American ginseng, and the edge of the plate was specially made of green and red seasonal vegetables. With some embellishments, the dishes look very beautiful on the plate, and there is no problem.
Although he was a little confused, He Yuanchong still picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sea cucumber, put it into his mouth, and tasted it slowly.
He was not afraid that He Tianran would do something in the dish to insult him. If that was the case, the method would be too clumsy and low-level.
The taste of sea cucumber combined with the rich gravy, except for the slightly hard texture, He Yuanchong didn't think there was anything wrong with this dish.
"How is it?" He Tianran asked.
"...Very good." He Yuanchong put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Um--really?"
He Tianran hummed a nasal sound, supported his chin with one hand, and continued in a playful tone:
"I just asked Sun Qianzhi and the others downstairs, and they also said it was very good, but I always felt that the dish was not cooked thoroughly, and it was not cooked thoroughly. It's just that these problems were covered up by the seasoning and presentation. .
I wonder if they often eat this stuff. After all, sea cucumbers are quite expensive among seafood. There are some weighing 70 to 81 kilograms, or tens of thousands. The quality varies, so I’m afraid I might misunderstand. Someone else is the chef, so I brought it here for you to try. "
He Yuanchong made a move and was speechless for a moment.
When he was young, although he was not from a poor family, who in the ordinary family could eat delicacies from all over the world?
But since He Panshan became his father, his life suddenly changed from frugal to luxurious, and he could be said to have reached the sky in one step. This change in life of rich clothing and fine food penetrated into every detail of his clothing, food, housing and transportation, and over time it made him feel , your life should be like this.
But now, when He Tianran asked him if he could taste the sea cucumber, he didn't know how to answer...
Of course he couldn't taste the difference in something like sea cucumber, but he knew the subtext of He Tianran's words, which was to insinuate that he was a second-generation rich man who was shoddy and shoddy. It looks glamorous, but in fact, sea cucumbers that lack heat are no different.
This is an obvious meaning, so He Yuanchong understood He Tianran's explanation very sensitively, because what he hates most is others talking about his identity as an illegitimate child...
"Brother, if the food is not good, go and reason with the cook. If you ask me, are you asking the wrong person?"
He Yuanchong also spoke angrily in a metaphorical tone.
If the food is not good, you go to the cook; if you have a problem with me, you go to dad.
However, He Tianran said easily: "I originally wanted to call the chef over directly, but didn't I also say that although I noticed that this thing was not good, I still have to be more patient and make judgments. After all, people are not open for business. It’s not easy, it’s hard to accumulate some word of mouth and reputation, and my mouth is not very reliable. If it spreads, it will ruin other people’s brands.”
He Yuanchong stared at him: "But I don't find anything wrong with this dish. Others have said so. Your appetite is precious. If you can't swallow it, don't worry too much, right?"
"I can't help it, I'm still relatively free." He Tianran turned the menu on the turntable in front of him. He flipped it open with leisurely time and asked narrowly: "Hey, how much do you think this dish costs?"
He made a gesture and mouthed an astonishing figure: "850 yuan, what about grabbing money? Do you think it's reasonable?"
He Yuanchong replied in a deep voice: "That's reasonable. Since someone is willing to buy it, it means it's worth the money, and it's just a small amount for you. It's a little fussy to care about it like this, right?"
He Tianran waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother, if dad hears this, he will probably scold you to death. Neither of us, father and son, like to be taken advantage of. Do you think you can accept it?"
"..."
"And this thing, it only costs RMB 70 or RMB 80 per plate at the food stalls outside. But when it comes here, the price has increased tenfold. Why?
Isn't it because of this place that its value has been raised?
It's just that since this dish is listed as the signature dish of this restaurant, there will always be some diners who are ignorant but come here to order it. If the price increases in the future, wouldn't it be harmful? I will Pointing out the problem serves as a warning to others. Maybe the store will thank me in the future. So, do you think I should be more troubled and thoughtful about this dish? "
"...Then what do you think we should do? Change the sign? As far as I know, this store has nothing else to offer!"
He Yuanchong's face was clouded. If he was just selling sea cucumbers for seventy or eighty yuan a plate, then He Tianran's previous actions probably didn't even count as seaweed.
He Tianran whistled, "Look at what you said, have you never cooked before? In fact, the chef and the restaurant want to recommend a dish, which means changing the menu."
"Maybe that new dish isn't made from real ingredients?"
He Yuanchong said this with gritted teeth.
He Tianran put down the menu casually, took the chopsticks, picked up a quail egg from the oolong bead, and threw it into his mouth. Then he waved the chopsticks in his hand easily and chewed:
"Brother, don't you understand? You are such a smart person, how come you suddenly can't figure it out?
It doesn’t matter whether the new signboard of this store is genuine or not. What’s important is that I found something wrong with the sea cucumber in front of you. This is the key point! In other words, it has to be replaced no matter what, and returned to where it should be..."
He Tianran swallowed the food in his mouth, and also emphasized the tone, said calmly, and kept smiling:
"Original, existence, location, location."
The man hides his sword in his smile, but his plans are revealed!
This was a ruthless side that He Yuanchong had never seen in He Tianran before. When he saw it with his own eyes, he was already being held in his hands and was helpless!
For a moment, He Yuan rushed to him and saw the shadow of He Panshan.
If He Panshan, as the head of the family, has cultivated the courage of a mountain patrol tiger through many years of hard work in the business world, which makes people look intimidated, then He Tianran is more like a silent sharp-headed snake, usually circling around. In the corner, blending into the background, stiff and motionless, making it difficult for people to notice his presence.
And if someone doesn't believe in evil and must provoke him, then when the snake shows its fangs...
The matter is over.
"You can...not tell..."
At this point, He Yuanchong had been caught and had no choice but to admit his defeat. He responded in a muffled voice between his lips and teeth, which was regarded as his last struggle.
They kept using vegetables as metaphors, which gave He Yuanchong an unreasonable illusion that he could still turn around.
But the next second, He Tianran categorically put an end to this illusion. He still complained loudly about the dish as if it were a deer but a horse:
"Don't tell me? Why don't you tell me? I don't care if this sea cucumber is from a food stall or from a high-end restaurant. As long as it's done well, I can actually accept it. But the main thing is that it disgusts me. You do you know?"
"..."
Having said this, He Tianran slapped the table with his big hand, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to jump. This sudden move also made He Yuanchong shrink subconsciously.
He saw He Tianran banging the table repeatedly and continuing to curse:
"It's disgusting, brother! It's disgusting! You said this sea cucumber is not a human being, and it won't take the initiative to apologize. I took a bite and I couldn't even spit out the sand in my mouth. Isn't this disgusting?!"
The expression on He Yuanchong's face was really like a mute who had eaten Coptis chinensis, with yin and yang in and out.
After He Tianran finished venting, he inserted his hands into his hair and smoothed back the messy hair on his forehead. His eyebrows, which were usually a bit melancholy, were now as sharp as a knife.
After just a moment, He Tianran's face no longer showed the irritability just now, but he asked again with unusual indifference:
"Brother, tell me, will the sea cucumber say sorry?"
He Yuanchong was already confused by the other party's moody mood, but he just paused, and another thunder suddenly sounded in his ears.
Snapped--!
Before he could answer, He Tianran suddenly hammered the table, the angry look on his face reappeared, he stood up suddenly, and attacked him in three and two steps!
This sudden sense of great crisis made He Yuanchong startled. The hair on his body stood up, and he subconsciously wanted to run away. But before he could make a move, He Tianran held down the back of the chair with one hand and pressed the table with the other. On the way, his body blocked his path...
The face of her brother was right in front of her. The oppressive feeling of this distance made it difficult for her to even breathe. The angry face of the King stared directly at her, and at the same time, her mouth made a terrifying sound. The sound of cracking:
"Do you think it will apologize?!"
He Yuanchong was already driven to the edge of mental collapse by He Tianran's sudden and sudden way of doing things. He couldn't help but hold his hands in front of him, curled his legs, closed his eyes, and said something like begging for mercy. Repeatedly:
"I can speak well, brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
This scene was funny and ridiculous, but He Tianran had no expression on his face, leaving only a sense of sadness in his heart.
No one could have imagined that He Yuanchong, who had always been competitive and wanted to be a big man like He Panshan, put aside his wealthy status and skin, and his heart was actually the same as what he showed now. Relying on a little cleverness, after gaining power, vanity took over and he began to act randomly.
As long as you press hard, your true colors will be revealed.
Things are unpredictable, and different environments create different personalities for everyone. He Tianran doesn't want to think about the cause and effect anymore.
There was no movement in the box for a while.
He Yuanchong regained his composure after a burst of exclamation. He was already covered in cold sweat. There was no expected ridicule or ridicule in his ears. His hands that covered his sight slowly moved away, touching He Tianran's condescending indifference. After looking away, he quickly avoided...
"Do you know why I'm in this box today?"
"..."
"Do you know why I would doubt you?"
"..."
He Tianran asked calmly, He Yuanchong was curious in his heart, but his body was as timid as a mouse.
This nominal brother patted him on the shoulder, leaned down, and whispered:
"You are so kind to the people around you. When I ask them, they will tell me everything. It makes sense. Why would they want to help an illegitimate child?"
He Yuanchong's eyes widened and he looked at He Tianran in disbelief:
"who is it……?"
He Tianran shrugged and continued:
"I will tell my father all the things you did to me, as if you were going to frame everything on me."
"...Why do you know?! Who told you this?!"
He Yuanchong's last line of defense was finally completely broken down. Everything he did seemed to be done under the nose of He Tianran. This intense frustration and frustration swept through his body, making him couldn't help shouting. .
Of course He Tianran would not tell him that these were the results of his own inferences about the future memory, and he would not tell the truth about Cao Aiqing being here, and frame all this on the person around him. A group of foxes, friends, and friends is undoubtedly the best choice to use their tactics to kill people and kill people.
Every man can imagine that many names must have flashed through his brother's mind at this moment, and the girl named Xia Qiao must be at the top.
He wanted to tell He Yuanchong that the best time to plant a seed that would cause a relationship of trust to fall apart was when a person collapsed, and now was the best example.
He Tianran stretched out his hand, and He Yuanchong shrank again, but this time, it was much calmer.
The latter felt that the bridge of his nose was empty. It turned out that He Tianran had taken off his gold-rimmed glasses and put them on his eyes.
"I know you want a father. You think He Panshan is very kind to you, right? Well, you should be able to feel it enough this time."
He Tianran took out his mobile phone, turned on the speakerphone in front of He Yuanchong, and called He Panshan...
This move was like pronouncing a death sentence in public. He Yuanchong quickly grabbed his arm and begged for mercy again:
"……Don't!"
He Tianran looked at his younger brother whose spirit had been damaged by him to the point of being vulnerable, and said disdainfully:
"You can get out, or... you can find someone to protect you? For example, your mother?"
He Yuanchong thought for a moment that he had heard wrongly and did not dare to move.
The "beeps" coming from the phone were like a countdown to death, each one hitting He Yuanchong's fragile nerves.
"roll!"
He Tianran kicked his desk and chair over, and He Yuanchong, who fell to the ground, rushed out of the box in the next second...
"Hello, Tianran? It's rare for me to receive a call from you."
He Panshan's familiar voice came over the phone. It sounded like the other party was in a good mood.
He Tianran sat down again and pushed up his glasses with his fingers.
"Dad, this is not the last time we went to sea. Didn't you tell me that I would report the latest situation to you in time? But after hearing what I am going to report next, you may not be in a good mood."
"Hey, it's rare for you to take notice of me. What can happen to you? Tell me, are you short of money or something?"
Hearing his father's question, He Tianran carefully took another piece of sea cucumber and put it in his mouth.
There is really nothing wrong with this dish.
