After Zhou Li saw Jiang Mingzhu swallowing, his eyes softened a little unconsciously.
He took out the cutlery and plates from the drawer and put them over: "Eat."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you."
She pulled the dinner plate closer to her body, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a boiled shrimp to eat.
Jiang Mingzhu ate the shrimp without spitting out the shell. After removing the head, she stuffed the whole shrimp into her mouth.
Zhou Li frowned when he heard the clicking sound: "Why don't you peel it?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I like to eat it in the shell."
Zhou Li: "..."
After eating a shrimp, Jiang Mingzhu thought of business: "Can we talk about Liu Pei's ex-girlfriend now?"
Zhou Li: "She told Captain Chen that Liu Pei had taken her to dinner with Zhan Yubai and Pei... your brother before."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What else?"
Zhou Li: "Liu Pei has a used mobile phone at her place, but it has been broken for a long time."
"The criminal police team contacted someone to repair the data. We are currently waiting for the results." Zhou Li did not hide anything and told Jiang Mingzhu all the information he knew.
Jiang Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, full of hope.
If Liu Pei's mobile phone can reveal his previous dealings with Zhan Yubai, then Zhan Yubai's crime of illegally stealing other people's organs will be established.
This is something she has always dreamed of accomplishing.
Jiang Mingzhu: "How long does it take to restore data?"
Zhou Li: "Not sure."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then if you have any news, remember to tell me."
She said this very softly, with a slight upward pitch at the end, which sounded particularly coquettish.
But it's different from the pretentious cooing before.
This time it was her original appearance.
Zhou Li had been jealous of Jiang Mingzhu's liveliness and coquettishness in front of others countless times. This time it was finally his turn to enjoy this treatment in person.
Zhou Li put a few shrimps on the plate and skillfully wrapped and peeled the shrimps, removing the heads and tails.
Jiang Mingzhu ate rice and watched Zhou Li peel the shrimps. She couldn't help but sigh that some people are born with extraordinary abilities, and they can even do the action of removing shrimp shells so elegantly and noblely.
When Jiang Mingzhu was distracted, a few peeled shrimps suddenly appeared on the plate in front of her.
It was Zhou Li who gave her everything that had been handled just now.
Jiang Mingzhu: "?"
Zhou Li: "It tastes better this way, try it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you."
Zhou Li went to wash his hands, sat back and continued eating.
Jiang Mingzhu ate the shrimp Zhou Li had peeled and glanced at him from time to time.
Jiang Mingzhu was rarely silent when getting along with others, but when she was alone with Zhou Li, she really couldn't find a topic to talk about.
Very awkward.
Jiang Mingzhu ate a meal in silence. It was completely dark outside.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm going back first. If Captain Chen gives you news, please remember to contact me."
She waved to Zhou Li, picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Zhou Li: "Wait a moment."
He went to the refrigerator in the kitchen and took out the cakes and bread Jiang Mingzhu had just bought: "This is for you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then I'll take it back, thank you."
She didn't refuse Zhou Li's kindness and went to pick it up.
But Zhou Li didn't give it to her. He took the shopping bag, changed his shoes, and picked up the car keys: "I'll give it to you."
——
Zhou Li turned the steering wheel and drove on the way to the Prime Minister's Villa. His peripheral vision never moved away from Jiang Mingzhu.
When he proposed to send Jiang Mingzhu back just now, he was already prepared to be rejected by her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingzhu followed him into the car.
Although he didn't speak, he was already very content.
After practicing it several times, Zhou Li felt that the advice Zhou Yi gave him was pretty good, and being thick-skinned could indeed solve many problems.
So Zhou Li decided to seriously implement this principle in the next time.
After the car stopped at the Xiangfu Villa, Zhou Li unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car with Jiang Mingzhu.
Under Jiang Mingzhu's surprised gaze, Zhou Li said calmly: "It's heavy, I'll send it in."
It seems to be giving something away, but the actual purpose is obvious.
Jiang Mingzhu: "My mother is here."
Zhou Li: "I'll send you in and then come out."
He walked forward naturally carrying the shopping bag. Jiang Mingzhu looked at his back and had the illusion that he was the master.
Is it her illusion? Why is Zhou Li looking so shameless now?
Because Jiang Mingzhu was in a daze for a while, Zhou Li walked to the door first. After he stopped, he raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
He Chuyan behind the door showed a surprised expression when she saw Zhou Li: "Zhou Li, are you okay?"
Just as He Chuyan finished asking, Jiang Mingzhu came over.
Zhou Li: "I'll send her back."
He Chuyan: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Li: "It doesn't matter."
He handed the things in his hand to He Chuyan without too much entanglement: "I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhou Li turned around and met Jiang Mingzhu's gaze again. Jiang Mingzhu raised her hand and shook it: "Bye."
He Chuyan went to the kitchen to put things away, then returned to the living room and sat down next to Jiang Mingzhu.
He Chuyan: "Didn't you go to the foundation's activities today?"
Jiang Mingzhu had just guessed that He Chuyan would definitely ask about Zhou Li: "He also went to the event. There is some news from the police. We had a meal while chatting."
Jiang Mingzhu still gave a watertight answer.
He Chuyan stared at her eyes for a while before asking, "What's the news from the police?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "They found Liu Pei's ex-girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend had a mobile phone that Liu Pei had used before."
Speaking of this matter, Jiang Mingzhu's tone could not hide her excitement: "Maybe we can find evidence from back then."
He Chuyan was also very pleased after hearing this.
Assuming that the evidence can really be found, Jiang Mingzhu will be the happiest when Zhan Yubai has an additional crime.
This is an obsession that has been rooted in her heart for many years.
He Chuyan had never thought that the police would put a lot of energy into this matter. After all, compared to large-scale experiments, the impact of this case was not that big.
And it has been many years.
Presumably Zhou Li played a lot of role in this.
It's obvious what his purpose is.
After a while of silence, He Chuyan asked Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu, what do you think of Zhou Li?"
Jiang Mingzhu responded like a conditioned reflex: "I don't like him."
He Chuyan was silent for a few seconds: "I didn't ask you this."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
He Chuyan: "I just asked you how he is, and your answer is that you don't like him."
She narrowed her eyes, "Zhuzhu, do you like Zhou Li a little bit?"
Older gingers are more spicy.
When Jiang Mingzhu mentioned Zhou Li, she would reveal various flaws, which was completely different from her usual fully armed state.
He Chuyan could easily see the clues.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered his head and fell into silence.
He Chuyan did not continue to ask aggressively and gave her time to think and buffer.
Jiang Mingzhu was silent for five minutes this time.
He Chuyan saw her fingers entangled together, very tight and hard.
Then she took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Mom...will my brother be disappointed in me?"
