After taking them in to see Liang Huan, Lan Xi was in a worse mood than before. Suddenly decided not to go back.
After handing them over to Liang Huan, he immediately hid outside and called Xu Shasha, saying that there were still things to deal with here. Please tell me the name of the customer and I will call her to explain. Xu Shasha didn't call back directly, but waited a moment and sent her a text message. She told Lan Xi in the message that the client was a woman, but she did not want to reveal her name. She also said that she had conveyed her intention to the customer, and the customer had no objection and decided to come back to her another day.
Lan Xi was deeply surprised. This was the first time she heard that a client didn't want her to know his name. So who is this customer?
I turned off my phone and started thinking in my mind. After being stunned for a while, he couldn't think of much and hurried back to find Meng Yuxi and Liang Xiaohui.
The situation on Xu Shasha's side has changed slightly. Lan Xiaohu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with his mobile phone, went to the bathroom. Xu Shasha was still busy in the kitchen and had no time to chat with the guests.
Miss Casey was sitting in a chair in the living room watching television. Sitting next to him was Liu Yusheng’s wife Qiao Shufen.
Kathy said: "Sister Qiao, your husband Mr. Liu Yusheng has not been seen in recent days, and he is not working in the company. Where has he gone? Do you know?"
It turns out that the client of Lan Xi that Xu Shasha was talking about was Ms. Qiao Shufen.
She had something very important to talk to Lan Xi about, but Lan Xi accompanied Liang Huan to the city hospital to visit his mother. Unfortunately, he could only leave her a message through Xu Shasha. She didn't want to give out her cell phone number to outsiders. In her eyes, except for her husband Liu Yusheng, everyone else may be an outsider. But what she didn't expect was that she met Miss Casey, a mysterious foreign woman whose husband had mentioned to her, here. This was something she never expected.
Faced with Miss Casey's sudden question, Qiao Shufen was already prepared to deal with it.
"Oh, my man went out to do some business. After breakfast this morning, he left with the chairman. He is probably at his destination now. What's wrong, Miss Casey, are you familiar with my man? Or does he like you? Did you do something outrageous?"
There was a rhetorical tone in the words, which made Miss Casey not sure how to answer.
Lan Xiaohu came back from the bathroom, went straight to the sofa and sat down without saying anything, then turned around to chat with Miss Casey.
Qiao Shufen didn't care. She smiled, closed her mouth and stopped talking. She calmed down and watched TV.
Casey said: "Officer Lan, can you please stop looking at me like that? Your girlfriend is still cooking in the kitchen. She doesn't want to go in and help. You Chinese men are very particular. Go and help."
Lan Xiaohu glanced at the door of the kitchen, and happened to see Xu Shasha peeking out, laughing, and walked over in a hurry. Xu Shasha said who asked you to come. Get lost. Lan Xiaohu was not angry. He hugged Xu Shasha in front of Casey and Qiao Shufen, and said with a smile that you are my wife. I can do whatever I want to you. Outsiders have no right to interfere.
Xu Shasha blushed and pinched him. Lan Xiaohu grinned in pain and simply walked in and closed the kitchen door.
"Hey, you two, don't mess around in there, or the smell will leak into the pot. Who will dare to eat your cooking then?"
Casey actually joked with great humor. After saying that, even I couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Shufen said: "Oh, don't say that, Miss Casey. If you say anything else, I'm going to vomit."
Xu Shasha took this opportunity to open the door and handle it with her hand; Lan Xiaohu pushed it out and said: "Screw you, what are you causing trouble for?"
Lan Xiaohu chuckled slyly, looked back and saw that the two beauties were not paying attention, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xu Shasha.
Xu Shasha opened his hand with a charming smile and returned to the kitchen to concentrate on cooking.
Satisfied, I sat back on the chair and took out my phone to watch TikTok. Take selfies. I'm on leave today, so I don't have to go to work. But there were still things that had not been settled. I was going to have lunch and went to the police station to find Fan Xiaoye. As for Chen Li, forget it. He didn't want to have too much direct contact with him. In Lan Xiaohu's eyes, Chen Li's abilities were not as good as his. At least he could subdue the beauty Xu Shasha, but he, Chen Li, had been chasing Fan Xiaoye for so long, but he hadn't seen a single hair of hers. It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
"What is Officer Lan thinking?"
Casey noticed that Lan Xiaohu was watching Douyin and taking selfies, while frowning and thinking about something. She couldn't help but become interested in him, and came over to stare at his mobile phone screen and asked. Then she looked at him with fringe eyes, looking a bit like that.
Qiao Shufen, who was sitting next to her, didn't speak or pay attention to their actions. She turned to the TV and picked up the remote control to change the channel. I quickly searched for a popular urban drama and clicked on it to watch.
Lan Xiaohu stretched his brows and glanced at Qiao Shufen who was watching TV. Then he turned his eyes to Miss Casey and said: "What happened in the city in the past few days seems strange on the surface. So I have been wondering, is it... Those things were deliberately caused by a mysterious organization abroad. However, I have received definite information. The police have begun investigating and collecting evidence. I believe the results will be available soon. Miss Casey, aren't you worried about something? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Casey smiled and said: "I am a serious businessman, what can I be afraid of?"
Lan Xiaohu: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."
He stuffed his phone into his pocket and hid it, got up and walked out the door.
Casey looked at his back and said nothing. She knew very well that what Lan Xiaohu just said was very important. To put it bluntly, she came here to meet Lan Xiaohu. Because she was afraid of arousing Xu Shasha's suspicion, she specially roped in Qiao Shufen. It was no coincidence that as soon as she came out of the hotel, she met Qiao Shufen going to Maya's office building to find Lan Xi. So he told Qiao Shufen that Lan Xi and Liang Huan went to the city hospital to take care of his mother, and brought her to Xu Shasha's home.
It happened that Xu Shasha's mother and her husband went to Guangdong to take care of their grandson. There is no one else at home.
Qiao Shufen contacted Lan Xi through Xu Shasha. Surprisingly, Qiao Shufen was unwilling to disclose her name and phone number. This alone aroused Kathy's suspicion of her. Cathy always felt that there was some secret hidden in Liu Yusheng's wife. It's just that the relationship between the two has not been established yet, so it is not convenient to inquire. We can only wait for another opportunity in the future.
Casey said: "Sister Qiao, Assistant Xu is still cooking anyway, why don't we go out for a walk."
Qiao Shufen said: "I won't go. You and Officer Lan can go."
Xu Shasha walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of food and said, "Lan Xiaohu, what are you doing outside? Come in and wash your hands and eat."
Casey groaned, looked at his watch and said, "It's only half past eleven, isn't it a bit early?"
It's true that I'm not hungry yet, so I should wait half an hour before eating.
Qiao Shufen said: "Have you eaten? That's just right. I'm hungry. I just ate a steamed bun, a cup of soy milk and a fried dough stick when I woke up in the morning. I can't bear it anymore. Oh, I'll get the dishes and chopsticks. Where's the wine, Xu Shasha? Is there any wine at home?”
Xu Shasha took out the dishes one by one and placed them on the dining table. He replied that there was an unopened bottle of Wuliangye in the cupboard. Take it out and destroy it. You don’t have to eat and go to work anyway. It doesn’t matter if you get drunk. You can just stay overnight. The premise is that you don't get into trouble if you drink. Otherwise, no one can bear this responsibility. "
As he spoke, he set up the chairs, then opened the cupboard door, brought an unopened bottle of Wuliangye and placed it on the table. Qiao Shufen quickly took out the dishes, chopsticks and cups from the cupboard and arranged them in order.
Lan Xiaohu said that it would be fine if he had some wine. I haven’t drank for a long time, so I must drink happily this time.
Casey took the lead and picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, swallowed it and said, "Wow, Xu Shasha, I really can't tell, your cooking skills are so high. The fried meat slices are tender and fragrant, and I still want to eat them." Eat."
Xu Shasha smiled proudly, sat down next to Lan Xiaohu and said: "That's right, I'm not bragging. In Linxian City, I'm afraid there are not many unmarried girls with my cooking skills. If Miss Casey is satisfied with the food, she will You can come here often. I promise you that every dish will be different in style and taste, but they will all be delicious."
Qiao Shufen said: "Xu Shasha, just brag. I really don't believe it. Try it and see."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of pork with his chopsticks and started chewing it.
It's true, it tastes much better than what she makes at home. It is simply the first delicacy in the world.
...
"How about it, sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you."
Xu Shasha looked at Qiao Shufen eating with gusto and couldn't help but say.
Qiao Shufen said it was delicious, picked up several slices of pork with chopsticks and put them into a porcelain bowl in front of her. Then he picked up the cup and put it in front of Lan Xiaohu, asking him to pour the wine. Lan Xiaohu felt very happy. In addition to his wife, there are two beauties accompanying him for a drink. It would be strange to die unhappy. Thinking about it this way, I became even more motivated.
Kathy: "Don't you Chinese men like drinking red wine?"
After saying that, I poured myself a small half glass of white wine and tried to take a sip. I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and said it was so spicy.
Lan Xiaohu said: "Red wine tastes boring and is far inferior to the white wine we brewed ourselves."
Xu Shasha: "That's right, my husband is right. Miss Casey, since you come to our place, you have to develop the habit of drinking white wine and don't always drink red wine. Besides, the taste of red wine is a bit sour. Anyway, I'm not used to it. .”
Kathy said: "Wouldn't it be more delicious if it's sweet and sour?"
Qiao Shufen: "That's your personal opinion. Xu Shasha and I have completely the same idea."
Casey was good at adapting to the situation and said: "It's just a joke, don't take it off. The liquor made by you Chinese is also very delicious. Come on, let me toast you."
After speaking, she raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. Although she frowned, it could be seen that she drank very happily.
Xu Shasha: "Come on, everyone raise their glasses and drink it all in one go."
Lan Xiaohu could not afford to fall behind and drank two glasses of wine in a row. Xu Shasha was worried that he was drunk, so she immediately grabbed his cup and stopped him from drinking. Lan Xiaohu could only listen to her and stop drinking. Xu Shasha brought him a large bowl of rice. Lan Xiaohu didn't say anything, just took it and ate it. Because of my big body, eating one bowl was not enough and I wanted to eat a second bowl. Xu Shasha glared at him. Lan Xiaohu quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and said he was full. Then I ran to the kitchen to wash up.
Xu Shasha set a rule for him. If he didn't drink alcohol, he could only eat two small bowls at each meal. After drinking, you can only eat one bowl. Just now, out of consideration for Cathy and Qiao Shufen, they served him a large bowl of rice.
Casey said: "Sasha, does your husband usually eat like this?"
Xu Shasha muttered: "It's strange that you can gain so much weight even if you can't eat."
