Rude Boss’s Exclusive Love - C57
Lin Xiyao covered up her pride and said to Zhong Luozheng, “I’m not someone who doesn’t know how to repay a favor. To have this day, I naturally have to thank Chief Zhong for his nurturing. “However …”
Zhong Luozhan controlled his temper and raised his eyebrows, indicating that she should continue.
“However, Director Zhong knows that I have a bit of a reputation now, so I naturally have to offend many seniors. If something were to happen to me …”
Zhong Luozhan already knew that in just a short span of one year, Lin Xiyao had offended many people. Now that she had ‘lost her favor’, she naturally had to plan ahead.
Zhong Luozhuang was of the opinion that there was nothing wrong with this. After all, he owed her.
“Don’t worry, I will take full responsibility for your safety.” As Zhong Luozhuang spoke, he gave Yun Xiang a call and asked him to make the arrangements.
Only then did Lin Xiyao relax. Smiling, she said to Zhong Luozhuang, “Then I wish us a happy cooperation.” That day, when I didn’t make any announcements, would you like to have a meal together? ”
Zhong Luozhuang agreed, “I will let Yun Xiang arrange it.”
After finishing her business, Lin Xiyao turned around and left. Unexpectedly, she didn’t procrastinate at all.
Zhong Luozheng’s expression became serious. Since when did Lin Ximing become so easy to talk to?
On the other side, Xia Xiaomin was looking at the headache-inducing French, which was really painful.
When Wu Bo went up to bring her some tea, he inadvertently glanced at it and said, “Miss Xia wants to learn French, so you can learn it from young master. Young master grew up in France.”
“Zhong Luozhan grew up in France?” Xia Xiaomin thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I’d rather not. He’s always saying I’m stupid.” His patience is so bad, and his temper is so bad. If I were to get taught by him, wouldn’t I be scolded by him everyday? ”
Wu Bo held back his laughter, “How can that be? Although the Young Master is a little harsh on them, he has a strict teacher with a good disciple. ”
Xia Xiaomin insisted that she would rather study hard than ask for help.
In the afternoon, Zhou Lin came over to see her hand. Xia Xiaomin asked him when he could be well, and Zhou Lin said it would take about a week.
Xia Xiaomin was dejected.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Lin asked.
Xia Xiaomin came back to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’d be so bored that I’d be flustered if I thought about it for a week.”
Zhou Lin saw that she did not want to say anything, so he did not pursue the matter. He packed his things and left.
Watching Zhou Lin’s leaving figure, Xia Xiaomin silently cursed herself for being stupid. He clearly wanted to ask if it was true that his grandma said Zhong Luozhan had been given an overdose of sleeping pills. However, she didn’t dare to ask when the words were about to reach her mouth.
Xu Shangwu had no choice but to go with Lu Ni.
After they left, Xia Xiaomin was sulking in the kitchen. Actually, she didn’t know what she was angry about. Wasn’t it just a meal? What’s the big deal? It’s not like I’ve never eaten before.
However, her heart was so full of panic that Xia Xiaomin couldn’t help but look at her favorite spatula with an unsightly expression.
Inside the private box, Lin XIyao praised Xu Shangwu’s culinary skills with a wide smile. She even pulled on Lu Ni’s hand, saying that she had a pair of delicate hands and must ask her for guidance when she had time, making Lu Ni feel a little embarrassed.
Zhong Luozhan’s expression was still indifferent. Seeing that Lin XIyao had almost finished eating, he got up and said, “I’ll get the chauffeur to take you back.”
Lin Xiyao didn’t linger any longer and stood up to leave as well. Before she left, she even smiled at Lu Ni, bending over and saying something that caused her to be stunned for a moment.
On the way back to the kitchen, Xu Shangwu asked casually: “What did Miss Lin say to you just now?”
Lu Ni’s complexion changed as she recalled Lin XIyao’s words, but she quickly recovered. Smiling, she said, “It’s nothing, I was just praising Master’s culinary skills.”
Xu Shangwu didn’t believe her. After staring at Lu Ni for a long time, he looked away and said, “Lu Ni, listen to some words. Someone like Miss Lin is not someone we can reach easily.”
“Master, I know.” But in her heart, she had a different opinion of what her master had said.
Xia Xiaomin could reach up to Zhong Luozhuang, so why couldn’t she, Lu Ni, reach up to the top? Although she also knew that this Lin Xiyao didn’t have much ability, she was at least a springboard.
Xu Shangwu and Lu Ni returned to the kitchen, where they also had their lunch break.
Xu Shangwu thought for a while before calling Xia Xiaomin.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Xia Xiaomin asked with a smile, hiding her thoughts.
Xu Shangwu sighed and said: “I saw that Lin XIyao today. Xiao Min, this woman isn’t simple, you have to be careful yourself.”
Xia Xiaomin didn’t mind. “Master, I’m just a chef, what can I possibly have with her?”
“Aren’t you going to …” He had originally wanted to say that Xia Xiaomin had some sort of relationship with Zhong Luochen, and his master was worried that she would be bullied by Lin XIyao.
However, when the words came to his mouth, he saw that there was still someone in the kitchen, so he suppressed it and awkwardly laughed dryly before saying, “Since you say so, then forget it.”
How could Xia Xiaomin not know that her master cared about her? However, she was truly a bit … He couldn’t bear it.
After work, Xia Xiaomin asked Lu Ni if she wanted to stay and practice. Lu Ni said that she had something to do tonight, so she left first.
Xia Xiaomin thought it was a matter of her family, so she didn’t ask, but the truth was that Lu Ni had gone to see Lin XIyao.
Arriving at Lin Xi Yao’s house, Luc Ni pressed the doorbell without hesitation.
The door was opened by Lin XIyao’s maid. After letting Lu Ni in, she poured some water and left. Seeing the decorations in Lin Xiyao’s house, Luc Ni sighed once again, the rich are just different.
“Luna, you’re smarter than I thought.” Lin Xiyao walked out, wearing a bathrobe.
Lu Ni stood up with restraint, but Lin XIyao urged her to sit down quickly, “Why are you being so courteous to me? Aren’t we already friends? ”
Lin XIyao sized up Lu Ni from head to toe, “You, without your chef uniform, are even more beautiful.”
“Miss Lin must be joking.” Lu Ni lowered her head. She couldn’t help but recall the time when Lin Xiyao had whispered Xia Xiaomin’s name and the address that had been given to her when she had left the hotel.
Lu Ni wasn’t stupid, she naturally understood what Lin Xiyao meant. Now that she was here, she didn’t want to beat around the bush. She directly asked, “What does Miss Lin want me to do?”
“Lu Nicole is so straightforward.” Lin Xiyao lazily leaned against the sofa cushion, and slowly said, “In another month, the new Northern Cuisine Competition will begin. If I’m not wrong, your master will probably choose one of the two of you to go on the stage with him.”
Lu Ni bit her lips and said hatefully, “Master will bring Xia Xiaomin.”
“It’s good that you understand, but it doesn’t matter. There are plenty of opportunities. “I’ll give it to Xia Xiaomin this time. I’ll give you the rest.” As she spoke, Lin Xiyao took out a piece of paper from her bag, on which was written a million yuan.
Lin Xi Yao casually glanced at Lu Ni, and then continued: “I already know everything about your family, which family doesn’t have a hard time? “Luna, I’ll help you pay them back. As long as you do what I tell you to do, this one million will be yours.”
1 million…
Lu Ni extended her hand out, but she was still hesitant. Her five fingers curled as she suddenly opened them and took the cheque. She asked, “What does Miss Lin want me to do?”
Lin Xiyao looked at Lu Ni with a complacent look.
“I want you to help me make Xia Xiaomin busy preparing for the Chef Competition within a month.”
“It’s that simple?”
“Of course not, for the time being, I’ll look for you if there’s anything.” Noticing Lu Ni’s hesitation, Lin XIyao added another fire, “Anyways, your master is biased towards Xia Xiaomin. Since we can’t stand up together as chefs, have you thought of any other way out? I can help you. ”
Lin XIyao’s allure was nothing for Lu Ni. Within ten seconds, she had nodded in agreement.
The two of them came to a consensus to deal with Xia Xiaomin together.
As she walked out of Lin Xiyao’s house, she looked down at the cheque in her hand.
Xia Xiaomin, don’t blame me. You and your master forced me to do this.
However, Xia Xiaomin didn’t go back to her house after work. Instead, she wandered around the park until Zhong Luozhan found her angrily. She looked like she wanted to eat Xia Xiaoming up.
“Are you coming back after work? What are you hanging around here for?” Zhong Luochen shouted at her, but not long ago, she was almost beaten up by someone … Why is it so worrying?
Xia Xiaomin’s chest felt heavy from his shout, but it felt much better.
Xia Xiaomin blinked at his angry face. “I was just about to go back when you found me.”
“You have the nerve to say that?” If he hadn’t checked her phone location, how could he have found her so quickly? If anything happened, he would definitely teach her a lesson!
Since he couldn’t say these words, he could only suppress them in his heart.
However, Zhong Luozhan wasn’t the type of person to make himself feel wronged. He grabbed her and kissed her.
Finally, looking at the dazed Xia Xiaomin, Zhong Luochen warned her, “If you don’t come home after work next time, then it won’t be this simple.”
Sure enough, Xia Xiaomin reacted by stepping mercilessly on Zhong Luozheng’s expensive leather shoes. “Zhong Luozheng, you’re the one who kissed me!”
Bastard, to kill someone with a thousand knives, how many times had he said not to make a mistake?
Exhaustion was written all over Zhong Luozhan’s face. Recently, one meeting after another had drained his brain. Now, he still had to divide some of his intelligence to teach this stupid woman. How tiring!
Seeing Xia Xiaomin so unrelenting, Zhong Luozheng couldn’t be bothered with her. “It doesn’t matter whether I let you say it or not.” “It depends on my mood.”
Xia Xiaomin resisted the urge to send him flying with a kick, and finally looked at the person in front of her. Under the dim light, fatigue could be seen in his eyes.
Xia Xiaomin wasn’t a stone-hearted person. Seeing that he had come looking for her, she didn’t want to bother with him this time, so she obediently followed him back.
After returning to the villa, he asked Wu Bo to make some food for Xia Xiaomin, so Zhong Luozhan went upstairs.
“Xia Xiaomin, what do you want to eat?”
