The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 52: The Adopted Daughter of a Wealthy Family (8)

Bai Zhuo noticed Jian Fan's urgency and asked, "Then I'll come over tomorrow?"

"Well, don't bother cooking tomorrow. Let's go out to eat. I'll try to finish the pressing work today."

"It's okay. Just take a rest. My shop isn't busy so it won't take long to cook a meal."

"When I have free time, I will practice my cooking skills and we can cook together." Jian Fan smiled gently.

"Ah."

Jian Fan was not just talking about practicing his cooking skills. A week later, after he finished the pile of tasks at the company, he really started to practice his cooking skills. So his relationship with Bai Zhuo became that Bai Zhuo would bring lunch to Jian Fan and they would eat together at the company at noon, and Jian Fan would cook dinner for Bai Zhuo to taste at night.

"Why did Big Brother come to the company?"

Bai Yao glanced at Jian Fan calmly. The enviable relationship between the Jian couple had already spread to the Bai family's company, so naturally he had to come and take a look.

"You look good recently." He really looks good, his face is full of happiness and joy. If Bai Yao is not mistaken, Jian Fan has gained weight.

"Zhuozhuo took good care of him." Jian Fan was naturally good at reading people's expressions. Bai Yao wanted to tell Jian Fan not to let Baizhuo get tired, but when he thought of his parents' advice, he said nothing.

"I heard that Mr. Dupont from Country F will come to City A the day after tomorrow. The Fang family is holding a welcome banquet for him. Here is the invitation. If you have time, go there."

Jian Fan's eyes lit up. His last business trip was to cooperate with Dupont in Country F but he didn't make any progress. This time Dupont's visit to City A was a good opportunity.

"Thank you, brother. I will definitely go."

Bai Yao originally wanted to tell Jian Fan to take good care of Bai Zhuo, but after looking at Jian Fan's condition, he said nothing. Bai Yao always knew that too much is as bad as too little. He just hoped that their vision was right and that Jian Fan could be a good husband.

"Zhuozhuo, the Fang family is going to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow. My eldest brother sent me an invitation today. Do you want to go with them?" Bai Zhuo had not participated in any business entertainment in the past year.

In Jian Fan's memory, Bai Zhuo appeared in front of everyone only twice.

One time was when the Bai family held a family reunion party for Bai Zhuo. It was also at that time that Jian Fan first met Bai Zhuo, a man with a cool and aloof temperament.

Jian Fan still remembers Bai Zhuo sitting in front of the piano with an expressionless face as he played a cheerful tune. His superb piano skills moved everyone at the banquet with the cheerful music, but the performer himself was always detached and immersed in his own world.

At that time, Jian Fan inexplicably felt pity for this girl. Jian Fan always felt that this person needed someone to help her and bring her back to the lively and warm world. So when Bai's parents came to the house and said that they wanted him and Bai Zhuo to have a blind date, Jian Fan agreed without hesitation.

There was another time when Bai Zhuo appeared in front of everyone, which was at his wedding with Jian Fan. At that time, Bai Zhuo had a gentle smile on his face and seemed very relaxed.

Jian Fan thought he had finally brought the girl who was wandering outside the world back into the world, until later he found that as long as Bai Zhuo wanted her, she would always smile, but it was unknown how much of this smile was real or fake. She just habitually let others think she was happy, and she didn't want others to see her true emotions, even her husband.

Maybe it’s tiring to always smile, so Bai Zhuo would always ask them if they didn’t go to the banquet after the wedding.

But the answer given by Jian Fan was always no, so much so that they had never appeared in public together for a whole year after their marriage.

But this banquet was different, it was held by the Fang family, Bai Yao and Fang Minqing had been in contact recently, if nothing unexpected happened, Bai Yao and Fang Minqing should get married. So Jian Fan thought that Bai Zhuo should go with him this time, if Bai Zhuo refused he would try to persuade Bai Zhuo.

But Jian Fan felt that Bai Zhuo would not refuse. After all, Bai Zhuo's recent changes were visible to the naked eye.

Sure enough, Bai Zhuo nodded directly. She also asked, "Do you know what the Fang family likes?" When meeting the family of someone who might become your sister-in-law, you certainly can't be casual on the first meeting.

"Brother has said that I have asked someone to prepare it. When the things arrive tomorrow, can you check them to see if they are suitable?"

Bai Zhuo nodded, feeling mixed emotions. She was not a qualified wife, but Jian Fan must be a qualified husband, attentive, considerate, and thorough.

It should be no pressure to get along with such a person, but Bai Zhuo became more and more anxious. Because the better the simple and complex, the more Bai Zhuo realized that he was not qualified.

Bai Zhuo knew that everything she did was too superficial. Even if she cooked for Jian Fan countless times, matched countless sets of clothes for him, tied countless ties for him, and even cooperated with Jian Fan in all his intimacy, it could not change the fact that she was not a qualified wife.

How could a qualified wife not like her husband and feel that her husband's thoughtfulness is a pressure to her?

But every time when Bai Zhuo wanted to accept wholeheartedly and enjoy Jian Fan's kindness to her, the faces of Jiang Song, Shui Chengwen and Shui's parents would keep appearing in front of her. They seemed to be asking why she had messed up everything but could live so easily now.

The client's wish is to find Shui Chengwen if possible and atone for her sins to him. Because the client feels that Shui Chengwen doesn't want to see her, and her existence is a burden and pressure to him.

But now it seems that if Shui Chengwen cannot be found, the Shui family’s problems are not resolved, and her psychological problems are not cured, she will not be able to complete other tasks at all.

But how can she find Shui Chengwen? The client had looked everywhere and asked everyone, but there was no news about Shui Chengwen. Where else could she find him? There was no clue about Shui Chengwen, so Bai Zhuo could only take care of the things at hand.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the Fang family to hold a banquet. It was the first time for Bai Zhuo and Jian Fan to go to the Fang family, and because of Bai Yao's matter, they arrived a little early.

Seeing Bai Yao's frown, it seemed like something had happened. "Brother, what happened?" Noticing that Bai Yao's face was not right, Bai Zhuo and Jian Fan walked to Bai Yao's side in tacit understanding.

"I heard that Mr. Dupont is a fan of Chinese culture, so the Fang family changed the regular banquet into a small concert of traditional Chinese instruments. However, one of the performers in the band that had been arranged to perform changed his mind at the last minute because he wanted to participate in a very important competition."

"Since it's a small concert, it won't be just her performance. Can't we remove her performance?" Jian Fan asked.

"Her solo program can be removed, but she is the backbone of the orchestra. She also has a place in the ensemble, and it is very important."
