I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

As soon as Mo Ran heard that the young master wanted to eat hot pot, he immediately set up a dining table on the leisure balcony. In less than an hour, the table was neatly filled with top-quality ingredients from land, sea and air.

The most eye-catching of them is a whole piece of auction-quality Iberian ham.

Mo Ran gave the task of opening the legs to Gao Zhi. Gao Zhi was a little embarrassed as he gestured left and right with the long knife. He was good at killing people, but not at cutting ham.

Mo Ran gave Lei Xing another white towel and asked him to pour wine for the young masters. Considering that the young ladies were young and not used to drinking strong red wine, Mo Ran prepared warm water, juice, fruit wine and slightly tipsy low-alcohol cocktails.

The ingredients were all prepared, and the chess game between Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi also came to an end.

The two men killed each other until they had no more soldiers and pawns, and the game ended in a draw in the most tragic way.

As night fell, the rows of ship lights in the harbor lit up again.

Inside the room, a copper pot was placed on a round table that was neither too big nor too small. Six people could sit around the table with plenty of space left.

The red soup in the pot began to boil, bubbles burst and emerge one after another, and the rising hot steam turned the glass reflecting the night view of the city into an abstract art painting.

Jiang Huashan held her chin with her hands and looked at the people sitting in rows in front of her, feeling very emotional.

Fate is truly marvelous. In their previous life, these people had nothing in common, but they never expected that they would be able to sit together and eat hotpot today?

No one knew her complicated inner feelings. Jiang Huashan picked up the strawberry juice and felt that she should clink glasses with herself.

The red oil and various spices exploded together, and the wonderful aroma quickly filled the entire house. Mo Ran was worried that the smell was too strong, so he went forward to ask Jiang Huashan.

"Ms. Jiang, there are still many candles in the storage room that haven't been lit. Would you like to use them together tonight?"

"puff--"

Jiang Huashan couldn't help herself, and the emotions she had just built up were succumbed to Mo Ran's candle.

Shen Guiling sat across from her, calmly handed her the paper, and answered for her, "No, save it for later."

Mo Ran nodded, "Yes, the soup base is ready. I'll go make the dipping sauce for everyone. Is there anything you shouldn't eat?"

Su Miao was secretly shocked. Where did she hire this assistant? She was clearly an all-round nanny.

Shen Mianzhi, "I don't eat cilantro, garlic, or onions."

Su Zhuo silently took note of it and decided not to eat it again.

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "Brother Lan Xi, Brother A Zhuo, I'm happy today, would you like to drink something?"

Su Zhuo nodded. If Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi hadn't reported the news in time, the Su family would still be in turmoil. And Jiang Huashan, the Su family always remembered her kindness, and Su Zhuo was worried about how to express his gratitude.

Shen Lanxi looked cold, but did not refuse.

Seeing this, Lei Xing immediately stepped forward to pour wine.

Gao Zhi knew that his young master was not used to eating with others, so he sliced a full plate of ham for Shen Lanxi.

Lei Xing's whole mind was on Shen Guiling. Whenever he saw the wine glass was empty, he would fill it up, fearing that his young master would not drink too much.

"..." Shen Guiling finally couldn't hold back any longer and pressed down the red wine glass. "You've all worked hard, so sit down and eat together."

The three of them looked at each other.

Su Miao agreed, "Yeah, we've been busy all day, let's eat together. Hot pot tastes better when there are more people."

Shen Mianzhi stood up and moved his seat, and Su Zhuo stood up as well.

The oil in the pot was boiling hotter and hotter, and eight people just filled the round table.

Lei Xinghan poured Gao Zhi a full cup and said, "You said last time you would have a drink when you had the chance. Now is the chance."

"..." Gao Zhi took a mouthful of the expensive ham with an expressionless face, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, but the villain in his heart was shouting wildly, "Hey, hey, hey! That's just a polite remark! Don't you understand polite words?"

The atmosphere was unusually harmonious. Jiang Huashan suddenly remembered what she had promised Fu Suier and made a video call.

"Let's have hot pot together?"

Although Fu Sui'er was clamped on the mobile phone holder, she felt very involved and asked Mo Ran to prepare a bowl of spicy and numbing dipping sauce for her.

Is this even possible? Su Miao was inspired and pulled out her phone to find a photo of Zhou Qishan. "Assistant Mo, please make another dipping sauce. Add more cumin."

"You..." Jiang Huashan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. "Assistant Mo, turn on the TV."

Octopus Mo Ran is online.

The local news station was still replaying the clip of Shen Zhuang's visit to Country S. When the camera switched to Shen Zhuang, Jiang Huashan raised the strawberry juice in her hand and said, "Come on, come on, cheers!"

Everyone was amused by her and responded by raising their glasses.

At the moment when the wine glass and juice collided, the TV camera suddenly switched to Shen Qingyu, who raised his eyelids and looked over.

Everything was just right.

At the same time at Su's house.

On the huge dining table, there were four people sitting sparsely, headed by Su Jingliu, and the table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes.

I originally thought that if I sent Su Zhuo alone to Nanwan to lobby, Su Miao would definitely come back with him, but I didn't expect that even Su Zhuo was left in Nanwan.

Su's mother has experienced great sorrow and joy in the past few days, and her expression is a little depressed.

Seeing this, Su Yun served a bowl of hot soup to Su's mother.

"The person has been found, you should relax."

Mother Su smiled with relief and turned to look at Su Jingliu, "Dad, what did Ah Zhuo say?"

Su Jingliu, "That girl is with her friends now. She said she'll be back in a few days. You should listen to Ayun more and relax. Don't wait for Miaomiao to come back before you fall ill again."

"Dad is right. Nothing will happen with Azhuo here. You should take care of yourself first." Father Su patted Mother Su's hand gently.

Su's mother nodded and then she perked up and drank the soup.

After dinner, Su Jingliu and Su Xin went to the study to discuss something, while Su Yun accompanied her mother for a walk in the yard.

The wind was strong in the yard, so the two walked for a while and then went to the warm room in the pavilion.

"Mom, have some ginger tea."

Mother Su took the tea and pulled Su Yun to sit down. "Ayun, there are no outsiders here. Tell me honestly, is there anything wrong between you and Miaomiao?"

Su Yun lowered her head and said nothing.

Su's mother immediately understood. No wonder the child refused to go home. Over the years, Su's mother truly loved Su Miao. The two children were like the difference between the palm and the back of her hand to her. As a mother, she didn't want to see anyone get hurt.

Su Yun glanced at her mother carefully. "She probably doesn't want to come back because of me. If you find it difficult, I can..."

Mother Su patted Su Yun's hand and interrupted her gently, "She will be back."

Su Yun was slightly stunned and looked up at Su's mother. "What did you say?"

Mother Su smiled and touched her face. "I know Miaomiao. Her family is here. She will definitely come back. Don't blame yourself. You are all children. Let the adults handle the rest."

Su Yun lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

The woman in front of him was completely different from Lidya Su.

"There's something..." Mother Su thought for a moment, then said carefully, "It's about your adoptive mother. You were kidnapped by a gangster, which led to our separation. Your adoptive mother was inextricably linked to what happened back then. Even if she died, the hatred she felt towards you would never be alleviated. But... she is Miaomiao's biological mother after all. Even if the Su family wants to do anything, they have to ask Miaomiao's opinion."

Su Yun immediately understood what Su's mother meant, with some disappointment in her eyes, "If Su Miao pleads for her mother, will Grandpa and the Su family let Su Li go?"

Then what about the abyss she once experienced?

Mother Su shook her head. "That's not what Mom meant. Now Miaomiao knows her own life story. If I don't respect her wishes and deal with her biological mother privately, I'm afraid she will hate me."

"What about me?" Su Yun looked at Su's mother quietly.

Su's mother gently took her into her arms. "Ayun, you and Miaomiao are both the apple of my eye. I don't want to see either of you get hurt. I hate the pain of separation more than anyone else. When I learned that woman didn't treat you well, I wanted to cut her heart out. So I'm asking you, please give me some time, and give us all some time. I promise you, Su Li will be punished and will pay the price for the crime she committed, provided that Miaomiao is not implicated. She is innocent."

"..."

In the evening, Su Yun sat at the head of the bed, staring out the window in a daze.

Su's mother's words kept flashing through her mind and she couldn't sleep.

At this moment, the phone screen suddenly vibrated.

Su Yun turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes filled with undercurrents.

[Zhao Tang: I will drag you down to hell with me. Don't even think about getting out of this.]
