Sword Raiders II
Chapter 237
"Although Akiya Ono is an anorexic patient, he is quite good at business management. This time, several chefs can meet at the reception at Youkang's mansion. It is probably because of his help." Chang Yi calmly analyzed, "If I were Ono, the most convenient and effective method would be to bind the Fujiwara family in order to successfully develop an inseparable relationship with the cooking master."
"Kunihiro, contact Kenmaru immediately!" Izumi Mamoru didn't want to listen anymore, so he turned his head and greeted his partner, "Ask him if the Fujiwara and his wife are also here at the venue!"
…………
In the hall of the mansion, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the dance music is melodious.
Many guests have already slipped onto the dance floor, enjoying the Chinese atmosphere of the Meiji and even the Taisho period.
At this time, the other three cooking masters had already finished chatting, and now they are also relaxing and chatting with others. Behind each of these cooking masters represents a powerful group company, so everyone is more or less surrounded by surrounded by people.
Yuli is no exception.
But she has an advantage now—the manager is by her side, there are many disciples, there are many fans, and the elders are also there... There are too many people around her, and those who want to get close are taken away before they have too much conversation with her .
Occasionally, Hanhan will come to provoke: "Master Xinggong, I am the chef of XXX restaurant from overseas, and I have won many honors...etc. I have nothing to say about the other domestic cooking masters. I have too many doubts about you who are in my age group. Could you please enlighten me..."
"Hey, here, here!" The provocation of the young and vigorous overseas chef has not yet ended, and Nakiri Chaoyang, who has his hands in his trouser pockets over there, has already waved his hand to stop him, "You want to ask my master for advice? Why don't you start with my big brother?" Disciple talk? As long as you win against me as chief, everything is easy to talk about."
Without waiting for the opponent to resist, he smiled and dragged him away.Before leaving, he blinked his eyes to the back in a way of asking for credit.
Similar situations include but are not limited to those who are provocative, those who ask for advice, those who want to join the Xinggong Pavilion and bow down...all of them are blocked one by one by relatives and friends who are good at these aspects.
Yu Li, who watched all of this: I am very grateful to my lord for having such a wide network of contacts!So protective!
"Really, those people really don't have any self-knowledge." Finally, no one came to bother, and Nakiri Erina, who had been by Yuli's side, sighed, "Master Xinggong was rejected by all the cooking masters in the country, including Grandpa. There is a future God of Cooking publicly recognized by the mother of the special executive officer of IGO, these guys can't even compare with me, why do they think they have the right to provoke you!"
Yu Li, who has lost his memory and is not at the level of a chef: at this time, he feels very guilty.
"Cough, speaking of it... I don't think I've seen Si Yingshi until now." In order to cover up his guilty conscience, someone forcibly changed the subject, "Did he not come today?"
"No." Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo shook his head, and his delicate face was full of meaning at this time, "I heard that he was going to be there, but there was some unexpected situation in the restaurant, so we had to stay in the restaurant. It's done in the hotel."
Illusion?The first reaction in Yu Li's mind was that the Chef Si was framed by someone, and even flashed the sly smile of the cheap student.
At this moment, she heard her stepfather's voice next to her: "Rumiko, you don't look well, is it okay?"
Mom is not feeling well?Yu Li quickly leaned over to care.
"I'm fine." With her husband and daughter nervously paying attention at the same time, Rumiko quickly restrained her gloomy expression, and shook her head to explain, "It's just that it's really not easy for Yuli to come to this day, and it's been hard work."
After experiencing the horror of being kidnapped to an isolated island by gangsters, Rumiko clearly realized that her daughter's position and her future life were not destined to be smooth sailing, but she still felt uncomfortable witnessing it.
Seeing this, the husband next to him put his arms around his wife's shoulders: "Don't worry, she can handle it well. Yu Li is now full-fledged, and she won't be able to trouble her at the level like before, and will only be cleaned up by her apprentice just like before." Pause. Your daughter is much more capable than my son." In order to comfort his wife, he even said that he would bury his son with a smile.
"Shingo will be angry if you say that." Rumiko was amused by him, and when she glanced at her familiar yet unfamiliar daughter, her heart sank again.All she can do now is to squeeze her lips tightly and swallow some words over and over again.
Just when Yu Li saw his mother's face turned bad again and wanted to ask more questions, a waiter came over.
"Master Xinggong, as well as President Fujiwara and his wife, my master has invited me. He and Mr. Ono have something to discuss with the three of you."
The owner of the mansion invited them to sit in the private reception room.
The crowd couldn't help but look at each other.
Since it was a private invitation, it was inconvenient for Erina and the juniors to accompany them. In the end, it was Nakiri Chaoyang who said that he was the chief disciple of Master Xinggong and was able to let them go together like the manager.
Keimaru followed them silently by ignoring the BUFF, and the thin green-haired sword frowned slightly, feeling that this trip was nothing good.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in his arms vibrated, and it was a communication from the mansion.
【Kemaru, I am Izumi Mori Kanesada, I have something important to ask you...! 】
…………
Izumimaru's communication time was not long, or he deliberately shortened the call time because he didn't dare to delay, but Izumi Mamoru in the mansion had an ugly expression when he hung up the phone.
Not only him, but the faces of other swords around him were not much better.
"Sure enough, Youkang found out about the amnesia, and used Ono's anorexia to deal with the lord just like two years later." Chang Yi sighed deeply.
"His method is still so despicable. First, he asked Ono to use normal business methods to establish friendship with the Fujiwara family. After completely gaining Mr. Fujiwara's trust and signing the contract, he let him reveal his real purpose. However, this purpose is not at all in the eyes of uninformed people. Not too much." Tsurumaru also shook his head, "It's impossible to guard against."
"It's also the fault of the master herself. She should have stayed at home honestly before, and she had to go to some graduate exchange meeting, otherwise I can't think of where else to leak the news!" Shui Xinzi looked angry, "At that time, if California Qingguang hadn't dealt with it in a timely manner, her amnesia would have been discovered at that time."
"I don't think this is the main problem." Yiqi Yizhen objected, "Actually, it's the disadvantages caused by amnesia. The main hall is afraid of being seen by Mrs. Rumiko and resists going to see Tokyo's family. Absolutely evasive attitude, it's only a matter of time before this unusual behavior attracts the Fujiwara family to take the initiative to find him."
"Well, the Fujiwara family's worry and concern for the master was caught and used by someone with a heart." Mikazuki also sighed, "Indeed, this is an unavoidable evil."
"When you encounter emotional problems related to yourself, you will habitually avoid it. I don't know when you can get rid of this bad habit." Yamabukiri Nagayoshi took the rebuttal and gave a direct reprimand, and turned his attention to a certain rapping sword , "In a sense, it is really similar to a certain blade."
Kunihiro Yamababa, who was cast in the eye, suddenly froze, as if recalling something, embarrassment welled up in his heart, he raised his hand to try to grab something, only to realize that he hadn't covered his head with a white cloth for a long time.So his evasive expression turned into a gloomy stare: "You are still in the mood to joke, have you thought of a way out?"
"No." Changyi shook his head very bachelorly.
"To be exact, after the anorexic cheated the Fujiwara family into signing the project contract, there was no room for maneuver." Higiri added later.
"People have been caught, and the only thing left is to be led by the nose." San Riyue sighed, "Unfortunately, we found out too late."
…………
"Again, I won't treat President Ono's anorexia, and I won't either." In the luxuriously furnished private reception room, Yu Li looked at the two men in front of him, his face was full of irritability besides unbelievable, "Did the two of you make a mistake? I'm not a doctor."
Are you kidding me? As far as she is at most the level of Yuanyue graduates to "reform" a severe anorexia, are you sure you didn't bring yourself to humiliate yourself and smash the signboard in advance?
Isn't it common sense to go to a doctor instead of a cook when you are sick!
But the other party is not relentless at all.
"But you are one of only a hundred top cooks on the planet, and you are the pinnacle of cooking skills in Dongying Kingdom." The anorexic patient Lahuang's thin face was full of strong hope, "In fact, I have been cooking for almost a whole year. I can’t eat well anymore, and I have seen many doctors at home and abroad, but none of them have any significant effect. I have heard that you even conquered Mrs. God’s Tongue, who is so picky in the Nakiri family, and successfully cured her. Heal her other kind of anorexia. If such a picky tongue can be settled, it can definitely cure me!" At the end, his expression was faintly crazy.
This expression directly scared Yu Li back a step: "That, that is..." Even if he has no memory and can't answer at all, Yu Li also knows that this is not the case.
"I'm sorry, my mother's situation is different from yours, sir." At this moment, Nakiri Chaoyang stepped forward, standing between the two and at the same time unobtrusively protecting Yuli behind him, "My mother just cares about food He is highly picky, unlike you, sir, who may have anorexia for pathological reasons."
"Who cares about the reason! I only know that the tongue of God who was about to starve himself to death was cured by Yuli Xinggong!" The patient who was repeatedly rejected and his patience was gradually exhausted no longer wanted to reason, " I signed a contract with your father, you can't leave me alone! Kasuke Fujiwara, are you sure you want to see death as my partner?" He waved his hands ferociously and seemed a little out of control, which made the scene a little tense.
This time, it was his turn to persuade the eldest daughter to help the stepfather, who frowned: "We are just a normal business transaction. Although the amount involved is huge, President Ono, my company has not obtained any profits beyond the normal range from this contract."
If Akira Ono really gave him a huge profit in this project, Kasuke Fujiwara would not agree to sign the contract at all, and would even maintain a high degree of vigilance against it.As a boss, he knows very well that if he has taken the benefits from the other party, then the other party will definitely make up for this part of the extra price, and may even double the demand.
As for the existence on his side who can pay so much for him, there is no doubt that only his eldest daughter, Gong Yuli.
This is the only point, he is very clear that he must not cross the line.He is very satisfied with his current life, especially after experiencing a broken family once, he never wants to suffer a second time.
"Husband..." Sensing her husband's hidden determination, Rumiko looked up with tears in her eyes.
Yu Li also looked over in surprise. She thought that her stepfather, who didn't know about her amnesia, would come to persuade her to treat her partner for the sake of the company, but unexpectedly, she refused.And from the sound of it, he didn't deliberately intend to use her to gain more benefits from the beginning.
If it weren't for the fact that her father's position in her heart was unshakable and she didn't want to share the position with others, it would not be a loss for her to recognize this stepdad sincerely!
Giving his wife a comforting smile, Kasuke Fujiwara turned to look at the eldest daughter, expressing his decision with his eyes.
Although he didn't understand why the child refused to agree, but he had already realized that it was unusual, and he would not let go.
Until now, he also faintly felt that this Akira Ono was different from the person who was willing to give priority to him for cooperation simply because of the eldest daughter in the past—or, in other words, Ono seemed to be normal, and his appeal was reasonable, but this person It is a pretense set up in front of people to confuse people's eyes, but the one who is really playing tricks behind the scenes should be...
"Oh, don't make the atmosphere so stiff." The owner of the mansion, who hadn't said much just now, stood up with a smile, reached out and patted Ono's shoulder, "My friend has been tortured by anorexia all these years. Light, I was quite rude before, so I would like to apologize to everyone on his behalf, and please forgive me."
Without waiting for anyone from Yu Li to respond, he turned his head to look at his friend again: "Xiao Ye, you were too impatient just now, it's not okay to ask others with this attitude. How about this, you go out and drink some tea to rest and calm down, I Let me tell you. Master Xinggong has always been the most reasonable, but she will let go of my words."
"Ah, yes... I was too impatient." After being persuaded by his friend, Ono regained a lot of the rationality that had been lost due to the strong rejection, and his sallow face showed apology, "I am very sorry, Master Xinggong , I was reckless before. However, the days when you can’t eat and smell the smell are really painful. As one of the top cooks, you should understand the sorrow of diners who can’t eat better than me. So I beg you , help me! Please let my tongue come back to life, Master Chef!" At the end, he bowed earnestly.
When the anorexic president walked out of the reception room, with the light sound of the door lock being re-fastened, the room returned to silence.
In this kind of atmosphere, even as simple as Yu Li felt that something was wrong, and I don’t know if it was an illusion. The kind owner of the mansion who was chatting with her in the hall before about all kinds of centuries-old things in the mansion, now has a smell on him that makes her very uncomfortable. temperament.
Until the manager took a step forward at this moment, and suddenly said: "Mr. Youkang, when did you find out that Xinggong lost his memory, and now he is not as good as a chef?"
This sentence came straight to the point, like a thunderstorm that shocked the scene into an extremely quiet place. Although everyone had different expressions and showed that they were really surprised because of Yuli's amnesia, only Kasuke Fujiwara, his stepfather, was the only one who was surprised, but it didn't affect it. The manager continued talking.
"Master Franche came to Dongying to seek opportunities to expand his company in Asia. This is a coincidence that you cannot control. But you can control President Ono, who has a deep friendship with you, to use his various connections and resources to build your ancestral home The mansion is displayed in front of him, and with him in your mansion, it is very easy to attract other culinary masters to appear, and it is even easier to deliberately invite more chefs or businessmen who have cooperated with Xinggong Pavilion."
"You used this method to directly gather all relevant personnel here, and deliberately led people to force people out of the low-key star palace to reappear in front of people, just for today, right?"
"President Ono's request is actually not harsh in this situation, and it can only be regarded as reasonable and reasonable. If Xinggong ignores it, once people find out, it will appear that she is unreasonable, morally inferior, and worthy of her long-standing reputation. What's more serious is that people will question her ability, because she doesn't accept this request, you will definitely let Ono go to the other three master chefs who are here today with great fanfare, and you will take the trouble to covertly preach over and over again." Master Xinggong is incompetent, everyone says that she is the pinnacle of domestic culinary masters, the future god of cooking, the fact is that she is not as good as the others", and if she is forced to show flaws in her culinary skills, her reputation will not be completely ruined , is bound to plummet. "
And this is a fatal blow to the Xinggong Pavilion, which is currently developing at a high speed.
If it really develops like this, it will not only be Xinggong Yuli who will be seriously affected, but also countless people living in the Xinggong Pavilion.
As the manager finished these analyzes and conclusions word by word, the complexions of many people at the scene changed, but compared to Yu Li's worry and anger, the owner of the mansion whose intentions were exposed lowered his head and showed a gloomy man who had removed his disguise. smile.
…………
"So why are you still sitting here at such a critical moment!" Izumi Mori Kanesada roared in the hall of Hoshigiya Mansion, "Get up and think of a solution!"
"That's right!" Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu was the second to yell, "What's the matter with your non-urgent attitude? Is it urgent to endanger the master's life? If this continues, her star The palace is about to be stolen by villains!"
"That's it, Shui Xinzi!" Tsurumaru clapped his palms and immediately interrupted the anger of the military uniform, his golden eyes flashed brightly, "The spirit of Gao Tianyuan caused the lord to lose his memory, and also caused this scene that should not have existed. crisis. If the Star Palace Pavilion changes hands in this era, it will be considered as changing history, right?"
"It's not just about changing history, even the future 200 years later... ah!" The words that came out of his mouth got stuck in his throat after he regained consciousness, and Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu felt sorry for him all of a sudden.
Also reacting are other swords such as Izumi Shou who are only anxious.
"Yes, if there is a major change in history, time and space will be distorted. At that time..."
It's time for the sword man to come on stage.
"I'm ready and I can go anytime." Xiao Ye Zuoziwen, who had been standing quietly in the corner, made a cold voice, and the body in his hand reflected the sharp blade light. "No one is allowed to destroy the master's life."
"Well said, Xiao Ye!" Izumi Mori also clenched the knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, "It took so much hard work to get to this point...how can we make her even more difficult because of us!"
If they were not persistent and appeared in front of her, she would not have to go through all the twists and turns caused by this, so it was even more unacceptable.
"Kenmaru sent all the ins and outs of the scene, and Tomoyasu's action has been fully figured out." Kunihiro Horikawa forwarded the latest information to other people on the scene, then put away his things and looked around, "Let's go, let's go back to Honmaru. "
The first master who cultivated them into spirits had a major historical deviation. The government of the time will never let it go, and will definitely let Foxunosuke open the time and space channel as soon as possible, and they will set things right before the incident occurs.
Zhongren nodded and got up one after another.
"Huh? Why is it so slow, Mikazuki, and Higakiri and Nagayoshi too?" During this period, Youren noticed that something was wrong, "Is there something else wrong?"
"No, I was just thinking about how to break the situation in this situation other than backtracking." Chang Yi took the lead with a smile.
His words attracted the attention of others: "Didn't it mean that there is no solution, so there are other ways?"
"Hahaha, of course." Sanriyue smiled and nodded.
"It's just that the probability is a bit low, and it would be disturbing to say it." Mustache tilted his head, "It would be great if it really comes true."
So what is the solution?
…………
"Oh, why don't you talk? Could it be that you think my conditions are too harsh?"
In the reception room of the mansion, the owner Youkang looked at the surroundings with a brisk tone. Compared with the smile on his face, all the people around him could be described as ugly.
"It's not just being harsh, you're taking advantage of the fire!" Nakiri Chaoyang's face was covered with frost, and his eyes were almost murderous.
"Oh, it's so scary. As expected of the man who once led a team of overseas late-night cooks, he feels like he will be fed by the sinking sea at any time!" "However, Mr. Nakiri, you should think about your master and your family members before you do it. Although my friend Yasuyuki is not worth mentioning in the upper class, he is just a small person who lives on the shade of his ancestors, but... also It’s not someone who died quietly and no one cares about it.”
"Don't be impulsive." The manager pressed Chaoyang's shoulders and shook his head gently at him, "Although he really doesn't have any real property, but he has made a lot of connections with this Chinese mansion passed down by his ancestors, just like Ono There are also a few friends who are close friends, if he dares to do this today, he must have taken precautions."
"Damn it!" Chaoyang's face was full of unwillingness.
"Don't look so cruel, brother." The other party was even more triumphant, "Anyway, I will also be a member of the Star Palace in the future, so I should get along well."
"I refuse!" An excited female voice sounded immediately. It wasn't Yu Li who shouted, but Rumiko who was next to her, "This is the brainchild of my daughter, and I don't allow anyone to touch it!"
Mother?
Yu Li looked over in surprise, and saw her always gentle and weak mother gritted her teeth. She stretched out her hand to protect her daughter, but at some point in her hand, she pointed at the owner of the mansion opposite with a snack fork for entertaining guests. His body was trembling, but his momentum was firm.
"If you persecute my daughter again, I will die with you!"
"Mom!"/"Rumiko!" Yu Li and stepfather called out at the same time, reaching out their hands to stop her movements.
No matter how hard the woman struggled, she was no match for her husband and daughter with extremely high force value. She was easily robbed of her sharp weapon, covered her face and knelt down and cried bitterly: "It's all me! It's all because I insisted on coming to see you that made things change." It's like this! I obviously always wanted to protect you and give you a stable home, why did it turn out like this again and again?"
It was like this last time when I was tied to an isolated island, and it's the same this time!
The mother's sad and self-reproachful crying made Yu Li stunned, and some pictures popped up in his mind.
"Do you know what I am most satisfied with about Uncle He Jie? That is, after I entered the door, he didn't dislike you because you are my ex-husband's daughter. Now that you have grown up and developed, he didn't try to coerce you." Tell me to tell you what to do for him."
"You are considerate of my mother. I feel that my mother has worked so hard to agree to enter the Fujiwara house with my mother. In order to avoid suspicion, I moved out directly after earning money to show that I will not get involved in the family property. My mother has always seen it. But my mother congratulates you Uncle Jie also made a special agreement with him before getting married, if he dislikes you, it is better to separate, with mother's ability, it is not difficult to find a stepfather who is willing to treat you well."
"In my mother's heart, you are always the most important."
"Mom..." Yu Li subconsciously stretched out her hand to soothe her mother's tears, but the owner of the mansion laughed from the opposite side.
"It's really touching, Mrs. Fujiwara." The other party's voice was sinister, and he held his tone high, "But have you forgotten your husband? President Fujiwara just Having signed a contract with Ono, even if you don’t understand the operation of the company, you should be aware of the huge gap between the two companies, so you don’t have to guess who will take the lead in this cooperation project, right?”
It is too easy for a big company to find a small company to cooperate with and deliberately make things difficult for the other party if they want to take some action on the project, and it is not impossible to drag it down alive.
So Kasuke Fujiwara, who had just helped his wife up, froze all over, and then felt his wife trembling in his arms. He silently pressed her head into his arms and didn't dare to look at his wife's expression, but when he looked up, he saw the long The woman looked at the pale expression with her hands curled up on her chest in a daze and her lips trembling.
It was not the eyes of an adult daughter who has experienced the world, but more like a young bird who has suffered a serious setback before growing up. For a moment, he remembered that his son Shingo had such an expression.
"It's okay." While hugging his wife, he showed a consoling smile to his eldest daughter, "The big deal is bankruptcy, your mother and brother are always complaining that I don't have time to accompany them, and now I just retire early."
A dull pain suddenly came to my heart, Yu Li subconsciously covered his chest, the feeling of powerlessness that he experienced for the first time was very familiar at this time, as if he had tasted it many times before, and the picture flashed before his eyes.
"Yu Li, why did you suddenly think of learning to draw?"
"No, can't you?...I'm sorry mom, I shouldn't be willful to mention such a sudden..."
"Okay, Yuri. Rather, I'm glad you made this request."
"Uncle Kasuke?"
"Ever since you and Shingo came back from that killing game, you still like to stay at home so much. I've been really worried. Now I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"uncle……"
"Go learn, and tell me everything you need. Although you only run such a company at home, you still have the ability to find a good teacher for you. If you want to thank me, just study hard and show me the results. I am very much looking forward to the birth of the future artist Yuri Hoshimiya."
"Yes! I will!"
"You don't have to work so hard. It doesn't matter if you don't learn well. You just need to be healthy and smile more. As I said before, although I can't be your father, your mother, Shingo, and I are all It's your family, right?"
At the end of the picture is the broad palm pressing on her head, strong and gentle, full of tolerance.
"Are you sure it's just bankruptcy, Mr. Fujiwara?" A cold reminder broke the illusion of memory, "Why don't you recall the contents of the contract carefully, if you are not careful, you will trigger a breach of contract. I remember the number of compensation for breach of contract...even if It’s because the current Xinggong Pavilion can’t be borrowed for a while.”
"You...!" Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't restrain his hardened fists and was about to rush over, but was immediately held back by the quick-sighted manager.
"Don't be impulsive." He lowered his voice and coaxed Yu Li and her first disciple, "This guy has already broken the bottom line for his own interests. If he is not allowed to succeed, he may cause even greater losses. Please promise him first."
"Ruishan...!"
As soon as Chaoyang turned his head and stared at the other party, the latter yelled back: "Do you know what will happen to the Fujiwara family if something happens? Not only will it go bankrupt, but it may even go to jail. He can do it!"
This low growl directly stopped all the struggles and shakes.
"Yes, that's how it is. As expected of the well-known manager of Ruishan in the industry, he quickly guessed all my backhands." Knowing that he was about to succeed, the owner of the mansion no longer concealed his complacency, and just laughed Get up, turn your head to look at Yu Li who has been bowing his head and not speaking, "So, master Xinggong over there... oh, or student Xinggong, can you sign a contract with me, uncle? Otherwise, your loving stepfather is very You will go to jail soon, your dear mother will lose her husband again, and the poor Xinwu brother will also be the same, and he will live on as the son of a criminal in the future."
"Bullshit, human, too, even..." Chaoyang couldn't hold back his temper anymore, he threw off the manager's restraint, and stretched out his hand to take out something dangerous from his body, "I want your tongue and fingers... Well!"
Before he could finish speaking, a hand covered his mouth.
"Stand back, you don't need to force yourself here." The calm to cold female voice made people unconsciously reduce their anger and trembled slightly.
Realizing something, Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't help turning his head to look over, and after seeing the calm and majestic look on that person's face that was exactly the same as in his memory, all his emotions were calmed down.
"Yes, Master." He took a step back, and his sudden and well-behaved appearance attracted the Fujiwara couple to look over in surprise. The young man didn't care, and just said with a smile, "Welcome back."
This sentence can be regarded as a reminder of the change in Yu Li for everyone.
"Yu, Yuli." Rumiko, who was still leaning in her husband's arms, reached out and wanted to grab her daughter, "You, remember?"
Then her hand was held by her daughter first, and the other party smiled at her: "Yes, Mom." Yu Li raised his head and looked at his stepfather again, "I'm sorry Uncle, I have caused you trouble."
Regardless of his tone and demeanor, he was no longer naive and ignorant just now. He was weighing calmly as an adult should. Seeing this, the stepfather was relieved and just shook his head: "It's good that you're fine."
Yu Li smiled at him, then let go of her mother's hand, turned and walked towards the owner of the mansion.
At this time, the smile on her face has become shallow, and the skirt of the evening dress on her body is swaying, but she no longer has the innocent spirit when she entered the stage before, but is full of a strong sense of oppression, and every step forward is like a turbulent wave .
"This aura... No, it's impossible!" The owner of the mansion couldn't accept this fact, and backed away again and again, "How could you recover your memory so quickly!"
"Thanks to Mr. Youkang." He took a step back, and Yu Li took a step forward, until he had no way to retreat, then stood three steps away from him, his eyes were condescending, "I repeatedly stimulated me with my family, Memories may not be so easy to recover."
This time it was Tomoyasu Yuichi's turn to turn pale.
But the cooking master opposite him obviously won't let him go so easily: "Mr. Youyasu has been asking me to treat his anorexia in the name of President Ono before. As my uncle's partner, it's really not good to invite me like this." It’s time to decline. I’ll accept it, and let’s settle it tonight.”
"Varied……!"
"Knee pill." Ignoring the astonishment of the owner of the mansion, Yu Li summoned his servants without looking back, "Go and inform President Ono and Mr. Dojima. I will treat everyone to dinner tonight." While speaking, his right hand Xin didn't know when he had already grasped a kitchen knife, and the words "Autumn Water" on it flashed under the light.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Kagemaru was blushing with excitement, agreeing more excitedly than anyone else.
It was too late for Youkang to stop him. In fact, he didn't even think that the bodyguard was in the room, let alone that the other party had such skills, so he could only smile flatteringly at the person in front of him with a pale face: "Xing Gong Master, in fact... there is no need to mobilize people like this. All of this is a misunderstanding."
"How come?" Yu Li smiled at him, and the kitchen knife in his hand directly twisted a beautiful knife flower, "You gave me such a big gift today, as a future chef who is so respected by you, I don't want to return the gift and prove it in public It's not my way of life."
There was a cold light on the blade, as if the other party was the food for supper.
It was late at night, but the Youkang mansion did not stop, and it was even lively.
Si Yingshi, who had finally dealt with the troubles in the hotel, rushed all the way, and finally arrived at the reception. He was relieved to see the crowd inside.
In this case, the probability that Mr. Xinggong is still there is not small. After all, there are still three master chefs... No, she doesn't have complete memory now, and it is not a good thing to be in it rashly.
I hope Nakiri Chaoyang is useful, at least to help her avoid some troubles.
The young man thought so, and just as he was about to step up to the front door, he heard a group of noisy voices getting closer and closer to the door, and he could faintly hear the title of "Master of the Star Palace".
She is still there...
"Master Xinggong, you are really amazing! He cured a severe anorexic patient with only one serving of dim sum. You are indeed the pinnacle of domestic cooks!"
"President Ono has completely surrendered to your cooking, and he is crying and begging for a place in Star Palace Castle."
"The Wright Group behind Master French is interested in cooperating with your Xinggong Pavilion. Are you sure you don't change your mind and give this opportunity to Yuan Yue and Guan Tian?"
"Master Xinggong, this cuisine that can cure anorexia must be another new work of your retreat for such a long time. I don't know how wonderful the taste of another kokguan cuisine tea soup is. Your talent really makes all geniuses tremble. ah."
Gradually stepping out of the figure from the brilliant light source, the first figure that appeared fell into Si Yingshi's eyes head-on, causing him to stop breathing.
It was a beautiful figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, with long hair hanging like clouds and mist, and the brightly framed facial features became soft and charming, and the legs wrapped in long skirts swayed with layered skirts as they walked. The appearance should be weak and charming, but the high-ranking temperament from the superior and the deliberate dignified alienation can't help but make people look up and awe.
Like a flower born on the peak of the mountain, it is beautiful and soft but unattainable, but it can't stop attracting people's hearts.
A gust of night wind blew by, shaking her skirt and the long hair on the side of her forehead. The girl frowned slightly because she was not used to it. She raised her fingers and stretched them from her bangs into her hair to comb her back. She had a smooth forehead. Si Yingshi's eyes could clearly see the expression of He and casual socializing.
At this time, her gaze also met him who was directly opposite.
The girl's somewhat cold emerald eyes showed a gentle smile, and she nodded to him: "Yingshi, are you here for the reception? Just in time, Senior Dojima and the others haven't left yet."
I'm here to see you.
Si Yingshi couldn't say that, at this time
"Kunihiro, contact Kenmaru immediately!" Izumi Mamoru didn't want to listen anymore, so he turned his head and greeted his partner, "Ask him if the Fujiwara and his wife are also here at the venue!"
…………
In the hall of the mansion, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the dance music is melodious.
Many guests have already slipped onto the dance floor, enjoying the Chinese atmosphere of the Meiji and even the Taisho period.
At this time, the other three cooking masters had already finished chatting, and now they are also relaxing and chatting with others. Behind each of these cooking masters represents a powerful group company, so everyone is more or less surrounded by surrounded by people.
Yuli is no exception.
But she has an advantage now—the manager is by her side, there are many disciples, there are many fans, and the elders are also there... There are too many people around her, and those who want to get close are taken away before they have too much conversation with her .
Occasionally, Hanhan will come to provoke: "Master Xinggong, I am the chef of XXX restaurant from overseas, and I have won many honors...etc. I have nothing to say about the other domestic cooking masters. I have too many doubts about you who are in my age group. Could you please enlighten me..."
"Hey, here, here!" The provocation of the young and vigorous overseas chef has not yet ended, and Nakiri Chaoyang, who has his hands in his trouser pockets over there, has already waved his hand to stop him, "You want to ask my master for advice? Why don't you start with my big brother?" Disciple talk? As long as you win against me as chief, everything is easy to talk about."
Without waiting for the opponent to resist, he smiled and dragged him away.Before leaving, he blinked his eyes to the back in a way of asking for credit.
Similar situations include but are not limited to those who are provocative, those who ask for advice, those who want to join the Xinggong Pavilion and bow down...all of them are blocked one by one by relatives and friends who are good at these aspects.
Yu Li, who watched all of this: I am very grateful to my lord for having such a wide network of contacts!So protective!
"Really, those people really don't have any self-knowledge." Finally, no one came to bother, and Nakiri Erina, who had been by Yuli's side, sighed, "Master Xinggong was rejected by all the cooking masters in the country, including Grandpa. There is a future God of Cooking publicly recognized by the mother of the special executive officer of IGO, these guys can't even compare with me, why do they think they have the right to provoke you!"
Yu Li, who has lost his memory and is not at the level of a chef: at this time, he feels very guilty.
"Cough, speaking of it... I don't think I've seen Si Yingshi until now." In order to cover up his guilty conscience, someone forcibly changed the subject, "Did he not come today?"
"No." Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo shook his head, and his delicate face was full of meaning at this time, "I heard that he was going to be there, but there was some unexpected situation in the restaurant, so we had to stay in the restaurant. It's done in the hotel."
Illusion?The first reaction in Yu Li's mind was that the Chef Si was framed by someone, and even flashed the sly smile of the cheap student.
At this moment, she heard her stepfather's voice next to her: "Rumiko, you don't look well, is it okay?"
Mom is not feeling well?Yu Li quickly leaned over to care.
"I'm fine." With her husband and daughter nervously paying attention at the same time, Rumiko quickly restrained her gloomy expression, and shook her head to explain, "It's just that it's really not easy for Yuli to come to this day, and it's been hard work."
After experiencing the horror of being kidnapped to an isolated island by gangsters, Rumiko clearly realized that her daughter's position and her future life were not destined to be smooth sailing, but she still felt uncomfortable witnessing it.
Seeing this, the husband next to him put his arms around his wife's shoulders: "Don't worry, she can handle it well. Yu Li is now full-fledged, and she won't be able to trouble her at the level like before, and will only be cleaned up by her apprentice just like before." Pause. Your daughter is much more capable than my son." In order to comfort his wife, he even said that he would bury his son with a smile.
"Shingo will be angry if you say that." Rumiko was amused by him, and when she glanced at her familiar yet unfamiliar daughter, her heart sank again.All she can do now is to squeeze her lips tightly and swallow some words over and over again.
Just when Yu Li saw his mother's face turned bad again and wanted to ask more questions, a waiter came over.
"Master Xinggong, as well as President Fujiwara and his wife, my master has invited me. He and Mr. Ono have something to discuss with the three of you."
The owner of the mansion invited them to sit in the private reception room.
The crowd couldn't help but look at each other.
Since it was a private invitation, it was inconvenient for Erina and the juniors to accompany them. In the end, it was Nakiri Chaoyang who said that he was the chief disciple of Master Xinggong and was able to let them go together like the manager.
Keimaru followed them silently by ignoring the BUFF, and the thin green-haired sword frowned slightly, feeling that this trip was nothing good.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in his arms vibrated, and it was a communication from the mansion.
【Kemaru, I am Izumi Mori Kanesada, I have something important to ask you...! 】
…………
Izumimaru's communication time was not long, or he deliberately shortened the call time because he didn't dare to delay, but Izumi Mamoru in the mansion had an ugly expression when he hung up the phone.
Not only him, but the faces of other swords around him were not much better.
"Sure enough, Youkang found out about the amnesia, and used Ono's anorexia to deal with the lord just like two years later." Chang Yi sighed deeply.
"His method is still so despicable. First, he asked Ono to use normal business methods to establish friendship with the Fujiwara family. After completely gaining Mr. Fujiwara's trust and signing the contract, he let him reveal his real purpose. However, this purpose is not at all in the eyes of uninformed people. Not too much." Tsurumaru also shook his head, "It's impossible to guard against."
"It's also the fault of the master herself. She should have stayed at home honestly before, and she had to go to some graduate exchange meeting, otherwise I can't think of where else to leak the news!" Shui Xinzi looked angry, "At that time, if California Qingguang hadn't dealt with it in a timely manner, her amnesia would have been discovered at that time."
"I don't think this is the main problem." Yiqi Yizhen objected, "Actually, it's the disadvantages caused by amnesia. The main hall is afraid of being seen by Mrs. Rumiko and resists going to see Tokyo's family. Absolutely evasive attitude, it's only a matter of time before this unusual behavior attracts the Fujiwara family to take the initiative to find him."
"Well, the Fujiwara family's worry and concern for the master was caught and used by someone with a heart." Mikazuki also sighed, "Indeed, this is an unavoidable evil."
"When you encounter emotional problems related to yourself, you will habitually avoid it. I don't know when you can get rid of this bad habit." Yamabukiri Nagayoshi took the rebuttal and gave a direct reprimand, and turned his attention to a certain rapping sword , "In a sense, it is really similar to a certain blade."
Kunihiro Yamababa, who was cast in the eye, suddenly froze, as if recalling something, embarrassment welled up in his heart, he raised his hand to try to grab something, only to realize that he hadn't covered his head with a white cloth for a long time.So his evasive expression turned into a gloomy stare: "You are still in the mood to joke, have you thought of a way out?"
"No." Changyi shook his head very bachelorly.
"To be exact, after the anorexic cheated the Fujiwara family into signing the project contract, there was no room for maneuver." Higiri added later.
"People have been caught, and the only thing left is to be led by the nose." San Riyue sighed, "Unfortunately, we found out too late."
…………
"Again, I won't treat President Ono's anorexia, and I won't either." In the luxuriously furnished private reception room, Yu Li looked at the two men in front of him, his face was full of irritability besides unbelievable, "Did the two of you make a mistake? I'm not a doctor."
Are you kidding me? As far as she is at most the level of Yuanyue graduates to "reform" a severe anorexia, are you sure you didn't bring yourself to humiliate yourself and smash the signboard in advance?
Isn't it common sense to go to a doctor instead of a cook when you are sick!
But the other party is not relentless at all.
"But you are one of only a hundred top cooks on the planet, and you are the pinnacle of cooking skills in Dongying Kingdom." The anorexic patient Lahuang's thin face was full of strong hope, "In fact, I have been cooking for almost a whole year. I can’t eat well anymore, and I have seen many doctors at home and abroad, but none of them have any significant effect. I have heard that you even conquered Mrs. God’s Tongue, who is so picky in the Nakiri family, and successfully cured her. Heal her other kind of anorexia. If such a picky tongue can be settled, it can definitely cure me!" At the end, his expression was faintly crazy.
This expression directly scared Yu Li back a step: "That, that is..." Even if he has no memory and can't answer at all, Yu Li also knows that this is not the case.
"I'm sorry, my mother's situation is different from yours, sir." At this moment, Nakiri Chaoyang stepped forward, standing between the two and at the same time unobtrusively protecting Yuli behind him, "My mother just cares about food He is highly picky, unlike you, sir, who may have anorexia for pathological reasons."
"Who cares about the reason! I only know that the tongue of God who was about to starve himself to death was cured by Yuli Xinggong!" The patient who was repeatedly rejected and his patience was gradually exhausted no longer wanted to reason, " I signed a contract with your father, you can't leave me alone! Kasuke Fujiwara, are you sure you want to see death as my partner?" He waved his hands ferociously and seemed a little out of control, which made the scene a little tense.
This time, it was his turn to persuade the eldest daughter to help the stepfather, who frowned: "We are just a normal business transaction. Although the amount involved is huge, President Ono, my company has not obtained any profits beyond the normal range from this contract."
If Akira Ono really gave him a huge profit in this project, Kasuke Fujiwara would not agree to sign the contract at all, and would even maintain a high degree of vigilance against it.As a boss, he knows very well that if he has taken the benefits from the other party, then the other party will definitely make up for this part of the extra price, and may even double the demand.
As for the existence on his side who can pay so much for him, there is no doubt that only his eldest daughter, Gong Yuli.
This is the only point, he is very clear that he must not cross the line.He is very satisfied with his current life, especially after experiencing a broken family once, he never wants to suffer a second time.
"Husband..." Sensing her husband's hidden determination, Rumiko looked up with tears in her eyes.
Yu Li also looked over in surprise. She thought that her stepfather, who didn't know about her amnesia, would come to persuade her to treat her partner for the sake of the company, but unexpectedly, she refused.And from the sound of it, he didn't deliberately intend to use her to gain more benefits from the beginning.
If it weren't for the fact that her father's position in her heart was unshakable and she didn't want to share the position with others, it would not be a loss for her to recognize this stepdad sincerely!
Giving his wife a comforting smile, Kasuke Fujiwara turned to look at the eldest daughter, expressing his decision with his eyes.
Although he didn't understand why the child refused to agree, but he had already realized that it was unusual, and he would not let go.
Until now, he also faintly felt that this Akira Ono was different from the person who was willing to give priority to him for cooperation simply because of the eldest daughter in the past—or, in other words, Ono seemed to be normal, and his appeal was reasonable, but this person It is a pretense set up in front of people to confuse people's eyes, but the one who is really playing tricks behind the scenes should be...
"Oh, don't make the atmosphere so stiff." The owner of the mansion, who hadn't said much just now, stood up with a smile, reached out and patted Ono's shoulder, "My friend has been tortured by anorexia all these years. Light, I was quite rude before, so I would like to apologize to everyone on his behalf, and please forgive me."
Without waiting for anyone from Yu Li to respond, he turned his head to look at his friend again: "Xiao Ye, you were too impatient just now, it's not okay to ask others with this attitude. How about this, you go out and drink some tea to rest and calm down, I Let me tell you. Master Xinggong has always been the most reasonable, but she will let go of my words."
"Ah, yes... I was too impatient." After being persuaded by his friend, Ono regained a lot of the rationality that had been lost due to the strong rejection, and his sallow face showed apology, "I am very sorry, Master Xinggong , I was reckless before. However, the days when you can’t eat and smell the smell are really painful. As one of the top cooks, you should understand the sorrow of diners who can’t eat better than me. So I beg you , help me! Please let my tongue come back to life, Master Chef!" At the end, he bowed earnestly.
When the anorexic president walked out of the reception room, with the light sound of the door lock being re-fastened, the room returned to silence.
In this kind of atmosphere, even as simple as Yu Li felt that something was wrong, and I don’t know if it was an illusion. The kind owner of the mansion who was chatting with her in the hall before about all kinds of centuries-old things in the mansion, now has a smell on him that makes her very uncomfortable. temperament.
Until the manager took a step forward at this moment, and suddenly said: "Mr. Youkang, when did you find out that Xinggong lost his memory, and now he is not as good as a chef?"
This sentence came straight to the point, like a thunderstorm that shocked the scene into an extremely quiet place. Although everyone had different expressions and showed that they were really surprised because of Yuli's amnesia, only Kasuke Fujiwara, his stepfather, was the only one who was surprised, but it didn't affect it. The manager continued talking.
"Master Franche came to Dongying to seek opportunities to expand his company in Asia. This is a coincidence that you cannot control. But you can control President Ono, who has a deep friendship with you, to use his various connections and resources to build your ancestral home The mansion is displayed in front of him, and with him in your mansion, it is very easy to attract other culinary masters to appear, and it is even easier to deliberately invite more chefs or businessmen who have cooperated with Xinggong Pavilion."
"You used this method to directly gather all relevant personnel here, and deliberately led people to force people out of the low-key star palace to reappear in front of people, just for today, right?"
"President Ono's request is actually not harsh in this situation, and it can only be regarded as reasonable and reasonable. If Xinggong ignores it, once people find out, it will appear that she is unreasonable, morally inferior, and worthy of her long-standing reputation. What's more serious is that people will question her ability, because she doesn't accept this request, you will definitely let Ono go to the other three master chefs who are here today with great fanfare, and you will take the trouble to covertly preach over and over again." Master Xinggong is incompetent, everyone says that she is the pinnacle of domestic culinary masters, the future god of cooking, the fact is that she is not as good as the others", and if she is forced to show flaws in her culinary skills, her reputation will not be completely ruined , is bound to plummet. "
And this is a fatal blow to the Xinggong Pavilion, which is currently developing at a high speed.
If it really develops like this, it will not only be Xinggong Yuli who will be seriously affected, but also countless people living in the Xinggong Pavilion.
As the manager finished these analyzes and conclusions word by word, the complexions of many people at the scene changed, but compared to Yu Li's worry and anger, the owner of the mansion whose intentions were exposed lowered his head and showed a gloomy man who had removed his disguise. smile.
…………
"So why are you still sitting here at such a critical moment!" Izumi Mori Kanesada roared in the hall of Hoshigiya Mansion, "Get up and think of a solution!"
"That's right!" Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu was the second to yell, "What's the matter with your non-urgent attitude? Is it urgent to endanger the master's life? If this continues, her star The palace is about to be stolen by villains!"
"That's it, Shui Xinzi!" Tsurumaru clapped his palms and immediately interrupted the anger of the military uniform, his golden eyes flashed brightly, "The spirit of Gao Tianyuan caused the lord to lose his memory, and also caused this scene that should not have existed. crisis. If the Star Palace Pavilion changes hands in this era, it will be considered as changing history, right?"
"It's not just about changing history, even the future 200 years later... ah!" The words that came out of his mouth got stuck in his throat after he regained consciousness, and Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu felt sorry for him all of a sudden.
Also reacting are other swords such as Izumi Shou who are only anxious.
"Yes, if there is a major change in history, time and space will be distorted. At that time..."
It's time for the sword man to come on stage.
"I'm ready and I can go anytime." Xiao Ye Zuoziwen, who had been standing quietly in the corner, made a cold voice, and the body in his hand reflected the sharp blade light. "No one is allowed to destroy the master's life."
"Well said, Xiao Ye!" Izumi Mori also clenched the knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, "It took so much hard work to get to this point...how can we make her even more difficult because of us!"
If they were not persistent and appeared in front of her, she would not have to go through all the twists and turns caused by this, so it was even more unacceptable.
"Kenmaru sent all the ins and outs of the scene, and Tomoyasu's action has been fully figured out." Kunihiro Horikawa forwarded the latest information to other people on the scene, then put away his things and looked around, "Let's go, let's go back to Honmaru. "
The first master who cultivated them into spirits had a major historical deviation. The government of the time will never let it go, and will definitely let Foxunosuke open the time and space channel as soon as possible, and they will set things right before the incident occurs.
Zhongren nodded and got up one after another.
"Huh? Why is it so slow, Mikazuki, and Higakiri and Nagayoshi too?" During this period, Youren noticed that something was wrong, "Is there something else wrong?"
"No, I was just thinking about how to break the situation in this situation other than backtracking." Chang Yi took the lead with a smile.
His words attracted the attention of others: "Didn't it mean that there is no solution, so there are other ways?"
"Hahaha, of course." Sanriyue smiled and nodded.
"It's just that the probability is a bit low, and it would be disturbing to say it." Mustache tilted his head, "It would be great if it really comes true."
So what is the solution?
…………
"Oh, why don't you talk? Could it be that you think my conditions are too harsh?"
In the reception room of the mansion, the owner Youkang looked at the surroundings with a brisk tone. Compared with the smile on his face, all the people around him could be described as ugly.
"It's not just being harsh, you're taking advantage of the fire!" Nakiri Chaoyang's face was covered with frost, and his eyes were almost murderous.
"Oh, it's so scary. As expected of the man who once led a team of overseas late-night cooks, he feels like he will be fed by the sinking sea at any time!" "However, Mr. Nakiri, you should think about your master and your family members before you do it. Although my friend Yasuyuki is not worth mentioning in the upper class, he is just a small person who lives on the shade of his ancestors, but... also It’s not someone who died quietly and no one cares about it.”
"Don't be impulsive." The manager pressed Chaoyang's shoulders and shook his head gently at him, "Although he really doesn't have any real property, but he has made a lot of connections with this Chinese mansion passed down by his ancestors, just like Ono There are also a few friends who are close friends, if he dares to do this today, he must have taken precautions."
"Damn it!" Chaoyang's face was full of unwillingness.
"Don't look so cruel, brother." The other party was even more triumphant, "Anyway, I will also be a member of the Star Palace in the future, so I should get along well."
"I refuse!" An excited female voice sounded immediately. It wasn't Yu Li who shouted, but Rumiko who was next to her, "This is the brainchild of my daughter, and I don't allow anyone to touch it!"
Mother?
Yu Li looked over in surprise, and saw her always gentle and weak mother gritted her teeth. She stretched out her hand to protect her daughter, but at some point in her hand, she pointed at the owner of the mansion opposite with a snack fork for entertaining guests. His body was trembling, but his momentum was firm.
"If you persecute my daughter again, I will die with you!"
"Mom!"/"Rumiko!" Yu Li and stepfather called out at the same time, reaching out their hands to stop her movements.
No matter how hard the woman struggled, she was no match for her husband and daughter with extremely high force value. She was easily robbed of her sharp weapon, covered her face and knelt down and cried bitterly: "It's all me! It's all because I insisted on coming to see you that made things change." It's like this! I obviously always wanted to protect you and give you a stable home, why did it turn out like this again and again?"
It was like this last time when I was tied to an isolated island, and it's the same this time!
The mother's sad and self-reproachful crying made Yu Li stunned, and some pictures popped up in his mind.
"Do you know what I am most satisfied with about Uncle He Jie? That is, after I entered the door, he didn't dislike you because you are my ex-husband's daughter. Now that you have grown up and developed, he didn't try to coerce you." Tell me to tell you what to do for him."
"You are considerate of my mother. I feel that my mother has worked so hard to agree to enter the Fujiwara house with my mother. In order to avoid suspicion, I moved out directly after earning money to show that I will not get involved in the family property. My mother has always seen it. But my mother congratulates you Uncle Jie also made a special agreement with him before getting married, if he dislikes you, it is better to separate, with mother's ability, it is not difficult to find a stepfather who is willing to treat you well."
"In my mother's heart, you are always the most important."
"Mom..." Yu Li subconsciously stretched out her hand to soothe her mother's tears, but the owner of the mansion laughed from the opposite side.
"It's really touching, Mrs. Fujiwara." The other party's voice was sinister, and he held his tone high, "But have you forgotten your husband? President Fujiwara just Having signed a contract with Ono, even if you don’t understand the operation of the company, you should be aware of the huge gap between the two companies, so you don’t have to guess who will take the lead in this cooperation project, right?”
It is too easy for a big company to find a small company to cooperate with and deliberately make things difficult for the other party if they want to take some action on the project, and it is not impossible to drag it down alive.
So Kasuke Fujiwara, who had just helped his wife up, froze all over, and then felt his wife trembling in his arms. He silently pressed her head into his arms and didn't dare to look at his wife's expression, but when he looked up, he saw the long The woman looked at the pale expression with her hands curled up on her chest in a daze and her lips trembling.
It was not the eyes of an adult daughter who has experienced the world, but more like a young bird who has suffered a serious setback before growing up. For a moment, he remembered that his son Shingo had such an expression.
"It's okay." While hugging his wife, he showed a consoling smile to his eldest daughter, "The big deal is bankruptcy, your mother and brother are always complaining that I don't have time to accompany them, and now I just retire early."
A dull pain suddenly came to my heart, Yu Li subconsciously covered his chest, the feeling of powerlessness that he experienced for the first time was very familiar at this time, as if he had tasted it many times before, and the picture flashed before his eyes.
"Yu Li, why did you suddenly think of learning to draw?"
"No, can't you?...I'm sorry mom, I shouldn't be willful to mention such a sudden..."
"Okay, Yuri. Rather, I'm glad you made this request."
"Uncle Kasuke?"
"Ever since you and Shingo came back from that killing game, you still like to stay at home so much. I've been really worried. Now I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"uncle……"
"Go learn, and tell me everything you need. Although you only run such a company at home, you still have the ability to find a good teacher for you. If you want to thank me, just study hard and show me the results. I am very much looking forward to the birth of the future artist Yuri Hoshimiya."
"Yes! I will!"
"You don't have to work so hard. It doesn't matter if you don't learn well. You just need to be healthy and smile more. As I said before, although I can't be your father, your mother, Shingo, and I are all It's your family, right?"
At the end of the picture is the broad palm pressing on her head, strong and gentle, full of tolerance.
"Are you sure it's just bankruptcy, Mr. Fujiwara?" A cold reminder broke the illusion of memory, "Why don't you recall the contents of the contract carefully, if you are not careful, you will trigger a breach of contract. I remember the number of compensation for breach of contract...even if It’s because the current Xinggong Pavilion can’t be borrowed for a while.”
"You...!" Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't restrain his hardened fists and was about to rush over, but was immediately held back by the quick-sighted manager.
"Don't be impulsive." He lowered his voice and coaxed Yu Li and her first disciple, "This guy has already broken the bottom line for his own interests. If he is not allowed to succeed, he may cause even greater losses. Please promise him first."
"Ruishan...!"
As soon as Chaoyang turned his head and stared at the other party, the latter yelled back: "Do you know what will happen to the Fujiwara family if something happens? Not only will it go bankrupt, but it may even go to jail. He can do it!"
This low growl directly stopped all the struggles and shakes.
"Yes, that's how it is. As expected of the well-known manager of Ruishan in the industry, he quickly guessed all my backhands." Knowing that he was about to succeed, the owner of the mansion no longer concealed his complacency, and just laughed Get up, turn your head to look at Yu Li who has been bowing his head and not speaking, "So, master Xinggong over there... oh, or student Xinggong, can you sign a contract with me, uncle? Otherwise, your loving stepfather is very You will go to jail soon, your dear mother will lose her husband again, and the poor Xinwu brother will also be the same, and he will live on as the son of a criminal in the future."
"Bullshit, human, too, even..." Chaoyang couldn't hold back his temper anymore, he threw off the manager's restraint, and stretched out his hand to take out something dangerous from his body, "I want your tongue and fingers... Well!"
Before he could finish speaking, a hand covered his mouth.
"Stand back, you don't need to force yourself here." The calm to cold female voice made people unconsciously reduce their anger and trembled slightly.
Realizing something, Nakiri Chaoyang couldn't help turning his head to look over, and after seeing the calm and majestic look on that person's face that was exactly the same as in his memory, all his emotions were calmed down.
"Yes, Master." He took a step back, and his sudden and well-behaved appearance attracted the Fujiwara couple to look over in surprise. The young man didn't care, and just said with a smile, "Welcome back."
This sentence can be regarded as a reminder of the change in Yu Li for everyone.
"Yu, Yuli." Rumiko, who was still leaning in her husband's arms, reached out and wanted to grab her daughter, "You, remember?"
Then her hand was held by her daughter first, and the other party smiled at her: "Yes, Mom." Yu Li raised his head and looked at his stepfather again, "I'm sorry Uncle, I have caused you trouble."
Regardless of his tone and demeanor, he was no longer naive and ignorant just now. He was weighing calmly as an adult should. Seeing this, the stepfather was relieved and just shook his head: "It's good that you're fine."
Yu Li smiled at him, then let go of her mother's hand, turned and walked towards the owner of the mansion.
At this time, the smile on her face has become shallow, and the skirt of the evening dress on her body is swaying, but she no longer has the innocent spirit when she entered the stage before, but is full of a strong sense of oppression, and every step forward is like a turbulent wave .
"This aura... No, it's impossible!" The owner of the mansion couldn't accept this fact, and backed away again and again, "How could you recover your memory so quickly!"
"Thanks to Mr. Youkang." He took a step back, and Yu Li took a step forward, until he had no way to retreat, then stood three steps away from him, his eyes were condescending, "I repeatedly stimulated me with my family, Memories may not be so easy to recover."
This time it was Tomoyasu Yuichi's turn to turn pale.
But the cooking master opposite him obviously won't let him go so easily: "Mr. Youyasu has been asking me to treat his anorexia in the name of President Ono before. As my uncle's partner, it's really not good to invite me like this." It’s time to decline. I’ll accept it, and let’s settle it tonight.”
"Varied……!"
"Knee pill." Ignoring the astonishment of the owner of the mansion, Yu Li summoned his servants without looking back, "Go and inform President Ono and Mr. Dojima. I will treat everyone to dinner tonight." While speaking, his right hand Xin didn't know when he had already grasped a kitchen knife, and the words "Autumn Water" on it flashed under the light.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Kagemaru was blushing with excitement, agreeing more excitedly than anyone else.
It was too late for Youkang to stop him. In fact, he didn't even think that the bodyguard was in the room, let alone that the other party had such skills, so he could only smile flatteringly at the person in front of him with a pale face: "Xing Gong Master, in fact... there is no need to mobilize people like this. All of this is a misunderstanding."
"How come?" Yu Li smiled at him, and the kitchen knife in his hand directly twisted a beautiful knife flower, "You gave me such a big gift today, as a future chef who is so respected by you, I don't want to return the gift and prove it in public It's not my way of life."
There was a cold light on the blade, as if the other party was the food for supper.
It was late at night, but the Youkang mansion did not stop, and it was even lively.
Si Yingshi, who had finally dealt with the troubles in the hotel, rushed all the way, and finally arrived at the reception. He was relieved to see the crowd inside.
In this case, the probability that Mr. Xinggong is still there is not small. After all, there are still three master chefs... No, she doesn't have complete memory now, and it is not a good thing to be in it rashly.
I hope Nakiri Chaoyang is useful, at least to help her avoid some troubles.
The young man thought so, and just as he was about to step up to the front door, he heard a group of noisy voices getting closer and closer to the door, and he could faintly hear the title of "Master of the Star Palace".
She is still there...
"Master Xinggong, you are really amazing! He cured a severe anorexic patient with only one serving of dim sum. You are indeed the pinnacle of domestic cooks!"
"President Ono has completely surrendered to your cooking, and he is crying and begging for a place in Star Palace Castle."
"The Wright Group behind Master French is interested in cooperating with your Xinggong Pavilion. Are you sure you don't change your mind and give this opportunity to Yuan Yue and Guan Tian?"
"Master Xinggong, this cuisine that can cure anorexia must be another new work of your retreat for such a long time. I don't know how wonderful the taste of another kokguan cuisine tea soup is. Your talent really makes all geniuses tremble. ah."
Gradually stepping out of the figure from the brilliant light source, the first figure that appeared fell into Si Yingshi's eyes head-on, causing him to stop breathing.
It was a beautiful figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, with long hair hanging like clouds and mist, and the brightly framed facial features became soft and charming, and the legs wrapped in long skirts swayed with layered skirts as they walked. The appearance should be weak and charming, but the high-ranking temperament from the superior and the deliberate dignified alienation can't help but make people look up and awe.
Like a flower born on the peak of the mountain, it is beautiful and soft but unattainable, but it can't stop attracting people's hearts.
A gust of night wind blew by, shaking her skirt and the long hair on the side of her forehead. The girl frowned slightly because she was not used to it. She raised her fingers and stretched them from her bangs into her hair to comb her back. She had a smooth forehead. Si Yingshi's eyes could clearly see the expression of He and casual socializing.
At this time, her gaze also met him who was directly opposite.
The girl's somewhat cold emerald eyes showed a gentle smile, and she nodded to him: "Yingshi, are you here for the reception? Just in time, Senior Dojima and the others haven't left yet."
I'm here to see you.
Si Yingshi couldn't say that, at this time
