hello dear translator

Zhao Xiran told Li Zihua his thoughts, and the other party agreed without thinking about it.At the same time, he also made a date with Zhao Xiran, when the time came, he would hold a godfather recognition ceremony in front of relatives and friends.

"I'll trouble you, Mr. Li, to take care of these things!" Zhao Xiran was still very uncomfortable with the changes in front of him, and felt that all this was like a bubble, which would burst if touched a little.

"Xiran, why do you still call me Mr. Li?" Li Zihua said, "You should change your mouth!"

At this moment, Zhao Xiran became more and more embarrassed, looked left and right but did not see any extra people, so he called out in a low voice, "God... godfather."

"Hey, that's right!" Li Zihua said with a satisfied smile.

When Zhao Xiran came out of the hall, he bumped into many people in the manor along the way. Those people all showed respect when they saw her, and shouted at Miss Zhao one by one.

Even Wu Ma, who had doubts about her before, was no different from others when she saw her now, calling out: "Miss Zhao!"

After Zhao Xiran glanced at her, he continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, Mama Wu hurriedly ran after her, "Miss Zhao, where are you going?"

Hearing Wu Ma's urgent voice, Zhao Xiran stopped this time.He looked at the woman beside him very seriously, "Mother Wu, I want to go for a walk, so go and do your work!"

"But……"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Xiran's expression changed, "Why am I not qualified to be in this manor now?"

The reason why she agreed to recognize Li Zihua as her godfather was because she wanted to walk freely in this manor.

"Miss Zhao, I didn't mean that, I was just worried that you got lost in the manor!"

She knew that this was not the truth, and she also understood what Wu Ma wanted to hide.

It's just that now she is no longer the Zhao Xiran who was a guest before.

"Mother Wu, do you think that the manor is so big that I can't remember the way, or did you do something that you shouldn't do behind your husband's back, and you are worried that I will find out?"

Wu Ma quickly lowered her head when she heard this, "Miss Zhao, how dare I!"

"Since you don't dare, then don't block my way anymore. It won't do you any good if you annoy me!" Zhao Xiran sternly said.

Afterwards, Mama Wu did not dare to follow her again.

Zhao Xiran walked all the way towards the tree-shaded path at the back of the manor, and came to Shiche's alley. He just walked from beginning to end, but Zhao Xiran did not find any trace of Zhao's mother.

At this moment, Zhao Xiran was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He searched all the corners in the alley where he could hide, but still found nothing.

Where did she go?
Is it true that as Xiang Youjun said before, the mother just passed by by chance?

While thinking this way, he looked up and saw a small bungalow looming across the river.

He ran out uncontrollably, but suddenly heard Li Zihua's voice behind him after taking a few steps.

"Xi Ran, where are you going?"

His tone was lower than usual, and his face was dark.

"I, I want to see the other side!" Zhao Xiran stepped forward again.

"Tomorrow there will be a recognition ceremony, and there will be a lot of guests, you'd better go back to your room early to rest!" Li Zihua stared at her thoughtfully.

Zhao Xiran suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Not wanting to annoy Li Zihua at this time, he turned around and walked back.

"Xiran, there is nothing to do in the future, don't come to this place again!" Li Zihua said seriously.

"it is good."

Zhao Xiran returned to the bedroom, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

I always feel that there is something that cannot be told in the looming bungalow opposite!Perhaps, her mother is in that house right now!

Hiding in the bathroom, turned on the lotus canopy above his head, and when there was the rustling sound of running water in the bathroom, Zhao Xiran made a phone call.

"Brother Youjun, do you know what is the place opposite Li Zihua's manor?"

Xiang Youjun was startled when he heard this, and after a while he said: "Of course, what did you find?"

Zhao Xiran told You Junyuan exactly what he saw, "Those two men walked very fast, with light steps, and they didn't look like migrant workers at all. Besides, they lived in a strange place, a bungalow. It’s still built next to the water, isn’t it afraid of getting wind and disease?”

Xiang Youjun frowned, "Of course, don't act rashly. I forgot to tell you that the opposite of Li Zihua's manor is the project developed by Cheng Group's East Bank. Although it has been officially announced that Cheng Xiao will be in charge, the actual The power of development is still in the hands of Cheng Wei. I guess Cheng Wei wants to use the East Bank project to trap Cheng Xiao, and then let Cheng Xiao and Cheng Jiacong fight."

Zhao Xiran had already seen this, but she didn't understand Cheng Wei's purpose in doing this.

Could it be that Cheng Wei is different from others, has a special hobby, like watching his son fight?Or maybe he wants to learn from the ancient emperors, watching the fire from the other side, and stand up when Cheng Xiao and Cheng Jiacong lose both sides in the fight?

This is obviously illogical!

Zhao Xiran really couldn't figure it out.

"Of course, do you really intend to recognize Li Zihua as godfather?" Xiang Youjun asked suddenly.

He didn't hear the answer, and said again: "Li Zihua is a businessman, and businessmen are always mercenary. If you really recognize him as a godfather, it will not be so easy to get rid of him in the future!"

How could Zhao Xiran not know these things.

It's just that the current situation has no room for her to choose.

"Nothing is more important than my mother's safety now." Zhao Xiran said slowly, "Brother You Jun, don't worry about me. Instead, I want to persuade you to leave Cheng Jiacong as soon as possible, he is really not a good person. "

"I've thought about this a long time ago, and I'll go back as soon as Li Zihua's money arrives."

Zhao Xiran, who came out of the bath room, became more and more depressed.

I always feel that tomorrow's confession ceremony will not go so smoothly.

If she could take advantage of the chaos and go to the small one-story house, the doubts in her heart at this moment would definitely be resolved.

From daybreak, the helpers in the manor were busy arranging.

From the gate to the lobby, there is a new large pot of flowers added every other section, red, yellow, white, blue and purple, and the whole looks more like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

The entrance of the manor is decorated with lights and festoons, and Chinese and Western styles are mixed together, which looks nondescript.

Zhao Xiran doesn't like such extravagance and waste, and he doesn't like to let the world know about little things.

Regarding Li Zihua's actions, he is noncommittal.

But when Li Zihua specifically asked, he nodded coherently.

"Xiran, the guests are coming later, hurry up and get ready!" Li Zihua returned to his gentle and elegant appearance, but the present Zhao Xiran can no longer feel the kindness when we first met.

In her eyes, what this man values ​​is more utilitarianism.

Zhao Xiran followed Li Zihua's advice and went back to the bedroom. Sitting in front of the mirror, she carefully looked at the face opposite, and suddenly felt very strange.

She almost didn't know herself anymore. She recognized Li Zihua as her godfather, and even sneaked into the alley behind Li Zihua's manor to spy on the other side. This was something she would never have done in the past.

A burst of melodious music interrupted her thoughts.

Zhao Xiran only glanced at the phone, then pressed the answer button.

"Cheng Xiao, are you here?" The hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

"Just got off the plane." Cheng Xiao paused and then said: "Of course, you should do as you agreed before, and wait for me to come over!"

"Ah."

Zhao Xiran stayed in the bedroom for half an hour, until there was a knock on the door, and then he began to touch up his makeup.

"Miss Zhao, the master told you to come over when you're done." It was Mama Wu's voice.

She thought that Li Zihua's sudden visit to the back alley last night should be the letter reported by Wu Ma.

"understood!"

Zhao Xiran took the powder puff and patted his face, and after seeing nothing unusual, he went downstairs slowly.

The venue for the ceremony was chosen in the East Hall of Li Zihua Manor.

The east hall is not open on weekdays, and Li Zihua will invite people over only during major festivals and when there are distinguished guests at home. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this kinship recognition ceremony.

As soon as Zhao Xiran walked up the steps, he ran into Cheng Jiacong head-on.

With his hands in his pockets, he leisurely chatted with other guests standing in the corner of the corridor.

Seeing Zhao Xiran approaching, he whispered a few words to the people beside him, then stepped forward.

Carefully sized up Zhao Xiran, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Zhao, you've got a big tree like Li Zihua so soon!"

Zhao Xiran pretended that he didn't understand, and gave Cheng Jiacong a slight salute, "Sorry, I still have something to do, let's go ahead!"

At this moment, Cheng Jiacong took a few steps back, blocking her way.Loudly said: "Didn't everyone just wonder what Mr. Li's goddaughter looks like?"

Everyone's eyes turned in unison, Cheng Jiacong said with a smile: "The one next to me is Mr. Li's goddaughter!"

"So it's her!" Someone among the guests made such a voice.

Before Zhao Xiran could see who that person was, he heard another person in the crowd.

"Isn't she the one who was engaged to Cheng Xiao at the Century Hotel? It's called... Zhao what..."

"Zhao Xiran." Another person beside him added.

"I can't marry Cheng Cheng's family, and now I'm switching to Mr. Li's name, I really don't know how to behave!"

The people's discussion became louder and louder, and Zhao Xiran's expression changed after hearing this.

She had expected that once she recognized Li Zihua's godfather, gossip would be inevitable.What she didn't expect was that it was Cheng Jiacong who provoked all this.

"Second Young Master Cheng, defaming me is the purpose of your trip to the East Bank?"

Cheng Jiacong did not expect that Zhao Xiran, who was already at the top of the public opinion, could still chat with him calmly.

I couldn't help thinking of Tan Xiangxiang's many complaints about her before, and said coldly: "Zhao Xiran, do you really think that Li Zihua can treat you as one of his own? He just saw how pretty you are, and how similar you are to our Cheng family. Because of the relationship, I just recognized you as a goddaughter!"

"As long as I say no to Li Zihua, do you believe that today's marriage recognition ceremony cannot be carried out?" Zhao Xiran could clearly see the contempt in the man's eyes.

But she was not moved by it at all, instead she smiled and said to Cheng Jiacong: "Then you go and try and see if he can do what you want!"

Cheng Jiacong couldn't laugh anymore after hearing this.

They watched Zhao Xiran walk into the east hall.

"Second Young Master Cheng, this woman is really crazy!"

Cheng Jiacong gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait! Sooner or later I will pull out those thorns growing on her body."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the hall together with the man beside him.
