Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Chapter 2068 Get used to it
Chinatown.

When Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi came to Chen Zhaozhong's roast goose restaurant, Chen Zhaozhong was busy cleaning up with the staff.

At this time, it was already past noon, and there were no guests in the restaurant. Gu Qiuyi was not worried about being recognized, so she just put on a mask and went into the restaurant with Ye Chen on her arm.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, the sensor at the door dinged to remind a guest to come in. The busy guy said without looking up: "Sorry, we have closed the meal."

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Get us something to eat, we haven't eaten yet."

Chen Zhaozhong heard Ye Chen's voice, turned his head and saw that he and Gu Qiuyi came together, he couldn't help but brows happily, and said with a smile: "Why haven't you two eaten at this time?"

Gu Qiuyi took Ye Chen's arm and said delicately, "Hello, Uncle Zhong!"

Ye Chen also said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, we went to Fei's house for a visit at noon. We wanted to grab a meal, but we couldn't do it in the end."

Gu Qiuyi pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered: "You insisted on letting the couple of Fei's family drink, but in the end they got drunk, and I didn't feel in the mood to eat anymore."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaozhong said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that there is a story in it, you two hurry up and sit upstairs, I will prepare some food for you two, and we will talk to me after we sit down Say."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, and said, "Uncle Zhong, then the two of us will go up and wait for you."

Gu Qiuyi also smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, I want to eat two roasted pigeons!"

Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said, "Alright, you guys go upstairs first, and I'll get ready right away."

Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi went up the stairs together, but before they reached the second floor, they heard another ding at the door, and then, a somewhat familiar voice said: "Boss, both of you."

Ye Chen subconsciously stopped, squatted down a little, and saw the two people who came in through the gap in the stairs.

It was his uncle, An Chongqiu who spoke, and the one standing beside his uncle was the famous Chinese detective Li Yalin.

It's just that today's Li Yalin lacked the demeanor that Ye Chen saw him last time, and his beard was scruffy, and he looked very listless.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly gave Gu Qiuyi a hand, and the two hurried upstairs first.

Gu Qiuyi followed Ye Chen to look at her quietly just now, and she also recognized Li Yalin, but she didn't know why Ye Chen seemed to avoid him on purpose, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked, "Brother Ye Chen, do you have any clues that were caught by that Detective Li?" Has the master mastered it?"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "I'm not avoiding him, I'm avoiding the person next to him."

Gu Qiuyi quickly asked: "Brother Ye Chen, who is that person?"

Ye Chen shrugged, and said lightly: "That person is my uncle."

"Ah?!" Gu Qiuyi asked in surprise, "It's your uncle? Why don't we go say hello?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "He still doesn't know about my situation, so he's still gone."

Gu Qiuyi said puzzledly: "Why... My dad said that your grandfather's family really wants to find out your whereabouts. Wouldn't it be great if we could get to know each other again?"

Ye Chen sighed softly, and said, "Forget it."

……

On the other side, when Chen Zhaozhong saw An Chongqiu, he couldn't help saying in surprise: "Sir, you haven't been here for a while."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yalin who was at the side again, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said with a face full of shock: "This... this should be the famous Chinese detective Inspector Li, right?"

In fact, Chen Zhaozhong was somewhat nervous at this time, because he and Li Yalin met at the Wangfu Hotel the night Fei Haoyang disappeared.

However, at that time, Chen Zhaozhong put on a suit and tie, specially shaved his beard and had his hair done. He looked like a handsome uncle in the upper class. He was very different from the image of the ordinary restaurant owner wearing an apron now. Therefore, he intentionally took the initiative to ask a question, hoping to guide Li Yalin, making him think that the two met for the first time, and it was regarded as an offense instead of a defense.

Li Yalin really didn't recognize Chen Zhaozhong at this moment, he gave a wry smile absent-mindedly, and laughed at himself: "I'm not a detective, I just got a false name."

An Chongqiu said with a smile: "Boss, don't talk to him, he is agitated, we haven't eaten yet, you should be able to eat this, right? I see two young people came in just now."

Seeing that Li Yalin did not recognize him, Chen Zhaozhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, we have already closed the meal. The two children you saw just now are my old friend's children. They are so late and haven't had lunch yet. Let them go upstairs."

After speaking, Chen Zhaozhong said again: "But since you are here, naturally you can't let the two of you go for nothing. How about this, you two sit on the first floor and tell the waiter if you want something to eat, and I will prepare it."

"Okay." An Chongqiu nodded and smiled, "Then thank you, boss."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Yalin: "Old Li, sit down wherever you want, and let you try the best Cantonese-style roast goose in New York."

Li Yalin smacked his lips and said, "Oh, I actually want to drink two cups most now."

After speaking, he looked up at the small wine cabinet behind the restaurant counter, and said in surprise, "Boss, do you still have Erguotou here?"

"Yes." Chen Zhaozhong said with a smile: "Imported from China, would you like to try a bottle?"

Li Yalin smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay! Two bottles!"

An Chongqiu couldn't help teasing: "You drink so much at noon, why don't you work in the afternoon?"

Li Yalin shook his head: "Anyway, I can't find any clues. I'll go to the office to sleep in the afternoon. I've been spinning for two days, so I should sleep."

An Chongqiu nodded, and said casually: "Okay, let's have a drink with you. After drinking, I will go home and sleep. I will return to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning."

Li Yalin asked in surprise: "Why did you leave so early? Don't you stay in New York for two more days?"

An Chongqiu waved his hands and said: "I can't stay any longer, I have to go back to see the old man. It's been a while since I came back from China, and I haven't been back."

Li Yalin nodded very understandingly, and said, "It's time to go back and have a look, and help me take care of the old man and the old lady."

As he said that, he remembered something, and said, "The old man should still remember me, right?"

An Chongqiu nodded: "I remember."

"That's good."

At this moment, Ye Chen on the second floor felt a little on pins and needles.

He didn't want to have anything to do with his grandfather's family, but both times he was separated from his uncle An Chongqiu by a wall, which still made him feel somewhat strange.

It is strange to say, but it is more of a contradiction.

The root of the conflict is that on the one hand, Ye Chen really wanted to draw a clear line with them and get rid of all ties, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but want to go up and say hello, and by the way, ask him why the An family looked down on him so much back then. Father?
In addition, he also wanted to ask if the An family knew the real reason why his parents were murdered.

Gu Qiuyi, who was sitting opposite Ye Chen, saw his discomfort, reached out and gently held his hand, with soft eyes and soft voice, said: "Brother Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Chen said casually: "It's nothing, I'm fine."

"No." Gu Qiuyi said seriously: "Do you feel that your uncle sitting downstairs makes you uncomfortable?"

"Probably." Ye Chen didn't try to be brave, and nodded slightly as an admission.

Gu Qiuyi suddenly felt sorry for Ye Chen.

She knew that despite Ye Chen's outstanding strength and extraordinary achievements, the past ten or twenty years after his parents' death had not been satisfactory, so deep down in his heart, there was inevitably some sensitivity.

So, she held Ye Chen's hand firmly, and said seriously: "Brother Ye Chen, if you feel uncomfortable staying here, I'll lend you the mask, let's go first!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, just get used to it a little bit!"
