After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

"Xiao Lian, why didn't Yanxi come in and sit down?"

Bai Lian handed the suitcase in his hand to the servant. When Zhou Rou asked, he replied quietly: "There is something going on at Yanxi Company."

Bai Ziyu hummed: "I don't think there's something going on in the company. I heard that the little bitch came back from his hometown today. I'm afraid he's in a hurry to find the little bitch."

Bai Lian frowned slightly: "Ziyu, you are the second young master of the Bai family, how can you speak so vulgarly. If outsiders hear this, they will only think that there is something wrong with the Bai family's upbringing."

Zhou Rou nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ziyu, it doesn't matter if you speak vulgarly at home, but don't speak so vulgarly in front of outsiders in the future."

Bai Lian looked serious: "Don't speak vulgarly at home. If you speak too much, it will become a habit. You won't be able to change it in front of outsiders in the future."

Zhou Rou smiled sarcastically: "Ziyu, your brother is right. From now on, whether you are at home or outside, you must be careful when speaking. You are the second young master of the Bai family, and you cannot make people think that there is something wrong with the Bai family's upbringing."

Bai Ziyu pouted: "I know."

Seeing that her younger son was unhappy, Zhou Rou quickly looked at her eldest son and changed the subject: "Xiao Lian, what do you think of Yanxi's attitude towards you? Is he still as close to you as before? He can't really be like Ziyu said, Did you use the excuse of something going on at the company to find your little lover?"

"Yanxi's attitude towards me is still the same as before. I heard from his driver that he changed the meeting time specially to pick me up at the airport. He thought he came and left because something really happened in the company. I believe Yanxi, he will not lie to me."

Bai Ziyu: "Last time the circle got together, Brother Yanxi embarrassed me on the spot because of that little bitch, Chu Yanyi. Now many people in the circle are speculating whether Brother Yanxi has fallen in love with Chu Yanyi. Brother, Now that you're back, you have to take good care of Brother Yanxi and don't let him be seduced by Chu Yanyi."

"Your brother is right." When Chu Yanyi was mentioned, Zhou Rou remembered what she had told Bai Ziyu last time: "Ziyu, is Chu Yanyi the son of that cheap... ahem... Lu Yunxing?"

"I asked Brother Xiuyuan to check, and he wasn't."

"Didn't I ask you to find Zhou Ding to investigate? How could you find Jing Xiuyuan to investigate? What if he knew about those things in the past..."

"Zhou Ding has always looked down on us. If you ask him to help investigate, you may not agree. If you ask Brother Xiuyuan, he will not refuse at least for the sake of his brother. I only asked Brother Xiuyuan to help investigate Chu Yanyi's life experience, and I didn't Let Cha check other things, he won’t know those things in the past.”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Rou reluctantly relaxed.

Bai Lian asked: "Zhou Ding was beaten, have you found out who did it?"

Zhou Rou sighed slightly: "The Zhou family has been asking people to check for more than a week, but they still found nothing."

Bai Lian thought for a moment: "Who has he offended? You can check among the people he offended."

"Zhou Ding usually offends too many people, and there is no way to investigate."

"How is he doing now?"

"Still in the hospital, he should be discharged in the next few days."

……

Now that Bai Yueguang is back, Song Yanxi and Bai Yueguang will inevitably have to "talk by candlelight at night and express their feelings to each other". There is a 100% chance that Song Yanxi will not come to Huajin Garden to find him tonight.

Chu Yanyi took a taxi from the airport and went directly back to his residence, Jinxiu Garden, and Chi Yu followed him shamelessly.

Neither of them knew how to cook. Chu Yanyi remembered the hot pot that he failed to eat last time, so he picked up his phone and ordered hot pot on the takeout app.

An hour later, the red soup in the steaming pot on the table was boiling, and hot mist came out, and the rich and spicy smell filled the entire living room.

Both of them like to eat meat, and the table is almost filled with all kinds of meat dishes. Except for kelp, there are no vegetarian dishes.

Chi Yu put in beef, mutton, tripe, and duck blood one after another.

Roll it inside for two or three minutes, and when you take it out, it's covered in safflower chili oil, so there's no need for extra sauce.

As soon as I took one bite, my taste buds and my entire nerves were taken over by the fiery taste.

Chu Yanyi's mouth was red from the heat, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, but he didn't pause at all when he put his chopsticks into the pot.

Hot pot is a carnival for people who like spicy food. Chi Yu's mouth was full of oil. He pulled the tissue aside and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Spicy and hot, it's really enjoyable!"

After the two of them took out the contents of the pot and finished eating, Chi Yu put in shrimp paste, kelp, cod fillets, beef louvers, pork belly and other things.

Chu Yanyi used a colander to scoop out a lot of cod fillets and put them into a bowl. He mixed some chopped coriander and minced garlic, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

The fish fillets are tender and delicious.

"Don't cook this cod fillet for too long, otherwise it won't taste delicious. You should quickly take out the rest and eat it."

"Oh ok."

Chi Yu reached into the soup with a slotted spoon and scooped all the cod fillets into the bowl.

After Chu Yanyi finished eating the cod fillets, he started scooping out the pork belly from the pot.

Don't cook pork belly for too long, just blanch it for five or six minutes, so that it tastes fresh and delicious. If it is cooked for a long time, it will be a bit hard to chew.

After filling up their empty stomachs to half full, the speed of scooping vegetables into the pot gradually slowed down, and the two of them had time to chat.

"Now that Song Yanxi and Bai Yueguang are back, he should be with Bai Yueguang soon."

Chu Yanyi lowered his eyebrows and chewed the pork belly in his mouth.

"When the time comes, will you leave Song Yanxi?"

Chu Yanyi raised his eyelids and curled his lips casually: "They will not be together."

"How is that possible?! Song Yanxi has been waiting for Bai Lian for three years. Now that Bai Lian has finally returned to China, maybe they have rolled into the same bed now."

Chu Yanyi looked at Chi Yu, whose eyes were wide open, and his passionate eyes were bright and charming: "So what if they roll on the same bed, I won't let them be together anyway."

"Why? Don't you dislike Song Yanxi? Do you care who he is with?"

Chu Yanyi said in a faint tone: "Song Yanxi can be with anyone, except Bai Lian."

Chi Yu was stunned and said subconsciously: "He wants to be with Bai Lian, and you can't stop him."

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, and a clear and confident smile appeared in his ink-like eyes: "That's not necessarily the case."

Chi Yu was dazzled by his smile, and secretly cursed "monster" in his mind: "How are you going to stop them from being together?"

Chu Yanyi fished out two pieces of shrimp from the pot and slid them out. After a while, he said calmly: "If there is a life between the two of them, even if they like each other, they will not be able to be together peacefully."

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he recovered from his words and looked at him in shock: "Yan Yi, what do you mean by this? Are you going to do something to stop them from getting together... …”

Chu Yanyi interrupted him speechlessly: "What are you thinking about? Life is precious, how could I do that."

Chi Yu picked up the cup and took a few sips of water, then breathed out softly: "It scared me to death. I thought you really fell in love with Song Yanxi and stopped them from getting together at the cost of your life."

Chu Yanyi: "Please! I'm not a lover."
