The heart of the pretender is sincere

Early the next morning, when Lingxi came to the restaurant for breakfast with all her make-up and hair done, everyone had already sat down. Naturally, he chose to sit on Cheng's side.

"Lingxi, your make-up is very grand today. Who are you going to meet?" Lingxi is young and good-looking, and her usual make-up is mainly light makeup, and sometimes she even has a bare face. Ming Jing was very surprised, she glanced at Ah Cheng, "Are you going on a date?"

Lingxi was a little dumbfounded, "Where did the date come from? Today at noon I made an appointment with Mr. Qin and Chen Xuanyu from the Shanghai Ballroom to sign the contract at the Shanghai Hotel. After the contract is signed, I will invite him to have a meal with his subordinates by the way. There are many things to cooperate in the next two months, and it is better for the people who are in contact with each other to get to know each other."

"That's true." Wen Yan Mingjing nodded, "I'm going to Hong Kong tomorrow. First, I'm going to see Mingtai by the way to transfer money. Second, I have two boxes of goods that I want to bring to Hong Kong. If there is any If you need anything, go to Ah Cheng for help."

"Eldest sister, don't worry, if something really happens, I will definitely go to Brother Ah Cheng." Lingxi glanced at Ah Cheng, and found that Ah Cheng was eating a bun and looking at him with a smile. There seemed to be sparks in the relative eyes, Lingxi hurriedly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him, let's have a good meal early in the morning.

And Ah Cheng just smiled, and followed Lingxi's line of sight to see that she wanted to hold an egg, but her hands were not long enough to hold it and it was inconvenient, so he helped her take the egg, peeled it, and put it in her pocket. In the bowl, Lingxi was stunned for a moment and went to look at him again, while Ah Cheng said calmly, "What else do you need, I'll get it for you."

Lingxi smiled, and enjoyed Ah Cheng's service with peace of mind. "I want a bowl of porridge, thank you Brother Ah Cheng."

"You're welcome." Even though the porridge was right in front of her, Ah Cheng helped Lingxi put it away very hard.

Minglou and Mingjing looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. Seeing that the two little ones were still arguing in the past two months, now that they have just returned, they seem to be reconciled sweetly. There's a wedding going on.

***

Ah Cheng didn't tell Ling Xi that he would actually be at the Shanghai Hotel today. The three of them had lived abroad together for ten years. Although they had repeatedly reduced their luggage to give away when they returned home, they still packed more than [-] large and small bags. The small suitcase came back. This is the result after Mingtai sent some of his luggage home when he went to study in Hong Kong.They piled up their luggage in the hotel before they went home. Now that they have moved back home, they naturally want to bring all their luggage back. He came here today to pack his luggage.

Liang Zhongchun brought people from No. 76 to drive a truck to help Ah Cheng move things, and it was already lunch time when everything was packed and sent out.Ah Cheng had already been instructed by Minglou to establish a good relationship with Liang Zhongchun, so he naturally proposed to invite Director Liang to dinner to thank him for his help today. Liang Zhongchun also knew that Ah Cheng had a good relationship with the customs, and he would rely on him for future shipments He didn't refuse either, the two people with different thoughts hit it off, catered to each other and chatted very congenially, and felt like seeing each other late.Moreover, both of them knew that they would have to talk about something that should not be known to outsiders today, so they specially asked for a box on the second floor, and now Liang Zhongchun also called each other brother Ah Cheng and seemed very familiar.

Before going upstairs, Ah Cheng subconsciously looked in the lobby of the hotel to see if Lingxi was there. Turning around, he happened to see Lingxi at the front desk who seemed to be talking to the waiter. He turned to look at Liang Zhongchun , "Director Liang, I saw an acquaintance. I'll go over and say hello to her and she'll be here in a while. Why don't you go in and order in the box."

Liang Zhongchun had a request from him, so naturally he had nothing to disagree with, "Okay, brother Ah Cheng, if you have something to do, go and do it first, I'll wait for you in the box."

"Then thank you Director Liang, I'll excuse you first."

Liang Zhongchun squinted his small eyes and followed Ah Cheng's figure, and saw a young lady with long hair at the front desk talking to the waiter. Although she could only see a side face, she could be seen at a glance. Beauty, that long black and smooth hair is even more dazzling.He thought to himself that since Mingcheng returned to China for more than a month, how many girls have expressed their love for him overtly and secretly, and he was not moved. It turned out that he liked this one. Liang Zhongchun claimed to have seen many beauties. For example, although Wang Manchun is a murderer without batting an eyelid, it is undeniable that Wang Manchun is very beautiful, otherwise he would not have been entangled with Chief Ming for more than ten years and still be inseparable. However, the current long-haired person is full of immortality, and he is just a good person. The appearance of a fairy who cannibalize fireworks is even worse than that of Wang Manchun, Liang Zhongchun couldn't help sighing in his heart, this kid Mingcheng is very lucky.

"Ling Xi."

Lingxi turned her head and saw Ah Cheng, she was relieved immediately, she was really a savior from heaven, "Brother Ah Cheng, it's really kind of you to be here, please lend me your wallet first."

Although he didn't know what happened, Ah Cheng took out his wallet and handed it to Ling Xi, "What's the matter?"

"Today is miserable, I'll tell you later." Lingxi took out six ten-yuan French coins from Ah Cheng's wallet and handed them to the cashier, waiting for the cashier to find the change, and then gave all the change to the person next to him. assistant.

"You take the money for Miao Miao first, and the table in the private room will be handed over to you. If you don't have enough food, you can add a few more dishes yourself. I don't care about the people from Mr. Qin's side, but we The few people around must return to the Ming's Building safely. There should be a lot of money, and the remaining money will be charged to our activity funds for next time. If you really don't have enough money, you can Post a little by yourself first, and ask me to reimburse you tomorrow."

Miao Miao is an assistant recruited by Lingxi herself. She is a very hardworking and capable girl. She took the money from Lingxi, "Okay, manager, won't you have dinner with us?"

"No, I must be uncomfortable eating with you. You didn't see that Mr. Qin and Ms. Chen also left after signing the contract, and I have other important things. Please tell everyone for me."

"Okay, manager, I'm going to eat first."

"Well, go quickly, they will eat all the delicious food if you go late."

After Lingxi watched Miao Miao leave, she couldn't hold back her smiling face. She turned around and looked listlessly at Ah Cheng returning the wallet to him, her voice was full of disappointment, "Brother Ah Cheng, are you busy today? You and the people from the police station Are you familiar?"

Looking at Lingxi's expression, Ah Cheng knew that something happened to her, so he dragged her to the sofa in the hotel lobby and sat down, "I have nothing to do today. The luggage I went back to China before was piled up in the hotel. I came to carry it." , but I'm not familiar with the police station, did something happen?"

Lingxi sighed, took off the bag she was carrying, turned it over and handed it to Ah Cheng. The long cut on the bag clearly showed that it was cut by a knife. Originally, she was here to sign the contract today, so I specially chose a large bag that can hold documents. Fortunately, there is a thick leather document bag outside the contract, otherwise it will be troublesome if the contract is damaged.

"I met a pickpocket and my wallet was stolen. It wasn't anything important, but there is a very important photo in the wallet. I must get it back."

Hearing that Ah Cheng pulled Lingxi to look up and down, it seemed that there was no trauma, "Are you alright?"

Lingxi continued to sigh, "Brother Ah Cheng, I'm fine, but that photo is a photo of me and my parents, and this is the only one, and now I lost it."

Ah Cheng remembered that Lingxi had said that her parents had passed away, and that she herself was rescued by her elder sister after fleeing the war in Nanjing two years ago to Suzhou. There was only one photo, and he probably understood this photo. "Where did you lose it?"

"I came out of Ming's Building and was hit by someone in the underground parking lot. I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I think it's that person. This person is so professional that he must be a repeat offender. Maybe someone in the police station knows this person. "

Ah Cheng thought about it and thought that Liang Zhongchun might be able to help. He wanted to touch Lingxi's head to calm her emotions, but he held back, "I don't need to go to the police station for the time being. Although I am not familiar with the police station, I think of a person, finding him is probably more effective than looking for the police, I will take you to find him now."

Hearing this, Lingxi's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, Brother Acheng, take me there quickly."

Liang Zhongchun didn't expect Ah Cheng to bring this girl over for dinner, but there was nothing urgent about what they wanted to talk about, so he guessed that there must be some business to bring this girl here at this moment.

Sure enough, Ah Cheng introduced the two of them to each other, and told Liang Zhongchun about Diu Lingxi's lost wallet. Liang Zhongchun looked at Ah Cheng with such an expression on his face. Come and ask me, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

"Director Liang, I'm really sorry to bother you, mainly because this photo is very important to me, so if you can help me get it back, it will be considered that I owe you a favor." Lingxi didn't pay attention to the two men There was eye contact between them, and she was now in a hurry to get the photo back.

"Miss Li's words are too polite. You are a friend of Brother Ah Cheng and I am a friend of someone Liang. It is naturally obligatory for someone Liang to help a friend. I don't know what this wallet looks like and what is in it. The photo is What kind?" Liang Zhongchun felt that he was not a good person, and it was rare for him to do a good deed today. This kind of favor must be remembered on Ah Cheng. The tone of speech was a little gentle.

"The wallet is a very common folding style on the market. It is flesh pink. There are only some money and a photo in it. The photo is a photo of me and my parents. The best thing to recognize is that this photo is in color. It is the same as what is currently on the market. The difference between black and white photos is very obvious."

Liang Zhongchun and Ah Cheng were both taken aback when they heard that it was a color photo, but Ah Cheng hid his expression very well, and stared back at Liang Zhongchun's questioning gaze.Liang Zhongchun hit a wall with Ah Cheng, touched his nose and carefully searched in his heart which family lady Li Lingxi was from. Liang Zhongchun knew about the color photos, but it was said that they were used in special institutions. Now, a girl told him that a daily group photo of her family was in color, and he didn't know who this girl was from.

Lingxi felt Liang Zhongchun's surprise, "Is there any problem, Director Liang?"

"No, no." Liang Zhongchun realized that his mind had been distracted, and quickly returned to his senses with a more humble attitude, "Then, did Miss Li see what that pickpocket looked like?"

"Yes, I drove here directly from the underground parking lot, and I didn't meet anyone at all. After thinking about it, only one person is eligible. I'll show you a picture."

It took Lingxi 10 minutes to draw a simple sketch of a portrait of a person, which surprised Liang Zhongchun and Ah Cheng again. A person who has only met once can draw it quickly, and his appearance and characteristics are still The similarity to real people is extremely high, which shows that the painting skills are not ordinary.

The reason why Liang Zhongchun knew that Lingxi's paintings were highly similar to real people was because he knew this person.This person is a young man under his brother-in-law Tong Hu. The reason why I remember this person is because Tong Hu specially introduced him. This person has no other skills but his third hand is very powerful. Tong Hu also likes him. It was his efforts in this area that brought him under his command.

When the matter became clearer, Liang Zhongchun became more confident in his speech. He took the portrait in Lingxi's hand and put it away carefully, "Miss Li, don't worry, leave this matter to me, Mr. Liang. If I find the wallet, I will send it to you." How about showing it to Brother Ah Cheng."

Lingxi nodded, "It's ok, as long as I can get the photos back, I don't care about the money in the wallet, please Director Liang."

"Miss Li, you are welcome, come and eat, I will call the waiter to serve..."

In the last meal, because of Lingxi's temporary joining, Liang Zhongchun didn't have a chance to talk about what he wanted to talk to Ah Cheng. The government office can look for him, or simply call the Ming Mansion. After all, there is always one of these two places where he can be found.

***

After dinner, Ah Cheng saw that Lingxi had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he took her home to help pack her luggage. At this time, the luggage brought back from the Shanghai Hotel was piled up in the living room, and the old lady at home said that the elder sister took Ah Xiang and went out in the morning. They didn't come back to eat at noon, and they probably won't come back until dinner, so the only ones who can clean up now are the two of them.

Lingxi was surprised to see the twenty or so cardboard boxes neatly arranged in a row in the living room, "There are so many, these belong to you and your eldest brother? And Mingtai's, right?"

"That's right. After all, we have lived abroad for ten years. It's normal to have a lot of things. This is a lot more streamlined. A lot of things can't be brought back and finally given away." Ah Cheng found the scissors and opened one to write. The box with Minglou's name was found to be full of books, so it happened that the study was on the first floor and these books were moved in first.

Ah Cheng looked at Lingxi holding the scissors and was completely helpless. Instead of being as smart as before, he looked very cute, "Lingxi, please help me open all the boxes, and then take out everything except the clothes." Okay? Just be careful not to get hurt by the scissors."

"Okay, I can do this." After receiving the task assignment, Lingxi quickly entered the state.First open the boxes one by one, take out everything except clothes, soon the coffee table will be full, wait for the sofa, in case you get tired, you have to sit down and rest, so let’s put it on the floor...

So Ah Cheng found that he just put a box of books in his eldest brother's study, and then sorted them out in about ten minutes. When he came out of the living room, it was like flowers had exploded, and things were all over the floor.And the instigator, Ms. Li Lingxi, was standing in the middle of the luggage with scissors in her hands, as if asking who am I?where am iwhat am i doing

"I... I opened the luggage according to your request, and then took out everything except the clothes." Lingxi didn't know what was going on, she suddenly seemed to be trapped in the middle of these luggage, Tried to go out, but found that there was nowhere to go.

"Pfft..." Ah Cheng has always been a very good agent and a very gentleman and gentle person. He usually doesn't laugh when he encounters funny things, unless he really can't help it.

Lingxi felt that Ah Cheng laughed too much, her mouth was going to go behind her ears, she stomped her feet, "Brother Ah Cheng, don't laugh! It's not just to help you, come and save me, I Can't get out."

As she talked, Lingxi laughed out loud. She felt that she was really not good at tidying up. From learning to fold clothes when she was a child to studying abroad later, in order to reduce the number of times of tidying up, she kept streamlining and breaking things up again and again.In the past two years, living in the Ming Mansion, with Ah Xiang, a good storage expert, Lingxi no longer has to worry about tidying up, and the rooms and cabinets are neat and tidy, so she has the illusion that she is a storage master. Sure enough, he was corrupted by the life of capitalism, and he couldn't recognize how much he weighed.

"Stand still, I'll come and save you now." Ah Cheng tried his best not to laugh out loud, his long legs were also very difficult to walk, and he walked up to Lingxi after a few stumbling steps , and then look around to see which direction to go is the most appropriate.

Because Ming Jing was going to Hong Kong tomorrow, he took Ah Xiang out to buy some things. When he came back, he happened to meet at the door Mr. Ming who skipped work early and returned home. The scene was stunned, the room was full of luggage scattered on the ground, and Lingxi and Ah Cheng stood among the luggage.

When Lingxi heard the voice, she turned her head and looked towards the door. She lost her balance when she moved suddenly. She screamed and wobbled as if she was about to fall. Fortunately, Ah Cheng reacted quickly and grabbed her sleeve. This avoided an injury.

"Big sister, big brother, hehe... You guys came back so early..." The two greeted Mingjing and Minglou with awkward smiles.

Ming Jing sighed and looked at Ming Lou, "Is this something you brought back from France?"

"Yes, big sister." Minglou knew that if his big sister was upset and wanted to sit together, his own brother would bear the brunt of it, so he quickly changed the subject, "Why are you two still standing there? Why don't you just admit who the culprit is? Take the initiative to clean up the mess."

"Brother, I didn't do it on purpose, and I don't know how it became like this." Lingxi, the culprit, looked at Minglou with aggrieved eyes, her big eyes looked extremely innocent.

Ming Lou still wanted to say something, but seeing the two of them staggering and standing still, he decided to forget it, "You two should come out first, don't wait until you fall down."

In the end, it was Ah Cheng who held Lingxi's hand, and with the help of Ming Jing and Ah Xiang, he was able to break out of the encirclement, and then the five of them cleaned up the mess together.The main force to clean up this time is Ah Cheng and Ah Xiang. Ming Jing offered to help because he couldn't stand the mess in the living room, Ming Lou was forced to do it together because the way to his room was blocked, and Ling Xi was marginalized by everyone. , the four of them agreed that it was better not to let her do it again, otherwise it would be even more messy later, and it would be enough to help with a pair of scissors and a cup of tea.
