Marriage is not lustful

Chapter 140 A Different New Year's Eve Dinner

Coming out of Gu Changqing's office, Chu Ge felt a little dizzy.

"What's wrong with you?" Leng Xize supported her.

"It's okay." Chu Ge shook his head to wake himself up.

"He said it's okay, if I hadn't helped you just now, you almost fainted!" Leng Xize looked nervous.

"Actually, I... fainted from hunger." Chu Ge told the truth.

"Dizzy?" Leng Xize still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, you see it's this time, and I'm pregnant, shouldn't I be hungry?" Chu Ge deliberately said it lightly.

Leng Xize endured so much silently, she wanted to make him happy.

"Okay, I'll take you to eat." Seeing that she wasn't joking, Leng Xize relaxed.Holding her shoulders, he walked out of the hospital.

The next day, Leng Xize didn't accompany Chu Ge to the hospital because he was busy with things in the company.

"President, the medical examiner's appraisal report has been sent over. After appraisal, no other wounds were found, and he was not poisoned. He was indeed hanged and suffocated to death." Liu Haonan knocked on the door and came in, reporting to Leng Xizehui.

"Where's the handwriting?" Leng Xize asked again.

"The handwriting is also written by him, which is completely consistent." Liu Haonan said, placing the two identification results in front of him.

Leng Xize took a look at it himself, and it was indeed consistent with what Liu Haonan said.

"And the latest news came from the police station. Wu Changren's wife just went to the police station and said that after reading the two identification results, she already believed that he really committed suicide." Liu Haonan remembered this, so report to him.

"She suddenly believed it?" Leng Xize felt a little strange.That night, she kept saying over and over that it was impossible for her husband to commit suicide, but after only two short days, she suddenly figured it out?

Judging from her situation at the time, she should still not believe it.

"Yes, she has handed over the 200 million that Wu Changren received from Sun to the police station, and she intends to stop this matter." Liu Haonan said again.

"Okay, I got it." Leng Xize faintly felt that something was wrong, he opened his notebook, and checked the surveillance with Wu Changren again, and he really didn't find anything unusual.

In prison, his mood appeared a little nervous and agitated.

At the time when the shift was handed over in the evening, Wu Changren suddenly walked into a dead corner of surveillance, and never appeared again.And that's where he hanged himself.

As for the instrument of hanging, it is the bed sheet.

Could it be that all of this is really that simple, is it just that he thinks too much?Leng Xize frowned.

It was the Chinese New Year season at this time, and almost all the employees in the company had gone home on vacation. It became difficult to investigate Wu Changren's usual relationship in the company.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Although Leng Xize has repeatedly stated that it is okay not to go back for the New Year, but in the end he is still no match for Chu Ge's hard work.

In fact, she really didn't want to go, but after all, Leng Xize was the only son of their two elders, and now that they were getting older, she couldn't be so selfish and monopolize their son.Moreover, during the important reunion season of the Chinese New Year, she couldn't let the two elders live in such a cold way.

After making arrangements for Ye Fei, the two walked out of the hospital and went straight back to the cold house.

The cold house is surrounded by a mass of greenery. Although it is the end of the year, those trees are still bursting with vitality as always.

The flowers in the garden are also very colorful.If it weren't for the biting cold wind outside, it would be hard for the people here to feel that this is the coldest time of the year.

Two servants came over and opened the car door for Leng Xize and Chu Ge.

Leng Xize came over and took Chu Ge's hand. He looked at her steadfastly, as if silently cheering her on.

Chu Ge gave him a reassuring look.

The two walked in carrying the gifts prepared for the second elder.

"Master, madam, young master and young mistress are back!" The housekeeper walked in first and said to the two sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Hearing the butler's words, the three people in the living room cast their gazes over.

Why is Li Die here?

When Leng Xize saw Li Die sitting beside his mother, still acting very intimately, his brows furrowed again.

When the three people who were talking and laughing saw Leng Xize and Chu Ge, their expressions froze.

"You guys are back? Come and sit down!" Fan Yun greeted them with a smile.

Leng Zuohao just glanced at them silently and didn't speak.

After what happened to Gillander, when they knew that all the designs were made by Chu Ge, they didn't seem to reject her as much as before.

The two walked side by side to the sofa at the other end of the living room and sat down.

"Xiaodie came over this morning and has been chatting with us!" Fan Yun said without words.

"I also don't have anywhere to go during the Chinese New Year, so I came to visit my uncle and aunt." Li Die also explained.

"It's Chinese New Year, you don't have anywhere to go?" Leng Xize's tone showed his distrust of her unabashedly.

"Xize, how can you talk to Xiaodie like that? Her parents have gone abroad, so she came here to talk with us old couple." Fan Yun was afraid that her son might misunderstand Li Die, so she said again.

Leng Xize fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fan Yun picked up the gift that Li Die had prepared for her on the coffee table in order to ease the atmosphere: "Look, Xi Ze, this is the scarf that Xiao Die woven for me and your father, isn't it pretty? "

When Leng Xize and Chu Ge saw the two scarves, they both showed surprise in their eyes.

How could it be such a coincidence!

"Now your dad and I don't need anything. Giving this kind of hand-knitted thing keeps you warm and shows the heart of the person who gave the gift. Your dad and I like it very much!" Fan Yun took Li Die's hand The scarf I knitted for her seemed a bit fond of it.

"You knitted it?" Leng Xize looked at Li Die in disbelief.

"Yeah, I know that my uncle and aunt don't need anything. After thinking about it, I thought of giving a scarf, so I remembered to learn how to weave it." Li Die said.

"Xiao Die is really considerate!" Fan Yun's expressions and words made it easy to see her love for Li Die.

"Since you think giving a scarf is a very thoughtful thing, I still have it here!" Leng Xize said, wanting to get the gift box that they put on the coffee table just after they came in.

Chu Ge wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was too late.

Leng Xize opened the gift box, and inside lay two neatly folded scarves.

He picked up the gift box and handed it to Fan Yun: "Chu Ge has been weaving this for many nights!"

Fan Yun did not expect that Chu Ge would give her the same gift, and even the design and color of the two scarves were exactly the same as those given by Li Die, but fortunately, the designs and colors of the two of them were different.

Fan Yun took the gift box with some embarrassment, because she just praised Li Die for being considerate in sending the scarf, so if she didn't say some words of praise, it would be easy for people to see her favoritism towards Li Die.

"Thank you!" Fan Yun didn't even look at it, but wanted to put the gift box away.

"Mother, why didn't you take a closer look, I think Chu Ge's weaving is very good, it must be the style you like!" Leng Xize seemed to be very persistent on this question.

If it was a gift for his mother, he didn't care if she would read it, but this time Chu Ge put a lot of effort into weaving it.

In order to drive out both scarves today, she had to take care of Ye Fei in the hospital during the day, and after dinner at night, she would sit on the sofa and weave the scarves. She stayed up for several nights before finally finishing the weaving.

She gave so much thought and energy, but what she got in return was her mother's perfunctory attitude, and he felt sorry for Chu Ge.

Chu Ge tugged at the hem of his clothes behind him, signaling him to stop talking.

"I've already seen Xiaodie's weaving, and it should be similar." Fan Yun's words did not mean to take a closer look.

The reason why she didn't want to open the scarf was because she had already seen that Chu Ge's was much better-looking than Li Die's. If she opened it, Li Die would lose face.

"Parents, you'd better open it and have a look, this is a gift from Miss Chu!" Li Die persuaded from the side very thoughtfully.

Fan Yun had no reason to refuse, so she took the scarf out of the gift box.

The scarf given to her was the same as the one given by Li Die, in the same deep purple hue, but at a glance, it was clear that Chu Ge had put a lot of effort into weaving this scarf. I don't know how many times better than her.

Especially the patterns she weaves are simple yet dignified, which fits her temperament very well at first glance.After seeing it, she couldn't put it down, and she couldn't put it down, and her face was unconsciously filled with joy.

Li Die was just putting on a show and wanted to show her magnanimity, but when she saw that Chu Gezhi's scarf was much prettier than her own, she wanted to slap herself. Why is she so talkative? Find it yourself!

The mother's expression said everything. It seemed that she liked the scarf Chu Ge gave her very much.

Seeing his mother's completely natural expression, Leng Xize turned his head and smiled at Chu Ge.

Really depressed!Originally, I went to the shopping mall by myself that day and wanted to pick out some special New Year gifts for the two elders, but I couldn't pick one after a long time.But I accidentally discovered that Chu Ge and Li Xiaoran were also shopping in the mall together, and I overheard them chatting and said that they were shopping for the elders, so I followed them.

Watching her buy a few rolls of high-quality wool yarn in a high-end wool store, she also bought a few rolls according to what she bought.Originally, he wanted to deliver it before her, and she let her lose face, but he didn't want to be the one who lost face in the end.

Thinking of this, she couldn't swallow this breath.Why is Chu Ge better than her in everything?
"I wonder if Miss Chu can cook?" Li Die looked at Chu Ge and asked.

"A little bit." Chu Ge replied very modestly.

"In traditional China, daughters-in-law have to cook New Year's Eve dinner for their parents-in-law. I wonder if Ms. Chu is interested in helping me in the kitchen?" Li Die suggested.

"Okay." Chu Ge thought that there was nothing to do sitting here anyway, so he might as well help out in the kitchen and eat early.

The two came to the kitchen together.The servants are busy preparing the dishes for the evening.

"I don't know what Miss Chu will do?" Li Die looked at her and asked.

"It's all okay, but they are not proficient in it." Chu Ge said again.

So Li Die walked up to the person who was in charge of the kitchen, exchanged a few words with him, learned about the dishes tonight, then walked over and said to her, "Well, let's cook a dish by ourselves, what do you think?"

"I'm not very good at doing it. Why don't you do it? I'll just do odd jobs." Chu Ge had already heard the meaning of competing with her in her words, so he said.

Chu Ge's words sounded in Li Die's ears, thinking that she was guilty, and she didn't want to let go of this chance to win her: "Didn't I just say that as the daughter-in-law of the Leng family, no matter how well you do, as for you Cook one or two dishes, this can be regarded as a little gift to the second elder."

Chu Ge thought about it, and felt that it would not matter to cook one or two dishes, "Okay, then let me see what dishes are available, and I will pick a simple one to cook."

Seeing that Chu Ge finally agreed, Li Die secretly felt complacent. She had just been outcompeted by Chu Ge, and this time she had to show off whatever she said!
The two of them each chose a dish and started to get busy.

Li Die chose French foie gras, but Chu Ge chose the most common mapo tofu.

When Li Die knew what Chu Ge was cooking, she couldn't help but sneer at her.Only someone from a low-income family like her can cook such cheap dishes!
Li Die seemed to be sure of winning, and he seemed to be so handy in making foie gras.

On the other hand, Chu Ge was calm and calm from the beginning to the end. From minced meat to various accessories, she personally did everything.

After a while, both of them finished their dishes.The servants brought the dishes made by the two of them to the table along with other dishes.

This time, she didn't believe that she couldn't beat her!Li Die walked out of the kitchen confidently.

Several other people were already seated at the dining table.

"Xiaodie, what dishes did you cook?" Fan Yun asked as she watched Li Die come out of the kitchen.

"Let's not talk about it, just guess!" Li Die deliberately pretended to be mysterious.

Leng Xize could tell at a glance that the mapo tofu was made by Chu Ge.Because when he was in the country, what he saw was the same as what is on the table now.

Fan Yun scanned the table, but she didn't see any dish that looked like her cooking, so she guessed a dish based on her intuition, but Li Die shook her head.

"I have a suggestion." Leng Xize spoke.

"Xize, what suggestion do you have?" Fan Yun became interested in his words.

"Wouldn't it be more interesting to let them reveal the answer after the meal?" Leng Xize proposed.

Sounds pretty good.Fan Yun nodded.Leng Zuohao was not interested, he picked up his chopsticks, "Okay, let's stop talking, let's eat!"

Hearing what he said, the others picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Fan Yun looked around, then set her sights on the plate of Mapo Tofu.This dish is very attractive to her both in terms of color and aroma. It must be delicious at first glance. It looks like a simple dish, but it actually takes a little effort to make it delicious. It should be made by Li Die right?
Thinking of this, she extended her chopsticks to the plate of Mapo Tofu.

After taking a bite in her mouth, the tenderness of tofu mixed with a thick sesame oil filled her whole sense of taste.

"Grandpa, try this!" Fan Yun said, and poured some into Leng Zuohao's bowl with a spoon.

Seeing the two of them eating the mapo tofu made by Chu Ge so happily, and seeing the foie gras he made, but no one cared about it, Li Die was very angry.

"Honey, try your own cooking. If you don't try it, you won't have a chance to eat it." Leng Xize said, using the small spoon in front of him to put some mapo tofu into Chu Ge's bowl.

Fan Yun stopped when she heard what her son said: "Is Mapo Tofu made by Chu Ge?"

"Yes, it seems that you have already used your actual actions to prove whose cooking you prefer." Leng Xize said, and he put the last bit of mapo tofu into his own bowl.

Fan Yun put down her chopsticks and glanced at Li Die who looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to react.

Li Die was ashamed and annoyed, and she still couldn't get angry. She had nowhere to vent her pent-up anger, but she could only smile: "It's okay."

"Actually, the old man and I have bad teeth recently, so we like to eat softer food. Don't take it too seriously, Xiaodie." Fan Yun was still thinking of a remedy.

Hearing what she said, Li Die felt even more ashamed.

"I'm going to see if the chicken soup stewed in the kitchen is ready." Li Die blushed for a while, stood up quickly, and ran to the kitchen.

Really angry, why every time I want to win her, but in the end, I am the one who loses?
Li Die angrily lifted the lid of the soup pot, accidentally scalding her fingers.

It's really frustrating, now even this broken pot is going to find fault with her!Li Die stretched out her scalded hand under the faucet and rinsed it.

At this moment, Chu Ge also walked in. She searched the spice rack for a while and took out the vinegar.In the past few days, she has been craving something sour.

Because of this, in front of Leng Xize's parents, she was embarrassed to ask the servant to help her get the vinegar, so she had to come and get it by herself.

Li Die stared at her from behind, a thought suddenly occupied her mind.

She first poured the soup in the pot into a large ceramic soup bowl, then found an anti-scalding cloth and carefully picked up the soup bowl, then walked towards Chu Ge...
