Surrender II

It was past noon when we returned to City K, Zhuo Yue ate some casually, and while watching TV, he received a call from his adoptive father, asking him about Zhuo Hai's situation.Ever since his adoptive father Zhuo Qing was pursued by loan sharks, he moved to the countryside with his adoptive mother.After Fang Mingyan moved to transfer the debt, Zhuo Yue once offered to take them back to live in K City, but they refused, saying that the air in the countryside is good and life is more comfortable.Zhuo Yue will send them living expenses every month, which is enough for their daily needs.The two elders are now out of debt and living a leisurely pastoral life. Recently, they rented a farm house and opened a B&B. The business is good.The only thing that worried them was Zhuo Hai.The kid lost contact with his family two months ago, and he is still missing.

Zhuo Yue comforted her for a while, and promised to try her best to help find her.After putting down his phone, he leaned on the sofa and frowned and sighed.He never told his adoptive parents what happened that day. They were too old to bear such a blow.He has hatred for Zhuo Hai.This younger brother once pushed him to hell with his own hands, made him struggle in pain and despair, and made his life worse than death.If it weren't for Fang Mingyan, he might have been completely ruined at this moment.He didn't want to go to Zhuo Hai, didn't want to see him again, but he didn't want to worry the elders, this kind of contradictory psychology made him very entangled.

Before he could come up with a result, the driver Fang Mingyan sent to pick him up was already waiting downstairs.

When Zhuo Yue stepped into Hanguan No. 15, Zhou Chi was waiting at the door, smiling and leaning forward, "Young Master Zhuo, welcome back."

Zhuo Yue was slightly taken aback by this different greeting than usual, and then smiled.Before Fang Mingyan came back, he washed his hands and planned to help in the kitchen.The private chef Lao Zhao and the maid Xiaomei were busy in the stove, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly stopped him from touching him.

"I'm also a star chef anyway, so I can't trouble myself with this job." Old Zhao, who is slightly fat and kind with a round belly, asked with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Zhuo, what kind of flavor do you usually like?" vegetable?"

"I prefer the taste of Sichuan cuisine."

"I didn't see it, you have quite a strong taste." He said with a laugh, "That's right, if you don't have a strong taste, you won't be with the young master anymore."

Seeing that Zhuo Yue's face turned red, Xiaomei glared at the fat chef and said, "Hurry up and do it. When the guests arrive, if the dishes haven't been served yet, the young master will not deduct your salary!"

"Got it." Old Zhao winked secretly at Zhuo Yue and said, "I'll cook boiled fish for you tonight, and add more peppers so that they can't even eat it."

Zhuo Yue couldn't help laughing.

He sensed that something was different in this room.When he lived here before, no one would welcome him back, no one would tease him, no one would smooth things over for him.Zhou Chi and the others only treated him like a guest, although they were polite and respectful, they were also distant and unapproachable.But now they seem to accept him with open arms, giving him a kind of family-like warmth.

Fang Mingyan came back with the guests.After entering the door, he embraced Zhuo Yue who was waiting at the entrance without hesitation and kissed him, before turning around to entertain his guests: "You can do whatever you want."

Zhuo Yue's face was hot, and she lowered her head to greet the guests one by one.

He knew all these people.Chu Yu and Xu Ye, Sima Jun and Xia Ran, and Qin Mu who was left alone was holding a thick folder.

When Xu Ye saw Zhuo Yue, he went over to talk to him, but unexpectedly, Chu Yu hooked him by the back of the neck, gave him a warning look, and immediately froze.

Sima Jun smiled from the side: "Xu Ye, you spent all your time trying to plot against the lion before. It's good that a guy like him who will pay you back didn't settle accounts with you. How dare you provoke other people's weeds?"

"I'm making fun of helping others. Zhuo Yue is my friend, so of course I want to help him..."

"Oh?" Fang Mingyan glanced at him leisurely, "Why do I remember that my good friend who was manipulated by you and sent to the stage was almost disfigured by that red whip?"

Xu Ye choked, and asked boldly: "Who told you not to go up at that time?"

"You dig a hole for me, it's my fault if you don't fall down." The man joked, "Aren't you afraid that one day I'll dig a hole for you on a whim?"

"He will definitely not be able to hide from the hole you dug. But with me pulling him, he won't fall too badly." Chu Yu had a faint smile in his eyes, "He did it rough last time. , but for the sake of the good results, don't bother with him."

Fang Mingyan laughed: "Do you think I'm so narrow-minded? It seems that I need to adjust my personality."

Several people sat down talking and laughing.The man glanced at the bright red boiled fish on the table, then raised his eyes to see Zhuo Yue who was pouring wine for the guests, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.He has always had a light taste, and there are rarely such strong Sichuan dishes on the table on weekdays.Who is Lao Zhao cooking for today? It's obvious.

Zhuo Yue met his eyes, her face was flushed red, and the corners of her lips curled up.
