ninety two
On a stormy night, in a luxurious villa, three slim and elegant girls sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV.
Occasionally, they would laugh at the content of the programs on TV, and occasionally they would frown and discuss the gossip reports of the movie stars. The three of them would talk non-stop.
"Menglan, don't you think Xingyun is being pretentious? The last time we saw her on the streets, she was a shrew, but on TV, she put on the image of a young lady.”Yi Lianqian made a vomiting gesture.
"Anyway, she's not your idol. Why do you care if she's a young lady?”A faint smile hung on Hua Menglan's beautiful face.
"I just don't like her."
"Even if you don't like her, you have to look at her. She just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress last week. She's simply a sexy stunner. Not only does she have a good figure, but her acting skills are also great! I think it won't be a problem for her to be popular for a few more years. Besides, which female celebrity has ever made you like her? There's none at all. The ones you admire are all handsome men, idols, and male celebrities. As long as they're female, they're all within the scope of your ban.”Liu Xichen pursed his lips.
"I didn't." Yi Lianqian's face did not turn red and she did not even gasp for breath as she defended herself," Those women are too pretentious. They are one in private and another on television. Who would admire such a woman!”
" Ha…" Hua Menglan yawned.
Liu Xichen scoffed.
"The two of you are too much." Yi Lianqian was so angry that she almost stomped her feet. She was ready to unleash her invincible psychic power.
Suddenly, a short knock on the door interrupted her excitement.
"Someone is knocking on the door…"
The three of them looked at each other. None of them dared to take a step forward.
In the cold night, the cold wind was accompanied by a drizzle. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the atmosphere was quite scary.
"Who is it?" Liu Xichen shouted at the top of his voice.
However, the only response she got was the cold wind and the rain.
"Do you want to open the door?" Yi Lianqian, who was the most timid of the three, shivered.
"No one answered. Could it be that we misheard? Perhaps it's the sound of the wind.”
"Menglan is right. We must have heard wrongly.”
The wind and rain outside the house made the three of them think that they had heard wrongly and had a false alarm.
"I think we should go to bed early. We still have to get up early tomorrow.”Hua Menglan suggested.
"That's good too. We'll only have the capital to play if we recuperate enough.”
The two nodded in agreement.
Yi Lianqian stretched her back and followed behind Hua Menglan and Liu Xichen, preparing to go upstairs to sleep.
Knock, knock, knock!
Instantly, the three of them stopped in their tracks.
"Save me…Save me…"
"Did you hear that?" Liu Xichen shivered.
"Someone is really talking!" Yi Lianqian had goosebumps all over her body.
"What should we do?" Liu Xichen looked at Hua Menglan, who was the steadiest among the three of them.
"Save me…Save me…"
"There's really someone! And she's shouting to save me. What should I do? " Could it be…" Yi Lianqian's voice trembled in fear." Could it be that we met…that person?"”
"Nonsense! Let's go and see who's playing tricks and making us panic.”Hua Menglan took a deep breath and mustered her courage to walk forward.
The three of them walked to the door in fear.
"Who's outside?" Hua Menglan said calmly.
" Save…me... save me…"
The intermittent cries for help entered the three people's ears. Hua Menglan opened the door without hesitation. What entered the three people's eyes was a woman lying in a pool of blood.
The timid Yi Lianqian screamed in fear.
Screams pierced through the bleak night…
Year 2002
The signboard of " Zhiqin Beauty Design Studio " was hung in a building in downtown Taibei. The storefront was designed with a transparent glass curtain, allowing people to see the interior of the studio at a glance.
The first floor was about 30 square meters, and the shelf space on the right-hand side contained many neatly arranged beauty products. Behind the-shaped bar was a bar counter with crystal cups and coffee cups of different sizes.
There was a round table and three round chairs in front of the "" shaped table. After the guests had enjoyed the most comfortable beauty and skincare, the boss would personally serve the tea she brewed for the guests to drink and chat about the recent situation, making the guests feel at home.
On the left was the cashier. The spiral escalator that led to the second floor was accompanied by gentle music from the moment they stepped on the stairs to the last step. The soft voice was played through the loudspeaker. The Japanese design was elegant and comfortable.
In order to make the guests feel natural and unrestrained, the boss put a lot of effort into the decoration.
Yan Zhiqin's beautiful lips curled into a smile. Her bright eyes scanned the studio that had just been completed. She nodded in satisfaction, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Hu! We can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”Hua Menglan brushed her shoulder-length hair and her eyes shone with joy.
"That's right. We've already spent a lot of energy and time decorating this studio. Now that we've finished decorating it, the huge stone in our hearts has finally been lifted.”Yi Lianqian, a pretty short-haired lady, raised her hand as she spoke, stretching her muscles and bones, and started exercising.
"Zhiqin's idea is really great. At first, I thought she was just joking. With the ability of the four of us, how could we decorate a shop that is more than 30 square meters beautifully? However, the studio that appeared in front of me made me have no choice but to believe in the ability of the four of us.”Liu Xichen said proudly.
She dotingly hugged a ten-year-old boy." Do you like this place, Canjie?”
"I like it because this is the masterpiece of my mother and godmothers.”Can Jie smiled innocently.
He left Liu Xichen's embrace and burrowed into Yan Zhiqin's arms." Mommy, hug me."”
Yan Zhiqin opened her arms wide and pulled Canjie into her embrace." How old are you? You still need your mother to carry you. Aren't you ashamed?”She gently tapped Can Jie's nose.
In order to prepare for the studio, she had spent a lot of energy and time. It had been a long time since she had spoken to her son.
"Mom, you've been very busy recently and don't have time to accompany me. You should be free today, right?”He asked in the tone of an adult.
"You little brat, as long as you get the chance, you will only pester your mother.”Yan Zhiqin rubbed Canjie's soft hair. Although this child was only ten years old, he was quite smart. He knew everything as soon as he was taught, so she didn't have to worry about him.
"Who taught you to ignore me for so long?" Can Jie pouted unhappily.
"You little rascal, how dare you speak to an adult in such a tone? Tell me, who taught you this?”Yi Lianqian placed her hands on her hips and glared at Can Jie fiercely.
"Godmother Lianqian, your hag look won't scare me.”Can Jie sneered. His innocent eyes revealed a strange look.
He didn't look like a ten-year-old child at all. His mind was mature and he looked like an adult.
"I really don't know who he inherited his shrewd personality from. Could it be that he inherited it from his father?”Yi Lianqian said suspiciously. She did not realize that when she said this, the expressions of four people changed at the same time.
Especially Canjie, he stared worriedly at Yan Zhiqin's increasingly pale face.
"Lian Qian!" Liu Xichen wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Yi Lianqian's outspoken personality never thought of the consequences! "Aren't you going out to buy lunch?" she asked with a frown. Hurry up and go. We're starving.”
Yan Zhiqin was a friend that she had met when she, Yi Lianqian, and Hua Menglan had gone to the central region to play.
Hua Menglan's hometown was in Taichung, and they had arranged a tour of Taiwan. At that time, the itinerary was arranged to be in Taichung, so she and Yi Lianqian moved into Hua Menglan's hometown and had fun in Taichung for a few days.
In those few days, Hua Menglan took them to play almost all over Taichung. The night before they returned to Taibei, there was a thunderstorm. They originally planned to play all night, but because the rain was too heavy, they canceled their original plan. The three of them obediently stayed in the villa, eating snacks and watching TV.
He didn't expect that they would know Yan Zhiqin because of this.
All along, Canjie's father was a sensitive topic between them. As long as the words " biological father " were mentioned, Yan Zhiqin's mood would fall to rock bottom and she would lose all her energy.
Therefore, Canjie's father had always been one of the topics that they avoided talking about.
"Ya! I forgot that it's already noon. I'm going out to buy lunch. Little brat, do you want to go with Godmother Lianqian?”She glanced at Can Jie.
"No, I want to stay by Mommy's side.”Because he knew that the person Lian Qian's godmother had unintentionally mentioned had already made his mother's mood plummet. He wanted to accompany her and comfort her.
"Then stay here and accompany your mother.”
"Yes." His childish face was filled with worry. He was young, but he had a delicate heart.
The endless stream of customers made the four lady bosses so busy that they almost couldn't breathe.
It was only the first day of business, but two of the four people had already surrendered and were lying on the sofa to rest. The sign outside the door had already been hung.
" Phew…I'm so tired…" Yi Lian massaged her aching arm.
She was really busy today and was about to die!
"I'm so hungry!" Liu Xichen hugged his growling stomach as he lay on the sofa, looking exhausted.
After living for more than twenty years, today was the most tiring day of work. It was simply unbearable!
"Look at the two of you. It's only the first day of business, and you're already so tired. It can be seen that you're usually too comfortable.”Hua Menglan brought four cups of cold drinks and handed them to the other three. She took one for herself.
" Menglan, since you're not tired, please go and buy us some lunchboxes. I'm starving..." Liu Xichen placed his hopes on Hua Menglan.
Hua Menglan laughed coldly." You want me to run errands? No way."”
Liu Xichen couldn't help but complain, but he was immediately interrupted.
"Stop shouting. Canjie will send the food over later.”
"Really?"
"And he personally cooked it.”
"Awesome!" Yi Lianqian's eyes lit up when she heard that Can Jie was going to cook personally.
It had been a long time since she had tasted Canjie's culinary skills. Speaking of Canjie, he was simply a genius child. At the age of ten, he had already mastered superb culinary skills, and he was better than the four of them.
Back then, she and Liu Xichen had only taught Can Jie how to cook for fun. Who would have thought that they would actually nurture a genius chef? It was really like a student surpassing his master.
"Mom, godmothers, I've brought lunch over.”Can Jie was holding a basket filled with delicious food.
"Canjie, you're really the godmothers 'little savior. Come, quickly bring it over. What did you cook for us to eat?”The moment they opened the basket, the dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious were presented to them. Liu Xichen was so touched that he burst into tears.
She didn't care about her image as she picked up her chopsticks and began to attack. Her mouth kept saying that it was delicious.
"Godmother Xichen, eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you.”Can Jie covered his mouth and snickered.
The way Liu Xichen was wolfing down the food was simply impossible to associate with her delicate and pretty face.
"Zhiqin, I think we should leave our dinner to Canjie.”Yi Lianqian's whimsical thoughts were for the sake of eating. She nudged Liu Xichen with her elbow and blinked her crafty eyes to hint at him.
In order to have a delicious dinner in the future, Liu Xichen quickly agreed." Canjie's cooking is so good that no one outside can compare to him. If I can have such delicious dinners in the future, I'm willing to work even if it's tiring."”
"You wish. Jie isn't your slave.”
"Menglan, don't you want to taste Canjie's cooking every day?”He did not know what was wrong with this woman. She always liked to go against the rules and act all serious.
"Even if I want to, I don't dare to ask for too much. Others will say that we abuse child labor, and it's a ten-year-old child.”
"As long as Zhiqin agrees, it's fine. You don't care what others think, right Zhiqin?”Yan Zhiqin did not say a word from the beginning to the end. She was really quiet. If it were her, she would not even be able to stand a minute of silence. She would not have waited until now.
"I have no objections. As long as Canjie agrees, it's fine.”In fact, she also wanted to eat the dishes cooked by her son.
To be honest, his culinary skills were really not for show.
Liu Xichen and Yi Lianqian stared at Can Jie with pleading eyes.
" Of course, I'm fine with it, but…" Can Jie smiled meaningfully. Other than Yan Zhiqin, the other three knew the meaning behind his smile.
"Of course not." Yi Lianqian agreed in one breath and nodded her head generously.
"Don't worry, we will definitely support you.”Liu Xichen promised.
Hua Menglan stood at the side with her arms crossed.
It seemed that 'someone' was going to be betrayed.
"What kind of riddles are you talking about?" Yan Zhiqin was confused.
"Oh, it's like this. Canjie came to discuss with us yesterday. He wants to go to a one-month summer camp with He Hui.”He Hui was Yi Lianqian's nephew and was around fifteen years old.
Summer Camp! Yan Zhiqin looked at Canjie in surprise. Canjie nodded. Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Zhiqin interrupted him.
"No, I won't agree." Yan Zhiqin put on a serious face.
"Mom…I won't do anything stupid. Let me participate!”Can Jie smiled like an angel and acted coquettishly to his mother.
"No means no!" She insisted on her own thoughts and there was no room for negotiation.
"How old are you? You're actually going to participate in a month-long summer camp? You've never left my side since we were young. How can I let you participate alone?”
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm not alone. Brother He Hui will take care of me.”Can Jie planned to deal with his mother until she agreed." Don't you think so, godmother Lian Qian?”
"Zhiqin, don't worry about this little guy's ability to survive. He's a hundred times stronger than you. Now that he has the chance to learn, just let him go. Don't worry, your son is a genius.”Yi Lianqian received Can Jie's distress signal and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
" You can't say that. After all, he's only ten years old. He doesn't know anything yet..."
"Since Canjie wants to go out and see the world, you might as well let him go. Besides, Canjie's brain is not proportional to his age at all. He is more careful and careful than you, his mother.”Hua Menglan also tried to persuade him.
"Even you agree?" Wasn't Hua Menglan the one who liked to go against Yi Lianqian and the others? Now, she was actually standing on the same side as Yi Lianqian and the others. It was truly inconceivable.
"I'm just talking about the facts, and I'm standing in a neutral position.”
"This…"
"Mom, I promise you that I will call you every night after I go there.”
" But…" Parents would definitely be worried. Yan Zhiqin wanted to stop him, but four pairs of pleading eyes were staring at her, and her heart softened.
"Alright, but I have one condition.”she said frankly.
"As long as I participate, anything can be discussed.”
Did this sound like something a ten-year-old child would say?
"When you go out with He Hui, you must be obedient and don't cause any trouble. Otherwise…"
"Yes, I know. The food is cold. Mom, hurry up and eat!”Can Jie picked up his chopsticks, picked up Yan Zhiqin's favorite dish, and stuffed it into her mouth.
" You child, why don't you let me finish speaking…" Yan Zhiqin shook her head helplessly. This child was spoiled by her three good friends.
"I'm doing this for your own good. After working all day, how can you not eat something nutritious?”After the deal was made, Canjie looked like a little adult as he scolded Yan Zhiqin.
Yi Lianqian burst out laughing, her laughter reverberating throughout the room." I feel that Canjie is more like your mother, caring about you every day…" Her words were more of a joke.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!”
Yan Zhiqin rolled her eyes. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:45AM
