Chapter 134 Moisturizing things silently
This time the window was closed.
Yang Zuoxian walked to the door and paused. The aroma of food wafted out of the house, but his feet seemed to have taken root.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with? Please come in!" A female voice as clear as a spring came from inside the room, calm and peaceful.
Yang Zuoxian, who originally wanted to leave, walked into the door for some unknown reason.
Mrs. Zhou was standing and Zhao Susu was sitting.
One pot of rice and two dishes.
The rice is white and the vegetables are fragrant.
Yang Zuoxian asked, "Where is your daughter?"
"She went out to play!" Zhao Susu asked, "Does the Fourth Young Master want to talk to me about something?"
Yang Zuoxian is fine.
He had Zhao Susu and her daughter placed under house arrest here, and even moved in himself, just waiting for the result from his father.
My father said that this mother and daughter could be used to blackmail the Luo family.
But he didn't quite believe it.
Even though Zhao Susu and the Luo brothers grew up together and had a deep brotherly love, a businessman might not be willing to exchange his entire fortune for a relative when it comes to profit.
What's more, as far as he knew, Zhao Susu was abducted when she was five years old and there has been no news since then.
There is not even a brother-sister relationship between them. The Luo family must be stupid to give so many things in exchange for her.
But he didn't dare to mention it because the decision was suggested by Yang Zhiyuan.
If he raised any objections, his father would not listen but would only scold him. Yang Zhiyuan would even be more wary of him and make things difficult for him.
If the Luo family does not agree to my father's conditions by then, what decision will my father make?
Maybe it's going to cost the lives of both mother and daughter.
Looking at Zhao Susu, who looked gentle, calm and at ease, he suddenly asked, "Aren't you worried about the safety of you and your daughter?"
Zhao Susu glanced at him and said, "Does the Fourth Young Master want to kill us? The Fourth Young Master is a businessman, and so am I. I think businessmen are generally very friendly and will not fight or kill. As long as the interests are agreed upon, it doesn't matter who we cooperate with."
Yang Zuoxian's heart moved: "Do you really think so? What if I ask you to cooperate with me, will you?"
"That depends on what the cooperation is about." Zhao Susu said with a smile: "I won't do anything like murder or arson."
Yang Zuoxian laughed when he heard this. Why would he want to cooperate with her when she was guilty of murder and arson?
His eyes glanced at the food on the table.
He was ordered by Yang Xiansheng not to go out for drinks and to stay in this villa and wait for news.
Originally, this was something that Yang Zuoxian could never do, but he did it. However, there was not a single servant in the entire villa who could cook good food.
Zhao Susu, who was good at cooking delicious food, was not a servant of this villa. She could do whatever she wanted. Even if he was thick-skinned, he would not be able to ask Zhao Susu, whom he had deceived, to be responsible for his meals.
So for yesterday's lunch, he only took one bite and then threw down his chopsticks. For yesterday's dinner, even though he was hungry, he only took two bites and couldn't eat any more.
It takes more than just courage to eat a bad meal after eating something delicious.
For breakfast today, Zhao Susu used some flour to make two pancakes, one for her and one for Meng Yu, and there were no extras.
It was time for lunch. Yang Zuoxian could hold on, but his stomach couldn't take it anymore.
He said, "Since we are discussing business, shouldn't we sit down and talk properly? Or, how about talking while eating?"
Zhao Susu smiled and said, "Please!"
Yang Zuoxian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
He picked up the chopsticks, and Zhao Susu hesitated: "This is for Ayu!"
"Didn't she go out to play and hasn't come back yet? Let's talk business. When she comes back, you can help her do it."
"That's fine!" Zhao Susu was relieved and said, "I don't have any wine here. The ingredients for these meals were also provided by you, the Fourth Young Master. I'm just offering you something by borrowing flowers from you to pay tribute to the Buddha!"
Yang Zuoxian was very graceful and quick as he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It was soft and springy, and the taste was delicious after one bite.
This is what people eat, so he immediately devoured it.
What he just said about cooperation seemed to be empty talk, because his mouth was never empty.
Zhao Susu didn't urge him, but just watched him eat with a smile.
Yang Zuoxian finished a large bowl of rice and most of the dishes. He finally felt the gnawing feeling in his stomach disappear. He raised his head and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
"I see that the Fourth Young Master is very hungry, and I'm afraid the portion is too small for you. Anyway, Ayu hasn't come back yet, so I'll make it later and we can eat together."
Yang Zuoxian paused.
He actually heard a sense of tolerance and consideration in Zhao Susu's smiling expression.
But he was a suspicious person, so he stopped, raised his eyes, and stared at Zhao Susu without blinking: "You don't eat a single bite, is there any poison in the food?"
Zhao Susu rolled her eyes: "Well, it's poisonous, don't eat it!"
Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to say anything. She glanced at him secretly and thought that the Fourth Young Master was really overthinking it. The mother and daughter were locked up in the yard, so where could they get the poison?
Besides, the food was prepared for him, but he ran over and took it, and he suspected that the food was poisonous! Besides, he had already eaten so much, it was too late to ask if it was poisonous, right?
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but look at Zhao Susu with some worry. The Fourth Young Master was very petty and would take someone's life for a small matter. Mrs. Zhao spoke so impolitely. If the Fourth Young Master got angry, she would suffer.
Zhao Susu took the small plate in front of her, picked up some of the three dishes, and ate slowly.
Yang Zuoxian's expression softened and he looked a little apologetic.
He knew that his question was very rude, but although Zhao Susu rebuked him, she responded with her actions. This made it seem that he was judging others by his own standards.
But he was thick-skinned, as if the hurtful words just now were not asked by him: "Since you don't want to eat it, don't waste it, I ate it all!"
After a meal, it was like a storm.
The food on the table was cleared away, but he still felt unsatisfied. The mother and daughter ate too little, and the combined portions of the two of them were only enough to make him eight-tenths full.
Putting down his chopsticks, he said to Mrs. Zhou, who seemed to have resentment in her eyes, "Put it away!"
Mrs. Zhou did not dare to refuse, so she collected the plates and bowls and left.
Yang Zuoxian, however, was still sitting there with his arms and legs spread wide open, picking his teeth with unsatisfied feeling.
Zhao Susu shook her head: "You don't care at all whether it will damage my reputation!"
As long as Mrs. Zhou was around, it wasn't like they were alone together. But now that Mrs. Zhou was gone, it wasn't a good look for a man and a woman to be alone together.
Yang Zuoxian raised his eyes: "Do you care about your reputation? Even if you are innocent!"
"I can't help it. The world is harsh on women. I have to be more careful to avoid getting into trouble." Zhao Susu said, "But I'm a businessman. I can be open-minded about some things. As you said, those who are innocent will be innocent."
Yang Zuoxian looked at her again. He really didn't expect that such a gentle and almost tender woman would say such free and easy words.
He suddenly said, "I'm not a businessman, I'm just a playboy. Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?"
