Chapter 322: Fire and Fear
Chapter 322: Fire and Fear
Shen Guiling didn't count on her originally, so she went to the Private Kitchen Noodle Restaurant and placed the order directly.
"Shen Guiling, if we don't have noodles, we should have a glass of strawberry juice, right?"
Is this like inviting an ancestor into the family?
Shen Guiling turned and went into the kitchen. After a while, he heard the sound of a juicer. After a while, he came out with a glass of strawberry juice and a glass of orange juice.
Jiang Huashan took the strawberry juice and took a sip through the straw. Shen Guiling sat down on the sofa next to him and casually picked up a copy of The History of the Bai Family's Madness.
"Are you also interested in the Bai royal family?" Jiang Huashan asked casually.
Shen Guiling shook his head, "Not interested."
He just watched her intently and followed her to pass the time.
Jiang Huashan bit her straw and sighed, "You said the Bai family is so perverted, will it be dangerous for Grandpa to go to S country?"
Shen Guiling knew that she was worried about Shen Zhuang. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the TV.
The local news station was replaying the talks between the two countries from a few days ago.
As the host, the Queen attended the meeting with all members of the royal family. It was Princess Bellaman who spoke on behalf of the Queen in the camera.
Jiang Huashan's eyes lit up. In her previous life, her mind was full of how to get into the Shen family tree, and later it became how to please Shen Lanxi. She had never paid attention to the international situation at all. She didn't expect that the Queen's family was so good-looking.
They all have fair and delicate skin, and those who don’t know would think they have vampire blood.
The atmosphere of the meeting was serious. The camera flashed among the royal members. Jiang Huashan stared at the silver-haired boy in the royal military uniform in the stands.
"Why is there a silver-haired guy? Does the royal family also cosplay?"
Shen Guiling turned around and looked, and the camera just cut away.
Jiang Huashan couldn't say what was strange. Looking through the information in her hand, she saw that the silver-haired man must be a core member of the royal family. Judging from his age, he should be the Prince Baimi who committed treason and cremated his father.
He actually has silver hair in such an important occasion. It seems that even the princess can't control this kid's temper.
The camera shook again and turned to the representative of Country A.
As a special guest, Shen Zhuang sat in the guest seat, and Shen Qingyu sat behind Shen Zhuang in a well-ironed suit. Foreign media reporters seemed to have a special preference for Shen Qingyu, and the camera switched to his perspective several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Qingyu obviously sensed it as well, and he glanced at her with raised eyebrows, his eyes unrestrained yet walking on the boundary, as if he was at ease.
Jiang Huashan clicked his tongue and shook his head, "I didn't expect Shen Qingyu to be so handsome on camera."
Shen Guiling glanced at it and skipped over the topic. "The talks between the two countries went very smoothly. After the meeting, the Queen specially hosted a banquet at the White Palace and invited Grandpa to dinner. To express the friendship between the two countries, the Queen also presented a pair of royal elephants as a historical testimony to the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"Restore diplomatic relations?"
Fu Suier had mentioned before that the Queen of Country S had blocked diplomatic relations with Country A because of Prince Bai Chen's death in battle, but unexpectedly, history had broken the ice.
Was there such a plot in the previous life?
How come she has no memory at all?
From the looks of it, Grandpa shouldn't be in danger for the time being.
Seeing her interest, Shen Guiling continued, "The significance of this restoration of diplomatic relations is different. Country A has already accepted a number of international investments from Country S. At the same time, Country S has also opened up several monopoly resource industries to Country A. In the next ten years, the two countries will see mutual penetration through commercial investment."
Jiang Huashan touched his chin. Since the peace talks happened at this plot point, they must have a purpose. What plot were they paving the way for?
"Ding-dong-"
At this time, the doorbell rang outside.
Jiang Huashan pretended not to hear and lowered her head to look at the information. Shen Guiling got up and opened the door.
"Hello, your takeaway."
"Thank you."
Shen Guiling took the takeaway and went straight to the kitchen. When he was unpacking it, he found that the label on the takeaway box was pasted upside down. He paused for a moment, put the takeaway back into the bag, and then called Mo Ran.
"Master A Ling."
"Check what Yao Yongwei is doing?"
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ran called again two minutes later.
"Master, I'm truly sorry. It's my fault. They put a needle in your takeout. Yao Yongwei is desperate and wants to use such despicable means to intimidate you. Master, do you need me to tell Mr. about this?"
Shen Guiling threw the takeaway food into the trash can and interrupted her, "Assistant Mo, your vacation is over. Please come over now..."
"Shen Guiling!!! Are you cooking noodles in here?"
Shen Guiling lowered her voice, "Assistant Mo, remember to buy noodles."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Guiling walked out of the kitchen as if nothing had happened, "The takeaway food spilled."
"Huh?" Jiang Huashan put down the information in his hand. "Then what should we eat?"
Shen Guiling glanced towards the kitchen and asked, "Shall I boil an egg for you first?"
"..." Jiang Huashan touched her belly, weakly, "Okay, then hurry up."
Shen Guiling returned to the kitchen and stared at the stove for a moment. Then, she skillfully took down the steamer, filled it with water, and put it on the shelf...
When it was time to light the gas stove, he slowed down his movements, pressed his fingers on the valve of the gas stove and turned it slowly.
"call out--"
The flame suddenly popped up and was reflected in the dark eyes.
"Xiao Ling, go away! Go away! Leave me alone, just go away!"
The man knelt down and screamed across the sky of flames, "I was wrong, I was wrong! Please don't hurt my child, please let him go! He is innocent!"

On the other side, Jiang Huashan waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement in the kitchen, which felt a little strange.
"Shen Guiling?"
She stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to check on the situation when Shen Guiling came out first.
"Yes." He took Jiang Huashan's hand and put the boiled egg into her palm, "Eat it."
The warmth of the egg had obviously been cooled, and it was just right to hold in the palm of your hand.
Jiang Huashan looked down at her palm, and for some reason she suddenly felt an inexplicable weirdness. She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Guiling carefully, "Are you okay?"
"Ding-dong-"
At this time, the doorbell rang again. Shen Guiling glanced at her and turned to open the door.
"Young Master, Miss Jiang." In a blink of an eye, Mo Ran walked into the house carrying large and small bags of fresh produce.
Shen Guiling nodded, took off his coat and looked back at Jiang Huashan, "Ask Assistant Mo to make you whatever you want to eat. I'm going to work." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Jiang Huashan looked at the egg in her hand and sat back down.
Mo Ran, "Miss Jiang, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat now."
Jiang Huashan knocked the egg and began to peel it carefully. "It's okay, take your time. I'll eat an egg first."
Mo Ran was the type who complimented someone without any real merit. "Miss Jiang, you can even boil eggs. That's amazing."
Jiang Huashan knew that Mo Ran was trying to show goodwill, so she curled her lips and said, "No, your young master cooked it."
Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, "Master A Ling?"
Jiang Huashan looked up, pretending to be confused, "What's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Mo Ran smiled awkwardly, "Nothing, just a little unexpected. Master A Ling doesn't usually use open flames."
Jiang Huashan's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently took a bite of the smooth egg, "Is that so?"
Mo Ran didn't want to say more. He picked up his things and prepared to go to the kitchen. Jiang Huashan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you usually cook for Shen Guiling?"
"Young Master doesn't like to confuse public and private matters, so most of the time he orders takeout for himself."
Jiang Huashan swallowed half an egg in one gulp, then stood up and walked into the kitchen.
As soon as I walked in, I saw broken eggs all over the floor under the refrigerator, and an intact takeout meal in the trash can in the lower right corner.
"..."
