Ch 134: Zheng Xiao’s Red Line and Bottom Line

Lu Li hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Thick smoke billowed.

His first priority was to carry Zheng Xiao out and place her in the living room.

“Where are you hurt?”

Zheng Xiao shook her head.

Confirming that Zheng Xiao was really not injured, Lu Li turned around and ran back to the kitchen.

Turn off the heat.

Open the window.

Turn on the range hood.

Then he went to the utility room to get the vacuum cleaner and floor scrubber.

He also cleaned up all the fragments on the floor and put them outside the door with the other garbage.

All the movements were done in one go, without any panic.

Afterwards, he went to the bathroom to get a face towel and helped Zheng Xiao wipe the stains on her face and hands. This small disturbance was finally over.

Jiang Zao’s goodwill towards Lu Li rose sharply, and she added a lot of points to him in her heart.

“Just now that was… Xiao Xiao, were you cooking?”

Zheng Xiao nodded: “Yes, I want to learn.”

Jiang Zao asked: “Do you still remember when you burned your kitchen in junior high school, alarmed three fire trucks, and almost your entire villa was destroyed?”

Zheng Xiao refused to recall the past: “A good woman doesn’t mention her past achievements, this is one time and that is another.”

Jiang Zao was helpless, then looked at Lu Li: “Are you letting her make trouble?”

Lu Li brought brewed coffee to Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci.

“The withdrawal symptoms are quite severe. Miss Zheng needs to use other things to divert her attention. Learning to cook is quite good. There will always be a day when it will be useful, and she is also quite interested.” Lu Li explained.

Jiang Zao pointed to the battlefield that had just been cleaned up—the kitchen.

Asked: “Are you sure, learning to cook is quite good?”

Lu Li: “It was my fault just now. I went to the bathroom and answered a call from the hospital, so I didn’t take good care of her, which almost caused her to get hurt. It won’t happen next time.”

Zheng Xiao has visibly lost a lot of weight in the past two days.

She couldn’t help but yawn as soon as she was about to speak, and her eyes revealed a clear sense of irritability.

Lu Li directly brought two boxes.

One box is snacks.

One box is Lego.

The snacks are for Zheng Xiao to quit smoking.

The Lego is to help Zheng Xiao divert her attention and not think about drinking.

Jiang Zao didn’t expect Lu Li to really have a way to deal with Zheng Xiao.

Wouldn’t this be a case of one thing subduing another?

After sitting for a while, Jiang Zao began to bring up serious matters.

“The Police Station may use letting you meet with Zheng Qi as a condition to obtain Zheng Qi’s confession, so don’t answer any calls these two days, and don’t open the door if someone knocks. I have the key and know the password. I will come in by myself if I come.” Jiang Zao said.

Lu Li was very embarrassed: “I need to go to the hospital to take care of Huan Huan.”

Jiang Zao began to use her Money Power, “I have already spoken to Professor Chen, and he will pay attention to Huan Huan’s situation at all times. Moreover, he also introduced the best Caregiver to take care of leukemia patients. Don’t worry, Huan Huan will be fine these two days. You just need to take good care of Xiao Xiao and make sure that before Zheng Qi’s case goes to court, he will not come to harass Xiao Xiao and stimulate her condition.”

Hearing what Jiang Zao said, Lu Li felt that he had made a profit instead.

After all, the Caregiver personally introduced by Professor Chen must be problem-free.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Zao said: “I should be thanking you. You take good care of Xiao Xiao. I feel very relieved with you here.”

Zheng Xiao had a Lollipop in her mouth, this was already the third one.

She ate it a little fast, just like she used to smoke when she was upset, always one after another.

“I said, aren’t you annoyed by being so polite to each other? Isn’t it fake? If you keep being so pretentious, I’m going to start throwing up again. I won’t be responsible if the toilet gets clogged.” Zheng Xiao still spoke in that nonchalant, ruffian-like manner.

She was clearly a girl, and she looked very flamboyant and charming, but she had developed the energy that young masters wanted to seize by force.

Jiang Zao couldn’t help but smile, pointed at the Lego that Zheng Xiao was playing with, and asked in a teasing tone: “Didn’t you say before that this is something only idiots play with?”

◈◈◈

Zheng Xiao did not refute: “Don’t you think that I am no different from an idiot when I quit smoking and drinking?”

“Then you are still willing to quit?”

“Isn’t this all for him…” Zheng Xiao changed her words in time: “For his sister.”

Jiang Zao’s suspicious gaze wandered between the two, and suddenly felt that Lu Li might not be completely without a chance.

Lu Li sat on the ground, looking at the Lego that Zheng Xiao had placed randomly, and patiently corrected it.

“This is wrong, it should be placed here.”

He also picked up the drawing and showed it to Zheng Xiao.

Zheng Xiao curled her lips, did not refute, took down the Lego that she had just put on, and re-placed it according to the position Lu Li said.

This kind of ‘obedience’ is even more rare for the rebellious Zheng Xiao.

Jiang Zao even wanted to give Lu Li a thumbs up and manually give him a like.

Click!

Jiang Zao took a group photo of them.

She sent it to Zheng Xiao and Lu Li respectively.

Lu Li looked at the photo, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and casually said: “You would definitely be more well-behaved and better-looking if you had Black Hair.”

Jiang Zao raised her eyebrows.

The End.

This kid stepped on a landmine.

Sure enough, Zheng Xiao directly overturned all the Lego on the ground.

Lu Li was also pressed to the ground by her at the same time.

Her unruly eyes, the Lollipop in her mouth crunching, as if every bite was biting Lu Li’s bones.

Then she spat the Lollipop stick on the ground.

“Don’t fucking push your luck!”

“I gave you an inch and you really want to take a mile, you want to open a dye shop just because you have a little color? You’re just my assistant, did I tell you? Don’t touch my head, stop thinking about my hair!”

Jiang Zao pulled Zheng Xiao up and dragged her to the side.

“Okay, Lu Li has been patient with you. He even does the work of a nanny. He’s a grown man who doesn’t fight back or scold back. What else do you want? If things really get tense, you’ll be the one who regrets it.”

Didn’t she understand Zheng Xiao?

Her mouth is always faster than her brain.

Zheng Xiao stirred her tongue in her mouth, swallowed the remaining Candy, said nothing, and turned to go to the bedroom.

She slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’.

Fu Yanci also helped Lu Li up.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“Sister Xiao Xiao is really bad to you.”

“My Wife would never bully me like this.”

“I’m always the one on top of my Wife, my Wife wouldn’t…”

Jiang Zao hurriedly covered Fu Yanci’s mouth.

This kid, he only knows how to cause trouble here!

Jiang Zao looked at Lu Li and explained: “Hair is Xiao Xiao’s red line and bottom line. In the future, you should try to avoid the topic of that silver hair. Xiao Xiao is actually quite easy to get along with.”

Lu Li nodded, the hurt in his eyes was obvious.

But he didn’t defend himself, nor did he say a word of grievance, just silently began to clean up the Lego scattered all over the floor.

Zheng Xiao didn’t leave the bedroom until Jiang Zao left.

Jiang Zao looked back, sighed in her heart, and wondered when Xiao Xiao would be able to get out of the past and embrace a new life?

“Xiao Xiao has a quick temper. If something like this happens again, can I trouble you not to be impatient and not to leave?” Jiang Zao said to Lu Li at the door: “I know this request is very excessive, but, I know that in Xiao Xiao’s heart, you are no longer just an assistant.”

Lu Li: When will I be able to be on top of Xiao Xiao too? Just like Fu Three Years Old said…
