After coming out of the Ling family villa, Ling Anxiu stuffed the family owner's token into her handbag.
She did not move into the Ziyuan Villa provided by Ling Guojiang, nor did she immediately go to the Ling Group to take control of the situation.
She just took Ye Fan to the vegetable market.
Butler Ling and others followed him, not far or near to protect Ling Anxiu.
Ling Anxiu wanted to say something, but thinking of the other party's kindness, she could only drop the topic.
"Do you know why I'm here?"
On the way, Ling Anxiu held Ye Fan's arm and smiled softly at Ye Fan:
"It's because the smell of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea here allows me to feel the breath of life up close."
"There have been too many changes today, and we have gained too much. Justice, status, and wealth are all available at once."
"I feel like my heart is getting restless."
"This is not a good thing."
"So I have to go through the arduous journey of the past ten years before I float."
Ling Anxiu told Ye Fan without hiding her inner changes: "Otherwise, the position of president will destroy me."
It took her ten years to withstand the transformation from a genius girl to a street rat.
Naturally, it will take some time to buffer the transition from a street rat to the president of Ling's family.
"Mr. Ling, you are indeed not simple."
Ye Fan heard this and showed a hint of appreciation for Ling Anxiu: "This kind of mentality is rare."
"I don't allow you to call me Mr. Ling or Miss Ling."
Ling Anxiu raised her head and glanced at Ye Fan: "You can call me Xiuxiu."
Ye Fan smiled: "I'd better call you Anxiu."
He felt that Xiu Xiu was too close.
"I'm going to cry it out for the rest of my life!"
Ling Anxiu squeezed out a sentence, her cheeks felt hot, and then she changed the topic:
"I often go to Stall No. 7 to pick up leftover vegetables after the market closes. This can save me several dollars."
"Every time I pick up vegetables, I find a lot of fresh ones. I thought it was good luck at first, but later I found out that the boss did it intentionally."
"She hides a few bunches of fresh green vegetables every day, and when the market closes, she takes them out and throws them in the discarded box."
"Although the proprietress of Meat Stall No. 11 is a bigot, she is a very nice person. Every time I buy meat, she always gives me an extra piece of fat or bone."
"This allows me to save some oil when cooking or make some bone soup for Feifei to drink."
"I also killed fish for three months at stall No. 18. I didn't have much money, but the boss allowed me to take the freshly dead fish home to eat every day."
"Sometimes if there is no dead fish, she will deliberately kill it and throw it to me."
"My life has been very difficult in the past ten years, but there is always a glimmer of hope in my heart, thanks to their kind help."
"So every time I feel desperate or can't survive anymore, I will come here for a walk."
"The impact was too great today, and I need to come here to calm down."
Ling Anxiu took Ye Fan's arm and introduced him to everyone in the vegetable market.
Looking at the shouting vendors, the haggling customers, and the noisy scene, Ye Fan also felt a little more at peace.
He also seemed to have returned to the busy days of Zhonghai.
"Anxiu, I'm glad you have such a calm mind."
Ye Fan whispered to the woman next to him: "It seems that choosing you again is the most correct choice for Ling Guojiang."
"Actually, I know that he didn't ask me to be the president because of my abilities."
There was no pride on Ling Anxiu's face, and she still maintained her rationality: "But I want to use your momentum."
"No matter how talented I am, I haven't been involved in the Ling family's business for ten years. Any Ling family nephew is more qualified than me."
"But grandpa insisted on letting me take the position."
"There is no doubt that he believes that if I encounter a crisis or difficulty, you will help me without hesitation."
"Your martial arts skills are amazing, your medical skills are extraordinary, and the power behind you must be quite large."
"With your support, not only will nothing happen to the Ling family, it will only be better."
"I even think that grandpa has the intention of using you to arm-wrestle with the Yang family through me."
"The Yang family is now very powerful and wants to divide the world equally with the nine gambling kings. If the Ling family doesn't kneel down and compromise, the two sides will conflict sooner or later."
"The Ling family is weak and will suffer heavy losses if they fight to the death. Now that you are a tough opponent, it would be great to throw away the CEO position and reap the benefits."
Ling Anxiu was not familiar with the specific affairs of the Ling family, but she could still see through Ling Guojiang's intentions at a glance.
What a transparent woman.
Ye Fan looked at Ling Anxiu with admiration: "Then you are still willing to be this chess piece?"
"Not only will this put me in trouble, it will also put you in danger."
Ye Fan whispered: "Aren't you afraid of this bloody storm?"
"I'm afraid!"
Ling Anxiu murmured in a low voice: "It's just me..."
She was afraid of the bloody storm, but she was even more afraid of Ye Fan leaving.
"I suddenly felt that I was too selfish."
"I shouldn't be greedy for something and drag you into the water and take risks."
She looked up at Mark Ye: "I'll ask grandpa to resign as president tomorrow."
"Don't think so. It's not you who drags me into the water, it's me who wants to stir up the trouble."
Ye Fan shook the woman's hand and gave it warmth, his expression was indescribably sincere:
"I support you as the president, but I actually do so with selfish motives."
"In addition to hoping that you will regain your former glory, I also want to change the pattern of Hengcheng through you and the Ling family."
"I'm the one who dragged you into the water."
"So if you don't want to be the president in your heart, I will take you to find Mr. Ling to resign tomorrow."
"As for the dangers I will face in the future, you don't need to worry. I have always brought danger to the enemy."
Although Ye Fan believed that he could protect Ling Anxiu, he felt guilty for pushing her to the forefront.
"You are not afraid of danger, and neither am I."
Ling Anxiu grabbed Ye Fan's hand tightly and smiled: "If you choose the front, let us stay together through thick and thin."
Ye Fan didn't care about danger, so what did she, Ling Anxiu, have to fear?
Even if I die in the future, having such a memory is enough.
An hour later, Ling Anxiu and Ye Fan bought a lot of ingredients.
Butler Ling, who had been following behind, helped them carry the ingredients back to 701.
Seeing these people following her, Ling Anxiu frowned slightly:
"Butler Ling, you don't have to follow me. This will put a lot of pressure on me."
"I can take care of myself."
She didn't want Ling Guanjie and the others to interfere in her life.
Butler Ling said respectfully: "Miss Ling, the old man has ordered you to protect your safety."
"You have just come to power, and many people are watching you. If you don't protect yourself properly, the old man is afraid that you will be in danger."
He added: "If Miss Ling doesn't want us to follow her like this, we can turn to covert protection."
Ling Anxiu pursed her lips. She didn't like being stared at by others, but she also knew that Butler Ling and the others were doing it for her own good.
"Go back and tell Old Man Ling that you can follow Anxiu covertly and covertly to protect her safety when she goes to work or travels."
Ye Fan took over the topic: "But when you return to this community after get off work or at night, you no longer need protection."
"I'll take good care of her!"
"You can also take this opportunity to have a good rest."
"This way, we can have more energy to protect Anxiu's safety during the day."
Ye Fan also didn't want Ling's family to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day, which would make it inconvenient for him to move.
Butler Ling said respectfully: "Understood. With Young Master Ye's protection, we can rest assured."
Then, he put the ingredients in the kitchen and asked someone to bring him a bottle of red wine.
"This is the Lafite that the old man has treasured for many years. It is a little bit of my heart. Please enjoy it, Mr. Ye and Miss Ling."
He put the red wine on the table and left with everyone respectfully.
"Finally gone!"
Seeing Butler Ling and the others disappear, Ling Anxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and her discomfort disappeared.
Then she pulled Ye Fan in: "Let's go home."
Ye Fan was originally going to pick up Ye Feifei, but Ling Anxiu asked Ye Fan to send Feifei back tomorrow.
That night, Ling Anxiu didn't let Ye Fan interfere and insisted on cooking alone.
She made four dishes and one soup for Mark, and opened the bottle of red wine Ling Guojiang gave him.
As virtuous as ever.
The atmosphere was harmonious and the food was delicious. Ye Fan and the others not only drank all the red wine, but also ate all the food.
"Ye Fan, you drink tea and watch TV while I wash the dishes. Don't fight with me today, just let me take care of you."
After finishing the meal and drinking the red wine, Ling An smiled:
"I'm worried that I won't have a chance in the future."
Once you become the president of Ling's family, you may not have time to cook and wash dishes, so Ling Anxiu cherishes this time.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Fan stood up as he spoke, but suddenly his steps faltered and he felt dizzy.
This red wine is a low-alcohol wine. Under normal circumstances, he would not feel anything if he drank ten bottles, let alone one bottle.
Why are you dizzy now?
Ye Fan, who was holding the chair, had a thought, is there something wrong with the wine? But I didn't notice anything strange when I drank just now.
Besides, there was no reason for Ling Guojiang to poison himself.
"Ye Fan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Ye Fan shaking, Ling Anxiu subconsciously wanted to help Ye Fan.
But she was even more dizzy, and before she could take two steps, she fell forward.
Ye Fan instinctively hugged the woman who rushed over.
The two of them came into contact, their eyes locked, and their bodies felt hot.
Ling Anxiu's eyes were blurry: "Ye Fan!"
"Anxiu..."
Ye Fan wanted to push Ling Anxiu away.
Ling Anxiu was moved, but she hugged Ye Fan and refused to let go.
Invisible shortness of breath.
"Old man——"
Ye Fan glanced at the food and cursed angrily. It's too yin!
