"That being the case, then the two of us should get along well in the future!"
"Ah?" After hearing what Li Qiang said, Axiang couldn't help but froze on the spot.
In the end, Ming Jing broke the awkwardness by saying, "You kid, what happened today? Didn't you hear what A Qiang just said? From today on, he will live in our house! Don't be stunned, hurry up and sort out one
Help him put his luggage in the room!"
It was only then that Axiang came back to her senses, "Ah? Oh, okay, Miss, I'll go right away!"
However, just when she was about to turn around and clean up the room, Ming Jing's voice rang again, "By the way, Ah Xiang! Where is Mingtai? It's too rude to even come out to say hello to someone at home, isn't it?
?”
"Little...young master, he..." Axiang lowered her head and said softly while twiddling her fingers.
"Hmph! I knew it! He must have gone out to play with his classmates again, right?"
Axiang nodded gently, "I'm sorry, young lady, I saw that the young master was really uncomfortable staying at home, so...but the young master promised me before leaving that he would definitely come back before dinner."
After hearing this, Ming Jing deliberately made a serious face and said angrily: "Come back before dinner? Then tell me, when did he do what he said and come back on time? That means you believe him so much every time!"
"Miss, I..."
"Okay, okay, I know you feel sorry for Mingtai and are afraid that he will be bored at home. Oh, let's not talk about him anymore. Is dinner ready?"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Xiang immediately blushed, "It should be... almost there! I... I'll make another call to remind you."
"Axiang, don't blame me for nagging. Our Ming family has such a big business, we can't eat rice every day, right? If this spreads out, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh to death?"
"Miss, I...I have been studying very hard. Give me three more...no, give me another month and a half and I will definitely learn to cook!"
By the end, Axiang's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Li Qiang on the side was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. Who would have thought that the dignified chairman of Mingshi Enterprise could only order takeout every day?
Perhaps seeing the doubts in Li Qiang's heart, Ming Jing deliberately lowered his voice and said to him after Axiang left: "Aqiang, as you can see, since the Japanese invaded Shanghai, all the servants in the family have been scattered.
, I ran and ran, and in the end, in the huge Ming family, only Axiang was left."
Speaking of this, Ming Jing couldn't help but sigh, and said with emotion: "In today's complicated situation, although our Ming family can still barely gain a foothold in Shanghai, our business and influence have long since declined. Otherwise, No. 76
How dare those guys bully us?"
Seeing that Ming Jing was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Li Qiang quickly changed the subject, "Sister, I won't mention the troublesome things, but the Mingtai you just mentioned, I have heard Brother Mingtang mention this more than once.
Could it be that the name belongs to my second uncle..."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Jing couldn't help but look dim, as if he was caught in some bad memories, and even the circles under his eyes were faintly red.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine! Ah Qiang, please sit down first and I'll tell you slowly." Ming Jing took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes. He pulled Li Qiang to sit down next to the sofa and recalled: "You guys
In the fifth year after the family left Shanghai, my father became so angry that he fell ill due to Wang Fu's scheme, and he passed away not long after that. From then on, I took over the Ming family business."
Hearing this, Li Qiang quickly figured it out, "That's not right, eldest sister. Why do I remember that you had just turned twelve when our family left Shanghai? Then when you took over the Ming family..."
"Yes, I had just celebrated my seventeenth birthday at that time."
Ming Jing's voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be of great importance and weight. Li Qiang couldn't help but admire him after hearing it.
It is hard to imagine what kind of pressure and difficulties a cardamom girl who should be cared for in every possible way has to face when she has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking charge of the family business.
But at this moment, Ming Jing suddenly changed the subject, and his words were instantly filled with anger and hatred, "In the second year after I took over the Ming family, once I went to discuss business with your brother Minglou, and we walked to
On Masnan Road, a car suddenly accelerated and hit us. Due to the suddenness of the incident, we had no time to react, but at this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab and hit us.
He was pushed out, but he was knocked far away and died on the spot."
"Sister, if my guess is correct, the person who pushed you and Brother Minglou out should be Mingtai's mother, right?"
"How did you know?" Ming Jing asked in surprise.
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang pointed to the portrait of a woman hanging in the center of a prominent place on the wall of the living room.
Ming Jing then nodded with relief, "Yes, after her accident, she left behind a child who was only four or five years old. In order to repay her for saving her life, your brother Minglou and I decided to keep him by our side.
While taking care of him growing up, I helped him find his relatives, but more than ten years have passed and there is still no progress..."
Speaking of the emotional part, Ming Jing's eyes became uncontrollably moist again.
Li Qiang quickly comforted: "Sister, don't be too sad. After all, you have tried your best to do everything you can. If it doesn't work, just leave this matter to me. After all, when it comes to the efficiency of finding people,
The police station is much higher than the newspaper office."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Jing's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Really? That really helped me a lot!"
"Sister, we are all a family, shouldn't we help each other?"
"You are right, but I still want to thank you, because this thank you is what I say to you on behalf of Mingtai."
"Okay! Since the eldest sister says so, I will accept it."
Just as he was talking, Axiang, who had already packed the room, came over and said to Mingjing: "Miss, Brother Aqiang's room has been packed and all the luggage has been put in."
"Okay!" Ming Jing nodded, then looked up at the time, "It's already this time, why haven't the rice packages been delivered yet? Ah Xiang, call Rongshun Hall and ask them what's going on.
?”
"Yes, Miss."
However, when the time was short, Axiang put down the phone and said: "Miss, the shopkeeper of Rongshun Hall said that when their clerk was preparing to go out with the food box, a group of guys No. 76 suddenly came to the store, so
That’s why it hasn’t been delivered for a long time.”
"It's No. 76 again? Why are they everywhere? They are really haunting! Let's do this. Just call back and say there is no need to send it. As for the meal, I will pay for it." After that, Der Spiegel said.
He turned around and said to Li Qiang very apologetically, "It seems we are going to be hungry tonight."
Li Qiang smiled without thinking, "Don't worry, eldest sister. As long as I'm here, I guarantee that no one will be hungry! Sister Axiang, do you have any other ingredients at home?"
"There should be a piece of pork and six or seven eggs in the refrigerator!" Axiang replied.
"That's enough! Sister, today I will show off my skills and let you try authentic Northeastern cuisine!"
