Chapter 123: Meng Po Soup with Laundry Detergent Flavor
On the Naihe Bridge, in front of Meng Po’s stall.
"Hmm? Why does this Meng Po soup smell like laundry detergent?"
"It's still Libai."
“Is this to cleanse our souls?”
The ghosts questioned Meng Po's soul-searching about her Meng Po soup.
"How could this be? I just made this, and I added some herbal remedies to it to reduce the odor." Meng Po frowned, scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth to taste it, and then spit it out: "It does smell like laundry detergent."
When I looked up, I saw Shen Xia Xia next to me with a snickering smile that was harder to suppress than AK.
"Xia Xia! Is this your fault?" Meng Po put her hands on her waist and shouted angrily, "You ruined my pot of soup."
"Who asked your lover to set a condom for me?" Shen Xia Xia crossed her arms over her chest: "Where is Cui Jue?"
Meng Po laughed twice: "The path I have walked most often is his routine. You can just go find him. Why are you teasing me?"
"You are the one he cares about the most. I can't find him, so I have to come to you." Shen Xia Xia said helplessly, "Besides, I am from the Yang world. With my identity as a ferryman, I can only go to the Naihe Bridge. I can't go any deeper."
As Meng Po started to boil the soup again, she said, "He appears and disappears mysteriously every day. Not to mention you, I rarely see him."
"He said that the New Year is coming soon, and he wants to meet some good friends."
Shen Xia Xia looked at the time and realized that she had been down there for an hour.
This is because he took advantage of his identity as a ferryman, otherwise he would have died of energy exhaustion long ago.
Unable to find Cui Jue, Shen Xia Xia had no choice but to return to the world of the living.
Before leaving, she suddenly remembered that Lu Jingchen was in poor health and needed some nourishment.
At least he must live for eight years.
"Hey Meng Po, do you have any kind of tonic soup here, the kind that replenishes the body? Lu Jingchen's body is weak, and the soups and medicines in the mortal world don't seem to have any effect on him."
They are all making soups, and the essence is the same. Meng Po usually likes to think about various soups, and she will add them to Meng Po soup.
Meng Po pulled Shen Xia Xia aside and said, "Don't tell me, it's true. I usually make it for Cui Jue to drink."
Meng Po used a clay pot to fill a can for Shen Xia Xia: "Take it. I guarantee that you will be full of energy and vigor after drinking it."
But what she didn't expect was that what Meng Po meant by nourishing the body and what she meant by nourishing the body were two completely different concepts.
Shen Xia Xia happily brought the clay pot soup back to the Lu family.
Today is the eve of the Chinese New Year, and the Lu family attaches great importance to these traditional holidays.
Lu Jingchen was not at home, saying that he had gone to visit his parents.
Under the leadership of Old Lady Lu, everyone was dressed festively.
There will be a feast tonight, and the Lu family's servants have been busy in the kitchen early.
Prepare the ingredients and cook the soup in advance.
The soup given by Meng Po was very thick and smelled bad. If she gave it directly to Lu Jingchen, he would definitely be rejected.
Shen Xia Xia had made some arrangements in the kitchen in advance and told the servants to make sure to give the bowl of soup to Lu Jingchen.
When we arrived at the dinner place, Lu Jingchen still hadn't come back.
The Lu family was waiting for two distinguished guests.
"President Xie, you are here! Why didn't you notify us in advance so that we could be prepared!" Lu Mingxue and Lu Jingchuan heard the news that Xie Jingheng was coming.
They all hurried out to greet them.
Xie Jingheng winked at the assistant next to him.
The assistant took the gifts down from the car.
Lu Mingxue took it politely and said, "It is our honor to have you here. Why are you bringing gifts? I am really sorry for troubling you."
Lu Jingchuan nodded and bowed all the way to lead Xie Jingheng to sit on the sofa in the living room: "You go first, we will have dinner soon."
Lu Mingyou came back from get off work and sat on the sofa to accompany Xie Jingheng.
Several people were almost trying to lift Xie Jingheng up.
Shen Xia Xia came out of the kitchen, saw Xie Jingheng in the living room, and turned around and wanted to leave.
Xie Jingheng stopped her and said, "Young Madam, do you dislike seeing me?"
He has figured out the meaning of moral blackmail.
Shen Xia Xia simply stopped hiding and walked over generously: "Hey, President Xie, are you coming out of Mingyi Technology's medical laboratory? I didn't recognize you for a moment."
"Shen Xiaxia, what are you talking about?" Lu Mingxue scolded, "Did we spoil you too much and make you disrespectful to President Xie?"
"It's really not presentable." Lu Jingchuan glanced at Shen Xia Xia.
Xie Jingheng raised his hand to signal them to stop talking.
Then he took out a box from his pocket, walked to Shen Xia Xia and handed it to her, whispering in her ear: "Happy New Year, little niece."
Shen Xia Xia took the box and based on past experience, it was not a good thing.
Chen Sisi started to eat melons: "Does President Xie like our Xia Xia? He even gave her a gift."
Ever since she saved Chen Sisi last time, Chen Sisi's attitude towards Shen Xia Xia has taken a 180-degree turn.
Now it’s all our Xia Xia.
"If Brother Jingchen gets to know about this, he'll probably go berserk again." Lu Yaohui still has lingering fears when he thinks of the last time Lu Jingchen and Xie Jingheng competed with each other.
"I hope Brother Jingchen doesn't come back so early." Lu Yaohui prayed silently.
"Masters and ladies!" The housekeeper ran in breathlessly, "Here comes the chief!"
Lu Mingxue stood up suddenly and asked: "Which CEO are you talking about?"
There are not many people with the surname Zhang in Wancheng, and everyone once suspected that this was a surname created by Zhang Yin himself.
Lu Jingchuan's heart skipped a beat as he waited for the butler's reply.
"That's the CEO of Mingyi Technology!" The butler was so excited that he could hardly speak.
When Lu Mingxue heard the name of Zhang Yin, his head buzzed. As a veteran in the business world, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
You know, the Palm Seal never attends private parties, let alone visits anyone.
There are only a handful of people who have seen the palm print.
Lu Jingchuan had been taught a lesson by the Palm Seal before, and now he both respects and fears the Palm Seal.
Hearing the name Zhangyin, I couldn't help but shiver, thinking back to those days in the desert and when I was hung up and beaten.
He is really afraid.
It was Lu Mingyou who reminded them: "Why don't you invite the president in?"
"No need to ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's slender legs stepped in.
The man was wearing a well-tailored grey suit and a silver mask over his eyes.
Every gesture and movement is dignified and handsome.
Lu Xueni and Lu Qinghe's love for Xie Jingheng quickly shifted to Zhang Yin.
"Is this the man in Wancheng who can make clouds with a flip of his hand and rain with a flip of his hand?"
"So handsome, this is the first time I see someone wearing a mask so handsomely."
The bodyguards behind him brought a bunch of gifts.
Compared with his, Xie Jingheng's gift still seemed a bit shabby.
Lu Yaohui looked at the two powerful men in Wancheng and couldn't help but say, "I think Brother Jingchen will be so angry when he comes back that he will stand up from his wheelchair."
Chen Sisi looked puzzled. "Isn't it strange? Jingchen was not angry at all about Zhang Yin giving gifts to Xia Xia. He even encouraged him. But he wanted to kill Xie Jingheng."
"Why do you think this is?"
