Chapter Fifty-six Dinner

  In the late afternoon, Mo Yunli went out to buy vegetables. She didn't plan to let Ye Ming go with her, after all, Ye Ming was able to stay and protect her, which already made her feel grateful in her heart. She wasn't that kind of woman who was never satisfied, she knew some things couldn't be overdone.

  But Ye Ming followed him out. If it were before, with his understanding of Mo Yunli, he knew that a woman with this kind of mind would not usually get into trouble.

  But after knowing about Mo Yunli and Lian Sen's affair, Ye Ming knew that this kind of deep-seated hatred would not be avoided by even the most rational woman. After all, Mo Yunli was just a small ordinary urban manager, while Lian Sen was the young master of a large family, and the gap between them was too great.

  Moyun Li was deeply grateful in her heart, but she didn't say a word of gratitude. She just remained silent and walked shoulder to shoulder with Yeming.

  To the west of You Ran apartment, there was a bustling city, especially near evening, many office workers went home from work and bought food to cook, so when Ye Ming and Mo Yunli came here, it was already crowded with people, noisy and chaotic.

  "What's to eat?" Mo Yunli suddenly asked.

  "Whatever." Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders.

  Mo Yunli thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and walked towards an uncle selling clams.

  "Uncle, how much for the clams?" Mo Yunli reached out and picked one up, seeing that they were all alive, she asked.

  "Ten yuan for two catties."

  "I want two catties."

  Ye Ming just followed behind Mo Yunli, not making a sound. The old man selling clams would occasionally glance at Ye Ming and then look back at Mo Yunli, as if comparing something.

  Ye Ming and Mo Yunli of course knew what he was comparing, but both of them remained silent.

  For Ye Ming, up to now, the only woman he cares about is Wang Qingya. Even if he has had ambiguous relationships with other women, they are just that - ambiguous.

  As for what Moyun Li was thinking in her heart, Ye Ming didn't know and he also didn't have the mind to guess these things. The reason he protected her was only because of their friendship, and after returning to Qing Jing, they naturally wouldn't always be entangled together.

  After buying clams, Mo Yunli bought some more vegetables. This woman seemed to be in high spirits, her face was flushed red all the time, and with her stunning looks, passersby couldn't help but stare.

  "Let's go back!" Mo Yunli carried a bag of vegetables, and some sweat seeped out from her forehead.

  Ye Ming smiled and took most of it, walking straight towards the You Ran apartment.

  Back at Mo Yunli's home, Ye Ming plopped down on the sofa and started watching the news. Mo Yunli didn't say much either, just like a housewife, put on an apron, and began washing and stir-frying vegetables.

  Half an hour later, the aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen, Ye Ming's spirit was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw Mo Yunli carrying a dish out of the kitchen. On the white plate, there were square sticky objects arranged on it, covered with dark brown sauce, which seemed to be braised eggplant.

  Ye Ming's index finger moved greatly, and he hurriedly ran to the dinner table, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

  "Be careful of the burn." Mo Yunli gave Ye Ming a reproachful look.

  Ye Ming didn't care at all, after swallowing, he ate three more pieces in a row, and then stretched out his thumb, nodded and praised: "The outside is crispy, the inside is tender, the salty and light flavors are just right, the color, fragrance and taste are all complete, I have to say, you can go to a five-star hotel to be a chef."

  "Sharp tongue."

  Mo Yunli knew that Ye Ming was exaggerating, but she was still extremely happy in her heart. After all, this dinner was considered a reward for Ye Ming's protection of herself. If it didn't suit Ye Ming's taste, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

  What Ye Ming said was indeed a bit exaggerated, but it can't be denied that Mo Yunli's dishes are really good. If there is any difference, it might be that those star-rated hotels would have all sorts of ingredients, while Mo Yunli here only uses ordinary household materials.

  Six dishes and one soup were done in half an hour, and they tasted great. It's clear that Mo Yunli often cooks for herself.

  "It's been three years since I last cooked, and this is the first time I've done it after coming out. It feels a bit unfamiliar." Mo Yunli opened a bottle of red wine, pouring some for Ye Ming as she spoke.

  Ye Ming smiled at Mo Yunli, "You're so beautiful, haven't you encountered some unpleasant things in prison?"

  "Of course I have."

  Mo Yunli coldly smiled and said: "I entered a women's prison, inside there were many people who had been locked up for a long time, their minds became twisted. Seeing my beautiful appearance, some wanted to scratch my face bit by bit, some wanted to dig out my eyeballs, some wanted to break my limbs."

  "There were also those men guarding the prison who wanted to bully me, but all of this, Yu Wan had already paved the way for me. After a long time, those guys also knew better and didn't bother me again."

  These words were spoken calmly by Mo Yunli, but anyone could feel the anger, hatred and deep fear that was mixed in her tone.

  Before entering the prison, Mo Yunli was just an ordinary woman. To say nothing of women, even men have an instinctive fear of police stations and prisons, places where criminals are kept.

  After entering the prison, Mo Yunli worried not only about Lian Sen's pursuit of killing, but also about the so-called "big brothers" and "big sisters" in the prison, as well as the prison guards.

  "After what happened to Lian Sen, I also thought of taking my own life. After all, in this world, I no longer have any close relatives, and not many friends either. I didn't want to implicate them because of my affairs."

  Mo Yunli pursed her lips and said calmly: "But each time, I was discovered by the people sent by Ruo Wan, so I couldn't succeed."

  "Hehe, now that I think about it, I really need to thank Ruo Wan properly. It's because of her that I was able to get through the most painful days from then until now."

  Ye Ming picked up a high-footed cup and took a sip of red wine, asking: "Lin Ruohua, are there people in prison too?"

  "Well, after I went in, she had already helped me tidy up everything." Mo Yunli nodded.

  "Is it something that can be done just because one has money?" Ye Ming swirled the red wine in his cup and said calmly.

  Mo Yunli slightly raised her head, and due to drinking, her face was a bit red. Under the light, she looked even more enchanting and charming.

  "What you said is right. If Ruo Wan has a lot of money, then Lian Jia won't be any less. If it's just about using money, then Lian Jia can also be bought off." Mo Yun Li said ambiguously.

  Although he didn't ask clearly, Ye Ming had already guessed that Lin Ruohua must have a remarkable background in the government. After all, even the Lian family couldn't get their way, and this move was sharp enough to be at least at the provincial level.

  Of course, the probability of provincial officials is very small. It's possible that someone in the central government, and a powerful one at that, is behind this young person who owns Qingli International, a multinational listed company!
