Chapter 29 Xiao Chen Visits

Chapter 29 Xiao Chen comes to visit

Although she had been living in the farm for the past three years, she thought she could not rely solely on her family to earn a living, so she used the private money saved by the original owner for many years to open a small restaurant in the city and named it Fireworks Kitchen.

At first, Lin Shuran only wanted to earn some money quietly. Who would have thought that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alleys. The Pyrotechnic Kitchen opened in the back street gradually became famous in the capital for its specialty roast chicken with sauce. Now it has become famous.

One of the three major restaurants in Beijing.

When Pyrotechnic Kitchen first became popular, many people were secretly interested in it and wanted to know who its owner was. But later, nothing was done about it. Lin Shuran knew in her heart that her ancient father Lin Youxing was behind it.

After working hard, and with the support of the imperial master, no one dared to cause trouble for the restaurant easily.

As long as the portrait is given to the boss of Pyrotechnic Kitchen, he will have a way to help Lin Shuran find the person.

Sure enough, by the next day, the boss of Pyrotechnic Kitchen helped Lin Shuran find out the news, but he never expected that the little tiger that Xu Minghao mentioned would now be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Miss, the big shopkeeper said that he found out from a jailer of the Penal Department prison who often went to the kitchen to eat. He said that this little tiger might be related to the murder case of an official from the Ministry of Personnel, and he was an important prisoner caught by the Penal Department.

"Chunxi conveyed the big shopkeeper's words to Lin Shuran.

How is it related to the murder case? Lin Shuran was puzzled. According to Xu Minghao, this little tiger was about the same age as him. He had been begging in the capital for several years. He was usually very timid and was always bullied.

Although she already knew the whereabouts of Xiao Huzi, the specific situation was still unclear. Lin Shuran thought about finding out more about it before talking to Xu Minghao, but she didn't expect that when noon was approaching, the current Minister of Justice, Xiao Chen, came to ask for an audience.

"Miss, the general sent someone in the front yard to send a message, saying that Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Punishment, has some official business and wants to ask you, have you seen him?" Aunt Zhang asked a little cautiously. She is an elder of the Lin family, so she naturally knows Lin Shuran and Xiao.

Chen and Chen have known each other since childhood. If Xiao Chen hadn't married a young lady from the Sima family, her young lady might have become Mrs. Xiao.

As soon as he knew that Xiao Huzi was in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Chen, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, came to the door. Lin Shuran was not afraid to see Xiao Chen. Even if the two could not become husband and wife, they could still be considered friends.

Lin Shuran's "Master Xiao" seemed to be intended to distance the two people, which made Xiao Chen very sad. In fact, since the death of his friend Gu Jingcheng three years ago, Lin Shuran looked at everyone with strange and distant eyes.

, just like her heart and soul left with Gu Jingcheng.

It is true that he came to the General's Mansion today for official business, but he also wanted to use official business to see her. They had not spoken for a year.

"I've met Mr. Xiao!" Lin Shuran could hardly ignore Xiao Chen's fiery gaze at her, but she still bowed politely.

"I don't know, what is Mr. Xiao looking for my wife for?" Xu Junze asked lightly, but Xiao Chen and Lin Shuran both looked at him slightly. The words "my wife" were clearly spoken by Xu Junze normally, but

Xiao Chen felt bitter after hearing this, and Lin Shuran felt a little surprised, as if these words were not something Xu Junze would say.

His love for her is no less than Gu Jingcheng's love for her, but she has only had Gu Jingcheng in her eyes since she was a child. She thought he would have a chance after his friend passed away, but this chance was ruined by himself. A year ago, he was killed by Su

Jia Design had to marry Su Wanwan as his wife, and now Lin Shuran has become someone else's wife.

So she came to the reception hall in the front yard. When she walked in, Xu Junze and Xiao Chen were sitting there as a host and a guest. The two of them were quietly sipping tea, and no one spoke.

Today, Xiao Chen is dressed in official uniform, which makes his already slender and straight figure even more majestic and heroic. His face is as cold as usual, giving people the feeling that it is difficult to get close.

Lin Shuran's words were unreasonable, but Xiao Chen knew in his heart that she was getting more and more estranged from him. He glanced at Xu Junze who was sitting calmly, and then Xiao Chen turned around and sat down again.

He regretted it, regretted it very much. Even at this moment, he wanted to pull Lin Shuran away and tell her that he only loved her in his life, but his reason made him calm down and endure it, telling him that he could not do that.

Xiao Chen calmed down for a moment, then looked at Xu Junze with a serious tone and replied: "I came here today to ask about the death of the youngest daughter of Luo Wenxuan, the doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"

Xiao Chen's words made Xu Junze frown. He had never deliberately inquired about Lin Shuran, but he also knew that Lin Xiao and the Gu family were family friends. As the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, it was not unusual for Xiao Chen to know Lin Shuran.

Xu Junze didn't care that Xiao Chen looked at his newlywed wife affectionately, but looked at Lin Shuran with the same concentration. He saw her walking past Xiao Chen in front of him, and then sat on the chair that symbolized the hostess.

He came down and faced Xiao Chen and said calmly: "Master Xiao, what are you talking about? I have reported that the Minister of Punishment has official business and wants to see me. I know that Master Xiao always distinguishes between public and private matters and is rigorous in handling affairs. I dare not break your rules."

But Xiao Chen was different. When he noticed Lin Shuran coming in, his body tensed up unnaturally and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. His eyes had complicated emotions and deep affection.

"Are you blaming me for being so polite to me now?" But Xiao Chen slowly stood up and took a step closer to Lin Shuran, looking at her closely.

All in all, she and Xiao Chen have not seen each other for more than a year. She is not the original owner. She only has memories of Xiao Chen in her mind, but she has no feelings.

Xiao Chen deliberately said the words "Sister Shu Ran" in an intimate and natural way, as if this could offset the impact of Xu Junze's words "my wife" to him.

"Since it is a business matter, Mr. Xiao might as well call my wife Mrs. Xu. Bad rules are not Mr. Xiao's style!" Xu Junze's words gave people an invisible pressure. If others were in front of him, they might be afraid.

But Xiao Chen is also a person who has been through mountains of swords and seas of blood, and he does not lose his momentum in front of Xu Junze.

Therefore, he instead glanced at Lin Shuran with gentle eyes, then turned to Xu Junze and said: "Sister Shu Ran and I have known each other since childhood, and our relationship is unmatched by others. To me, she has never been within the rules."

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Justice, to be such a sweet-tempered person. However, Mr. Xiao needs to be careful about what he says in the future. After all, you have a family. Don't cause trouble to others at will. You still have to follow the rules!"

In the last sentence, Xu Junze's tone was obviously more serious and he meant something.
