juniper immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes. I also feel that it's such a coincidence. However, how could that be possible? I am only a servant of the family, and my relatives are mostly ordinary people. How could there be relatives' children who would come to such a high-end occasion? Maybe I was wrong, maybe it was my fault! "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, but I won't ask any further."
Seeing juniper suddenly retreat, He Shen Zhou suddenly spoke out: "The lady that came with Jian Qing is called Dai Niu, does juniper know his?"
The word "Dai Niu" made juniper's entire body tremble violently, as if he had been electrocuted.
He Shen Zhou and Wen Jian Qing clearly saw the surprise and joy on juniper's face, as well as the unease that followed it.
"I don't know him, I don't know him!" juniper panicked as she replied, "I was looking at the wrong person. "Sorry, Second Young Master, I still have some things to do in the kitchen, I'll go back first!"
Zhan Yi Cong also noticed that something was amiss, but he kept guarding He Shen Zhou and Wen Jian Qing, so he could not ask too much.
Just as juniper was about to leave, Wen Jian Qing suddenly opened his mouth: "juniper, we haven't eaten our fill outside just now. I wonder if you could prepare some food for us? Since other people are busy, I can only trouble juniper. "
"Alright, alright. I'll go prepare it immediately." juniper left in a hurry.
Once the juniper left, Zhan Yi Cong looked at and Wen Jian Qing in confusion.
He Shen Zhou raised his hand and placed it on Zhan Yi Cong's shoulder, and said while gri
ing: "Senior Jie, looks like this trip of ours has not been in vain!"
"What do you mean?" Zhan Yi Cong asked in puzzlement: "What kind of riddle did you two play?"
He Shen Zhou and Wen Jian Qing looked at each other and laughed, but did not explain, and only said: "You will know in a while."
Sure enough, after a while, juniper sent some snacks and afternoon tea into the room.
Once juniper left, Wen Jian Qing immediately gave Niu Niu some confidence and got her to come over.
Niu Niu did not know why Wen Jian Qing was looking for her, but hearing his tone, he seemed to be in a hurry, so she left Yu Yu Mo and rushed over.
Upon entering the room, Niu Niu saw Zhan Yi Cong, He Shen Zhou and the others who were sitting at the side. She immediately nodded at Zhan Yi Cong: "Second Young Master Zhan!"
Zhan Yi Cong immediately said: "No need to be so polite, please take a seat! Today, the house is so busy that I didn't have time to chat with you all. Come, come, come, have a taste of the snacks and afternoon tea made at home. This is the craftsmanship of an old chef with ten years of work experience in our family. "
Seeing the food in front of her, she suspiciously looked at Wen Jian Qing: "You called me over, just so I can eat some snacks?"
Of course Wen Jian Qing would not admit it, he replied: "No, we are currently discussing the final interview with Senior Jie Jie Jie with the students of the Second High School. You are also one of the question setters, so we wanted to have a chat with you."
Perfectly explaining the past!
As expected, Niuniu didn't doubt them at all. She nodded and sat to the side, listening to their conversation.
So, Zhan Yi Cong and Wen Jian Qing started to pretend to be talking about the Ruihe Aristocrat Academy's interview.
At first, Niuniu was still listening, but it sounded a bit tiring. Coincidentally, the dessert in front of her was tantalizing, Niuniu hadn't had a proper meal in the afternoon, so she was really hungry by now. She didn't stand on ceremony with them, instead taking a bite from the dessert in front of her.
The dim sum dissolved in his mouth.
Niuniu was about to swallow it when she suddenly froze!
She took another bite almost instantly, and then another.
In a moment, she had eaten three pastries.
This taste... This taste...
Niu Niu suddenly stood up, her fingers were trembling and her voice was a bit shaky, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "Who made this dessert?" I've never had such a delicious dessert. I wonder if I could get to know this highly skilled chef? "
Seeing Niu Niu's reaction, what else did Wen Jian Qing and the others not understand?
Niuniu had already eaten it.
Even if they had separated for ten years, they would still be able to taste the flavor of their mother.
Wen Jian Qing immediately nodded towards Zhan Yi Cong.
Zhan Yi Cong immediately had his men invite the juniper back.
The moment the door opened, that familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, "Second Young Master, what do you need?"
Niu Niu suddenly turned her head, and looked at the person at the door who was wearing the Zhan Family maid uniform, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The top of Niuniu's head was like rolling thunder, blowing through her entire body.
It shocked her so much that she could no longer hear what was being said or what was being done.
The memories from ten years ago appeared in his mind once more.
The image of her mother leaving her was like what had happened yesterday, clear and deep.
The room was silent.
The juniper did not wait for Zhan Yi Cong's reply and slowly raised his head.
The moment his gaze landed on Niu Niu's face, juniper's originally calm and collected look disappeared in an instant. As if she was struck by lightning, she stood there, unmoving. The two looked very similar, so smart like Niu Niu, they recognized each other very quickly.
Ten years. A whole ten years.
Wen Jian Qing sighed, he slowly stood up and patted Niu Niu's shoulders, and said to Zhan Yi Cong: "Senior, I heard that you took a painting of the Zhengpo Bridge in your study, I am very interested in it, would you mind appreciating it?"
Zhan Yi Cong was clever, he immediately understood the overtone of Wen Jian Qing's question, and laughed: "Your ears are sharp, I've said it well, even if you want to see, you are not allowed to fight with me, I spent 20 million to snatch it away from someone else!"
He Shen Zhou immediately laughed: "Don't worry, we are only here to take a look."
Zhan Yi Cong pretended not to notice as he said to the juniper, "Miss Dai is very interested in your dessert production. You all can continue chatting here. juniper, please do not treat our esteemed guests lightly. "
"Yes, Second Young Master." juniper replied with his head bowed.
Zhan Yi Cong immediately brought He Shen Zhou and and left the room, leaving the space for Niu Niu and juniper.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the room.
juniper was still the same as before, but Niu Niu had already grown into a big girl from a little girl of seven years old.
Niu Niu stood in front of juniper just like that, looking at her without saying anything for a long time.
juniper also stood there silently as she looked at Niu Niu with tears in his eyes. The two of them had not seen each other for ten years, but she didn't know what to say now.
Was he asking her why she abandoned him that year?
Or ask her how she's been all these years?
Or was she supposed to ask her why she was a maid in the Zhan Family?
Or ask why she didn't come looking for him?
Is there any point in asking these questions?
Niu Niu wiped the tears on her face and pretended to be relaxed. "I suddenly thought of something. I can find it anywhere with my broken shoes. It won't take me any effort."
