Chapter 345: Xu Zhizhou and Si Huashang look exactly alike!
Jiang Ning really likes to eat the peach blossom pastries made by Grandma Si.
and so.
Whenever she sees peach blossom pastries, she buys some to try.
The peach blossom pastries bought outside are nowhere near as good as the ones made by Grandma Si herself.
Either it's too sweet.
Or it's too cloying.
I finally found a place that wasn't too sweet or greasy, but it lacked that unique aroma.
During her time in the capital, she tried no fewer than a hundred pastry shops.
Not just in the capital.
Jiang Ning bought many peach blossom pastries in Hong Kong, City A, and other cities she visited.
But I just couldn't find the same flavor.
Available today.
Jiang Ning, however, tasted the same peach blossom pastry in a foreign land.
This gave her a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Tina looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile, "I didn't buy this peach blossom pastry."
"You didn't buy it?" Jiang Ning asked in disbelief. "Could it be that you made it yourself?"
“No,” Tina shook her head. “It was a gift from my wife, and she made this peach blossom pastry herself.”
lady?
Jiang Ning subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this.
She couldn't buy the same peach blossom pastry even in China.
This is P country, which is very far away!
"Excuse me, Miss Tina, I know this might be a bit presumptuous of me to ask this." Jiang Ning put down the peach blossom pastry in her hand, carefully considering her words. "Could you tell me how old your wife is this year, and what her name is?"
Tina was taken aback by Jiang Ning's question.
Even Yue Qianlan, who was standing to the side, was stunned.
Jiang Ning is not usually a talkative person, and she is even less interested in talking to people she doesn't know well.
Available today.
She seemed like a different person.
They're actually asking who made the peach blossom pastry!
This made Yue Qianlan realize that something was wrong.
Could it be that the peach blossom pastry is poisonous?
Jiang Ning is, after all, a doctor.
She can tell immediately whether there's something wrong with the peach blossom pastry.
Realizing the problem, Yue Qianlan immediately put down the peach blossom pastry in her hand and looked at Jiang Ning with a nervous expression.
Woo woo woo...
I hope she won't be poisoned to death in a foreign land!
Zelda and John exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Zelda had the same thought as Yue Qianlan and looked at Jiang Ning, asking, "Miss Jiang, is there something wrong with the peach blossom pastry?"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "Mrs. Zelda, you don't need to be nervous. The peach blossom pastry tastes very good, there's no problem. I'm just curious who made it."
Zelda breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Ning's answer.
Yue Qianlan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up another peach blossom pastry. "It's really delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious peach blossom pastry before."
If this were to open a shop in China, it would be absolutely packed with customers.
Zelda reached out and nudged Tina. "Tina! Miss Jiang is asking you a question. How old is your wife this year? What's her name?"
Although Jiang Ning's question was a bit strange.
But Jiang Ning was, after all, their family's benefactor!
At this point, Zelda would naturally help Jiang Ning ask the question.
Tina also realized what was happening at this moment. She turned her eyes slightly and met Jiang Ning's gaze: "Our lady is in her forties this year, I'm not sure exactly. She is also Chinese, and her name is Xu Zhizhou."
Tina's Mandarin is not very standard.
Jiang Ning wasn't sure which three words she was referring to.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Miss Tina, are you sure she made this peach blossom pastry herself?"
Tina nodded. "Of course I'm sure."
Although the names are different, Jiang Ning still wanted to find out everything: "Can you tell me where Mrs. Xu's ancestral home is?"
"It seems to be from L City."
Jiang Ning then asked, "Do you know who Mrs. Xu's relatives and friends are in Country P?"
Upon hearing this, a troubled look flashed across Tina's eyes.
She signed a confidentiality agreement while working at Zheng Family Castle.
There are some things she can't just say in public.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Jiang,” Tina hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth, “This involves my work. Because the castle I work in has connections with the royal family, all of our employees have received training and signed confidentiality agreements before joining the company.”
Jiang Ning nodded slightly in understanding, and after a moment, took out a photo she carried with her. "Miss Tina, have you seen this person before?"
The person in the photo is 26-year-old Si Huashang.
In the prime of life.
Upon seeing the young Si Huashang, a hint of shock flashed in Tina's lowered eyes.
Like.
so similar.
The person in the photo looks exactly like Xu Zhizhou!
The only difference is that Xu Zhizhou looks a bit older.
"What's the name of the person in the photo?" Tina asked Jiang Ning.
“She is my mother, Si Huashang. We have been separated for twenty years, and my family and I have been looking for her all this time.” As she said this, Jiang Ning picked up a peach blossom pastry. “To be honest, only my grandmother could make this peach blossom pastry.”
Tina frowned imperceptibly.
Si Huashang?
Xu Zhizhou!
They have different names, so they can't be the same person, right?
With a population of 14 billion, it's perfectly normal for people to look alike.
Most importantly, before she joined the company, the housekeeper had repeatedly warned her not to reveal Xu Zhizhou's appearance to anyone. She had just said so much about Xu Zhizhou, which violated the employee handbook.
After thinking it over, Tina shook her head. "I've never seen this person before."
never seen it.
A dark glint flashed clearly in Jiang Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes.
She parted her red lips slightly and continued, "Miss Tina, could you please ask Mrs. Xu if she knows Si Huashang?"
Her intuition told her that Madam Xu, whom Tina mentioned, must have some connection with Si Huashang.
“Sure.” Tina nodded. “It’s just asking a question, so of course there’s no problem.”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," Tina said with a smile.
Jiang Ning picked up another peach blossom pastry from the box and tasted it carefully.
That's right.
It tasted exactly the same; her sense of taste was not affected.
Tina looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Miss Jiang, if you like these peach blossom pastries, you can take them home with you."
"Thank you, Miss Tina. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Zelda smiled and said, "It's just some snacks, Miss Jiang, you saved Olivia's life!"
Tina said, "My sister is right."
soon.
The head chef then served the appetizers.
The entire serving process took two hours.
Everyone had a very pleasant chat for those two hours.
But Yue Qianlan could tell that Jiang Ning had been somewhat distracted.
After dinner.
The two said goodbye to Zelda's family.
Jiang Ning brought along the unfinished peach blossom pastries.
It was clearly a small pastry, but Jiang Ning felt it weighed more than ten million pounds.
and.
Ever since she ate the peach blossom pastry, she had a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
A bit stuffy.
feeling bad.
"Ningning," Yue Qianlan looked at Jiang Ning, "Is something on your mind?"
“Hmm,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “I think that Mrs. Xu might be related to my mother.”
Yue Qianlan then remembered something, "Oh right, you just said that only Grandma Si can make the same peach blossom pastry! My goodness, could that Mrs. Xu be my aunt?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Ning shook her head, her face deep in thought.
Yue Qianlan continued, "However, the probability that Madam Xu is your aunt is probably not high. If Madam Xu really is your aunt, then why would she suddenly change her name and not contact you for so many years?"
"I think the most likely possibility is that this Mrs. Xu was probably a friend of my aunt before, and it was my aunt who taught her how to make peach blossom pastries."
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Si Huashang hasn't contacted her family for so many years.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly: "March, I've decided not to go back tomorrow. Regardless of whether Madam Xu is my mother or not, I'm going to stay in P country to get to the bottom of this."
Since it concerned her mother, Jiang Ning didn't want to miss a single clue!
Even if the result is fruitless.
“Okay, Ningning,” Yue Qianlan nodded. “Then I’ll stay in P country with you. Anyway, I don’t have anything to do when I go back.”
"Ah."
The car was going very fast.
Twenty minutes later we arrived at the hotel entrance.
The car just stopped.
Someone then stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.
Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan got out of the car.
boom!
at the same time.
A grand fireworks display erupted in mid-air.
Then, colorful ribbons and rose petals fell from the sky.
"Welcome back to the hotel, Miss Shi!"
The sound was uniform and synchronized.
Vast and boundless!
Yue Qianlan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, only to find two rows of royal guards in uniform standing at the hotel entrance.
Both sides were filled with onlookers.
Although the main character hasn't appeared yet.
But Yue Qianlan could already guess what was going on!
Yue Qianlan reached out and tugged at Jiang Ning's sleeve, lowering her voice: "Ningning, is Will going to confess to you again?"
Jiang Ning frowned slightly. "Didn't I already explain everything to him?"
"Miss Shi," just then, Will walked out of the hotel entrance holding a large bouquet of roses. Unlike last time, this time the roses were made of gold and diamonds, sparkling under the lights. "I love you. Be my girlfriend!"
This statement came out.
All around were voices of envy.
"My God! This girl is so lucky! That's Lord Will!"
"Lord Will is so handsome."
Why can't I have such good fortune?
"She must have saved the galaxy in her past life, to be proposed to by Lord Will in public!"
"..."
Hearing the voices of passersby, Will's lips curled into a slight smile. He figured Jiang Ning must be incredibly moved right now.
I was not only moved.
Their vanity was also well satisfied.
girl.
Don't we all like a grand confession of love, to become someone others envy?
Since Jiang Ning didn't like the confession ceremony last time.
She'll definitely like this one.
That's right.
These people were all arranged by Will.
Their royal family's scandalous affairs naturally couldn't be freely circulated among the common people, but Jiang Ning loved fame and fortune.
To satisfy Jiang Ning's vanity, Will arranged for these onlookers to gather.
Therefore, not a single word of what happened tonight will be leaked to the outside world.
Jiang Ning's face remained expressionless as she stared at Will. "Lord, I think I made myself clear last time. You are not my type!"
Will frowned slightly. "Don't you like the confession ceremony I arranged for you?"
How could any girl not like this kind of confession ceremony?
I've gained both fame and fortune!
Even their vanity was satisfied.
What else does Jiang Ning want?
“Yes,” Jiang Ning nodded, “I don’t like it at all, and your behavior has already caused me trouble.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning took Yue Qianlan's hand and said, "Let's go in March."
Yue Qianlan immediately followed in Jiang Ning's footsteps.
Will: ? ? ? ? ?
A moment later, Will looked at Ham. "What did she just say? What did she say my actions caused her?"
Will could hardly believe his ears.
He had never pursued a girl with such great fanfare before.
This was even the first time they'd ever held a confession ceremony!
Not only was Jiang Ning unmoved, but...
You seem quite disgusted?
Ham also found it quite unbelievable, and stammered, "She, she seems to have said that your current behavior is causing her distress."
Will scratched his head and looked at Ham. "Am I really that bad?"
Everything he did was clearly to express his love.
But to Jiang Ning, it became a source of trouble!
Does Jiang Ning know that this is something countless girls would kill for?
Does Jiang Ning still want to become a lord's wife?
Ham immediately shook his head, "Not bad at all, not bad at all! You are a Lord of the Windsor family! How could you be bad? It's clearly that Chinese man who has no taste!"
At this point, Ham said with some doubt, "It's really strange! Chinese people will do anything for fame and fortune, so why is she so unmoved?"
Given everything Will is doing for Jiang Ning, it's no wonder that even a grown man like him is tempted, let alone a girl.
Will narrowed his eyes. The harder Jiang Ning was to pursue, the more determined he became.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing her cry for me and beg me not to leave!"
Will has had many relationships.
What he enjoys most is seeing women conquered by him.
He also enjoys seeing women cry for him, cling to his legs, and beg him not to leave them.
Will couldn't even imagine how exhilarating it would be to see Jiang Ning, this untamed wild deer, crawling at his feet, crying and begging him not to leave!
Ham was taken aback. "You're still going to pursue her?"
“That’s right,” Will continued, “I just don’t believe there aren’t women in this world who don’t love fame and fortune!”
