Chapter 781: Strange Photo
This was clearly a family photo. Other than his father, no one else deserved to stand beside him and Xiao ng.
Zhuang Long asked Xiao ng, “Why isn’t there a father?”
Xiao ng snatched the photo and said coldly, “His photo was bitten by a rat. I didn’t think it looked good, so I cut it.”
This explanation sounded like nonsense.
Zhuang Long clearly did not believe her. He raised his eyebrows but did not expose Xiao ng’s lie.
He then looked at the second photo.
Zhuang Long was stunned when he saw this photo.
The person in the photo was still him, but it was not the him when he was young, but the him when he was an adult. He was wearing a decent suit and stood on a podium with a trophy in his hand. Zhuang Long clearly rembered that this was the day he received the Nobel Prize in dicine.
Who took this photo?
Who sent it to Xiao ng?
Zhuang Long stared at the energetic and confident young man in the photo. He could not suppress his curiosity and asked Xiao ng, “Who sent this to you?”
Xiao ng hesitated before saying, “Soone you don’t know.”
Zhuang Long suddenly smiled and said, “I guess it’s Marvin?” He felt that Marvin knew about Xiao ng’s existence.
......
Xiao ng shook her head.
If Zhuang Long could guess Marvin, he must have guessed that Marvin knew about his childhood. That was true. Marvin was so rich, he would definitely not adopt a child of unknown origin as an adopted child. Before he adopted Zhuang Long, he must have done so research.
Xiao ng said honestly, “Marvin didn’t send anything. He just called occasionally to tell if you were okay.”
Zhuang Long was surprised.
It was actually not him.
Then who was it?
Zhuang Long smiled sarcastically and said, “Marvin doesn’t even co to see . How would he know if I’m okay?”
Xiao ng did not know about Zhuang Long’s life all these years. She only knew that her son was very promising and had contributed to humanity. She did not know what to say and remained silent.
Zhuang Long shook the photo in his hand and frowned. He thought in confusion, Other than Marvin, who else knew about his past? Who sent this photo to Xiao ng?
One look at Xiao ng’s expression and he knew that although this woman looked gentle and easy to talk to, what she was unwilling to tell you was that she would not tell you. It was useless even if you opened her mouth and broke her teeth. Zhuang Long felt a little irritated for no reason.
“Forget it. If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”
He got up to leave.
Xiao ng was a little flustered.
She knew that her concealnt had made Zhuang Long unhappy. She suddenly grabbed Zhuang Long. Zhuang Long could have shaken off this hand, but he could not bear to. He did not turn around and heard Xiao ng coax him softly, “Xiao Bao, don’t be angry, okay?”
Zhuang Long said, “Then tell who that person is.”
Xiao ng hesitated for a mont before letting go of Zhuang Long.
Zhuang Long was even angrier and strode away.
Xiao ng was a little confused and cautious. When Zhuang Qilin saw this, he walked over and pulled Xiao ng to the small sofa in the room to sit down. “Grandma, don’t be afraid. Dad changes his expression very quickly. He won’t be angry later.”
Xiao ng was not comforted.
Zhuang Qilin thought that she did not believe him, so he said, “Really! He’s really cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He’s especially easy to coax! How about this? Make dinner for Dad tonight and he will definitely forgive you.”
Xiao ng’s eyes lit up.
“Will it really work?”
“Sure.”
Zhuang Qilin was lying through his teeth. He only felt that his father actually cared about his grandmother very much. Being angry at him was definitely only temporary. He would be fine in a few hours.
Zhuang Long had been very nervous these few days and did not rest well.
He was not very angry. After leaving Xiao ng’s room, he returned to his own room to sleep. When he woke up, it was almost dark. Zhuang Long stared at the dark sky outside the window and could not tell if it was dawn or dusk.
He lay on the bed for a while longer before finding his phone. When he saw that it was past six in the afternoon, he realized that it was almost dark.
Strange, it was already past six o’clock. Why hadn’t the butler called him for dinner?
Zhuang Long was a little puzzled. He casually washed his face with cold water and ran downstairs. He realized that the chefs were all standing outside the kitchen. “What’s wrong? What happened?” They were not done cooking yet, and the group was not in a hurry to cook. They were all standing outside the kitchen door. What were they doing?
Zhuang Long had just finished asking when he heard Xiao ng’s voice coming from the kitchen.
“Xiao Bao must be hungry. Mommy will be done in a while.”
Zhuang Long was surprised.
He walked into the kitchen and saw Xiao ng, who was wearing an apron, and Zhuang Qilin, who was causing trouble beside her.
“You’re cooking?” Zhuang Long was surprised.
Xiao ng nodded. Seeing that Zhuang Long was sizing up the few dishes that had been prepared, she felt a little embarrassed. It was rare for her to be a little shy. She lowered her head and defended herself softly. “I haven’t cooked for too many years. I’m very unfamiliar with it. It doesn’t look good.”
“But don’t worry, the taste is alright. I’ve already thrown away the dishes that failed.” The dishes on the kitchen counter were the most delicious ones that Xiao ng had picked out after making them a few tis. Zhuang Long understood what Xiao ng ant. He opened his mouth and wanted to say sothing, but he realized that his throat was extrely dry.
No wonder it was almost seven o’clock and dinner was not ready.
After a short silence, Xiao ng heard Zhuang Long grunt softly.
He left the kitchen and t the head butler. He asked him, “What ti did the Old Madam start cooking?”
The head butler seed to be a little moved. He was silent for a mont before saying, “It starts at three thirty.”
Zhuang Long felt even worse.
Zhuang Qilin ssed around in the kitchen for a while before feeling that it was aningless. He took off his small apron and ran out of the kitchen. He saw Zhuang Long in the back garden outside the dining room. He sat with his back facing Zhuang Qilin, and his back looked very sad.
Zhuang Qilin walked over quietly and walked to Zhuang Long. He realized that his father was distracted.
Zhuang Qilin waved his hand in front of Zhuang Long and finally attracted his attention.
“You’re not helping your grandmother cook anymore?” Zhuang Long sounded tired, as if he had just ended a long journey.
Zhuang Qilin said, “I’m not helping. It’s better to co out.” He sat down at the side. Seeing that Zhuang Long seed very tired, he asked him, “What are you thinking about?”
Zhuang Long said, “I was thinking about when I was young.”
“What were you like when you were young?”
Zhuang Long thought for a while before saying, “I don’t rember.”
Zhuang Qilin suddenly said, “It feels great to have a mother, right?”
Zhuang Long glanced at him and did not reply.
These words were a trap. If Zhuang Long dared to nod, he would be jumping into this trap.
