When Bai Leling heard that everything had entered into the account of one person, that only showed one thing. This person had something to do with Du Mei, and Du Mei paid him hush money every year to silence him.

"Continue to investigate. If we find out, I will give you the final payment." Bai Leling said.

As long as she could find out the truth about her mother back then, no matter the price, she would not hesitate.

"You can rest assured about this, we will help you continue the investigation."

After she hung up the phone, she put the phone aside, but she couldn't read a word of the script in front of her.

Bai Leling simply put away all these things, and was in a daze while eating the apple.

Shang Yuqian saw Bai Leling's appearance upstairs, and related to the conversation just now, he thought that Bai Leling seemed to be hiding something from him.

"Ah Yu! Why are you standing there?" When Bai Leling accidentally raised her head, she saw Shang Yuqian standing on the window, and felt strange that this person stood by the window after going up?
Shang Yuqian was thinking about something when he suddenly heard Bai Leling calling him. He looked down and saw Bai Leling waving to him.

"Ayu. The yard here is nice. Let's have hotpot here at night, okay?" Bai Leling waved her hands and said coquettishly to Shang Yuqian.

Shang Yuqian didn't reply, just looked at Bai Leling like this.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement!" Bai Leling didn't bother to listen to Shang Yuqian's answer, and agreed directly.

Bai Leling called the butler to prepare the dishes that needed hot pot tonight.

But I don't know what happened last night, it would be bad to eat hot pot so blatantly now.

"Eat hot pot at night, you should be fine?" After Bai Leling complied on her own, she suddenly got a little tangled up.

She suddenly missed the taste of hot pot, but Shang Yuqian must have never eaten it.Born in such a family, Shang Yuqian must have never tasted it.

Bai Leling felt that it was really tiring to talk to Shang Yuqian with her head up like this. She didn't know why Shang Yuqian refused to come down, what was she doing standing in the study.

"Let the butler prepare it." After Shang Yuqian finished speaking, he disappeared from the window.

When the butler heard Bai Leling said that he was going to prepare a hot pot, he was really surprised.

Ms. Bai must know that Shang Yuqian has a slight obsession with cleanliness, right?

Such a slight cleanliness can really eat hot pot?

"This, Shao Shang explained?" The butler was a little unsure and asked one extra question.

"Yeah. I've asked just now, you go and get ready." Bai Leling copied out what he wanted to eat on paper and handed it to the butler in front of him.

"Just put it in the backyard." Bai Leling confessed.

"Okay. You can rest assured."

In the evening, Bai Leling dragged Shang Yuqian to sit down beside the stone table.

The hot pot is a mandarin duck pot. When the lid is opened, the hot pot emits white air and a strong fragrance.

Bai Leling can guarantee that the butler prepared enough base ingredients for her, otherwise it wouldn't have such a strong taste.

"Ayu, what do you want to eat? Beef tripe is still slippery with shrimp?" Bai Leling put shrimp slippery for him first, looked at the boiling soup on it, and remembered when he was dragged back to high school.

"I still remember when Du Mei abused me and didn't give me much food. At that time, all I wanted was a hot pot." Bai Leling looked indifferent, as if she wasn't talking about her own affairs.

Shang Yuqian keenly sensed that her mood seemed wrong, but he didn't know why.

"Are you unhappy?" Shang Yuqian asked directly.

Bai Leling pursed her lips and shook her head: "It's not that you're unhappy, it's just that you're suddenly in a bad mood." She looked at Shang Yuqian with a light in her eyes: "Ah Yu, I was told before that if you're in a bad mood, Just eat hot pot."

She looked at the steaming hot pot, and changed the subject: "Okay. The shrimp is ready, do you want to try it?"

Bai Leling fished out the shrimp and put it in Shang Yuqian's bowl.

Shang Yuqian looked at the things in his bowl, picked them up with chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

He eats very elegantly, it is obviously a down-to-earth hot pot, but it just gives him the feeling of a western restaurant.

"Why did you eat it without the sauce? The most important thing about hot pot is the sauce!" Bai Leling brought the sauce for him, and made another for himself.

Shang Yuqian didn't do anything, but looked at Bai Leling, and repeated the question just now: "You are not happy."

Bai Leling was busy with her hands, and the shrimp almost slipped from her chopsticks.

"I've said it all, but I'm in a bad mood. I need to have a hot pot meal with the person I like."

"Because of what?"

Bai Leling was still smiling reluctantly, but when she heard Shang Yuqian's words, she simply put down her chopsticks.

"I asked someone to investigate what happened to my mother back then." Bai Leling thought she had covered it up very well, but Shang Yuqian still found out.

"The investigators said that my mother's incident happened too long ago. Maybe a lot of evidence has been destroyed." Bai Leling looked down at his hands, and his whole body was filled with frustration: "My mother definitely didn't die by accident."

"Du Mei must have done it. But as a daughter, I can't even find out the truth." How could Bai Leling be happy?

Shang Yuqian's cheek muscles tightened slightly. It was the first time he saw Bai Leling so depressed, but for a while, he didn't know how to comfort Bai Leling.

He put his hand on Bai Leling's head.

It seems that I have seen somewhere that others comfort people like this.

Bai Leling felt a warm palm on his head, looked up at Shang Yuqian, and then Shang Yuqian's hand touched Bai Leling's head.

This clumsy move made Bai Leling laugh.

"Which comforter is so comforting?" Bai Leling groaned, and the gloom that had lingered on her just now disappeared.

"Okay. I'm fine. Let's eat quickly, or the hot pot soup will be boiled dry in a while." Bai Leling cheered up again, and busily picked up and warmed Shang Yuqian's vegetables.

After eating, he took Shang Yuqian for a walk in the yard to digest the food, and asked the servants to take the things away.

Shang Yuqian seemed very busy, but his phone kept ringing while he was walking.

"Ayu, if you have something to do, go and do it. I'll read the script later." Bai Leling rushed him to work, which made Shang Yuqian a little unhappy.

Bai Leling knew all the details of Shang Yuqian's expression clearly. After she felt that there seemed to be a subtle change in Shang Yuqian's expression, she said, "If you waste time now, you might have to deal with it later. It's midnight."

When Shang Yuqian heard Bai Leling break up his words, he simply responded and left the courtyard to go to the study.
