C12 Thank You
Everyone at the table was intimidated by Ye Nan, who was in her 20s. After several attempts, her fists became red and swollen, and some people even threw beer bottles at their foreheads helplessly. However, Ye Nan wasn't targeting these people, in her eyes, only Tingzi was the culprit.
"Since you're Miss Han Ruyu's classmate, and even set up this trap, and called some scum from outside the school to help you, your heart is truly ruthless. If I take any measures against you today, it seems I'm bullying you a little. How about this, I'll let you prepare first. The next time you dare to cause trouble for Han Ruoyu, I'll personally pay a visit so that your family won't be at peace." Ye Nan left as soon as he said those harsh words, but Tingzi was already drunk, and the other party's warning was very vague.
Du Jie supported Han Ruyu out the door. Qiangzi used a crude method to block their path. Han Ruyu closed her eyes as she said incoherently drunk words.
"Release her for me. You're just a brother-in-law. Isn't it better to spread the news like this?" Hadron threatened Dujie.
"Since I'm her brother-in-law, I naturally have to send her home safely. But then again, who are you? Don't think I don't know your real purpose. If you keep pestering Ruyu like this, I'll call the police. "Make way." Du Jie pushed past the Hadron and headed for the door.
In the pitch black night, the neon lights outside the bar were still flashing brightly. Du Jie supported Han Ruyu, wanting to call a taxi.
When she was at home, because Du Jie suddenly left after reading WeChat, she was a little worried about Du Jie. She used her cell phone to find this place, but after stopping the car, she didn't have the courage to go in and find someone. What if she really encountered something she shouldn't have seen, even if something happened, the marriage between the two of them was nothing more than an agreement, a farce, did she really have the qualifications to express her opinion?
While she was feeling conflicted, Du Jie appeared before her. Her heartbeat suddenly became strong, but when she noticed that the drunk woman was her sister, she became even more surprised. What was going on?
Just as Han Ruoqing was about to open the car door, Qiang Zi walked out from behind Du Jie. The three of them were now very close to her, and the windows were slightly ajar as they tried their best to listen for any movement outside.
"I say, that good-for-nothing brother-in-law of Ruyu, are you sure you want to send her home so late at night and not go somewhere else? Let me tell you, we're all men, don't think that others don't know your thoughts. I can help you call the police right now.
"No need for that, I'll go with you." Han Ruyu couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, but she was so drunk that she revealed her thoughts.
"Did you hear that!? Give her to me. " As soon as he finished speaking, Qiang Zi rushed forward to snatch him away. Unexpectedly, Du Jie threw a punch at him, knocking him down to the ground.
It was as if he had vented all of his years of resentment in one go. Taking two steps forward and grabbing the other person's collar, he gritted his teeth and warned, "Listen to me, stay away from the Han Family. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
Seeing that Du Jie didn't seem like he was just casually talking, he looked very serious. Qiang Zi also didn't want to offend the Han Family, so he could only nod his head and stand up, but his aura was still there. He pointed at Du Jie and said, "Mind your own business, just you wait."
When Qiang Zi left, Du Jie held onto Han Ruyu's arm, watching the cars pass by from time to time.
Seeing this, Han Ruoxi got out of the car and looked at Du Jie. Du Jie recognized the person in front of him through the reflection of the neon light and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
After Ye Nan had settled his business, he jumped out of the door. Just as he was about to shout out "Young Master …", she was stopped by Chen Yu Jiao at the side. She also shook her head, hinting at him.
"Oh my god!" Ye Nan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Ruoqing, why are you here? I can explain what you saw today. " Du Jie's eyes were filled with panic, but Han Ruoqing didn't have the slightest reaction.
"Get in the car first!" Just leave Ruyu to me. " Han Ruoqing took the unconscious Han Ruoyun from Du Jie's hands and got into the car. Du Jie followed closely behind.
Han Ruyu arranged for them to sit in the front passenger seat, while Du Jie sat obediently in the back.
Not knowing what kind of family rules Du Jie would face when he returned home, Ye Nan and Chen Yu shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless to help.
In the carriage, the husband and wife pair remained silent. Only Han Ruyu was still talking drunk. "Come on, let's drink some more."
Han Ruoqing occasionally observed Du Jie's expression through the rearview mirror. His gaze never left the window, and he didn't want to explain anything.
"Thank you." This' thank you 'was uttered very quietly, to the point that it sounded as though the other party was afraid of overhearing it.
Du Jie turned around and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
"I mean... How did you know that Ruo Yu was in danger today? " Han Ruoqing changed her tone. Du Jie had clearly heard it clearly. Even though she didn't want to admit it, Du Jie was still very happy in his heart.
"Today, a friend came here to tell me that Ruo Yu and a few others came here to drink. They didn't look like students, so I didn't dare to tell you guys, so I came to take a look."
He continued to face out the window.
When they returned to the courtyard of the villa, Han Ruoqing still warned them not to reveal what had happened today. Du Jie replied, seeing Han Ruoqing struggling to support his sister, Du Jie went forward to help. The two of them looked at each other through the gap in the middle of Han Ruoyun's eyes, seeing the strange look in her eyes, Du Jie smiled and said, "What, you're also afraid that I'll have feelings for her?"
While they were joking, Du Jie had already snatched Han Ruoqing away from her. He picked up her from the ground and strode to the second floor. Han Ruoqing quickly followed behind.
After settling down Han Ruyu, the two walked out of her room, which was located in the middle of their bedroom.
Han Ruoqing said that she was tired and wanted to return to her room to rest first. Du Jie stopped her and said, "Tomorrow, you can put aside your matters and come with me to the chef's school."
"Is it really done?"
With the results from today's delivery, Du Jie's ability to handle matters was truly astonishing. Han Ruoqing obviously didn't want to easily believe it.
"Right, it won't take up too much of your time. We'll meet at the school gates tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. It definitely won't affect your meeting with Young Master Long in the afternoon." Du Jie's words had another meaning behind them. Han Ruoxi felt uncomfortable listening to them, so she opened her mouth to refute him, but Du Jie didn't want to hear it. Instead, he turned around and returned to his bedroom.
Lying on the bed, Du Jie kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He opened WeChat and saw that Han Ruoqing's circle of friends had blocked him, so he couldn't grasp her whereabouts. It gave him a headache.
Sometimes, he suspected himself as well. Was he that anxious to understand Han Ruoqing just to protect her? I don't think so. Dujie, you're in love with someone and yet you refuse to admit it.
"Yes, I'm sure I've never had a real relationship before, so that's why I'm acting like this."
He asked Du Jie if he had been troubled after returning to the Han Family, and explained everything to them. But soon, he realized that these two people were his most caring people, and were also very smart, so he might as well tell them his thoughts so that they could analyze them.
"I think I care a lot about Han Ruoqing."
After Du Jie sent a message, he felt that his words were not specific enough. Before he could add the second sentence, the other side had already replied.
"Young Master, congratulations on falling in love with her."
Impossible, a woman like her was far too lacking and had never found any merits in Han Ruoqing.
Du Jie was stubborn, but his confidence was obviously lacking. He was only deceiving himself.
The next day, Han Ruoqing really was waiting for Du Jie. She went downstairs very early.
"I'll drive you there."
Du Jie originally wanted to take a step forward to take care of the chefs' school, but now it seemed that he could only take things one step at a time.
The car drove straight to the school gates. Du Jie got off the car and looked around. A red sports car had stopped by the side of the gate. Through the windscreen, he saw Ye Nan and Chen Yu Jiao sitting inside.
Along the way, he spoke of Han Ruoqing's great name. Not a single person dared to stop him, and the principal even personally received her.
"Director Han, to have such a student like you, this school must feel the glory of being able to serve you!"
He was being too polite.
"What's going on?" Han Ruoqing looked at Du Jie in confusion. Du Jie could only smile wryly and refuse to reply.
"Principal, my Han Ruoqing is usually very busy, and with the arrival of the International Food Festival, she really has no choice but to take the shortcut."
"Of course, you can go through the level one chef test today. It's very simple, it's just that you personally select the ingredients and cook. You are not allowed to bring assistants, just one dish is enough." Since the principal had stated the rules of the competition, it should be much simpler.
Arriving at the exam grounds, it was bright and spacious, a few hundred square meters wide. A row of examiners had long since been waiting there, and Han Ruoqing was the only one who received such attention.
Du Jie, who was at the side, reminded him in a low voice, "This is what level one is. In front of us, we'll choose the ingredients and then make the competing dishes in forty minutes. The special examinees are allowed to bring helpers.
Is that really the case?
Carrying all sorts of questions in her mind, Han Ruoqing changed into her work clothes and took the tray to the freezer in front of them to pick the ingredients. The judges were all smiling and didn't look serious, indicating that they would go through the back door.
In less than five minutes, Han Ruoqing brought the ingredients she had chosen back to the stove at the center of the arena. With a dish in her heart, she picked out a knife with one hand and swiftly cut them together.
Even though it was Mister Woodland's request, the judges still wanted to see this person's achievements. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the school and the woodland.
"Knife skills are still acceptable."
"That's right!" A CEO who has never worked in the culinary world is a rare sight. "
The judges couldn't help but praise her. Hearing such a comment, Han Ruoqing wasn't as nervous.
At that moment when the fire started, Han Ruoxi suddenly turned her head slightly and looked at the face of Du Jie, who was sitting some distance behind her. She opened her mouth and her two peach lips moved a little, a silent "thank you" reflected in Du Jie's eyes.
