Chapter 1298: The perfect substitute

After Zhao Xu sent Lu Yuqi to Huayi's clinic, he drove directly to his wife Li Qingqing's newly opened "Qingmei Cosmetics" company.

After arriving at the company, Zhao Xu called Li Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, I'm here!"

"Wait for me, I'll handle a contract and come out immediately."

Zhao Xu replied, "Okay!" and then hung up the phone.

The weather is good today, it is a sunny day.

Zhao Xu took out a pack of cigarettes from the car, stood beside the car, waiting for his wife Li Qingqing while smoking.

When he was about to finish the draw, Li Qingqing walked out of the company with a delicate small bag in her hand.

Zhao Xu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his feet, and greeted Li Qingqing.

When Zhao Xu approached, Li Qingqing deliberately looked stern and said, "You are fine, can you smoke less cigarettes?"

"It has been reduced. At the most, one pack of cigarettes a day. Now it takes only one pack for two days. Try to get one pack for one pack of cigarettes a day!" Zhao Xu smiled.

"Strive to smoke a pack of cigarettes for a month!" Li Qingqing said.

"I'll fight for it!"

The two of them got into the car while talking and laughing.

"Ah Zhong and Mr. Ma left?" After getting in the car, Li Qingqing asked Zhao Xu.

"He's gone!" Zhao Xu said while driving: "I've called Shadow. He has prepared all the wine and food, waiting for me to go cooking."

"Then let's go!" Li Qingqing urged Zhao Xu. "By the way, has Xiaodao gone?"

"Well! The knife has arrived."

Zhao Xu drove all the way toward Shadow's house at lightning.

In the small town of Xiaowai, a beautiful large tiled house looks particularly beautiful throughout the town.

When they arrived at the yard of Shadow's house, two big black-backed wolfdogs barked wildly.

Zhao Xu learned from the shadows and whistled.

The two big black-backed wolfdogs immediately shook their tails as if they met an old friend.

Li Qingqing smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "You have learned this skill well!"

Zhao Xu smiled proudly and said, "It has indeed made great progress compared to before. However, it is still far from Shadow's ventriloquism."

Hearing the movement in the yard, Shadow brought Anru and Chen Xiaodao to greet him.

When Anru saw Li Qingqing, she immediately met her, took Li Qingqing's hand, and walked into the house with a smile and laughing.

Shadow didn't be polite to Zhao Xu, and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, the dishes have been cut for you. Go and cook quickly, we'll start the meal soon."

"You two guys are waiting to eat ready-made ones. I just realized now that men can cook, which is not a good thing!" Zhao Xu complained.

Shadow and Chen Xiaodao smiled at each other, and there was a sense of gloating.

Zhao Xu has long been accustomed to several friends.

When he has free time, he is willing to cook himself. He makes a table of rich food, which is recognized and shared by others, and is still very fulfilling.

During the years when Zhao Xu became a son-in-law, he had not practiced anything else, but his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. In his hands, several side dishes quickly turned into plates of exquisite dishes and served on the table.

The shadow has already prepared the wine.

All he took were pure grain wine he brewed.

Zhao Xu likes to drink a kind of shredded wine made from shadows, a small soju made from mung beans. The wine tastes cool and it won’t get enough of it if you drink too much.

Shadow raised his glass first, Li Qingqing and Anru each replaced them with mineral water. After everyone touched the glass gently, Zhao Xu, Shadow and Chen Xiaodao each drank the wine in the glass in one go.

The cup is very small, just a small wine glass of three cents.

"Zhao Xu, are you asking me for trouble? Otherwise, you and Qingqing are both busy. How could they come to me in broad daylight?" Shadow asked Zhao Xu while picking up food and eating.

Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Shadow, I'm going to give you a major task this time. This is a big deal, so the fewer people know, the better."

"What's the matter?" Shadow stopped the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Zhao Xu.

"The Zhao clan members were poisoned and I want to go to Yunjiang. We have similar figures and you can ventilate skills. You can pretend to be me! Be my substitute."

"I'm pretending to be you?" Shadow was shocked and said, "Liu Guan and others are still in Lincheng. I'm pretending to be you, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

"You haven't pretended to be me. Besides, there's a little knife here."

Shadow thought about it and knew that what Zhao Xu was going to do was very important. She said, "Okay then! But how long will you go?"

"It's about a month! I will come back no matter whether I can find the successor of the cuckoo technique."

"But what should Anjou do?" Shadow said worriedly.

Li Qingqing smiled and said, "We have already thought about it for you. You and Anjou both moved to our house. Anjou is also pregnant. We two pregnant women can relieve our worries. How can we see, what are you still worried about?"

Shadow shrugged and smiled, "It seems that I agree or not, you have already made a decision for me. However, Zhao Xu, you must come back to attend the wedding of Anju May Day."

"Don't worry! I will definitely come back." Zhao Xu said.

Chen Xiaodao patted Yingzi on the shoulder and said, "Shadow, I think your nickname is really in vain. If Zhao Xu had something urgent to do, you could always be his substitute, which is equivalent to Zhao Xu's shadow. It's really a true name!"

"Go to you! My shadow nickname is not something I can afford. It was given by my friends in the world!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

After the discussion was settled, everyone began to have lunch happily.

Zhao Xu had already prepared wedding houses for Shadow and Anru in "Yuetan Bay", but Shadow was used to living in the town house and never moved there.

If a shadow is Zhao Xu's substitute, Zhao Xu can go to Yunjiang with confidence.

Before this, there were only two things that had not been done. These two things could also be classified into the same category. That is to help Li Zhan move his grave and find the treasure of the Zhao family.

After lunch, Shadow and Anru brought only some simple luggage and valuable things, then got into Chen Xiaodao's car and followed Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing to Yuetan Bay.

Zhao Xu only told Nong Quan and Mr. Kong about Shadow pretending to be Zhao Xu. Apart from that, he never told anyone else.

It’s not that Zhao Xu can’t trust other brothers, but that the fewer people know about this, the better.

Anjou became pregnant later than Li Qingqing, but her lower abdomen was slightly raised.

Living at Zhao Xu's house and with Li Qingqing accompanying her, Anru was not restricted. After all, Shadow also lives here.

Zhao Xu made almost a dozen of his masks and handed them over to Shadow for safekeeping.

In one month, more than a dozen masks are almost enough.

Zhao Xu, Chen Xiaodao and Yingzi sat on the sofa while drinking tea while chatting. Li Qingqing took Anru to the room upstairs.

Chen Xiaodao said to Zhao Xu: "Young Master! When you were locked in an underground cell two days ago, I seemed to see Lu Xiaochuan coming to the city!"

"Yes, it's him!" Zhao Xu suddenly remembered the conversation between Liu Guan and Lu Xiaochuan when the communicator was not broken. "Xiaodao, not only Lu Xiaochuan has come, but Su Ai, who ranks tenth in the sky list, has also come."
