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

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

"Wait for me a moment, I'll process a contract and I'll be out right away."

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

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

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

When they were about to finish, they saw Li Qingqing walking out of the company with swaying steps, holding a delicate little bag in her hand.

Zhao Xu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and walked towards Li Qingqing.

When Zhao Xu approached, Li Qingqing deliberately kept a straight face and said, "You're fine, can you smoke less?"

"It's already decreasing. At the most, it was one pack of cigarettes a day. Now it takes two days to get one pack. Try to get one pack of cigarettes every three days!" Zhao Xu smiled.

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

"I'll fight for it!"

The two got into the car talking and laughing.

"Have Ah Zhong and Master Ma left?" Li Qingqing asked Zhao Xu after getting in the car.

"Already gone!" Zhao Xu said while driving: "I have already called Shadow. He has prepared the wine and food and is waiting for me to cook."

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

"Well! The knife has arrived."

Zhao Xu drove quickly towards Ying Ying's home.

In the small town outside, a beautiful large tile-roofed house looks particularly beautiful in the whole town.

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

Zhao Xu imitated Shadow and whistled.

The two big black-backed wolfdogs immediately wagged their tails as if they had met old friends.

Li Qingqing smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "You are good at ventriloquism!"

Zhao Xu smiled proudly and said: "Compared with before, it has indeed improved a lot. However, it is still far from Shadow's ventriloquism."

Hearing the movement in the yard, Shadow came out with Anru and Chen Xiaodao.

When Anru saw Li Qingqing, she immediately greeted her, took Li Qingqing's hand, and entered the house first while talking and laughing.

Shadow was not polite to Zhao Xu, and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, the vegetables have been cut for you. Go and stir-fry quickly. We will start dinner soon."

"You two guys are waiting to eat ready-made food. I just realized now that it's not a good thing for a man to know how to cook!" Zhao Xu complained.

Shadow and Chen Xiaodao looked at each other and smiled, with a sense of joy in others' misfortune.

Zhao Xu has long been used to being weird about several of his friends.

When he has free time, he is also willing to cook himself. It is still a great sense of accomplishment to cook a sumptuous table of delicious food and be recognized and shared by others.

During the few years when Zhao Xu became the son-in-law, he did not practice anything else, but his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. In his hands, a few side dishes quickly turned into plates of exquisite dishes and were brought to the table.

Shadow has already prepared wine.

All he got was pure grain wine brewed by himself.

Zhao Xu likes to drink a kind of shadow brewing, a small fermented mung bean shochu. The wine has a refreshing taste, and it doesn't get drunk after drinking too much.

Shadow was the first to raise his glass. Li Qingqing and Anru each drank mineral water instead. After everyone touched the glass lightly, Zhao Xu, Shadow and Chen Xiaodao drank the wine in one gulp.

The cup is very small, just a three-cent wine glass.

"Zhao Xu, do you have something to do with me? Otherwise, you and Qingqing are both busy people. Why would you come to my place in broad daylight?" Shadow asked Zhao Xu while picking up vegetables and eating.

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

"Shadow, I have to give you a major task this time. This matter is not trivial, so the less people know about it, the better."

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

"The Zhao clan has been poisoned, and I am going to Yunjiang. We have similar bodies, and you are good at ventriloquism. You will pretend to be me! Be my substitute."

"I'm pretending to be you?" Shadow was shocked and said, "Liu Guan and those people are still in Lincheng. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if I pretend to be you."

"It's not like you haven't pretended to be me before. Besides, there's a knife here."

Shadow thought for a while and realized that what Zhao Xu was going to do was very important. He said, "Okay! But how long will you be leaving?"

"About a month! Regardless of whether I can find the successor of Gu Shu, I will come back."

"But what about Anjou?" Shadow said worriedly.

Li Qingqing smiled and said: "We have already thought about it for you. You and Anru will move to our house. It just so happens that Anru is also pregnant. We two pregnant women can be together to relax.

What shadow, what else do you have to worry about?"

Shadow shrugged and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already made the decision for me whether I agree or not. However, Zhao Xu, you must come back to attend the May Day wedding between me and Anru."

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

Chen Xiaodao patted Ying Ying's shoulder and said, "Ying Ying, I think your nickname is really not in vain. If Zhao Xu is in emergency, you can always be his substitute, equivalent to Zhao Xu's shadow. What a famous name.

It’s true!”

"Screw you! I didn't get the nickname of my shadow. It was given to me by my friends in the world!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

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

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

With Shadow as Zhao Xu's substitute, Zhao Xu can go to Yunjiang with peace of mind.

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

After lunch, Shadow and Anru only brought 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 the shadow pretending to be Zhao Xu. Apart from that, he never told anyone else.

It's not that Zhao Xuxin is no better than the other brothers, but that the fewer people know about this matter, the better.

Anru got pregnant later than Li Qingqing, but her belly also swelled slightly.

Living in Zhao Xu's house, with Li Qingqing accompanying her, Anru felt relaxed. After all, Shadow also lived here.

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

In one month, a dozen masks are almost enough.

Zhao Xu, Chen Xiaodao and Shadow were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting. Li Qingqing took Anru to the room upstairs.

Chen Xiaodao said to Zhao Xu: "Master! When you were locked up in the 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. "Xiao Dao, not only is Lu Xiaochuan here, but Su Ai, who is ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, is also here.
