Chapter 331 She was very scared, really scared
Upon hearing her words, Sheng Mingying looked at her and saw a nervous face.
He seemed worried that his cooking wasn't good enough and would displease her; his face showed unease.
Does this child have no idea how good he is to himself?
He said kindly, "It suits your taste."
"It suits my taste perfectly."
"These noodles are delicious. I've never had such delicious noodles before."
After finishing his sentence, Wenren Teng, who had already eaten a quarter of the noodles, said, "It's really good."
Upon hearing Wenren Teng's words, Zhou Yi glanced at Wenren Teng for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise.
There are still things I haven't thought of.
She never expected that the master would approve of the noodles she made.
When Sheng Mingying heard Wenren Teng's words, and then saw Wenren Teng eating noodles, just like Wenren Chen, she couldn't tell from his expression that he liked it, but the noodles in both of their bowls were gradually decreasing.
Sheng Mingying smiled, looking at Zhou Yi's stunned and surprised face, and said, "It's really delicious, we all like it very much."
After saying that, he looked at the untouched porridge in front of Zhou Yi and said in an extremely kind voice, "Zhou Yi, you should eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good."
Zhou Yi didn't make her own noodles; she ate the breakfast prepared by the chef. This way, it wouldn't take much time and wouldn't delay the master, mistress, and husband from having breakfast.
Hearing Sheng Mingying's words, Zhou Yi relaxed completely, a soft smile blooming on her face: "Yes, Madam."
She picked up a spoon and drank the porridge, her eyebrows curving into smiles.
She loves to cook, and to cook delicious food.
Eating delicious food makes you feel happy, and good food outside is expensive, while cooking at home is much cheaper.
The master and mistress are both very capable people. They are very wealthy and have eaten many good things. What she thinks is delicious, the master and mistress may not think is delicious.
Therefore, she was very worried that what she cooked would not suit the tastes of the master and mistress.
Fortunately, the old master and mistress both liked it very much.
She would be relieved if she liked it.
She had always wanted to repay her husband, but didn't know how. Now that she could cook some dishes and noodles for him and his wife, she felt very happy.
Zhou Yi drank her porridge, feeling relaxed.
However, just then, a pair of chopsticks reached over, and a small steamed bun with a thin skin and a generous filling was placed on her plate.
Zhou Yi paused, then looked at the person beside her.
After putting xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) on her plate, Wenren Chen continued eating his noodles, as if he hadn't done the thing he just did.
Zhou Yi smiled: "Thank you, sir."
After saying that, she picked up the xiaolongbao and took a bite. It was full of filling and smelled delicious.
Her smile widened.
This wasn't the first time Wenren Chen had served her food, so Zhou Yi wasn't surprised that Wenren Chen would serve her xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
She ate her meals normally, as did Wenren Chen.
But the two old men watched this scene without reacting, especially Wenren Chen.
Who is Wenren Chen?
They heard that the person was the most difficult to talk to and the most indifferent.
He wouldn't even serve food to his parents, yet now he's serving steamed buns to a woman with a child—it's absolutely astonishing!
But Zhou Yi, while eating the steamed buns and drinking porridge, had a face full of gratitude on her face.
What I was seeing was real, not fake.
Their son actually put a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) on a plate for an auntie who was taking care of a child.
Wenren Teng's expression darkened instantly as he watched Wenren Chen eat his noodles in silence.
Sheng Mingying was completely shocked.
Her sixth son is naturally aloof, but aloofness doesn't mean he's unfilial.
He can do everything he's supposed to do, but he lacks the ability to express subtle emotions.
Just like some people love to say sweet words, her sixth child doesn't.
He only knows how to get things done.
He wouldn't do things like picking up food with his chopsticks.
It's simply impossible to do.
This is something a girl would do; a grown man like him wouldn't.
Wenren Teng wouldn't do it either.
As a mother, she wouldn't ask her son to do such a thing, nor would she think her son was bad just because he didn't.
To Sheng Mingying's surprise, her sixth child was now serving food to others right in front of her.
The person serving the food was an auntie with a child.
This completely shocked Sheng Mingying.
I can't accept it right away.
It was as if her son was going to marry an ugly, poor, and terrible girl; she was completely taken aback.
The atmosphere at the dining table became quiet, a quietness that even Zhou Yi could sense.
She stopped chewing and looked up at Sheng Mingying and Wenren Teng, only to see that the two elders looked very unwell.
One was shocked and incredulous, the other had a stern expression but suppressed anger, as if he might explode at any moment.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them were looking at Wenren Chen, she would have thought that the noodles she made were bad and there was something wrong with them.
However, even though the two elders weren't looking at her, she still felt uneasy.
Carefully putting down his chopsticks, he also placed the half-eaten xiaolongbao on his plate and sat properly in his chair, no longer eating.
As she stopped eating and lowered her head, Wenren Chen spoke.
"Not to your liking?"
Seemingly unaware of the unusual atmosphere at the dining table, Wenren Chen turned to look at the person beside him as Zhou Yi stopped eating.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yi quickly shook her head: "No, sir, the xiaolongbao is delicious."
After saying that, Zhou Yi thought of Sheng Mingying and Wenren Teng and looked at the two elders.
Wenren Chen looked at the liking on her face, and then felt uneasy.
His gaze shifted to the two elders, whose expressions changed again after he spoke: "If it's delicious, keep eating."
After saying that, he put another xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) on her plate.
Zhou Yi looked at the steamed buns on the plate and quickly said, "No need, sir, I'll get them myself."
As he spoke, he quickly picked up the half-eaten xiaolongbao and continued eating.
She stopped looking at Wenren Teng and Sheng Mingying and obediently ate her meal with her head down.
She was afraid that Wenren Chen would put more food on her plate again.
Wenren Chen watched the person continuing to eat, whose pink lips were stained with the soup from the xiaolongbao, making them even more moist and translucent.
He looked away and continued eating his noodles.
He remained silent in the face of the two elders' gazes.
The two continued their meal, as if everything that had just happened was Sheng Mingying's illusion.
But that's not the case.
This is real.
It actually happened.
At that moment, Sheng Mingying's heart was like a jumble of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, a mixture of all sorts of flavors.
Why would her sixth child serve xiaolongbao to a nanny who takes care of children?
Is it because of Yu Yu?
Because Zhou Yi took good care of Yu Yu, he took special care of Zhou Yi.
But even if you're being considerate, you don't need to serve xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), right?
Giving money, bonuses, and a raise will solve Zhou Yi's worries, which is perfectly fine.
He didn't need to put xiaolongbao on Zhou Yi's plate.
This gesture of picking up food is something you only do when you like someone.
But there's no way her sixth child could like Zhou Yi.
It's not that Zhou Yi is bad; Zhou Yi is a good girl.
But what kind of good girls hasn't her sixth child seen? Why would he like a girl from a very poor family, who has no parents and only a grandmother?
No one would believe this.
This is completely impossible.
So, Xiao Liu's actions were because of Yu Yu?
Or perhaps...
Because of Yu Yu's mom?
Sheng Mingying felt that it was about right.
Because I love my mother, I love my child, and that's why I'm so kind to the nanny who takes care of my child.
Of course, someone else might think of another possibility.
Falling in love with someone else, or becoming a substitute.
But they heard that people from other families are devoted to one person and wouldn't do that.
Her sixth child is the same.
Sheng Mingying is certain of this.
Otherwise, her sixth child wouldn't have been born at this age.
Xiao Liu didn't bring Yu Yu's mother back, but brought Yu Yu back directly. Then he immediately sent them to Shancheng and Yu'an County.
I was traveling in a small, obscure county town.
That was clearly Yu Yu's mother's hometown.
The fact that Yu Yu's mother was born in Yu'an County clearly indicates that she came from a poor family.
So Xiao Liu kept it a secret from them.
If Yu Yu's mother hadn't died in a car accident, Xiao Liu might still not know that Yu Yu's mother existed.
Unexpected events can happen at any time, and misfortune can strike at any moment. Who could have imagined that Yu Yu's mother would suddenly die in a car accident? Xiao Liu was unable to take care of the child, so he had no choice but to bring the child back to be recognized by his ancestors.
Not long after bringing Yuyu back, they found a young woman in her early twenties to be Yuyu's aunt.
If she hadn't personally sent someone to investigate, she would have found the whole thing very strange.
It's too easy for the Wen family to find a good maid; why would they possibly look for a young woman in her early twenties who has never been in a relationship, married, or had children?
This is simply a joke.
But that's the way it is.
She had no choice but to believe it, no matter how unwilling she was.
They went to Shancheng and Yu'an County this time, and she already had a guess in her mind.
Zhou Yi is probably related to Yu Yu's mother, which is why Xiao Liu takes such good care of Zhou Yi.
And now, at this moment.
Sheng Mingying felt that the truth was just as she had guessed.
Zhou Yi and Yu Yu's mother have an unusual relationship, which is why Yu Yu likes Zhou Yi so much, which is why Xiao Liu asked Zhou Yi to take care of Yu Yu, and which is why Xiao Liu personally went to resolve Zhou Yi's issues.
It's all because of Yu Yu's mom.
Including just now when I put xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) on Zhou Yi's plate.
At this moment, Sheng Mingying looked at Wenren Chen. In a short time, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she felt very complicated and upset.
I never imagined that Xiao Liu would love Yu Yu's mom so much, to this extent.
How can Xiao Liu start a new relationship in this situation?
How can I go on blind dates now?
In an instant, Sheng Mingying was in a complete mess.
Sheng Mingying was in a bind, while Wenren Teng's anger was rising, as if it might burst out at any moment and burn directly at Wenren Chen.
have a look!have a look!
He also said he wasn't in the mood for anything. If he wasn't in the mood for anything, why would he serve people xiaolongbao?
Does he not have hands? Does he have to pick it up himself?
One wasn't enough, so he added two more. It's obvious he has feelings for Zhou Yi.
Wenren Teng was holding chopsticks, and in his rage, the chopsticks snapped in his hand with a crack.
The sound of breaking fell instantly onto the dining table and reached Zhou Yi's ears.
Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Yi froze and immediately stopped moving.
With a steamed bun still in her mouth, one cheek was puffed out, making her look very cute.
However, no one is paying attention to her now; everyone is focused on Wenren Teng.
Several gazes at the dining table fell on Wenren Teng's face, including those of Wenren Chen, who was eating with his eyes down.
As the cracking sound reached his ears, Wenren Chen continued chewing and swallowing his noodles without any disturbance. Then, his deep gaze slowly and calmly fell on Wenren Teng's fiery face, without any emotion.
It seemed that no matter how much the fire burned, it couldn't burn him.
Seeing Wenren Chen's "righteous" demeanor, Wenren Tengqi's anger exploded instantly, and he said, "You..."
"Wenren Teng!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Mingying immediately interrupted him sharply.
In an instant, the chopsticks that Wenren Teng was about to throw at Wenren Chen were abruptly stopped.
He gripped his chopsticks tightly and looked at Sheng Mingying.
Sheng Mingying's face was very gloomy and frightening.
It's as if he's saying: If you dare to throw your chopsticks in Xiao Liu's face, I'll throw my divorce certificate in your face.
In an instant, Wenren Teng's anger was suppressed, unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.
However, although it can be suppressed, it cannot be eliminated.
He looked at Sheng Mingying, his mouth moved repeatedly, and finally he angrily said to Wenren Chen, "I'm full!"
Snapped!
A pair of chopsticks, broken into four pieces, was immediately slammed onto the dining table, and then a chair was violently pushed aside on the expensive marble floor, falling to the ground with a jarring and loud sound.
Wenren Teng stormed off in a rage!
He was so angry!
That unfilial son actually dared to lay a finger on that little girl! I'll break his legs!
Seeing Wenren Teng leave in a fit of rage, Sheng Mingying frowned and looked extremely grim.
He got angry while we were still eating breakfast. His temper has remained unchanged for decades!
However, Sheng Mingying also knew that Wenren Teng's anger was not without reason.
Everything has a reason.
Watching Wenren Teng disappear from sight with his hands behind his back, Sheng Mingying turned her gaze to Wenren Chen.
Wenren Chen watched Wenren Teng leave, his expression unchanged.
It seems that Wenren Teng's anger had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Wenren Chen's appearance, Sheng Mingying was not surprised.
Every time Wenren Teng gets angry at Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu is always the same, completely unaffected.
He will continue to do what he needs to do; he won't be afraid or stop doing things just because his father is angry.
He will not.
Sheng Mingying sighed and looked at Zhou Yi again.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Mingying felt a pang of heartache. Wenren Teng's fury had terrified Zhou Yi, and now Zhou Yi, pale-faced, watched Wenren Teng leave, too astonished to react.
This child is an honest child, and she has never seen Wenren Teng get so angry before, so it's normal for her to be scared.
Sheng Mingying originally wanted to continue eating breakfast, but seeing the two of them like this, she was worried that Wenrenteng might do something if he got angry. So she put down her chopsticks, took a napkin to wipe her lips, and said to Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, you and Xiao Liu have breakfast. I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, Sheng Mingying got up and left.
As Sheng Mingying left, Qi Ma also left.
Before leaving, she glanced at Zhou Yi, then at Wenren Chen.
Before long, only Zhou Yi and Wenren Chen remained in the restaurant.
It's quiet here.
Quiet Zhou Yi didn't know how to react.
She was terrified, really terrified.
With a loud "smack," the entire dining table shook, and her body trembled violently in fright.
As the chair tipped over, she trembled again.
Her heart pounded as she looked at the old man's furious expression, as if he wanted to devour her.
She dared not move at all.
Even when the master left and the old lady spoke, she dared not utter a sound.
It seemed as if everything would explode the moment she made a sound.
but.
With Sheng Mingying and Qi Ma gone, the restaurant was empty.
A deep voice came into my ears from beside me.
