Gu Nianzhi gave Xie Qingying face and followed her into the restaurant without saying anything.
Huo Jialan could hardly hold back the smile on her face, but she still couldn't bear to leave.
This time she went to France with her grandfather Huo Xuenong and lived in the Xie family's manor for nearly a year before she truly understood what it means to be a wealthy family.
Although the Huo family is not bad, and is even superior in terms of power, the Xie family's background is really not comparable to the current Huo family.
Maybe after a few generations, the Huo family can catch up with the Xie family, but now they can only accept defeat.
Xie Qingying was just a sideline of the Xie family. When she was in France, she followed her father Xie Dezhao to visit the direct lineage, and only then became familiar with Huo Jialan.
The two went shopping several times and drank coffee together in a cafe on the Champs Elysées.
If Huo Jialan is willing to make friends with someone, she can make you feel like you have met a close friend.
Xie Qingying is also a person who loves to make friends, so the two of them get along very harmoniously.
Today Xie Qingying came to University B to treat Gu Nianzhi to dinner, and happened to meet Huo Jialan.
When Huo Jialan heard that she was here to treat Gu Nianzhi to dinner, she immediately said that she was very familiar with Gu Nianzhi and that she hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi for a long time. Today, she just took the opportunity of Xie Qingying's treat to meet her once.
Xie Qingying agreed immediately and said: "Eating requires a large number of people to make it lively."
She likes the feeling of a big family eating lively around the table.
When they were at the Xie family's old house, their whole family could sit at several tables.
When he saw Gu Nianzhi, he was in such a state.
Although Xie Qingying didn't say a word, she had already decided to distance herself from Huo Jialan.
She could tell that Gu Nianzhi had a very bad impression of Huo Jialan.
And of course she was on Gu Nianzhi's side, so this decision was natural.
The three of them sat down in a Japanese-style private room in the restaurant.
Xie Qingying took the menu and asked Gu Nianzhi to order.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it and ordered some Huaiyang dishes.
The dry shredded silk is simmered in pure white soup. The dried shredded silk is particularly good at knife skills. It is cut as thin as a hair and is very delicious.
There is also the squirrel mandarin fish that must be ordered every time you eat Huaiyang cuisine. The mandarin fish is cut with a cross knife, coated in egg powder, fried in a pan, and then poured with a bright red sauce. It really looks like a squirrel. Tail.
Finally, I ordered a crab-meat lion head, which is also a Huaiyang dish. There were only four small crab-meat lion heads in a stew pot. I scooped them into a smaller bowl with a spoon. Each bowl had a small crab-meat lion head. Gu Nianzhi used to be very special. I like it, I wish it could be a staple food.
However, Huo Shaoheng was strict with her and had to follow rules when eating. Overeating was even more impossible.
So Gu Nianzhi was just thinking about it.
Huo Shaoheng was not around today, and she also felt that it was okay for her to indulge occasionally. Anyway, she would have to go back to school after eating and run around the playground three times to eliminate food...
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi ordered only side dishes, Huo Jialan said enthusiastically, "Why don't you eat stewed turtle here? There is also casserole of wild duck. They are all Huaiyang dishes that test kung fu."
Xie Qingying asked the waiter to add the two dishes ordered by Huo Jialan, and ordered meat as an appetizer, free-range chicken with lotus leaves as one of the main dishes, and a dish of snow clam and bird's nest as dessert.
These dishes are the usual signature dishes of this type of restaurant and are well prepared so they are served quickly.
The three of them were eating and talking.
Because they were eating out, Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying did not abide by the rule of "eating without talking or sleeping without talking" and they were quite happy talking.
"Cousin, will you leave when you come back this time?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. She knew that Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying had returned from abroad, but they still had business in China.
Xie Qingying came to a blind date to find her husband when she reached the age of marriage.
She was not familiar with Gu Nianzhi before and had no intention of getting close, so they were only casual acquaintances and had never spoken to each other.
Now because of the matter in court, Gu Nianzhi's quick reaction allowed Xie Qingying to get rid of a big basin of dirty water, and suddenly the distance between the two of them was narrowed.
Therefore, Xie Qingying complained to Gu Nianzhi without hesitation: "... This time my mommy said that if I don't find a husband, I won't be allowed to return to France."
She made a crying face, which made Gu Nianzhi giggle with joy.
Huo Jialan listened for a long time, and then he intervened and said: "Qingying, you have such a good condition, aren't there a lot of young talents in the country for you to choose from? Don't be too picky, as long as you have good character, everything else Your family doesn’t care either.”
Gu Nianzhi didn't listen to these words, and Xie Qingying's face paled a little, and said: "How can I be so good? Where are all the young talents? I have never seen..."
Gu Nianzhi just chewed slowly and ate a lion's head with crab meat. Her taste buds were extremely fresh and her appetite was strong. She took aim at the second one and scooped it out. She said with a smile: "You can't say that. In addition to being a good person and good-looking, He must be good-looking and handsome, his voice must be pleasant, his work must be outstanding, and his family background must be evenly matched. Only such a man is worthy of my rich and beautiful cousin, who is both talented and beautiful, right?”
Xie Qingying was very happy when Gu Nianzhi said it, and said with a smile: "You are really good at talking, and you always use parallelism when you speak. My Chinese is not very good, and I really need to learn from you."
After hearing Gu Nianzhi's criteria for choosing a mate, Huo Jialan curled her lips and said, "Where in the world can such a good man be found? Nianzhi, don't delay Qingying by making a big deal."
She sighed and continued: "The handsome ones come from bad family backgrounds, or they have good personalities but have no ability. The more handsome, capable, and well-established people have bad personalities and like to hang out with others." 4. Therefore, the scope of mate selection for women of our class is really quite small."
"No way?" Gu Nianzhi raised his long eyebrows in surprise, "Miss Huo, who do you know here? They don't sound very good!"
Huo Jialan's face turned blue: "I'm talking about a common phenomenon now! Do you recognize a top-notch man who is handsome, capable, and has a good family background? - This is no longer a man, but a male god."
She only recognizes one person in her life, but that person doesn't belong to her...
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and then said, "I actually know quite a few of them."
Huo Jialan: "... One is great, but you know several of them?! - Are your standards particularly low?"
Not to be outdone, Gu Nianzhi said, "Why is it that my standards are low? Isn't it because your circle of friends is particularly low?"
Huo Jialan blushed suddenly and said angrily: "Why are you swearing?"
"Where did I scold you?" Gu Nianzhi took a spoon and ate the crab meat lion's head. After swallowing, he said: "What I said is the truth, but you don't accept it and say that other people's standards are low."
Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Xie Qingying changed the subject with a headache: "Aren't you talking about my blind date? What are you arguing about? Come on, let me tell you a few alternatives, and you can help me refer to them."
Xie Qingying has turned 26 this year and will be 27 soon during the Chinese New Year. She is also a little anxious.
Daughters of the Xie family have no worries about getting married, but being able to get married and marrying well are two different things.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Jialan were women after all, and were naturally interested in this kind of topic. They put down their chopsticks and looked at her, waiting for her to elaborate.
Xie Qingying came back to China specifically to testify for Gu Nianzhi, but the blind date hadn't even started yet.
But seeing the interested looks on both their faces, Xie Qingying thought hard and just found a name when she heard someone knocking at the door.
"Come in." Xie Qingying thought it was a waiter from the restaurant, but the Japanese paper door opened and a thin and elegant man came in.
Huo Jialan didn't know this person, but both Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying knew him.
This person is Special Assistant Yang who works next to Chairman Long of the Upper House of Parliament.
He walked to their table, and a crisp voice sounded above them.
"Ms. Xie, are you having dinner with your friends?"
Xie Qingying nodded hurriedly, "Special Assistant Yang is here to eat too? This place is a bit far from the parliament."
"I'm here to entertain my junior students for dinner. They are all law undergraduates from University B." Assistant Yang glanced at Gu Nianzhi as if to express that only authentic undergraduates from University B can be considered undergraduates from University B. , Masters and Ph.D.s who have passed external examinations are not worthy of calling themselves B college students.
Gu Nianzhi pretended not to see it and ignored Assistant Yang's insinuations.
Assistant Yang withdrew his gaze, looked at Xie Qingying intently, and smiled very gently, "Miss Xie, do you want to come and meet my juniors?"
Xie Qingying's stepmother is Speaker Long's distant cousin.
It was only right that Special Assistant Yang was so familiar with her.
Xie Qingying didn't want to go there, she smiled and looked up and said, "I have guests here, maybe next time."
Special Assistant Yang glanced at Gu Nianzhi and Huo Jialan, smiled and said, "Who are these two? Miss Xie, can you introduce them?"
