Toronto is one of the most livable cities in the world, ahead of Auckland. There are as many as 400,000 Chinese people living in this city. Chinatown on Second Street and the four small Chinatowns in the surrounding suburbs are where Chinese residents mainly live and move.
Lu Yuan and Lao Ye chose the restaurant at the entrance of Chinatown, which could not only ensure the flow of business customers, but also maintain a reasonable distance from the outside world to expand their influence. The antique storefront has a tall facade, luxurious decoration, and the scale of the nine-story building is unique in this old street.
Li Muyuan parked the car in the public parking lot at the corner of the street. The two siblings got out of the car and came to the Chinese restaurant. Li Muyuan was dumbfounded when they looked at the magnificent building with blue bricks and glazed glass. He asked quietly: "Brother, is this the business of my sister-in-law's family?"
"Sister, why are you nervous? Your brother is a top chef. Although their family has a lot of money, she and her father will never underestimate us." Li Muye pulled his sister inside and said: " Don’t worry, just go back to your own home and say whatever you want.”
Xiaofen had already had a full stomach and was waiting at the door with Lu Yuan. Today's occasion was a family banquet, so Lao Ye and Chunyu Bingbing didn't come because they felt it was not appropriate to be there. Lu Yuan knew Li Muye's life experience and could completely understand how much Li Muye valued this eldest sister. Especially when he heard that Li Muyuan was here to talk about marriage today, he felt very happy.
Li Muye, that bastard, made Xiaofen's belly so big that he ran away without a trace without even a fart. Lao Lu had no place to dump his grievances. In daily contact with Xiaofen, I dare not mention a word about this matter. The last time I raised my eyebrow, I slapped the three-inch-thick nanmu table into pieces, almost causing the fetus to swell.
This girl is willing to give birth to a child for that bastard with no reputation or status. He, the cheap grandfather, won't let her talk, but he can't stop the worry in his heart. Lu Yuan had already dug out the eighteenth generation of Li Muye's ancestors in his heart and paid his respects to them. But just greetings are useless. A girl with no future is willing to be treated as a child. She would rather suffer no matter how wronged she is, rather than embarrass that thief man in the slightest. That's why that little bastard is so confident.
The appearance of Li Muyuan filled a major gap. Li Muye finally had a nemesis who could stop him, and Lao Lu Yuan suddenly found an organization.
There is a sign on the door, the owner has a distinguished guest and will be closed for one day. There were lanterns and colorful decorations in front of the door, and the boss lowered his rank to welcome him.
Such pomp and circumstance shocked Sister Muyuan, who had never seen much of the world. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, until she saw Xiaofen, who had given birth to a pair of exaggeratedly long legs, showing her belly to Lu Yuan, who was also tall. Appearing at the door, he rubbed his eyes, tried his best to appear neither humble nor arrogant, but still friendly, and walked forward.
"You are Sister Muyuan, right!" Lao Lu's hair turned white. The moment he saw Li Muye standing respectfully behind Li Muyuan, he immediately realized that the distinguished guest had arrived and hurriedly walked forward and stretched out his hands to shake Li Muyuan's hand. , said: "My in-laws, I have been looking forward to having you here. I received a call last night. I was so happy that I barely slept a wink all night."
This father-in-law is too enthusiastic. Li Muyuan was a little confused and turned to look at his brother. He came from a wealthy family, and Li Muyuan was afraid that what he said was inappropriate and would lose his brother's face.
"Hello, eldest sister, I am Xiaofen, and this is my father, Lu Yuan." The assistant came over quickly and took over the conversation, and also resolved the discomfort and embarrassment caused by Lu Yuan's excessive enthusiasm to Li Muyuan, and said: "You Don't listen to my father, things between me and Da, Um, Makino haven't been decided yet, so don't feel pressured or restricted."
My stomach is like this, why haven't I decided yet? Li Muyuan suddenly became worried. He turned around and rolled his eyes at his younger brother, wondering if you had offended someone and let the girl pick on him. He quickly pretended to be distressed and frightened: "Oh, you kid, your stomach is like this, why can't you get it out? Come on, come in, it's freezing outside, don't get frozen."
Lu Yuan was happy: "Hey, it's my sister who knows how cold it is and how hot it is."
Li Muyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "Hello, uncle, I am Li Muyuan, Li Muye's sister. My younger brother is a bastard. I am here to compensate you on his behalf."
Lu Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said in return: "We can't talk about it, we can't talk about it. My sister-in-law has spoken too harshly. This is not the place to talk. I have prepared a banquet inside. Let's talk slowly at the banquet table."
The four of them entered the store and took the elevator directly to the ninth floor. In front of the splendid banquet hall, Li Muye frowned slightly and said, "The place is too big. It looks awkward for the four of us sitting in there. It's hard to talk when we sit across from each other." It’s hard work, but since there are no outsiders, just find a small table by the window.”
Lao Lu explained: "I heard that my sister-in-law was coming, so I closed the store for a day and freed up the best private room. I even asked my partner Lao Ye and his wife to come to accompany us. People said this is our home. It’s inconvenient to come to the banquet, otherwise it wouldn’t be so empty.” He smiled at Li Muyuan and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be picky, we have only been in North America for half a year, so we really don’t have any relatives or friends.”
Li Muyuan hurriedly said politely: "Uncle, you are too polite, and I don't dare to accept it. What kind of distinguished guest am I? You have such a big business, and you have to suffer so much loss if you close the store for one day. I can't bear it."
Lu Yuan thought to himself, I don't even feel sorry for him if he is closed down. Anyway, whatever you lose is your brother's money. But he said: "It should be, it should be."
Xiaofen coughed lightly and said: "Listen to Makino, ask the chef to reduce the dishes. Don't add the ginseng and abalone wings. Leave a few important dishes and put them on the table by the window facing the sun." "My eldest sister loves to eat dumplings, so I asked them to pack a piece of frozen amberjack to make meat fillings." Then he asked Li Muyuan respectfully and gently: "Sister, do you prefer steamed or boiled?"
"Let's cook it." Li Muyuan turned to look at Li Muye, with a look of inquiry in his eyes. He was obviously confused by the words "Bingjianhanhao".
Li Muye said: "Don't go to so much trouble. Eating dumplings tastes like home. My sister loves prawns the most. Just make some prawn stuffing."
Himi amberjack is a migratory fish species produced in the Japanese waters. The production is very limited. It only appears between November and December every year. The catch amount is very limited. In ancient times, it was presented to the generals and emperors as high-quality food. Now it is used in Japan is also a top-quality food ingredient. Restaurants all over Japan are proud to be able to serve "ice and cold amberjack". Amberjack is also found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada. Although it is also a top-quality ingredient, its taste and texture are inferior to those from Japan.
Because Lu Yuan and his daughter valued Li Muyuan, they naturally chose the best and rarest dishes when preparing dishes. As a result, high-end dishes such as ginseng and abalone wings, which have always been high-end and not suitable for ordinary people, can no longer be served.
A total of nine dishes were left, the one that flew in the sky was the first, and the one that ran underground was the finale, and the meaning lasted forever. Li Muyuan had never heard of or seen anything. But although she was shocked, her mind was not on eating. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but ask Xiaofen: "Sister is a straight-headed person and can't keep things in mind. Girl, you just said that the matter between you two has not been decided yet." What does down mean?”
Xiaofen was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Muye. When she saw Li Muye turning his eyes towards her sister, she smiled knowingly and said, "Don't he have to listen to you? You should be able to see my father's attitude." , I’m already like this, you said I can have other ideas, mainly because I still don’t know what you mean, so I don’t dare to make a decision.”
Li Muyuan suddenly realized it and thought to himself, this cheap deal is really rarer than pie in the sky, what do I have to disagree with. Apart from being extremely tall, this girl is perfect in other aspects. In fact, being tall is also an advantage, but when the two of them stand together, the man looks weaker. But this is better. My younger brother is not a light-saving lamp. I need to find a powerful girl to take care of him. Judging from the tone of this little girl when she decided to change tables just now, she is also a powerful boss at home.
"So that's it. Then does it mean that after the eldest sister has decided, the matter between you two can be settled?" Li Muyuan immediately seized the opportunity and said.
Xiaofen's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "I completely listen to Makino."
Li Muye said: "I listen to eldest sister."
Li Muyuan did not rush to make a decision. He looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Dad, can the matter between my brother and your daughter be settled?"
Lu Yuan said hurriedly: "I also listen to my eldest sister."
Li Muyuan was a little embarrassed. He had never seen such a humble and prudent rich man. The girl had such good conditions, but it seemed that she couldn't get married. Looking at his younger brother sitting next to him, he murmured in his heart: My brother looks good, but this girl's family is too high-ranking. Isn't there something special about the child in her belly
Li Muye took a bite of food for Xiaofen and said, "Eat some of this seaweed. I saw the indigenous people picking it when I passed by the Coral Sea last time. It must grow on a sea cliff fifty meters deep. The entire coral Hundreds of kilograms can be harvested from the sea in a year, so if you eat more, it will be especially good for our baby."
Xiao Fen was immediately moved and ate sheepishly. Then he picked up some of the public chopsticks and put it on Li Muyuan's plate, saying, "Sister, you can try it too."
Li Muyuan rolled his eyes and said: "Everything I eat is the same. No matter how good the food is, it can't taste good. You are pregnant with a child. Eat more. Our Li family is looking forward to you giving birth to more fat boys." Woolen cloth."
Xiaofen glanced at the slightly embarrassed and helpless Li Muye, smiled sweetly, and seized the opportunity to say, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I'm in good health. As long as Muye is willing, it's no problem to give birth to ten or eight children."
"Oh, that's great. Yes, yes, yes, I'll give birth to a few more, and my eldest sister will take care of you." Li Muyuan laughed and said, "This girl has a real heart, and I have the same temper, so we are not a family." Don't enter a house." After saying that, he took out a red cloth bag from his pocket, opened it, took out a gold ring, handed it to Xiaofen's hand, and said: "Fena, put this ring away. Don't despise small ones, like big ones. When Makino has money, he can buy it for you. This ring is quite special. It was passed down from my grandma. When it got into the hands of that woman, I forced her to keep it when she left. It’s just for today’s occasion.” As he spoke, he even shed a few tears.
This is an ancestral item, a treatment only a formal wife can have. Neither Diana nor He Xiaoqi had a chance to get it. As for the White Snow King and Red Leaves, let alone the likes. The little assistant was flattered and felt a sense of happiness falling from the sky. Suddenly, he was ahead of all his opponents by countless positions. He quickly stood up and took it with both hands, not daring to put it on immediately. He first glanced at Li Muye pretending to be innocent.
"Just put it on for you." Li Muye cursed secretly, they are all drama queens. But he said: "This is my sister's wish, just don't dislike it."
Xiaofen hurriedly put it on her finger happily. The size was a little inappropriate. She put it on hard and said: "Oh, the size is just right. I like this kind of old-style jewelry the best. Sister, you are really good to me." Well, my mother passed away early. You are so many years older than me, just like my mother. I will be blessed to marry into your family."
Oh, let me go, you almost made me sour from the last night’s meal. Li Muye couldn't bear to look at her. This fierce girl didn't know who she learned this business from. Her sister was completely convinced by her. She was smiling from ear to ear, and regardless of the fact that the marriage was not yet done, she just changed her name to younger brother and sister. Sit over and hold hands, as if you like something.
Even Lao Lu can't stand it anymore. This kid is so good at causing trouble. On the one hand, I feel happy for my daughter, but on the other hand, I feel a little bit sad to leave her. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when I think of a girl who has been raised like this and ended up becoming someone else's family.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Li Muyuan remembered the purpose of coming here today. He originally wanted to pick someone up, but when he saw their conditions and pomp, he couldn't help but hesitate a little after thinking about his own situation. Finally, Lu Yuan took the initiative, prompted by Xiaofen's little gesture under the table: "Sister-in-law, it's already afternoon, aren't you here to pick up the child? I've packed everything, and it's in the parking lot in the backyard. It's in there, I've prepared some gifts for the two children, please accept them on your behalf."
Li Muye remembered the card given by Li Zhonghua, took it out and quietly handed it to Li Muyuan, hinting that she should give it to him. Li Muyuan didn't know how much money there was here, so he took it knowingly and pretended to take it out of his pocket. After thinking about it, he handed it directly to Xiaofen and said, "There is some money here. The eldest sister represents the old Li family." A little thought for you. You just got married. From now on, you will open your life and have more places to use your money. Please put it away." Turning to Li Muye, he asked: "What's the password? How could I forget it?"
Li Muye smiled and said, "Isn't this the money you saved for me? The password must be my birthday."
Li Muyuan looked like he suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, look at my memory. I've become confused even before I'm old enough, and I'm letting my father-in-law see the joke."
Xiaofen took a look at the pink diamond card that represented the status of the Swiss Bank's supreme VIP customer, and immediately thought of the origin of the money. She smiled knowingly, took it with both hands and put it away, saying: "Thank you, sister, I will definitely follow you." Live a good life, Makino.”
Li Muyuan said: "Not having enough melon seeds is a sign of kindness, and having more money and having less money is the sincerity of our old Li family in welcoming you into our home."
Xiaofen stroked the ring on her finger and said with a smile: "Actually, I am content with this ring. As long as I follow Makino, my life will be sweet no matter what."
Lu Yuan said: "Let's go, my sister-in-law gave me a gift. It's my turn, the father-in-law. Let's go to the parking lot to see the gifts I prepared for the children."
In the parking lot, a huge silver and black car is parked there... (End of this chapter)
