It was already afternoon when we arrived in City B. We were delayed for a while before going to the company. It was almost 8 o'clock when we got home, and both brothers and sisters were very hungry.
The apartment they bought was well-decorated and fully equipped with furniture and kitchen utensils, but the refrigerator was empty and there was no food stored in the house. The hungry brother and sister had no choice but to go out to solve the problem of food and clothing.
After all, they are people who have been to City B several times. If nothing else, they still know where to find delicious food. In the past, Zhao Chengning always took them throughout B City, with the intention of eating all the delicacies in B City.
Both brothers and sisters are extremely spicy people, so they drove to a century-old store in City B that they had visited before.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man in his 50s, a little fat, with a beer belly, and he smiles a bit like a jingle cat. Shen Jingping likes him very much. Although Zhao Chengning only brought them here once, because their appearance was so outstanding, the boss remembered them just once.
8 o'clock is still the peak time for dinner. When the two of them came to the store, there were many customers waiting at the counter. The boss, who was greeting the customers with the waiter, only felt two bright figures appear in his peripheral vision, so he subconsciously looked past.
Seeing this, he immediately opened his mouth with joy. He threw the customer in his hand to the waiter and went to greet him.
The store was mysteriously quiet for a few seconds because of the two people's appearance. The boss came forward to say hello to the two of them and led them directly to the private room.
A well-known shop like this usually has one or two private rooms specially prepared for people. The shop owner has a very good impression of the brother and sister. Now there is no other place except a special private room. If they are left waiting outside like this, they will be watched by who knows how many people. The shop owner feels weird when he thinks about that scene. Feeling that everything was wasted, he took it upon himself to boldly take the two of them to the private room of Zhao's family.
Anyway, he estimated that these two people must have something to do with the Zhao family, otherwise he would not have seen Second Young Master Zhao bring them here in person last time, and also personally help serve and pick up the food.
After sitting down, the Shen brothers and sisters were so hungry that they ordered seven or eight dishes at once before giving up. The shop owner smiled and chatted with them for a few words before going out.
Shen Jingchen raised her head and looked at the private room and said, "Is this the same private room we sat in last time we came here?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingbin also looked around, "The decorations of hotel rooms are generally similar, so you may be overthinking them."
"Really? But look, there are so many people waiting outside. Why do we have a seat as soon as we arrive? Have you reserved a seat in advance?"
Shen Jingping shook her head, "No, but I think it's probably because I'm so beautiful."
"…I refuse to talk to you."
On this side, the shop owner went to the kitchen to order Yajian's dishes to be cooked first. As soon as he came out with the instructions, his personal phone rang. When he looked at the screen, hey, what a coincidence, it was the call from Mr. Zhao's assistant.
"Hello, Second Young Master."
"Boss Liu, I'm going to trouble you tonight. My grandpa suddenly wanted to eat your food. Yajian, do you still have some left? We'll come over in a minute. The food will be the same as before, with the addition of longan, red dates and lotus seed soup."
Boss Liu was stunned, "That second young master, you just said that you would be coming later?"
Damn it, this is going to cause trouble!
Zhao Chengning seemed to notice something and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Boss Liu thought for a while and said, "Well, that's it. Second Young Master, I just gave your private room to someone else."
Zhao Chengning replied with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Boss Liu, when did you start doing this business?"
Offending Zhao Chengning was obviously a very unwise choice. Boss Liu quickly explained: "No, Second Young Master, please listen to my explanation. You just brought the brother and sister who came last time to our restaurant for dinner. You also know It's a busy time now, and there's nowhere else to sit except in the private room. I saw that they had been busy all day, so I thought they were your friends, and your private room happened to be empty, so I took them there... "
"You mean the brother and sister I brought here last time?"
"Yes, Miss Shen and Mr. Shen."
Zhao Chengning held the phone for a moment. Are they coming to city B? Why didn't I receive any news when they arrived
Boss Liu didn't hear his answer, so he shouted again with a little uneasiness, "Mr. Zhao?"
"If it's them, that's no problem. You take care of the dishes and I'll come over now."
"Oh oh oh, okay. Mr. Zhao, it's my fault this time. I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind."
Zhao Chengning stood up from his seat, took the suit and car keys he took off in one hand, held up the phone in the other hand and said, "It's okay, that's it. Boss Liu, please serve the food more slowly, I'll get here as soon as possible." Then he hung up. He picked up the phone and walked out of his office very quickly.
Boss Liu listened to the beeping sound on the phone and was about to cry. He sighed and turned back to the kitchen. Under the contemptuous eyes of the chef, he asked them to put the dishes in Yajian to the end.
Hey, it’s not easy to open a restaurant these days!
The Shen brothers and sisters waited in the private room for a long time but no food was served. They couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. The food was served very quickly when they came here last time! Apart from the taste, another big reason for their choice today was that he served the food quickly enough. They were almost starving to death. If they kept going like this, they might really have to pay attention to the news tomorrow.
Shen Jingchen lay weakly on the table and said, "Why aren't the dishes served yet? How about you go and hurry them up?"
Shen Jingping rolled her eyes at him, "Why don't you go?"
"I'm so hungry that I can't walk. If I had known that the food would be served so slowly, I would have found another restaurant."
"I'd have known where so many of them came from."
Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door, and the two of them were shocked: Is the food here
With a "creak", the door was pushed open, and the two of them looked at the door with bright eyes...
As soon as Zhao Chengning opened the door, he was frightened by the green eyes of the two people inside. This was really the first time he saw them like this.
"You... what's going on?" Zhao Chengning held the door handle, stopped, and asked.
When they found out that the food was not served, the two of them were like deflated balloons, and Shen Jingchen lay down on the ground.
Shen Jingping said: "We thought the food was coming... Why are you here?"
Zhao Chengning stepped in, closed the door, walked to her and sat down next to her, "We originally wanted to come for dinner tonight, but Boss Liu said that our private room was given to you, so I came over to take a look."
"Your private room?" Shen Jingping looked at him.
Zhao Chengning nodded, "This private room is specially prepared for our family. My grandpa likes spicy food and often comes here to eat."
Shen Jingchen shouted: "Hey hey hey, I just said this looks very similar to the one last time, and you are telling me that the decoration is the same, huh."
Shen Jingping ignored him and said, "Well, what should we do now? We have taken your place."
Zhao Chengning looked at her with a smile, "It doesn't matter, let's eat together."
"Okay, okay, our food hasn't been served yet anyway, so it's just right to eat together." Shen Jingchen shouted.
Shen Jingbin noticed that he had just used the word "we tonight", which meant that he was not the only one. "Besides you, is anyone else coming?"
"No one else but members of our family."
Zhao Chengning said it calmly, but the brother and sister felt a chill on their backs. Did their family mean that his mother was also coming
As if he had read through their thoughts, Zhao Chengning nodded, "Well, my mother is coming too."
Oh no, don't! Is it too late for them to change stores now
It turned out that it was too late. Those with sharp ears had already heard footsteps and voices outside the door.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the door was opened again.
"A Ning, have you ordered all the dishes? I asked you to add longan..." Zhao's father walked in first. Before he could finish his instructions, he was startled back by the two extra people, "Xiaochen and Xiao Is Jing there too?"
"What, Xiao Chen Xiao Jing?" Behind Father Zhao was Mr. Zhao. As soon as he heard what Father Zhao said, Mr. Zhao pushed away Father Zhao who was blocking him, "Oh, it's really Xiao Chen and Xiao Jing. ! An Ning, you are so serious, why didn’t you tell us when Xiaochen and Xiaojing came?" Mr. Zhao glared at Zhao Chengning, who was sitting next to Shen Jingbing, as if accusingly.
Zhao Chengning was very innocent: I just found out.
"Grandpa Zhao, Uncle Zhao, it's not An Ning's fault. We didn't tell him, and he just found out." Shen Jingbing felt that Zhao Chengning was unjust, so she took the initiative to explain.
However, the way she explained changed in the eyes of Mr. Zhao and Father Zhao.
Ouch, isn't this the look of a little daughter-in-law who is anxious to explain because she is afraid that they will wrongly accuse Zhao Chengning
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "No blame, no blame, we don't blame him, don't worry."
Shen Jingbin Black Question Mark: I'm just explaining, there's no rush.
Zhao Chengning suddenly had the urge to cover his face.
After Mr. Zhao and Father Zhao entered the door, there was no one behind them. Zhao Chengning looked at it and asked, "Where are mom and brother?" He came directly from the company, and his family members were all left to Zhao Chengan.
After sitting down, Father Zhao said: "When we arrived at the door, your mother received a call from Aunt Jane, saying that mother and daughter were also nearby. Your mother said that we happened to have dinner together, so she asked your brother to pick them up."
As he spoke, Father Zhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Shen Jingbin and said, "Xiao Jing, you must have met Jian Cishu, right? She is Aning's sister."
"I know, Uncle Zhao." Shen Jingping replied calmly, but her heart was about to collapse.
Damn it, why are there more and more people! She just wants to have a meal! Why is she having such twists and turns during her meal? ! ! !
Mr. Zhao was not satisfied with the Jian family and said unhappily: "Our family is having dinner, why are they coming to join in the fun? Call Chengan to come back."
The old man's words were full of anger, and Father Zhao looked at his father dumbfounded.
Dad, when you said this, did you ever think that the two children of the Shen family were still here
Humph, they are not from other people's families, they are all one family sooner or later.
The key point is that the two children don't know. What if there is a misunderstanding
snort! Grandpa Zhao snorted proudly.
Father Zhao sighed and said, "Your grandfather is having trouble again."
Shen Jingbin looked at Mr. Zhao, then at Father Zhao, and finally at Zhao Chengning who chose to smile and said nothing, while Shen Jingchen no longer had the strength to speak.
Jian's mother said that she was nearby, which was probably true, but Zhao Chengan came with people after a while.
Mother Zhao, who was holding Jian Cishu and chatting and laughing, all smiles froze on her face after entering the door and seeing the Shen brothers and sisters. Jian Cishu and Jian's mother were also frozen.
Shen Jingbin felt that as a junior, she should say hello first, so she stood up on her own initiative.
"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Jian."
