Chapter 248: Chapter 253: You Lack Sincerity Chapter 248: Chapter 253: You Lack Sincerity Chen Yingjie nearly exploded, âGrandpa, donât talk nonsense, sheâs my sister-in-law!â
A single mention of âsister-in-lawâ brought a blush to Sheng Ningâs cheeks.
Su Huaiâan took in her expression thoroughly, his thoughts turning over a few times.
âOf course! Who doesnât know sheâs engaged to Living Yama! This lad really has some good fortune on his side!â Mr. Su finally understood why Shen Feihu was so biasedâit would be hard not to favor someone if he had such a capable major under his command.
âAlways yapping,â Mr. Su wasnât content with letting Old Master Chen be the only one to catch attention, he shot a glare at him, then turned to Sheng Ning with a smile. âIs this Sichuan cuisine? I had it once when I was in Sichuan.â
âThatâs right!â Looking at Mr. Su, the smile on Sheng Ningâs face seemed a bit forced.
Although she hid it well, in front of this group of sharp people, her façade was like thin air.
âAlright! Stop yapping and letâs start eating!â Chen Huaying was already somewhat impatient, wielding her chopsticks.
âExactly⊠all this chatter is killing me!â Lu Dabao gleamed at the beef, drool nearly escapng.
It was her first time discovering Sheng Ningâs culinary skills, and she inwardly resolved. From now on, Sheng Ning was going to be her best buddyâsheâd be inseparable from her.
Put plainly, she would stick to her no matter what.
Often, itâs the thin and small people who are the real food lovers, able to eat without gaining weight.
âGreat!â Mr. Chen instructed Chen Yingjie to bring out a bottle of liquor. âA fifty-year Moutai, I got this on a stroke of luck, letâs open it today!â
âExcellent! Iâve been coveting this for a long time.â
After pouring drinks for the two elders, Chen Yingjie was about to start eating, when Su Hai walked in, draped in the blanket of snow from outside.
As he pushed open the door, snowflakes followed him in. Xiao Liu, along with Mr. Suâs orderly, had gone to the General Union canteen for food and hadnât come back yet.
Chen Yingjie dutifully got up to make room, adding a seat and utensils for Su Hai. Su Huaiâan stood up to give up his seat but was stopped by Su Hai.
âUncle Su, would you take my seat?â Chen Huaying offered.
Su Hai raised an eyebrow, âYou obviously donât mean that; only after your brother set up my place did you stand up.â
âHe he he⊠you got me!â Chen Huaying chuckled foolishly.
Mr. Su looked at his youngest sonâs arrival with bewilderment, âWhy are you here? Didnât the aunt at home make food?â
âItâs not tasty.â Su Hai, eyeing the fully laid out table, naturally picked up some radish strips with his chopsticks and tasted it.
âNot bad!â he put the chopsticks down and praised, âThis dish is great as a side dish for drinking; Iâll take some home in a doggy bag later.â
âShameless!â Old Master Chen fumed with anger, his mustache bristling.
Su Hai just laughed elegantly at the comment and continued to enjoy the beef. âThis is also good, itâs just that thereâs not much of it; itâll be gone in no time with this many people.â
Even Mr. Su got angry now, âYou shameless, we havenât even started eating!â Who is this? Shamelessly the first one to start eating.
âEh? This peanut, I think I heard our President mention it before, heâs been talking about it ever since he came back from the War Wolf Rescue Team.â
Mr. Su and Old Master Chen exchanged glances, their eyes communicating silently.
âLook at your youngest son, heâs really out of line!â
âIndeed! Itâs too much, I really regret having such a rascal!â
âArenât you always praising him to high heaven?â
âThatâs because I was blind! I formally retract everything Iâve ever said.â
