Chapter Ninety-Eight. Happiness knows no bounds

While Andy Lau was busy dealing with those gossip reporters, Chen Xuanting rarely had a long day of leisure.

When he returned home, he saw his father Chen Darong sitting stiffly on the sofa with his hands on his hands and wool; Next to her, Sister-in-law Zhen was wrapping yarn with her hands and feet, while Zhou Xiuna, a lively and lovely future young model, was kneeling at the coffee table and doing her homework. Look at the TV from time to time, this is the time when the cartoon is playing.

The sound of Chen Xuanting closing the door alarmed Chen Darong and them, and Nana immediately ran over with a smile to help Chen Xuanting take the bag and take the slippers. Live a cute little girl. It seems that she has completely fallen in love with Chen Xuanting, the fake big brother.

After taking the slippers, Nana said childishly: "Brother has worked hard, welcome home." He also said, "Mom won't let me watch TV, she has to let me do my homework!" ”

Chen Xuanting reached out and twisted her smooth little face, and said with a smile: "When I look at it after I finish my homework--- I know that Nana is a good student!" ”

After receiving Chen Xuanting's compliment, Nana immediately giggled.

Sister-in-law Zhen hurriedly put the wool on the coffee table, quickly put her feet into the slippers, stood up and laughed: "Ah Ting, have you eaten?" ”

Chen Xuanting shook his head.

Sister-in-law Zhen glanced at Chen Darong on the sofa and said, "Ah Ting didn't squeak when he came back, I only cared about you knitting sweaters, and I didn't prepare anything." ”

Chen Darong smirked: "It's all family." It's not a guest, what are you going to prepare?! You can eat anything! ”

Chen Xuanting smiled: "It's still my dad who understands me---- sister-in-law, I don't have to be so troublesome when I come back in the future, what should you do!" ”

"Hey, I remember!" Sister-in-law Zhen's background in selling fish, always felt that Chen Xuanting had a temperament different from that of people in the market, and she would be nervous unconsciously.

Looking at Chen Xuanting again, he nodded slightly. He took Nana by the hand and sat down on the sofa and said, "Buy Nana a desk tomorrow, and go to the room to write her homework later." ”

Since there is more "sister", Chen Xuanting has unconsciously replaced himself in the role of the eldest brother, and he can't help but feel a little distressed when he sees her doing her homework like this.

Sister-in-law Zhen hurriedly said yes. It can be seen that she is really grateful to Chen Xuanting for her care for Nana. Before entering the Chen family, she had been nervous, afraid that Chen Xuanting would be cold to their mother and daughter, but such a thing did not happen, Chen Darong couldn't help but love her like a treasure, and Chen Xuanting also cared for them, which not only made her hanging heart fall.

Chen Xuanting kissed Nana, and Nana smiled and went to do her homework.

Sister-in-law Zhen pushed Chen Darong and motioned him to go out to buy some food, so that he could cook a hearty meal.

Chen Darong muttered: "How do I feel more and more like an errand boy?!" Or is it not the head of the legendary family?! ”

Chen Xuanting couldn't help but wonder, this old bean is getting more and more interesting, compared to the previous cold and old-fashioned, it is like a different person.

"Don't be so troublesome," Chen Xuanting suddenly remembered that he still had a Western food VIP card given by Li Zhaotai, so he said, "Today I invite you all to eat Western food!" "After signing a contract with Stephen Chow for filming, the ratings of the TV series "Step by Step" have risen step by step, which makes Chen Xuanting very happy, it is rare for the family to get together, wouldn't it be better to go out for a meal?

Sister-in-law Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this, pursed her red lips vigorously, so as not to laugh, and nodded vigorously, like a child who wants to get candy to eat. Western food, I've just heard of it, but I've never eaten it!

Chen Darong shook his head and said to Sister-in-law Zhen: "Look at your unpromising appearance, isn't it Western food?" Chinese eat Chinese food, what is there to be happy about eating Western food?! ”

Sister-in-law Zhen was reprimanded by him and retorted: "Just you slam the door!" Do you understand that this is a child's mind?! How to make other people's old beans, I don't understand any fun at all! ”

Nana, who was doing her homework, had already jumped up and said, "Okay, I'm going to eat Western food, I want to eat French lobster!" The one that many of my classmates have eaten! ”

Chen Xuanting touched her little head lovingly: "Don't worry, whatever you want to eat today, brother, I will pay for it!" ”

The Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant is on the east side of the Hilton Hotel on the first floor, it is an authentic French Western restaurant, the guests in the restaurant are of course rich or expensive, the restaurant environment is elegant, the band plays soft music, the sound seems to be there or not, the heat is just right.

Although the price of the Western restaurant is ridiculously high and the profit is amazing, the customers are often full, and it is said that one of the Hilton hotels' turnover comes from other Western restaurants, which shows the success of this Western restaurant.

The tables in the restaurant are neat, the sleek cutlery and cutlery are neatly arranged, the waiters are all elegant, and the foreman is a blonde French girl. As soon as you enter the restaurant, it gives people a luxurious atmosphere.

Because he wanted to go to a very high-end and luxurious place to dine, Chen Xuanting's family deliberately dressed up, Chen Darong took off the old casual coat and put on the suit that Sister-in-law Zhen bought for him, and Nana dressed up as a doll and wore a little princess dress, looking very Lori. As for Sister-in-law Zhen, her willow eyebrows are lightly drawn, her red lips are lightly smeared, and she is especially charming when she dresses up.

The family is happy, but when they use Western food, Chen Darong and they can reveal their original form. Especially Zhen's sister-in-law, who has sold fish all her life, where has she ever been in such a high-end place, even if she knows a little about eating Western food from TV, after all, she has never used a knife and fork, and she often makes a loud noise, so anxious that Zhen's sister-in-law sweats, and she doesn't know how to do it in a hurry.

When Chen Darong saw her like this, he said: "It's just eating, you don't need to be so meticulous!" Just eat enough! ”

Chen Xuanting also smiled, "Yes, the picture of eating is a happiness, don't use it if you are not used to using knives and forks!" ”

Sister-in-law Zhen's old face flushed, "No, you can't let people see jokes." "Keep fighting.

Chen Xuanting shook his head, and then saw that the cute Nana next to him was holding a small spoon used to taste dessert to serve the soup. The fat little white hands were still stirring in the soup.

Chen Xuanting looked funny, so he took her dinner plate, helped her pick the steak, cut the foie gras and lobster meat, cut it one by one, and sent it to her: "Eat." ”

Nana giggled, picked up a fork and forked a piece of beef into her mouth, and ate it with a small mouth, not to be very happy in her heart, I don't know why, why did the beef that Brother Ting helped cut taste so delicious?

Sister-in-law Zhen saw that her daughter Nana had Chen Xuanting to help cut the steak, and she couldn't help but stare at Chen Darong, who was still munching on the steak.

Chen Darong ate deliciously. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was kicking me under the table. When I looked down, it turned out to be Sister-in-law Zhen.

"What?" Chen Darong said confusedly.

"Well, look -----" Sister-in-law Zhen raised her chin and pointed to the scene where Chen Xuanting cut the steak for little Nana.

"yes, it's very cozy." Chen Darong smirked.

"Is it only warmth?"

"What else?"

"......" Sister-in-law Zhen was sullen, how could this person be like wood, I didn't see him so bad when selling pork.

"I'm still hungry!"

"Then eat!"

"I can't cut the steak!"

"......" Chen Darong was stunned.

Sister-in-law Zhen said in her heart, it seems that he understands.

Who knows, Chen Darong then said again: "Don't talk nonsense, you have chopped off such a big fish head, you can't cut this steak?!" ”

Sister-in-law Zhen rolled her eyes.

"Why are you so stupid!" Angry, Sister-in-law Zhen's voice was a little high, but she heard someone next to her say coldly: "**! No quality! ”

Chen Xuanting looked sideways, and there was also a man and a woman on the table next to him, both in their forties, the women were jewelry, the men were fat and big-eared, but they were a little majestic, and they were successful people at first glance.

The fat man was taking out his wallet to pay for him, and the blonde French maître d'être was the fat man who paid for the meal and handed the French girl a hundred-dollar bill as a tip, saying, "Little meaning, thank you for your hard work!" ”

The French maîtress said in fluent Cantonese, "Thank you." The fat guy smiled smugly.

The fat guy noticed Chen Xuanting looking at him, and sneered with disdain on his face.

Sister-in-law Zhen, who caused trouble, knew that most of the people who would come here to consume were successful people in Hong Kong, and she didn't dare to offend, and she consciously lost face to Chen Xuanting, and she had to pay more attention to demeanor when eating Western food, so she whispered to the fat guy to apologize: "I'm sorry." ”

The fat guy snorted: "What's the use of telling me I'm sorry, if you want me to say, you lonely guys don't want to learn how to pretend to be elegant, what French food do you eat?" Have you ever eaten all the Chinese food in Hong Kong? Look at you from beginning to end, a bit of a woman? ”

Sister-in-law Zhen's damaged face turned red and white, and she wanted to ridicule her, but looking at the style of others, she was afraid of causing trouble, so she had to bow her head and keep silent.

Chen Darong was so angry that he dared to ridicule his woman like this, and he was about to stand up, but Chen Xuanting was one step ahead of him and frowned: "It's funny, how about eating French food?" What if you don't know how to eat French food? ”

The fat guy said disdainfully: "Damn, why do you come to eat if you don't know how to eat?" A French meal proves that you are high society? Immature! ”

Chen Xuanting smiled: "Eating French food doesn't prove anything, just like there are people who can't eat Western food but are a few grades higher than Your Excellency!" ”

"Besides, we like to eat like this, can you handle it? Will you learn from Westerners to dine elegantly? That's just a step, a program, just eat a meal, just eat comfortably, why do you care so much? People who care too much about these things are a bit vulgar, and they are the kind of people who desperately want to prove that they are in high society, and that is really naïve! I still like to eat it with my hands, what can you do? ”

The fat guy was so choked by Chen Xuanting that he couldn't speak, but Sister-in-law Zhen looked at him in surprise, this cheap son at home usually talks very little, but how to debate with others is set by one, and the style of speech is also very sharp.

The French female foreman turned to Chen Xuanting and smiled: "This gentleman, it is indeed very impolite to grab it with your hands during the meal. ”

Chen Xuanting nodded lightly: "What you said is good, but your position is a bit problematic, with your current status, you should persuade us to stop arguing, but you are obviously biased in favor of one side, if I were the restaurant manager, I would fire you now, because the way you handled it made the quarreling party more impetuous, and the matter would only get bigger and bigger." Of course, you can't be blamed entirely, after all, he gave you a hundred dollars in a tip, and it is not an exaggeration for your subconscious to favor him. ”

The female maîtress froze with a smile, she had never encountered the merciless ridicule of Hong Kong men. The people who come here to eat are extremely polite and gentlemanly in front of her.

Chen Xuanting said again: "Let's go back to the topic just now." In fact, the basic point of your Western public etiquette is not to influence others, and we may have made a mistake in what we did just now, but we also apologized, and I think it was enough, as for the way of dining. As long as we don't disturb the other guests, I'm sorry, but I don't think we're being rude even from your etiquette point of view. But what do you keep saying? Is it rude to scratch with your hands? As long as it is not seen by other guests. How is it rude for me to secretly grab and eat with my hands? ”

The maîtress couldn't say a word. Chen Xuanting sighed, "I talk too much, and my mouth is a little dry." As he spoke, he picked up the aperitif and drank it, and took the empty glass and flashed it to the female foreman: "Aperitif, I like to drink it in one gulp when my mouth is dry." ”

The female foreman was a little overwhelmed, don't look at her as just a restaurant foreman, but she has always been very respected by the guests, and it is the first time that she has been ridiculed by the guests, especially the Hong Kong guests.

The fat guy glared: "I'm lost, you're quite talkative, I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as a rotten boy like you." What a disappointment! As he spoke, he pulled the coat from the hand of the female foreman and put it on his body, ready to flash people. said that it was not ordinary, but he still showed some of his original form under the breath, and when he opened his mouth, he came out with dirty words.

Chen Xuanting smiled, and he didn't bother to meet him again.

Chen Darong couldn't swallow this breath and stood up, "Fatty, who do you say is a rotten boy?!" "I grabbed the guidance of the fat guy in one hand.

"Cripple, don't do it, I'm a civilized man!" The fat guy saw Chen Darong's fierce and vicious appearance, and he was a little angry.

"Civilized your mother's head!" Chen Darong pinched the fat guy's nose and twisted it vigorously.

"Oops!" The fat guy howls like a pig!

"Why are you doing this," the forewoman was anxious, "I'm going to call the police if I do it again!" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled, "We just taught him to know how to respect others and settle the bill -----, I'm not in the mood to eat your big meal!" ”

The female foreman took the bill with an ugly look and said, "It's a total of 8,700 yuan!" ”

Chen Xuanting immediately took out the Western diamond gold card and said, "Swipe the card-----! ”

The female foreman was stunned when she brushed the floor----- diamond gold card? The entire Hong Kong Hilton Hotel also sent out ten, each of which was given to a big man with a face in Hong Kong, worth not billions, but also tens of billions, is this young man a super-rich? !

Rich man's ass!

This card was given by someone!

Chen Xuanting was such a person, he immediately saw the meaning of the female foreman.

smiled and said: "This is not mine, it was given by someone else, so you don't have to be so surprised, I am a poor man!" ”

If the maîtress had thought so before taking out the diamond card, but now, God, poor, does anyone call himself poor with such a noble diamond card? Hong Kong is truly a place of miracles, and the people here are too mysterious.

The female foreman did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly swiped the card to settle the bill. And the fat guy who was twisted by Chen Darong's nose hurt also saw the diamond gold card at this time, he still had some eyesight, and immediately saw the weight of others, and he didn't dare to shout anymore, and pulled his wife away in embarrassment.

At the checkout, Chen Xuanting also gave a tip to the French female foreman, and the female foreman took it with a complicated expression and said thank you.

On the way back, Chen Xuanting asked his father and sister-in-law if they had eaten well?

Sister-in-law Zhen said okay. But thinking about the fact that she ate seven or eight thousand yuan for this meal, Sister-in-law Zhen was a little proud, and there were not many people in the vegetable market in Wan Chai who had this kind of mouthful, right?

Chen Darong was so hungry that his appetite was ruined by the dead fat man.

Nana says she's going to McDonald's.

In the end, Chen Xuanting clapped the board and said, go to the food stall to eat hot pot!

The whole family raised their hands in favor!
