Chapter 411: A Strange Lunch
"Yes. β
Xu Zecheng nodded and smiled: "Everyone, please come with me, lunch is ready, and Mrs. is waiting for everyone in the restaurant." β
I saw that Ye Dingxi was still hesitant, so I preemptively said: "Okay, it just so happens that we are also hungry, thank you Steward Xu." β
Saying this, Ye Dingxi naturally had no way to refuse, so we followed Xu Zecheng towards the east side of the hall on the first floor.
In the restaurant.
The same luxurious gold decorations were placed in the sideboard and table, there was a wall clock on the fireplace on the wall, this time I looked carefully but found nothing unusual, on the rectangular dining table covered with a large dark gold patterned tablecloth, there was a lot of food, Mrs. Xu sat alone at one end of the long table, and watched us walk in with a cold look in her eyes.
Obviously, we are extremely unwelcome to come, and we still have to complete such a ceremonial lunch, I really don't know what Mrs. Xu thinks.
I looked back at the table, and although there were many plates, none of the food was hot!
Fresh vegetables are chopped and served in a transparent shallow glass bowl with some milky sauce, and two carved fruit platters are beautifully shaped, but they are only a few different flavors of fruit, and the other plates also contain different raw and cold vegetarian food, which makes people look really unappetizing.
Under the guidance of Xu Zecheng, we sat down one after another, and Mrs. Xu looked at Ye Dingxi on the left seat and said, "I'm not in good health, so I have a light diet, and I hope you don't mind." β
Mrs. Xu was polite. β
Ye Dingxi smiled politely, but he didn't mean to move his chopsticks, but just continued to ask: "I don't know how Mrs. Xu thought about this matter discussed in the study just now?"
"Consider?"
Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "Isn't my attitude already very clear? Why should Mr. Ye ask again, the answer can never be changed." β
Ye Dingxi was not angry or annoyed, but said lightly: "I just want to remind Mrs. Xu again, that thing is in the hands of Mrs. Xu, and what you will lose in the end may be more than what you get in front of you, besides, Mr. Xu's body is dragged on like this, I'm afraid it will ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Xu eagerly interrupted him.
"You mean, if I hand over the things, you will make Lao Xu change back to his original appearance?!"
She invited so many famous doctors in Beijing to diagnose and treat Xu Yayun, and naturally knew that the root cause of his sudden 'stroke' did not come from the body, but also ...... Because of the absorption of yang energy by the yin ghosts brought by the dream-eating tapir for a long time, Xu Yayun's body has long been hollowed out, and if he continues to be paralyzed in bed like this, he is afraid that he will not survive for a few months.
Only Mrs. Xu and a few doctors know these inside stories, but she also knows very well, and Ye Dingxi must also know!
"Ye Dingxi, this is the real purpose of your visit today, right?"
Mrs. Xu's expression suddenly became very ugly, and her voice was as cold as ice, "No, it should have been earlier, you already knew that Ning Meng and Chunxia had problems, but you chose them to join the crew, and then deliberately designed everyone into your trap, in order to ...... It's to use Lao Xu to threaten me!"
"Mrs. Xu is worthy of being a genius painter who caused a sensation in the major art academies of country Y back then, and her imagination is indeed richer than that of ordinary people. Ye Dingxi clapped her hands meaningfully, but did not deny her speculation, "Mr. Xu's life is now in the middle of your thoughts, madam, so I will ask again, have you thought about it clearly?"
"You!"
Mrs. Xu glared at her viciously, looking like she wanted to eat Ye Dingxi, and she almost gritted her teeth before she could speak, "You are too naΓ―ve to threaten me with Xu Yayun's life! I have long been inseparable from him, and there is no so-called husband and wife relationship!"
Ye Dingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the food on the table with a cold gaze, and said, "Mrs. Xu, we are not in a hurry to go back, you can take the time of this meal to think about it carefully, after eating this meal, if you want to change your words, I am afraid there will be no chance." β
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't reply again, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and her eyes gestured to Xu Zecheng, who had been standing quietly at the table like a wooden man.
Steward Xu, who was originally looking at his nose and nose and his heart, as if he had settled down, quickly received a signal from his wife, leaned over and picked up a shallow glass bowl, and then took out a large wooden spoon and put it in
Brightly coloured fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers were served on our respective plates.
There were about seven or eight different food plates on the table, Xu Zecheng moved very slowly, as if he was completing a very sacred and important task, every time he picked up a plate, he would circle along the table, and whether we chose the food or not, he would add some to our plate.
It's like a kindergarten teacher handing out food to the children sitting around the table.
His movements were so light that the spoon in his hand did not touch any of the utensils until the last turn, and then he turned around silently, as if walking in the direction of the kitchen.
At this time, Mrs. Xu's anger also seemed to sink, although her face was still not good, but she finally seemed to have the attitude that a master should have, and said slowly: "You're welcome, enjoy yourself." β
After speaking, regardless of whether we, the so-called guests, ate it or not, I picked up a small spoon, lowered my eyebrows slightly, and ate one bite after another as if I was very serious.
The food on her plate was exactly the same as what we shared.
Zhu Yan and Hua Quan glanced at each other, and then picked up the fork or chopsticks in front of them, and ate quietly, Ye Dingxi didn't move, he probably really didn't like to eat this kind of food, and he didn't even look at what was on the plate, he only held a glass in front of him and drank white water one by one.
I licked my lips, I was really hungry, whether it was me or Bai Bingyang, the feeling of an empty stomach was obvious, even if these vegetarian foods couldn't arouse my appetite, it was good to eat some first.
Picking up the spoon, I was about to eat a cherry tomato, when I suddenly felt dizzy in front of me......
"Bai Bingyang?"
"What's wrong with you?"
It was as if several voices were ringing in my ears at the same time, but my head seemed to be planted in a basin of water, and my hearing was very blurry, and the ghosting in front of me became more and more ghostly, as if I couldn't wait for me to blink, and I felt like I was spinning.
"Eastward !!"
By the time I heard this last cry, my eyes had gone completely black and I had lost all consciousness.
