Unable to stand the heavy atmosphere at the dinner table any longer, Helen kindly asked Pete, "Pete, is the bass I made delicious?"
"It's delicious, Mrs. Stacy!" In fact, Pete is now chewing cured meat, and he can't taste the food at all, but he still praises Helen's craftsmanship out of politeness.
"Eat more if it's delicious!" Helen was pleased that someone admired his cooking, but her good mood was over in the next second.
"Uncle Arthur's cooking is delicious!" Simon seemed to be nostalgic for Arthur's craft, and he didn't see his mother's darkened face at all.
"Uncle Arthur's Chinese food is simply delicious!" Philip was also seduced by Simon's words, and soon the others also spoke out to cater to him.
"Uncle Arthur's roast chicken is also delicious!"
"And the pasta, the steaks were delicious!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was slowly enlivened by several children, and Xiao Yue'er was also attracted by their words.
"Do you still know how to cook?" Xiao Yue'er asked Arthur strangely, she had never eaten Arthur's own cooking after knowing him for so many years.
"Xiao Yue'er, haven't you tried Arthur's craft at all?" Helen was surprised, "Arthur likes to cook?"
When Arthur heard Helen's words, he explained, "I've been busy with work in the past few years, so I rarely cook."
In fact, Arthur has been concentrating on cultivation and tasks in the past few years, so he has to cook.
"Humph!" George snorted coldly and said, "You also count as a job!"
As soon as George spoke, everyone's mood fell silent.
Not to be outdone, Arthur said coldly: "Naturally, it can't compare to your police chief's decent job."
Although George and Arthur are brothers, because of their different personalities, their feelings are relatively indifferent, but Arthur and George's children have a good relationship, especially Gwen, who can be regarded as Arthur's own hand-raised and treated as a daughter.
Arthur was reincarnated into an ordinary middle-class family in New York, with only George and his two brothers in the family, and later his parents died, Arthur lived with the adult George and lived in his home ever since.
Later, after George got married and gave birth to Gwen, because the two of them were busy with work, Arthur took the initiative to take care of the children, not only raised Gwen, but also took care of other children, until the youngest Simon was born, Gwen was also older, Arthur let go and moved out of George's house, and it was also during this time that Arthur practiced an extraordinary craft and raised Gwen's children's mouths.
Gwen and Arthur spend the most time together, and the relationship is naturally deeper, but Arthur has too many secrets, and later opened a "night owl office", and most of the tasks accepted are black and white, and George, as the New York police chief, is naturally blind, the two brothers have quarreled many times for Arthur's work, Helen found that the two brothers had a tendency to quarrel again, and immediately interjected.
"Okay, you guys will stop the meeting, Pete and Xiao Yue'er are still there!"
Hearing Helen's words, both of them stopped talking and restrained themselves from arguing anymore, but everyone could see the stubbornness in their eyes.
George has been a policeman all his life, and he is rigid and conservative, believing that people should abide by the rule of law and act according to the law, so he has a strong sense of justice, but he is not inflexible, as long as he does not violate the law, he is still very good at talking.
Arthur is the opposite of George's character, he is a human being, he is used to seeing the dark side of society, especially the martial arts world in his previous life, it is a world where the strong are respected, and there is no law at all, so he opened a "night owl office", black and white, and even the American army did not pay attention to it, thinking that as long as the fists are hard, you can have everything.
The atmosphere of eating became silent again in the hands of the two Arthur brothers, and everyone only cared about the food in front of them, and there was no interest in eating.
George also seemed to understand that he was disturbing everyone's mood, and took the initiative to divert the topic and asked Pete.
"Pete, what college are you going to go to in the future!" George's tone was loud, and there was a feeling that an old man was picking a son-in-law.
Pete didn't dare to snub George, and quickly said honestly: "I'm going to go to New York University!"
In fact, Pete went to New York University is also a helpless move, his parents died, and he lived in his uncle Ben Parker's house since he was a child, but some time ago Ben Parker was killed in the hands of robbers because of the uneven road, and Parker's only source of income was lost, in order to save a sum of accommodation fees, Pete could only choose the city's university.
Although New York University is a very good university in the United States, it is a pity that it is still inferior to Harvard and Massachusetts.
"New York University is good, Arthur graduated from New York University!" Helen chimed in: "You'll be alumni from now on!"
Arthur nodded and acquiesced in the relationship with Pete, but he went to college just because of George's insistence, he planned to go to work as soon as he graduated from high school, strive to get rid of George's economic control, earn more money, and exchange his superpowers for martial arts resources, for him, practicing martial arts is far more important than going to college.
George is a traditional American, thinking that only by going to college, Arthur will have a future in the future, so he insisted on letting Arthur go to school, Arthur is not a wolf-hearted person, knowing that George is for his good, so he didn't insist anymore and went to New York University.
"I'm going to NYU, too!" Gwen suddenly said in surprise.
"Not allowed!" Hearing Gwen's words, Arthur and George spoke in unison.
Gwen has a good academic performance and has even been admitted to Harvard University in advance, but she wants to give up Harvard, the first university in the United States, and the last first-class New York University, George and Arthur suddenly thought that Gwen gave up the opportunity of Harvard University for Pitt, so the two looked at Pete even more unkindly.
Pete was stared at by George and Arthur's arrow-like gazes, and he was eager to find a hole in the ground.
When Gwen found out about Pitt's embarrassment, she immediately explained: "I don't want to give up my internship at the Osborne Group, so I don't want to go to Harvard, this decision has nothing to do with Pete!"
The ghost believed Gwen's words, and Arthur said directly: "There are still opportunities after the internship of the Osborne Group, but it would be a pity for Harvard University to give up!" You still go to Harvard, and when you graduate, I will help you solve any company you want to intern in, and you can choose the world's top 500 companies! Even Stark Group is no problem! ā
George rarely supported Arthur's words and kept persuading Gwen not to give up Harvard University, but Gwen insisted surprisingly, and the meal ended unhappily, Gwen and Pitt left the house together and came to the roof of the apartment to complain to each other, and Arthur also left George's house under the pretext that he was busy with work.
