Chapter 4: The Lady's Overture
This eldest lady has never taken the usual path, and it is disgraceful to listen to this kind of thing in the corner, and Jenny should have persuaded her. However, he knew very well that with Miss Su's temper, it was useless to persuade him, so he shut up and went forward to listen together, and sure enough, he heard a voice from inside.
"Mama Hu, is that dish ready?"
"Okay, okay, it's all according to your orders, young lady. This time, the tuna is very similar to egg custard on the surface, and it is impossible to distinguish it if you don't look carefully, so you can definitely deceive Miss Xia. ”
"What do you say! I didn't say I was going to trick Xia Anning into eating seafood, and I didn't know that she was allergic to seafood, so she kept her mouth shut for me. There was a hint of warning in the voice.
"Yes, yes, we don't know, it's all made according to the recipe."
"But it's a good idea, and although my aunt hates her, my uncle likes her. At the dinner table, my uncle will definitely serve her vegetables, and she likes to eat egg custard, which is really God's help for me. ”
Su Yan listened to a few words outside, and then understood what the people inside were doing, and she leaned on the window and pointed to the young woman inside.
"Who's that woman?"
Jenny leaned over and took a look: "That's Luo Wen, the eldest lady of the Luo family, and it's Mr. Luo's niece." ”
"Tut-tut, this Luo family is really wonderful, there was a lewd son, and another obscene niece, and a good birthday banquet became Rashomon." Su Yan clapped her hands as she walked, "Today, Miss Ben will come to the hero to save the beauty and do the right thing for the sky." ”
"My eldest lady, what do you want to do, don't ......," Jenny wailed halfway before being interrupted.
"Didn't you just hear them? I want to hurt people! It's harmful to people's seafood allergies! If you're not careful, you'll die! ”
"Well, that's okay with us, isn't it?"
"Originally, it didn't matter, but I still like that Xia Anning, who has a small waist and long legs, and is worth my help."
Jenny walked around to her, worried, "No! Miss, the rumors that you are engaged in lilies are just pretending to be for the media, don't play for real! ”
Su Yan nodded thoughtfully: "I won't pretend." ”
Jenny's head didn't turn for a moment, and he continued to ask questions while trotting to follow, but Su Yan ignored him. This eldest lady always speaks like this, one moment is true and sometimes it is false, and she can't figure out what she is thinking at all.
Soon it was time to start the meal, and Cheyenne had been waiting in the reception room for a long time, but no one came to receive her. But this is also a common thing, every year she comes, she is always ostracized. She didn't care, no one else had anything to do with her, just said happy birthday to her adoptive father who was good to her.
The reception room was next to the dining room, and Cheyenne could hear the noise outside, as if some big man was coming, and even the adoptive mother, who had always been strong, spoke politely.
The person she heard was Su Yan, and after walking around with Jenny several times outside, Su Yan finally squeezed out a smile and entered the house, and brought those polite words that she didn't like.
"Young Master Luo is really a talent, and Sister Luo Wen, I really hit it off at first sight!" Su Yan exaggerated and praised everyone in the Luo family next to each other, but in the end, she looked around, "Huh? I heard that Uncle Luo also has a sister named Xia Anning, and I happened to see her when I came in just now, what about people? ”
As soon as these words were mentioned, the smile on Mrs. Luo's face immediately froze for a moment, and then she pretended to smile again.
"Xiao Ye, didn't Mom ask you to pick up An Ning?"
Luo Ye watched it for a long time, but he still didn't understand the look her mother gave him, so he had to tell the truth: "I brought An Ning to the living room, Mama Hu, go and inform you of the meal." ”
When Xia Anning was called out, Su Yan took a serious look at her, she was indeed a rare beauty, and since this was the case, she couldn't let the beauty be bullied.
"Hello, I'm Su Yan." Su Yan walked up to her and stretched out her hand generously.
It's a pity that Xia Anning only glanced at her lightly and didn't shake hands with her.
"Hello, Cheyenne."
Su Yancai is not the kind of person who will obediently take her hand back, she took Xia Anning's arm and pulled her to the position next to her.
"Let's sit together!"
Looking at Su Yan's self-cooked appearance, Xia Anning was vigilant. As soon as she saw Su Yan's dress, she knew that she should be the eldest lady of a rich family. And such a young lady, in her impression, has always been associated with arrogance, such as Luo Wen. So even though she took the initiative to show her kindness, it was better not to get too close.
"Mama Hu, are you ready to smile?" Luo Ye urged.
"This kid, just waiting for this snack!" Mrs. Luo said with a smile, "This snack is called Lianhua Yixiao, which is made from fresh bamboo leaves and mountain spring water, plus dried flowers and grains, which is not only nutritious, but also tastes very good." I heard that Miss Su likes Chinese desserts very much, so she specially prepared this dim sum today. ”
Su Yan maintained a proper smile: "Auntie bothered." ”
But when the dim sum was put on the table, there were only five servings, and Xia Anning's front was empty.
The maid Hu Ma observed Su Yan's gaze at Xia Anning, and said casually: "Miss Su, don't be surprised, this dim sum is very time-consuming to make, and you can only make so many five dishes in a morning." Miss Xia isn't ...... anyway Ahem, I don't like to eat snacks, so I didn't prepare her portion. Right, Miss Xia? ”
Xia Anning smiled and nodded: "I don't mind." ”
Su Yan saw that she said that it didn't matter, and she didn't want to speak again, just waiting for the highlight of today's dinner table. After a long while, a bowl of egg custard was served, and it was placed in the most conspicuous position under Luo Wen's eyes.
"An Ning, this is your favorite food, come and try it."
