In the blink of an eye, when she saw the harmony between Shen Chaochen and Lian Yin, her mood finally improved a lot.
Just when everyone was excited, Mother Shen brought a plate of food and threw it on the table with a bang, attracting everyone's attention.
"Chenchen, put all your notebooks away and let's eat."
As soon as Shen's mother finished speaking, Ruan Qingyue immediately stood up and followed her to the kitchen.
"It's my fault that I'm helping you. We were just chatting about the company and I forgot to help you cook. Don't be offended. I'll prepare it specially for you next time."
Ruan Qingyue's words made Mother Shen's face look very ugly. How could she have forgotten this? She simply forgot it on purpose. Things were so ugly before, so now she had to treat her well and not say a word.
But there was nothing wrong with what she said. Shen's mother could only take advantage of no one to see her and give Ruan Qingyue a hard look, but what she said in her mouth was still pretentious.
"No, you came to the city with us, and we should take care of you."
Mother Shen also responded to Ruan Qingyue without missing a beat, meaning that no matter how great her achievements were, they were just from the countryside.
"You are right to say that. I am a little girl who has accumulated virtues in my previous life, so I can meet such a good person like you in this life. You brought me from the countryside to the city, so that I can have the good life now. However, I will keep your kindness in my heart."
Ruan Qingyue put the dishes on the table, the smile on her face was sincere. What she said was not a lie, but this kindness would only stay with Shen Chaochen at this moment.
"As long as you understand the meaning of kindness and unkindness, it will be fine. Our family will treat you with utmost benevolence and justice."
Mother Shen's words were full of thorns inside and outside. Father Shen's brows furrowed slightly. Shen Chaochen was also very anxious. Just as he was about to speak, Ruan Qingyue snatched him back.
"That's true. You have been extremely kind to me, and I am indeed reciprocating your kindness. Is there any food in the kitchen?"
The smile on Ruan Qingyue's face suddenly softened a lot, and her eyes and words became sharper. This was the first time Ruan Qingyue appeared in front of Shen Chaochen. Father Shen laughed when he heard it, and didn't take it too seriously. Chaochen was stunned.
Lian Yin sat aside and listened to these words, her eyes darting back and forth, sometimes looking at Shen Chaochen and Shen's father, sometimes at Shen's mother.
These people had different expressions. Father Shen was happy, Shen Chaochen was surprised, but Mother Shen was extremely angry.
"Eat quickly! Auntie's cooking is the most delicious. I feel hungry just from the smell."
Lian Yin opened her mouth to help, and the whole family finally sat down. However, this position became particularly interesting due to Father Shen's deliberate arrangement. Shen Chaochen sat in the middle, with Ruan Qingyue on the left, Lian Yin on the right, and Shen's mother sitting in the middle. Next to Ruan Qingyue, Father Shen sat next to Lian Yin.
After just a few bites, Mother Shen spoke.
"Chenchen, pick some vegetables for Miss Lianyin! She likes to eat this little rapeseed the most. It's a little far away and she can't reach it."
After saying this, Mother Shen began to look at Ruan Qingyue with a vague look. Before eating, she had suffered a loss from Ruan Qingyue's words. Now she was planning to make up for it and let Shen Chaochen watch more. Look good at Lianyin.
Ruan Qingyue acted as if she didn't hear anything and didn't take it seriously. Shen Chaochen glanced at Ruan Qingyue subconsciously, but all he saw was that Ruan Qingyue was holding a bowl, holding a chopstick and eating the meat on the belly of the fish happily and sweetly.
Lian Yin did not wait shyly like before. Instead, she looked up in surprise and quickly reached out to pick up the food.
"Auntie, you are so kind to me. You remember my favorite food. I have made fried rape several times at home, but it is not as delicious as yours."
Lian Yin immediately changed the subject. What she said made Ruan Qingyue slightly raise her head and glance at her. However, seeing how Lian Yin was so focused on pleasing Shen's mother, there was still a moment of sarcasm in her eyes.
No matter what you do now, everyone knows what your purpose is.
If her attitude was exactly the same from beginning to end, then I would have more respect for her.
However, this moment was still clearly captured by Lian Yin. She was very angry in her heart. Shen Chaochen was very sensible and did not raise his head or answer the words, and ate the rice in the bowl with great effort.
Father Shen had seen all this, and he more or less knew how Ruan Qingyue would react, but after waiting for a long time, except for the sarcasm, Ruan Qingyue seemed not to see the person Lian Yin in front of her. He just ate his food obediently, truly eating without talking.
This meal almost became a performance between Shen's mother and Lian Yin. The two of them were chatting about the scene, and Lian Yin was very sensible and gave Shen's mother face.
Ruan Qingyue ate a bowl of rice in a leisurely manner, and most of the best parts of the fish went into Ruan Qingyue's stomach.
Regardless of the relationship, Mother Shen's craftsmanship is still very good.
As soon as Ruan Qingyue put down her chopsticks, Father Shen spoke.
"Girl Qingyue, go and serve the rice. Eat more. Your aunt's skill in stewing fish is beyond the ordinary people's. Please eat more."
Father Shen's words made Lian Yin and Mother Shen, who had just regained their face, shut up instantly. Mother Shen started to get angry again when she saw that Ruan Qingyue had eaten a lot of her stewed fish.
Smelly girl, you have never eaten fish! She ate the whole belly of such a big fish. She is really ignorant from the countryside. You can see your character by eating a fish.
Shen's mother cursed in her heart. Seeing that the fish's head had not been touched, she took off the fish's face and meat with chopsticks and put it into Lian Yin's bowl.
"You haven't tasted the fish I cooked yet! Eat it quickly, it's the best piece of meat on a fish."
The smile on Mother Shen's face made Father Shen helpless. This mother really didn't know whether her son had any thoughts.
If my son really has something on his mind, and you are here to find a way to help pull the strings, he will take action on his own.
"Thank you, auntie, um! It's so delicious, auntie, you are so awesome."
Lianyin took a bite and her eyes really lit up. This was much more delicious than the fish stew she ate at home.
"If it's delicious, eat more. There's not much fish here. Next time you come, I'll pick out a fish and cook it for you."
At this moment, Mother Shen still remembered Ruan Qingyue's words, who asked her to eat all the tender meat on the belly of the fish.
"Don't bother. I'll come back next time. I'll just bring a fish over. I can learn from Auntie how to cook the fish. Once I learn how to cook it, I can cook it myself."
Lian Yin said everything with a smile. This kind of obedient and sensible girl is not something ordinary girls can have.
