The three of them walked slowly over, and Constantine greeted them with a smile: "Lu Qiwei and my sister-in-law have something to deal with. You two... uh, three of you, please take a seat..."
"Humph!" Su Xiaorou muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm blind with my eyes open!"
Constantine smiled apologetically. He had indeed ignored Su Xiaorou just now. Although the girl Su Xiaorou had an exciting baby face and exaggerated breasts, the same was true for his sister Monica, who had long been used to it.
.All his thoughts were focused on his goddess Liu Mengyan and his "love rival" Xia Yu.
After just exchanging a few words, Lu Qiwei and Monica came back. Lu Qiwei hurried over and was about to introduce each other, but Su Xiaorou said angrily: "A guy who values sex over friends! Humph!"
Lu Qiwei blushed, laughed sarcastically, and said to Xia Yu: "I really love Monica..."
Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay."
Lu Qiwei smiled and introduced Monica to everyone, emphasizing intentionally or unintentionally that Monica and Constantine were half-sisters, and the two had not always lived together since childhood. He
These words are obviously implying that if you don't deal with Constantine, don't involve Monica. Monica's relationship with his brother is only average.
…
When everyone gathered, the waiter began to serve the tableware one after another. Constantine began to prepare the meal meticulously according to Western etiquette, but Xia Yu seemed to be deliberately confronting him, doing whatever he felt comfortable with. Su Xiaorou next to him was also like this,
Her goal has always been to not make a fool of herself. To follow the rules is to make yourself uncomfortable.
Lu Qiwei rarely eats Western food. Although he knows all the etiquette, he is very stiff when cooking it. Monica's mother is of Chinese origin. She usually lives with her mother and rarely eats Western food. The two of them are evenly matched.
The movements are not very natural.
Only Liu Mengyan has mastered these things since she was a child and has formed a habit. She naturally follows the standard Western etiquette when picking up a knife and fork.
Therefore, in Constantine's eyes, he and Liu Mengyan were the two most special people at the dinner table. He couldn't help but be secretly proud. Comparison could show the difference. Compared with Xia Yu, it was obvious that he and Liu Mengyan were more special.
A perfect match!
Monica begged Lu Qiwei to arrange this dinner party. The name was to introduce Monica to everyone, but the real purpose was to give Constantine and Liu Mengyan a chance to meet.
Constantine likes Liu Mengyan and has already won the support of his family. Liu Mengyan's identity as the eldest lady of the Liu family makes the French consortium even more excited. Monica's side is almost certain. If Constantine's side is added to the mix, of course
Even better, if they can marry into two big Chinese families at the same time, they will have more advantages in the Chinese market in the future. Therefore, Monica couldn't resist her family, so she had to ask Lu Qiwei to help.
Lu Qiwei was really sincere towards Monica, and he felt that Constantine would definitely have no chance, so he made this smooth favor. In fact, the most awkward and nervous person at the whole table was Lu Qiwei. He glanced at
Looking at Xia Yu who looked a little slovenly, he couldn't help but feel anxious secretly, thinking to himself, brother, although Miss Liu and you are definitely determined, you should try your best! Don't be outdone by Constantine!
He cut a piece of beef abruptly and complained to Monica: "This etiquette is really terrible! But it has to be done here. From now on, it is better for us to eat these at home!"
Monica nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'm not used to it either!"
What Lu Qiwei just said was meant for Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also understood it, but before he could speak, Liu Mengyan spoke, "It is said that dining etiquette was used by the exploiting classes in ancient times to highlight their status.
, there are some rules that are specially set to restrain people, which don’t mean much. I still prefer to be more casual, after all, it’s just a casual meal..."
She took a small bite of foie gras gracefully, smiled slightly, cut a small piece and put it on Xia Yu's plate, and said: "This foie gras is good, you should try it."
Constantine couldn't help but hesitated. Liu Mengyan's behavior was not in line with etiquette, and she was obviously showing affection. He felt a little blocked and couldn't help but said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, as a member of the Haotian Group
The head of the company will attend many formal business occasions, so some basic etiquette still needs to be mastered!"
Xia Yu smiled slightly and was about to speak, but this time Su Xiaorou beat him to it, "Didn't Meng Yan just say that? Etiquette is just a formality, in fact it's just pretentious! It's meaningless!"
As if to prove her words, Xiaorou threw away the knife in her right hand, picked up the fork with her right hand, stabbed a piece of veal steak hard, and ate it with big mouthfuls, muttering as she ate, "Isn't it just grilled steak! It's so
You have to pay so much attention to it! In fact, it’s more fun to eat it with your hands!”
Constantine was a little embarrassed for a moment. If Xia Yu said this, he could naturally fight back in a quarrel. But one is Liu Mengyan and the other is Liu Mengyan's good friend. They are both girls. If he insists on talking to them
Arguing seems to be a lack of grace. Isn’t that stupid?
After a few minutes of silence, Constantine wiped his mouth gracefully and said, "Mr. Xia, there is something I think I should let you know."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I admire Miss Liu very much, and I think she is very good, so I will start a fair competition with you."
Xia Xia Yu laughed, "Mr. Constantine, it's better not to make such a joke easily."
"I'm serious, I'm not kidding!"
"Since you are serious, let me tell you that you have no chance. Mengyan is my woman!"
"No, no, no!" Constantine shook his head vigorously, "You disrespect Miss Liu so much! She is not a commodity, and she should not be said to belong to anyone. A beautiful woman like Miss Liu has the right to choose a better man."
Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Mengyan gently pulled his arm under the dining table, and Xia Yu closed his mouth knowingly.
Liu Mengyan said seriously: "Mr. Constantine, the greatest respect for me is to treat me with the attitude I like. Xia Yu's attitude towards me is my favorite. I am his woman. There is no doubt about this."
, our wedding will be held in June, so please stop having unnecessary dreams!"
"No, no, no!" Constantine's head shook like a rattle, "Miss Liu, you have to have independent ideas! You can't do this!"
"What you said is disrespectful to me..." Liu Mengyan said, "because you used your thinking model to trap me!"
Constantine didn't know what to say for a moment, and his face turned red after holding back. After a while, he said: "Miss Liu, you and such a man who disrespects you..."
"Constantine!" Liu Mengyan said dissatisfied, "I have just said that I think my husband respects me very much, please don't put your ideas on me! I know, this is you Westerners
It’s a common problem, but let me tell you, this is what I hate the most!”
Constantine was speechless for a moment, while Xia Yuze couldn't help but secretly cheer, it turns out that his wife from home can also quarrel!
For a moment, no one spoke, and the situation was very embarrassing...
