After the meal, Wen Luyao took Yun Qiao to drink coffee, and she ordered two more pieces of chocolate cake.
"...Aren't you tired of it?"
"I'm not full." Wen Luyao sighed very irritably, "None of today's dishes are delicious."
Yun Qiao: "I see you can't stop eating."
"It doesn't taste good. Although my stomach is full, my hunger is not full. You know what I mean," she said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
If Xi Lanting were here, he would definitely say something to Wen Luyao: So much nonsense, isn't it just greed?
Yun Qiao told her to eat well, and continued to gossip about Second Young Master Zhu and Second Young Master Sun Manyu.
Hearing that Lu Yao was not in the mood, he wanted to go back after drinking coffee.
When Li Hong and others separated, Lin Xie took a rickshaw back by himself, while Li Hong accompanied his mother on the tram.
The tram stopped at the stop facing their house. They had to walk about a mile to get home. The mother and son chatted while walking.
Speaking of birthday gifts, Mrs. Li said she liked the shawl Luyao gave her very much.
"The shawl is solid and inexpensive; the earrings Miss Yun gave me are a bit old-fashioned; and the bracelet Bao Zhu gave me is too expensive," said Mrs. Li.
Because she criticized two people, Li Hong did not hear that she was specifically targeting Lin Xie. He only said: "How is this the same? They are being polite, Baozhu is just hurting you."
"I'm just afraid that she'll spend money recklessly." Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Baozhu is good at everything, but he's a little too polite and attentive. We're all a family from now on, so there's no need to be like this."
Li Hong further explained: "She has always been like this, she is naturally passionate."
Mrs. Li also said about Wen Luyao: "She is so well-born, with a chubby face, and she looks young and blessed."
Li Hong said: "She has a bad personality."
"It's very good. Look at how well-behaved she is and how little she talks." Mrs. Li said.
Li Hong admitted that he heard that Lu Yao was very well-behaved today and did not talk nonsense in front of his mother.
"I like the gifts they gave me very much. I will make spring cakes the day after tomorrow. If you invite them to eat, I will thank them." Mrs. Li said, "It is also called Shang Baozhu."
"But, we have already invited them to dinner today. Besides, young girls may not like to eat spring pancakes because they taste so bad." Li Hong said.
The spring cakes that Yancheng people call are a special local snack: they are made of glutinous rice and wrapped with fresh bamboo shoots, diced ham and a lot of garlic sprouts.
It is particularly delicious and because garlic sprouts are the main ingredient, it also has a great taste.
Li Hong felt that it was not polite to invite unfamiliar friends to eat this.
The relationship between Li Hong and Yun Qiao seems to be only related to medicine. Apart from this, they have nothing to talk about; and with Wen Luyao, they have no conversation.
He is still a man.
In short it is inappropriate.
My mother has always been steady, but I don’t know what happened today.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for the orb. One of those two is a daughter of a high family, and the other is as beautiful as a fairy. She will definitely marry well in the future.
As for Baozhu, does she want to meet such a high-class best friend? Why don't I be a philistine and make more appointments for them?"
Li Hong was touched and a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Baozhu would like to make more friends. She also said that Yun Qiao is a nice person."
Seeing that he knew nothing, Mrs. Li nodded: "Then call Miss Yun and ask her to come the day after tomorrow. Call Miss Wen."
After returning home, Li Hong was beaten.
Before, installing a telephone was very expensive, costing hundreds of dollars a month. If Li Hong hadn't worked in a hospital, his family would never have installed this thing.
After getting through, Yun Qiao said: "Ah, is it delicious?"
Li Hong: "Maybe."
"Okay, I'll call Miss Wen." She said, "You don't need to call her specifically."
Li Hong thanked him.
Then, he rushed to Lin Xie's house, told her about the incident, and invited her to dinner.
After hearing the news, Lin Xie immediately became vigilant.
