Lin Daiyu said: "Zhang Chi, you sit down first!" She was a little unhappy with her mother's behavior. Even if she didn't like Zhang Chi, she couldn't show it so obviously. This was obviously to prevent Zhang Chi from getting off the stage.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Juniors should stand in front of their elders."
Chu Wenxi looked at Zhang Chi. This was the first time she had seen this boy. He must have his own strengths to impress Lin Daiyu.
Lin Chaolong had made an agreement with her in advance that they would act together in a play today. Insulting Zhang Chi would definitely make Lin Daiyu angry, and the mother and daughter would enter a cold war, and their relationship would naturally become estranged.
Chu Wenxi didn't understand why Lin Chaolong was so disgusted with Zhang Chi and tried every means to separate him from his daughter.
As a bystander, Chu Wenxi knows that relationships are very strange. The more obstacles there are, the more both parties want to be together at all costs. When all obstacles are removed, the attraction between the two people no longer exists.
force.
Life is inherently a contradiction. Since you are alive, why should you die? Since you will die sooner or later, why should you live?
Lin Chaolong smoothed things over and said, "Stop relaxing, your aunt is not in good health today."
Chu Wenxi said: "I'm very good!"
Lin Chaolong seemed a little embarrassed, but secretly praised Chu Wenxi for his very good cooperation.
Zhang Chi sat down. Lin Daiyu wanted to sit next to him, but Chu Wenxi said: "Xiaoyu, go to the kitchen and see if the nanny has prepared the food."
Lin Daiyu knew that she deliberately wanted to get away from him, so Lin Chaolong smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
He took his daughter and coaxed her to the kitchen. Lin Daiyu couldn't help but look back in the restaurant and said angrily: "Dad, you don't care about my mother. My classmate is here. She has a straight face. Who is she talking to?"
It’s like I owe her money.”
Lin Chaolong comforted his daughter and said, "It's not like you don't know. This boy has offended your mother in the past and asked them to talk alone. He is so talkative. Let's see if he can coax your mother into doing well."
Lin Daiyu said: "Don't think I can't see that you are working together to deceive others and then make things difficult for them."
Lin Chaolong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "My dear daughter, is your father's style just a little bit like this? Hurry up and prepare the food. Don't worry, your mother knows it. She is just pretending to test this kid on purpose."
Zhang Daxian thought that the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him. It was so false. It didn't work with me. She had offended Huang Chunxiao a lot in the past. She must be picky about herself.
Chu Wenxi said: "You are very capable, and you can actually pass the Shuimu exam."
Zhang Chi said: "Copied!"
Chu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, copied? You can still copy in the college entrance examination. Even if you are allowed to copy, who can copy the top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Yannan Province?
She immediately realized that the boy said that on purpose and glared at him: "To amuse me?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from my aunt. I've long heard from Xiao Yu that you have a sharp gaze and nothing can be hidden from your eyes. You can see that. I admit that I actually took the exam based on my strength."
Chu Wenxi felt that this guy obviously didn't follow common sense and was too slick. He flattered himself in one sentence and at the same time showed off at the same time.
Chu Wenxi felt a little strange. There was a big contrast between Lin Daiyu's personality and this kid's.
One is a noble and elegant lady, and the other is a cunning and cunning philistine boy. No wonder Lin Chaolong doesn't like Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi and he are not the same people at all.
Lin Chaolong likes to be pretentious in everything he does, and is particularly concerned about his public image. Although Zhang Chi restrained himself in front of them today, he still couldn't hide his grassroots temperament.
Chu Wenxi said: "Are you an orphan?"
Zhang Chi nodded. There is nothing to hide from the facts that are known to everyone. What happened to the orphans? The country also cares about orphans.
Chu Wenxi said: "Have you ever heard of the saying that a person of equal means is equal?"
Zhang Chi nodded again and looked at Chu Wenxi with a smile. It was really difficult to use this method to attack my self-esteem.
In the past, I might have felt that way when I was younger, but now I know that my background is not simple. My grandfather Zhang Tugen, no! Zhang Qingfeng was also a great person back then, and I am also a well-established person... This seems to be waiting for me
Discuss.
Chu Wenxi said: "Let me just say it directly, I don't agree with you dating Xiaoyu."
Zhang Chi asked knowingly: "Auntie, what kind of relationship are you talking about? Be specific."
Chu Wenxi found that her successive moves were defused by this guy with four ounces of force, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, she said coldly: "I don't agree with you falling in love."
Zhang Daxian laughed and said, "Auntie, you are overthinking. How old are we? It is when we are studying hard for the country. We have so much homework, how can we have time to fall in love?"
Chu Wenxi realized that this was a character who was not afraid of boiling water, so he nodded and said: "That's good."
"But I still don't quite understand. Do you mean not letting Lin Daiyu fall in love or not letting her fall in love with me?" Zhang Chi began to fight back.
Chu Wenxi said: "No way! Xiaoyu will soon go to Europe to study, and we don't want her to delay her future because of her feelings."
Zhang Chi nodded with enlightenment: "Friendship between classmates can also delay the future. Auntie, aren't you thinking too much?"
Chu Wenxi began to understand why Lin Daiyu liked this boy. He was messy, articulate, and clear-minded. Under such circumstances, he was neither humble nor arrogant nor inferior.
After starting a low-key and humble defense, he actually launched a counterattack without showing any weakness. This guy is a talent. It is really impressive that an orphan from an ordinary working-class family can be so good.
Zhang Chi said: "How is the relationship between aunt and my master recently?"
He would stimulate Huang Chunxiao no matter which pot he did not open. If you make me uncomfortable, why should I make you feel comfortable?
Chu Wenxi's delicate face was calm and she said softly: "It's okay, I hope she's safe."
Zhang Chi said: "Some things can only be cherished once they are lost."
Chu Wenxi felt the same way and said: "Yes!"
Zhang Chi had a strange feeling. The Huang Chunxiao in front of her was completely different from the one she remembered in the past. It seemed that the misfortune encountered by her master had changed her a lot. This old woman suddenly became more profound.
His phone rang, and it was his uncle Zhang Guofu. His uncle asked him if he was back. Zhang Chi didn't hide it, saying that he had returned to Beichen, but there were some things that he couldn't get away from, so he didn't bother to visit him.
Zhang Guofu was actually not in Beichen either. His family was traveling, so he called Zhang Chi to tell him, fearing that he would be in vain when he came back.
Zhang Chi found that at least this uncle still had a feeling for him in his heart, and he liked him a little more.
Hanging up the phone, he smiled apologetically at Chu Wenxi and said, "My uncle!"
Chu Wenxi didn't expect that he still had an uncle: "Your uncle is also in Beichen?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
At this time, Lin Chaolong walked over and said with a smile: "His uncle's name is Zhang Guofu, and he works at the city notary office."
Immortal Zhang was startled when he heard this. Lin Chaolong seemed to have checked himself thoroughly. Old Lin was very meticulous in his work.
If he fell in love with Lin Daiyu, would Lao Lin take revenge on his uncle?
It stands to reason that his status as a big boss should not be that low, but why did he say that? Was he reminding me?
Chu Wenxi's eyes lit up.
"Is your grandfather Zhang Tugen?"
Immortal Zhang was startled in his heart. Not only was he stunned, but Lin Chaolong was also stunned. Although he had thoroughly checked the Zhang family's information, he had not told Chu Wenxi, and Chu Wenxi was not interested in these things.
Why did she say Grandpa Zhang Chi's name in one breath? Did Chu Wenxi know Zhang Tugen? This is almost certain.
Zhang Chi nodded, not feeling too surprised. After all, Beichen was not that old, and Huang Chunxiao was not from a wealthy family in the past, so it was normal for him to know his grandfather.
Lin Chaolong thought it was abnormal. Huang Chunxiao had never known the Zhang family. It was Chu Wenxi who knew the Zhang family. He immediately changed the subject and said: "It's time to eat, Zhang Chi, it's time to eat!"
Lin Daiyu also shouted from the restaurant: "Mom! Zhang Chi, it's time to eat!"
Zhang Chi said respectfully: "Auntie, let's eat."
According to the original script, Chu Wenxi should have walked away to embarrass Zhang Chi, but she didn't do that. She actually nodded and stood up.
Lin Chaolong was smiling all over his face and seemed very pleased, but his heart was filled with astonishment. What happened to Chu Wenxi?
I had made it clear to her before that I had asked her to humiliate and suppress Zhang Chi mercilessly. Given my daughter's temperament, this would inevitably lead to conflicts with her.
According to this plan, it can not only suppress relaxation, but also freeze the relationship between mother and daughter, giving them a legitimate excuse to alienate each other. It should be the result of killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Wenxi deeply agreed with this, because she really couldn't play the role of a loving mother well, and she couldn't face Huang Chunxiao and this daughter.
Lin Chaolong understood that he no longer expected Chu Wenxi to care and care for his daughter like Huang Chunxiao. He was inevitably disappointed when he thought about this, but Chu Wenxi's performance today made him deeply puzzled.
Lin Daiyu felt a little relieved when she saw her mother and Zhang Chi coming together. It seemed that there was no too fierce conflict just now, and her mother still maintained politeness and restraint in public.
Lin Chaolong passed by his daughter, smiled and winked at her, meaning I said it was okay, but he felt uneasy because Chu Wenxi was uncontrollable.
Lin Daiyu originally wanted Zhang Chi to sit next to her, but Lin Chaolong asked Zhang Chi to sit next to her.
Only after Zhang Chi sat down did he realize that what he had eaten today was Western food.
Damn it!
Zhang Chi has no interest in Western food. He doesn't understand Western food etiquette at all. He has never read any books on this topic. When he saw the knives and forks on the table, his scalp tightened. Now he was in trouble. He might be embarrassed today.
Lin Daiyu Bingxue was smart. She picked up the knife and fork first, holding the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right hand. Immortal Zhang was ready to learn and sell now.
Chu Wenxi suddenly said: "Sister Guo, bring me a pair of chopsticks." After that, he said to Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, do you want them?"
Now not only Lin Chaolong, but also Lin Daiyu was surprised. What happened to her today? Could it be that she was deliberately mocking Zhang Chi? But her mother's expression did not indicate any disdain or disdain.
Zhang Chi also suspected that it was a trick, but he was really not used to using the knife and fork. He could use it to cut people, but it didn't feel cold at all when he used it to eat.
He smiled and said, "I rarely eat Western food, and I'm really not used to using knives and forks." It's better to give up than to show off in a high-level environment. If you can't do it, you just can't do it.
Chu Wenxi said: "Get another pair."
Lin Daiyu said: "Give me a pair too."
Lin Chaolong held a knife and fork in his hand, which made it obvious that he was a different kind of person. Lin Chaolong even suspected that Chu Wenxi had begun to switch sides. Was she deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?
Chu Wenxi looked at Zhang Chi, and Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Her mother had a deep-rooted prejudice against Zhang Chi, and it seemed that she was trying to find fault with him in various ways.
Lin Chaolong hoped that Chu Wenxi had just retreated in order to advance, preparing to hold back her big move. Isn't it easy for her to deal with a child with her wisdom?
"Aren't you used to Western food?" Chu Wenxi's voice became obviously softer.
Zhang Chi nodded. There was nothing to admit. If you are not used to it, you are not used to it.
Lin Daiyuxin said that it was not because of you that she had to prepare Western food to make things difficult for Zhang Chi. She was still too young and did not see through her parents' tricks in advance.
Chu Wenxi said: "Sister Guo, bring up the chicken soup and stir-fry some delicious vegetables."
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhang Daxian couldn't believe that it was Huang Chunxiao. In just a short time, his attitude towards him had taken a 180-degree turn.
Routine! It must be a routine! But he never felt any hostility from Huang Chunxiao from the beginning to the end, and she didn't seem to have such a big prejudice against me. Is it because I have a sensory failure, or has she changed her impression of me?
Zhang Chi said: "No trouble, no trouble, I'll make do with some food."
Lin Chaolong felt depressed, what do you mean by just eating something, you don't taste enough and you think my food is not good?
Chu Wenxi smiled and said: "What's the trouble? You are Xiaoyu's classmate. In our eyes, you are just like your own child. Don't be polite to us. Just treat it as your own home."
Lin Chaolong was completely confused, Chu Wenxi, what are you doing? I asked you to help me push people out, but you insist on facing me and treating it as your own home? What do you mean? Are you trying to
Do you want to recognize my son-in-law for me? I am Xiaoyu’s biological father. If you fail, all your plans for today will fall apart!
A good Western meal has become a combination of Chinese and Western, neither local nor foreign. Lin Chaolong is a person who attaches great importance to the sense of ritual in life. Chu Wenxi is even more particular about this aspect than him. Why did he suddenly make such a change?
Lin Chaolong was very unhappy, but he still had to keep a smile on his face. It was really hard to sell the persona of a father in front of his daughter. He suggested: "How about we have a couple of drinks, and I'll go get a bottle of wine."
"
Zhang Daxian said: "Uncle, I don't drink."
Lin Daiyu glanced at him, could she be more hypocritical? You clearly drank with my dad last time in the capital.
Lin Chaolong smiled and said: "How can a man not drink? I remember you drank last time." He got up and went to get the wine. After walking some distance, he said: "Chunxiao, where did you put my Moutai?"
Chu Wenxi smiled. She knew that Lin Chaolong's real intention was not to ask her to help find wine, so she got up and walked over.
Lin Chaolong was waiting for her in front of the wine cabinet. His face was obviously a little ugly, and he whispered: "What are you doing? Didn't we agree before?"
Chu Wenxi reached out and took out a bottle of 50-year-old Moutai from the wine cabinet. The market price of this bottle of wine was close to 20,000 yuan, and it had been saved for ten years. The price had at least doubled. Lin Chaolongxin said that she was willing to give it up. It was not that he was worried about money.
But today Chu Wenxi's change was too fast.
Chu Wenxi said: "I think he's pretty good!"
Lin Chaolong said: "But..."
Chu Wenxi handed the wine into his hand: "Such a senior boss must be ambitious. If you don't like it, act like a villain!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and said, "Zhang Chi, do you prefer to drink national wine or foreign wine?"
Zhang Chi said: "Then go to the National Bar."
Lin Chaolong shook his head and could only walk back with the bottle of Maotai. Although Zhang Daxian also drank a lot of Maotai, this was the first time he drank Maotai in fifty years. This bottle of wine was worth his two years of living expenses.
The quality of Lin's soft rice is really high.
The nanny quickly brought the dishes to the table. After all, it was a large family and the preparations were quite rich. At this time, four kinds of kung fu cold dishes were prepared.
Immortal Zhang secretly lamented that reincarnation is a university subject. Compared with Lin Daiyu, he and Lin Daiyu were born in the same heaven and earth, grew up in a honey pot and soaked in bitter water, a wealthy lady, and an outstanding young man. The gap should not be too big.
It’s no wonder that other people’s parents don’t want to see me. Being a good match is actually a very real problem.
The Western food was instantly replaced by Chinese food, and Lin Chaolong also changed the bowls and chopsticks. He found that Zhang Chi had really become a distinguished guest.
After opening the wine, Zhang Chi took the initiative to pour wine for Lin Chaolong. He said politely to Huang Chunxiao: "Auntie, do you want to drink?"
Lin Chaolong said: "She doesn't drink..."
Huang Chunxiao said: "It's rare to be so happy. Pour me a drink."
Lin Chaolong and his daughter were both stunned. What happened? Are they trying to pretend to be crazy through drinking?
