Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Such Peculiar Tastes
Of course, Shen Nian was doing it on purpose. She wanted to gross out Guo Chunxiang and see if she’d dare to come over and bully her family again!
Hearing Shen Nian’s words, Guo Chunxiang glanced at the two dishes on the table. She was still a little hungry, but one look at them brought back that nauseating feeling.
"No, thanks. I’m not hungry. Don’t go to any trouble!"
’I can’t have Shen Nian bringing out two even more disgusting dishes later. That would literally be the death of me!’
However, it seemed fate wasn’t on Guo Chunxiang’s side. The moment she finished speaking, her stomach let out a loud RUMBLE. Everyone in the room turned to look at her, and her face went pale, then flushed with embarrassment.
"I just ate before I left home. My stomach is just digesting!"
Her stomach growled right after she claimed she wasn’t hungry. The reversal was almost instantaneous. Naturally, Guo Chunxiang wasn’t about to admit she was hungry. If she did, she’d never be able to hold her head high in front of this family again!
"Oh, since Auntie isn’t hungry, then I won’t make anything! But if you change your mind and get hungry later, just let me know! I think... I’m suddenly getting a little interested in cooking!"
After saying this, Shen Nian gave Guo Chunxiang a pointed smile.
Seeing Shen Nian’s smile, Guo Chunxiang felt that wave of nausea return.
’No, no, I can’t let Shen Nian keep talking like this, or I’ll be miserable all day! This girl is just a pretty face. Her cooking is absolutely abysmal! She’s definitely going to have a hard time with her in-laws!’
With that thought, Guo Chunxiang’s attention shifted to Lu Cheng, who was standing beside Shen Nian.
She had attended Shen Nian and Lu Cheng’s wedding. Although Lu Cheng had only made a brief appearance, she had at least gotten a glimpse of him. Besides, seeing how close he was standing to Shen Nian now, she could easily guess his identity.
"Well, well, Shen Nian, don’t tell me this is the first time you’re visiting home with your husband? You’ve been married for so long. Isn’t this first visit a little late?!"
Everyone present knew exactly what kind of person Guo Chunxiang was. She never had a nice thing to say. If you took her words to heart, you’d have been angered to death long ago!
"Auntie, when we come back to visit my family is our business. Aren’t you overstepping a bit?!"
"I’m just making conversation, no need to be so defensive! You’re not having a hard time with your in-laws and are afraid people will talk, are you? It makes sense. With cooking skills this bad, it’d be a miracle if your parents-in-law liked you!"
Guo Chunxiang finished speaking and snorted inwardly. ’What’s the use of being pretty if she can’t even cook a single dish? Her in-laws will definitely despise her!’
"Sister-in-law, that’s going too far! You’re Xiao Nian’s aunt, after all. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all! Our Xiao Nian is doing very well with her in-laws, so you don’t need to worry about her!"
"Hey, I was just speaking my mind. Besides, I was just stating the facts!"
After saying that, Guo Chunxiang gestured toward the two dishes Shen Nian had made, though she didn’t dare look at them herself, afraid she’d feel sick again.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Xiao Nian is doing very well in our family. My parents are very fond of her, and all of us love the food she cooks."
Lu Cheng, who had been standing silently by Shen Nian’s side, finally spoke up. The moment he did, all eyes turned to him.
Shen Nian’s family was naturally very relieved and pleased that Lu Cheng had stepped in at that moment.
Guo Chunxiang, on the other hand, stared with eyes wider than anyone’s when she heard what Lu Cheng said.
’Good heavens! The Lu Family actually likes to eat this kind of food? Their taste is just too bizarre!’
