Chapter 149: Take Him Out To Sell
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the protagonist of this banquet, Shen Tianci was naturally the center of attention. Not only did the young masters pull him away to chat, but the young ladies from various families also looked at him shyly from time to time.
Someone suggested playing drums and passing the flowers. In the next moment, the drums and flowers were ready.
Looking at the eager expressions of the young masters and ladies, Xiaoxiao knew very well that this was actually a talent exhibition in disguise. She was not interested in participating, but she enjoyed watching the performance. Seeing that her brothers were still in a bad mood, she leaned over and whispered to them, “Who cares which young master or young lady it is? They’re also performing for us for free now. Brothers, at least smile and give them some face.”
Her nonchalant expression made He Ruhuan very dissatisfied. Not long after, a servant hurriedly ran over from the kitchen and reported to Mrs. Shen, “Madam, bad news. Something happened in the kitchen.”
Mrs. Shen frowned and heard this person say, “The head chef accidentally injured his hand and still hasn’t made a few signature dishes. How can this be good?”
Mrs. Shen waved her hand. “Let the chef at home take over.” The chef of the Shen Family was good at cooking, and ordinary chefs could not compare to her. The servant’s expression was ugly. “The steward has already gotten someone to invite her just now, but for some reason, she hasn’t arrived yet. It’s almost time for the banquet…”
He Ruhuan used the time to drink tea to hide the smile on her lips. She glanced at the young masters and young ladies in the hall, who were either influential or rich businessmen. If they treated people but neglected these guests at the banquet, the Shen Family could not afford to lose face.
However, when she turned around, she met Xiaoxiao’s clear and bright eyes. When she looked at her, it was as if she knew everything. He Ruhuan retracted her gaze reflexively. After that, she felt that she had lost her aura, so she raised her head and glared back.
Coincidentally, the servant who came to report looked up at Mrs. Shen in panic, then quickly lowered his head and stammered, “Why don’t we get Miss Ning to help…”
Xiaoxiao took a closer look and recognized that this person was one of the followers who had accompanied Shen Tianci to her house for a meal.
He did not dare to look up, but he still said what he had been instructed to say. “After all, Miss Ning is a chef.”
With a bang, the end of the servant’s sentence was covered by the sound of the teacup shattering. Mrs. Shen was still as gentle as before, but she leaned back lazily. “Go down and change a teacup for me.”
The servant was worried that Madam did not hear him clearly. He looked up and was about to say, “Madam, Miss Ning…”
Mrs. Shen rested her chin on one hand. “Didn’t you hear me?”
The servant shuddered. Only then did he see the coldness in his mistress’s eyes. His scalp went numb and his legs went weak as he left.
When he got up, Mrs. Shen instructed the nanny beside her calmly, “Take him out to sell.”
{Wow,} Xiaoxiao exclaimed. So this was the aura of the mistress of a rich family.
Noticing her gaze, Mrs. Shen took her hand and patted it. “With me around, 1 won’t let anyone bully you.”
Shen Tianci also said, “That’s right. I invited you here as guests. How can I let the guests help me work?”
Xiaoxiao was a little touched, but other than that, there was still no news of the cook from the Shen Family after 10 minutes. Not to mention Mrs. Shen, even Shen Tianci fell silent. But even so, they did not mention asking Xiaoxiao to go to the kitchen.
He Ruhuan tightened her grip on her handkerchief. Why was she still unwilling to let Ning Xiaoxiao go?
Mrs. Shen instructed calmly, “Let’s not wait anymore. Just serve the dishes like this.”
It was not inconvenient for the chef to cook, but it was just that without the signature dishes of the chef, it lacked some style.
Although Shen Tianci said that it didn’t matter, he couldn’t hide his disappointment. “1 told you there’s no need to celebrate this useless birthday.”
Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what he had said when she first arrived. He said that those people were just hypocritical when they came to celebrate his birthday. If he knew that these hypocritical people were scheming, would he be very… disappointed?
Sighing, Xiaoxiao stood up and stretched her shoulders.. “Shen Tianci, where’s your kitchen?”
