Chapter 226: Cold Noodles
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Delicious!” After Xi Wan gave a compliment, she continued to enjoy her cold noodles.
Mrs. Tang’s smile deepened unconsciously when she saw that Xi Wan was satisfied. “You and Mr. Su are so loving. When outsiders like us see you, we can’t help but sigh at the beautiful relationship between you and Mr. Su!”
‘I???” Xi Wan swallowed the noodles in her mouth and asked in confusion, “Didn’t Su Xun go on a business trip? Did he secretly return to the country to give me a surprise?”
Xi Wan thought of the possibility and widened her eyes in shock, “Could it be
Su Xun that prepared these delicious cold noodles?”
Mrs. Tang could not help but laughed at Xi Wan’s surprised expression. She said, “Mr. Su didn’t return to the country but he really misses you, Madam. The cold noodles prepared this time were suggested by Mr. Su and the chef was also the former head chef of the state banquet that Mr. Su spent a lot of money to hire.”
“The former head chef of the state banquet.” Xi Wan felt that he was an impressive person just by hearing this title. “No wonder this bowl of cold noodles is so delicious!”
Mrs. Tang covered her mouth and chuckled. “Mr. Su originally told me not to tell you this. He just wanted you to come on vacation happily, but Mr. Su often goes on business trips and leaves you alone in the country. I thought that it’s not easy for the both of you to get along. It’s better to let each other know your feelings for each other, so I told you about this. I also hope that you know that Mr. Su misses you very much, so don’t alienate him just because he can’t be by your side all the time!”
Xi Wan did not expect Mrs. Tang to be like an elder in her family and would be so concerned about her and Su Xun. She was touched. “Thank you, Mrs. Tang.” Xi Wan was always afraid of heat and liked to eat cold food. She always ate popsicles, ice cream, and other food. She suffered a lot during her period because she could not stop eating cold food.
She did not expect that Su Xun, who hadn’t really spent much time with her, would notice the small details of her fear of heat.
The system teased: [This antagonist’s thoughtfulness has helped him score a lot of points, right, host?]
“I’m not telling you.” Xi Wan replied to the system perfunctorily before continuing to eat her cold noodles.
Just as Xi Wan was happily discussing the cold noodles with everyone, Cheng Shi sneered.
This extremely discordant voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Cheng Shi attracted everyone’s attention as she wished. She said, “If what Mrs. Tang said is true, then why didn’t Mr. Su just invite the former head chef of the state banquet to be their chef at home instead of going through so much trouble to invite him to come here? Mrs. Tang, even if you want to flatter Xi Wan, you don’t have to make up such a ridiculous excuse, do you?”
Mrs. Tang’s expression turned cold.
In fact, it was not just Mrs. Tang. Many of the other ladies present also looked upset.
Cheng Shi did not care about that and continued, “We’re all old acquaintances, but Mrs. Su has been here less than five times in total. She rarely attends large-scale social events. I don’t think any of you ladies have had the chance to get to know Mrs. Su, right?”
Cheng Shi’s words did not only offend Xi Wan, but also the other ladies who were present.
Xi Wan raised her eyebrows. She felt that the current Cheng Shi had a feeling that she was too ‘crazy’ to be human.
Not only did Cheng Shi not consider the relationship between the various families like the others, but she did not even consider the most basic difference between the enemy and herself, now and just now. It was simply a kind of self-destructive madness.
No wonder she would do something so stupid as a kidnapping.
After all, Mrs. Tang was the wife of the head of the Tang family. None of her subordinates would be so disrespectful to her. She naturally would not allow a junior like Cheng Shi to be so disrespectful in front of her.
“People are indeed different. Some people make people happy when they see them.” Mrs. Tang smiled kindly at Xi Wan, then turned to look at Cheng Shi coldly with a contemptuous smile. “And I wouldn’t care to take a glance at some people even if they were in a hurry to pay me to look at them.”
“You’re just a lackey. Where did you get the sense of superiority to talk about my daughter?” Mrs. Cheng did not want to provoke Xi Wan at first, but her daughter had failed to live up to her expectations. She had tried to mock Xi Wan several times and was even mocked by others, so she really could not put with it anymore.
