Chapter 69 Hello, I'll Come Out and Slap in the Face (Part 1)
Bai Qi couldn't understand where Nan Wuli's mysterious self-confidence came from? Who stipulated that Mr. Shen must be an elite and high-level person before he can make an appointment, while ordinary people can only look up to him?
Shen Ci is not hung on the wall, so what are you looking up to? How long has it been since the fall of the Qing Dynasty? Why are your thoughts still so feudal?
Besides, it was really not Shen Ci who took the initiative to find her in the first place. It was clearly the old man who wanted to entangle her. Bai Qi suffered from a headache for a long time. He opened a small mountain and river house and managed to get people over before he finally calmed down.
Bai Qi raised his eyelashes, and his eyes were exceptionally clear: "Miss Nan knows Mr. Shen..." The word "tou" almost blurted out, but luckily he stopped it quickly, "...Master?"
Nan Wuli said proudly: "I was lucky enough to meet him once by chance."
Lucky? Bai Qi smiled silently, just say goodbye...
If Shen Ci knew that outsiders were ruining his reputation and describing him as a cold-faced and arrogant black-hearted old man, he would probably kill him all the way from the kitchen with a kitchen knife!
Hearing Nan Wuli's deliberate targeting, Lu Xinran, who was sitting aside, finally found some confidence and voice: "The Lu family invited Mr. Shen to cook a banquet at home in the early years. Although it has been many years, I still remember Shen to this day. The dishes cooked by the old man are delicious! I remember that there was a dessert of shredded yam after the dinner, which is still unforgettable after such a long time. Since Miss Bai and Mr. Shen know each other, why don't you ask Miss Bai to ask Mr. Shen to make this dessert again? Let us all have a good time.”
Lu Xinran's words were extremely clever. While showing off that he had the ability to hire a master to cook for state banquets, he directly pushed Bai Qi to a higher position.
The implication is: Aren’t you quite capable? Don’t you know Mr. Shen Ci? Didn’t you also recommend him to work here? It sounds like we have a good friendship! Since we are familiar with each other, it is not enough to ask the old man to make desserts for you. Strange, right? If it can't be done, wouldn't Bai Qi's argument just be self-defeating?
The seemingly flattering words pushed Bai Qi into a corner. Either she really asked Mr. Shen to take action, or she honestly admitted that it was all a bluff! Lu Xinran shot her an extremely arrogant glance proudly.
Bai Qi suddenly laughed: "Drawing yam? I'm afraid not."
Lu Xinran and Nan Wuli were immediately filled with fighting spirit.
"Huh? Didn't Miss Bai just brazenly say that she knew Mr. Shen?" Nan Wuli said hurriedly, "Can a child from a poor family recommend Mr. Shen to come here? I thought Miss Bai was very capable! Tsk tsk... The Lu family You can invite Mr. Shen to a dinner party, but why can’t Miss Bai even invite a dessert?”
The tone was full of disdainful questioning.
Everyone felt a little strange. Putting aside whether Bai Qi's words were true, why did the three main creators suddenly come into conflict tonight?
Ye Ji was very quiet, and his eyes rested on Bai Qi with great interest. Unlike others who had doubts or strange emotions, Ye Ji's eyes were always very gentle. Instead, he looked at Lu Xinran and Nan Wuli with a hint of amusement. It feels cold, as if you are watching two clowns.
After all, Ji Ze is his biological brother. How could there be anything unclear about his elder brother's face? He understood immediately: No matter whether what Bai Qi said was true or false, as long as the elder brother is here, what she said is true!
Bai Qi's bright eyes narrowed slightly: "It's not that I can't invite you, but it's impossible for anyone to eat this dessert from Mr. Shen."
Nan Wuli wanted to hear Bai Qi's dying struggle: "Oh?" he said slowly and protractedly.
