Chapter 142: The snipe and the clam fight, but the fisherman wins
Chapter 142: The snipe and the clam fight, but the fisherman wins
Xu Xinyuan was very surprised.
She never thought that she would bump into Chen Qiaoen at this time.
And judging from the situation, Chen Qiaoen arrived earlier than her!
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoen groaned. She put down the cup, crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Xu Xinyuan, and asked:
"Why can't I come here?"
"Why? Is this your home?"
"Do I have to give you a report?"
She was aggressive and her words were sharp.
Coupled with the series of questioning, she acted like a complete hostess.
If it were someone else, they might have been shocked by the aura she displayed and would not know what to say when asked.
But Xu Xinyuan has been in this mixed entertainment industry for more than ten years, and has seen and dealt with all kinds of monsters.
Therefore, not only was she not affected by the aura released by Chen Qiaoen, she was also not put in a passive position.
Instead, he noticed the wooden box on the table, realized something, and immediately sneered.
Xu Xinyuan put the box in her hand on the table, sat down opposite Chen Qiaoen, and said:
"Oh, it seems that Ms. Chen is a fast learner. I just delivered one at noon today, and you already learned it by the evening?"
Chen Qiaoen was unmoved: "So what? Did you apply for a patent? Only you can do this, and others have to pay you? And, if I remember correctly, Teacher Jiang didn't invite you. You just barged in, didn't you? Ms. Xu, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
These words hit Xu Xinyuan's right eye, causing her expression to change suddenly.
Because from just now until now.
Jiang Nian never took the initiative to invite her.
But she soon recovered as usual: "So? Do you think that I am as distant from Teacher Jiang as you are? Besides, this is Teacher Jiang's home. It seems that it is not your turn as an outsider to say whether I leave or not. Don't you think so, Teacher Jiang?"
After saying that, Xu Xinyuan looked at Jiang Nian.
She was obviously smiling, but Jiang Nian felt a chill at that moment.
The key is that it would be fine if she was the only one like this.
But, after she finished speaking.
Chen Qiaoen also looked over and said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, what is the relationship between you and her?"
"Forehead"
Facing the questions raised by the two women.
Jiang Nian just felt a headache.
Because now it doesn't matter whether he is on Chen Qiaoen or Xu Xinyuan.
Whatever you say will inevitably offend the other party.
So, after a brief thought.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Jiang Nian said.
Changing the subject is not necessarily the most effective approach.
But at this time, it is undoubtedly the best way.
Because if these two people just go along with him, nothing will happen.
On the contrary, if anyone speaks against him, Jiang Nian will not tolerate her either.
As for if both of them don't agree.
This is even simpler, just get out of here.
Because things have developed to this point.
That means there is no way to remedy the situation, and there is no need to remedy it.
Just like a leaky boat, what you need to do is not to fix it, but to quickly pick up the life jacket and run to the shore.
What should be given up should be given up, and what should be thrown away should be thrown away.
Otherwise, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.
The two women had no idea what Jiang Nian was thinking.
They were just slightly stunned after hearing Jiang Nian's words.
Xu Xinyuan was the first to react, and she looked at Chen Qiaoen and chuckled:
"Teacher Jiang is right. I'm here to deliver food. Why am I talking to you about these useless things?"
"It would be bad if Teacher Jiang went hungry because of you."
"Come, Teacher Jiang, take a look at the dishes I prepared for you."
After saying that, she opened her lunch box.
Suddenly, an extremely rich and fresh fragrance hit me in the face.
Jiang Nian looked over and saw it in this inconspicuous lunch box.
It was filled with abalone, sea cucumber, oysters, shelled lobsters, crabs and other seafood.
The main focus is luxury.
Seeing this, Chen Qiaoen's eyes fixed.
Obviously, he didn't expect Xu Xinyuan to be so well prepared.
But she was not afraid.
Instead, he covered his mouth and sneered:
"You gave Teacher Jiang so many cold foods so late at night. Do you want Teacher Jiang to have diarrhea tonight?"
"Teacher Jiang, you should eat mine. Although it's not as luxurious, it's definitely better than her gout meal."
After that, she also showed the dishes she brought.
Although not as luxurious as Xu Xinyuan's.
But each one was a staple dish, pork elbow, beef brisket with potatoes, fried garlic sprouts, and even considering that Jiang Nian was from Dongqi, they specially fried egg sauce to make a dip for the pickled vegetables.
She and Xu Xinyuan each have their own merits!
"You really put in a lot of homework!"
Xu Xinyuan said this in her heart, but soon noticed something and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, the vegetables you bought don't seem to be very good. The garlic sprouts look old. Did you buy them from that roadside stall?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoen did not refute her, but turned her head with a strange look on her face:
"Buy? I made all these dishes. Didn't you make yours yourself?"
"Secondly, the garlic sprouts are not old. I reheated them. Don't you know that reheated garlic sprouts are the most delicious?"
The words fell.
Along with it, Xu Xinyuan's raised mouth corners also fell.
She stared at Chen Qiaoen with wide eyes: "What did you say? You did it yourself?"
"Yes, this is a meal prepared for Teacher Jiang after all, so it must be made by myself to show my sincerity, right? Sister Xu, aren't the dishes you brought made by you yourself?"
Chen Qiaoen asked pretending to be ignorant.
But the smugness in her eyes revealed her true thoughts.
After Xu Xinyuan opened the lunch box, Chen Qiaoen was shocked by the luxurious cuisine at first.
But soon, she realized from the presentation and the way the dishes were prepared that this was definitely not made by Xu Xinyuan herself.
As expected, Xu Xinyuan was stumped by the question.
She never thought that Chen Qiaoen would be so decisive.
He actually cooked for Jiang Nian himself.
You know, in this era when everyone calls Ma Yun "Dad", female stars all take the high-end route.
Everyone has never touched water.
Even if they can cook for themselves, most of the meals they make are diet meals, that is, salads.
Not to mention stewing the pork elbows and processing those ingredients.
In their view, this is completely intolerable and unacceptable.
"Oops."
Xu Xinyuan's heart sank.
At this moment, even if she wanted to insist that she cooked the dishes herself, it would be useless.
Because her previous performance has already denied this from the root.
If I force myself to agree at this moment.
Not only will it be of no use, but it will also label you as scheming.
"What a great move to remove the firepower!"
Xu Xinyuan said secretly.
But she soon thought of a way out, shrugged, and said, "Yeah, but I have no choice. After all, I can't cook. I can only order from the nearby Yuanyue Villa. This is also a kind of sincerity."
Yuanyue Villa, this is the best restaurant nearby. Ten or twenty thousand is just for the seat.
If you want to have a good meal, you can't afford it without more than 200,000 yuan.
Add to that the alcohol, even a million dollars wouldn’t be enough.
Chen Qiaoen obviously knew about this as well. He frowned slightly and said in an inexplicable tone, "So, Ms. Xu really spent a lot of money."
Xu Xinyuan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. After all, I really don't know how to do it. Professional matters should be left to professionals. I won't tinker with it. Otherwise, if it doesn't taste good when I eat it, then Teacher Jiang will be very upset."
"Haha, that's better than eating so much cold food and having diarrhea in the middle of the night."
Chen Qiaoen retorted sarcastically.
Seeing the two women speaking with sarcasm in their words.
It looked like a fight was about to break out at any second.
Even though Jiang Nian had seen a lot, he couldn't help but be amazed at this moment: "Turtle, this is too fierce, keep spraying!"
He felt that something was not right, so he quietly closed the door and prepared to stand in a corner where they couldn't see him, so as not to be implicated.
But, the old saying is true.
The more you fear something, the more it will come to you.
Xu Xinyuan and Chen Qiaoen saw that the two of them had been competing for a long time but no one was the winner.
Realize that this can't go on.
If you keep arguing, the food will get cold.
If there is nothing to eat, then their trip today will be in vain.
So, the two of them tacitly chose to end the competition and fast forward to the final stage to decide the winner.
They all looked at Jiang Nian and said in unison:
"Teacher Jiang, which of these two dishes do you prefer?"
"Ah this."
Feeling the two women's gazes falling on him, Jiang Nian was stunned.
Because at this moment, things have returned to the original multiple-choice question: who to please and who to offend.
"Damn, how bad is the relationship between them?"
"Can this f*cking come back?!"
Jiang Nian had a look of shock on his face.
But he couldn't change the subject as cleanly as he had done before and see the two women's reactions.
Because he was able to do this before because what the two women said at the time involved his privacy.
From the perspective of gender, their relationship is not that close.
It's like a friend you have a slightly better relationship with suddenly asks you to delete all your friends of the opposite sex except her.
It's totally unreasonable.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Jiang Nian to change the subject and see their reactions.
But now.
No one touched his privacy.
Chen Qiaoen and Xu Xinyuan were talking about food and were concerned about Jiang Nian.
And this meal cost him tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The other one was made by myself.
If Jiang Nian does this again, it would be a bit too much of a shame.
This makes Jiang Nian very troubled now.
The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.
No matter which one you throw away, it's a pity!
So, after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Nian turned and walked into the kitchen, and came out with a big bowl.
He looked at the two girls and clenched his fists: "Only children make choices, I want them all!"
Just as the optimal solution to the trolley problem is not to solve it.
Faced with the open and covert fighting between the two women, the best solution Jiang Nian could think of was to pretend.
Pretending to be ignorant and not understanding their subtext, he focused on the meal in order to divert the conflict directed at him.
As expected, the two women were slightly stunned when they heard Jiang Nian's answer.
"You, want them all?" Xu Xinyuan looked strange: "Are you serious?"
Under what circumstances can sending food to someone bring them closer together?
That means two people share a meal.
Therefore, whether it is her Xu Xinyuan or Chen Qiaoen.
The meals prepared for Jiang Nian were not only sumptuous but also large in portion, enough for two to three people.
Jiang Nian now says he wants them all
"Teacher Jiang, you are not acting like this because you don't know who to eat, right?"
Chen Qiaoen bluntly exposed Jiang Nian's thoughts.
Jiang Nian was unmoved by this, and instead asked: "What are you talking about? Can't it be that I am hungry and want to eat?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoen shrugged: "Okay, but if you can't finish it..."
"That's impossible. If I can't finish it, I'll wash my hair upside down today."
Jiang Nian said this in a firm tone, then put the two portions of rice into his bowls and started to eat with relish.
Seeing this, Chen Qiaoen and Xu Xinyuan didn't take it seriously at first.
I just thought Jiang Nian was just trying to show off, and I planned to talk to him slowly after Jiang Nian finished eating.
But later, as time went on, I saw that the dishes they brought were getting smaller and smaller.
The two women also showed confusion on their faces.
No, how can you eat so much?
"How many servings did you buy?"
Chen Qiaoen turned to look at Xu Xinyuan and asked.
Xu Xinyuan rarely argued with her, but after a brief pause, she said, "Two to three servings. How about you? How many servings did you make?"
"What I made is almost enough for two people," said Chen Qiaoen.
"So he is really hungry now?!"
Xu Xinyuan said, for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Because she had already thought about what she would say if Jiang Nian couldn't finish eating.
As a result, Jiang Nian's actions now directly blocked all the words in her heart!
He really can eat, and he really loves to eat!
"WTF?"
"Why can he eat so much?!"
Xu Xinyuan was puzzled and greatly shocked.
The same is true for Chen Qiaoen.
Seeing that the two women were staring at him, he was stunned.
Jiang Nian sneered inwardly.
With just these little tricks of yours, you still want to question Jiang Nian and embarrass him?
So tender!
However, his face remained as calm as ever, and he even looked at the two women and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Xu Xinyuan and Chen Qiaoen looked at each other and shook their heads: "No, you eat it."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
After saying that, Jiang Nian lowered his head and continued eating.
After finishing the two meals, Jiang Nian burped and said contentedly, "Thank you for the meal today. I am just 80% full. Do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Qiaoen and Xu Xinyuan were in a daze.
So much so that they didn't even know what they had said to Jiang Nian.
All they knew was that when they came to their senses, they were already standing outside the door, and Jiang Nian's door was tightly closed.
Seeing this, the two women fell silent again, and couldn't help but wonder why they came here tonight.
They didn't get to eat, their relationship didn't improve, and in the end, they didn't even get to spend the night at Jiang Nian's house.
What the hell.
I lost my wife and lost my troops.
