Chapter 475 - Noodles
Chapter 475 Noodles
The 16th of September of the lunar calendar arrived very quickly. It was Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu’s wedding day in Taoyuan Village.
The two families held a joint banquet. It meant that the cost of the banquet was shared. However, it didn’t really matter. The Gong Family would give the Xiao Family a hundred billion worth of betrothal gifts without blinking. Why would they bother about the cost of a small banquet?
The same went for the Xiao Family. With their current wealth, they would naturally not care about the tens of thousands.
Therefore, the two families came up with a plan. Mother Xiao would personally cook a few dishes. Then, the rest of the dishes would be delivered by the hotel.
After all, this was Mother Xiao’s daughter’s wedding. It was impossible for her to cook all the dishes personally. She would just cook a few specialty dishes and let the guests have a taste.
There were guests from everywhere. It was impossible to send all the villagers to a hotel. No hotel was that big. So it was more reasonable to hold the banquet in the village.
Before dawn, a helicopter rumbled toward Taoyuan Village.
As usual, the helicopter stopped at the sunning ground.
Then, three well-dressed young men and women came down.
Each of them was carrying a small box.
As soon as they came down, the three of them looked around curiously. However, the sky was still dark, so they couldn’t see anything.
One of the men, Kairen, asked curiously, “Misha, what is this place?”
Misha shook her head and said, “I don’t know either!” She was ordered to come here to do makeup for a woman. Even as the world’s top makeup artist, she wasn’t told anything else. She had a feeling their presence there was supposed to be confidential.
At this moment, Xie Zhenzhong came over and said very politely, “Miss Misha, welcome. I am Xie Zhenzhong, in charge of receiving all of you. Please follow me!”
Misha and the other two nodded and did not say anything more. They followed Xie Zhenzhong directly. Misha had climbed up from a mere makeup artist assistant to the chief makeup artist. Other than her excellent makeup skills, she was also very good at reading people. She would never say anything that she shouldn’t say, and she would never ask anything that she shouldn’t ask!
From Xie Zhenzhong’s introduction, it could be understood that these people did not want them to know where they were. They only needed to do their job well.
Xie Zhenzhong brought the three of them to the Xiao family home very quickly. The Xiao family had also woken up early for the wedding
When Mother Xiao saw Xie Zhenzhong bring the three beautiful and fashionable men and women home, her expression was filled with confusion.
Mother Xiao asked, “Zhenzhong, who are these?”
Xie Zhenzhong said, “Auntie, this is Misha. She is the makeup artist our boss has hired for Miss Xiao. These two are her assistants.” Then, Xie Zhenzhong continued to introduce them, “Misha, this auntie is the bride’s mother. You can call her Auntie Chen.
When Misha saw how respectful Xie Zhenzhong was to Mother Xiao, she quickly became polite as she introduced herself. “Auntie Chen. Hello. I’m Misha.” She extended her fair, beautiful, and slender hand. She wanted to shake Mother Xiao’s hand.
Mother Xiao was impressed by the beauty of Misha’s hand. It was like porcelain. Mother Xiao quickly wiped her hands on her apron. When Misha and her assistants saw this, the two assistants’ eyes furrowed. They saw the stains on Mother Xiao’s apron. Then, they looked at Mother Xiao with disdain and contempt in their eyes.
‘A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. How dirty!’
As for Misha, her expression didn’t change. She still had a smile on her face, and she didn’t retract her hand.
Xie Zhenzhong, who was beside them, had been paying attention to the changes in their expressions. Then, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
When his gaze swept over the two assistants, the corner of his mouth revealed a faint trace of sarcasm. The boss doesn’t even dare to mind Auntie Chen. Who are you two? How dare you look down on Auntie Chen?’
Xie Zhenzhong knew that these two were destined to be assistants forever.
Mother Xiao liked this beautiful and polite girl very much. She stretched out her hand and said with a smile, “Hello, Misha.”
After shaking her hand, Mother Xiao said with a smile, “Misha, you must be tired after coming all the way here. Take a rest. I’ll go and make some food for you.”
Misha shook her head and said, “Auntie, I want to meet the bride first. Then, we can come up with the most suitable style.”
Mother Xiao waved her hand with a smile and said, “Nothing is more important than food. You came here before dawn, so you must be hungry. You have to eat to have the strength to work, right?”
Misha was hesitant. In their line of work, the design was very important. For every individual, they had to design the most suitable makeup. The most successful design was to make the person feel stunning and comfortable. This required vision, brainpower, and excellent taste. It also took time to design the most suitable makeup.
However, she was indeed a little hungry.
At this moment, Misha’s female assistant, Julie, rushed in and said, “Auntie, Misha needs time to design her makeup. Besides, Misha only eats Western food and isn’t used to Chinese food at all.”
Her tone was quite polite. However, from her tone, one could hear her disdain and contempt for Mother Xiao.
Mother Xiao’s expression immediately became a little awkward.
Julie’s meaning was very clear. They didn’t care about eating breakfast here at all.
Xie Zhenzhong’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he cursed inwardly, ‘You people are really courting death!’
From the corner of her eyes, Misha noticed Xie Zhenzhong’s expression beside her. When she saw the awkward expression on Mother Xiao’s face, she thought to herself, ‘This is not good!’ She immediately smiled and said, “Auntie, we’ve been on the plane all the way here. We didn’t eat much on the plane, so we were really hungry. Then, I’ll have to trouble you to make some food for us.”
Mother Xiao nodded with a smile and said, “Okay, you guys sit here and wait for a while. I’ll make noodles, and it’ll be done soon.”
Julie wanted to say something else, but Misha nodded and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
After Mother Xiao Left, Julie spoke to Misha in the language of Country L. She was asking why Misha agreed to eat the dirty things cooked by a countrywoman? She didn’t care about Xie Zhenzhong at all. She assumed he didn’t understand their language.
Misha was a cautious person. She had been paying attention to Xie Zhenzhong’s expression. When she saw his dissatisfied expression, she immediately reminded Julie. But Julie didn’t care. She continued to criticize everything
Not long after, Xie Zhenzhong left. Then, two men in black arrived. Before Misha and the others could react, one of the men in black covered Julie’s mouth, and the other took her away. Misha and Kairen were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Xie Zhenzhong came out at this time and comforted them with a smile. He said in the language of Country L, “Miss Misha, don’t be afraid. Our boss feels that a person who is picky and disdains her employer cannot serve her employer well. Therefore, we’ll have to ask Miss Julie to leave first. I hope Miss Mischa won’t mind!”
Hearing Xie Zhenzhong speaking in their language, Julie, who had her mouth covered, immediately widened her beautiful eyes.
Misha finally recovered from her shock.
She nodded and then promised, “Don’t worry. I will definitely design good makeup for the bride and make her the most beautiful bride in the world.”
Xie Zhenzhong nodded and said, “Then, we will look forward to the most beautiful madam today.”
Then, his expression changed as he ordered the other two men in black coldly, “Take her away! Even our boss doesn’t dare to be picky with his mother-in-law. But she has said so many horrible things about Auntie Chen. Such people have to be taught a lesson.”
Julie’s face drained of blood. Her expression was full of fear. Then, she looked at Misha and Kairen, asking for help.
Misha and Kairen could only lower their heads and pretend not to see it.
Julie’s eyes revealed a look of fear and resentment.
Then, she was quickly taken away.
Julie was taken away from the living room. At this moment, there were only a few of them in the living room.
Although there were people working in the courtyard, the two men in black used a very sneaky method to escort Julie out. Therefore, Julie’s departure did not cause much of a stir.
However, when Mother Xiao came out with noodles and saw that there was one person missing, she asked with some doubt, “Huh? Where is the other lady?”
Xie Zhenzhong immediately smiled and said, “Auntie, that lady had something urgent to do and left in a hurry.”
Then, he stared at Mother Xiao’s bowl and asked, “Auntie, this means there’s an extra bowl, right? Let me eat it!”
Mother Xiao was immediately amused and said with a smile, “You’re really like a child. Do you think I didn’t make a bowl for you?”
Xie Zhenzhong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily, “Thank you, Auntie!”
Then, without waiting for Mother Xiao’s instructions, he ran into the kitchen. A moment later, he came out with a big bowl of noodles. With a few slurps, he finished the bowl.
Misha and Kairen were dumbfounded. ‘How long hasn’t this Mr. Xie eaten already?’
After Xie Zhenzhong finished eating the noodles, he noticed Misha and Kairen’s strange gazes. He looked embarrassed and then grumbled, “Are you going to eat? If not, I’ll finish them for you. Don’t worry, Auntie’s noodles are better than the ones you have in Country L.”
Mother Xiao brought Misha her bowl of noodles. “Miss Misha, please have a taste.” Then, she turned around to carry another bowl.
Xie Zhenzhong immediately said, “Auntie, let me help you!” This meant that he could sneak a few more bites. He was full, but he always had more space for Mother Xiao’s cooking.
Mother Xiao knew about the size of Xie Zhenzhong’s appetite, so she did cook extra for him.
Misha and Kairen could smell the fragrance of the noodles from afar.
Although the noodles were cooked simply with clear broth and some scallions, the fragrance was overflowing.
Therefore, when they saw the noodles, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
It was too fragrant.
Misha couldn’t wait to have a bite.
She picked a noddle up and tried it.
“Wow, it’s so fragrant,” Misha exclaimed.
This caused Kairen beside her to grab his chopsticks too.
Then, Misha didn’t care about her usual ladylike image and started eating in big mouthfuls. Kairen, who was beside her, was stunned.
Mother Xiao hadn’t served him his bowl yet.
“Here, your noodles are here!” Xie Zhenzhong finally brought Kairen his bowl. When Kairen looked into his bowl, he didn’t know what to
say.
There was only some broth left in the bowl and two strings of noodles. What was he supposed to eat?
The culprit, Xie Zhenzhong, did not feel embarrassed at all.
He smiled and said, “I remember that you guys don’t like to eat Chinese noodles, so I helped you eat them. It’s not good to waste food.”
Kairen, “…”
