Chapter 816: Birthday Party (2)
Unexpectedly, after she said that, she saw the person eat a prawn. His eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but take another bite and then another.
At a buffet, everyone took very little. After three bites, the serving was gone.
He looked at the platter again and hurried over, as if afraid that he would be robbed if he was late. Someone asked, “How’s the taste?”
As he scooped some more, he said, “It’s especially delicious. This is the most delicious Red Plum Pearl Fragrance I’ve ever tasted! I don’t know how to put it, but it tastes especially tender and smooth.”
Someone scolded him. “What are you doing? You look like you haven’t eaten in days!”
That person laughed and said, “I haven’t had much appetite in the past few days, but this dish has opened up my appetite. Hahaha, that’s all it is. Don’t laugh at me.”
How could people from wealthy families lose face because of a dish?
This person was just taking care of the Xue family’s face.
That was what everyone thought at first, but when they saw that he was eating happily, the rest of the people took a deep breath and revealed the same expression as this person.
Their eyes lit up as if they had just eaten some exotic delicacies!
Everyone started tasting it.
“Oh my god, where did this chef come from? Isn’t this amazing? Just a whiff of this Red Plum Pearl Fragrance is enough to make me see flowers! It’s completely different from anything else I’ve ever eaten!”
“Yes, it’s so delicious!”
There was also someone who silently hesitated for a moment before asking weakly, “This taste… Why does it feel like Fan Dashou’s cooking?”
As soon as he said that, the person next to him laughed. “How could that be? Would Fan Dashou come to be the head chef for a girl’s birthday banquet? And he hasn’t accepted a New Year’s Eve dinner for a long time!”
The man stared at his own plate and shook his head. “I ate this dish a few years ago. At that time, Fan Dashou would occasionally go to his hotel to cook a few meals. I was lucky at that time, but I only ate it once. The fragrance of this red plum is too similar to Fan Dashou’s cooking. However, it might have been too long, so I don’t remember. Haha, let’s not worry about that. Eat it well!”
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, Xiang Huai walked over.
The moment he walked over and was seen by the crowd, everyone immediately made way for him, as though they had seen their leader.
Xiang Huai seemed to be used to such gazes. He calmly walked over and picked up a plate. He filled it with some Red Plum Pearl Fragrance, two ribs, and some vegetables before smiling at Xue Sheng. “Xixi is hungry. I’m getting her something to eat.”
Xue Sheng: “…Oh.”
The others immediately understood something. They had just said that Xiang Huai did not care about Xue Xi, but look, there were few present here who would bring dishes for their female partners, wives, or girlfriends!
After Xiang Huai took the food and was about to leave, Xue Yao, who was standing in the crowd and had long been angered by jealousy until her eyes turned red, could not help but ask, “Mr. Xiang, what kind of chef did you find? Do you know that he imitates Fan Dashou?”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her in shock.
Xue Yao had also become a little bold because she thought of Lu Wei and was unhappy with him. However, when Xiang Huai really stopped and looked at her, Xue Yao instantly cowered.
She was so frightened that she hid behind Liu Yiqiu and stammered, “I-I think this is disrespectful to Fan Dashou. That’s why I want to warn him.”
Liu Yiqiu tugged at her sleeve and made Xue Yao shut her mouth. Only then did she look at Xiang Huai and smile apologetically. “Mr. Xiang, she’s just a child. Don’t take it seriously.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
If he were to deal with this pair of mother and daughter, they would feel like flies. If he were to dirty his hands, his father-in-law would be put in a difficult position. After all, they were family.
But if he didn’t deal with it, the buzzing would be really annoying.
Xiang Huai frowned and swept his gaze over Xue Yao. He smiled. “Why would Fan Dashou imitate himself?”
His casual words stunned everyone present.
Everyone looked at the Red Plum Pearl Fragrance in disbelief. Someone asked in surprise, “This… this was made by Fan Dashou?”
“I knew it! The taste is so similar. There’s no one else who could make it apart from Fan Dashou!”
“Oh my god, for such a small birthday party, they actually invited a national-level chef like Fan Dashou! Mr. Xiang is taking Ms. Xue too seriously!”
“…”
Everyone gave their compliments. Xiang Huai glanced at Xue Yao and saw that her expression had changed into anger. He was in a good mood, so he could not help but sigh and say, “Sigh, there’s nothing I can do. As long as I can make my girlfriend smile, I have to think of something, even if I have to pluck the stars.”
Everyone: “!!”
This was blatant love!
Xiang Huai then glanced at Xue Yao.
He saw that Xue Yao was so angry that her whole body was trembling and her jealous eyes were about to spit fire. Satisfied, he took a step forward. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Xue Yao shout as though she had exploded, “What kind of ability do you have to invite Fan Dashou over for a banquet? If you really have the ability and really love Xue Xi, then invite Lin Jing over as well! Don’t let my aunt brag and embarrass herself here!”
As soon as she said this, the entire place fell silent.
Who was this person talking about?
Lin Jing?
How could Lin Jing come here? Xue Yao’s words were too difficult!
