DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (327)
327. PRESUMPTUOUS
"Presumptuous!" Old master Jiang slammed the table down and looked at Shen Haoyue angrily.
Shen Haoyue shivered subconsciously, but thinking of Chu Youning, she pursed her lips tightly and did not change her words.
"Brother-in-law..." Chu Youning shivered like a frightened little white rabbit, she cowered and snuggled into Shen Haonan's arms, and looked at Jiang Qingyu timidly, "Is there anything wrong with sister wanting to sit next to you?" Her tone was not questioning but wondering, as if she didn't understand why Old master Jiang got angry.
Chu Youning was still chatting about Shen Haonan screaming in bed like it was nothing this morning, but now she was actually pretending to be a little white rabbit. Jiang Qingyu, who knew her nature well, couldn't help but pause, forgetting what he wanted to say.
"Sister-in-law and the boss are husband and wife, so it would be wrong to not sit together." Lu Yiming said at the right time, "Old master Jiang is actually reprimanding the child for moving the chopsticks before waiting for the adults to move them, right?" As he spoke, he gestured to look at the little girl who had already pulled a chicken leg to start eating.
Following Lu Yiming's words, everyone's eyes fell on the little girl, and their faces immediately turned bad.
In fact, with the shortage of resources after the end of the world, even the Jiang family could not afford to feast on lavish dishes with meat and fish all the time. This time, the Jiang family spent a lot of money to entertain Chen Yi. Other than that, that roast chicken smelled really delicious.
The little girl was also spoiled and pampered before the end of the world. After the end of the world, she could not even eat meat. How could she not be greedy when she saw the delicious food on the table today? So she took advantage of the adults talking and not paying attention, and stealthily tore a chicken leg...
It stands to reason that Lu Yiming, as an adult, should also not care to bother so much with a child. After all, after the end of the world, even adults will be greedy when they see meat, let alone children, but... the Jiang family, these oddballs, have always regarded themselves as an aristocratic family with pride. They were extremely strict with Shen Haoyue. Even not obeying mother Jiang's unreasonable intention was also regarded as being presumptuous, so what should they say about their children's lack of discipline?
If there was no Chen Yi at the table, everyone would have just evaded it with a few words in the past, but... in front of Chen Yi, the Jiang family really felt a little embarrassed to be put in an awkward situation. But to discipline the child... looking at the face of the little girl getting thinner as she got older, the Jiang family was also reluctant to reprimand the child. Without any other way, Old master Jiang looked at Chen Yi apologetically.
Chen Yi smiled, "What time is it, let alone the child, even I'm already hungry. Why don't we eat first?" Chen Yi said in a kind and understanding way.
Old master Jiang smiled in satisfaction, "Since Yi yatou is hungry, let's eat!" Saying that, he gave Shen Haoyue a stare without leaving a trace, which obviously meant 'look at her'!
[丫头- yā tou- girl/young woman/ servant girl. It is used deprecatingly, but sometimes also as a term of endearment. Old master Jiang is using it as a term of endearment for Chen Yi.]
Shen Haoyue lowered her eyes to avoid the Jiang family's gaze, until Chu Youning picked up a piece of chicken for her.
Shen Haoyue raised her head and met Chu Youning's smiling eyes. She couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but finally smiled, picked up the piece of chicken and began to eat slowly.
During the meal, the chat between the Jiang family and Chen Yi was in full swing. Lu Yiming did not speak any more, but just paid close attention to Chen Yi's questions. If she wanted to get information, she would definitely let the cat out of the bag.
However, Chen Yi was not stupid. How could she ask anything in front of him? So she just talked about some irrelevant things. For example, her situation abroad ah, what was the end of the world like abroad ah. For example, the interesting things that happened when she had not yet gone abroad ah...
As they chatted, they talked about her and Jiang Qingyu. Jiang Qingyu was two years older than Chen Yi, but they were both in the same university and both were in the student union. So they had frequent contact. When talking about that period of time, Chen Yi couldn't help but look at Jiang Qingyu.
