Don't think of rebirth.
Chapter 552 Sichuan CuisineMurong Xue's face already looked a little ugly. She could think of it as her overthinking the first time, but she couldn't let it go the second time.
But she was not familiar with Gu Qinghuan, so she didn't want to blame her rashly - what if Gu Qinghuan's speaking style was just like that?
The girl may not have meant to blame her, but she just couldn't speak well and caused misunderstanding.
For some parents, they might just scold their children directly, but Murong Xue claims to be an excellent parent, so how could she do something that, in her opinion, is uncultured?
She could only say with a fake smile: "Thank you for your concern and reminder."
Gu Qinghuan decided to stop while she was ahead. If Murong Xue really didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words, it would be meaningless. She had to let Murong Xue know that she did it on purpose.
Murong Tianjiao looked at Gu Qinghuan with some uneasiness. Although Murong Xue would not retaliate against Gu Qinghuan for such a small matter, she felt a little sorry for Gu Qinghuan as her class monitor's good impression among parents might be affected.
Gu Qinghuan didn't care about this. Even if people she didn't care about treated her as an evil ghost, she wouldn't think she had suffered any loss.
Bai Hanshan said at the right time: "Auntie, are you guys coming out for lunch too?"
"Yeah." Compared to Gu Qinghuan who made her suffer everywhere, Murong Xue would rather answer Bai Hanshan's question.
"In that case, why don't we go together?" Bai Hanshan suggested.
He had looked up Murong Xue's information and naturally had seen her photos. Now he had matched the person with the information.
Just looking at Murong Xue's attitude towards Murong Tianjiao, Bai Hanshan didn't think that she brought Murong Tianjiao out to dinner simply to spend time with her daughter.
Out of sympathy for Murong Tianjiao, Bai Hanshan wanted to try asking regardless of whether Murong Xue would agree or not.
Gu Qinghuan gave Bai Hanshan a thumbs up in his heart, and at the same time planned to return the group purchase coupon.
Murong Xue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she thought of something else and nodded reluctantly: "That's fine, with more people, we can try more dishes."
Before Murong Tianjiao noticed anything was wrong, Gu Qinghuan had already frowned.
When should you try more than one dish? Usually, you would do so if you are not familiar with a restaurant and want to give a fair review.
But what is the point of giving a fair review? If the food is not tasty, just don’t come back next time, or avoid the dishes you don’t like next time.
That’s right, it’s all for “next time”.
Bai Hanshan also thought of something similar, but his expression did not change at all: "Auntie, which store do you want to go to?"
"Just in front is a Sichuan restaurant." Murong Xue said as she continued walking forward.
Bai Hanshan walked beside Murong Xue, while Gu Qinghuan and Murong Tianjiao lagged behind by a few steps and spoke in low voices.
"Did you choose that store?" Gu Qinghuan asked.
Murong Tianjiao shook his head: "My mother only said that she would take me out for lunch today, and she didn't say anything else."
After a pause, she added somewhat disappointedly: "I don't eat spicy food."
She is not good at eating spicy food. After becoming a cosplayer, she pays more attention to skin care and rarely eats spicy food for fear that acne will affect her makeup.
"It's okay, let's order some non-spicy dishes later." Gu Qinghuan comforted her.
Murong Tianjiao said, "Maybe my mom wants to eat Sichuan cuisine."
But this didn't match what she had thought before.
She thought Murong Xue accompanied her out because she wanted to apologize for what happened before.
Now it seems that she was being too sentimental. After all, if he wanted to treat her well, how could he not even understand her preferences?
Murong Tianjiao stopped talking, and Gu Qinghuan held her hand without saying a word.
At a time like this, Murong Tianjiao must have all sorts of thoughts in her mind. She needs to sort them out slowly so that she can be calmer, more rational... and more easily face the future.
Four people arrived at the door of the Sichuan restaurant. The waiter came up to them and asked eagerly, "Hello, how many people are there?"
"Four people." Murong Xue replied, "Find a seat by the window."
"Okay, please follow me." The clerk led the four people to seats that met their requirements.
Murong Tianjiao and Murong Xue sat on the same side, while Gu Qinghuan and Bai Hanshan sat on the same side.
Although Murong Tianjiao felt a little nervous sitting with Murong Xue, he felt at ease when he looked up and saw Gu Qinghuan's face opposite him.
Gu Qinghuan scanned the QR code on the table and quickly prepared to order.
No matter how many things she has to do, it cannot affect her three meals a day. Rather, it is more important to eat well during such times.
"Would you like some garlic pork ribs? The abalone chicken feet look good too."
"The sweet and sour pork seems to be cooked in tomato sauce."
"I'd like a whole crispy beggar's chicken. The chickens here are not big."
Murong Xue also scanned the code and ordered the dishes directly, leaving no room for negotiation and without asking the other three people about their plans.
"Maoxuewang, braised roast duck, and drunken lobster," she said.
Bai Hanshan ordered a bunch of red bean wine. It is more comfortable to drink something cool in the summer.
In the end, Gu Qinghuan only ordered beggar's chicken and garlic spare ribs. Together with Murong Xue's three dishes, there were five dishes for four people, which was just right.
Besides, the braised duck and drunken lobsters shouldn’t be very spicy, so Murong Tianjiao can eat them.
After ordering the dishes, Murong Xue paid the bill directly. When Gu Qinghuan noticed it, she said directly, "Auntie, show me your payment code. We'll split the bill."
She was supposed to treat Bai Hanshan to dinner today, but as it turned out, the original intention of treating has disappeared. She will find another opportunity to express her gratitude.
As for now, even though Murong Xue would most likely refuse, she still had to make her attitude clear.
Murong Xue glanced at her and said, "No need. I wouldn't ask a child for money."
Gu Qinghuan didn't force it. She politely said "Thank you, Auntie" and ended the conversation.
The dishes were served one by one. To be fair, they tasted good. Except for the Maoxuewang, the other dishes were not spicy and Murong Tianjiao could eat them.
The only problem was that Murong Xue said nothing and just ate quietly.
In comparison, Gu Qinghuan was much more casual. She talked about everything, as if there were only Bai Hanshan and Murong Tianjiao at the table.
Sometimes he asked Bai Hanshan what he was doing recently, and sometimes he discussed the latest popular movies with Murong Tianjiao.
Murong Tianjiao thought, it was a good thing that Gu Qinghuan was there. If it were only her and Murong Xue there, the meal would have been extremely depressing.
Would Murong Xue chat with her? No, not only did her mother not talk to her, she didn't even pick up Gu Qinghuan's conversation.
It seemed like Murong Xue came out just for this meal. If that was the case, why did she come along?
Murong Tianjiao was feeling a little confused when he suddenly heard the sound of someone putting down their chopsticks.
She turned her head and saw Murong Xue wiping the corners of her mouth with a tissue. She asked calmly, "Have you finished eating? We still have to go buy clothes. Let's go."
Murong Tianjiao still had a piece of steaming roast duck on her chopsticks. She shook her head: "I'm still eating."
Murong Xue glanced at the time on her watch: "I'll give you another ten minutes."
"Auntie," Gu Qinghuan said, "after you take Tianjiao to buy clothes, do you have any other plans?"
Having said that, Gu Qinghuan had already vaguely guessed Murong Xue's plan.
