Chapter 927: Guests Arrive
"Child, how could you be so naive? When you went to the restaurant to apply for a visit, didn't you tell Mingxia that she would be resting at home today? If you were hungry, you could eat something in the restaurant and then come back. It wouldn't delay anything. You and Mingxia are so close, could Mingxia be reluctant to give up that little food? You came here on an empty stomach! Aren't you a silly girl?" Zhang now looked at Yi Shuishui as if she were her own daughter.
She is honest and sincere to Li Mingxia, and she looks like a flower. Who can not like her?
"Shen Xing? Is he the restaurant manager in black? He should have said it, but I was worried about Mingxia so I didn't pay attention. It's not Shen Xing's fault." Yi Shuishui was stunned, then said with a smile.
In fact, she felt a little guilty when she heard this. The man named Shen Xing had repeatedly told her that Li Mingxia was resting at home and would not see any guests today, but she still came.
What should she do? She just missed Li Mingxia so much! She could only stay here for half a month, so she had to see Li Mingxia every day, otherwise it would be a big loss.
"Besides, I'm not used to the food in the restaurant. I just like what Xia Xia cooks!" Yi Shuishui pouted, and suddenly remembered something. She clapped her hands, and several maids came in. After putting the things in their hands on the table, they hunched over and retreated.
"Aunt, these things are not for Xia Xia, they are for you. They are just small tokens of respect. You must accept them, otherwise it would mean that I am not welcome." Yi Shuishui saw that Zhang wanted to refuse, and said immediately.
Zhang was no longer a stranger now. She recognized the bird's nests, shark fins, tea cakes, cloths, and wine on the table. There were also many things she didn't recognize, and they must have been extremely valuable.
How can this work!
How could she accept so many gifts when the girl came to her house for the first time?
"Shui Shui, your aunt is already very happy that you can come to see me and Mingxia. You must not accept these things. Take them back quickly." Zhang said seriously.
"Aunt, it's courtesy to bring some things when visiting someone's home. We came here uninvited. If we come here empty-handed, the elders at home will know about it and will definitely scold my sister and me for being ignorant. So please accept it. My sister is greedy and we will be in trouble later." Yi Xuan sat steadily and his eyes swept across Li Mingxia lightly while he spoke, so fast that it was impossible to catch them.
Li Mingxia's eyes collided with Yi Xuan's eyes in the air for a few tenths of a second, but both of them pretended nothing happened.
"This...my girl, what should we do? This thing is too valuable, we can't accept it, right?" Zhang took a look at the things on the table and said to Li Mingxia in a low voice.
"Take it, it's okay. Our Shuishui is a very rich girl. This little thing is nothing." Li Mingxia looked at Yi Shuishui who was staring at him eagerly, turned his head and said to Zhang.
Originally, Zhang had no way of rejecting Yi Shuishui who loved to act like a spoiled child, so she felt relieved to hear Li Mingxia say this.
She doesn't understand these rules and regulations. As long as her daughter says she can accept it, then she will definitely accept it. She just needs to listen to her daughter.
"Then please sit down quickly. I'll have someone make something for you... Mingxia, look, this..."
Zhang thought about asking someone to prepare something for Yi Shuishui because she hadn't eaten yet. But halfway through, she remembered that Yi Shuishui said she couldn't get used to food cooked by others and only wanted to eat food cooked by Li Mingxia. However, her daughter had finally had a day's rest at home, and Zhang herself was reluctant to ask her daughter to do something, and she was even more unwilling to let her daughter suffer because of other people's affairs.
But Yi Shuishui brought so many valuable things. Wouldn't it seem a bit unkind if I refused them all?
It’s better not to accept it!
Although the things were good, Zhang really couldn't bear to let her daughter work so hard.
"It's okay, Mom. You have to eat at noon anyway. I'll do it whether I'm cooking for one person, two people, or three people. You and I are just water chestnuts and can't eat much. It's not a big deal." Li Mingxia gently patted Zhang's hand.
She knows that her mother loves her!
three people?
Zhang glanced at Xiao Tianyue and Yi Xuan who had just spoken. They two didn’t want to eat?
Could it be that my daughter could tell at a glance that these two people had already eaten?
"Shui Shui brought something, so of course I have to treat her well. If she didn't bring anything, why should I serve her? Although guests are welcome in our home, impolite guests are not welcome in my house." Li Mingxia glanced at Yi Xuan and Xiao Tianyue who were sitting next to them, and said calmly.
Xiao Tianyue was just thinking that he had managed to get a meal, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left. How could he be willing?
"Ming Xia! No, Ming Xia, we have known each other for more than a day or two. Aren't you being a little unfair to me? It's just a gift, right? I'll prepare one and send it to your restaurant tomorrow. Is that okay?" Xiao Tianyue said hurriedly.
God knows, he is really hungry!
He hadn't eaten anything in the morning and had been running around everywhere. If he were to return to town on an empty stomach, he would probably starve to death on the way!
"Then why don't you just bring the gift with you? And wait until I ask for it before giving it to me? Do you think I need this little thing from you?" Li Mingxia glanced at Xiao Tianyue, who had a frustrated face, and didn't buy his account at all.
Xiao Tianyue swallowed his saliva. Was it his illusion? Why did he feel that Li Mingxia was particularly aggressive and afraid to speak today?
"Mingxia, you can't let me go back hungry like this, right? I'm afraid I'll starve to death before I even get to the town! I'll also be a starving ghost in the underworld! An unjustly dead ghost!" Xiao Tianyue's voice became lower and lower, because he knew that if Li Mingxia really didn't want to give him anything to eat, then it would be useless no matter how much he talked!
Li Mingxia didn't even give face to Yi Xuan, so what was the face of this "old acquaintance" of himself worth?
Li Mingxia looked at the dejected Xiao Tianyue and blinked.
"You want to eat?"
Xiao Tianyue nodded.
"Want to eat the same thing as Shui Shui?"
Xiao Tianyue suddenly became excited. He felt that there was a chance! Didn't this mean that he was going to give it to himself?
"Yes, yes! I want to!"
Li Mingxia groaned, "Originally it's not possible, but since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly give you a chance!"
Xiao Tianyue immediately sat down obediently and said, "I'd like to hear more details."
"My brother is getting married in a few days. My mother originally wanted to hold the wedding banquet at home, but as you can see, my mother is pregnant now and can't work hard. I am also afraid of tiring my mother, so I decided to hold my brother's wedding in a restaurant."
