Chapter 384: Who made this dish so unpalatable?

Xu Si didn't care whether other people ate or not. He just stared at Shu Huai, afraid that Shu Huai wouldn't eat, and kept picking food for him.

These dishes are either too salty, too bland, too bitter or too spicy.

Shu Huai's taste buds suffered the biggest disaster in recent years.

Does Xu Si serve this dish without even testing the taste?

Even since the meal started, he was only focused on looking at Shu Huai and hadn't eaten a single bite of the food on the table. It was hard not to wonder if he had deliberately made the food so unpalatable.

"Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not to your liking?"

Seeing Shu Huai stop, Xu Si was still worried that the food might not suit his taste, and never thought that the dish he was cooking was difficult to prepare.

Shu Huai frowned and wanted to tell the truth, but just as he opened his mouth, a female voice sounded behind him.

"Brother, are there any guests at home today? Why do I see several pairs of shoes at the door?"

Xu Mengyun walked into the living room from the door, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the familiar people in the restaurant.

"Why are you here?"

"I invited them to be my guests." Xu Si continued.

"You haven't eaten yet? Sit down and eat something too."

Xu Si invited Xu Mengyun to come and sit down.

Xu Mengyun hid the emotions in her eyes, walked forward, and sat down in the empty seat next to Shu Yue. She glanced at the food on the table, "There are so many dishes."

"Normally when we have guests at home we don't have so many dishes on the table, brother, are you biased?"

Auntie brought new bowls and chopsticks to Xu Mengyun. While complaining, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl of braised pork closest to her. The color was a little darker, but at least you could tell it was braised pork.

She didn’t have to restrict her diet recently and she also wanted to gain a few pounds, so she didn’t even look at the vegetarian dishes and went straight for the meat.

As I took a bite of the braised pork, I could already taste the bitterness before I even started chewing.

The sweetness of this piece of braised pork combined with the bitter taste of burning, colliding with each other, the taste is very strange, even a little disgusting.

Xu Mengyun lowered her head and spat the braised pork in her mouth into the bone dish. The taste was so disgusting that her facial features twisted together.

"Auntie, why have your cooking skills declined so much today? This is so unpalatable! Even if you feed it to pigs, they won't be happy to eat it." Xu Mengyun spoke directly, and Shu Yue, who was standing next to her, didn't have time to stop her before she said the words first.

Sure enough, after Xu Si heard Xu Mengyun's words, his face turned dark and his eyes became cold.

The aunt lowered her head and did not dare to say that it was Xu Si who did it.

"You cooked like this even though there are guests at home. It makes my brother lose face." Xu Mengyun said, picking up another meat dish, but couldn't help spitting it out as soon as she put it in her mouth, "Auntie, have you been possessed by someone? I remember the food you cooked before was delicious. Your cooking skills today are too low..."

Xu Mengyun was still chattering away, totally unaware of how bad Xu Si's expression was across from him.

Every time she complained, Shu Huai would nod slightly to show his agreement.

It’s really unpalatable!

“I made all these dishes.”

Xu Si's voice came over lightly, and Xu Mengyun suddenly stopped talking, turning his head with difficulty to look at Xu Si.

He asked quietly, "Brother, what did you just say?"

Xu Si smiled wryly, "I said these are all dishes I made."

Xu Mengyun's mind raced, thinking about how to make up for his mistake.

How could someone get into such a big mess?

"Brother, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that these dishes are unpalatable compared to Auntie's usual cooking skills... No, they're not unpalatable, they're just not that delicious..."

Xu Mengyun's words were getting more and more obscure, and there was no way he could justify what he said.

She never imagined that Xu Si, a big boss who had never done housework, would one day cook for himself.

Having followed Xu Si for so many years, she knew very well that Xu Si could not cook, let alone fry.

It takes a lot of effort to make such a big table. The sun rises from the west.

Xu Mengyun's gaze fell on Shu Huai who was sitting next to Xu Si. The two of them were sitting so close, Xu Si must have cooked specially for Shu Huai.

He invited everyone to his home. Does that mean the relationship has been confirmed?

Is Shu Huai really Xu Si’s illegitimate son?

Xu Mengyun felt a headache when he thought about this matter.

"Okay, stop talking. This is my first time cooking. I know my level, but it's not so bad that you'll vomit it all, right?"

Xu Si frowned.

Shu Huai has already eaten so much, how bad can the food be?

It's just that Miss Xu Mengyun has lived too much and eaten too many delicacies from land and sea, so she feels that his ordinary meals don't taste good.

Xu Si thought about it, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, put it into his mouth and started eating.

After chewing it twice, he couldn't help but spit it out.

Is it really that unpalatable?

He didn't believe it, so he took a few bites of other dishes and then vomited them all.

Xu Si looked at Shu Yue and the other two, whose bowls were clean. No wonder they didn't touch their chopsticks, it turned out the food was really bad.

Just now he had been picking up food for Shu Huai and filled a bowl for him.

Xu Si quickly looked at Shu Huai, "Why didn't you tell me it was so unpalatable? You ate quite a lot."

How could Shu Huai dare to say anything? He cooked a whole table of dishes and just watched him pick up the food. How could he dare to say it was bad?

"It's okay. It's not unacceptable."

Shu Huai could only answer this way.

As a result, the speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it seriously.

The look in Xu Si's eyes when he looked at Shu Huai became full of pity.

How much suffering has he endured? The Shu family who took him in didn’t give him good food and drink, okay? It seemed that Shu Yue and Shu Ziming treated him very well, always protecting him and taking him with him wherever he went. I thought they had a very good relationship, but turned out to be fake?

He thought it was okay even though it tasted so bad, so wouldn’t the food he ate at Shu’s house be even worse than this?

How could Xu Si's son suffer such a great injustice?

If they can’t even give him the best in terms of food and drink, what else can the Shu family give him?

Chen Xinyi was also confused. She actually entrusted Shu Huai to such a family.

When Shu Huai met Xu Si's eyes, he inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

Why do I feel like there's something wrong with his eyes? Like he's very unhappy and wants to pick a fight with someone.

“You suffered.”

Xu Si reached out and took Shu Huai's hand, patted the back of his hand, and said this inexplicably, leaving Shu Huai confused.

"It was my negligence. I thought cooking was a simple thing, so to show my sincerity, I cooked a table full of dishes myself, which resulted in none of you eating well." Xu Si said, standing up.

"It's too late to buy groceries and cook again now, so let's just go out to eat at Shengxianglou."

"What place is that?" Shu Yue asked Xu Mengyun beside her in a low voice.

"That is the most expensive restaurant in Cuiyang, and it is an ancient building with hundreds of years of history. After it was bought by a private buyer, it was opened as a restaurant. You can go there directly without making an appointment, but the minimum consumption there starts at 500,000."
