Shen Yishui's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He glanced at Jiang Tian and said gently, "I've known Jiang Tian for a long time. To be honest, we're friends through food."

So he began to recount how he met Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian was just a vocational school graduate, while Shen Yishui was a master's graduate from a prestigious university. Moreover, Jiang Tian was thirty-one years old this year, while Shen Yishui was only twenty-eight. The two of them should have had absolutely no connection.

Coincidentally, Jiang Tian's school was next to Shen Yishui's school, and both of them had very sensitive tongues and loved to search for delicious food in various alleys.

There were only a few restaurants near the school, and the two of them often ran into each other. They became familiar with each other over time and eventually started to keep in touch.

Shen Yishui was quite eloquent. In his narration, it seemed as if he and Jiang Tian were kindred spirits, with no other entanglements whatsoever.

But in reality, out of a vague curiosity about love, the two of them gradually got to know each other and started a relationship, which was even each other's first love.

Of course, Shen Yishui did not reveal this secret.

If he were to speak out, who knows who it would affect?

"Oh, I see. It seems you two are quite destined for each other."

Xiao Chengyang said with a forced smile, and then pinched Jiang Tian's cheek.

Jiang Tian's face was snow-white and smooth, like a peeled egg when touched. It would turn slightly red when pinched, making it irresistible to touch.

Jiang Tian glanced at him, a little impatient: "He's just a friend, isn't he? I've long forgotten about him. He's not even as memorable as the garlic-infused pork belly."

Xiao Chengyang did not doubt that Jiang Tian was telling the truth, mainly because this woman disdained to lie in front of him.

Her words made Xiao Chengyang's expression much better.

Shen Yishui, sitting to the side, smiled without saying a word, maintaining a dignified posture.

For him, he came here only to fulfill his stepfather's request and help retain this major client.

He and Xiao Chengyang had no conflict of interest.

If it weren't for his mother's great admiration for her stepfather and her desire for Shen Yishui to serve her every need after marrying him, he really wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess.

However, since he has accepted this task, he will definitely do it well.

As Qin Mochen listened to his stepbrother recount his past with Jiang Tian, ​​he thought to himself that only his past with Jiang Tian was dark and could not be brought to light.

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the dishes that were served.

When faced with her favorite dish, Jiang Tian became much more lively: "Let me tell you about this dish?"

Xiao Chengyang rarely saw Jiang Tian trying to show off; she usually pretended to be stupid or lazy whenever possible.

The sun had finally risen in the west today, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity: "Alright, I want to hear what's so special about the dish you've been longing for."

Having received his praise, Jiang Tian began to explain: "This dish is actually very ordinary, and most people can make it, but to bring out its essence is not easy."

"The owner of this restaurant has exceptional knife skills. Others simply slice the pork hock and serve it with cucumber and garlic sauce. But he can slice the fat and lean meat separately. The fat crumbles as soon as he cuts it, yet he manages to slice it extremely thinly while maintaining its shape, resulting in a particularly delicious texture. Moreover, the sauce he chooses is different from others, with an exceptionally fresh flavor. Eating this dish is a true pleasure."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of food and held it to Xiao Chengyang's lips: "Try it."
