Chapter 182 Japanese Food - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
Wen Yan was driving the car, and the two people in the back were chatting animatedly. When women are together, they can't help but gossip.
"A few days ago, a five-month pregnant girl from her family came to her house. The key point is that she usually praises her son for being a chaste man and not having affairs. Then, what happened? The whole circle is full of these rumors. Her son's character, everyone knows how many promiscuous people he has outside. Which spoiled girl would be willing to marry him..."
Wen Yan was stunned by what she heard. In just a dozen minutes, she heard about a girl who was madly in love with a boy, and a girl who came to her house pregnant.
It’s true that no matter what class you belong to, you can’t avoid gossip.
Just as I was listening to the pregnant girl asking to come in without asking for money, the phone rang.
Looking again, it turned out to be her good boyfriend!!!
Qin Qiu and Bai Ling also lowered their voices and quietly let her answer the phone.
Wen Yan couldn't just connect to the car's Bluetooth like she usually did, because there were two elders sitting in the car, and one of them was her boyfriend's mother!
I could only let go of the steering wheel with one hand, search for the headphones, put them on, and then answer the call.
"Baby"
"Well, I was driving and was delayed a bit by looking for my headphones."
Meng Qinghe was driving from the law firm, preparing to return to his girlfriend's place. He called her to ask if she was coming back for dinner. "Are you done? I'll be back tonight. Will I have dinner with you later?"
"My teacher's wife and I just finished shopping. We plan to eat Japanese food tonight and not go back home." Wen Yan called her son in front of her future mother-in-law. Wen Yan felt so sad at the moment. This feeling is real. Only those who have experienced it will understand.
They'd been together for so long, and he could tell there was something a little different in their voices. They? Wasn't it just her teacher's wife who called him this morning? But he didn't think much of it, thinking maybe they were just acquaintances on the way. "Then I'll just have to make do with some fried rice by myself tonight. I'm driving back now. I originally wanted to go back early to be with you tonight."
Wen Yan suddenly felt greedy and thought about it. It would be miserable for him to go back and cook alone, so he said, "I suddenly want to eat octopus balls. It's the same place you bought me before. Buy me a box. And don't go back to fry rice. There doesn't seem to be any leftover rice at home. Why don't you come over and eat some together? It's not the first time you've seen me eat sashimi while you ate fried rice.
Anyway, you and the eel rice chef are almost friends. They are all acquaintances and you know them.
Japanese restaurants have a dedicated chef to serve them. After going there more often, Meng Qinghe would accompany her to eat Japanese food, and he would order eel roe fried rice. The chef who made the eel rice would always greet him when he saw him, "You're here with your girlfriend again, so as usual, I'll fry you a serving of rice?"
Qin Qiu and Bai Ling almost laughed out loud when they heard her words. Qin Qiu was so happy when he heard his daughter-in-law talking bad about his son. He finally met his troubled son. When his mother asked him to have dinner with her, she would directly say "let your husband accompany you". Now he has his daughter-in-law to finally cure him.
Meng Qinghe touched his nose on the other end of the phone. He felt that his mother and wife could get along well, and he didn't know what was so delicious about these sashimi and raw meat. He didn't dislike it, but he really didn't like it. He could eat a few bites when accompanying his girlfriend, but no more.
But they are all acquaintances? He knows them?
But seeing that her tone was not right, Meng Qinghe still asked tentatively, "Then should I come directly to you now?"
"Come on, there's a surprise." After saying that, she hung up the phone. He understood her mental journey of the day when he came.
Meng Qinghe looked at the hung up phone, surprised?
"Octopus balls? Are they delicious?" Qin Qiu planned to ask her husband to buy some for her next time.
Wen Yan nodded and said, "It's delicious. It's the best octopus balls I've ever had. It seems to be not far from the law firm. You can try it later."
This Japanese restaurant was where Wen Yan had wanted to eat before, and Meng Qinghe brought her here. Of course, it was also a restaurant frequented by Qin Qiu and Bai Ling, and the ingredients used there were all top-quality.
Before coming, Wen Yan booked a private room in advance, and a special chef prepared the food on site.
When it comes to eating sashimi, the key is freshness. Wen Yan likes salmon very much, especially the top-grade king salmon. It is expensive but has a mellow taste. Dipped in mustard and soy sauce, it tastes delicious. She can eat many slices every time.
After the three of them finished their first plate, Wen Yan said to the chef, "As usual, make me an eel rice."
"That kid really doesn't know how to eat. He can even eat fried rice in a Japanese restaurant. He's really good at it." Qin Qiu complained about his son mercilessly.
"That's still good. My husband came to eat with me, so he let me eat alone and chat with the chef. I had a lot of fun chatting with the chef. We were like brothers after the meal." Bai Ling also complained about Lin Shu's behavior.
Meng Qinghe bought the octopus balls that his girlfriend wanted to eat, and then went to the drink shop next door and brought her a cup of hand-smashed lemon tea, which he gave her to relieve the greasiness after eating Japanese food.
After buying things, I went to the store and found the private room I often went to. I walked to the door of the room, and before it was opened, I heard the sound of talking and laughing inside.
Just as I was about to push the door open, I suddenly heard a voice. Why did it sound so familiar? Why did it seem like... his mother?
He knocked twice first, then pushed the door open and came in. The three people inside looked at him at the same time.
Meng Qinghe was really stunned. His mother and his girlfriend were actually together, and they were even eating at the same table? The key point was that he didn't know!
I was stunned for a moment, but I still didn't forget to be polite and greeted Bai Ling, "Hello, Aunt Bai"
Facing the gazes of the three people, she lightly lifted her feet and sat down in the empty seat next to Wen Yan. After putting her things down, she put a hand under the table to comfort her, "Mom, how did you meet Ah Yan?"
Qin Qiu finally saw the uneasy look on his son's face. He sipped his tea proudly and then spoke slowly, "I'm useless. I can't bring my daughter-in-law home, and I'm so uncomfortable at home that I can't stay here. So, I asked your Aunt Wan to go shopping with me.
My son is useless, but I can't help but feel lucky. I bumped into her in the same store. The store manager told me that Bai Ling and a Miss Wen were next door, so I thought, isn't my daughter-in-law's last name Wen? Sure enough, when I came over to take a look, hey, it was indeed my dear daughter-in-law.
After saying that, he smiled at Wen Yan, his eyes full of joy.
Meng Qinghe didn't expect this development. He turned his head to look at Wen Yan and raised his eyebrows.
Wen Yan would definitely not show how 'surprised' she was in front of her elders. She replied in a gentle tone, "It was just a coincidence today, but my aunt and I had a great time shopping today. My aunt even bought me a lot of clothes."
After a pause, he said to Qin Qiu, "In a couple of days, I will definitely go home to visit my uncle and aunt. I hope my aunt doesn't dislike me."
Qin Qiu was so happy that she picked up a sweet shrimp for her and said, "Come anytime. Auntie hopes you can come home for dinner more often. Your uncle has been wanting to see you for a long time."
Meng Qinghe watched the back and forth, and was afraid that there was no room for him, as the two of them ignored him at all.
He could only look helpless and start greeting Bai Ling.
"You have good taste, kid. You snatched Yanyan away when she was only a freshman. You have good taste." Bai Ling teased him. However, this kid knew her background well and was not a reckless person. The Meng family was a decent one, without any messy affairs. He was indeed worthy of Yanyan.
Meng Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Ah Yan, for taking a liking to me."
