"So, what do you think? This old-established mala tang place I recommended is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Mmm, it's really delicious. How about I treat you to this mala tang place next month?"
Xi Ran asked tentatively, because she really didn't have much money at her disposal. Just now, when Chu Jiangyi paid the bill, she overheard how much the money was transferred via WeChat.
She can afford to hire someone who provides this spicy hot pot, so her livelihood for next month is secured.
Chu Jiangyihao said nonchalantly, "No problem, we'll come back to eat here again next month when you get your salary. I really like spicy hot pot too."
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Chu Jiang smiled indulgently, "Since you like spicy hot pot so much, we can come here often in the future."
Xi Ran rested her chin on her hand, thinking. She didn't have the money to come here often; one meal of spicy hot pot would cost her a week's worth of food.
"good!"
The two were enjoying their meal and conversation when they didn't notice a figure slowly approaching, pulling out a chair next to them, and plopping down on it.
Chu Jiang didn't pay any attention, assuming it was a guest, until a familiar voice rang out.
"Brother! Are you taking your girlfriend out to dinner?"
Chu Jiang also shuddered, and the chopsticks he was using to pick up the spicy hot pot fell to the ground.
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
Chu Jiangning rolled her eyes at her brother, who seemed so tense, as if they were catching someone cheating. "Why can't I be here? I've been a fan of this mala tang restaurant since I was a kid."
As Chu Jiangning spoke, he observed the girl next to Chu Jiangyi. "Is this the sister that brother has been thinking about for six years? She's really beautiful. Brother has good taste. You deserve to have pursued someone so beautiful for six years."
"Sister Sun Qing, don't you agree?"
Xi Ran looked embarrassed and smiled gently, "I'm not the girl your brother has been thinking about for six years. I've only known your brother for less than a week."
Chu Jiangning was surprised, her brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself, "That shouldn't be the case! My brother was so devoted to that girl named Sun Qing, pursuing her relentlessly for six years. How could he have time to eat with other girls and change his target so quickly? What a scumbag!"
Chu Jiang gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound. "How am I a scumbag?"
Chu Jiangning pointed at Xi Ran, "This is the evidence of your scumbag behavior. You've been two-timing me. I've lived with you for over ten years, and I never expected you to be such a scumbag. You're disgusting."
Chu Jiangning stepped forward and tugged at Xi Ran's arm, reminding her, "This beautiful lady, I advise you to stay away from scumbags. This kind of person is beyond saving. The Qing Dynasty has long since perished, yet he still wants to enjoy the blessings of having two wives. Bah!"
Chu Jiang, unable to bear it any longer, roared, "Enough, Chu Jiangning! This is a public place. How can you make such a scene? Don't I have any dignity?"
Chu Jiangning scoffed, "What face do scumbags need? They should be drowned in a pig cage."
Chu Jiang also suppressed the urge to beat someone up, "If you want to eat spicy hot pot, go and choose your ingredients. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out."
Chu Jiangning flinched. Her brother's face was full of anger; he seemed genuinely upset. Thinking about how to make amends, she gave a silly laugh.
"Hehe! The atmosphere is too quiet, let's crack a joke and liven things up, isn't that funny?"
Chu Jiangyi's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from above, extremely oppressive: "Did we laugh?"
"Haha...Isn't it funny? How about I tell you another one?"
"Go pick your spicy hot pot, or go home."
"Hehe! I'll go pick out some food and then come back to chat with the pretty lady later."
Chu Jiangyi's cold voice came, "No need for that. We'll finish eating soon and won't disturb you from enjoying your meal."
