Is her aunt a cook or a servant?
Besides, her aunt had just recovered from a serious illness and her health had not yet fully recovered. How could she bear to let her aunt keep working so hard?
Xia Chujian was really unhappy, but she also knew Zong Ruoan's character. He might not really treat them as servants. He was just used to his high position and power, so it was possible that he was inconsiderate at the time.
It was not easy to refuse directly. After all, Zong Ruoan had helped her a lot, and she had a generally good impression of him.
But she didn't expect this bold move today.
Fortunately, Xia Chujian was able to keep it under control and didn't show it on her face.
She thought quickly, Quan Yuxun and Yun Nuluo had just visited Zong Ruoan's home, and Zong Ruoan made this request, so he probably wanted to entertain Quan Yuxun and Yun Nuluo...
The right to entertain has nothing to do with Xun. Because of the battle yesterday, Xia Chujian's impression of him changed, especially the fact that he could generously lend her the king of guns, which made Xia Chujian label him as "generous".
She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "It's an honor for my aunt and me to be praised so highly by Colonel Zong. It's just that my aunt hasn't been feeling well recently and may not have the energy to cook a big meal."
After hearing what Xia Chujian said, and because he got carried away and started a video call in front of Quan Yuxun and Yun Nuluo, Zong Ruoan's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
He was not angry with Xia Chujian, but he had never expected that his request would be rejected.
But then, Xia Chujian said teasingly, "If Colonel Zong doesn't mind, I can cook. Although I can't cook as well as my aunt, it's better than the average chef. But Colonel Zong's friends must be wealthy and powerful people. If they don't like the cooking skills of a commoner like me, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Colonel Zong? - Then I would be guilty of it even if I die..."
After politely declining, he offered to help, and finally saved Zong Ruoan's face.
Zong Ruoan's mood suddenly improved, and he said with a smile: "Oh, that's right, your aunt was hospitalized for three years and was recently discharged. She is still in the recovery period. I was inconsiderate, don't mind it."
As they were talking, Quan Yuxun's eyes flickered slightly.
He heard the voice first, then turned his head to change the angle and saw the screen of Zong Ruoan's video call.
It was indeed Xia Chujian.
It was her.
It was exactly the same as what he saw in those audio and video materials.
He was impressed by the unique birthmark on her forehead.
He also had a photographic memory of her impressive battle record.
Especially the heroic life-and-death fight yesterday morning was an unexpected surprise.
Unfortunately, Xia Chujian was wearing her big mask from yesterday until he left Huo Yushen's fighter plane.
Now I saw it from the video call, and it looked exactly the same as in the video footage.
However, he didn't expect that this woman was so familiar with Zong Ruoan.
Quan Yuxun knew Zong Ruoan, because he had been more beautiful than girls since he was a child, and his family background was prominent. From childhood to adulthood, there were countless noble ladies surrounding him, but he never spoke in a polite manner and always kept a certain distance from people of lower status than himself.
He was only as close to those noble ladies from powerful families who were his true acquaintances as friends.
The girlfriends he had dated all came from families of at least marquises.
Even the girls from the Earl's family were not qualified to be Zong Ruoan's woman.
He had never seen Zong Ruoan have such a peaceful interaction with a woman who was not from the same class as him.
Quan Yuxun became even more interested.
He walked behind Zong Ruoan and smiled at the sly-looking girl on the virtual display screen, "I believe that delicious food is found among the people. I hope to have the honor of tasting this lady's cooking."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
What does Quan Yuxun mean by saying this?!
She was sure that he must have recognized her voice in the elevator. Was he trying to confirm her appearance now?
Xia Chujian resisted the urge to put a human face mask on his head and blinked in surprise: "Colonel Zong, who is this? Is this the friend you mentioned?"
Zong Ruoan looked back at Quan Yuxun and said, "Yes, he is my friend Quan Yuxun, a top lawyer, the chief legal advisor of the Imperial Senate, and the eldest son of the Quan family."
Since Quan Yuxun took the initiative to show up, Zong Ruoan also revealed all his secrets without hesitation.
Xia Chujian quickly revealed an expression of admiration, cupped his hands and said, "Amazing, awesome! I've admired you for so long!"
Quan Yuxun put his hands behind his back and smiled as gentle as the spring breeze in April: "You're welcome, it's the same to you."
Xia Chujian: “…”
Sure enough, the spring breeze in April is like a pair of scissors. So this is how the saying "a smile hides a knife" comes from...
The two men understood each other tacitly and did not mention the fight yesterday morning, as if it was just the first time they met, but they were unwilling to give in to each other in their words and were secretly sarcastic.
Seeing that Quan Yuxun had said so, Zong Ruoan had to persuade Xia Chujian again: "Chujian, since Chief Quan doesn't mind, can you help us cook dinner? I believe Chief Quan will definitely accept your favor..."
Xia Chujian's eyes moved and she understood what Zong Ruoan meant.
This is to give her a big backer...
As a commoner, she certainly hopes to have as many backers as possible, and to worship the right Buddha on the right mountain, as maybe one day they will come in handy.
But she always felt that this Quan Yuxun, although impressive, was obviously not as good at talking (nonsense) as Zong Ruoan.
Think about yesterday in the square garden, such a big place, but he was able to bring his people to her side...
Maybe she won't be able to take advantage of this person, and this person will use her completely...
But as a top aristocrat, he has said so much. If she still disagrees, it would be ignorant.
