Zhou Beiqing didn't expect Sheng An Ning to suddenly talk to her. She was surprised for a moment, put down the book in her hand, looked at Sheng An Ning, and shook her head: "No."
Sheng An Ning still smiled: "Auntie's steamed egg custard is very good, you can try it. Besides, it's boring for me to eat alone. Your eldest brother went out without telling me."
Zhou Beiqing was stunned for a moment, and when Sheng An Ning thought that she must be feeling guilty, she stood up and walked over, went to the kitchen to get a small bowl, took half of the egg custard for herself, and pushed the rest in front of Sheng An Ning.
Sit down and eat in silence.
Sheng Anning just looked at Zhou Beiqing and still had no intention of moving the spoon. She still felt that her guess was true and there was something wrong with the egg custard.
After Zhou Beiqing finished eating, he saw that Sheng Anning still didn't move his chopsticks, and blinked: "Why don't you eat? It tastes pretty good, don't you like it? Then do you want to eat something else?"
This was the longest sentence Zhou Beiqing had said to Sheng An Ning in the few days since she came back. She was unsure. Could it be that her suspicion was wrong?
The egg custard is fine, but is that really flour on it?
He smiled and said, "I'm not hungry yet. Your eldest brother has been with me during my meals these past two days. I can't eat without him."
Zhou Beiqing nodded, her expression so calm and cold that it was impossible to guess her mood.
After Zhou Beiqing left, Sheng Anning quickly found a bag to put the empty bowl used by Zhou Beiqing and the half bowl of egg custard in front of him in, intending to ask Sheng Chengan to take it for testing.
She certainly couldn't say anything without evidence. What if it was just a misunderstanding? It would make her look petty and make Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Nanguang feel uncomfortable. After all, Zhou Beiqing was their biological daughter.
Zhou Shixun couldn't know about it either, because he would probably rush over and grab Zhou Beiqing's neck and ask her. After all, Zhou Shixun would easily lose his mind when it came to anything involving her and the child.
Just after hiding the things, Sheng Chengan came over with two bottles of wine, canned milk powder, malted milk, chocolate, coffee beans, and even a coffee machine.
Sheng An Ning looked at the pile of things in shock, and reached out to hit Sheng Cheng An: "I was craving for coffee, why did you bring this thing? I can't drink it now."
Sheng Chengan was a little surprised: "I didn't buy it for you, you can drink it later. I have to give you a decent gift when I come to celebrate the New Year, right? This is what I found in the Overseas Chinese Store. I didn't expect that although this coffee machine is handmade, it is so well made. I'll grind a cup for you to smell later."
Sheng An Ning glared at him and said, "Listen, is this even human language?"
Sheng Chengan looked around and didn't see anyone else. He was a little curious: "Where are your family members? Why are you the only one left?"
Sheng Anning pointed upstairs: "Zhou Beiqing is upstairs, everyone else is out, and Auntie is busy making New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen."
Sheng Chengan said "oh" and didn't take it seriously. He held the huge coffee machine and looked for a place to put it. In the end, he could only put it on a low cabinet next to the dining table.
Sheng An Ning leaned over to take a look. Just as she was about to tell her brother about the suspicious situation at breakfast, Zhou Beiqing came down from upstairs and walked over to her. He looked at the coffee machine on the cupboard and seemed very interested.
Sheng Chengan didn't know Zhou Beiqing's past, but because she was now his sister's sister-in-law, he was still quite polite: "Do you like coffee? Let me grind a cup for you?"
Zhou Beiqing was quite curious: "So this is what a home coffee machine looks like. I drank coffee in a restaurant in Beichen, and it wasn't very good."
Sheng Chengan waved his hand: "That's because they didn't cook it well. You can try what I cook later."
Seeing Sheng An Ning standing here with great effort with her big belly, she immediately chased her away: "Why are you standing here when you can't drink? Go sit aside."
Sheng Anning secretly glared at Sheng Chengan, then sat down in front of the sofa and watched Zhou Beiqing and Sheng Chengan chatting.
It's quite strange, today Zhou Beiqing seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, and looked like he really wanted to improve his interpersonal relationships.
But I have to say, putting aside prejudices, Zhou Beiqing still looks quite outstanding, tall and slender, wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and brown straight pants, he has a bit of the temperament of an orchid in the valley.
She unconsciously exudes a scholarly air, and Sheng Anning actually likes girls with this kind of temperament.
Just thinking about what Zhou Beiqing had done, I sighed in my heart, thinking that it was a waste of such a good-looking face.
Sheng Cheng'an made a cup of coffee for Zhou Beiqing and added sugar cubes and milk. The aroma of coffee filled the whole room. Sheng Anning leaned on the sofa, covering her nose, and looked at Sheng Cheng'an with resentment.
Zhong Wenqing smelled the smell in the room as soon as he entered the room and wrinkled his nose: "What is burnt?"
Sheng Anning laughed: "My brother brought a coffee machine and is making coffee."
Zhong Wenqing was also very interested in this foreign thing. She walked over curiously, as if she had just seen Zhou Beiqing. She saw her holding a cup of coffee, looked at it for a while, and didn't say anything. Instead, she asked Sheng Chengan: "This thing doesn't taste good. I've tried it before, and it's like drinking Chinese medicine soup. I don't know why foreigners like it so much."
Sheng Chengan thought for a moment and said, "It's a cultural difference. Just like people in our country like to drink tea, once you get used to it, you'll find it delicious. During the years I've been abroad, I drink a cup of coffee every morning, and after drinking it, I feel energetic all day long."
Zhou Beiqing sipped his coffee while listening to Sheng Chengan's talk. He felt that the coffee was just as he said, smooth as silk when it went down his throat, with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
While chatting, Zhou Shixun, Zhou Nanguang and others also came back together.
Sheng An Ning never had the chance to talk to Sheng Cheng An about breakfast.
During the Chinese New Year, the Zhou family would have a simple lunch, have a few more dishes for dinner, and eat dumplings in the middle of the night.
After lunch, Zhou Shixun went to the hospital with Zhou Nanguang and Zhou Shuanglu to visit several old leaders to wish them a happy new year in advance and let everyone get to know Zhou Shixun.
Because Sheng An Ning was not feeling well, she did not go out with them.
Zhong Wenqing wanted to take a nap, and Zhou Beiqing went upstairs to read a book, leaving Sheng Chengan and Sheng Anning alone in the living room.
Sheng Chengan sighed: "The old men are paving the way for Zhou Shixun. If anyone promotes him in the future, Zhou Shixun will be able to rise to prominence."
Sheng An Ning snorted coldly: "Zhou Shixun still needs to pave the way, he himself is very powerful."
Sheng Chengan glanced at his sister with disdain: "Look at your achievements, all you have in your eyes are men."
Sheng An Ning ignored his sarcasm and whispered to Sheng Cheng An about the problem he found during breakfast: "I feel uneasy, please take it to have it tested for me."
Sheng Chengan frowned: "Do you suspect someone in your family wants to harm you?"
