“I want to eat, but you’re just sitting here watching.” Xia Wenjing couldn’t help but raise his voice.
"That's not good," Tao Ying reluctantly agreed.
Afterwards, Xia Wenjing arrived at a relatively upscale snack shop without any worries.
Xia Wen ordered a basket of crab roe soup dumplings, a small wonton, and a few other dishes. Then she looked at Tao Ying and asked, "Are you really not going to eat?"
"I've almost spilled all the soup," Tao Ying said firmly, shaking her head.
Xia Wenjing found Tao Ying vulgar and looked at her with disgust.
Tao Ying also noticed Xia Wenjing's expression.
Anyway, today's main character is a foolish woman.
Anyway, given Xia Wenjing's arrogant personality, he would have a preconceived notion that this was how he was.
Tao Ying sat to the side and waited, and then Xia Wenjing's things were brought up one after another.
It sounds like there are a lot of items, but actually there's only a tiny bit of each one; they're all just for show.
I feel like even all of them combined aren't as filling as two big steamed buns from my hometown.
Xia Wenjing picked up his chopsticks, about to eat, when he heard someone whispering beside him.
"Oh dear, some people are just so stingy. They bring a woman to dinner, but only order for themselves. If they can't afford it, they don't have to come!"
"Yeah, he looks respectable, and he's quite old..."
Xia Wenjing felt like he was about to explode.
Xia Wenjing can't stand hearing people say the word "old" anymore.
They're already on the verge of stress.
"Commander Xia, don't your kids cook for you? It's pitiful that you have to come out to eat at your age." Tao Ying spoke as if she hadn't heard what the others were saying.
“My child is so filial. Every day when I get up, the water for washing my face is ready, and the meal is prepared…” Tao Ying’s words were full of boasting.
“You don’t need to tell me all this,” Xia Wenjing said through gritted teeth.
"So what do you want to talk to me about? We need to hurry, I've finally made it here, and there are still so many places I haven't visited yet," Tao Ying asked Xia Wenjing.
"What's going on between Tang Xiao and Jiang Jiang?" Xia Wenjing genuinely disliked Tao Ying.
How can a woman be so rude?
"They're getting married tomorrow, and they didn't invite you?" Tao Ying asked, puzzled.
Xia Wenjing “…”
"I was invited, but I just feel that Tang Xiao and Jiang Jiang aren't a good match, as an elder..."
"Aren't you and Jiang Jiang of the same generation? Although there is a big age difference, you can't just make things up about seniority, can you?" Tao Ying interrupted Xia Wenjing and asked.
"Can you please shut up? Is the point about seniority?" Xia Wenjing was furious.
How can a person be so stupid?
Tao Ying immediately shut up, lowered her head, and remained silent.
“Jiang Jiang has liked me for over ten years, how could she suddenly fall for Tang Xiao? I think Jiang Jiang is just being stubborn with me, but you can’t risk her life’s happiness for this. I don’t know what Tang Xiao is up to. I see you and Jiang Jiang are getting along well, do you know anything about their relationship?” Xia Wenjing hesitated for a long time before speaking haltingly.
Xia Wenjing couldn't help but ask the people in the compound.
Even their own family members didn't bother to inquire.
After thinking it over, the only person I could ask was Tao Ying.
"I'm asking you a question!" Xia Wenjing stared at Tao Ying for a long time, but Tao Ying didn't open her mouth, and he was so angry that he was pounding his chest.
"Didn't you tell me not to speak? As the leader, why can't you speak clearly?" Tao Ying's voice was trembling with tears, but she didn't dare to look up.
He was afraid that Xia Wenjing would realize that his crying was fake.
"Then speak up now. Jiang Jiang invited you to the wedding, so you must have a good relationship. We can't let Jiang Jiang go down the wrong path," Xia Wenjing said, barely suppressing his anger.
“What wrong path could Jiang Jiang take? Tang Xiao is handsome, young, and I heard he has great potential and comes from a good family,” Tao Ying said in a muffled voice, her head down.
"Are these external things really that important? Can a marriage without love last?" Xia Wenjing said angrily.
"You're so old, and you still believe in love?" Tao Ying stared at Xia Wenjing in disbelief.
"You're not regretting it, are you?" Tao Ying didn't intend to get angry at Xia Wenjing anymore.
He's quite old; if he gets too excited and has a stroke, he'll be in big trouble.
"What do I regret? I'm just worried that Jiang Jiang has been deceived," Xia Wenjing said somewhat awkwardly.
"I don't know. I'm just here for the wedding. Why don't you ask Jiang Huan? You're both men, so it'll be easier for you to talk about these things." Tao Ying said, looking very clever.
Xia Wenjing laughed angrily, then suddenly wanted to slap himself twice. How could he have been so stupid as to come looking for this idiot woman?
"What do you need me for?" Before Xia Wenjing could speak, Jiang Huan and two other people walked in from outside.
After speaking to his companion, he strode over, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Tang Ying.
"Why didn't you order anything to eat? This snack shop is pretty good." Jiang Huan glanced at the food on the table, looked at Xia Wenjing with some surprise, and then asked Tao Ying.
"She said she couldn't eat anymore," Xia Wenjing quickly explained, feeling embarrassed by Jiang Huan's gaze.
"Even if you can't eat it all, you can still try some." Jiang Huan went over and ordered a few specialties for Tao Ying before sitting back down.
"I heard you mention me just now, what's up?" Jiang Huan didn't care about Xia Wenjing's embarrassment at all.
If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing and his age, Jiang Huan would have wanted to beat Xia Wenjing up.
What a load of nonsense, giving him attitude.
"summer…"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if there's anything else I can help with regarding Jiang Jiang's wedding." Xia Wenjing quickly interrupted Tao Ying.
Doesn't this stupid woman have any sense at all?
Don't you know that you can't say anything carelessly at such a sensitive time and in such a tense atmosphere?
Tao Ying lowered her head again and remained silent, not even glancing at the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Huan asked with concern.
"Commander Xia wouldn't let me speak," Tao Ying said.
"Xia Wenjing, what exactly do you mean? My Jiang Jiang's marriage is naturally a matter for the Jiang family and the Tang family to care about. Who do you think you are? Besides, if you just want to ask, why don't you come to my house and ask? Why are you making things difficult for my guests? Do you really think our Jiang family is easy to bully?"
Jiang Huan frowned and glared at Xia Wenjing. His fists were clenched tightly.
I've wanted to beat up Xia Wenjing for over a decade, but I've never had the chance.
"Jiang Huan, you've misunderstood." Xia Wenjing considered himself a mature and steady person.
Naturally, he wouldn't confront Jiang Huan head-on.
“We have nothing to say to you, Tao Ying, let’s go.” Jiang Huan said, pulling Tao Ying up and leading her to sit on the other side.
Xia Wenjing “…”
Tao Ying quickly followed and took away the crab roe buns that had just been served.
"What's going on, Lao Jiang?" The two people who came in with Jiang Huan stared intently at Jiang Huan holding Tao Ying's hand, their faces full of gossip.
Has this ancient iron tree finally blossomed?
