Jiang Rong had already gone downstairs. Seeing the housekeeper's embarrassment, he said casually, "I'm Mr. Shang's new chef."
"Chef?" Zhuo Xiaotian looked at Jiang Rong and said, "How can a chef dress like this in the host's house? I think you clearly have ulterior motives!"
Jiang Rong was a little confused. She grabbed her silk nightgown and looked at it, but couldn't see anything inappropriate.
Zhuo Xiaotian glanced at Zuo Xiaqing and whispered, "Xia Xia, how can you be so calm? Look at this person. He showed up at the Egret Manor dressed like this so early in the morning. It's obvious that he's staying here for the night!"
Zuo Xiaqing pursed her lips and replied in a low voice: "Brother Shaoheng is not that kind of person."
"I know Mr. Shang hasn't been interested in women these years, but you can't let your guard down just because of this." Zhuo Xiaotian was extremely anxious and said, "Even if Mr. Shang is calm and collected, how could any man not like her when she looks like this?"
"But Brother Shaoheng already has a fiancée." Zuo Xiaqing lowered her eyes: "He is different from other men."
Seeing her stubborn attitude, Zhuo Xiaotian said angrily, "All men are like that. No one is special! Xia Xia, you've been guarding Mr. Shang for so many years. If someone else snatched him away, wouldn't you be furious?"
Seeing that the two of them were chatting among themselves, Jiang Rong didn't intend to continue paying attention to them and went straight to the kitchen. Zhuo Xiaotian immediately asked, "Where are you going?!"
Jiang Rong: "Go to the kitchen."
Shang Shaoheng was foresighted enough to force her to drink half a bowl of porridge yesterday, otherwise she would have starved to death in bed.
Zhuo Xiaotian's eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. She said, "Since you said you are a chef, and Xia Xia and I haven't eaten yet, why don't you make us breakfast?"
When Steward Lin heard this, he immediately said, "I'm afraid this is..."
Jiang Rong paused and looked at Zhuo Xiaotian: "Do you want to eat the breakfast I made?"
Zhuo Xiaotian crossed her arms and said, "Aren't you a chef? Since you are a chef, cooking is your job. What's wrong with asking you to make breakfast?"
Jiang Rong said, "I am Mr. Shang's chef, not yours."
"Are you still being pretentious?" Zhuo Xiaotian sneered: "Don't you see how much you weigh? Just because you have some looks, you really think you are so great? I tell you, I must eat the breakfast you made today! Otherwise..."
She raised her chin and said proudly, "Do you know who this person next to me is? She is Mr. Shang's favorite sister. They are going to get married in the future. Who do you think you are? Just a novelty, a little toy. How dare you show off in front of us?!"
Jiang Rong finally understood where the two people's hostility towards her came from.
It turned out that he mistook her for Shang Shaoheng's lover.
Jiang Rong's face was indifferent as he asked Zuo Xiaqing, "Do you want to eat too?"
Zuo Xiaqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for your help."
Jiang Rong said nothing more and turned to go to the kitchen.
Zhuo Xiaotian snorted softly: "Look, isn't she scared? Let me tell you, Xia Xia, when facing this kind of vixen, you have to show the power of a queen, that's the only way to calm them down!"
Zuo Xiaqing glanced at Steward Lin and sighed, "Don't say that. Brother Shaoheng and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Okay, okay, I get it. You haven't confirmed your relationship yet, but isn't that a matter of time?" Zhuo Xiaotian didn't care. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, waiting leisurely for Jiang Rong's breakfast.
kitchen.
The servant said timidly, "Miss, just tell us what you want to eat and we will make it for you!"
Jiang Rong waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary and opened the refrigerator to take a look.
022 circles around her: [She ordered you around like that, and you actually put up with it? That's not like your character.]
Jiang Rong taught it: "It's wrong to be vindictive like Shang Shaoheng. We should be tolerant and tolerant, and not be so petty with those idiots."
Just then she saw what she was looking for, her eyes lit up, she reached out and took it out, then prepared the ingredients and made a few sandwiches, which looked quite presentable.
022: [It turns out you can do more than just make poisonous mushroom soup! ]
"Didn't I tell you I'm a pretty good cook?" Jiang Rong hummed a cheerful tune as he returned to the living room with the plates. He placed them on the coffee table and said to Zhuo Xiaotian, "Want to try it?"
Zhuo Xiaotian asked critically, "What are you doing? Are you sending us away with just a sandwich?"
Jiang Rong looked her over and over. Zhuo Xiaotian asked unhappily, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Rong: "I was wondering how your mom didn't beat you to death for being so picky about food."
"you!"
Zuo Xiaqing pulled Zhuo Xiaotian and said, "Okay, Xiaotian, didn't you say you were hungry on the way here? A sandwich would be good to fill your stomach."
Zhuo Xiaotian then said, "Forget it, for Xia Xia's sake, I won't bother with you."
She wiped her hands with a wet tissue, selected a sandwich, and took a bite.
Jiang Rong leaned leisurely on the sofa, counting silently in his mind: 1, 2, 3...
"Ah!" Zhuo Xiaotian screamed, threw away the sandwich, covered her mouth and hissed, "What is that... so spicy!"
Her face flushed red and she kept gasping for breath. Even after drinking a large cup of tea, the pain didn't get better. Instead, it became more and more intense. The burning sensation made her throat and stomach feel like they were on fire. Soon, she was sweating profusely and her tears were streaming.
Zuo Xiaqing was startled: "Xiaotian!? Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?!"
Jiang Rong said slowly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have a strong taste, so I cut a few slices of devil pepper in it. It looks like you can't handle spicy food?"
The Devil’s Pepper is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest pepper in the world. People who feel spicy after just a small bite of it cannot stand it. There are actually several slices of minced ginger cut into the sandwich!
Zhuo Xiaotian wanted to kill Jiang Rong. Her face flushed red, and she pointed at Jiang Rong with trembling fingers: "You...you bitch!"
Zuo Xiaqing gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, you're going too far. You dare to give Xiaotian something like this? If anything happens to her, how will you be responsible?!"
Jiang Rong said nonchalantly, "She speaks so harshly. Since her parents won't teach her, then I'll teach her this: don't eat things given by strangers."
"You... I'll kill you!!" Zhuo Xiaotian pounced on Jiang Rong with a ferocious expression, but Jiang Rong dodged easily. "I advise you not to move. The more you move, the more uncomfortable it will be."
"I……"
At this time, there was a noise at the door. Zuo Xiaqing seemed to have seen a savior, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Shaoheng, Brother Xi... Come and check on Xiaotian!"
Nie Xi was startled when he saw Zhuo Xiaotian's red face. "What's wrong? Are you going to perform on stage? How does the song go? Red-faced Guan Gong, fighting in Changsha?"
"It's her!" Zhuo Xiaotian pointed at Jiang Rong and said hoarsely, "She fed me the devil pepper. She wants to kill me!"
