Sun Yun brought Ling Ju into Chuan Xiaoxiang's house.
It was not the kind of environment that Yan Jintang took her to that day when the official cuisine was served. The first impression was that it was very luxurious.
Instead, it looks friendly and affordable, but neat and clean, and the waiters inside are very enthusiastic.
There were about ten square tables in the lobby. They did not sit in the lobby, but were taken directly to the private room by the waiter.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a short-haired, capable woman in her fifties came over. Although she looked older, she looked very young and hadn't gained weight. She came over to pour tea with a warm smile on her face. "Xiao Yun, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I could have prepared so early. But I haven't seen you in a long time. You've been so busy lately!"
Sun Yun smiled and said, "Aunt, I came here on a whim, but do you have tripe today?"
The eldest sister, known as Auntie, clapped her thighs and said, "Yes! It was just delivered half an hour ago! You're lucky you came today. It's Tuesday and there aren't many people around at noon, so I'll prepare it well for you! Sit down and look at the menu, and tell me what you want to eat!"
"Okay!"
After her aunt left, Ling Ju curiously asked Sun Yun, "Yunyun, did you open this restaurant?"
Sun Yun nodded. "Yes, that was my aunt just now. I don't come here very often, so I let her take care of it. She's doing pretty well, right? I always thought my aunt had a talent for managing a restaurant."
Ling Ju confirmed, "No wonder she's so enthusiastic and welcoming. It turns out she's your aunt. I think she's very happy to see you. Haven't you seen each other for a long time?"
Sun Yun raised her hands and counted, "I haven't been here since the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I went to the south. The last time I went to the Song family was not long after I came back. After that incident, I stayed at home and didn't go out."
"That's been weird for a long time! Why didn't you tell me you had a hot pot restaurant earlier? I love hot pot! If I had known you had this, I would have come here every week!"
Sun Yun looked at her greedy expression and said, "You look fair and clean, so I thought you had a light taste. It wasn't until one day when Song Wei told me that you guys were eating hot pot at home and you ate a lot of chili and vinegar that I realized you don't have a very light taste."
Ling Ju was a little surprised, "Brother is telling you this?"
"We talk about everything. How should I put it? Our relationship is more like siblings, friends, buddies, but definitely not lovers."
Ling Ju leaned close to Sun Yun's head and said mysteriously, "You don't know how disappointed my mother-in-law was when she found out you didn't like my eldest brother. She liked you after just one look at you."
"Haha, I know that too. Song Wei said his second uncle asked about our relationship, and then he told me. We both laughed so hard that day that we almost choked."
"...Okay, you two really say everything."
Ling Ju glanced at the driver sitting next to him without saying a word.
"Big brother, what should I call you?"
The muscular man who was inexplicably cueed quickly reacted and replied in a very youthful voice, "Hello, Miss Ling, just call me Jiu. My last name is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Jiu."
This voice gave Ling Ju a huge sense of contrast. She was even prepared to hear a low or hoarse male voice. Of course, this was not a random guess on her part, but men of this body type usually have this voice. But why did Zhou Ajiu still have the voice of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy? It sounded nice, but a bit weird.
"Hello, hello."
Sun Yun handed the menu to Ling Ju, "You two should take a look at what to order. This is also the first time for Jiu to come here with me in such a long time, so eat to your heart's content. I personally recommend the lamb, tripe, and the cilantro and mushroom meatballs made by my aunt. They are especially delicious!"
Ling Ju likes to eat coriander and mushrooms. "Then let's have this one. I can eat either. Jiu, you can have some."
Ajiu was not polite and took a small notebook to write an article. It seemed that he often had dinner with Sun Yun and had probably been with Sun Yun for a long time.
Ling Ju glanced at the menu and saw that it was mostly meat dishes, which was just what he wanted.
Aunt Sun came into the private room again, bringing a large plate of freshly cut watermelon. "Come, kids, try it and see if it's sweet."
Then he picked out the piece in the middle for Ling Ju. "Here, girl, have this, it's the sweetest. You're pregnant, right? I think you're five months pregnant. What's your name?"
Ling Ju finally took a good look at Aunt Sun. She had similar features to Sun Yun, and her smile was quite pretty. Her face was wrinkle-free, and she was a beautiful, elegant lady despite her age.
Ling Ju smiled and replied, "Thank you, Auntie. My name is Ling Ju, you can just call me Orange. I'm over five months pregnant."
Aunt Sun smiled broadly and spoke in a Beijing accent, "That's great! Being able to eat is a blessing. Eat as many oranges as you want today. Feel free to ask for anything you want."
“Thank you, Auntie!”
Aunt Sun left after serving the watermelon. Ling Ju heard someone else coming to the door. She guessed that even if it wasn't busy, there would be a few tables occupied at noon.
Ling Ju was also very happy when she saw Sun Yun's relaxed expression. "Yunyun, your aunt is so nice and kind!"
Sun Yun nodded. "My aunt is really a very kind person. Because of me, she never got married."
"Why?"
Sun Yun glanced at Ling Ju, then took a piece of watermelon and said, "Ju Ju, my parents are both dead, and my aunt raised me. Although my parents left a lot of inheritance, it was not easy for my aunt to raise me alone.
A single woman raising my brother and sister-in-law's children, and inheriting a large inheritance, was bound to be targeted by bad people. To avoid future trouble, my aunt didn't experience any love before I came of age.
When I asked her to look for one after she became an adult, she was unwilling to do so. Later, she opened this hot pot restaurant and focused all her energy on it.”
