Xia Xicheng glanced at Meng Qiong indifferently.

Meng Qiong obviously hadn't expected this, but she calmly explained with a smile: "Didn't Sheng Yuan say that? The taste is roughly the same. It's understandable that I couldn't taste the difference at first, as the taste is so similar."

"Didn't those five tourists also say—"

Xia Xicheng interrupted her directly: "They are understandable. Aren't you a food blogger? Shouldn't you know more about this than them?"

Meng Qiong's smile became a little forced: "That may be because I tasted less just now, Master Xia, you don't have to keep holding me on this point."

Xia Xicheng seemed to have heard a funny joke: "Oh, I see, it turns out that the program team invited you here, so you can just try it casually-"

"Just pretend, rate based on your mood, and conclude based on your mood that these two dipping sauces taste the same?"

Everyone suddenly came to their senses.

——Isn't the origin of this misunderstanding because of Meng Qiong's words? If she had been more attentive, careful, cautious and professional, Sheng Yuan would not have been questioned in vain.

This girl Sheng Yuan is really innocent.

Zheng Baiqing wanted to apologize, but Meng Qiong should apologize more! Everyone looked at Meng Qiong as if they had substance, and began to doubt her professionalism and even her character.

Meng Qiong didn't expect that he would dig a hole for himself because of his quick words.

To be honest.

At first, she was jealous of Sheng Yuan. She was jealous that the young master of the Xia family was so polite to Sheng Yuan. Moreover, she was ignored by Xia Xicheng at the elevator entrance, which made her feel embarrassed.

The contrast between the two attitudes, one in heaven and one in hell, caused her to feel resentful and unbalanced.

She targeted Sheng Yuan openly and covertly in order to please her older friend Gu Yun, but in her heart, she was completely willing to do so and felt at ease wanting to trip up Sheng Yuan.

“…”

Everyone was still looking at Meng Qiong, waiting for her to apologize.

There were even bursts of roars from the audience.

"What a crap gourmet! What he said is baseless! I am speechless!"

"The little girl made such delicious cakes, but she was bullied. I can't stand it! If you don't apologize today, I will expose you in the short video!"

“…”

Meng Qiong tasted the sauce only briefly, but she felt the consequences of her own actions.

"Sheng, Sheng Yuan, I'm sorry..."

Meng Qiong couldn't quite say the three words "I'm sorry".

Xia Xicheng taunted, "Do you need me to find you a Chinese character teacher on the spot?"

“…”

"Sheng Yuan, I'm sorry."

Xia Xicheng scratched his ears. "Do you know how to apologize? If not, I'll teach you. You have to bow when you apologize. Do you understand?"

Meng Qiong gritted his teeth and looked grim, but he knew that if he didn't do as he was told, this matter would not be resolved.

"Sheng Yuan, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my problem."

This sentence is finished.

Meng Qiong felt that she had lost all her face. She had always been pampered, so how could she endure such humiliation?

He closed his eyes, finished speaking, turned around and hurried off the stage, unable to stay any longer.

"And you."

Xia Xicheng caught Zheng Baiqing, who was trying to hide in the corner, with a precise look.

“…” -After the show ended outside, we returned to the guest house.

Lin Xue has been staying in the room with a gloomy look on her face for more than an hour.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

"Teacher Lin Xue." The voice of a staff member.

Lin Xue frowned irritably, not wanting to open the door at all, and responded: "I'm not feeling well, let me be quiet for a while."

The staff outside the door paused.

"Um, it's Chef Wu Hui. He's downstairs. Let me ask you to come down."

"What? Master is here!" Lin Xue quickly got up from the bed.

Can't wait to go downstairs.

The Master's voice came from the living room.

"Ms. Sheng Yuan, I'm really sorry that this happened."

Lin Xue stood in a daze on the last step.

Seeing the always serious and individual master standing in front of Sheng Yuan, he said apologetically: "This matter is because my little disciple is ignorant. I hope I have not caused you unnecessary trouble."

Sheng Yuan waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, I don't take it to heart."

But Wu Hui still sighed deeply.

She didn’t know if it was Lin Xue’s illusion, but she actually sensed a humble and submissive look from her master.

Lin Xue shook her head vigorously. How could this be possible? She must have seen it wrong! But if she heard it correctly, the master said "you" to Sheng Yuan? Why would the master treat Sheng Yuan like this...

The people in the living room noticed her.

Wu Hui turned around, his eyes returning to the stern look of a master, with a hint of anger in them: "Lin Xue, come here."

Usually, the master would only call Lin Xue’s full name in anger when she made a serious mistake.

Lin Xue held her breath and walked over. The joy of the Master’s arrival was dissipated. She was a little afraid to look at the Master’s face and whispered, “Master…”

"Apologize to Miss Sheng Yuan."

Lin Xue raised her head in disbelief: "Master?!"

"Hurry up!" Wu Hui's voice was cold and hard.

Lin Xue was so frightened that her body trembled and she froze.

"No need," Sheng Yuan interrupted: "Master Wu Hui, you have come back from such a long distance, make sure to rest." - Wu Hui called Lin Xue out alone.

Lin Xue's eyes were red, and she felt very aggrieved: "Master, why? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

Wu Hui scowled: "You still dare to say that you did nothing wrong?! Do you think I'm old or blind! I watched the entire live broadcast on the way back. You tasted both of those dipping sauces! Don't tell me you didn't taste it!"

Lin Xue’s face turned pale.

——When Meng Qiong asked herself to taste the dipping sauce, she was indeed able to taste a different texture in the same flavor, and she was very perceptive and discovered it quickly.

But... not only did she not say anything, but she questioned herself about the reaction she showed at that time, which directly fueled Meng Qiong's words.

Lin Xue was shocked at first. Even though she tasted a different flavor, Sheng Yuan still used this secret recipe. She didn't quite believe that her master would give the secret recipe to an outsider, so she chose to believe Meng Qiong's words more.

In fact, she is the party involved.

If we had asked questions in time, given a little thought, and listened to others, things wouldn't have come to this.

Seeing her guilty look.

Wu Hui was so disappointed: "You, you almost got me into big trouble!"

Lin Xue was confused: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Wu Hui sighed in annoyance: "It's because I've been too busy recently and didn't ask about your schedule. If I knew that Miss Sheng Yuan was also on your show, I would have told you earlier."
