"No."
“She doesn’t eat spicy food.”
Chen Mengchu and Lu Jingxiao gave two different answers.
"Sister-in-law, don't you like spicy food? Why didn't you tell me? I almost ordered it."
Although Nan Yanran said this, her words revealed her blame for Chen Mengchu.
If you can’t eat it, why don’t you say it?
Did she intend for Lu Jingxiao to misunderstand her?
There was a trace of grievance on Nan Yanran's little face, and her eyes were misty, which made people feel distressed.
Su Manwen, who was sitting beside him, spoke up.
She took Nan Yanran's hand and patted it, "Your sister-in-law is like this, she doesn't want to trouble others, don't think too much!"
Su Manwen's words not only explained for Chen Mengchu, but also told Nan Yanran why she didn't say it.
Nan Yanran shook her head and said, "I didn't think much about it. I just felt that sister-in-law didn't need to be so polite."
Nan Yanran kept calling sister-in-law on the left and sister-in-law on the right, and it was so smooth.
Su Manwen nodded, feeling satisfied with Nan Yanran's performance.
After ordering the dishes, Nan Yanran started gossiping.
"Brother Xiao, you and sister-in-law haven't had a wedding in such a long time. Is it because sister-in-law's mother can't bear to let her go, so..."
"Shut up."
Before Nan Yanran could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Jingxiao's two cold words.
Nan Yanran was startled by Lu Jingxiao's sudden words. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, and a teardrop hung at the corner of her eye, about to fall. At this moment, she was like a flower that had been beaten by wind and rain, waiting for others' care.
"Xiao...Brother Xiao, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Nan Yanran asked Lu Jingxiao in confusion, and was even more puzzled by his performance.
Seeing Lu Jingxiao's angry look, Su Manwen explained.
"Xiaochu's mother passed away a long time ago."
Passed away!!!
Nan Yanran was surprised and hurriedly explained.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I don't know. I really don't know."
Shen Mengchu sneered and stood up from the chair.
"It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime."
It would be strange if you didn't know. When my mother had a car accident, it shocked the whole Yuncheng.
Although no one remembers, everyone knows that a wife in the Shen family died.
Nan Yanran didn’t know, how could it be possible.
It was just intentional.
If you really feel strange, just say that you are often abroad and you didn't know about it.
Nan Yanran had already thought of a way out, otherwise how could she dare to target Chen Mengchu like this?
Chen Mengchu smiled, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made people feel scared.
Lu Jingxiao stood up and helped Chen Mengchu sit down.
"It's okay, I'm here."
That was all Lu Jingxiao said.
There are no so-called superfluous words, just one sentence: It’s okay, I’m here.
This sentence is more difficult than any explanation.
Chen Mengchu didn't say anything, but leaned in Lu Jingxiao's arms and nodded.
After calming Chen Mengchu down, Lu Jingxiao reminded Nan Yanran again.
"Be careful with your words next time. If you can't, ask your agent to remind you."
Lu Jingxiao's tone was clearly unhappy.
Nan Yanran studied acting, so how could she not see what Lu Jingxiao was really thinking? She was just pretending.
Nan Yanran nodded, and then Lu Jingxiao said, "I understand, Brother Xiao. I will pay attention next time."
Lu Jingxiao hummed a cold word with a nasal tone.
"It would be best."
Lu Jingxiao did not forget to warn Nan Yanran for the last time.
Seeing Lu Jingxiao warning her like this, Nan Yanran felt dissatisfied.
What on earth did Chen Mengchu use to make Lu Jingxiao treat her like this?
Nan Yanran had a smile on her face, but her hands were clenched into a ball under the table.
Looking at Nan Yanran's appearance, Chen Mengchu also started his own method.
She reached out and climbed onto Lu Jingxiao's arm, and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Okay, Xiaoran didn't mean it. Don't be so serious, you'll scare her."
"No, I grew up with Brother Xiao and I know his character." Nan Yanran said hurriedly without waiting for Lu Jingxiao to say anything.
"That's good." Chen Mengchu replied with a smile, not angry.
Nan Yanran, if you are really well-behaved, I will naturally not bother with you, but if you are not, then you will be mine.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold. Let's talk while we eat."
Chen Mengchu urged a few people to stop Nan Yanran from talking so much nonsense.
The waiter brought the food.
It also stopped several people from continuing speaking.
During this time, Lu Jingxiao picked up some food for Chen Mengchu several times and even peeled shrimp for her.
Looking at this scene, Nan Yanran was extremely jealous, but she also knew that she couldn't say anything more.
She held back.
During a meal, several people eat with different thoughts in mind.
"Brother Xiao, it's too late. Can you take me home?" Nan Yanran asked Lu Jingxiao, her eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing Nan Yanran pretending to be scared, Chen Mengchu did not expose her, but pulled Lu Jingxiao's arm and said, "Why don't you take Xiaoran back? It's not safe at this late hour."
"What about you?" Lu Jingxiao did not agree but asked Chen Mengchu instead.
"I can do it myself."
"No." Lu Jingxiao refused coldly.
"I'm not suitable to send you back. Your current identity cannot have any problems. I'll let Zhou Shu send you back."
Lu Jingxiao's words seemed to be thinking about Nan Yanran, but in fact they were a rejection.
