Chapter 99 The Third Young Master suspects I poisoned the food?
There are so many dishes on the table; if you don't eat one, there are still others.
The big man reached for another plate with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
It has a sweet and sour taste, which suits children's palates.
But Lou Hongjian dared not reach for his chopsticks again.
He looked at the round little dumpling next to him in surprise and doubt, and when he saw Mao Mao shaking her head, his heart pounded.
It's no wonder Lou Hongjian overthinks things.
He knows Mao Mao so well!
He knew Mao Mao was hungry just by blinking her eyes, and he could tell how full she was by touching her little tummy. Mao Mao's favorite thing was playing with him, and secondly, eating.
Every soft, plump piece of her flesh was earned through her own hard work, bite by bite.
Most importantly, when have you ever seen Mao Mao pick at her food?
She was the least picky eater. No matter how badly the cook made a mistake, even if they cooked a pot of burnt food, she would calmly peel off the charred parts and continue eating—even though it would be snatched away and thrown away before she could actually taste it. She could also enjoy the unsold imported licorice candy in the department store.
Is there anything in this world that Mao Mao won't eat?
Lou Hongjian looked at the plate of braised pork belly, its rich, dark sauce and enticing color making it look incredibly appetizing, fatty yet not greasy. At home, this dish was a favorite of Mao Mao.
wrong.
Something's not right.
He already has ample experience.
When Little Lucky Star says no, it means something must be wrong.
Lou Hongjian looked at Nie Zhengyun. Nie Zhengyun didn't notice anything and had already picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth to chew.
"Wait!" Lou Hongjian couldn't help but call out, "Mr. Nie, don't eat it! Spit it out!"
Nie Zhengyun turned his head and looked over, his eyes filled with doubt.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, he obediently covered his mouth with a handkerchief and spat out the food in his mouth.
"Young Master Lou?"
The burly man who was serving vegetables to Mao Mao also stopped what he was doing and returned to his original position.
Lou Hongjian tried his best to keep his eyes straight ahead and not look at his sister next to him, and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Nie, there is something wrong with this dish."
Nie Zhengyun: "..."
It is really impolite to say that there is a problem with the feast that the host has specially prepared in front of them.
It's like slapping someone in the face.
But Nie Zhengyun glanced at the little girl on the table, looked into her big, dark eyes, and patiently suppressed his temper, saying, "Third Young Master, is there a problem?"
"Yes...yes..."
Lou Hongjian couldn't explain what the problem was.
But he knew he absolutely could not eat this meal!
Lou Hongjian said, "Mr. Nie, how about this, I'll treat you to a meal at Yuexian Restaurant. Yuexian Restaurant is a big restaurant in Haicheng, and the food is just as good as what we have here."
Nie Zhengyun chuckled: "Third Young Master, why go to such trouble? You have been invited to my home today, and as the host, I should be the one to treat you to a meal. There is no reason for you to be the one to pay for the meal."
"We'll see." He glanced at the table full of dishes in front of him: "Although the chef at home can't compare to Yuexian Restaurant, his skills are not bad either. Why should Third Young Master go to such lengths?"
Lou Hongjian: "But..."
"Miss Lou is already hungry. Does Third Young Master intend to let his sister go hungry?"
Lou Hongjian was confident about this: "Mr. Nie, this is also my sister's idea."
Nie Zhengyun: "Oh?"
Lou Hongjian lowered his head and asked, "Mao Mao, shall we not eat at Mr. Nie's house anymore, but go to a fancy restaurant outside? How about it?"
Mao Mao blinked: "Why? Brother, isn't there food here?"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Lou Hongjian tentatively asked, "Mao Mao, do you want to have dinner at Mr. Nie's house?"
Mao Mao answered loudly, "Mao Mao wants to!"
She took a deep breath, the aroma of the dishes on the table filling her nostrils, making her eyes and mouth sparkle: "Food, so delicious!"
Mao Mao wants to eat!
Lou Hongjian: "..."
That's not how you reacted just now!
Nie Zhengyun glanced over indifferently: "Third Young Master?"
Lou Hongjian broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, no, Mr. Nie, I didn't mean anything by it. There's definitely something wrong with these dishes."
Lou Hongjian couldn't help but wonder again: Why did it have to be him?
Whether it's his eldest or second eldest brother, they are experienced in handling matters and will definitely do a better job than him. Even if it's Ah Sui who comes, Ah Sui is smarter than him and may have already guessed where the problem lies.
Desperate, he pointed directly to the plate of braised pork that Mao Mao had refused: "Mr. Nie, putting everything else aside, there's definitely something wrong with this plate of meat."
"What's the problem, Third Young Master?" Nie Zhengyun asked. "Does Third Young Master suspect that I poisoned the food?"
Lou Hongjian: "What if?"
There was no trace of a smile on Nie Zhengyun's lips.
When he smiles, he is refined and easygoing; when he doesn't smile, the ruthless and decisive nature befitting the leader of the Green Gang becomes apparent.
Moreover, he was indeed in a bad mood at the moment.
Of course, that's to be expected.
No matter how much you prepare a feast to entertain your guests, if another guest you don't welcome doesn't touch the food but points at it and accuses you of poisoning it, even the most good-tempered person will be in a bad mood.
His temperament was never like that of the Buddha's compassion.
When he turns cold, he looks over with a blank expression, his eyes so cold they seem like he wants to stab someone.
The Green Gang members standing around also flexed their muscles and glared menacingly.
Mao Mao's eyes were wide open, and her little head turned back and forth, looking left and right.
The older brother on the left has a stiff body and a straight back.
Lou Hongjian silently repeated to himself: My father is Commander Lou, my father is Commander Lou…
The kind uncle on the right stared at the older brother with a dark expression.
Mao Mao thought for a moment, assuming that Nie Zhengyun also wanted to eat meat, and reminded him, "Uncle, you can't eat this."
Nie Zhengyun lowered his eyes and saw her chubby, genuine little face.
When she spoke again, her tone softened: "Why can't I eat it?"
"This doesn't taste good," Mao Mao said.
Nie Zhengyun: "Miss Lou doesn't like to eat meat?"
Mao Mao shook her head: "No, I really like eating it. Uncle, your meat isn't very good. Why don't you come to my house to eat next time?"
Nie Zhengyun: "..."
Of all the guests who have visited the Nie residence, this is the first time someone has complained that the food is not good.
not to mention……
Nie Zhengyun stared intently at her chubby, adorable little face.
She hasn't even tried it, how would she know it's bad?
