Chapter 48 Good News, Bad News

The place to eat hot pot is in the shopping mall near Jiang University.

Considering that there was still a roll call to sign in at the sports meeting in the afternoon, Jiang Michuan didn't take the person too far. He directly found a Thai hotpot in the mall and took the person there.

On the way over, Jiang Michuan answered a phone call.

Cheng Xiaoyue followed him and listened vaguely. She guessed that it was Aunt Lin who called, but she didn't know what exactly she said.

Jiang Jianchuan hummed a few times, hung up the phone, turned around and said to her,

"My mother is coming over and wants to have dinner with us."

Cheng Xiaoyue was stunned, thinking that Lin Hui came here specially at noon, maybe it was Looking for Jiang Michuan to say something important, she immediately hesitated for a few seconds and said,

"Ah, will I disturb you?"

If it was inconvenient, she might as well go back to school and go to the cafeteria by herself, so as not to make her future mother-in-law think she was inconvenient. sensible.

There was no expression on Jiang Michuan's face.

He just glanced at her and said, "It's okay." Without saying anything more, he took her into the elevator, pressed the 4th floor button, and then without saying a word, he stared at the LCD panel with his head raised. Jump on the numbers one after another.

They came early. It's not yet 12 o'clock, and there are still many empty seats in the restaurant.

Jiang Michuan chose a table for four by the window and took her to sit down. He asked the waiter to hand her the menu and let her see what she wanted to eat. He lowered his head and sent Lin Hui the location of the restaurant.

Cheng Xiaoyue ordered charcoal-fired pork neck, stir-fried prawns with royal curry, and hot pot with tom yum soup.... Then he hesitated whether he should have a dessert.

She was debating whether to order mango sticky rice or coconut milk sago cake...

Based on Cheng Xiaoyue's understanding of Lin Hui, she should prefer the sour and sweet taste of mango, but for herself, she prefers Love the milky flavor of coconut milk sago cake.

She finally made the decision to order mango sticky rice. Just as she was about to wave, she heard the sweet and crisp voice of the waiter coming from not far away.

"This way please..." There

were scattered footsteps. Cheng Xiaoyue raised her head subconsciously and was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Lin Hui, wearing a smart suit and skirt, walked towards their table with a serious smile.

She was followed by He Hui.

He Hui wore a ruffled white shirt with a gray one-line skirt underneath. The fabrics with superior texture made her figure curve forward and backward, and her gait was swaying.

Cheng Xiaoyue's expression was stunned, and she looked at Jiang Michuan opposite with some disbelief. Her clear eyes were a bit confused, as if she was asking him why he didn't tell him that He Hui was coming too...

Jiang Michuan was calm. The expression on his face remained unchanged, as if he already knew that He Hui was coming to eat together. When he saw the two of them arriving, he stood up and pulled out the chair next to him, caring and gentlemanly.

When Lin Hui saw this, she smiled particularly kindly and looked back at He Hui meaningfully.

Cheng Xiaoyue also stood up quickly, suppressing her discomfort, and called someone obediently,

"Aunt Lin, Sister He Hui."

Lin Hui touched her hand, a little surprised,

"So Chu Zhou is here?"

Cheng Xiaoyue quietly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang. Jianchuan, he didn't tell his mother?

What kind of bad idea is this?

Cheng Xiaoyue felt strange in her heart and blinked in confusion. Before she could explain, she heard Jiang Jianchuan standing beside her and said calmly,

"I just lost the game and I was afraid that she would be in a bad mood. So I took her out to eat hot pot. ."

His explanation was quite serious and close to the facts. However, Cheng Xiaoyue was still keenly aware of every subtlety.

I'm afraid she's in a bad mood...

She's not in a bad mood either! In fact, she would be happy if he came to watch her game!

Lin Hui and He Hui looked at each other and smiled,

"So that's it..."

The little girl in front of them was still wearing a high school uniform, with a childish look on her face. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Jiang Michuan can treat him with ulterior motives.

Lin Hui didn't take it seriously. Anyway, she liked Cheng Xiaoyue's lively personality and eating together could liven up the atmosphere. So she greeted everyone,

"Don't stand there, sit down and talk."

As she said this, she looked at He Hui and motioned for her to sit on Jiang Michuan's side.

He Hui sat down gracefully, raised her eyes and smiled at Cheng Xiaoyue, her eyebrows were curved, beautiful and gentle.

However, the next second, the chair beside Cheng Xiaoyue was pulled away.

Jiang Jianchuan sat down sideways, sitting diagonally across from He Hui.

Lin Hui and He Hui were both stunned, as if they didn't expect that he would suddenly change positions, and the expressions on their faces froze.

Cheng Xiaoyue was stunned on the spot, standing dumbly unable to react.

Jiang Jianchuan placed the tableware quietly, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. Seeing her with dazed eyes, standing beside him as if standing still, he couldn't help but said with a smile,

"Sit down, why are you still standing?"

He placed the tableware. Chopsticks, plates, and then handed over wet wipes.

Lin Hui originally wanted to say something, but she remained silent for a few seconds, then walked around to He Hui's side and sat down opposite him.

Cheng Xiaoyue quickly sat down as well.

This meal was not as relaxing as expected.

Although Lin Hui was a kind and kind aunt to her, the atmosphere at the dinner table today was obviously not right.

Cheng Xiaoyue held the menu gingerly and ordered according to the idea just now. Just as he was about to close the menu and hand it to the waiter, he heard Emikawa say,

"Add another coconut milk sago cake."

The waiter responded, took the menu, poured tea with a polite smile, and left.

Cheng Xiaoyue held the tea cup and listened to Lin Hui and He Hui laughing and chatting about work. From time to time, she would nod Jiang Jianchuan to let him join in the conversation.

When the conversation was almost over, the dishes were served.

Cheng Xiaoyue lowered her head to eat. The Tom Yum Kung hotpot contained her favorite prawns, mussels, and gourds, but it tasted like nothing in her mouth.

She ate and listened to their conversation.

As Lin Hui was talking, the conversation suddenly changed,

"Huihui is new here and is not familiar with this place. If you are free, you can always make an appointment to have dinner together..."

Cheng Xiaoyue choked suddenly and quickly reached out to take it. Tea cup on the table.

She usually doesn't like spicy food. When Lin Hui saw this, she just thought it was because she was spicy. She quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her, then looked at Jiang Michuan and then at He Hui.

Her gaze was too obvious, and her intention to bring the two together was not hidden.

He Hui said nothing, just looked at him with arched eyebrows.

She knew that Jiang Michuan might not be interested in her for a while, and she wasn't in a hurry to develop feelings for her right away, so she smiled and tentatively asked,

"Is that okay?"

Jiang Jianchuan carried the teapot and poured tea for Cheng Xiaoyue without raising his head. His voice was as lazy as ever, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

"I've been very busy recently."

Lin Hui glared at him. "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right?"

The waiter brought it After the meal, for dessert, I whispered, please take your time.

The coconut milk sago cake was full of milky fragrance. Jiang Michuan took a piece and put it in Cheng Xiaoyue's bowl. He took out the small toothpick holding the pandan leaf in place for her

. "Just deal with two bites in the canteen."

He concentrated on taking care of the ones around him . The girl was having lunch and didn't pay much attention to Lin Hui's words, let alone look at He Hui's expression on the other side.

He Hui observed from beginning to end and could see that he was really not interested in her, so she changed the topic with a smile and said that she was busy with work recently and couldn't find time to make an appointment for dinner.

Cheng Xiaoyue ate the coconut milk sago cake in small bites without saying a word the whole time.

He Hui went to the bathroom midway.

Lin Hui immediately took advantage of the absence of the person and kicked the person opposite her under the table,

"What's wrong with He Hui? Why are you rejecting her like this?"

She didn't avoid Cheng Xiaoyue with these words, and she obviously regarded her as her relative. The daughter, without hesitation, criticized Emikawa's indifference in front of her.

After being kicked by his own mother, Jiang Jianchuan put down his chopsticks and lazily said,

"It's inappropriate."

Lin Hui frowned in confusion,

"Isn't it appropriate to be one year younger than you? Or maybe you don't like age. Young one?"

In her opinion, He Hui is worthy of her son in all aspects.

He is good-looking and has a good family background. What's more important is that they are of the same age and can easily have common topics.

Cheng Xiaoyue held her breath and listened to them quietly.

Out of the corner of his eye, the man straightened his sleeves, and then sighed quietly,

"I really don't like it."

Cheng Xiaoyue: "???"

Cheng Xiaoyue: "..."

The good news is that there is one less love rival.

The bad news is that she's been left out, too.
