This meal was truly satisfying and hearty for Xia Wei Liang!
While she came from a prominent family, with the Xia family's background not being poor, there was still a noticeable gap compared to the Han family.
The Australian lobsters felt large enough to give her a hug if they stood up; then there was the bluefin tuna air-flown from the island nation, along with freshly imported South African abalone, which reportedly takes eight to ten years to reach edible standards!
Was this something money could achieve?
This required considerable wealth to accomplish!
She felt that after this meal, she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
"Sister Wei, are you living with good friends? Oh, right, and that little girl you adopted, isn't her name Xiao Jin Zi? I've also packed portions for them and had them sent to your home."
"..."
Xia Wei Liang was stunned.
What kind of kindhearted handsome guy was this?
What breed was he?
Excitedly, she grasped his hand, "From now on, if you ever have no one to eat with, just look for me!"
"Mmm!" Mo Yin smiled, his mood also greatly improved.
Director Du waited until she came out. Xia Wei Liang was standing at the door, waving goodbye to him.
"If you have time, don't be polite, just come find me!"
Director Du found this scene novel. Even if it were captured by paparazzi, no one would dare to claim it was a quid pro quo or a hidden deal.
How could a meal turn them into buddies?
Xia Wei Liang opened the car door and got in, directly handing the packed fresh ingredients to Director Du. "Here!"
She said heartily, "If I have food, my little brother Du won't go hungry!"
Director Du was deeply touched. "It has to be my Wei Liang!"
As they drove back, Director Du asked her, "What's the situation? Did he just treat you to a meal? No investment talks? No discussion of new dramas? Not even a mention of endorsements?"
Xia Wei Liang patted her bulging stomach. "Isn't it obvious enough! They focused all their energy on the food, where would they have time to discuss careers!"
Although she could imagine that the other party might not do anything outrageous, it was still quite surprising that it was just a simple meal invitation.
However, upon careful consideration, such peculiar events happening to the Empress felt quite fitting.
When Xia Wei Liang returned home, she indeed found the occupants of the house feasting.
Xia Wei Liang walked over and stroked Xiao Jin Zi's hair. The little girl was buried in her food.
"Oh my gosh! The lobster is so delicious!"
Nuomi was so moved she could cry. Her life's ambition was to conquer herself with food, and today she finally achieved food freedom!
"Don't stop me, tonight I'm going to sleep hugging this lobster shell!"
Brother Yuan was relatively calmer. "He invited you to dinner and also took care of your family. This person is very thoughtful."
Nuomi only then remembered to ask, "Oh right, what kind of angelic young gentleman is he? Wasn't it said to be the young master of the Han family?"
"Actually, he's also a fan of mine. Absolutely beautiful and kind-hearted!"
As she spoke, she nonchalantly tossed her long hair. "My fans are just like me!"
Brother Yuan directly asked, "Isn't he trying to pursue you?"
"No, no!" Xia Wei Liang waved her hands. "He's just a kid, looks barely twenty, even younger than Liu Yao Zong."
Nuomi held a different opinion. "What's wrong with being young? Isn't there a saying, as long as you work hard enough, your husband is still in primary school!"
Brother Yuan nodded seriously. "One lobster feast and you've switched sides."
Nuomi immediately reacted. "No, no! My loyalty to Yi Shen is heartfelt!"
Xia Wei Liang ignored the two. After showering, she picked up her laptop and began her studies.
Although Xi En could be biased and rarely gave her a good look, the things he taught were practical, and it was evident that he held nothing back.
For that alone, he was quite admirable.
In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve was approaching.
Early in the morning, Liu Yao Zong, dressed neatly and formally, stood at the doorstep with a large pile of New Year's goods.
"Uncle."
Xiao Jin Zi liked him very much and ran over with a hop, opening her hands for him to hold.
"Xiao Jin Zi is so beautiful!"
Xiao Jin Zi was wearing a red outfit for New Year's greetings, all chosen by Xia Wei Liang. Her hair was also beautifully styled, adorned with two Chinese knots, dressed like a little lucky charm.
Xia Wei Liang poked her head out from the kitchen. "The couplets and window decorations are over there. You and Xiao Jin Zi go and stick them up."
"Oh!"
Liu Yao Zong took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, took Xiao Jin Zi's hand, first stuck up the couplets, and then they went together to stick up the window decorations.
Afterward, he returned to the kitchen to find Xia Wei Liang holding a cleaver, still examining the fish on the cutting board.
"Do you think it looks prettier cut horizontally, or vertically?"
Liu Yao Zong smiled. "Sister, let me do it."
"You know how?"
Xia Wei Liang expressed doubt, he looked even less reliable than her!
He rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, picked up the knife, and with skilled movements, chopped. "I've lived alone for a long time, there's nothing I don't know how to do."
Xia Wei Liang watched him quietly and said with a smile, "Then the New Year's Eve dinner tonight can be entrusted to you?"
Liu Yao Zong said confidently, "Just you and Xiao Jin Zi wait and see!"
Xia Wei Liang came out and asked Xiao Jin Zi again, "See what Xiao Lan is up to?"
Xiao Jin Zi ran back into the room, took a look at Xiao Lan's exclusive glass house, and quickly ran back. "Sleeping."
"Still sleeping? Forget it, I won't bother it."
Xia Wei Liang's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she happily answered, "Teacher Xiao!"
Because she was so happy, she didn't control her volume, causing Liu Yao Zong to come out of the kitchen to watch the excitement.
Xiao Jin Zi was also smiling and watching beside her.
The joy here also infected the person on the other end of the line.
"Waiting for my call?"
"No... a little bit... just a little bit! No more than that!"
Xiao Yi's low chuckle came through. "Get dressed and come downstairs now." Sudang Novel Network
"You're downstairs?"
"Mmm, taking you somewhere."
"But... Yao Zong and Xiao Jin Zi are still here."
"It won't take up too much of your time."
"Alright then!"
Xia Wei Liang happily hung up the phone, turned around, and went back into the house to rummage through her wardrobe.
"Xiao Jin Zi, which one do you think looks good?"
Xiao Jin Zi leaned in front of the wardrobe and seriously helped her choose.
"Just, just that white one... Trust my judgment, it's foolproof! I have impeccable straight man aesthetics!" Liu Xiao Zong, standing at the doorway at some unknown time, said while stirring eggs.
Xiao Jin Zi also nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll give you guys a chance."
Xia Wei Liang changed her clothes and instructed Liu Yao Zong to take good care of Xiao Jin Zi, saying she would be back shortly.
"I'm here at home! You don't need to rush back!" Liu Yao Zong was very thoughtful, waving to her at the doorway.
Xia Wei Liang arrived at the entrance of the community and indeed saw the film emperor's car parked opposite.
She got into the car and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Xiao Yi smiled. "To my place."
"What?!"
Is this a meeting with the parents?
