Watching Wang Xiao’s smug expression, Er Zhu already guessed his purpose for coming.
Shi Changshan had been obedient and hadn't told him the truth!
It turned out that as soon as Er Zhu learned he was to meet Wang’s father and mother today, he had already guessed Wang Xiao’s intentions. So, he had sent a message to Shi Changshan, asking him to keep it a secret.
Hearing someone arrive, Wang’s father and mother came out. But when Wang’s father saw that it was Wang Xiao, his eyes held a complex emotion.
Wang Xiao had liked Xiao Mei since he was young, and today was Er Zhu’s day to meet her parents…
Unconsciously, Wang’s father felt the atmosphere was charged with tension!
“Wang Xiao, you haven’t visited in so long, please sit down!”
Unlike Wang’s father, Wang’s mother seemed very enthusiastic. She pulled Wang Xiao to sit on the other end of the sofa.
If Er Zhu were still the richest man in the neighboring city, Wang’s mother would have wholeheartedly approved of the marriage. But now that Er Zhu was on the verge of becoming penniless, how could she possibly let her precious daughter stay with him?
Although Er Zhu was capable, making a comeback wasn't that easy!
Especially in the business world, reputation meant everything!
She had originally intended to invite Wang Xiao, but she hadn’t expected him to show up on his own!
“Great-Grandma, this is some nutritional supplement I bought for you and Great-Grandpa. It’s a small gift, nothing special.”
Wang Xiao sat on the sofa, smiling, and handed the gift in his hand to Wang’s mother.
His generation was much younger than Wang’s father and mother, so he chose the closest generational term.
“Oh, this gift isn’t small at all. Their brand of cosmetics costs over a million yuan for a set!”
Wang’s mother’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at the gift box.
Looking at the brand name on the box, Wang Xiaomei also felt helpless. She wanted to speak up for Er Zhu, but such luxury brands were indeed very expensive!
“Unlike some people, who only brought a few chickens.”
Wang’s mother held the gift box with affection, glancing sideways at Er Zhu and speaking sarcastically.
A country bumpkin is truly a country bumpkin, with no worldly experience, only knowing how to send local produce!
“What Er Zhu brought is the Five-Flavor Chicken. The Five-Flavor Chicken is very popular among the wealthy these days, and it’s limited in supply daily. It’s not something money can buy!”
Seeing Wang’s mother’s look of disdain, Wang Xiaomei suddenly stood up, her heart burning with anger.
“Haha, Cousin, are you trying to make me laugh to death? What’s so rare about a few native chickens? And you can’t even buy them with money!”
“Exactly, I don’t oppose Er Zhu stepping up, but don’t treat us like fools!”
As soon as Wang Xiao’s mocking voice fell, Wang’s mother also frowned and shouted angrily.
“Alright, stop talking. Come and eat.”
Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to say something else, Wang’s father, with a slight frown, pointed to the delicious food on the dining table. And there, the Five-Flavor Chicken was prominently displayed!
“If you want to eat this kind of native chicken, I’ll buy you as many as you want!”
Wang Xiao turned his head and saw the Five-Flavor Chicken on the table. Looking at its ordinary appearance, Wang Xiao said with arrogance.
Wang Xiaomei had made such a fuss, he thought it was some kind of exquisite dish, but it turned out to be just this!
Wang Xiaomei’s face turned red with anger. She was about to speak, but Er Zhu pulled her back.
“Let him talk. Why bother arguing with an idiot?”
Just as Wang Xiaomei was confused, Er Zhu suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered.
The warm breath on her ear made Wang Xiaomei’s ears instantly turn red. Her heart pounded faster, and her face grew increasingly flushed!
Images that were not suitable for children kept flashing in her mind, making her feel as if she had entered a fantastical world!
Wang Xiaomei stared ahead with unfocused eyes, lost in a daze.
“Xiao Mei!”
Er Zhu noticed Wang Xiaomei’s distraction. He leaned close to her ear again and whispered.
Wang Xiaomei jolted, finally coming back to her senses. Thinking about what had just happened, she shyly lowered her head.
Oh my god, when did she become so lustful!
Er Zhu only whispered a few words in her ear, and she…
Wang Xiaomei shook her head vigorously, quickly dispelling those thoughts, and then sat down.
Although Er Zhu knew what Wang Xiaomei was thinking, he didn’t say anything.
Seeing Er Zhu and Wang Xiaomei whispering intimately, Wang Xiao’s anger intensified. He wished he could flip the dining table, but facing the Wang family, he could only endure.
“Today, I’ll taste just how delicious this native chicken is!”
Wang Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks. The furious look on his face suggested he was not picking up chicken but Er Zhu’s flesh.
Wang Xiao was about to mock, but the sweetness and fragrance of the chicken, along with the scent of traditional Chinese herbs, quickly spread through his mouth, leaving him speechless!
He had never tasted such delicious chicken in his life!
The Five-Flavor Chicken was so good that it made Wang Xiao forget the purpose of his visit!
Wang Xiao picked up piece after piece of chicken. Wang’s mother, standing by, frowned, her heart filled with anxiety!
Is this guy an idiot? Has he forgotten why he’s eating chicken!
“It’s so delicious, it’s absolutely delicious!”
Just as Wang’s mother was about to remind Wang Xiao, she saw him pick up another piece of chicken and eat it voraciously while exclaiming.
Is it really that good?
Wang’s mother, half-believingly, picked up a small piece of chicken. As soon as she put it in her mouth, a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes!
It was truly delicious!
The chicken was fresh and tender, juicy and succulent, with the aroma of traditional Chinese herbs mixed in. It was simply wonderful!
Wang’s mother picked up another piece of chicken and began to eat heartily. Wang’s grandmother and Wang’s father, seeing them eat so deliciously, couldn’t help but swallow.
“It’s really too delicious. Wu Ma, bring all the Five-Flavor Chicken out!”
Wang’s father and Wang’s grandmother also picked up chicken slices out of curiosity. But they found they couldn't stop, and even Wang’s father, who usually disliked chicken, was eating with his mouth smeared with grease.
“Er Zhu, is your chicken really this good!”
Seeing the situation, Wang Xiaomei swallowed and looked at Er Zhu in disbelief.
“It’s alright.”
Seeing everyone eating ravenously, Er Zhu smiled slightly, still calm.
Joking aside, the recipe for this Five-Flavor Chicken was from the Heluo Divine Arts!
“Excuse me, is Mr. Wang here?”
Just as everyone was captivated by the Five-Flavor Chicken, a man’s voice came from the doorway.
“Oh, it’s Mr. Zheng.”
Wang’s father looked up and saw an old man full of wrinkles at the door, and quickly stood up.
Mr. Zheng was from a truly prominent family. Although only a third-tier prominent family, he was still someone Wang’s father could only aspire to reach.
He had long wanted to cooperate with Mr. Zheng, but he had never had the chance to meet him. He hadn’t expected Mr. Zheng to pay a personal visit this time!
“I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for him!”
Just as Wang’s father warmly extended his hand to shake Mr. Zheng’s, Mr. Zheng glanced at him dismissively and pointed to the seat beside him.
