Chapter Eighty-Four
The small table seemed to be divided into two by an invisible dividing line.
Jiang Fengmian and Shen Qiaoran were on the same side, chatting animatedly.
Xiao Jue and Shen Qiaochen on the other side were silent. They both lowered their eyes to themselves, not knowing what they were thinking.
I don't know how long it took, but Nan Zhu hurriedly opened the door and entered, and what he saw was this scene.
He was stunned for a moment, his handsome face looking thoughtful.
Unlike Nan Xing, Nan Zhu did not deliberately slow down his steps when he stepped forward.
So, when he walked in front of everyone, everyone at the table also raised their heads.
"Nan Zhu has met the master, Mr. Shen, and the fourth lady. " Nan Zhu said with a fist.
Seeing that Nanzhu was paying tribute to all three of them, but she was the only one left, Jiang Fengmian couldn't help but jump in anger.
"Hey Nanzhu, didn't you see that I am here too? "
Nan Zhu has a lively temperament and is not as taciturn as Nan Xing. In addition, he and Jiang Fengmian have known each other for a long time and have always been used to being casual.
So what Jiang Fengmian said now was just a joke, and he didn't really mean to blame Nan Zhu.
Nan Zhu looked at Jiang Fengmian with a half-smile, and it was clearly written in his eyes: Do you want me to call you 'the host' here?
Then his eyes glanced in the direction of Shen Qiao and Shen's brother and sister, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some words are really inappropriate to say at this time.
So when Jiang Fengmian saw his actions, he didn't say anything more, just laughed and cursed a few times.
Xiao Jue was not interested in the banter between the two of them, and just said lazily:
"how?"
When Nan Zhu saw this, he didn't bother joking with Jiang Fengmian. He straightened his expression and was about to say something when he realized that brother and sister Shen Qiao and Shen were also here.
Then it stopped.
Shen Qiaochen was always keen on observing words and expressions. When he realized Nan Zhu's hesitation, he knew that Nan Zhu must have something important to say to Xiao Jue.
At this time, her and Shen Qiaoran's existence was obviously inappropriate.
So she smiled softly and said, "Third brother, I have something to tell you."
With that said, he wanted to pull Shen Qiaoran up and leave.
Although Shen Qiaoran has a wild temper, he is not stupid.
Even though he was still a little confused when he was pulled up by Shen Qiaochen at first, he also reacted at this time, nodded to the remaining three people, and wanted to turn around and leave with Shen Qiaochen.
Unexpectedly, before the two brothers and sisters could get up and leave, Xiao Jue said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Qiao paused and looked back at Xiao Jue.
The boy in black looked up lazily and said:
"This matter...is related to you. What, don't you want to hear it?"
Things related to her...
Thinking of something, Shen Qiaochen sat back down again.
Is there anything else related to her tonight that is worthy of Xiao Jue sending someone to investigate.
Don’t you want to hear it? How could you not want to hear it?
It just so happened that Shen Qiaochen also wanted to know whether the person Xiao Jue checked was the same person as she guessed.
Seeing that Xiao Qiao was not ready to leave for some reason, and heard from Xiao Jue that this matter seemed to have something to do with Xiao Qiao.
Shen Qiaoran immediately stopped getting up and sat back in the chair like Shen Qiaochen.
…
Seeing that Xiao Jue had no intention of letting the Shen brothers and sisters avoid themselves, Nan Zhu naturally no longer hesitated.
Shen Qiaochen also discussed this issue when he and Ji Qingyuan were corresponding.
In recent years, there have been a lot of new restaurants in Beijing, and the variety of dishes is pretty much the same.
Even because it was newly opened, even if it was just for the sake of freshness, Zui Jiangyue lost a lot of customers.
The subsequent malicious competition from Jinzhuxuan also made Ji Qingyuan realize that the traditional business model was no longer suitable for today's environment.
If we continue to follow the old path, Zui Jiangyue, the number one restaurant in Beijing, will sooner or later be replaced by someone else.
Of course, it was Shen Qiaochen's appearance that finally made Ji Qingyuan make up his mind.
Shen Congyan's reputation has always been good, especially since his wife, Lin, is the only one in his backyard. They have been loving each other for ten years, and they have to keep her with them even when they are guarding outside.
The female relatives of each government saw this, and all of them felt envious of Mrs. Lin.
Moreover, Mrs. Shen was also from the Lin family and was Lin's direct aunt. The two of them got along more like biological mother and daughter.
This makes every lady and lady who is struggling in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lament even more about Mrs. Lin's good fortune.
The only person who can make them feel a little more balanced is the Shen family's only legitimate daughter, Shen Qiaochen.
It is said that she is withdrawn and does not like to socialize.
But the last palace banquet actually made Prince Xiao treat her differently.
Many of the people who entered the palace that day saw Shen Qiaochen for the first time, but it must be said that she was the most outstanding one among the ladies from famous families.
Her appearance and demeanor are different from the rumors, which is indeed very impressive.
Before leaving, Xiao Jue seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and looked at Shen Qiaochen, or to be precise, at her right hand.
"I'll have someone send me a bottle of muscle-building ointment later. Remember to use it."
Shen Qiaochen's expression remained unchanged, "Thank you for your concern, young prince. It's just that I have been sick all year round, and I know a few doctors with good medical skills in my family. With their care, I will be fine soon."
Shen Qiaoran didn't know the extent of Shen Qiaochen's injuries, but from what Xiao Jue said, it seemed that he wanted to send someone to Shen's mansion.
Today, Xiao Jue saved Xiao Qiao again, which made Shen Qiaoran very grateful.
But as a brother, he feels that all the men in the world are not worthy of his sister.
So Shen Qiaoran took a step forward and protected Shen Qiaochen behind him. He cupped his fists and said to Xiao Jue:
"Brother Xiao has saved Xiao Qiao's life. Shen Qiaoran is here to thank the Shen family. But my sister-in-law has her own family to take care of her and will definitely keep her safe. There is no need to trouble you, Prince Xiao."
These words were high-sounding, but what Shen Qiaoran was thinking about at the moment was that as the saying goes, men and women are not close to each other, and his sister is young and has always been raised in a boudoir.
A girl with a simple heart like her is the easiest to trust others.
Especially when you meet a man like Xiao Jue who is "good" in all aspects, he is the easiest to be deceived.
Moreover, Xiao Jue repeatedly made his presence felt in front of Shen Qiaochen. Fortunately, Xiao Qiao was still young and had not yet figured it out.
Otherwise, how could he withstand Xiao Jue's teasing? Everyone knew that Prince Xiao was a romantic young man, and there were countless girls in the capital who admired him, but who had seen him looking good on any one? Shen Qiao Ran could I still remember that Xiao Jue had just returned to Beijing after winning the battle last year, and His Majesty hosted a banquet for him. At the banquet, the step-concubine of King Yong specially brought her natal niece to meet Xiao Jue. Everyone could see the drunkenness in this. Understand. This Miss Wang San is also the legitimate daughter of the Right Prime Minister, and she is also known as a virtuous person in the capital. But at this time, she blushed in front of Xiao Jue, and everyone present did not envy Xiao Jue's good fortune. But in Xiao Jue’s eyes, his sister might not be as good-looking as himself.
