Chapter Eleven Be a Decent Person
The rich aroma floated in the air and penetrated Xu Jie's nose.
Steak Wellington is actually a steak wrapped in puff pastry. It is similar in form to shamusa, which is a grilled bun, but it is wrapped in a large piece of beef tenderloin.
Culture is an interesting thing. Foreign monks always seem to be good at chanting sutras. We can see foreign young people drinking whiskey at parties, but we can’t imagine domestic young people drinking liquor at parties.
Xu Jie cut off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The rich milk aroma, tender and juicy texture, and the mellow flavor of the beef itself are still there when chewing carefully, just like first love.
When he was satisfied, he looked at Su Yun across from him, chewing vegetables slowly, feeling like the bitterness of a broken love. He had only vaguely felt this sadness when his grandparents described the Great Famine.
Xu Jie is a kind person. He eats meat and his wife eats vegetables, but he always feels like he is abusing his other half.
He calmly pushed the plate of grilled lamb chops in the middle to the other party. If he loses weight after getting married, his fans will definitely think him unhappy.
Su Yun noticed the man's little movements, looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then used a knife and fork to break one of the grilled lamb chops into several small pieces, forked one piece and stretched it towards the man.
"Um!"
"Um?"
Xu Jie raised his head in confusion and saw the woman shaking the meat on the fork with a sweet smile on her face.
If he understood correctly, the other party wanted him to eat it.
Clothes!
I don't think about spreading dog food all the time, and I feel ashamed of myself.
He took a bite.
Well, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with no smell at all, which is good.
Just as he swallowed the meat, another piece of mutton was handed to him.
Xu Jie felt that there must be some misunderstanding here, so he leaned forward and said in a low voice, "You should eat it."
Su Yun also moved forward and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me to feed you?"
Xu Jie pursed his lips. He had communicated with his eyes for a long time before Ganqing, but the two of them were not on the same channel at all.
Forget it, just make mistakes.
He also forked a piece of mutton chop and handed it to Su Yun's mouth.
Su Yun rarely eats meat. It's not that she doesn't like it, but as an actress, she has to pay attention to her figure at all times, which requires strict control of her diet.
She wanted to tell the man, but the attentive eyes in the restaurant did not allow her to refuse, so she felt relieved and comforted herself that "you can only eat one piece and you won't gain weight" while she opened her mouth and bit down on the piece of meat.
When people around saw Su Yun and his wife feeding each other, they couldn't help but look envious.
Competition in today's entertainment industry is extremely fierce. In order to maintain their popularity and worth, artists do not even dare to get married. Even if they do get married, they will choose to hide their marriages and dare not make them public.
As a first-line female artist, Su Yun not only announced her marriage news in a high-profile post on Weibo, but also went out to eat with her amateur husband openly. She is really brave for love.
"You can eat, I'm not hungry." Su Yun chewed the meat for more than thirty times before swallowing it. Doing so could increase the feeling of fullness through multiple chewings.
Xu Jie thought that the other party might have eaten too much fish and meat during the day, and wanted to order a vegetarian dish to relieve his tiredness at night. A big star or a rich person must have more than a dozen dishes in a meal, so he ate on his own.
.
Of course, we don’t forget to talk about business.
"Tell me about your family's situation so that you can be prepared before you go."
He wasn't nervous, just a little worried.
With Su Yun's current identity and status, her family must have very high demands on her significant other. Ideally, even if she is not a business tycoon, she should at least be an industry elite.
But now that a young reporter has been brought back, the huge psychological gap will definitely lead to emotional imbalance. He seems to have seen the cold and violent scenes of Su Yun's parents making cold remarks.
Maybe he would just find a reason to send Su Yun away, and then give him a bank card: Here is five million, leave my daughter.
Well, I will become well-off immediately.
"My father is the dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine at Agricultural University, and my mother is a professor at the School of History at Normal University. I also have a younger brother who just graduated this year and majored in computer science."
Su Yun said it lightly, but Xu Jie was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that the other party came from a scholarly family.
Such families tend to be conservative in their thinking, and being conservative also means being old-fashioned and stubborn.
His and Su Yun's behavior of cutting off first and then showing off was extremely disrespectful. Under such circumstances, it would be even harder to leave a good impression on Su Yun's parents.
Tomorrow's arrival of the new son-in-law will definitely be a big deal.
In a daze, the image of his father-in-law holding a 40-meter-long butcher knife appeared in his mind, and the sound of sharpening the knife rang in his ears.
The meat no longer tastes good!
"What are their hobbies?" Xu Jie asked again.
He planned to use the most traditional method of "doing what he likes" to make a good impression.
For example, if he likes drinking, he can bring two bottles of good wine, and if he likes tea, he can bring a few bags of good tea.
Although the couple is fake, the drama must be played seriously.
After hearing this, Su Yun held her chin with her hand and said while thinking: "My father likes animals. He raised fish and birds at home in the early years. Later, he gave them all away because he was too busy with work and had no time to take care of them. My mother likes to read books.
, especially some old books. There are many books from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in her study, as well as some manuscripts."
Xu Jie took a breath of cold air.
"Sister, those are not called old books, they are called ancient books."
As far as he knew, people engaged in history and literature both liked to collect books.
But the problem is that the ancient books are very old. If you accidentally buy a fake one, it would be better not to give it as a gift. You won’t get the mutton, and you will be in trouble.
Su Yun couldn't help but laugh when she saw the man's troubled look.
"I have already prepared the meeting gifts for you. They are Pu'er tea bought from Dian Province and skin care products bought from abroad by my friends. In fact, these are secondary, as long as you are thoughtful, the main thing is your character."
She places great emphasis on the word "character".
Xu Jie's mentality didn't change much after hearing this.
Character is too vague and subjective. Once you have a preconceived idea, no matter how good your performance is in the future, you will be regarded as a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken with no good intentions.
"Otherwise..." Xu Jie said worriedly, "How about I buy two koi? If you like them, you can raise them. If you don't like them, you can stew them."
Su Yun burst out laughing, her body moving forward and back like a breeze blowing through willows.
"You are really a clever little kid."
"..."
Xu Jie's face turned red. He was indeed a little sick and needed to seek medical attention urgently.
Is it koi that people are missing?
No!
What is missing is a good son-in-law worthy of Su Yun.
Su Yun thought the man's blushing look was a bit cute, so she couldn't help but reached out and pinched the other man's face, smiling and comforting: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xu Jie rubbed his face and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm thinking about it."
He is not afraid, and he is not going to meet the monster. How can he still eat him?
At most he has been scolded a few times, like a toad wants to eat swan meat. Now there are tens of millions of people scolding him, and there are still two or three more to go?
Isn’t the key to working hard to give yourself a voice?
He also wants to be a decent person!
