Bian Xiaobo turned his head and said, "It's very simple. Lao Pan is here, and she should be here soon."
"Sophie, I like you very much, and I don't want to see you lose miserably."
Sophie felt unprecedentedly nervous, even slightly uneasy, and also had an indescribable excitement, "Is she... very powerful?"
Bian Xiaobo stopped what he was doing and looked Sophie up and down.
It wasn't until Sophie felt a little embarrassed when she saw her that Bian Xiaobo asked: "Sophie, do you think you are beautiful?"
It was such a confusing question that even Sophie was stunned.
Although Sophie doesn't like to talk about her appearance, she is still very confident in her appearance.
How to put it, although she doesn't want to regard a woman's beauty as a kind of capital.
But as far as appearance is concerned, she has never been intimidated by any woman and is confident that she can fight with anyone.
Bian Xiaobo smiled and said, "I can see that you are very confident in yourself."
"Of course, you do have the capital."
"To be honest, I have met many outstanding women in China over the years, including the Tianjing circle, which is rich in celebrities, and I have even visited Tianhai, which is rich in beauties."
"There are almost no women who can rival you Sophie in terms of appearance. There may be only one and a half who can equal you."
"But she is an exception. When you meet her, you will know that defining her by her beauty is a kind of blasphemy!"
"A woman who is extremely dazzling, but can make people ignore her appearance."
"Bian Xiaobo is the only woman I have ever admired in my life, and I regard her as the goal that I am determined to surpass in my life!"
"So you should know her status in the hearts of us!"
"Perhaps this way you can understand why Qi Sihai and the others were so resistant to you when you appeared next to Zhao Dong instead of her!"
"Although that Shu Qing is not dazzling, she got to know Zhao Dong earlier after all. They can't force Zhao Dong to break up with Shu Qing and then choose her."
Sophie answered, "But I'm different. I met Zhao Dong after being an instructor."
"In everyone's opinion, after Zhao Dong broke up with Shu Qing, he should go back to find her!"
"But Zhao Dong didn't, but I, Sophie, got there first!"
"So everyone thinks that it was me, Sophie, who stole the edge from that one, and they thought that I was no match for the victory!"
"It would be fine if I, Sophie, were really better than that one, but I, Sophie, don't have much that deserves their respect."
"So my existence is an insult to that person, is that what you mean?"
Bian Xiaobo did not shy away from it, "Although I don't want to admit it, they do think so."
"Their expectations for Zhao Dong are different from what you think."
"In their view, Zhao Dong must either let go of the past and return to the city completely. If ordinary reaches the extreme, they will give up."
"Either Zhao Dong returns to glory, fights back to Tianjing, takes back everything that belongs to him, and takes on everything that belongs to him!"
"But now Zhao Dong is neither up nor down, and you are stuck in the middle, which makes you, Sophie, a thorn in the side of many people!"
"No one said you were not good, they just felt that you appeared next to the wrong person at the wrong time, in the wrong place!"
Sophie understood, "So the more Zhao Dong cares about me, the more he will hurt them."
"What about you, Sister Xiaobo, why are you telling me this?"
Bian Xiaobo spread his hands and said, "I don't know why. I really don't want you to lose. I really want to see what height you can grow to in the future."
"But if it were just for now, if I hadn't attacked you, you really weren't qualified to be her opponent, and she wouldn't even look at you for a second!"
"I know you work hard, but if you really want to be with Zhao Dong, what you're doing now is far from enough."
"As I said before, if one day you grow to the height of your mother, you may be qualified to compete with her!"
Sophie's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Sister Xiaobo, you are familiar with my mother's past, right?"
Bian Xiaobo did not explain, "Let's wait until this incident is over. If you haven't given up this idea by then, you can go to the provincial capital to find me, and I can tell you something about what happened back then!"
When Sophie heard this, she suddenly felt unyielding and said, "Can you tell me the name of that woman?"
Bian Xiaobo's tone was filled with a rare awe, "Chu Wei!"
"No one in the entire company dares to call her by her first name."
"When it comes to instructors, the person that everyone thinks of most is not the current instructor Kuang or Zhao Dong, but her!"
"Because when she became a legend, Zhao Dong had not yet joined the company."
"Because after Boss Bai retires, she will be the talker of the entire company!"
"Now you should know what kind of woman you are facing?"
Sophie nodded, "Yeah!"
Bian Xiaobo asked, "Are you afraid?"
Sophie's eyes were piercing, "I'm not interested in opponents who are too weak!"
Bian Xiaobo smiled, took up the pot, and took out a plate of vegetables, "Let's bring it to them first."
Seeing Sophie leaving the kitchen, Bian Xiaobo's eyes showed a hint of complexity, his gaze fell to the sky, and he murmured in a low voice: "It has been so long since everything happened back then, is it right for me to do this..."
Not long after, several side dishes were placed on the coffee table.
Xiong Chen lightly kicked Pan Jiuhu under the table.
Pan Jiuhu understood, and in order to resolve the embarrassment just now, he tasted the chopsticks, and then deliberately praised: "Xiao Su, your craftsmanship is good!"
Sophie didn't hide it at all, "Brother Pan, you misunderstood. I don't know how to cook. These are all Sister Xiaobo's skills!"
"I'm just following along and carrying the dishes is pretty much it."
Pan Jiuhu was surprised by Sophie's frankness, and to be honest, he didn't like Sophie, partly because of her personality.
He always felt that women in the South were full of twists and turns, pretentious and coy.
Unlike women in the north, they are straightforward in their dealings with others and have no airs at all.
The reason why he said that just now was because Zhao Dong was present and he didn't want Sophie to lose face.
After all, if you don't know how to cook, in the eyes of most northerners, you are not a qualified wife.
Unexpectedly, Sophie actually admitted it without any hesitation.
This actually made Pan Jiuhu appreciate it, "Xiao Su, can you drink?"
Sophie took off her apron and sat down next to Zhao Dong generously, "I don't know how to drink."
"But Zhao Dong is now the filial son of the Xie family. He has to attend the funeral tomorrow and is not allowed to drink alcohol!"
"If Brother Pan wants to drink, I will accompany him to the end today!"
While she was talking, Sophie filled the wine glass in front of her, "It's the first time I see Brother Pan today. I'm going to do it first as a courtesy. The words are all in the wine. Brother Pan, please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glass full of white wine reached the bottom of the glass!
