Chapter 48 Waiting for her husband's new daughter-in-law
There was a speck of moisture on the tip of the chopsticks he used. I don't know if it was grease or saliva. The possibility of saliva was unlikely. Lu Enxi knew his table manners so well that she could use them as an exhibition template.
But she suddenly felt nauseated, the nausea of being humiliated and having her dignity trampled on.
Lu Enxi pressed her stomach harder, and there were many veins on the back of her taut hands. She used her calm face to cover up the anger in her heart, "It's hard for an outsider to touch Mr. Si's royal meals. Mr. Si will enjoy it slowly, if nothing else."
It’s okay, I’ll leave first so I won’t disturb your meal.”
Si Bo Nian raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Lu Enxi to be so patient. He didn't curse, didn't lose control, and said his angry words appropriately.
Wasn't her stupidity just a disguise?
Seeing that Lu Enxi was about to get up to get his bag, Si Baonian said calmly, "Sit down, should I let you go?"
Lu Enxi hesitated, "I've finished what I need to say, and the rest has to be handled by the law firm. I wonder if Mr. Si has any other instructions?"
Her stubborn and serious look suddenly aroused the man's desire to conquer. She was hard, but he wanted to soften her, and she was strong, but he wanted to punish her severely. "If you are not an actor, how can you play a noble person?"
Lu Enxi said, "Master Si always reminds me not to mistake my identity. I also remind Master Si that I am your lawyer, not your secretary or personal assistant. You have no right to ask me to report to work outside working hours. I don't
My rebuttal is out of respect for you, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have a position.”
We didn't talk about work during lunch time, so she didn't think she was in the wrong.
Si Bo Nian was happy to see a dying little wild cat with its fur raised and its teeth bared. He wanted to see if the little wild cat could scratch someone with its claws. "I'll give you five hundred thousand, what's the less?" Lawyer Lu made such an impassioned statement.
, do you think I don’t have enough time to spend so much money to buy you a meal? How much do you want?”
Every time he used money to humiliate her, he saw her weakness clearly and concentrated on inserting the knife into it.
Lu Enxi felt a pain like a bee sting in her heart. She could bear the grievance and discomfort in her heart, but she couldn't control the physiological reaction of her eyes getting hot and wanting to cry. She stopped talking and pretended to look at the sky outside the window, "In the world of capitalists, everything can be clearly marked with a price."
Business, okay. Since Mr. Si is so generous, I won't be polite to you. Everyone's time is equally precious, so the request is not high, 100 million."
"Ah!"
Si Bo Nian put down his chopsticks and looked up to see Lu Enxi's side face, which was illuminated cold white by the sun. His eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and the lines from his forehead to the tip of his nose to his earlobes were covered with soft light.
The next moment he looked away, inexplicably thinking of the line in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer": The more beautiful a woman is, the more she deceives others.
"One hundred million is more than enough to buy you."
"Young Master Si lacks not only the slightest bit of legal knowledge, but this is prohibited by the criminal law."
"If you and I agree, can the criminal law handle it?"
"I do not want to."
Before Si Bo Nian could speak, the office door suddenly opened from the outside.
"Master Si."
Dai Yutong was carrying a four-story insulated food box, which looked very heavy. Lin Xiuchen wanted to help, but she insisted on carrying it herself. It was in great contrast with her slim figure.
Si Bo Nian frowned, glanced at Dai Yutong, and then asked Lin Xiuchen beside her, "What's going on?"
Lin Xiuchen said in her heart that I don't know either. Suddenly she received a call from the front desk, saying that a Miss Dai was looking for the CEO. She also said that there was no need to report, she would go up by herself.
The receptionist had obviously read the news and thought that Dai Yutong was the CEO's girlfriend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the courage and confidence to come to her door and even have a loving lunch, so she let her go.
Lin Xiuchen went down and it was too late to stop him, so he hurriedly chased him to the CEO's office. He hurriedly rushed but was still a step too late, and opened the door at the same time as Dai Yutong.
But as the president's assistant, he was negligent in his work before getting things done. He should admit his punishment and say, "I'm sorry, president, I didn't report it in time. It's my fault."
Dai Yutong is very good at winning over people's hearts. Why not try to please Lin Xiuchen just by placing cronies around Si Baonian?
"It's not Assistant Lin's fault. It's because I was too anxious. I used my privilege once. I promise I won't do it next time. I was worried that you were too busy and didn't have time to eat. So, I gave you something delicious."
As she spoke, she looked around the office decoration skillfully, "Your office is still energetic and has a sense of design. It's not like my dad, who has a bunch of so-called mahogany tables and chairs, which is so old-fashioned."
Si Bo Nian allowed her to move around freely in the office, which to outsiders seemed like pampering and special treatment for a would-be mistress.
Lin Xiuchen secretly glanced at Lu Enxi. It seemed that they were not suitable for each other standing here.
Lu Enxi enjoyed watching the fun, but Si Bainian was blind and couldn't tell the difference between green tea and black tea.
"Look at me, I'm just enjoying the superior view and forgetting about the real thing."
Dai Yutong turned around gracefully and changed the topic naturally. When she saw that there was untouched food on the table, she didn't pay much attention to it. She cleared the other half of the table and placed the food one by one. "I specifically asked Grandpa Si, he
You said you have a light taste and like to eat seafood. I made you lobster, clam soup, and vegetarian fried lily. These are snacks I made by myself. Grandpa Si said you like to eat almonds, and sprinkled a few on them.
layer."
I don’t know if Dai Yutong is a good cook or good at setting dishes, but at least the dishes on the table look pretty good. Lu Enxi asked herself that she couldn’t cook them even if she killed her.
Two pairs of chopsticks inlaid with ivory were placed across the bone plate. Dai Yutong looked like a new daughter-in-law waiting for her husband to dine, "Master Si, have a try."
Lu Enxi curled up the corners of her mouth in a small arc and turned to look out the window.
Si Bo Nian picked up his chopsticks and asked, "Did you do all this?"
There was a lot of appreciation and joy in his tone.
Lu Enxi laughed in his heart.
Dai Yutong nodded and said modestly, "My dad is a bit picky. He says he can't get used to the dishes cooked by the chef, but he likes the dishes I cook, so I'll learn some and see if they suit your taste. If you like it, I'll often give it to you in the future."
you do."
Si Bo Nian picked up a chopstick and tasted it, "It's rare for you to be born into a wealthy family and still wash your hands to make soup. Many rich ladies can't even cook a poached egg."
Lu Enxi didn't care about any other dish he was talking about, but he was talking about poached eggs.
Not long after they got married, in order to make Si Bo Nian happy, Lu Enxi went to the kitchen to cook over her own abilities. As a result, she tried several things and failed. Finally, she challenged the poached eggs, but both sides were black and caught fire in the pot.
Set off the smoke alarm.
Compared with Dai Yutong, she seems to be nothing.
Lu Enxi pursed her lips silently and said, "Whoever is looking down on, I will do one or two now!"
Dai Yutong was so praised that she said, "When I was young, my parents taught me and my eldest brother that no one can guarantee a lifetime of wealth, and we must be prepared to live a hard life. We do many things with our own hands, and I can also do it by hand.
I’ll embroider a flower pattern on your tie another day.”
A man's tie can only be touched by someone close to him. Dai Yutong was observing Si Bo Nian's attitude.
Si Boyian said, "Okay."
Dai Yutong suddenly felt happy, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"That's right," Si Boyian motioned to Lin Xiuchen, "Yu Tong specially cooked the dish. You are lucky today, come and try it."
Lin Xiuchen said in shock, "I..."
Si Boyian: "Didn't you have lunch too?"
The president issued an order, but Lin Xiuchen did not dare to disobey him. He smiled at Dai Yutong and said, "Miss Dai..."
Dai Yutong said generously, "Sit down, there are so many dishes that we can't even finish. Don't waste it, eat more."
Lin Xiuchen was like a patient with advanced hemorrhoids, sitting on pins and needles as he picked up the pair of chopsticks Si Bo Nian had used, "Thank you, Miss Dai, for being honored by the CEO. It's an honor for me."
"You have been with Mr. Si for many years. You are his right-hand man. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xiuchen smiled, "It should be."
Lu Enxi was alone there, knowing the two worlds clearly with them, and the word "Yu Tong" replayed in her mind. Oh, she was so careful. After three years of marriage, Si Bo Nian never called her Enxi.
Calling by first and last name.
The dining etiquette of the three of them was perfect. There was almost no sound of chewing and swallowing. The air molecules that had not had time to be purified were filled with the strong aroma of the food.
Si Bo Nian took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.
Dai Yutong saw how little he ate and asked cautiously, "Is it not to your taste?"
Si Boyian said, "I'm full."
The words are concise and concise, and there is no hint of happiness or displeasure.
Regardless of how inappropriate the atmosphere was, Lu Enxi stepped forward and said, "Master Si, there is something I need to tell you suddenly."
