Chapter 167 - Meeting An Old Friend (2/2)

Before setting off, Xu Le looked around and said, “Why don’t I see Lu Yuxi?”

“Oh, she stays beside me to me. Perhaps she went out because she had something on in the morning.” After Shen Hui explained, she added, “I invited a friend from the industry to meet at 4pm. It’s getting late. Let’s go.”

Xu Le sat in the car with Xu Zhexian beside him. He sized up his father from the corner of his eye and felt a little awkward.

Fortunately, Xu Tian was sitting beside him. She said softly, “Brother, when is your match?”

“Two days later.”

“Oh, then what delicious food are you going to cook?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. I’ll see when the time comes.”

Xu Tian tilted her head and asked in confusion, “Then will Brother win after the competition?”

Xu Le smiled and said, “I’m not sure.”

The two of them were chatting when Shen Hui, who was driving in the front seat, heard them. She immediately said unhappily, “Tiantian, don’t talk nonsense. Your brother is so great at such a young age. He will definitely win!”

She took winning and losing very seriously. This made Xu Zhexian push up his glasses. Half of his face was hidden in the dark, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

“By the way, I bumped into the producer’s brother this morning. The two of them look like twins. They really look alike!”

Along the way, Shen Hui rambled on about many things. When she mentioned the dishes that Xu Tian usually liked, she said three or four of them in a row, “I remember the blanched broccoli, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, brown rice, and kiwi mixed with yogurt…”

“Mom,” Xu Tian said softly, “I’m allergic to these.”

Xu Tian was allergic to kiwis and had even been hospitalized. Shen Hui had actually forgotten about that.

She choked and sighed. “Then what do you like to eat? Mummy will get someone to prepare it in advance.”

Xu Tian smiled happily at Xu Le and said, “I want to eat Brother’s food. Everything he makes is delicious.”

Shen Hui and Xu Zhexian looked at each other in the rearview mirror. They knew that they had neglected their daughter when they went to a foreign country to pursue their dreams and work. However, they did not expect that… they had missed so much.

There was silence in the car for a moment. Half an hour later, it stopped in front of a Western restaurant.

It was not the most famous shop, but it was definitely the most difficult to book. It could only be booked through a friend’s recommendation and could not be booked directly. It immediately raised the customers’ expectations to the maximum.

At the same time, the price was astonishing.

The head chef was a green-eyed foreigner. When he saw Shen Hui, he happily came up to hug her and said a lot of welcoming words.

Xu Tian asked curiously, “Brother, why did they call each other ‘stupid pig’ when they meet? Why are they scolding each other?”

“Oh.” Xu Le held back his laughter and lowered his head to explain. “Bonjour means ‘hello’. It’s just a greeting.”

After taking a seat, the waiter served a golden soup with a white thing that absorbed the soup.

Xu Le poked it with his fork and realized that it was a radish.

After taking a bite, although the soup was fresh, it was sticky and indescribable. He could not help but frown and feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked up and said, “Is it Turtle Soup?”

“Yes.” The head chef’s eyes lit up. He looked at him lovingly, raised his thumb, and said in Chinese with an accent, “Impressive!”

After the next dish was served, Xu Le had a complicated expression.
