Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xi Wan arrived, Mrs. Tang was in the pavilion and she was laughing and eating cold noodles with the others who had already arrived.
When Mrs. Tang saw Xi Wan, she immediately waved at her in surprise. “Mrs.
Mrs. Tang’s enthusiastic shout attracted the attention of the others in the pavilion.
When Xi Wan walked into the pavilion, she realized that the people here were not only the familiar faces she had seen at the banquet before, but there was also Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Shi, whom she had met at the mall before. After looking at their extremely similar appearances, Xi Wan inexplicably felt that the two of them were mother and daughter. Even if they were not, they might be related by blood.
“System, what is the relationship between these two people?” Xi Wan asked the system.
The system flipped through the relationship list and sighed at her accurate intuition: [Host, your intuition is really accurate. Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Shi are indeed mother and daughter.]
Xi Wan’s lips curved into a smile. “As the saying goes, people with the same traits belong together.”
[oh, by the way, Cheng Shi’s father is also here at the villa. It can be said that the whole family is targeting you, right? I’m a little excited!] The system said as it watched the show.
When the others saw Xi Wan coming over, they immediately greeted her warmly.
“Mrs. Su, you’re here. Come and sit down!”
“The journey must have been exhausting. Mrs. Su, have a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat first.
“I thought Mrs. Tang only invited us here today. I didn’t expect Mrs. Tang to be so amazing to be able to invite you here, Mrs. Su!”
“Mrs. Su, you look really good in this outfit. I think this looks like the latest season from M brand, right?”
The few ladies that Xi Wan was familiar with eagerly hoped that she could sit beside them and started praising her one after another.
Mrs. Tang teased, “Look at all of your flattering expressions. Mrs. Su is my distinguished guest. None of you are allowed to snatch her from me!”
Mrs. Tang patted the empty seat beside her and said to Xi Wan, “Come and sit here. It’s the coolest here next to the water curtain!”
“Aunt Tang, you’re so biased. I said I wanted to sit there but you refused no matter what it was!” Cheng Shi seized the opportunity to attract hatred toward Xi Wan. “So, it turns out that you specially left it empty for Mrs. Su. Speaking of which, I reckon that none of us present can compare to Mrs. Su’s status!”
Xi Wan knew Cheng Shi’s intentions, so she naturally wouldn’t let her successfully draw hatred toward her.
Xi Wan smiled appropriately and smiled obediently at everyone. “Miss Cheng, what are you talking about? It’s clearly because all the ladies can see that I’m their junior, so they’re carrying on the idea of elders caring for their juniors and that’s why they specially reserved this seat for me!”
Xi Wan changed the topic. “If Mrs. Tang doesn’t want Miss Cheng to sit in that position, it should be because Miss Cheng is a little older than me. As elders, the ladies are kind enough to care for the younger generation. But how did it end up becoming a bad intention in Miss Cheng’s opinion?”
Everyone present were all witty and experienced so they naturally understood Cheng Shi’s intentions as soon as she spoke up. The reason why they did not say anything was because they wanted to see how Xi Wan would respond.
Xi Wan’s response was also unexpected. They only knew that Xi Wan would definitely refute Cheng Shi but they didn’t expect Xi Wan to accuse Cheng Shi of having bad intentions at the same time. The key was that Cheng Shi had to accept this accusation even if she did not want to!
Cheng Shi did not expect Xi Wan’s counterattack to be so easy. She looked around quietly and saw that the ladies were already dissatisfied with her. She could only suffer this loss silently for the time being and plan to find a chance to turn the tables around next time.
Xi Wan slowly sat down when she saw Cheng Shi shut up.
There was a bowl of cold noodles on the table in front of Xi Wan. One could tell that it had just been served with just one glance. There were still unmelted ice cubes on the surface of the noodles and there was still a lot of frost on the outside of the bowl.
“The cold noodles in this villa are superb. Mrs. Su. Try it.”
Xi Wan picked up her fork and took a bite of the noodles, with Mrs. Tang’s introduction. Mrs. Tang was right. The noodles were indeed delicious.
The noodles were very chewy. After the noodles were mixed well, the seasoning in the soup covered the noodles evenly. One could feel the coolness as soon as one ate it.
The shredded cucumber and carrot in the bowl were sweet, crisp, and refreshing, and when paired with the chewy noodles, it was undoubtedly the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds in the hot summer..
