Chapter 525: No One Pays Attention to Her
Li Duidui listened as if she was trying to squeeze out her own mommy, and her pretty little face imdiately turned sour. She pursed her lips, unwilling to even acknowledge her.
Li Shengxiao had even less intention to pay her any mind, serving Rong Yan a piece of her favorite dish as if the buzzing sound of her talking was no more than a mosquito’s whine.
Even Lin Zhiya could see through her scheming and didn’t want to chi in.
Cui Jiangjing watched her coldly, listening to Shen Siyuan transition from talking about studying abroad to the scenery of Mo Nuoge, and asked with a light smile, “I rember you all used to like the retirent work of Mo Nuoge’s national treasure artist. When I was studying abroad, I even paid a visit to the artist’s forr ho. The artist’s granddaughter ntioned that next ti she could let bring friends to see the original work. When do you all have the ti, maybe we can go see it together?”
Seeing that she wasn’t getting the hint and still trying to edge Rong Yan out, Cui Jiangjing said indifferently, “I’m not interested. Those are matters of many years ago. We have all grown up. Your brother, and all of us, have long since forgotten about those old tis. You don’t need to rember them so clearly, it’s aningless!”
His last word, “aningless,” was clearly loaded, leaving Shen Siyuan embarrassingly unable to save face…
“Did I say sothing I shouldn’t have? It seems like ever since just now, I’ve been the only one talking nonstop…” She caught on quickly and imdiately smoothed over the atmosphere while maintaining her composure and grace.
Lin Zhiya didn’t want to embarrass her further, so at this mont, she added, “It’s not that you said anything wrong, it’s just that what you’re talking about is from a long ti ago. Jiangjing and the others are a few years older than you, they might have already forgotten about those things.”
She spoke more tactfully than Cui Jiangjing, but the ssage was the sa, signaling her not to bring up the past anymore.
Shen Siyuan was sowhat embarrassed before, but after Lin Zhiya finished speaking, she was truly mortified. “I just thought Shengxiao and the others might be interested. I haven’t seen them in such a long ti, and suddenly seeing them, I couldn’t help reminiscing about the tis we played together as kids.”
“Being a kid is one thing, but growing up is another. After all, they have grown up and are busy with work, while you have just finished your studies. It’s very normal that your social circles might not align,” Lin Zhiya adroitly turned the conversation away from childhood mories, and smilingly addressed everyone at the table, “Alright, stop getting caught up in conversations. Try our cooking. Didn’t we say earlier that you’d guess which dish was made by and which by Yan?”
Cui Jiangjing imdiately burst into a laid-back laugh and picked up the conversation, “Mrs. Lin hasn’t even said what the reward is for guessing right. Just guessing isn’t much fun.”
Lin Zhiya playfully glared at him, yet her eyes and brows radiated with the warmth of an elder, “What reward do you want? Isn’t it reward enough that I serve you delicious food?”
“I want…” Cui Jiangjing stole a glance at the tall and handso man, shalessly leaning over and saying, “Xiao, I rember Li Group is looking to launch a new project in Krea. Why not plan to include a hospital in your project?”
This was absolutely a huge demand, just a small ga, and he was asking for a reward in the billions!
Li Shengxiao raised his head, his dark hawk-like eyes fell on him, and his thin lips barely touched as he said, “As long as you can guess correctly, a hospital can be included!”
