Quite awkward

The winter evening is quiet and lonely, and the sky gradually darkens.

The round table in the Lotus Seat 1001 Villa Restaurant was filled with ten dishes, each of which was fresh, fragrant and delicious.

Mu Chenan had just finished a video conference. He leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, waiting for Mu Yanqing to come back for dinner.

The door was half open, and there were footsteps and voices outside.

"Yu Huai, you don't have to be polite. Today is just a simple dinner." Mu Yanqing spoke humbly and pushed the door open enthusiastically, letting the two in.

Not long ago, Jiang Yuhuai received a call from Qi Yu. When he heard that her elder brother wanted to meet him, he quickly asked someone to send a box of precious tea and a can of Moutai liquor, showing all the necessary etiquette.

Qi Yu informed him in advance that her elder brother mistakenly thought that the two were in a serious relationship and had the potential to develop into a couple, so he asked him to help cooperate with the performance.

Jiang Yuhuai didn't find this difficult at all. He was also curious about who was backing Qi Yu. The losses caused by the program's suspension were borne solely by that person, which clearly showed his considerable financial resources.

Jiang Yuhuai walked into the room and glanced at the luxurious environment inside. He smiled generously: "Brother, it's not much, just a little gift from you."

Mu Chenan in the room heard an unfamiliar male voice, suddenly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look towards the entrance.

Qi Yu had a plain face and a sickly expression. She still hugged herself to keep warm and stood timidly by the wall. She didn't say a word, but just looked at the other two men quietly.

One is his elder brother.

And another.

He had some impression of him. He was the male partner who recorded the show with Qi Yu.

Mu Chenan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly looked a little irritated and impatient.

It would be fine if big brother brought Qi Yu here, but why did he bring a stranger here?

The eldest brother is very casual and treats this place as his own home.

The three of them walked into the living room, and Mu Yanqing introduced them to each other: "Chen An, this is Yu Huai, A Yu's friend."

"Yu Huai, he is A Yu's second brother and also the sponsor of your show."

Jiang Yuhuai gradually gained some understanding of the relationship between the people in front of him.

The Mu family is one of the richest families in Linjiang, so they were surprised that Qi Yu had such a deep background.

He nodded towards Mu Chenan: "Hello, Mr. Mu."

Mu Chenan's unusually cold aura was in stark contrast to Mu Yanqing's enthusiasm, but he was not so shameless as to follow Qi Yu in calling him second brother.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chenan's expression showed a hint of disdain. He nodded perfunctorily and walked quickly to the restaurant alone.

Jiang Yuhuai smiled awkwardly twice and turned his head to look.

Mu Yanqing was lowering his head to persuade Qi Yu to take off her heavy down jacket. There was sufficient heating in the room, so she would not sweat again and aggravate the symptoms of her cold.

Neither of them noticed the smoke that inexplicably rose on the other side.

The four of them sat down in the restaurant and started eating.

In the middle of the conversation, Mu Yanqing casually asked a few questions, some about education and some about work.

Jiang Yuhuai answered the questions one by one with confidence and generosity.

“I currently run my own restaurant and work as a chef.”

Mu Chen settled down, shook his head, and laughed silently.

In order to escape from life, a highly educated person quits his job to become a chef. What kind of future can this have?

Qi Yu has a sensitive personality.

She noticed Mu Chenan's arrogant attitude and didn't want to embarrass Jiang Yuhuai, so she said, "Brother, before the show, I went to Boss Jiang's restaurant for dinner. Actually, we've known each other for a long time. He's a good cook and the dishes he makes are very much to my taste. I even had two bowls of rice that day."

Mu Yanqing smiled and said, "That's good. I want you to eat more. Ah Yu looks better when she's a little fatter."

Qi Yu's nose felt sour, and she pursed her lips and nodded with emotion.

She should be sensible and obedient and not make him worry about her.

"Brother, just live your life well in the United States. Don't worry about me. I've moved to North City now. I'm very happy with friends like Xiang Wei and Boss Jiang around me."

Jiang Yuhuai tilted his head to look at her, with deep affection in his heart, and expressed his loyalty.

"Brother, whether or not Qi Yu and I can be together through this show, I will always take good care of her."

Qi Yu was shy at the right time.

Suddenly, there was a ding sound, and Mu Chenan put down his chopsticks. He raised his eyes indifferently and happened to meet Qi Yu's gaze.

His black eyes were cold and weary, and it was difficult to discern the clear or unclear emotions.

But only she understood the arrogance and contempt in his eyes.

He seemed to be mocking her silently, saying that she had such bad taste.

Qi Yu replied in his heart, it’s none of your business.

She looked away and continued talking calmly at the dinner table.

"Brother, Boss Jiang knows I like spicy food, so he specially learned a few Linjiang dishes for me. It's a pity that I suddenly caught a cold and didn't have time to try them."

Mu Yanqing replied: "Yu Huai is thoughtful. Ayu has an advantage, that is, she is not picky about food. She is easy to raise."

These words sound like a trust.

Mu Chenan couldn't stand it anymore, he propped himself up on the table and went back to his room.

Big brother and Qi Yu have really poor taste.

If you want to choose, you have to choose a good man, not a lecher whose eyes light up when he sees a woman.

Jiang Yuhuai has narrow eyes and keeps glancing at Qi Yu through his lenses, but he is misunderstood as being affectionate, which is really not good.

As he spoke, his arm naturally rested on the back of Qi Yu's chair. This gesture seemed to be showing off, and more like he treated her as his own property.

Whether it was possessiveness or asserting sovereignty in front of her brother, this behavior was wrong.

His conversation is average, his head is empty, and the topics always revolve around cooking. He doesn't have much knowledge.
