C427 Calm as It Seemed
These seemingly boring and useless etiquette, in the eyes of Chi Shaojun and Ou Ney's family members, was like the badge on a Knight's chest. It was an honor that could not be ignored.
Zhu Zhu carefully closed her legs and sat in front of Ou Ney. She elegantly spread the napkin on her knees and then raised her head.
Zhu Zhu saw Ye Yuni, Ann Qianxi, and Chi Shaojun.
Yes, she automatically ignored Wei Nan, who was sitting in the middle of the group. She automatically ignored him. If she didn't, her expression wouldn't be so calm.
Zhu Zhu saw them nod gracefully. She was like a graceful swan on a calm lake, looking for smoke between her brows. One step forward, one step backward, one step forward. The coldness in her eyes was faintly discernible.
Any man sitting next to her would be unable to take his eyes off of her. It was as if his soul had left his body just to watch Zhu Zhu.
Ann Qianxi's heart felt as if it was being scratched.
Afterwards, she turned her head and no longer looked at Ann Qianxi and the others.
Zhu Zhu was a Pandora's box. Ann Qianxi had concluded this long ago, you don't know what would be inside when she opened it.
It could be a rare treasure or it could be a pile of dry chocolate shit.
It smells good, but it will make you sick.
When you see a lump of shit, whether it's chocolate or Chanel, it doesn't change the fact that it's a lump of shit.
Ann Qianxi admits that her metaphor is impolite and has a strong subjective-belittling tone.
She admitted that when she saw Zhu Zhu eating with Ou Ney, Ann Qianxi wasn't feeling well.
And Zhu Zhu just caused Ann Qianxi's world view and brain to be bulldozed.
Ann Qianxi's residual rationality was waving its flag and shouting in the grassland of the Wailing Hong Ye. However, in reality, she had underestimated the destructive power Zhu Zhu had given her.
An Qian wanted to look outside the door. Seeing Ye Jingrui's shadow, she greeted Ou Ney and nodded politely. Zhu Zhu also nodded to them politely.
As a result, they sat down together.
Just as Ann Qianxi had described in the beginning, what kind of strange combination was this?
It was as if there were a hundred Jia Wanrou in a ballet dance dress flipping their heads in front of Ann Qianxi.
Ann Qianxi's gaze was fixed on Ou Ney, his face was like the snow on the roof, there was a fierce look in his pale white face, Ye Jingrui looked like a modern version of the young god of death, there was no need to mention her limitless mask, she was extremely flirtatious.
This group of snow and ice nobles were like those rich kids in the fairy tale books or the English TV dramas. They all had their own ways of doing things, and were far removed from the rest of the nobles.
Ann Qianxi couldn't eat as if nothing had happened like Ye Yuni and the others. Unfortunately, with the steak in front of her, that small square piece of steak was as expensive as two Apple phones.
Ann Qianxi didn't seem to be a person who was attracted to delicacies. She seemed to be oblivious to them. She was like a person suffering from anorexia as she dryly chewed the small, exquisite steak in front of her.
Since ancient times, from the Vatican's breakfast to the final dinner, as well as the Hongmen Banquet, the stories of several of the more important banquets were recorded in the annals of history.
If possible, Ann Qianxi thought, this meal should also be included in the collection of stories, called "the dinner at the Western Restaurant."
When Ou Ney was drinking water, he raised his head and saw Jia Wanrou first. He probably thought he was hallucinating. Then, Chi Shaojun raised his hand and waved at Wu Tie.
Under Ye Yuni's instructions, Ann Qianxi stood up and walked towards Ou Ney.
A few steps away is enough to know what a lurch is like, and what it means to take your life.
For example, the final step to the scaffold, the seven steps to the coronation of the crown, and the crimson carpet that led to the wedding hall.
With the short distance between them, Ann Qianxi was constantly adjusting her state of mind. Ou Ney and Ye Jingrui pulled up their chairs at the same time and stood up. Their eyes were looking at Ann Qianxi's group of people as they walked over.
With her back facing Ann Qianxi and the others, Zhu Zhu didn't move. After folding the napkins on her knees and putting them away, she elegantly turned around and greeted Ann Qianxi and the others.
It was the kind of red tape that Ann Qianxi had scrolled through so many times in her life that the Rules for the Use of Western Dinner and the Etiquette for Western Dining failed to match.
Ann Qianxi had spent many nights trying to figure out how to use the knife and fork in front of every meal. What did it mean for the napkins to be stacked counterclockwise... He just couldn't figure out the rules.
But now, it had all been perfectly interpreted by Zhu Zhu.
A small envious flame rose from the bottom of her heart. A dark blue flame rose from the bottom of her heart, quietly burning like a hot soldering iron in her chest.
Ye Yuni and the others walked over to Ou Ney and greeted him gracefully. Ann Qianxi, on the other hand, did not have the face of a computer with Ye Yuni. That was because her cultivation experience was lacking.
It was Ann Qianxi's limit to maintain her calm and smile.
Zhu Zhu remained calm and tranquil. Ann Qianxi believed that in ten years, no, in less than ten years, Zhu Zhu's face would become a computer like Ye Yuni's.
Ou Ney could hear that Jia Wanrou wanted a bottle of red wine to be brought to Ann Qianxi's table when she moved. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back — it was as if she smashed a huge hole in the ice shell at the critical point.
Ann Qianxi didn't hold back and blurted out without hesitation, "Ou Ney, let me do it. This is the first time Zhu Zhu has come to such a high-class restaurant. She shouldn't be familiar with the interior environment. It's better if I come."
Ann Qianxi didn't know why she would say something like that at that moment. It might have been like a cat whose fur had suddenly stood up.
She wanted to prove, to try to get rid of this terrible feeling, that she was carefully stretching her coat, and she hated herself for going out today in a baggy coat.
It made her look like an old lady selling chaos at a stall. Ou Ney slightly pursed his lips and said in a sharp straight line, "No need, let Zhu Zhu go. She's the one who set the location today."
Ou Ney said lightly without even looking at Ann Qianxi.
Zhu Zhu's expression was somewhat embarrassed as she passed something on to Ann Qianxi without batting an eyelid.
At this moment, Ann Qianxi's urge to prove herself was overflowing with hysteria, leaving nothing behind.
She once again proven herself, or to be more accurate, insulted herself again, "No need, Ou Ney. Before I came, I looked up a lot of information about this restaurant, and we work together, so I understand more about it. This kind of high class place, let Zhu Zhu drive it, it's too difficult for her."
Zhu Zhu looked at Ann Qianxi with a trace of pity.
Ou Ney turned around from his conversation with Ye Yuni. His words were like a glass and a signboard, without any meaning or emotion.
"No need, Ann Qianxi. This is Zhu Zhu's first choice. Zhu Zhu is more familiar with this place than me, and it wasn't easy for you to get together with your friends. Let Zhu Zhu go."
Zhu Zhu turned around and walked straight towards the stage. Her back looked a little awkward and she didn't look like she was going to face Ann Qianxi's current awkward situation.
Zhu Zhu's curvy figure and noble and smooth hair were both like a pair of artificial hands stroking Ann Qianxi. "You idiot."
Ann Qianxi smiled and said that she had to go to the washroom. She could not cry, tears were a matter of honor and disgrace, and she could not simply cry.
That was her final dignity, the flag of her final dignity. It fluttered in the battlefield filled with smoke, representing the glory of the past, and the shame of that moment.
A long time later, when Ann Qianxi told her story to another friend, she said frankly that she was a self-conscious and jealous clown.
In fact, since Ann Qianxi joined Ye Yuni's life, she began to envy Ye Yuni's life, envy Ye Yuni more money than her. She looked at Zhu Zhu with sympathy before commanding Jia Wanrou. Actually, she was the clown.
Until the evening when they drove back.
