I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 826 - 358: Dundun’s Revenge! Aunt, You’d Better Live on Another Planet!
Is the outsider actually myself?
Chen Yan was just about to speak when Ren Chongmo said:
"Sit down, don’t just stand there. People who don’t know might think we’re punishing you two."
The two sat down mechanically.
Now it’s Chen Yan’s turn to lose control.
She originally brought Ren Jie in to show off a little and stop her parents from nagging about marriage. Unexpectedly, she ended up meeting Ren Jie’s parents first.
"Uncle, Auntie, Professor Ren and Professor Tian are Ren Jie’s parents. They’re here talking with my sister Yan."
Chen Yuejin and Shen Guofang looked surprised.
They had just seen Yan bringing in a handsome young man, and didn’t expect his parents to be here too.
Shen Guofu laughed heartily:
"Double happiness, double happiness! Brother-in-law, you and my sister should go and have a look. Since everyone’s here, don’t keep it hidden. Both sides should sit down and chat first."
Chen Yuejin hesitated:
"Isn’t this a bit too fast? Haven’t even said a word to the young man and we’re already moving to meet both sets of parents."
Shen Guofang stood up and said:
"I need to go and check. Intellectuals have many rules, don’t think our daughter is reckless and rude. It’s rare to have such a match, we can’t let it fall apart..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuejin held his wine glass and drank it all in one go:
"I’m going too!"
The couple walked over together.
A housewarming dinner turned into an engagement party.
Grandma Shen wiped her mouth with a paper napkin and instructed:
"Guofu, isn’t our Lin Xu quite familiar with Mr. Lishan? Ask Mr. Lishan to help arrange this match right away; both sides are strangers and we need a mediator."
"Alright, alright!"
Shen Guofu stood up and went to find Geng Lishan.
This kind of mediation is quite simple, just to set the mood during the meeting of both sets of parents, to prevent awkwardness due to unfamiliarity.
After instructing Shen Guofu, Grandma Shen then said to Han Shuzhen:
"Shuzhen, have Lin Xu quickly free up a private room. It’s too messy here for both sets of parents to talk, let them switch to a different place so we don’t interrupt everyone’s meal."
Then she looked at Han Jitong:
"Aren’t you familiar with Professor Ren, in-law? Could you accompany them? Their parents are at our home turf, we shouldn’t neglect them."
Han Jitong stood up and said:
"Alright, sister-in-law, I’m going right away."
Grandma Han reminded him:
"Don’t drink too much alcohol, don’t show off in front of your patients."
"Won’t, won’t, rest assured."
Before long, the dizzy Chen Yan, along with the equally dizzy Ren Jie, were taken to a newly freed private room.
Originally, it was supposed to be just a meal together.
Why is everything getting out of control?
At the kitchen door, Lin Xu listened to Shu Yun’s report, his face full of astonishment:
"Wow, just in the time it took to prepare braised fish head, so much has happened! Last time I missed Yan pretending to be a chef, now I’ve missed another spectacular scene."
"Haha, you didn’t see it, but the expression changes of Mr. Chen from excitement to embarrassment to confusion were particularly remarkable."
Shu Yun laughed happily, never having expected Mr. Chen’s romantic encounter to come so swiftly and dramatically.
Not only she was happy, but Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing, and others had just witnessed it all while enjoying the show.
They enjoyed it so much that even the delicious braised fish tasted like watermelon.
"Looks like Mr. Chen is getting famous now. She originally brought her newly confessed boyfriend just to have a meal, but the situation developed beyond her control."
Lin Xu chuckled, and instructed Wei Qian on the side:
"Make sure the dishes in the private room are plentiful, and add a stir-fry noodle as well."
Others have somewhat snacked already, but Officer Ren must not have eaten anything yet. From crashing a meal to meeting both sets of parents, under such circumstances, he probably needs to eat something to calm down.
After serving the fish head, Lin Xu removed his apron and went to the upstairs banquet hall to get some food, while sampling the spectacle.
"Xuba you didn’t see it, Yan Bao’s expression changes were too spectacular. She was previously claiming to be sisters with Professor Tian, but once her identity was revealed, she looked down like a shy little wife, just twiddling the hem of her clothes."
Lin Xu served himself a bowl of fish head and was eating when Shen Baobao, hugging Dundun, started embellishing the story.
Chen Meijuan said:
"Well, now all the pressure is on Yuanyuan’s side... Lin Xu, did you really remove all the bones from this fish head?"
"Yes, it’s all cleaned out, you can eat it without worry, I promise there are no bones."
Lin Xu ate pretty much, and with his wine glass, he toasted at each table. But when he reached his classmates’ table, he was held back.
He sat down with them and had several more cups.
Afraid that Shu Yun might swap his drink for Sprite again, Sun Minghao deliberately got a new wine glass, pouring each glass himself, making Lin Xu drink several solid cups of liquor.
In the downstairs private room, the parents, unfamiliar with each other, exchanged pleasantries.
Fortunately, with Geng Lishan, Han Jitong, and Professor Xu there, the scene wasn’t too cold.
At the place by the door, Chen Yan sat with her head down, wanting to eat the food on the table but worried her future in-laws might think she was rude. After all, the adults haven’t started eating, and it wouldn’t be proper for the kids to eat first.
Ren Jie had it worse. From the morning flight till now, he hadn’t eaten a thing, and his arm injury hurt slightly due to the tugging and pulling just now.
If he had known, he would have grabbed a pancake to hold him over!
Thinking of pancakes, his mind inadvertently flashed to the moment he first met Chen Yan.
At that time, she wore a chef hat and outfit, looking clever and quirky, immediately seeing through his disguise.
Geng Lishan noticed the discomfort of the young couple and laughed:
"Why don’t we let Yan and Jie go out and take a walk? Jie’s just returned from a business trip, he must have a lot to talk about with Yan."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan and Ren Jie felt like they’d been pardoned and stood up to leave.
As Ren Jie got up, Tian Qinglan asked:
"Jie, what’s wrong with your arm? I noticed at the banquet hall your arm swinging wasn’t quite right? Did you get hurt on this trip?"
"No, no, just got jostled a bit when I came in."
They came out of the private room and happened to run into Xiao Dong, who was coming by with fried noodles, Chen Yan asked:
"Are these for our private room?"
"Yes, the boss specifically requested it."
"Then let me have it..."
Chen Yan took it and led Ren Jie to the second floor, found a secluded booth, sat down, and placed the noodles in front of Ren Jie:
"You must be starving, right? Eat up."
She then waved to a nearby waiter:
"Bring us a beef-stuffed cake, a sour spicy tripe soup, and a small bowl of tomato egg noodles for me."
"Alright, Mr. Chen."
Mr. Chen?
Ren Jie finally figured it out. Previously, he found it odd whenever the waiter called Mr. Chen, now he realized it wasn’t because they weren’t used to calling her head chef, but rather this lady chef was actually Mr. Chen.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
The waiter even brought a plate of refreshing small pickles.
As Ren Jie ate heartily, Chen Yan regained her authoritative presence:
"So tell me, what’s with your arm? I just touched it secretly, it seems like there’s some bandage wrapped inside your left arm, did you get hurt?"
Ren Jie originally wanted to keep it under wraps, but he felt that lying between couples isn’t a good thing, so he nodded:
"A bullet went through the flesh, didn’t hit the bone, should recover after a period of rest, won’t stop me from doing housework, don’t worry."
Chen Yan kicked him under the table:
"We have a nanny at home, you don’t need to do anything. After you finish eating, I’ll take you to Jishuitan or 301, get you checked again, make sure there are no lasting effects."
Ren Jie enjoyed this close intimacy, he curiously asked:
"Can we even get a registration this time?"
"Registration? Register for what?"
Chen Yan calmly savored her tomato egg noodles:
"We’ll just go directly to the international department, no need for registration, we can get checked at any time."
Ren Jie: "..."
Why do I feel like I’m being kept by a wealthy woman?
