Qin Shimei glanced at Ju-long and Ming Xi for a few seconds and switched her focus to the menu in front of her. The silent communication between the girls did not escape Auntie Zhi and Uncle Zhi's sharp eyes, for they also turned their attention to the couple who entered the restaurant.
Zhi Ruo leaned to Qin Shimei's ear, whispering, "Little Shimei, I have been thinking about this for a while since we saw them, but do you think they're the same couple that were making a hot scene in the elevator? I am one hundred percent sure it was them."
Qin Shimei had no choice but to get another glance at them. Ah! She regretted doing that because Ju-long was also staring at Qin Shimei! To block her face from embarrassment, she swiftly uses the long menu to hide her face while she leaned back to her friend. When Qin Shimei was about to say something, her menu got snatched away.
After her menu was snatched away from Auntie Zhi, General Zhi and Auntie Zhi saw Qin Shimei's mouth was half open and two inches away from Zhi Ruo's ear. Qin Shimei closed her mouth and retracted her body as well as her friend, who also did the same. Both of them were giving General Zhi and Auntie Zhi an innocent smile.
Auntie Zhi leaned back on her chair, and her arms crossed over her chest with eyebrows raised, "So... Would you young ladies kindly share what you were discussing? Is there something that we need to know?"
Qin Shimei: "..."
Zhi Ruo: "..."
General Zhi supported his wife and gave Qin Shimei and Zhi Ruo an evil smile, "Ah... It has been a while since we went camping. I heard that camping will help discipline the child from being defiant or rebellious. Hehehe."
Shivers ran down their back just thing thinking about "camping". It was more like boot camp! Who wants to do six hundred reps of the frog jumping uphill, one thousand sets of push-ups, one hundred miles of running, and another four thousand sets of squatting with sit-ups, and climbing a mountain with no ropes, ah!
Auntie Zhi tapped the table to get Zhi Ruo and Qin Shimei's attention. "Is it something to do with the Wang family's only heir and the Ming Xi girl? Don't try to hide things from us, I saw your action and expression just now."
Both of the girls looked at each other. With both eyes showing understanding, Zhi Ruo was the first one to speak up, "Okay fine. You give me no choice."
Zhi Ruo made eye contact with her parents and in a straight and indifferent face bluntly said, "We saw those two couples doing base three in an elevator. Their action contaminated Qin Shimei's eyes with their disease. The woman even had the balls to start a fight with us on our way over here because we looked way better than her! Little Shimei do you want to add anything else?" She turned to Shimei, as if wanting to let her proceed the rest of the story.
Qin Shimei finishes the rest with a stoic face, "That woman called me a slut because I accidentally bumped her boyfriend's arm, but don't worry I call her a whore back." Qin Shimei one third of the story. It didn't matter as long as what was said is the truth, right?
General Zhi: "..."
Auntie Zhi: "..."
Auntie Zhi covered her mouth with a fist. "Ahem! Well, it seems you girls met Ju-long, the heir of Wang family and Ming Xi, a model from a big entertainment company, Dream Talent. I did not know they were together?"
Qin Shimei did not look surprised, her Uncle and Auntie Zhi is also well known in C-City. "So, Ā Yí Zhi knows them?"
Auntie Zhi has her chin up, "Of course! Ju-long's fuqin is your Shūshu Zhi's best friend since middle school. My close biǎojiě, Yu Yan, is the wife of the chairmen of Dream Talent, Feng Mian. You haven't had the chance to meet them because of how busy they are, and even traveling around the world! But that does not stop Yu Yan and me calling each other for juicy gossip inside the entertainment company. Oh! That reminds me, Mei'er, isn't your jiejie also a model in Dream Talent as well? If I remember correctly, Ming Xi and Qin Bai are well-known rivals in the company." The woman sighed at the thought. "There's so much drama between those two."
Qin Shimei's eyes narrowed, Does that Ming Xi know I am Qin Bai's sister? I don't recall ever meeting her before.
Qin Shimei snapped out of her thoughts once a waiter came and asked for their orders. Just thinking about food made Qin Shimei's mouth water. She was never like this, but for the past month, she has been craving for food-including weird ones, too. Plus, she has been eating a lot lately as well. Due to this fact, Qin Shimei joined a cooking class and found many recipes online to cook. Yup! She became a food porn and ended up being Zhi Ruo's personal grand-master chef, and roommate! Being her best friend really did have perks!
Qin Shimei ordered steak ravioli, two filet minion steaks with ravioli in creamy alfredo sauce, topped with french fried onions and the sides with some smoked asparagus to finish off the dish.
Zhi Ruo got the pasta with pesto cream sauce, fettuccine noodles mixed in the pesto cream sauce and finished with slices of roasted chicken breast.
Auntie Zhi went ahead and got the fettuccine seared shrimp and scallops, fettuccine noodles mixed in the chef's special sauce with seared shrimp and sliced mushrooms with cut up roasted tomatoes, as the seared scallops were decorated around the fettuccine and ended off with chopped parsley.
And for General Zhi, he ordered the Chateaubriand Rossini, tenderloin filet marinated with season salt and coated with chopped up parsley stir-fried in olive oil, and placed on top of a sweet and tangy dark sauce.
Both of the girls glanced at each other with excitement. The food here was great!
