Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1449 An Encounter at a Western Restaurant

When the waiter noticed that the two women following Xu Xiuwen were twins, he actually began to envy Xu Xiuwen.

Winning over a few beautiful women with money isn't a real skill.

However, being able to acquire a pair of twins at the same time is clearly not something that can be done simply by having money.

The waiter looked Xu Xiuwen up and down and couldn't help but think: Can someone with such a small frame really handle this? It would be better to let him do it.

The waiter was a foreigner. Although he wasn't very tall, the restaurant had requirements for the image and demeanor of its employees, and he himself had a habit of working out, so he was quite fit.

As for Xu Xiuwen...

He was certainly not a greyhound.

Xu Xiuwen is a strong and muscular man.

Dressed to be thin, undressed with meat.

If they both took off their outer clothes, revealing their muscle definition underneath.

Xu Xiuwen might not necessarily lose to the male waiter.

However, his face is too small, and his jawline is so sharp it looks like it was carved with a knife, giving him a thin appearance.

In contrast, the waitress's cheeks were slightly puffy, making her face appear round and large.

Back to the topic.

The male waiter's eyes almost turned red when he saw the twins.

He tried several times to tell the girls in front of Xu Xiuwen that he had brought other girls here to eat just yesterday.

But in the end I endured it.

the reason is simple.

In 2007, when average wages were very low, eating Western food was not a common occurrence.

In particular, the Western restaurant he was in was considered to be of a relatively high standard.

A meal here easily costs over a thousand.

The cost of one meal is equivalent to many people's monthly salary.

Therefore, the customers who come to this Western restaurant are almost never from ordinary working-class families; most of them are people from work units or from well-off families.

If he tells the two women in person that Xu Xiuwen brought another woman to eat Western food yesterday.

Regardless of whether he will gain the gratitude of the two women.

He was bound to offend Xu Xiuwen.

Even if Xu Xiuwen had no background and was just an ordinary person.

He could also lose his job because of Hsu Hsiu-wen's complaint.

Because his actions absolutely violated the rules set by the store manager.

Adults are always inclined to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and are good at protecting themselves.

The male waiter pretended to know nothing, with a warm smile on his face, and led the three to their seats.

This is a window seat.

Guests sitting here can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Shuwan sat opposite Xu Xiuwen, while Chen Shumi sat between the two.

Chen Shumi's position allowed her to see the outside scene clearly, even more clearly than Xu Xiuwen and Chen Shuwan.

The waiter promptly handed over three menus.

The menu is still in English.

In 2007, most Western restaurants were rather arrogant and did not provide Chinese menus to their diners.

This situation will gradually change over time.

However, even in the year Xu Xiuwen was reborn, there were still many Western restaurants or other foreign restaurants that deliberately used foreign language menus.

To put it nicely, it's called screening customers.

Because if someone can read English, French, or other less common languages on the menu, their educational background is definitely not bad.

Educational background and cultural background are often inextricably linked to money.

But to put it bluntly, it's the arrogance inherent in the bones of a bunch of savage bandits who have lived a life of savagery for hundreds of years.

Unlike his previous test of Guo Shasha, Xu Xiuwen did not put the two women in a difficult position.

He closed the menu and began communicating with the waiter in spoken English.

After we ordered, the waiter tactfully withdrew.

Xu Xiuwen turned his head and immediately noticed Chen Shumi's admiring gaze.

Not only her, but Chen Shuwan across from her also looked at her with admiration.

Xu Xiuwen asked knowingly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Shumi asked with a smile, "Brother Wen, your spoken English is really good. I wonder when I can be as good as you."

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "You should focus more on your studies."

Chen Shumi pouted and said, "No, that's not true. I can read the English on the menu and understand what you two are saying, but I can't speak it well..."

This phenomenon is quite normal.

Xu Xiuwen said calmly, "That's enough."

"Ok."

Seeing that Xu Xiuwen didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Chen Shumi wisely shut her mouth.

At this time.

Chen Shuwan said, "Brother Wen, that waiter just now, the way he looked at you was a bit strange... I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just felt off..."

Xu Xiuwen smiled upon hearing this, "I know..."

He had already noticed the waiter's gaze.

As a fellow man, he almost instantly guessed why the other person was acting this way.

If the other person were brainless, and dared to say another word, he might have gone straight to the store manager to complain.

If the store manager ignores him, Xu Xiuwen also has ways to teach him a lesson.

But since the other party wisely kept quiet, he chose to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

Now that Chen Shuwan has brought this matter to light, Xu Xiuwen is no longer hiding anything.

Chen Shuwan was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "You know?"

"Of course, I even know why he did that!"

"Why?" Chen Shuwan pressed.

Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "Because of jealousy~"

Chen Shuwan fell silent.

She thought about it carefully for a while and gradually understood what Xu Xiuwen meant.

She did not think Xu Xiuwen was narcissistic.

Because she also felt that it seemed to be what Xu Xiuwen said.

Chen Shumi was very frustrated and anxious at this moment.

She could understand each word Xu Xiuwen and her sister said, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

"Brother Wen, Sister, what are you talking about?"

Xu Xiuwen glanced at Chen Shumi and said, "Children shouldn't ask too many questions..."

Chen Shumi pouted.

But she dared not speak out against her anger.

She thought for a moment, then turned to Chen Shuwan and asked, "Sister, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Chen Shuwan then looked at Xu Xiuwen.

She said, "I can't explain it clearly. You should ask Brother Wen."

Chen Shumi snorted, "You're my own sister, and you didn't even tell me. I'm angry."

Chen Shuwan only said one sentence, and Chen Shumi fell silent.

"Didn't you tell me when you got together with Wen Ge?"

Chen Shumi: "..."

This is a stain that she can't wash away.

Because they had promised each other that they would never hide anything from each other.

She failed to do it.

Seeing that her sister's approach was blocked, Chen Shumi had to turn back to Xu Xiuwen.

This time she learned her lesson.

Chen Shumi stood up from her seat, walked to Xu Xiuwen's side, grabbed his hand, and pouted coquettishly, "Brother Wen, just tell me~ please... please?"

Xu Xiuwen is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Besides, he hadn't originally intended not to tell the girl.

I was just teasing Chen Shumi.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Since you've been so nice, I'll tell you."

Chen Shumi immediately smiled.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Didn't you notice the strange look that waiter gave us just now?"

"Waitress?" Chen Shumi thought for a moment.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Xu Xiuwen said, "He's probably a little jealous of me because he saw me bring two beautiful women to dinner."

His tone was quite calm, without the slightest hint of pride.

Chen Shumi suddenly realized.

Then, instead of appearing angry, she smiled.

"It's understandable that he's jealous. Having two beautiful women accompany you to dinner is a privilege most people don't have..."

Xu Xiuwen was amused by her words.

"I don't know if it's because of the good treatment. You know, the line of people who want me to have dinner with her could stretch all the way to your school."

Chen Shumi knew Xu Xiuwen was popular, but such a long queue was clearly an exaggeration.

Chen Shumi said, "You're just bragging. I could say that the line of men chasing me stretches from here to France."

"Really? I haven't seen anyone chasing you."

Chen Shumi snorted, "But I didn't see anyone chasing you!"

Xu Xiuwen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you see? Your best friend is a perfect example." Chen Shumi was speechless.

She was no match for Hsu Hsiu-wen in the debate, so she simply shut up.

Chen Shumi walked back to her seat to prepare for dinner.

She even clicked her tongue.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Shuwan was a little worried that Xu Xiuwen would be angry.

In her opinion, Chen Shumi's words were a bit excessive.

However, Xu Xiuwen was not angry.

This relieved her and also made her feel more favorably toward Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen is indeed a good person!
However, what she didn't know was that once a man and a woman cross that line, many things become trivial.

Neither Xu Xiuwen nor Chen Shumi would actually get angry over trivial matters.

Especially since their relationship was at its best.

It's even less likely that they'd get angry.

Soon, the restaurant began serving the food.

When the waiter served the food, Chen Shumi couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

The waiter noticed it too.

He instinctively assumed that his physique and demeanor had attracted the other person.

So he straightened his posture even more, trying to show the other person his most manly side.

However, he failed to notice the fleeting look of disdain in the girl's eyes.

The three of them were eating dinner.

Xu Xiuwen thoughtfully cut the steak in front of him and then pushed it to Chen Shumi.

Chen Shumi, who was busy at work, was stunned for a moment when she saw this.

Chen Shuwan was also taken aback.

Then Chen Shumi realized what was happening, and a smile immediately appeared on her small, pretty face.

"Brother Wen, you're so good to me~"

The girl genuinely believed that.

Aside from her mother, sister, and Li Ke, she couldn't find anyone who treated her better than Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen smiled without saying a word, and just kept cutting the meat.

After she finished cutting the meat, Xu Xiuwen handed the plate to Chen Shuwan.

Chen Shuwan didn't notice at first.

It wasn't until Xu Xiuwen reminded her that she noticed the steak that had already been cut in front of her.

Chen Shuwan was stunned.

"Hurry up and take it over."

Coming to her senses, Chen Shuwan politely declined, saying, "Brother Wen, I can cut it myself..."

Xu Xiuwen glared at her and urged, "Hurry up, don't make me angry."

Chen Shuwan seemed to be frightened.

She quickly took the plate and put it down, then pushed the plate in front of her to Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen picked up the plate and placed it in front of him, about to cut it, when he suddenly remembered something and reminded the two of them, "You two don't need to be too touched, it's just a small thing."

Because of their looks and family background, the two sisters have faced a lot of suppression and exclusion from girls their own age.

It's no exaggeration to say that there are very few people around them who truly treat them well.

Therefore, they pay special attention to these seemingly insignificant things.

After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, the two sisters looked at each other without saying a word, but everything was understood without being spoken.

The three of them were eating when...

Chen Shumi suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiuwen asked with concern.

He noticed Chen Shuwan looking out the window in surprise.

Xu Xiuwen looked in the direction of her gaze and saw two people.

To be precise, it was one man and one woman.

Xu Xiuwen didn't know the man.

The woman looked somewhat familiar.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Mi'er, do you know them?"

Chen Shumi ignored him and instead said to Chen Shuwan, who was standing next to her, "Sister, look!"

Chen Shuwan looked over upon hearing the sound.

They were also surprised when they saw the two people outside.

The next second, the two of them did something that Xu Xiuwen didn't expect.

Both of them lowered their heads.

The reason is simple: the woman outside happened to be looking into the restaurant.

Xu Xiuwen reacted quickly.

I immediately understood from the two women's reactions.

He asked, "Is that woman outside your mother?"

"Yeah." x2
Xu Xiuwen smiled.

However, things rarely go as planned.

Jessica Jung and the man beside her walked into the Western restaurant.

Seeing this, the two sisters lowered their heads even further.

He looked like he was afraid of being seen by Jessica Jung.

Xu Xiuwen found it funny.

Is it necessary to be so nervous?

Logically speaking, a son-in-law should be a little nervous when meeting his mother-in-law for the first time.

Perhaps it's because I've met my mother-in-law too many times.

Xu Xiuwen was already used to it.

He wasn't nervous at all when he saw Jessica Jung.

in contrast.

His gaze remained fixed on Jessica Jung, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Xu Xiuwen remembered that the two sisters had told him this before.

They are not their mother's biological daughters.

He couldn't remember exactly who said it.

But there must be something like that.

Xu Xiuwen wasn't afraid of his own mother-in-law, let alone someone who wasn't his biological mother.

Moreover, he was very confident that he could meet the requirements of any mother-in-law, no matter how high her demands were.

He naturally didn't need to be nervous or afraid.

(Cheng Lu's P.S.: What about my mom?)

Back to the topic.

Xu Xiuwen sized up Zheng Xiuyan.

This woman doesn't look like she has two daughters this big at all.

indeed.

After all, she has never given birth to two children.

First, let's talk about her facial features; they are very delicate.

As for her figure, she is absolutely curvaceous and shapely.

At this moment, Jessica Jung was wearing a floral dress, which added a touch of intellectual elegance to her overall demeanor.

As for the man next to Jessica Jung.

Xu Xiuwen also saw it clearly.

To be fair, he's quite handsome and has a mature demeanor.

He's clearly an outstanding man of his age.

However, this is precisely what aroused Xu Xiuwen's suspicion.

The reason is simple: why is a handsome, charismatic, and well-built man, who is also a doctor, still unmarried at the age of 40?
Men like this usually either have a major defect or are liars.

It's said that this blind date was arranged by an aunt from the hospital where Jung Soo-yeon works.

Therefore, the likelihood of it being a scam is low.

That leaves only one possibility.

It has major flaws.

Xu Xiuwen's first thought was that men couldn't have children.

In this way, having two daughters actually becomes an advantage for Jessica Jung.

Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

Xu Xiuwen did not tell the two women about his suspicions.

Firstly, the timing wasn't right, and secondly, he had no evidence.

What if the other person is just a normal single person who happens to be single?

His suspicion only makes him seem like a wicked person.

It is worth mentioning that.
