The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 288 Jealousy
After the steward of Chunfenglou took the people away, Yang Feng immediately waved his hand at the diners who were still talking and said loudly: "Everyone, disperse, there is nothing to see anymore."

These diners had just seen a good show, so they were not upset. They walked out in groups of three or four, talking about the strange scene of the two men selling themselves, their words full of novelty and excitement.

Xie Yuan saw everyone dispersing, and his steps paused slightly, with a hint of hesitation on his face. While Xie Lan's attention was distracted, he lowered his body and quietly blended into the crowd and left.

After everyone left, Xiao Jin put down his teacup, raised his hand to call a waiter, and calmly ordered: "Bring one portion of all the signature dishes in your restaurant."

The waiter was slightly startled at first, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Xie Lan, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw this. The wine and food at Zuixianlou were not cheap, but it had nothing to do with her anyway.

Having made up his mind, Xie Lan turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait," Xiao Jin stopped her, "Are you planning to leave now?"

Xie Lan looked puzzled and looked back at him: "Why, I can't leave?"

"It's not that you can't leave, but if you leave now, who will pay the bill for Zuixianlou later?" Xiao Jin said slowly.

Xie Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had heard something bizarre. "You want me to pay for your meal?"

Xiao Jin smiled and said as a matter of course, "I helped you just now. It's not too much to treat me to a meal, right?"

Xie Lan choked. It was not excessive, but when she thought about the money she had to spend on this meal, she couldn't help but feel distressed. If this money was converted into incense, it could be used to offer sacrifices to the ancestors for a long time.

However, thinking that he had finally sold out Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe, Xie Lan gritted his teeth and thought, "Never mind, never mind," just take it as a celebration that the "good days" of the Xie family's destruction are finally beginning.

Xiao Jin secretly laughed, this little junior sister is really an extraordinary money-grubber.

The waiter was not sure if he was worried that Xie Lan would go back on his word, so he served the dishes very quickly. In just a quarter of an hour, he brought all the signature dishes of Zuixianlou up like flowing water.

In an instant, the table full of delicacies exuded an enticing aroma, and Xie Lan's attention was immediately attracted. He had long thrown away the matter of worrying about the money, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, ready to feast on the food.

After the meal, Xie Lan was very satisfied. However, Xiao Jin only focused on picking food for her and didn't eat much.

With the idea of ​​out of sight, out of heart, Xie Lan asked Tiechui to pay the bill while she left Zuixianlou first.

Although it was already past the mealtime for ordinary people, Zuixianlou was indeed a famous restaurant in the capital. The business was not affected by time at all. There was still an endless stream of diners coming in and out, and it was very lively.

Outside the store, a graceful girl was standing next to a gorgeous carriage, her eyebrows raised, and she was loudly scolding the trembling maid beside her.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Jin coming out of the lobby of Zuixianlou. In an instant, her expression changed like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera. Her face, which was full of anger the moment before, was instantly filled with a delicate and artificial smile.

She moved her lotus steps lightly, her waist swaying gracefully, and walked towards Xiao Jin as fast as flowing clouds and water, and the sweet voice followed. "Master Xiao, what a coincidence, are you also coming to Zuixianlou for dinner?"

I don't know whether she did it on purpose or she didn't notice the person in front of her at all. Just when she was about to pass by Xie Lan, she suddenly bumped into Xie Lan.

At that time, Xie Lan happened to see a five or six-year-old girl nearby, carrying a basket of colorful flowers and shouting out to sell them.

The girl wore an exquisitely woven wreath on her head, with colorful flowers intertwined in a staggered manner. Crystal dewdrops hung on the fresh petals, sparkling with charming brilliance under the sunlight.

Xie Lan was attracted by the attention for a moment, and was caught off guard by the girl with the sweet voice, causing her to stumble. If Xiao Jin hadn't been quick to help her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

"How is it? Did you sprain your ankle?" Xiao Jin's attention was all on Xie Lan, and he didn't notice that the girl next to him was looking at him lovingly.

After Xie Lan steadied himself, he subconsciously turned his head to see who was so reckless. This turn happened to allow him to see the girl's expression and posture.

Xie Lan originally wanted to ask the other party to apologize to him, but seeing that the girl was clearly interested in Xiao Jin, he hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea.

Since she had never thought of marrying Lord Xiao, there was no need for her to argue with the girl over such a trivial matter and cause trouble.

Xie Lan shook his head and said to Xiao Jin: "I'm fine."

Xie Lan caught a glimpse of the girl next to him looking at him with hostility. He was too lazy to pay attention and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin nodded slightly at her, raised his eyes to look at the girl who bumped into someone, a trace of impatience flashed across his expression, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Girl, you should be more careful when you walk. Since you bumped into someone, why don't you apologize?"

Xie Lan paused. Lord Xiao was standing up for her. If she ignored him, wouldn’t she be embarrassing him in public?

The girl had just seen Xiao Jin supporting Xie Lan, and she was already feeling jealous and sour. Now when she heard Xiao Jin asking her to apologize to the other party, she became even more furious, and her chest heaved violently with anger.

But because Xiao Jin was present, he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to suppress his anger and said perfunctorily, "I wasn't paying attention just now and accidentally touched the girl. You won't blame me, right?"

Although the girl didn't express her anger, her apology was not sincere at all, and Xie Lan could see it. However, she didn't intend to dwell on this matter too much, and didn't say forgiveness. She just said calmly, "Young lady, be careful when you walk next time, and don't bump into others again."

After saying that, she turned and left. Although Xiao Jin was dissatisfied with the girl's attitude, he saw that Xie Lan had already left, so he didn't say anything and followed her.

Seeing the two of them leaving together, a sinister look flashed in the girl's eyes for a moment, and she glared fiercely in the direction where Xie Lan left. Her eyes seemed to be poisoned, full of resentment and unwillingness.

But in the blink of an eye, she quickly put away her vicious expression and returned to her gentle and soft appearance. She moved lightly, hurriedly snatched an exquisite food box from the hand of the maid next to her, and then took a few quick steps with a graceful figure, and stood directly in front of Xiao Jin.

She held out the food box in her hand, her voice soft and gentle, so sweet that it seemed like honey could drip out, "Master Xiao, I heard that you like Su He Ji's snacks very much. This is the freshly baked lotus cake. I waited in line for a long time before I could buy it. Since I have the good fortune to meet you today, this snack is just right for you to taste..."
