Chapter 927 Japanese Cuisine
"No, what do I have against my cousin?"
Wan Ruyi's eyes were wide open, and she looked completely innocent.
But Rong Tinglan was no ordinary person either; she could tell that Wan Ruyi was just pretending to be stupid.
I almost got tricked by them.
Rong Tinglan thought to herself, "This little brat is really siding with outsiders."
On the surface, however, she feigned a relieved expression: "It's good that you have no objections. I was worried that you might..."
Rong Tinglan didn't finish her sentence, but Wan Ruyi already understood what she meant.
"Cousin, do you really like Professor Sheng?"
Rong Tinglan paused, seemingly a little embarrassed: "Ruyi, why would you ask that?"
"I'm just curious."
Wan Ruyi's explanation.
Rong Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
“I really like him. You don’t know, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen Sheng Qingyan at school.”
what?
Wan Ruyi was surprised.
“When I returned to China, Sheng Qingyan helped me out of an awkward situation at the airport. I fell in love with him at first sight; you could say it was love at first sight.”
"So that's how it is." Wan Ruyi thought to herself, "Since Professor Sheng helped you out of that predicament, how can you repay kindness with enmity?"
And then there was that night when the same situation happened, Professor Sheng wanted to help his junior, but you wanted to push her into a fire pit.
That's really unfair!
Surely Professor Sheng can't only help you and not other girls, right?
Speaking of which, Professor Sheng is so outstanding and kind, she likes him very much too!
She must find a man like Professor Sheng in the future!
Before she could even persuade her cousin to leave, Shen Lu had already arrived.
Shen Lu saw Wan Ruyi talking to Rong Tinglan and really didn't want to come over.
Teacher Rong Tinglan appears gentle and elegant, but her personality is definitely not easy to get along with.
In addition, her inexplicable obsession with Sheng Qingyan made Shen Lu reluctant to deal with her.
"LuLu." Wan Ruyi only remembered that she hadn't sent her cousin away yet when she saw Shen Lu.
Rong Tinglan had already taken the initiative to offer to treat everyone to dinner that evening.
"LuLu, you and Ruyi are good friends, and you helped her. As her older cousin, I really want to thank you for that."
“My uncle is usually busy with work, so he has always entrusted Ruyi to my care.”
“But I don’t have much time during my work. Ruyi was in trouble last time, and it was thanks to you that she was able to get away with it.”
"LuLu, don't refuse, let me treat you this time too."
Since Rong Tinglan has already said so, it wouldn't be good for Shen Lu to refuse any longer.
Shen Lu didn't intend to refuse.
Rong Tinglan always finds all sorts of reasons to pester me.
If you refuse this time, there will be another time.
Let's see how long she can hold out.
However, she could also help her older cousin convey his thoughts.
Hopefully, this teacher will not go to see Sheng Qingyan again.
There were already rumors at school that Rong Tinglan was pursuing Sheng Qingyan.
At first, everyone thought they were a perfect match, but Rong Tinglan had been pursuing Sheng Qingyan for so long and still hadn't won him over. For some reason, the rumors outside changed.
They say Sheng Qingyan is a middle-aged man who acts all high and mighty. If he weren't a professor at Beijing University, he'd be an old bachelor at that age.
In short, these rumors are extremely offensive.
Sheng Qingyan's reputation has been affected to some extent.
Some also said that he deliberately kept Teacher Rong hanging on and bullied the girl.
The rumors were getting increasingly outrageous. Although Sheng Qingyan didn't care, Shen Lu couldn't swallow her anger.
She even suspected that the person spreading the rumor was Rong Tinglan herself.
She is indirectly using public opinion to pressure Sheng Qingyan into being with her.
If it really was Rong Tinglan who did it, then Shen Lu finds her behavior utterly despicable.
"Cousin, LuLu was supposed to treat me to dinner today, how could you cut in line?"
Seeing that Shen Lu remained silent, Wan Ruyi had no choice but to help her.
She was also very dissatisfied with her cousin's actions.
It's as if they absolutely must achieve their own goal.
Rong Tinglan thought her cousin was mentally unstable; how could she possibly undermine her?
They are cousins, shouldn't Wan Ruyi help her persuade Shen Lu?
"I only thought of inviting you to dinner because I like you guys," Rong Tinglan said, speechless.
Fortunately, Shen Lu agreed to have the meal before Wan Ruyi got angry.
It's summer now, and Rong Tinglan treated them to Japanese cuisine.
It's not even near the school, but in the city center.
Shen Lu and Wan Ruyi?
They didn't actually have any particular preference for Japanese cuisine.
They could only go along with the host's arrangements; since the host had made such arrangements, they didn't want to spoil the mood.
However, Shen Lu was driving herself, and Wan Ruyi was sitting in her car, constantly complaining.
“I don’t know what happened to my cousin, but after going to Japan, her lifestyle has become almost the same as theirs.”
"I like Japanese cuisine and the etiquette is similar to that of Japan. Sometimes I even doubt whether what my aunt says is true."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lu paused in her driving, asking, "What did your aunt say again?"
In fact, Shen Lu still remembered what Wan Ruyi had said back then. She was just casually echoing what Wan Ruyi had said, and also to confirm it.
She said my cousin wasn't her daughter and demanded that my cousin return her daughter to her!
Shen Lu frowned so deeply it could trap a fly: "Does your aunt have any evidence to support her claim?"
Wan Ruyi sighed: "What evidence could there be? It's just that my cousin is obsessed with Japanese culture. Even after she returned to China, some of her words and actions still make people uncomfortable."
"However, my cousin has been abroad for several years, so it's normal for her to have changed. No one stays the same forever."
"Auntie probably just said it casually during an argument."
"And not long after that argument, my aunt died in a car accident."
"My cousin cried terribly at my aunt's funeral."
"She also said she shouldn't have gone abroad, missing out on spending time with her family these past few years..."
Looking back on all of this, Wan Ruyi felt that her cousin had no problems whatsoever.
The relatives also advised my cousin that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and no one wanted an accident to happen.
Tell Rong Tinglan not to be too sad.
She thought her cousin must really regret going to Japan, the land of cherry blossoms.
Perhaps if she had stayed in China, her life would have been completely different, and her aunt's life trajectory would have been very different.
"But now it seems that she only regretted it at the time, and now she has completely returned to the state she was in when she first came back from Japan."
Shen Lu did not comment on this.
The two arrived at the Japanese cuisine restaurant that Rong Tinglan had praised, and found that it was indeed a good place, and a high-quality restaurant.
If guests like, they can also change into the store's kimonos for photos.
Shen Lu and Wan Ruyi were not interested in this, and Rong Tinglan did not change her mind, but simply invited them to a private room.
It seems that Rong Tinglan had reserved this spot a long time ago.
