Chapter 1692: Scumbags and Scumbags Are Different Kinds of Scum

Feifei was very moved.

They indeed needed these things right now.

Yuxin interrupted her: "What is this talk of thanks? We are family, there is no need for such formalities..."

Before she finished speaking, she realized she had been careless.

This was a bit too presumptuous.

Although the engagement ceremony for Litian and Feifei had been very simple, they were still engaged, and Lu Feifei could be considered half a member of the Sheng Family.

Yet she and Zichen were only boyfriend and girlfriend; what right did she have to say "we are family"?

Gu Yuxin's face turned red in an instant.

Fortunately, Zihan eased the awkwardness.

Zihan said: "Sister-in-law is right, we are family, there is no need for formalities. If you feel embarrassed, Second Sister-in-law, just show off your skills and cook a few more dishes to treat us. I didn't eat breakfast, I was saving myself for this meal."

He even pushed Tian Yuanyuan over: "Go, go, don't follow me, all you sisters-in-law should go to the kitchen..."

Although Zichen was the head chef, he wasn't allowed in the kitchen today; the three girls were busy in the kitchen, chattering away, while the brothers in the living room teased Zirui.

Zichen: "Everyone is here in pairs, where is your girlfriend?"

Zirui didn't speak, pretending not to hear.

Zihan would never miss an opportunity like this; he took out his phone: "I'll call Bai Manman..."

The phone was snatched away, and Zirui frowned, displeased: "You are not allowed to call her here; if she comes, I'm leaving."

Since things had reached this point, naturally, he couldn't call her.

Zihan spoke with the tone of someone who had been through it all, sounding old beyond his years: "Zirui, I have to talk to you about this. Since you don't like her, why haven't you broken up yet?"

"She was chosen by Mom and Dad. I've told you more than once, can you not understand human speech?" Zirui glared at him.

The brothers had argued about this issue more than once or twice, but there was never a result.

Zihan's brain was full of romantic cells; he was simple and pure.

He felt that one should only be together if they liked each other, and if they didn't, they couldn't be together.

Zirui clearly didn't like Bai Manman, yet he wouldn't bring up a breakup; in his eyes, this was what you called a scumbag!

Actually, in many people's eyes, he was also a scumbag, but he wouldn't admit it.

Before Zirui had contact with Qi Shishi, he felt that marrying anyone was the same; things like love didn't exist for him, and such childish nonsense was only suitable for someone with a love-addled brain like Zihan.

After falling in love with Qi Shishi, he still felt that marrying anyone was the same!

If he couldn't be with the person he loved most, then marrying a wife was just completing a task. Since it was a task, then let his parents decide; anyway, his love was already dead.

At these times, he would envy Zihan, envy him for always being able to possess love!

Zichen asked Zirui: "What is wrong with you? Since you don't like her, don't delay her; what you are doing is immoral."

"This matter is also my fault; I've been too busy with my own affairs and neglected you," Zichen blamed himself.

He had met Bai Manman; that girl liked Zirui, liked him down to her very bones.

But even so, one could not exploit someone else's feelings.

Zichen thought that one day, Zirui would be moved by Bai Manman and gradually come to like her.

There were many such cases; many romances started from being moved, it was just that some could transform into love, while others could not.

Zirui was the latter.

Even though Bai Manman liked him so much and did many foolish things for him, he only thought she was foolish and wasn't moved in the slightest.

Zirui could ignore Zihan, but he couldn't help but explain to his eldest brother: "Eldest Brother, don't worry about my affairs; it's my own problem. Bai Manman knows I don't like her, and she still wants to marry me, so I will marry her."

"It's a matter of mutual consent; we are just getting what we need."

Zichen: "She is truly foolish; making such a choice will not lead to happiness."

Zirui: "Yes, I have already made it clear to her, and she still wants to make this choice; there is nothing I can do."

Litian listened the whole time without expressing any opinion.

The brothers' conversations were always like this; Litian was always the one who spoke the least, and most of the time he was like an invisible person, only listening and not speaking.

Zihan:...

He couldn't understand it at all.

And he wanted to interfere to the end; just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang, interrupting what he was about to say.

"Who is here?"

Zichen stood up to open the door: "It's Moli; I invited Moli to come over and gather with everyone. I forgot to tell you all just now."

The door opened, and sure enough, it was Moli.

He didn't come alone; he also brought a girl.

The girl was wearing a beige professional suit, with short hair cut to her ears, looking sharp and capable.

Moli was holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, while the girl carried a large bag in each hand; one bag contained wine and drinks, and the other was full of fruit.

Zichen took the girl's bags while scolding Moli: "You really are something; you hold the flowers and let a girl carry such heavy things, are you not ashamed?"

"Come in quickly."

Moli laughed: "I wanted to carry them, but she wouldn't let me; she feels bad for me."

The girl glared at him coquettishly.

Then she greeted Zichen with poise: "Hello, Eldest Brother, my name is Su Qiangying, I am Moli's girlfriend."

"Hello, hello."

It was their first meeting, so they should have shaken hands, but Zichen's hands were both occupied, so they let it be.

Moli had brought a girlfriend; this girlfriend seemed to have fallen from the sky, as no one had heard he had a girlfriend before this.

Although it was a bit sudden, everyone still showed the proper enthusiasm, gathering around to welcome her and prepare to introduce themselves.

Moli is just a bookworm; don't count on him to remember.

Without waiting for everyone to introduce themselves, Su Qiangying smilingly called out everyone's name, which left them amazed.

She explained, "I looked at your photos before I came, so I know who is who."

Although it was their first time meeting, Su Qiangying didn't stand on ceremony at all; after greeting everyone, she began to busy herself as if she were the host.

"What are we eating for lunch? Let me see what you have all prepared."

Lu Feifei said, "Take a break; we're working on it in the kitchen, it'll be ready soon." She thought Su Qiangying was hungry, but that wasn't the case.

Su Qiangying walked into the kitchen and very quickly began to give orders.

"Who chopped the chicken? These pieces are too big and won't cook easily." After saying this, she picked up a kitchen knife and *bang, bang, bang* chopped away, turning the large pieces into small ones.

This was a small matter, but it wasn't over yet.

She soon pointed out several other things she couldn't stand—tomatoes shouldn't be stir-fried with eggs, they should be stewed with beef!

Cucumber strips get watery easily when using a grater; they must be sliced with a kitchen knife, and it's better to cut them a bit thicker.

Garlic shouldn't be minced with a kitchen knife; it must be pounded into a paste using a garlic mortar...

On the edge of the cutting board was a large piece of ginger, and in a small bowl next to it were some already-cut ginger strips.

She threw both the ginger and the ginger strips into the trash can with clean, efficient movements, and without asking anyone, the three women were dumbfounded and looked at each other in dismay.
