Chapter 2199
The moment Ye Chen mentioned roast goose, the expressions of both Liu Jiahui and Fang Jiaxin changed suddenly.
As a native of Hong Kong, Liu Jiahui used to love eating roast goose.
But ever since he learned that Chen Zhaozhong, a talented man from the business world, had been holed up in New York's Chinatown selling roast goose for twenty years, he had developed a deep hatred for roast goose.
Because, whenever he thought of roast goose, he would think of Chen Zhaozhong.
Whenever he thought of Chen Zhaozhong, he would think of the affair where Fang Jiaxin eloped with him, making it known to all of Hong Kong.
Moreover, what made him even more depressed was that a woman like Fang Jiaxin, who had never done a day's work in her life, was willing to follow Chen Zhaozhong and sell roast goose in Chinatown, working from dawn till dusk for several years; this point stung his heart even more deeply.
Anyone who has been hurt, no matter how strong they appear on the surface, must be fragile inside, or fragile in some specific aspect.
Although Liu Jiahui has strong strength and an extraordinary status in Hong Kong, the more this is the case, the more he cares about the cuckold's horns he wore back then.
Fang Jiaxin's embarrassed expression was also due to this.
She has actually been very favored by Liu Jiahui for so many years, and after giving birth to a son for him, she was held in the palm of his hand even more.
However, that one incident from back then always made her feel very uneasy inside.
Because she knew that it had always been Liu Jiahui's minefield, and the fundamental reason Liu Jiahui isolated her from his assets was also because of the existence of this minefield.
If it weren't for this incident, she would have long since become Liu Jiahui's most important and trusted person, and Liu Jiahui's assets would naturally have half belonging to her.
This is what happens when one step is wrong, every step is wrong.
Seeing the subtle expressions on both their faces, Ye Chen found it quite amusing, but he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two? Is there a problem with the roast goose?"
Liu Jiahui said awkwardly, "No, no, it's just that we didn't prepare roast goose at home today. If Mr. Ye likes to eat it, I will have someone prepare it for tonight!"
"Good!" Ye Chen nodded and sighed, "I love the crispy and greasy texture of roast goose the most, paired with sweet osmanthus sauce—that's what you call authentic..."
Liu Jiahui's expression was even more depressed; he even once thought that Ye Chen was deliberately mentioning roast goose to provoke him.
However, upon second thought, there shouldn't be many people who know that Chen Zhaozhong is selling roast goose in the United States.
After all, the news that Chen Zhaozhong was about to be deported was only recently released by him, and when he released it, he didn't reveal what Chen Zhaozhong was actually doing in the United States.
So, thinking of this, he felt slightly relieved, thinking that Ye Chen might have just happened to mention roast goose.
Subsequently, he bit the bullet and apologized with a smile, "It seems Mr. Ye is quite knowledgeable about Cantonese cuisine. Since that's the case, I will have someone prepare more brine, roast goose, and roast squab tonight!"
Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Liu is indeed meticulous in his affairs! To be honest, when I was young, I once came to Hong Kong with my father. Although many memories have blurred, the roast goose is still fresh in my mind!"
Liu Jiahui asked curiously, "Oh? I wonder if Mr. Ye remembers which shop the roast goose you ate as a child was from? If it's still open, I'll have a servant go buy it for you!"
Ye Chen nodded, recalled for a moment, and said with a serious face, "If I remember correctly, that roast goose shop should be called Chen's Roast Goose. I really can't remember the exact location, but the taste is still fresh in my mind. After all, that taste was truly superb; I still have an endless aftertaste even now!"
Chen's Roast Goose was the roast goose shop Chen Zhaozhong's old father opened in Hong Kong back in the day.
The old man worked hard for decades, making Chen's Roast Goose the most famous roast goose brand in Hong Kong, even appearing on the Hong Kong affordable Michelin restaurant list for many consecutive years, and it had a great reputation in Hong Kong.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Liu Jiahui wished he could slap himself in the face twice on the spot, and he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, "Damn! I really have a loose tongue! Why did I have to ask him for the shop name..."
Fang Jiaxin's expression was even more embarrassed, tinged with a bit of panic.
It would have been one thing for Ye Chen to mention roast goose, but he had to mention Chen's Roast Goose—wasn't that the same as slapping himself and Liu Jiahui directly in the face?
Seeing that both their expressions had frozen, Liu Manqiong, who was sitting opposite Ye Chen with a cold face the whole time, suddenly couldn't help but giggle.
Liu Jiahui immediately turned his face to glare at Liu Manqiong and asked angrily, "What's so funny?!"
