Chapter 347: The Set 1

A servant brought up a plate of steamed deep-sea snow fish, and Li Zhenshan said kindly, "This fish is specially prepared for you."

"I like deep-sea snowfish the most, thank you grandpa." Bai Ruoyao's expression of excitement was beyond words.

"I like to eat too." Zhang Yunzhen picked up two chopsticks and put a lot into Bai Ruoyao's bowl.

"There is no Jing Xuan's favorite dish on this table." Zhang Yunzhen said it as if casually, but in fact she was looking good for her eldest daughter.

"It's because you don't understand me, I'll eat everything." Bai Jingxuan answered calmly.

"Mom doesn't know, when did you become so picky..."

"What does my mother-in-law mean, the dishes I had people prepare weren't good enough?" Li Zhenshan said in an unhappy tone.

"Nothing." Zhang Yunzhen waved her hand quickly.

"Oh, this fish doesn't seem very fresh." Bai Ruoyao spat out the fish she ate. Zhang Yunzhen repaid, "It seems that it is not new."

"What's going on?" Li Zhenshan turned to ask the servant, and ordered, "Let the cook come over."

The chef came over and took a sip, with an apologetic expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice that this deep-sea seabass is not fresh, and the taste has changed after frying."

"Take it down, be more careful next time." Li Zhenshan waved his hand.

As in the past, Zhang Yunzhen would definitely criticize the cook, but now, she suddenly said kindly, "You don't need to carry it, you can still eat it."

Even Bai Ruoyao showed a kind expression, "Yes, don't waste it."

Bai Jingxuan laughed, "You two are not frugal people."

"Diligence and thrift are my five thousand years of Chinese traditional virtues, and it's not too late to learn." Zhang Yunzhen's reasons were high-sounding.

Bai Jingxuan knew that Zhang Yunzhen's mother and daughter were afraid that the spit out fish meat would be stained with saliva on the plate for a paternity test.

"Pregnant people should not eat spoiled food." Li Zhenshan didn't follow their wishes.

The servant took down the plate that Zhang Yunzhen and Bai Ruoyao ate.

Zhang Yunzhen immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but she could only pretend that nothing had happened on the surface, "Oh, thank you for the hospitality, old lady. Come, let me toast you."

Saying that, he picked up a glass of red wine and stood up.

Li Zhenshan changed his usual refusal to keep people away from thousands of miles away, but he picked up his cup and took a sip.

"Grandpa Li, I wanted to toast you too." Bai Ruoyao stroked her swollen belly guiltily, "You can't drink if you're pregnant, I hope you will understand."

"It's okay. The child is important." Li Zhenshan showed that he attached great importance to the child.

Zhang Yunzhen squeezed Bai Ruoyao's hand quietly under the table. She understood what her mother meant, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys eat first."

"Pregnant women just urinate too much." Zhang Yunzhen smoothed things over for her daughter, "This is a very normal situation."

Li Zhenshan was noncommittal.

After Bai Ruoyao left the table, she first walked towards the bathroom, and immediately turned to the kitchen while there was no one around.

I just saw the servant dump the seabass she and her mother had eaten directly into the trash can, and didn't intend to extract saliva.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but there would be no trace left.

"Oh, Miss Bai, why did you come into the kitchen?" The servant said in panic, "There is a lot of oily smoke, which is not good for children."

"I'm here to ask the cook, can you change the steamed cod into braised?"

"Of course. The old man said that it is no problem to order some dishes when he invites you to a banquet."

"I'll just eat braised food." Bai Ruoyao pretended to drink a large glass of water from the water dispenser, "Pregnant women tend to get thirsty."

After taking two sips, he poured the remaining large glass of water into the trash can containing the cod.

In this way, no one can extract saliva from a bitten cod.

In less than ten minutes, Bai Ruoyao returned to the seat with a smile on her face. Seeing her good complexion, Zhang Yunzhen knew that nothing special happened, and she felt better.

Bai Ruoyao glanced at one of the empty seats, "Where's my sister Jing Xuan?"

"She said she's finished eating, so let's go first." Zhang Yunzhen snorted coldly, "Old Master Li, I think she is just dissatisfied with you. After all, she has never put you in high regard."

Seizing the opportunity to speak ill of Bai Jingxuan, Li Zhenshan delayed the old woman, "It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of the Li family."

"I am her own mother."

"She has already married into the Li family, which is the Li family." Li Zhenshan left the table angrily, "It's really disgusting to talk so much."

When Zhang Yunzhen saw that he had left her and her daughter and left, she blushed with anger.
