She suddenly turned to Xiaotao and complained: "

"Hey, don't push me. It's actually your brother-in-law, such a handsome person wasted on such a bad-tempered woman!"

After saying that, she looked at me disdainfully.

My mother was stunned for a moment, forced a smile, and said to her, "Sit on the sofa and rest for a while. The meal will be ready soon~"

My father's smile disappeared, he turned his head, sighed, and went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

Seeing that she was about to struggle to the kitchen, I quickly called Zhou Yunqiao over to let her take a good look at him.

"Zhou Yunqiao, Xiaotao's girlfriend, praises you for being extremely handsome, and yet you are going to marry such a bad-tempered woman like me~"

I maintained a shallow smile and warmly introduced him.

Zhou Junqiao was wearing an apron and politely greeted her.

Then he pointed at me and spread his hands to them, "There's nothing I can do. I've been stuck with her in this life. I can't marry anyone else but her!"

Liu Yuyan stopped talking, sat on the sofa with an embarrassed expression, took out her phone and swiped it a few times, suddenly wrinkled her nose, and asked Xiaotao,

"What's that smell?"

Xiaotao looked around and saw father smoking on the balcony. He didn't say anything but pointed at him.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly threw her phone on the coffee table, covered her face, and started crying.

Xiaotao was puzzled and hugged her, asking her what was wrong. Father heard the sound and hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette, walking over to ask if she wasn't feeling well.

I thought for a moment, girls have those days, could it be physiological factors that caused her emotional instability?

Just as I was about to go forward and ask her, she suddenly took her hand off her face and cried loudly at the ceiling, saying,

"My dad died many years ago, and he loved smoking the most. As soon as I entered the door, your dad deliberately angered me by smoking..."

Oh my god~

In an instant, I couldn't make sense of it, what does smoking have to do with her being upset?

Considering that she is Xiaotao's girlfriend, and it's the first time she came to our house, my father awkwardly said she was a filial daughter and kept apologizing to her, and I held back from saying anything.

After a while, she finally stopped crying and started using her phone again.

Meanwhile, she even made Xiaotao peel walnuts and sunflower seeds for her, not moving her hands, just opening her mouth to eat.

She commented on each bite, saying that the walnuts weren't authentic, that the sunflower seeds didn't taste right, and they looked like they were bought from the grocery store.

She said that she usually buys authentic, branded candies and snacks from specialty stores.

It was simply mind-blowing, her 5,000 yuan salary displayed a pretentiousness of 500,000 yuan per month!

To prevent myself from vomiting due to discomfort, I quickly went into the kitchen to help my mother serve the dishes.

"Yuyan, I don't know what you like to eat. You see, there are many dishes here, pick whatever you want~"

Once the food was ready, my mother said politely to her.

Perhaps afraid of making the other person uncomfortable, she kept signaling Xiaotao with her eyes to pick the dishes for her.

It turned out that our whole family had overthought it.

She was not restrained at all, but rather stared at Zhou Yunqiao, using a sweet and expert-like attitude to comment on the dishes, saying that there were too many seasonings in the braised pork, and authentic braised pork should be original, like the one made by Yuan Ye Grand Hotel;

She said the Tongo chive had been cooked too long, and it should be crispy to have a good texture; the tofu was fried too yellow, some parts were crispy and some parts were tender, with an uneven texture...

She even asked my mother to go and try the dishes at Yuan Ye Grand Hotel, saying that the chefs there are really good~

My mother just nodded and smiled, saying yes.

My father's expression grew darker and darker, he forcefully picked up a dish and mixed it with rice, then stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that she wouldn't stop talking, Xiaotao tried several times to stop her but failed. Zhou Yunqiao couldn't help it anymore and smiled at her:

"Sister, do you not know? Our mom used to work as a top chef at Yuan Ye Grand Hotel and she's still being called there for training from time to time~"

Suddenly, she closed her mouth, no longer nagging. But soon, she changed the subject and asked Zhou Yunqiao in a sad tone:

"Oh? Then why is the food you cook at home different from the one you cook at the restaurant? Is it because you know I'm coming and are trying to bully me since I don't have a father?"

"How could that be? My mom is extremely happy~"

Xiaotao quickly took over and discreetly tugged at her skirt while making eye contact with her.

After a few attempts, she finally stopped the tears from flowing.

We were all almost full by this point.

Zhou Yunqiao began discussing our future marital home with my parents, saying that he would ask them to visit and have a look, and if everything was fine, he would pay directly.

Hearing this, Liu Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked coquettishly, "You're so rich. What do you do for a living?"

As she spoke, her gaze shifted, and her eyes almost popped out of her head.

I was startled, and the pair of chopsticks fell to the ground with a snap.

As I bent down to pick them up, I saw her raise her foot and kick Zhou Yunqiao.
