Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 723: Chapter 716: Shi Zhenzhen

Mo Liu seemed a bit intimidated by this girl. He squeezed out a tiny smile and said nonchalantly, "Why would I call you? You’re not a chef!"

Sisi raised her eyebrows. It’d been a while since she’d seen Mo Liu so lively and animated.

Back when they were in school, she often saw Mo Liu bickering and snatching food with Shangguan and Liu Qiqi, looking all spirited. But ever since he went to Hong Kong, his smile became more perfect, yet he seemed less enthusiastic.

Who exactly is this girl?

She could provoke Mo Liu so effortlessly?

Seems like something’s up!

Sisi immediately perked up, pretending to be indifferent as she looked at the scenery outside the window, but actually, she was listening keenly and observing the interaction between the two with sidelong glances.

"I don’t know how to cook, but my dad and big brother do!"

The girl said as she set down the dishes from the tray onto the table—seven or eight plates in total, clearly more than they had ordered.

Mo Liu raised his eyebrows and pointed at the dishes, saying, "I only told the manager five or six dishes, why did you bring so many?"

The girl calmly looked at the dishes, then flashed a dazzling smile, blinding Mo Liu.

"I’m joining you for the meal, and the two extra dishes are on the house."

"Who said you could eat with us? Shi Zhenzhen, don’t you have any manners? I’m eating with friends, and barging in like this is very rude. You’re a university lecturer, could you show some decorum?"

Mo Liu was flustered and furious, his words were quite cutting, not at all like his usual polite self.

However, the girl didn’t mind one bit, smiling happily as she said, "You’re so good-looking, just sitting in front of you makes me eat an extra bowl of rice, you’re indeed a feast for the eyes!"

Mo Liu was so angry he felt like he was going to bleed. He hated it the most when people commented on his looks, especially when it came from someone like Shi Zhenzhen, whom he was not particularly fond of.

’Pfft.’

Sisi couldn’t help but laugh. Why did she feel no sympathy seeing Mo Liu like this?

Probably because this girl named Shi Zhenzhen really liked Mo Liu!

It was quite clear that Shi Zhenzhen liked Mo Liu and she was pursuing him relentlessly!

Sisi didn’t mind helping out this Shi Zhenzhen. She had a good impression of this cheerful and straightforward girl. Shi Zhenzhen was like a ray of sunshine, maybe she could cleanse the decaying part of Ah Liu’s heart!

The most important thing was, Mo Liu wasn’t entirely uninterested in Shi Zhenzhen, was he?

When Shi Zhenzhen saw Sisi laughing, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said to Sisi, "Sister, you don’t mind me joining you for the meal, do you?"

Sisi couldn’t help but laugh again, teasing her, "I don’t mind, but I’m just a guest. It’s Ah Liu who’s paying, so it’s up to him. Besides, you should call me ’sister’; my eldest son is already ten years old!"

Sisi actually wanted to subtly tell Shi Zhenzhen not to view her as a rival. She was already taken!

Sure enough, Shi Zhenzhen’s smile grew even brighter, her eyes shining like light bulbs. She didn’t mind Mo Liu at all and sat right next to Sisi, enthusiastically introducing the dishes on the table.

"Sister, all these dishes are cooked by my big brother. He’s a top-class chef, and these are some of his specialties. They’re really delicious—I’ve been eating them for over twenty years and never get tired of them. Try them."

Sisi smiled and glanced at Mo Liu, who was glaring. She picked up a poached shrimp, peeled it, dipped it in sauce, and took a bite. It was indeed fresh and tasty, perfectly cooked.

"The taste is really good. Zhenzhen, you’re so lucky to enjoy these delicacies every day!" Sisi sincerely praised.

Shi Zhenzhen beamed happily and nodded without modesty, "Of course, my dad and three older brothers have never skimped on food for me. Generally speaking, I’ve tasted all the world’s delicacies."

"Except for mud cakes and stone eggs!" Mo Liu snorted.

Sisi’s mouth twitched; this was the first time she had witnessed Ah Liu’s knack for verbal jabs!

Shi Zhenzhen wasn’t angry but laughed instead, giving Mo Liu a once-over and exclaimed, "Oh my, Mo Liu, you’ve become prettier again? Even prettier than the newly crowned Miss G City!"

Mo Han was so annoyed that he couldn’t even manage a coherent nasal comment. He picked up a piece of Wenchang Chicken and put it in Sisi’s bowl, saying loudly, "Sisi, have some chicken. This restaurant may not have much going for its daughter, but the dishes are actually pretty good."

Not to be outdone, Shi Zhenzhen gave Sisi a piece of braised pork, sweetly saying, "Sisi, this braised pork is neither too fatty nor greasy. It looks and tastes great. I call it Beauty Braised Pork. Have more!"

This girl was quite clever; she immediately latched onto Sisi’s name after hearing Mo Liu mention it.

But these two flirtatious ones didn’t need to use her as a shield, Sisi bellowed out of nowhere, "Sit properly, both of you! If I want something, I’ll get it myself. No need for your help."

Mo Liu and Shi Zhenzhen both flinched, glaring at each other for a moment before snorting and then obediently eating their meals.

Sisi nodded in satisfaction and resumed eating. To be honest, the dishes at this restaurant were quite good, each with a distinct style from the Niu family’s cuisine. She might introduce them in the future.

The trio nearly finished the seven or eight dishes. When Mo Liu went to pay, Shi Zhenzhen shouted, "Mention my name, and you can get a 20% discount."

If Mr. Shi heard his daughter’s words, he would undoubtedly sigh in dismay and lament, "Girls are indeed outgoing!"

Shi Zhenzhen accompanied them to the parking lot and pestered Sisi for her phone number, saying she wanted to invite her to go shopping.

"I’m not a local. I’m here to see my husband, and I’m heading back to the Capital City in a few days. If I have time, I wouldn’t mind accompanying you, Zhenzhen!" Sisi cleared things up first.

"Then when I visit the Capital City, can I visit your place, Sisi?" Shi Zhenzhen was very friendly but decent, knowing when to stop, never making herself a nuisance.

Sisi didn’t pay much mind; after all, she and Shi Zhenzhen were just acquaintances who met once; who knows if they’d meet again in the future?

Of course, if she and Mo Liu really ended up together, that would be a different story!

Even as the car drove far away, Sisi could still see, through the rearview mirror, the radiant, smiling girl waving incessantly.

"Ah Liu, what’s the relationship between you and this Shi Zhenzhen? Is she your girlfriend?" Sisi purposely probed.

Mo Liu acted as if he had been stung by a scorpion and vehemently denied, "How is that possible? How could I possibly have a relationship with her? We’re just colleagues at work. Sisi, don’t make random guesses!"

"Besides, this Shi Zhenzhen is so rough, her mouth is so sharp, and her skin is so thick. How could I possibly like her?" Mo Liu continued to list Shi Zhenzhen’s shortcomings mercilessly.

Sisi glanced at him blandly, "Ah Liu, where’s your gentlemanly demeanor? How can you talk about a girl like this? Zhenzhen would be hurt to hear this."

Mo Liu widened his eyes and retorted, "Gentlemanly demeanor depends on the person, okay? Sisi, you have no idea how she talks about me. I’m already being very gracious by saying this!"

Sisi shrugged. The sparks flying between these two were blinding!
