Chapter 2393 - 2200: No One Dares to Bully You Anymore (2)

"How cruel! Little chickens are so cute, why eat chicken skin!" Miao Qingqing said to Chu Xianling.

"And grilled oysters!" Chu Xianling replied to Miao Qingqing.

"Deal! Xiaodong, take me there!" Miao Qingqing turned around and tugged on Song Xiaodong's arm.

"Hey? How are you so easily persuaded?" Song Xiaodong asked Miao Qingqing.

"I want to eat oysters!"

"They're full of parasites, what are you eating them for?" Song Xiaoru came out with a stern face and said to Miao Qingqing.

"Sis! You look like this now."

"Just like Nurse Rong." Miao Qingqing muttered, head down.

"What did you say?" Song Xiaoru couldn't keep up her stern facade, laughing so hard her whole body shook.

"Grilled ones aren't safe, if you want to eat them, I'll make some for you this evening. I'll buy some after work." Song Xiaoru said to Miao Qingqing.

"But I want the grilled ones..." Miao Qingqing pouted.

"No way."

In the evening, Chu Xianling and Song Xiaodong indeed went out alone, only Chu Xianling liked the outdoor barbecue. Song Xiaodong's other wives found it greasy, unclean, cold, and crowded.

"Change into something decent!" Chu Xianling wrinkled her nose at Song Xiaodong.

"What should I change into? We're going to eat outdoor barbecue, I think it's beneath me. Wearing sportswear is just fine." Song Xiaodong retorted.

"Then I won't wear makeup or change clothes. I'll go in my work clothes." Chu Xianling turned back to her room.

"That won't do. I can dress sloppy, but you must dress beautifully." Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling's room.

"Why me?" Chu Xianling was not convinced.

"Think about it, the prettier you dress and the better you look, the higher your status. The less noticeable and uglier I am, people will think I'm wealthier and that I'm capable." Song Xiaodong reasoned with Chu Xianling.

"Hm! I'm just a Beijing Bloom stuck on your cow dung!" Chu Xianling, dressed in a long cyan down jacket, black tight long pants, black short boots, with her hair down, finished dressing up and came out of her room.

"Come on, arm in arm." Song Xiaodong reached out his hand.

Chu Xianling, a bit shy, blushed and spit lightly at Song Xiaodong, taking his arm and said softly: "You rascal!"

Song Xiaodong drove nearby, found a place to park, and then Chu Xianling, holding Song Xiaodong's arm, headed to the outdoor seafood barbecue beer plaza.

Chu Xianling dressed from head to toe, boots with heels, her height almost equal to Song Xiaodong's. Song Xiaodong deliberately lowered himself, appearing even shorter than Chu Xianling, dressed in a rustic manner. Compared to Chu Xianling, one looked like a movie star, the other like a migrant worker, catching pedestrians' attention.

"Hey, what's up with this woman's taste?"

"Totally blind."

"What does this woman see in that guy?"

"No need to say, either this guy is rich, or he's highly capable."

Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling walked, listening to the street gossip, both suppressing smiles.

"Actually, I'm both rich and highly capable." Song Xiaodong bragged to Chu Xianling.

"Yeah, you got all the benefits!" Chu Xianling retorted with a smile and a sidelong glance at Song Xiaodong.

"Xianling, as a talented woman from Beijing, why do you like such places? This outdoor barbecue is messy with all kinds of people. If you want to eat grilled chicken skin, I can take you to a barbecue restaurant, order whatever you want, this is autumn, eating barbecue outside is cold, windy, and you'll eat sand." Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.

"I've never had such things before, I barely ever came to places like this, except this summer when our whole family first visited an outdoor barbecue plaza." Chu Xianling explained to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong was quite unaware of the childhood lifestyle of someone like Chu Xianling, a wealthy family's daughter.

Chu Xianling meant that the place is too cheap, not fitting for someone like her, a wealthy family's daughter, not matching her status.

"Wow, there's a difference in how the daughter of a wealthy family speaks. From what I hear, you want to experience the common people's life a bit." Song Xiaodong mocked Chu Xianling.

"That's right." Chu Xianling laughed proudly.

Chatting, the two arrived at the outdoor seafood barbecue beer plaza, a large courtyard with many tents. Inside the tents were tables and chairs, and by the walls, many barbecue stoves emitting smoke.

"I especially like the chicken skin here—this sauce is really good! I've been thinking about it since the last time we came, waiting for another chance to eat it here." Chu Xianling said to Song Xiaodong.

"If you wanted to come, you should've told me earlier. Summer would have been much better; now it's almost winter." Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.

"I didn't want to say anything. I am called Miss Chu after all, running here to eat this stuff, like you said, how disgraceful!" Chu Xianling puffed her cheeks, said to Song Xiaodong.

"Hahaha, I knew it. But really, what's the big deal? Remember there was a news story before, about a particularly delicious stinky tofu in Changsha, just a street stall, celebrities or officials or wealthy magnates, all had to respectfully stand by the roadside, queue amid exhaust fumes, eating is not disgraceful." Song Xiaodong laughed and reassured Chu Xianling.
