Chapter 696: Highlight Finally Arrived (2)
As soon as Nanny Sun finished speaking, a waiter came in with a cup of hot water.
When the waiter was almost in front of old Mr. Lin, Nanny Sun stood up straight and reached out to take the cup without waiting for the waiter to put it on the table.
The waiter also didn’t have any intention of putting the cup on the table and directly handed it to Nanny Sun.
The act of receiving the cup lasted for roughly thirty seconds before the two of them separated.
The waiter politely took half a step back, bowed slightly at Auntie Sun, and left.
Lin jiage clearly noticed that the waiter’s right hand was clenched into a fist.
Auntie Sun passed the cup over to old Mister Lin, and old Mister Lin took half a sip as a symbolic gesture. After which, as if he had just recovered from his shock, he glanced at Auntie Sun, and Auntie Sun nodded at Old Mister Lin without batting an eyelid, then, Old Mister Lin continued eating as if nothing had happened.
After about five minutes of calm, old Mister Lin looked at the empty cup in front of him. “Eh? There’s no juice left?”
Nanny sun hurriedly said, “I’ll get someone to deliver it right away.”
Then, it was nanny sun who called for the waiter.
The Juice was freshly squeezed. After about ten minutes, the waiter came in with the juice that had already been poured into the cup.
She first placed the juice in front of everyone, then she took away the cups that had been used in front of everyone.
Before leaving the room, she politely asked, “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Old Mr. Lin pointed at the bottom of the crab roe tofu in front of him and said, “This tofu is not bad. One more serving.”
“Alright, Old Mister Lin,”the waiter replied respectfully before leaving the room.
Lin Jiage knew that the juice in front of him and Shi Yao was a fruit juice that had been tampered with. He also knew that since his grandfather had arranged everything, there had to be a way.., so, he asked Shi Yao and him to drink all of the fruit juice into their stomachs.
Pretending as if he didn’t know anything, he continued eating leisurely. Around four minutes later, old Mister Lin suddenly suggested that everyone drink a cup of fruit juice instead of wine.
Lin Jiage:”...”
So, he was overthinking things.
His grandfather’s method of making him and Shi Yao drink this fruit juice was so simple that... they didn’t even need to use their brains.
Naturally, no one would reject old Mister Lin’s suggestion. The whole table of people stopped talking and also stopped moving their chopsticks, and they all picked up their glasses of fruit juice.
After clinking their glasses, everyone raised their heads and began drinking.
Including Shi Yao.
Lin jiage raised his blanket and stared at Shi Yao from the corner of his eye as she drank half a cup of the problematic juice. Only then did he turn his gaze away, raise his head, and drink half a cup of juice as well.
After putting down their cups, everyone chatted while eating. After which, old Mister Lin called for everyone to clink their cups again.
Just like that, in less than ten minutes, Shi Yao’s juice was depleted.
After putting down his cup, old Mister Lin glanced at Shi Yao’s empty cup before asking auntie sun, “Oh right, where’s the dish I added? Why hasn’t it been served yet?”
Auntie sun: “Old Mister, I’ll hurry it up right away.”
After which, Auntie Sun called for the waiter.
Soon, the waiter brought the crab roe tofu into the private room. When she served the dish, it was served between Shi Yao and Lin Jiage. It was unknown whether it was due to her lack of stability, but when the plate passed between Shi Yao and Lin Jiage.., she accidentally flipped the plate, and the crab roe tofu spilled all over Shi Yao and Lin Jiage.
