Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 385 Broken Dream

Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e's mood became bad. He Yuzhu had never mentioned this matter. She made an extra note for him in the little notebook and decided to settle the score with him when she got back.

"Yeah." Ye Ying nodded.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked, "How did you two know each other?"

"This one……"

In fact, the reason for the meeting was very secretive and could not be explained in just a few words. Although as He Yuzhu's wife she had nothing to hide, she was worried that Kana and Keiko, who had ulterior motives, might be listening.

Thinking of this, Ye Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. He was promoting instant noodles in Japan, so we took the initiative to find him for cooperation and obtained the regional agency rights for instant noodles."

"Oh……"

Lou Xiao'e nodded, appearing calm on the surface, but she felt even more unhappy in her heart.

Ye Ying's answer just now was obviously hesitant.

This means her answer could be false.

the other side.

Kana and Keiko listened quietly and neither of them spoke.

At this time, Kana also thought that not knowing Chinese was a good idea, so as to avoid direct communication with Lou Xiaoe. After He Yuzhu left, this awkward situation of having nothing to say was not so embarrassing because of the language barrier.

Yukiko Nakamori was also listening to them, but she didn't understand a word and was very curious about what they were talking about. So she pulled Keiko and asked quietly.

Jingzi roughly translated it for her.

After listening to this, Yukiko Nakamori felt a little depressed, and her guess became more and more certain.

It turns out that He Yuzhu also knows Ye Ying.

This adds another layer of connection between the two identities. Is this just a coincidence?

Why would Ye Ying tell lies? It's obvious that she wants to cover up something.

Lou Xiao'e originally wanted to find out from her something about He Yuzhu's situation in Japan.

Now this idea has been dispelled, because even if I ask, Ye Ying’s words may not be trustworthy.

However, you can still ask other questions.

Lou Xiao'e turned to Kana and Keiko with a smile.

"How did you and He Yuzhu get to know each other? Was it because of the instant noodle agency?"

This time, before Lou Xiao'e could urge her, He Sisi took the initiative to help translate.

"Yes……"

Kana nodded seriously, "The instant noodles promoted by Mr. He taste very good and are very popular in Japan."

"It is for this reason that my company has started in-depth cooperation with Mr. He. This is also why I came to the Red Country."

Beside her, Ye Ying looked at Kana with a puzzled look.

She knew that Kana could speak Red Mandarin, but she pretended not to understand and asked someone to help translate. This behavior was really strange.

Moreover, he is not willing to reveal how he met He Yuzhu, which is very suspicious.

Ye Ying was not a gossipy person, so even though she felt it was strange, she didn't say much.

But she was thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to He Yuzhu about Kana.

"She said that they met because of the instant noodles agency. She came to the Red Country on behalf of the company and was responsible for ensuring that the instant noodles sold to Japan met the quality standards..." He Sisi gave a simple translation.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, then turned to Nakamori Yukiko and asked, "What about this person? Did she also know He Yuzhu in Japan?"

After He Sisi's translation, Yukiko Nakamori replied politely:

"Mr. He is very famous in Japan. I have seen him on TV and in newspapers."

"Today is the first time we officially meet."

He Sisi said simply: "This is the first time we met. We didn't know each other before."

Lou Xiao'e smiled at Nakamori Yukiko to show her understanding, but she did not fully believe it in her heart.

After all, she is not a naive girl who would not believe everything others say.

but.

This did not lead to speculation that Kana and Yukiko Nakamori had any special relationship with their men.

The reason was simple. Her husband hadn't even graduated from elementary school, let alone learned Japanese. It was difficult to communicate with him, so how could anything happen?

Relatively speaking, if there is really something to doubt.

Jingzi and Yeying, who understand the red national language, are obviously more suspicious.

Especially Ye Ying, who just deliberately concealed the truth. In addition, her appearance is obviously better than Jingzi, which makes her even more suspicious.

however.

Lou Xiao'e did not immediately jump to conclusion and suspect anyone. It was just out of instinctive vigilance.

It's a perfectly normal attitude to be wary of all the pretty women that hang around your man.

She knew her husband's character very well and knew he would never cheat on her. But that didn't mean other women wouldn't have that thought.

No matter what method is used to seduce a woman, any man can be tempted.

Although her husband is an honest man, he is also an ordinary man and may be attracted to others.

Ran Qiuye was the best example in the past, and I don’t want such a situation to happen again.

You have to be more careful.

Soon, the food was served.

Lou Xiao'e naturally invited everyone to enjoy the food, and then pretended to be concerned and asked: "Are you all still single? Do you have someone you like?"

"If there is no suitable candidate for the time being, I can help introduce one. The men in our country are reliable, hardworking, and caring, and they are very suitable for living together."

He Sisi frowned helplessly and helped translate.

After hearing this, Yukiko Nakamori quickly shook her head and said politely: "Thank you, actually I am already married, and my husband is also from our country."

This answer is indeed quite unexpected.

Seeing how sensible Nakamori Yukiko was, Lou Xiao'e liked her even more and said with a smile, "That's a pity, but your choice is still a good one."

"So what does your husband do for a living? If there's a chance, I'd like to invite you to have dinner together."

"thank you very much."

After He Sisi translated, Yukiko Nakamori expressed her gratitude again, "He is very busy at work, but if we can make time, we will definitely come to the appointment." She added in her heart that perhaps this opportunity would never come up.

"Well, it's settled then."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, enthusiastically asking Nakamori Yukiko to eat more food. "Try this, it's delicious. The chefs here are very good, and every dish tastes great..."

Kana, who was standing by, heard these conversations and recalled what Lou Xiao'e had said before and her current attitude, and immediately understood something. So she lowered her head and said shyly, "Ms. Lou, thank you for your kindness. I'm already engaged in Japan, and my fiancé is also a Chinese living in Japan."

This situation also made Lou Xiao'e feel good.

"Don't call me Ms. Lou, it's too formal, just call me Sister Xiao'e..."

With the help of He Sisi's translation, Lou Xiao'e had a pleasant conversation with Kana and Nakamori Yukiko, which made Jingzi, the official translator, unnecessary.

In contrast, Ye Ying doesn't like to chat much, and apart from eating in silence, she has basically no sense of existence.

It was not until the end that everyone realized that although Jingzi was neither engaged nor married, she already had a lover.

And I heard that Ye Ying will return to Japan in a day or two.

Now Lou Xiao'e was even happier.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

When He Yuzhu estimated that it was about the same time and came back, he was very surprised when he saw this scene.

"Why did you come back now? Where have you been?"

Lou Xiao'e responded with an unhappy look on her face.

She originally thought that her husband went out to help cook some dishes, but after tasting them, she knew that was not the case at all.

"I just remembered that I haven't reported the matter about Kana and Keiko to the higher authorities yet, so I made a phone call and handled some necessary procedures..." He Yuzhu explained.

Lou Xiao'e said nothing more, pulled him to sit down, and served him a lot of dishes.

On the other side, He Yuzhu didn't say much, but just looked at Yukiko Nakamori who was concentrating on eating with her head down and not even showing her face.

At this moment, Kana took a quick look and didn't pay any more attention to it, fearing that her eyes would be misunderstood, so she turned and whispered to Keiko beside her.

Yukiko Nakamori didn't have so many concerns.

Silently watching He Yuzhu concentrating on eating, she felt even more depressed.

I originally thought that after arriving in the Red Country, the days ahead would be filled with warm and sweet companionship, and it would be a wonderful time where we would never be separated again.

Unexpectedly, reality gave her a huge blow.

Kana chose to compromise, so what decision should she make?

Yukiko Nakamori asked herself this question, but found no answer.

She didn't want to disturb the peaceful scene before her.

A husband, a wife and a little girl, the three of them look very happy. Why should they destroy such harmony?

Even though she knew that the man in front of her had an ex-wife and that he had an unclear relationship with Kana, and that the apparent family harmony was just an illusion, Yukiko Nakamori still didn't want to be the one who destroyed the family peace.

She remembered clearly how sad her mother was when her father had another woman outside, and how she cried all day long.

She didn't want to become a woman who destroyed other people's happy families.

It was indeed me who took the initiative to approach him at that time, and the mistake I made was also caused by me.

Now, I just want to make everything right.

The wonderful life that I had been looking forward to has become a dream. I hope I never wake up from this dream.

Yukiko Nakamori sat opposite.

He Yuzhu was worried that she might notice something, so after taking a few bites of food, he suggested ending dinner early.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the box, Lou Xiao'e warmly invited Kana and the others to sit in the room together.

"I'm going to check out..."

He Yuzhu felt guilty, so he made this excuse and left quickly.

Yukiko Nakamori glanced at him inadvertently and her mood became a little heavy.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."

Ye Shan also said: "Me too."

"It's ok."

Lou Xiao'e responded with a smile, without forcing it, and then looked at Kana and Keiko.

In fact, Kana and Keiko were not very willing to go either.

Lou Xiao'e is He Yuzhu's wife, and as He Yuzhu's lover, the two are obviously irreconcilable. I really don't want to have much contact with her, but thinking about working in the same place in the future, it is not good to refuse directly.

So Kana and Keiko agreed.

They did not live on the same floor.

Everyone took the elevator together. Yukiko Nakamori greeted everyone politely and got off the elevator with Ye Ying first.

The two of them were walking in the corridor, and on the way, Ye Ying suddenly said, "You go back first, I need to make a phone call."

Yukiko Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Wait!"

"what happened?"

Ye Ying looked at her puzzledly.

Nakamori Yukiko bit her lip and said, "You mentioned yesterday that you wanted to go back to Japan. When is that? I want to go back with you, too."

"what!"
