Chapter 1
Rose Mung Bean Pastry
Seeing that Bai Yinuo had no other choice, he looked at Ding Lin, who was waiting, and said, "Young lady, I'm really sorry. I really want to eat this pepper chicken; I've been longing for it for a long time. Can you yield this chicken to me?"
If it were ordinary food, Ding Lin felt she could immediately yield the chicken to Elder Su based on the basic principle of respecting the elderly.
But the fragrant and numbing aroma from the kitchen kept lingering in her nose, waking up all her greedy cravings. It felt as if a little kitten was scratching her heart, and her mind couldn't think of anything else, so she didn't want to yield this chicken to anyone else at all.
Ding Lin had no choice but to apologize apologetically, "Grandpa, I also want to eat this chicken, so I really can't yield it to you. I'm truly sorry."
Elder Su leaned on his cane and sighed, "Sigh, it's only natural that you don't yield it to me. You arrived before me, so this chicken originally belonged to you. I was the one who made an unreasonable request. So you don't need to say these words to me. Thank you!"
"But you really have a good eye. The pepper chicken in this diner is truly delicious. An old man like me, who can't even eat meat normally, can still eat it."
Hearing that Elder Su couldn't even eat meat, Ding Lin's heart tightened slightly.
Combined with Elder Su's pitiful expression and his ordinary, brandless clothes, Ding Lin couldn't help but feel compassion.
"Grandpa, I'll yield this chicken to you."
Who would have expected this? When Elder Su heard her words, his sad expression vanished, and he happily nodded, so fast that Ding Lin almost couldn't react.
As if afraid that Ding Lin would regret it, Elder Su quickly took his mobile phone out of his pants pocket to scan the QR code in front of the cash register.
Just as Elder Su was about to pay for the chicken, he was stopped by Ding Lin.
Ding Lin looked at Elder Su's latest mobile phone worth tens of thousands, and she said in surprise, "Grandpa, and yet you said you couldn't eat meat? If I remember correctly, your mobile phone is the latest model, priced at 34,999 yuan."
Ding Lin looked closely again. After Elder Su turned to the side, indeed, the ordinary-looking clothes directly revealed the logo of a luxury brand.
"Ah? I don't know either. My son bought it for me, I don't know the price." Elder Su opened his eyes wide, looking innocent.
However, Ding Lin had trained a pair of sharp, fiery eyes after accumulating experience from every battle of wits with her son at home.
Seeing Elder Su's feigned innocence, she immediately realized she had been tricked. It turned out this uncle was not a poor old man in need of help, but an actor.
Recalling what Elder Su had just said, it was truly taking a step back to advance.
Ding Lin would never have thought that she could see the words "smug satisfaction" on an old man like this.
Ding Lin: "..."
She immediately said, "Boss lady, I don't want to yield this chicken to this uncle anymore. Please pack this chicken for me."
Seeing his plan about to fail and the chicken about to fly into someone else's mouth, Elder Su tapped his cane anxiously: "What's wrong with you, comrade? Didn't you just say you would yield this chicken to me?"
"That was because at that time, I didn't know your mobile phone was more expensive than my handbag, and you even said something about 'not being able to eat meat'. You are already so old, yet you still go around tricking people, hmph."
"I really didn't lie, it really is hard for me to eat meat," Elder Su said.
It was indeed hard for him to eat meat.
"Haha, do you think I believe you?" Ding Lin didn't believe Elder Su at all.
