Chapter 693: Peeling Shrimp
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The dishes on these small plates were indeed eaten by Wei Ji and Wei Xuan in the past. It was just that the two siblings were usually far apart, so they did not know that the servants treated them differently.
Although he did not like Wei Ji and Wei Xuan, the servants were clearly bullying them. After all, the Wei Family did not lack food. They could afford to raise two useless people.
At the same time, Wei Hong didn’t understand. It was clearly his father who asked Lin Yin to stay for dinner. Couldn’t he have instructed her to pay attention? Even if his father didn’t say anything, butler Li had been working for the Wei family for so many years. Why was he so unreliable? Why did he do such a thing to make an outsider laugh?
However, now that there were outsiders around, it was not the time to hold them accountable. Wei Hong had a good eye and said, “You’re right. I did it on purpose. I specially got someone to prepare another dish for you. If you cause trouble again in the future, I’ll cut the dishes by half. I’ll even remove the shrimp and leave the shells for you to eat.”
Wang Xu glanced at Wei Ming tactfully. Seeing that Wei Ming didn’t react, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Such a matter of slapping Wei Ming’s face could appear, but it could not be said by their second branch.
Lin Yin looked at the dishes that Wei Wei looked at with disdain from afar, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions.
Ning Sheng came out to smooth things over and said with a smile, “Second
Brother, the next time you want to punish Ah Wei, you have to say it early. Otherwise, others will misunderstand.”
As she spoke, Ning Sheng smiled and sat at the side. She said, “Yinyin, don’t take it to heart. Ah Ji and Ah Xuan are sitting far away. When we were eating previously, we were afraid that the two of them wouldn’t be able to eat the dishes in front, so we specially placed every dish on small plates in front of them so that the two of them can eat it.’
As if afraid that Lin Yin would not believe her, Ning Sheng looked at Wei Xuan and asked kindly, “Ah Xuan, do you like to eat? Is your usual food delicious?”
Wei Xuan opened her round deer-like eyes and nodded. “I like to eat. It’s delicious!”
Lin Yin only smiled and said, “I’m just a guest. I’m just a classmate of Wei Ji who came to the Wei Family to freeload. I can eat anything.”
As Lin Yin spoke, she took the prawn that had its head bitten off from Wei Xuan’s hand and carefully peeled the shell for Wei Xuan before placing it on Wei Xuan’s plate.
Wei Xuan happily grabbed the prawn with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with relish.
Wei Yang walked past Wei Ying and handed Lin Yin a wet wipe. He said gently,
“Wipe your hands.”
Lin Yin took the wet wipe from Wei Yang’s hand with a happy expression and said calmly, “Thank you!”
Seeing that Lin Yin had accepted Wei Yang’s wet wipe, a smile appeared on Ning Sheng’s lips.
Wei Ying’s gossipy eyes instantly sized up Lin Yin and Wei Yang. She smiled and said, “Brother, you’re so considerate? Why don’t you open a packet of wet wipes for me too?”
Wei Ji was wiping Wei Xuan’s hands. When he heard Wei Ying’s words, he looked up at Wei Yang and Lin Yin. Then, he lowered his head again without saying anything and wiped the oil stains on Wei Xuan’s hands.
Wei Xuan grabbed another prawn with her other hand and casually handed it to
Lin Yin, looking at her with sparkling eyes.
The next second, the prawn juice landed on Lin Yin’s clothes.
Wei Ying exclaimed and quickly picked up a tissue to wipe Lin Yin’s face. She complained, “Ah Xuan, Yinyin is a guest. How can you always let a guest peel prawns for you? It’s rude! ”
Wei Ji hurriedly reached out and snatched the prawn from Wei Xuan’s hand. He said in a low voice, “Ah Xuan, if you want to eat it, I’ll peel it for you.”
As soon as Wei Ji finished speaking, the prawn in his hand was snatched away by Lin Yin again. Lin Yin smiled and said, “Wei Ji, your sister likes me. Are you jealous of me? I like to peel prawns for a cutie like Ah Xuan.”
Hearing Lin Yin call Wei Xuan Cutie, everyone’s gazes landed on the proud face and they shook their heads in unison. Lin Yin’s aesthetic taste was a little special.
As if his previous words had been verified, Wei Wei looked at Lin Yin in surprise. He felt that there was something wrong with Lin Yin’s aesthetic taste.
First, she liked a cripple like Wei Ji, then she liked a fool like Wei Xuan. Lin Yin’s taste was too unique.
Wei Wei shivered and ate his food silently with a pitiful expression on his face.
On the other side, Wei Ji’s hand was still in the position of peeling prawns, but his gaze landed on Lin Yin’s face. His expression was gentle and silent, and he did not move for a long time..
