Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 354: I made these dumplings just for this little bit of vinegar!
Bai Ling did indeed travel to the future and visit Ximen Lang's home.

Not only did she visit, she even spent a whole day in Simon Lang's 400-square-meter apartment without any restrictions, exploring every corner and noting down all the details.

So, as soon as the video call connected, Bai Ling immediately sensed something was wrong when she saw the unfamiliar room layout in front of her.

And something is very wrong!
But after all, this was something she tacitly approved, and even something she expected.

So, at first, Bai Ling wasn't very angry.

She didn't even feel anything; she was very calm and indifferent. Bai Ling simply accepted the result that Ximen Lang and Xia Yiyi had gotten together.

until
Xia Yiyi did this to her right in front of her, just like it was a real event.

This made Bai Ling a little unhappy.

After all, who doesn't know who?

We're all seasoned foxes; how could we possibly fool Bai Ling with these tricks?
Especially since Bai Ling had already gotten a pretty good idea of ​​Xia Yiyi's situation from Ximen Lang through subtle hints!

He also casually made a few home-style dishes, and if you didn't like them, just tell him and he'd make you another one.
A while ago, Ximen Lang complained to himself that Xia Yiyi couldn't even make instant noodles properly, but today she can do it according to the standards of an industry expert.
Who are you trying to fool?!

The tea flavor was so strong that even Bai Ling, who was watching on the screen, felt nauseous!
So, I didn't spoil her at all.

Seeing that Xia Yiyi was actually trying to take advantage of her, Bai Ling immediately became sarcastic and sarcastic.

"Wow, you know what, this meal is really quite lavish! And the dishes even look incredibly realistic. Seriously, if you didn't tell me you made it, I would have thought it was made by some master chef!"

"Especially the presentation! It's exactly the same as what you get in fancy restaurants, like they were made from the same mold! Amazing, sister, your cooking skills are truly incredible! Unlike me, I can only cook a few simple home-style dishes and make something like braised beef in a pot. I can't compare to you at all!"

Good heavens, that sarcastic tone made Xia Yiyi blush visibly.

I think Xia Yiyi is really getting out of control; she can't even tell the difference between king and queen anymore.

Bai Ling promptly added another sentence.

"Why isn't there braised eggplant or scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Ah Lang loves those! Here, Ah Lang, take the equipment and let Yi Yi cook one for you right away."

"After that, I'll follow along and learn properly, and see if I can learn anything. I don't need much, just learning 30% of my sister's skills will be enough for me."

Xia Yi was so frustrated that she was caught in a dilemma: whether to go or not.

The two had barely met when they inexplicably started arguing again.

Since they were all his own wings, and he couldn't bear to hurt either of them, Ximen Lang decisively stepped forward and smoothed things over.

"Alright, alright, what's going on here? Bai Ling, she was just putting on an act, why are you being so aggressive! And you, Yi Yi, I already told Bai Ling about your cooking skills and what's really going on. Why are you still doing this? What were you thinking?"

Both sides were given equal blame, and the dispute was finally brought to an end.

Turning my head, I saw that Bai Ling had eaten a very light meal that evening.

It was even a bit shabby.

Forget about big fish and meat dishes, or delicacies from land and sea, there's hardly any meat at all.

Feeling sorry for his wife, Ximen Lang immediately went online and commented.

"What's going on? Why are you eating this for dinner? There's not even a trace of oil in the dish. How can this be okay? What about the food in the fridge? Are you done with it? If you're done, no problem, we'll go buy some more. We're not short of money!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang immediately shouted out the names of his four henchmen.

Seeing that even after Ximen Lang had arrived, he still cared about her food and drink, Bai Ling felt a warm glow in her heart and quickly waved her hand to stop Ximen Lang from calling out.

"Alright, it's late, don't call them anymore. It's me. I've been eating too much good food lately, I'm tired of it, I just want to change things up. It has nothing to do with anything else, it's not about the money."

After saying this, he saw that Ximen Lang did not believe him at all.

Unfortunately, Bai Ling, who had made all these dumplings because of this little bit of vinegar, could only explain to Ximen Lang and Xia Yiyi in a very affected and reserved manner.

Whether a meal is delicious or not, whether you enjoy it or not, sometimes you can't just look at whether there's a table full of delicacies, you also have to look at who you're eating with.

"Of course, this meal definitely won't meet the standard I mentioned. But that lunch, that lunch, I'll never forget the taste of it for the rest of my life, let me tell you!"

Their mannerisms and expressions were so exaggerated!
Ximen Lang was about to voice his doubts
"No, is it really as exaggerated as you say? Something worth reminiscing about for a lifetime? Isn't that absurd?"

Before Ximen Lang could even voice his doubts, Xia Yiyi, who had already fully grasped the meaning of Bai Ling's words, began to breathe rapidly.

Seriously, it's no exaggeration to say that Xia Yiyi's eyes were red with envy and jealousy.

It was only at this moment that she finally understood.

Bai Ling's call so late wasn't about checking up on me at all.

That's right, she came all this way just to show off to me!

Xia Yiyi was so envious that she was directly envious of plasmolysis.

After Bai Ling's explanation, Ximen Lang belatedly realized why Bai Ling had said that.
"So, it was because of those cars that you managed to sneak in with Lao Luo. You even got a meal, and you ate with several high-ranking officials?"

Seeing that Ximen Lang was truly savvy, not only did he quickly understand the essence of his whole scheme, but he also came up with a very accurate explanation.

He imagined it so perfectly, what else could Bai Ling say?

He decisively took out the fountain pen that he had been showing off on his chest for a long time without the two of them noticing.

Bai Ling continued.

"Not only that! See this pen? Not only did I get a free meal there with Lao Luo, but I also received all sorts of compliments and was presented with this pen that the leader always carries. I really feel unworthy of it, truly unworthy!"

His affected manner was so unbearable that even Ximen Lang, let alone Xia Yiyi, found it hard to watch.

Feeling frustrated.
"Why did I have to come back now of all times? Of all times, I could have come back! Now that's great, I'm done for, right?"

He couldn't help but discuss it with Bai Ling.

"Ling'er, I think this fountain pen suits my style quite well, could you..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Bai Ling rejected him decisively.

And said.
"What are you thinking? At most, I'll let you touch it right under my nose. Give it to you? No way! Absolutely not!"

They were so envious of Ximen Lang and Xia Yiyi.

This also allowed Bai Ling to indulge in showing off.

Finally, after rambling on for so long, Bai Ling finally got down to business.

That is.
"The Type 022 missile boat issue is settled; we agree to your request!"
