Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 129 - Go Away, You Rascal

Eating, drinking, and chatting...these were the things that were going on in the private room.

But, it was unfortunate for Sheng Jiaoyang that Ms Zhao had a heavy taste and ordered a table full of spicy dishes. Covered with red and yellow chilli peppers, the dish with the big fish head on top appeared extremely spicy.

She'd just gone to the lavatory to wash her hands, and by the time she came back, Ms Zhao had already placed the order.

The corner of her eyes were twitching as she stared at the dishes being served. She suddenly recalled that last hotpot meal and felt as if that numb and spicy sensation remained on her taste buds. She didn't dare move her chopsticks.

"Xiao Lei, didn't you grow up in Canada? How come you like this kind of spicy food? If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that you were from Hunan or Sichuan," President Shi said with a smile as he stared at the table full of dishes.

"My Mother is from Hunan, so I've been eating spicy food since I was just a little kid. Uncle Shi, as you know, Canada is very cold, and spicy food can keep me warm. It protects me from the cold," Zhao Lei's hand didn't stop as she continued to eat and talk. Her bowl was already half-stuffed with the Red Pepper Steamed Fish Head.

"My daughter has the same taste as her mother. If you're not used to these spicy dishes, we can order a few extra light-flavoured dishes," President Zhao said.

"It's okay, it's getting colder at this hour anyways, and eating spicy food can keep us warm. It's perfect," President Li said with a smile.

Zhao Lei suddenly grabbed the serving chopsticks and added a piece of fish meat into Sheng Jiaoyang's bowl. The two of them happened to be sitting next to each other, so it was very convenient for her to give her food.

"Miss Xu, I saw you staring at this dish several times. Don't worry and just eat your fill. Hurry and give it a try, this restaurant is quite authentic," Zhao Lei said.

As Sheng Jiaoyang stared at that large piece of fish meat with chilli peppers in her bowl, she suddenly felt nauseous.

Why did she suddenly feel a sense of deja vu?

A smile was hidden in the recesses of Zhao Lei's eyes. She'd noticed that Xu Jiaojiao couldn't handle spicy food when the dishes were served. "Come on, this Chilli Chicken is also very delicious. Quickly try it!" She directly scooped a spoonful of chicken with chilli sauce into the other's bowl.

"Xiao Lei, why are you so enthusiastic? Your actions must've given Miss Xu a fright," President Zhao said.

"I haven't had any female friends since I returned home from abroad. Miss Xu seems to be a very amiable person and I want to be friends with her!" Zhao Lei replied, acting slightly spoiled.

"Alright, alright, but you still have to ask Miss Xu if she can handle spicy food," President Zhao responded dotingly, having absolutely no principles in front of his daughter.

"President Shen could eat the pickled peppers without any issue, so I'm sure that Miss Xu, as his girlfriend, can handle spicy food as well. Otherwise, how can they live together if they have different tastes? Isn't that right, Miss Xu?" Zhao Lei's lips slightly curled as she glanced in Sheng Jiaoyang's direction with schadenfreude hidden in her eyes.

Sheng Jiaoyang wanted to roll her eyes at Ms Zhao, and just as she was about to say something in rebuttal, a hand reached out and took her bowl away. She turned around and saw Shen Zhining pouring all of the spicy food into his own bowl.

At the same time, everyone stared at him in silence.

Shen Zhining calmly washed the bowl clean with tea and placed it back in front of Sheng Jiaoyang. Facing everyone, he said, "She needs to shoot a commercial tomorrow, so it's not suitable for her to eat spicy food today."
