Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1988: Chapter 1924: Such Good Acting Skills

Returning to the dining area, Pheng Fei immediately saw Chiang Xiao, and he felt a sense of relief.

Tina saw Chiang Xiao as if she had seen a ghost.

Everyone stood up, and Chiang Xiao followed suit, then looked at Tina, smiled, and even winked.

This was outright provocation! Provocation!

Tina was now even more convinced someone had betrayed her by releasing Chiang Xiao early; otherwise, how could this be?

But why would her people betray her? Was it possible Arthur had bought them off?

Does that mean Arthur knows about her manipulations today?

He even pretends as if nothing happened, truly a master at acting.

She never knew Arthur’s acting skills were this good!

Tina gritted her teeth but knew she couldn’t talk more about this, or who knew if Arthur had some trick waiting to bite her back?

She suppressed all her anger, still appearing as the gentle and graceful lady with a smile on her lips.

Chiang Xiao sneered silently.

You really can’t judge a book by its cover.

”Please sit down, I’m truly sorry for delaying everyone’s meal time.” Mr. Wen Li took the main seat, gently pressing his hand down, and then said to Green beside him, ”Let them serve the dishes immediately.”

”Yes.”

After sitting down, Mr. Wen Li also looked over at Chiang Xiao.

”Miss Chiang, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’m Wen Li.”

”Hello Mr. Wen Li, thank you for the opportunity to register. It’s nice to meet you, and the manor is really beautiful.”

”Haha, thank you.” Mr. Wen Li laughed, ”And thank you for allowing me to appreciate such wonderful paintings. I’m looking forward to your upcoming works.”

”I will paint with my heart.”

”Great, great.”

The simple conversation between Chiang Xiao and Mr. Wen Li stirred unrest in the hearts of some people, as it seemed to them Mr. Wen Li was indeed showing too much favor to Chiang Xiao. Earlier, he hadn’t taken the time to chat individually with any of them, only with Chiang Xiao?

However, in front of Mr. Wen Li, they didn’t dare express such emotions.

Soon, the dishes were gradually served.

”Today, we have invited Mr. Moka, the chef who once prepared private banquets for the prince. All these dishes are crafted by Mr. Moka. Please savor Mr. Moka’s culinary skills.”

A chef who had cooked for a prince?

It seems Mr. Wen Li’s status and power are indeed extraordinary.

During the meal time that followed, they didn’t speak much, quietly enjoying the meal.

The chef’s skills were indeed excellent, and Chiang Xiao was very satisfied with the meal, eating to her heart’s content. Wherever she goes, she never neglects her appetite.

She noticed Luna and another female painter ate very little, focused on their dining etiquette the entire time. Judging by the amount they ate, it was probably just enough for a Kitten, and she thought it seemed challenging.

She ate a lot, but her daily exercise burned plenty of calories, so she wasn’t worried about gaining weight.

A morning boxing routine alone burns a lot of calories.

After eating, the servants served fruit tea and brought them perfumes and essential oils.

The items were luxurious and exquisite.

During this time, Mr. Wen Li chatted with them quite a lot.

At three o’clock, the competition began.

In a section of the castle’s corridor, a semi-enclosed, semi-open Imperial Court-style corridor, thirteen easels were set up. The drawing boards and papers were ready, and a small table beside them held all the necessary painting tools like brushes, paints, and palettes.
