I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 286 - 276: The Reply, Favoring Gu Xiaoxiao (Part 2)
Jiang Mingyue: "..." Well, this works too!
"I’ll bring a few jars over for you."
Wang Tiezhu stood upright, not even glancing around, unusually honest.
Jiang Mingyue extended her spiritual power, coincidentally witnessing this scene. Initially planning to give only two jars, she ended up carrying out six jars. Additionally, she gave Wang Tiezhu a serving of pepper chicken and pepper rabbit to eat. Wang Tiezhu was elated, deducted the wine money, collected the payment, and happily returned to Granny Shi’s place.
Jiang Mingyue placed the spices and such into space all at once, starting to process the beef bought a few days prior, turning it all into beef jerky, with sweet and spicy flavors, then wrapped them in oil paper and boxed them.
She went to the rose garden, picked some rose petals, made some anti-crack rose essential oil, bottled it, no need to write usage and function as that individual would understand just by smelling. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Along with a letter, she sent a package to the nearest postal on Magpie Street.
The postal clerk, seeing her with such a large box, wanted to remind her that postage is expensive, only to see the girl take out a wad of money from her pocket.
Postal clerk: "..." The poor one seems to be herself.
After sending the package to Yan Jinzhi, Jiang Mingyue went to the department store to wait for her cousin.
Casually arranged to meet Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Yueyue, you’re here?" Gu Xiaoxiao perked up, but one could still see her exhaustion.
Since there were no customers now, Jiang Mingyue went up to chat with her for a bit.
"Did you go thieving last night?"
Gu Xiaoxiao pouted, "Little Mingyue, I’m already so pathetic, and you’re still teasing me. Are we even friends?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course, we’re friends. So, Xiao Xiao, could you tell me what happened last night? Did you go on a date with someone?"
"Pfft!" Thanks to Jiang Mingyue’s humorous banter, much of Gu Xiaoxiao’s gloominess dissipated.
"Are you free tonight? My treat. Let’s eat at the state-run restaurant."
"Sure!"
So, Jiang Mingyue didn’t wait for her brother but was taken away by Gu Xiaoxiao first.
Happening to go to Orchid Restaurant where Shen Tingsong was.
"Hey! You two are playing together behind my back, so unfair!"
"Well, you’re the waiter. Otherwise, why don’t you quit your job?"
Shen Tingsong pouted, "You two are truly good friends, pulling me into trouble!"
"Haha!"
"Sit here by the window, I can chat with you two."
"Can you eat? We ordered, and you can join us."
"No, the manager has rules. Don’t worry, I won’t starve at the restaurant, you don’t need to worry about me."
"Yueyue, order the dishes."
"If I can rip you off, I definitely won’t hold back," Jiang Mingyue chuckled, "Braised pork."
"Not available."
"Braised fish."
"Not available."
"Fried ribs."
"Not available."
Jiang Mingyue squinted at Shen Tingsong, who surrendered, "I’m just joking. Do you really want these three dishes?"
"I was joking too, just fried ribs will do."
Gu Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Don’t skimp on me, you can order all of them." She patted her pocket; she had money.
"I was deliberately teasing you. Braised pork is too greasy, and I don’t feel like having braised fish, just fried ribs will do, also add a serving of stir-fried asparagus. Two bowls of rice."
"No, no, no, that’s not enough! Tingsong, please add more..."
"Tsk! You’re here eating and drinking lavishly without me?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice came from behind.
No need to ask, you know it’s her brother.
"Well, Xiao Xiao, someone is here to treat us. Feel free to order, my brother is loaded."
Jiang Ming’an: "... Really making a scapegoat out of your brother?"
"Otherwise, what’s your purpose for being here?"
Listening to all this playful banter, Gu Xiaoxiao’s gloomy mood completely dissipated, feeling delighted, she greeted Jiang Ming’an and Jiang Ming’an’s companion, Xie Yunhai.
Elbowing Jiang Mingyue: Why are these two handsome guys inseparable?
Jiang Mingyue: "..." See, anyone with eyes can see their peculiarity.
Shen Tingsong wasn’t meeting them for the first time, as this handsome guy often came to see Jiang Ming’an, and moreover, they attended Jiang Jian Country’s wedding.
"Cousin, what do you want to eat? I’ll have Chef Huo make them for you."
Jiang Mingyue: "... Seems like he’s my cousin, though."
Shen Tingsong waved his hand, "Same, same, yours isn’t ours, is it?"
Gu Xiaoxiao knew this person was in charge, unlike Shen Tingsong she’s not as open, but now she can only play along, "Cousin, my treat, feel free to order." With a chance to impress in front of the boss, Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to make a good impression.
Jiang Mingyue was left speechless.
Jiang Ming’an gave Jiang Mingyue a triumphant glance: Look, your cousin is such a hot commodity.
