After rebirth, the vicious girlfriend begged for mercy

That's right!

If Benson is compared with Huo Jun, the born second-rate guy.

There is absolutely no comparison with Huo Jun.

So Chen Lin accepted Benson's invitation without hesitation.

A newly opened high-end coffee shop.

It is said that the minimum consumption here was two or three months' salary of an ordinary person at that time.

The vain Chen Lin had tried many times to trick Li Mei into bringing her in to sit with her.

But Li Mei always refused on the grounds that she didn't like drinking the bitter medicine.

Chen Lin was unwilling to give in.

He even tried to persuade Li Mei by using the idea of ​​worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners since the reform and opening up.

It is said that people of status nowadays eat Western food, drink coffee, etc.

As a way to reflect personal value.

Because eating Western food and drinking coffee is not simply eating Western food and drinking coffee.

That is eating is a ritual.

Drinking is a matter of taste.

When talking about Chinese food culture, there is no such sense of ritual and taste.

Li Mei couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Chen Lin asked Li Mei in some confusion what she was laughing at.

Li Mei smiled and explained:

"Chinese food can also be very ceremonial. But in the Chinese food ceremony, you, Chen Lin, are not worthy of eating at the table at all."

Chen Lin heard it.

A painful picture immediately appeared on her face.

I have the impression that whenever my father invited friends to our house for dinner.

She and her mother were indeed scolded by her father and were not allowed to eat at the table together.

The mother and daughter could only carefully place a small stool in the kitchen.

Then they squat on the ground facing each other and eat.

Chen Lin was still young at that time.

I won’t say anything if I can’t stay there.

I still can't hold on to my job securely.

I accidentally dropped the ceramic bowl and broke it.

When his father heard the noise, he came over and angrily scolded Chen Lin for being a money-loser.

If her mother hadn't protected her.

The father's angry fists and kicks fell on Chen Lin.

So in Chen Lin’s understanding.

My mother just doesn't know how to resist.

Eventually, he died from these decadent feudal ideas.

So she snorted coldly and argued bitterly:

"The so-called ritual sense of Chinese food you mentioned is nothing more than the dregs of feudal ideas that remain in the new society. So it can't be considered a ritual sense at all."

Li Mei sneered and said:

"What a joke! We are a country of etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years. Those so-called Western food culture and etiquette are mostly left over from our ancestors. In the end, they felt outdated and stopped practicing. That's why they learned them back like treasures."

Chen Lin is not good at history.

Of course I don’t know this.

That's why I said stubbornly during Li Mei's statement:

"Why do you say that?"

Li Mei glanced at Chen Lin with contempt.

She did not answer Chen Lin's question.

Instead, she continued with what she had said before:

"Nowadays, these so-called Western food cultures have returned to China with the help of the reform and opening-up policy. You ignorant youngsters actually regard them as a symbol of noble status and taste. This is really ridiculous!"

Chen Lin still questioned unconvinced:

"You...what makes you say I'm ridiculous?"

Li Mei looked at Chen Lin and shook her head helplessly and said:

"You still dare to say that you are not ridiculous? You really have no limit to your worship of foreign things."

"I am a Western worshiper?"

Chen Lin thought about it carefully and realized that she was indeed a bit worshipful of foreign things.

So she accepted it calmly and continued:

"I just worship foreign things. Chinese dining rules are just red tape that should be abolished. Western dining culture represents elegance and romance."

Li Mei heard this.

He let out a long sigh with some helplessness.

She shook her head again and said:

"I really don't understand why. It's the same dining culture. When you are asked to follow the rules of Chinese cuisine, you insist that those rules are red tape that should be abolished."

Chen Lin seemed not to understand what Li Mei said.

So with some stubbornness, he said:

"That's what it is!"

Li Mei didn't pause.

She continued what she had said before:

"But when faced with Western dining rules, you praise their rules as the epitome of elegance. You...what can I say about you?"

Li Mei really wanted to accuse Chen Lin of double standards.

But this term is not popular nowadays.

If she expressed it directly.

Maybe Chen Lin will notice it.

Chen Lin put on an impatient expression and said:

"That's enough. Really! If you don't want to take me out for a cup of coffee, forget it. I didn't force you to go. You keep talking so much nonsense. It's really annoying! Do you know that?"

Li Mei couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, Wow!

Chen Lin could actually speak of such things so confidently.

At first glance!

Not knowing the truth of the matter.

You will definitely think that it is all Li Mei's fault.

So we have to say that Chen Lin is definitely a shameless talent.

Let’s talk about the present!

Benson politely handed the menu to Chen Lin and said:

"Just order whatever you want. You are Li Mei's best friend. I can't treat you badly."

Chen Lin took the menu but didn't look at it immediately.

Instead, he looked unhappy and put the menu aside.

Then he looked up at the other person and said:

"Sir, I don't like what you said."

Benson has just learned Chinese.

Naturally, I couldn't fully understand what Chen Lin meant.

So he asked with some humility:

"Miss Chen, from what you said, did I say something wrong? Please enlighten me."

This is exactly Benson’s attitude that Chen Lin wants.

She suppressed the joy in her heart.

Then he said in a serious tone:

"Benson, according to what you said before. If I am not Li Mei's best friend, then am I not worthy of sitting here and drinking coffee with you?"

Benson suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what Chen Lin said.

He just said "no".

He wanted to explain next that he didn't mean what Chen Lin thought.

After all, he had just learned Chinese not long ago.

His oral fluency is far inferior to Chen Lin's.

So his words were interrupted by Chen Lin.

I could only watch and listen to Chen Lin say:

"If that's the case, I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

While talking.

Chen Lin pretended to stand up from his seat.

In Benson's opinion, it was Chen Lin who was about to leave him angry.

He was worried that Chen Lin would leave so easily.

It is bound to affect the development of the relationship between him and Li Mei.

So he could never let Chen Lin leave easily.

So Benson immediately stood up and ran two steps to stop Chen Lin.

At the same time, I was worried and nervous, so I admitted my mistake and said "I'm sorry".

Then he lowered his posture and said words of supplication.

I pray that Chen Lin must stay.

Chen Lin saw Benson fell into her trap.

I was secretly happy!

But he still tried his best to pretend to be aloof and contemptuous of all morals and said:

"Let's make it clear first. This is you simply asking me to stay. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

The "others" here refers to Li Mei.

Benson quickly agreed:

"Yes, you are right. I was the one who asked you to stay. It has nothing to do with others."

He simply said it according to Chen Lin's meaning.

It will definitely make Chen Lin happy!

But I don’t fully understand Chen Lin’s real intention in expressing this.

Chen Lin achieved his goal.

There was a triumphant smile on her face.

At Benson's gentlemanly invitation, he sat back in his original seat.

Then she pretended to be elegant, picked up the menu she had just put aside and started ordering.

to be frank.

Chen Lin was very grateful from the bottom of her heart to Li Mei who often took her to some high-end occasions.

Naturally, I know some basic etiquette for ordering Western food.

Now it was fully demonstrated in front of Benson.

At one point, Benson felt that Chen Lin and Li Mei were both very well-educated ladies.

I feel very honored to have encountered them.
