Standing by, Rayne and Emily had different expressions when they saw Xia Chuyi and Uncle Baoshan.
Emily was very excited and said to Xia Chuyi, "Hi, Food God girl, your cooking must be simple yet super amazing, right? I’m really looking forward to it and rooting for you!"
Facing Emily’s enthusiasm, Xia Chuyi just wanted to think: Please stop setting up.
As for Rayne, when he looked at Xia Chuyi, his expression showed a slight disdain.
It was clear that Rayne really didn’t believe in Xia Chuyi.
At this mont, Uncle Baoshan suddenly said to Rayne, "Mr. Rayne, this is Xia Chuyi, she is the true heir of the culinary family from Z country—the Guan Family."
This was to tell Rayne not to be prejudiced against Xia Chuyi.
"Heir of the Guan Family?" Rayne looked at Xia Chuyi in disbelief.
The overseas branch of the Bao Family, although cut off from many dostic connections, was still quite familiar with so famous artisan families of the past.
With Uncle Baoshan’s words, Rayne’s arrogant attitude significantly softened.
Soon, as the food was served, everyone began to taste it one by one.
As soone who has tasted all kinds of delicacies from an early age, Rayne’s palate was no less discerning than Emily’s.
Yes, perhaps one can’t taste every subtle difference in dishes, but Rayne could tell that Xia Chuyi’s cooking was quite good.
After a while, Rayne nodded and said to Xia Chuyi, "Hmm, your culinary skills are indeed good, I apologize for my earlier prejudice."
Rayne’s quick apology to Xia Chuyi slightly surprised her.
"It’s okay." Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "My age and appearance do indeed make it easy for people to misunderstand."
Throughout, Xia Chuyi and the others spoke in English, so Emily could get the first-hand news.
"Rayne, see, I told you Xia is a Food God!" Emily said excitedly, "I surely have excellent taste!"
"Rayne, what do you think, should I take Xia to et my grandfather and them?" Emily said, "I want to prove to my grandfather and them that my appreciation for Z country culture is genuine! Plus, I really understand Z country culture!"
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but shake her head, breaking out in a cold sweat.
The way Emily casually calls her a "Food God" isn’t really suitable for Z country culture.
Z country people value humility more.
Even if one’s culinary skills are outstanding, they’d mostly just say, "Not at all."
However, observing the way Emily and Rayne interacted, Xia Chuyi thought that Rayne was not indifferent to Emily, and with Emily’s enthusiastic pursuit, it was only a matter of ti before she won Rayne over.
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Xia Chuyi.
At this mont, Rayne said, "Hmm, we can do that."
"Xia’s culinary skills are quite authentically Chinese, my grandfather should like it," Rayne said to Emily.
After speaking, he looked at Xia Chuyi and said, "Xia, when you are free, I’ll take you to et my grandfather."
"If my grandfather appreciates you, you could gain many benefits."
Xia Chuyi: ...
She just started to change her opinion about Rayne, and now she was reconsidering it again.
During this trip, although Xia Chuyi was sowhat puzzled, she more or less got the information she wanted, so she directly said, "Mr. Rayne, Miss Emily..."
"There is sothing I need to clarify," Xia Chuyi said solemnly, "First of all, while I do have culinary skills, I’m definitely not so ’Food God.’"
