Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Chapter 284 – 284 Die Here

284 Die Here

He already knew who they were.

“What's wrong?”

Mrs. Kong was puzzled to see him smile.

“It's fine. I have found a way to settle the bill.”

Mr. Kong was feeling playful so he decided to tease them. After making up his mind, he stroked his beard. Mrs. Kong was stunned. Did he have money with him?

Mrs. Kong was about to ask in detail when the other party raised his hand to stop her.

Helpless, she could only give up and watch quietly as he performed.

“Have you eaten?”

Xiaoguo rubbed her hungry stomach and asked.

Ruyi gestured for her to look towards the corner with her eyes and shook her head. “No.”

Xiaoguo didn't turn around. Thinking of the two people she had just seen, she realized that they were diners who were refusing to leave.

Although it was indeed not appropriate to eat while the customers were still around, they definitely had to eat since it was lunchtime. She was just helping to move house and was already feeling starved, let alone Ruyi, Qin Anming, and the others. They were kept busy all morning and would have to start working soon in the afternoon. They must be starving by now.

Xiaoguo was about to say that she was going to cook when she heard a voice behind her.

“Bill, please.”

When Ruyi heard this, her face lit up. She quickly put on a poker face in the next instant and walked forward.

“Yes… a total of sixty-five copper coins.”

Mr. Kong nodded and reached for money from his pocket. He touched his chest and sleeve at the same time. Mrs. Kong watched him perform from the side. To be honest, she didn't know what he was going to do. She felt that he was embarrassing himself.

The corners of Ruyi's lips were turning stiff. Why did she have a bad feeling about this?

Behind her, Xiaoguo also noticed something amiss. From the way he was fishing for money, it looked like he had no money.

Everyone was eagerly watching his actions. When he saw that he had everyone's attention, Mr. Kong retracted his hand and placed it on the table. Using his mature acting skills, he looked at Mrs. Kong in embarrassment. “Did you bring it?”

When Mrs. Kong heard this, although she didn't understand what he was up to, she still touched her pocket and shook her head. “No.”

It would be very far-fetched if Ruyi still could not tell. She had never encountered such a situation since she opened the shop. This was the first time, so she didn't quite know what to do.

This was something new to her— eating at a restaurant without bringing money.

The others also understood now. The couple was here for a free meal.

Xiaoguo took a serious look at the two of them. She looked at them from head to toe. The more she looked at them, the more familiar they looked.

White hair, white beard. An old couple that was dressed in clean, simple clothes. Although the style of their clothes was plain, the fabric didn't look cheap. They looked neat and well-groomed. After eating, the table still remained clean. There wasn't a single drop of soup stain on the table. The chopsticks were neatly placed beside the bowl with the tips facing inwards.

When she was helping to move at Mr. Kong's residence, she specially asked about Mr. and Mrs. Kong's attire. From the looks of it, the couple in front of her seemed to match the description. This was too much of a coincidence.

“No way…”

“There are all kinds of strange things in the world,” Qin Anming said softly, although this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

Xiaoguo didn't say anything. She just nodded and didn't explain. She continued to observe the elderly couple.

Suddenly, her eyes met Mr. Kong's. Then, he immediately looked away as if he had been scalded.

When he avoided her gaze, Xiaoguo could tell that there was something wrong. She recalled the moment when she first entered the house. If the other party was Mr. Kong, he must have heard their conversation. Was he trying to test her?

Was he trying to find out if she was really kind or pretending to be kind?

Xiaoguo was a little hesitant and uncertain. She had to observe and see how the situation developed.

“Miss, I'm really sorry. I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money…”

Mr. Kong's face was scrunched up suspiciously. He was squirming in embarrassment. Even the way he looked at Ruyi was a little… disgusting. Did he think that he looked cute wearing that look on his face?

Mrs. Kong was stunned by his actions. What was he trying to do? Was he trying to avoid paying for the meal by acting cute…?

At the thought of this, she had goosebumps all over her body. Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted. How old is he now? How shameless.

When Ruyi heard his words, she looked helpless and took a few steps back. What should she do?

She subconsciously looked at Qin Anming, and Qin Anming looked at Xiaoguo.

Mr. Kong followed their gaze and looked at Xiaoguo. He repeated his old trick and continued to look at her with his scrunched up face.

Mrs. Kong clenched her fists tightly, afraid that she would slap him in the face. At this moment, she really wanted to wake him up. “Your face might have been popular decades ago, but it really looks disgusting now!”

Xiaoguo burst out laughing. The famous Sage Kong was now pretending to be cute and trying to escape from paying. Just thinking about it made her laugh.

“Xiaoguo, what's wrong?”

Qin Anming worriedly helped the person who was about to collapse from laughter. He didn't know what had come over her suddenly. Has someone touched her funny bone?

The others also looked confused. Everyone was wondering why she found the situation so funny.

“Ruyi, let's have lunch.”

Xiaoguo held back her laughter. When Ruyi heard this, she secretly gestured to the couple beside her. She gave Xiaoguo a look. “What should we do?”

Xiaoguo looked at Mr. Kong, who was looking at her inquisitively. With a mischievous thought, she threw her head back and laughed evilly. Then she roared, “Shut the door!”

“Recently, we are running short of meat. Although this meat is a little old, it's still good for making soup. Hahaha…”

After her sudden schizophrenic act, not only did she frighten the two elderly persons, Ruyi and the others were also stunned on the spot.

“Sister Xiaoguo?”

Ruyi called out to her hesitantly. She looked like she was about to say something, Xiaoguo was getting excited and was not done with teasing the couple. Naturally, she needed their cooperation. Hence, she winked at the others frantically.

Qin Anming was the first to receive the signal. He came back to his senses immediately and cooperated.

“That's right. Old meat makes the best soups…”

Ruyi trembled when she heard this. She looked at them in disbelief. What was going on?

Although Qin Anming didn't know Xiaoguo's intentions, he knew that she had her reasons. He just had to help her with it.

Ling Long, Fu'er, Uncle Xu, and Xiao Cui all cooperated in a daze. Ruyi was confused. What was wrong with them? When did they start being cannibals?

Xiaoguo gave Ruyi a look and asked her to bring Zhuang Zhuang out first.

Ruyi understood the look in Xiaoguo's eyes, so she brought Zhuang Zhuang back to the kitchen in a daze.

When Mrs. Kong heard Xiaoguo's words, her heart tightened and she broke out in a cold sweat. The first thing she did was to grab Mr. Kong and hide behind him, trembling. “Old man…”

“Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.” Mr. Kong immediately comforted her. Although he was also a little afraid, he was an old man who had experienced many storms. He quickly got himself to calm down.

“It's broad daylight. Stop kidding around.”

Mr. Kong watched Xiaoguo's every move with his sharp eyes. How could the general's wife be such a person? Could he have mistaken her for someone else…?

“Hmph!” Xiaoguo stood up and slowly walked up to them. “Joking? Do you really think I'm joking?”

Mr. Kong's heart tightened. He was old and weak. It was impossible for him to fight them head-on, let alone with his wife. It would be even more impossible to reason with them—these people were probably regulars in this line of work. Was he really going to die here?

“If you don't have the money, then pay with your life!”

Xiaoguo tried her best to scare them.

“We have the money, but you have to come with us to get it.”

“Do I look like a fool?”

Xiaoguo walked behind Mrs. Kong with a look of disdain and placed her hand gently on her shoulder. Mr. Kong's pupils constricted. “Don't hurt her!”
