Chapter 987: Chapter 975: She Is Sister Jing
Under the gaze of the three little ones, Xu Moqian held back the tears that almost fell, shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, I just think it’s so delicious, it’s so good I could cry!”
Hearing him say that, the three little ones were satisfied and withdrew their gazes, continuing to eat heartily.
Qiao Jing didn’t think much of it, smiling lightly as she said, “Then eat more.”
Xu Moqian nodded and picked up another bite of food, stuffing it into his mouth.
The familiar taste made him involuntarily recall the times when Qiao Jing personally cooked, and memories of the past came flooding back…
Inside the house, several people were eating.
Outside, a sports car sped over and suddenly stopped in front of the small villa.
In the driver’s seat, Lu Zijiao glanced at Lu Zijin in the passenger seat, raised an eyebrow and said, “Brother, this is the place, right? We can get out.”
Last night he pondered for a bit and decided to bring his brother directly over, to prevent that Xu Moqian from taking advantage!
Lu Zijin looked at the small villa through the car window, hesitantly saying, “Isn’t it kind of impolite for us to come uninvited?”
“What’s wrong with it?”
Lu Zijiao shrugged indifferently, “Didn’t you just tell me there was some difficult case at the hospital? Just use that as an excuse and say you want to ask Third Miss Qiao to come and take a look.”
“But at this time, they should be eating…”
Before Lu Zijin could finish, Lu Zijiao interrupted him.
“Come on! Brother, isn’t that obvious? I specifically brought you here during their mealtime!”
“If we don’t go in now, the meal Qiao Jing personally made will all be eaten by Xu Moqian! Don’t you want to try her cooking?”
When he said this, Lu Zijiao was quite earnest.
Persuaded by his brother, Lu Zijin finally let go of his reluctance.
The two brothers got out of the car together and went to ring the doorbell.
Hearing the doorbell, Qiao Jing got up to open the door.
When the door opened and she saw Lu Zijin and Lu Zijiao, Qiao Jing was a little surprised.
Seeing his brother hesitating to speak, Lu Zijiao stepped forward, “Third Miss Qiao, my brother has a difficult case at the hospital and wants your help, so I came with him.”
As he spoke, Lu Zijiao changed the subject, “Hey! What’s that smell? It smells so good! Are you guys eating?”
Hearing this, Lu Zijin suddenly had an urge to cover his face.
He really couldn’t do this kind of feigned ignorance…
Qiao Jing nodded, “Yes, come in and have some.”
She stepped aside, motioning for them to enter.
“Then we won’t be shy!”
Finishing his words, Lu Zijiao immediately pulled his brother in.
The arrival of Lu Zijin and Lu Zijiao made Xu Moqian quite displeased.
When the two sat down at the dining table, Xu Moqian couldn’t help but complain, “You two brothers have some nerve, you weren’t even invited here, yet you come and shamelessly grab a meal!”
When it came to confrontation, Lu Zijiao knew better than to rely on his brother.
He chuckled dismissively, “Who said we weren’t invited? Just now, Third Miss Qiao invited my brother and me to come in and eat, ask her yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Xu Moqian rolled his eyes, “You were already at the door, what else could she do but let you in? Should she have kicked you out?”
This meal was supposed to be his exclusive treat, having three little ones join unexpectedly was bad enough, but he couldn’t argue with kids.
And then these Lu brothers showed up too!
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he got!
Seeing Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao about to argue again, Qiao Jing spoke up in time to stop them, “How about we eat first, or the food will get cold.”
With her words, Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao finally quieted down.
After they started eating, Lu Zijin also found the taste of these dishes very familiar.
At first, he thought it might be his imagination.
To confirm, he tried each dish on the table, and found that every dish tasted just as familiar!
Lu Zijin looked at the girl sitting across from him with some suspicion.
Why did the food she made taste so similar to what Qiao Jing used to make?
Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?
While Lu Zijin was lost in thought, Qiao Jing got up and went to the kitchen, bringing out a pot of chicken soup.
“I nearly forgot there’s still soup, this is chicken soup made with Chinese herbs, have a taste.”
As soon as Qiao Jing finished speaking, Xu Moqian eagerly served himself a bowl and quickly took a spoonful.
However, as soon as he tasted the soup, Xu Moqian froze.
The flavor of the herbal soup, even the seasoning proportions, was exactly the same as the herbal chicken soup Qiao Jing used to make.
Other dishes being similar could be a coincidence, but this one, he felt no one but Qiao Jing could make it this way!
Upon realizing this, Xu Moqian’s emotions suddenly surged.
He stood up abruptly, eyes fixed on the only girl at the table, his voice trembling slightly even though he didn’t notice it himself, “Sister Jing, is it really you?”
With this question, everyone present paused their actions, their eyes darting between the two involved.
Qiao Jing didn’t understand why Xu Moqian suddenly brought this up again, but she answered his question, “I’m not, that misunderstanding was already explained before.”
“Impossible!”
Xu Moqian refuted firmly, his tone full of conviction, “These dishes taste so much like what Sister Jing makes, especially this chicken soup, only she can make it taste like this!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zijin’s hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze.
It turns out, not only did he feel it was similar, but Xu Moqian thought so too!
Qiao Jing thought for a moment and explained, “It might be because I used to study with Master Zhou and saw a lot of medical books, so I managed to make a similar taste by coincidence.”
“No!”
Xu Moqian shook his head, reasoning logically, “Even though I don’t understand medicine, I know that to make the same flavor, every herb used in the soup must be the same, and in the exact proportions, how can that be just a coincidence?”
After a pause, he added, “Also, I’ve heard from Zhan Nanjing that you lost your memory four years ago!”
This statement made Lu Zijin’s eyes widen, and his expression became excited.
He had always thought that this Qiao Jing they knew was very much like the Qiao Jing they knew, but he never suspected they were the same person.
However, if she lost her memory four years ago, then it might have been due to a head injury during the tsunami, causing amnesia.
So, she could indeed be Qiao Jing!
The three little ones also blinked expectantly at Qiao Jing, hoping she would confirm Xu Moqian’s words.
As long as she admitted it, then she would be their mommy!
Lu Zijiao observed from the sidelines, thinking if this Third Miss Qiao was really Qiao Jing, Zhan Qipei would surely be very happy…
