Chapter 350 He Said That He Was Not Used to It After I Changed My Words

“It’s just some home cooking, and ordinary people can do it well.” Xia Yu said with a smile.

Old Madame nodded and said to Second Madame on the side, “Help me with a piece of Spicy Chicken.”

“Okay, mom!” Second Madame hurriedly helped Old Madame with the dishes, feeling particularly complacent in her mind.

Someone had been busy all morning. So what? What Xia Yu did in about twenty minutes was better than hers. It was called innate deficiency, and it was irretrievable.

“How is it?” Second Madame saw Old Madame tasting the food and then asked carefully.

“Very good. Really good!” Old Madame nodded repeatedly.

“How can an ordinary person be compared with the daughter of a chef?” Zeng Mina was really aggrieved. She had thought that Shen Yan would definitely be with Yang Ke’er, but nobody knew that he was determined to be together with Xia Yu this time.

If she had known that earlier, she wouldn’t have spent so much time and energy learning to cook. Xia Yu had been training since she was young. And Zeng Mina was showing her slight skill before an expert in front of Xia Yu.

According to her theory, Xia Yu was supposed to cook well as her father was a chef. But why wasn’t she a boss since her father was a boss? Wasn’t this chicanery?

Fortunately, all the people sitting there were well cultured, and no one cared about her words. And fortunately, Xia Yu made two more dishes and one soup, and everyone ate the food then.

As for what Zeng Mina cooked, no one ate it. Even First Madame who always supported her didn’t eat it at all. She could support her, but she couldn’t torment her stomach.

Zeng Mina was too embarrassed to eat the dishes fried by Xia Yu, and she barely ate a little food made by herself. Then she didn’t continue to eat anymore. After trying to eat twice reluctantly, she left the table early and sat down aside to watch TV.

After the meal, Old Madame’s spirits were so high, asking everyone to accompany her to take a stroll in the garden.

Old Madame stopped under a big tree. “This tree was planted by his grandpa when Little Yan was born. After so many years, Little Yan has a girlfriend now, and the tree is luxuriant too.”

“Grandma, did someone plant a tree when Young Master Mo was born? Which one?” Zeng Mina asked at the side. Shen Mo was the first grandson, and grandfather must have paid more attention to him. She could conquer them this time.

Old Madame smiled and said on the side, “When Little Mo was born, he was abroad. Our whole family rushed over, but he was born when we were still on the plane.”

It meant that when Shen Mo was born, there was no such a tree or something else. Zeng Mina was somewhat disappointed.

After that, everyone continued to move forward. Zeng Mina pulled the clothes of Xia Yu and deliberately separated from others at a certain distance.

“Do you have something to talk to me?” Xia Yu asked.

“You are really more capable than your cousin indeed. You can stand in this house.” Zeng Mina said sourly.

“So what? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Xia Yu smiled.

“Yang Ke’s was so stupid to give Shen Yan up to you.” When mentioning Yang Ke’er, Zeng Mina remembered that she had treated Xia Yu so badly before, but they could still get along well with each other now. However, Xia Yu was not friendly to her at all. She curled her lips and said, “Xia Yu, I don’t understand. Did I offend you before? You always talk to me coldly.”

Xia Yu wanted to say that Zeng Mina had offended herself so many times. But she just smiled and said, “You always talk to me coldly as well.”

“It’s because there was some misunderstanding between us before. Now you have a settled relationship with Shen Yan, so we will be a family sooner or later. If we still fight against each other, it won’t be good for the face of Shen Family.” Zeng Mina did not want to talk softly with Xia Yu, but the problem was that she couldn’t retort Xia Yu in words.

“I have never taken the initiative to provoke you.” Zeng Mina intended to maintain the face of Shen Family now, but why didn’t she do it earlier? However, Xia Yu was too lazy to care about Zeng Mina. As long as she didn’t take the initiative to ask for trouble, Xia Yu would ignore her.

“It’s a deal then. Now your sister also finds a good family, and we will become a family. So, we don’t mention anything in the past then, okay?” Zeng Mina said quickly.

A family? It was too early to say it. But it was not proper for Xia Yu to say anything else, so she just smiled aside.

“I’ll take it as a yes.” Zeng Mina saw that Xia Yu didn’t talk and thought that she acquiesced to it. She smiled and said, “In fact, your bark is worse than your bite. Thank you for not telling Young Master Mo about that thing.”

Zeng Mina referred to the indecent photos of her with another man.

She still had the face to mention it in Shen Family. Xia Yu got a cramp in her lips and barely smiled. “Well, you have been engaged to Young Master Mo for so long, but why do you still call him Young Master Mo?”

Xia Yu didn’t mean to make a fuss. But if she called Shen Yan Young Master Yan when they were dating, Shen Yan would be furious and say that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, not boss and subordinate.

Mentioning it, Zeng Mina was a little aggrieved. “You also know that we have known each other before. I have been calling him Young Master Mo for so many years. He said that he was not used to it after I changed my words.”

“Make sense.” Xia Yu nodded. She said in her heart that no wonder Shen Yan said so surely that Shen Mo would not marry Zeng Mina. It seemed that it was somewhat reasonable.

Fortunately, Xia Yu did not continue to ask, otherwise Zeng Mina would make a fool of herself then. She quickly changed the topic. “Xia Yu, when did you reconcile with Young Master Mo? He actually knew that you could cook well and also smiled at you.”

After saying that, Zeng Mina quickly explained, “You also know that he barely smiles at others.”

“He said that Xiao Qiang told him I could cook. He asked me to cook for him shortly before. As for the question which you asked me, I actually want to ask you. Do you know what the employees said about him before? They said that he didn’t have the ability to smile.” Xia Yu was also confused.

It turned out that Xia Yu didn’t know why Shen Mo would become sonsy, either. Zeng Mina was somewhat disappointed. “You don’t know that since his ex-girlfriend died, he had never smiled again. What I am saying is his former girlfriend, not your cousin. Everyone thinks he won’t smile again.”

“Ningjing?” Xia Yu asked.

“Do you still know Ningjing?” Zeng Mina looked at Xia Yu with surprise.

“Don’t look at me like this. I heard it from Shen Yan.” Xia Yu saw her wondering look and then said, “Do you remember when we had a quarrel last time? The doctor named Zhou Yan sent me back. Later Shen Yan knew it and said that Zhou Yan stole his older brother’s girlfriend.”

“It’s true.” Zeng Mina did not doubt about Xia Yu’s explanation. “Young Master Mo really liked Ningjing before, but Zhou Yan was really a bastard. Young Master Mo regarded him as a friend while he stole his girlfriend.”

“Feelings are really hard to judge.” Xia Yu said vaguely.

“Yeah, Young Master Mo treated Ningjing so well. I still don’t understand now why Ningjing broke up with Young Master Mo and chose Zhou Yan. You know both of them. Young Master Mo is much more excellent than Zhou Yan.” Zeng Mina shook her head and said.

“This is called that everyone has his own taste.” Xia Yu smiled and said.

“Can you walk faster? Even Old Madame can walk faster than you.” First Madame saw Zeng Mina and Xia Yu were in a whisper. She didn’t know what they were talking about and felt a little unhappy.

It was known that Xia Yu stole the show today. The soup which she made pleased Old Madame so well. Old Madame even forgave Shen Yan then. She called Shen Yan by his pet name directly, rather than by his full name. And she even took a stroll with them.

Did Zeng Mina have a brain? Why was she so intimate with Xia Yu?

Xia Yu looked up, only to see that they had already gone a long way. She said to Zeng Mina, “Let’s go!”

These two people walked over together, and Old Madame was satisfied. She couldn’t help taking Xia Yu and Yang Ke’er in comparison. If Yang Ke’er and Zeng Mina had been there today, they would have definitely fought against each other.

However, Xia Yu was very well-measured. She could cook well, but she didn’t vie with Zeng Mina when Zeng Mina offered herself. When having dinner, Zeng Mina’s food was hard to swallow, but she didn’t take the opportunity to attack Zeng Mina.

Even when Zeng Mina sneered at her, she just smiled and ignored her. And now she even talked and laughed with Zeng Mina. None of the ordinary people could be so bighearted.

After Xia Yu and Zeng Mina came over, Old Madame waved at Xia Yu, asking her to come over. “Come to grandma.”

“Yes, grandma!” Xia Yu walked over and helped her.

“Xia Yu, I have read your file. It is said that your home is in A City. Do your parents still work in A City?” Old Madame asked with kindness.

“Yeah. But my dad has been fascinated with folk snacks these years. He often runs all over the country, and my mom is the only one at home most of the time.” Xia Yu answered truthfully.

Old Madame nodded. “So, how about inviting them over when they are free?”

“Thank you, grandma!” Xia Yu said quickly.

“Isn’t it supposed to be? The elders of our two families should know each other then.” The smile on Old Madame’s face was even brighter.

Old Madame was so biased. Why didn’t she invite Zeng Ziqiang to come over before? First Madame’s face immediately turned cold.

But Old Madame didn’t seem to care about it. She turned around and said to Shen Yan, “Little Yan, you don’t just take care of your work. Spare some time to go to A City and invite Xia Yu’s parents for me and your mom.”

“Yes, grandma! I remember it.” Shen Yan rushed to promise on the side, and he really couldn’t figure out why she suddenly had such a big change.

Even Second Madame on the side was also stunned, not to mention Shen Yan. If she was not mistaken, just a few days ago, Old Madame said with strong pity that since Shen Yan refused Yang Ke’er, that child didn’t come over anymore.

Today Xia Yu was invited to come only because she was stimulated by Little Yan, and she just made fashion. But why did she talk about the meeting for both parents?

What would she do? Did she next want to let them get engaged or just let them get married directly?

Second Madame couldn’t understand Old Madame completely. She said on the side, “Xiao Yu just said that her father often ran all over the country. It’s hard to fix a time.”

“So, we have to make some preparations!” Old Madame said with a smile, “It will be good if they come over on my birthday.”

Wasn’t it just next month? It seemed that Old Madame was serious indeed. After her birthday, she would choose a date for them to get engaged or get married.

It was really a good arrangement. The older brother was not married, so she didn’t believe that Old Madame would let Shen Yan get married first. First Madame smiled wryly and said on the side, “That’s great. I have asked Little Mo to invite the greatest chef in Ruyi Restaurant to make a hot and sour radish soup for you that day. The future in-laws will also come, and we can let them share their insights in culinary skills. Little Yan, what do you think of it?”

All the words would be different from their own meaning in her mouth. Shen Yan ignored her words directly and said to Old Madame, “I’ll try to spare some time to get to A city this month.”

“Okay, that’s a deal.” Old Madame smiled and patted Xia Yu’s hand. Seeing that her wrists were bare without even a piece of jewelry, she took down a blood jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Xia Yu’s wrist. “It was bought when I married your grandfather. The style is a bit old. I hope that you don’t mind it.”

“Grandma, this is too precious!” Regardless of the value, it made a lot of sense as it was sent by grandpa. Xia Yu felt extremely flattered.

First Madame on the side was even more shocked and stunned. The blood jade bracelet was Old Madame’s treasure, and she had been wearing it for so many years. She just gave it to Xia Yu now.
