Xiu Min looked at Shen Mianmian and the more she looked, the more she liked her. After chatting with Shen Mianmian for a while, she went to the kitchen to cook. Li Shiping wanted to help, but she couldn’t put down the child in her arms.
Shen Mianmian rose to her feet, "Sister Shiping, you watch the child, I’ll go help!"
"Oh, this is so inappropriate! It’s your first official visit today, how can I let you do the work?" Li Shiping wouldn’t let Shen Mianmian go to the kitchen, but she couldn’t put down the child in her arms, so she felt somewhat troubled for a moment.
"It’s no big deal, I often do these things at home."
Shen Mianmian turned and headed for the kitchen, and while Li Shiping wanted to stop her, Li Yue called out to her.
"Sister, let her help! It’s a good opportunity for her to spend more time with mom. Don’t underestimate Mianmian because of her young age, her cooking is really delicious."
Hearing Li Yue say this, Li Shiping no longer stopped Shen Mianmian, but she still felt a bit regretful.
Li Julin and He Nan exchanged a few words, and when they saw Shen Mianmian go to the kitchen, Li Julin casually shifted the topic to Shen Mianmian.
"Xiaoyue said she ranked first in three subjects?"
This question was directed to He Nan.
Li Yue muttered in dissatisfaction, "Dad, you’re asking Nan brother this again in front of me, doesn’t that show you don’t trust me? Her top rankings in three subjects are her genuine results, would I lie to you?"
Li Julin glared at him, "I’m talking to He Nan, you stay out of it. If you’re bored, go to the kitchen and help."
His father doesn’t love him anymore.
"Uncle Li, it’s true that she was first in three subjects," He Nan said calmly with a smile, not hiding his intentions of bringing Shen Mianmian here, "If she wasn’t very talented, I wouldn’t have brought her to you."
Li Julin was stunned, his expression showing a bit of surprise.
What surprised him wasn’t that He Nan had brought someone over, but his unabashed demeanor.
He had a good understanding of He Nan’s temperament, and this behavior was quite contrary to it.
However, when it came to taking on students, Li Julin would not just agree because of He Nan’s involvement; he had his principles.
"You know my temper. I never take students through the back door. If I am to teach her, she still has to pass my assessment," he said.
"I’m aware of that," nodded He Nan, seemingly not at all worried, as if certain that Li Julin would take Shen Mianmian as a student.
Seeing He Nan’s attitude, Li Julin became even more curious about Shen Mianmian. He had a good impression of the young girl chatting with his wife earlier.
At a young age, she was neither arrogant nor servile, not intimidated, and quick-thinking. Facing them, she didn’t just blindly flatter, which was a point in her favor.
Of course, he wouldn’t decide to take her on as a student just because of this.
The students outside the school were his direct disciples, and he would rather have no direct disciples in his life than casually accept one he wasn’t satisfied with.
When Xiu Min saw Shen Mianmian come in, her first reaction was to push her out, "I can manage by myself here, you go sit with Shiping and watch TV for a while!"
"Aunt Xiu, Sister Shiping is looking after the child and can’t come to help. Let me assist you and learn some cooking skills in the process," Shen Mianmian responded.
Shen Mianmian didn’t stand on ceremony, taking the garlic that was laid out to the side and beginning to peel it.
It was indeed a bit too much for one person to handle all the cooking, and seeing that Shen Mianmian truly wanted to help, Xiu Min didn’t stop her any longer. Her fondness for Shen Mianmian grew even more.
This child was truly sensible. Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
