Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Scheming Young Master Sets a Trap (3)_1 Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Scheming Young Master Sets a Trap (3)_1 When ripping up the debt note?
Lin Yuan finally snapped back to reality from that braised fish, and she naturally remembered—it was this guy who said he would repay the debt with his culinary skills.
Seeing her remember, Xia Zheng wasn’t satisfied yet and repeated it once more before asking, “Repaying with culinary skills, right?”
Lin Yuan nodded: “Right.”
Xia Zheng concealed the joy in his eyes and said to Lin Wei who was eating with her head down, “You both listen up, okay?
Your big sister said this herself, so don’t go back on it when I come to collect those culinary skills from her one day!”
“My big sister is not that kind of person,” Xiao Linshuang wrinkled her nose and repeated, “It’s just culinary skills.
If my big sister says she will give, she will definitely give them!”
At that moment, Lin Wei couldn’t hold back from defending her big sister as well: “That’s right, my big sister is not like those people over there.
They give us our share of the family silver and then come back to claim it right after!”
Seeing the two agree so readily to be witnesses, Xia Zheng’s mouth nearly turned up with joy.
Inexplicably, Lin Yuan always felt guy was digging a hole for her, but she didn’t know what kind of hole it was.
This guy really was sneaky.
When he couldn’t get anything out of Lao Fan by talking, he used potatoes as bait and followed Lao Fan to find her, and even after finding her, he didn’t show himself immediately but tasted her cooking in the kitchen.
Now he suddenly brought up the debt note again—there was no telling what he was scheming next.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask another question, she heard Lao Fan’s huffing voice at the door: “What’s all this about?
You lured an old man over and didn’t feed him, saying I had to check your pulse first!
You didn’t let me eat after just one bite, such a stingy ghost!
Huh, girl, why are you here too?
Wow wow wow, you’re having a meal, I want to eat!
Hmm hmm, this King Chef’s skills are going downhill, his cooking is getting worse and worse!
Indeed, he was a complete foodie.
One second he was complaining, and the next second he changed the subject.
Lin Yuan held her forehead, unable to bear watching.
Xia Zheng, however, turned black with anger.
There were so many customers around, and he, as the boss, was being so openly criticized by his own staff—in the future, will Fuman Building still have business or not?
“Grandpa God Doctor also finds it not tasty?” Xiao Linshuang blinked her big eyes and giggled, “Well, of course, it definitely can’t compare to what my big sister makes.”
Lao Fan agreed with that.
Lin Yuan’s cooking skills were no joke.
Although the ingredients couldn’t compare to those available at Fuman Building due to limited conditions, the food she made was a feast for the eyes and the palate, definitely capable of whetting his appetite.
“Hey, hey, girl, since you’re here, why don’t you cook something for the old man.
I haven’t had the pleasure of your cooking these past few days.
Look, look, I’ve gone so thin from hunger!” Lao Fan rubbed his plump cheeks fiercely, his mung bean eyes practically shining.
Lin Yuan curled her lips; she thought the old man was getting fatter, not thinner!
Besides, she had important business to attend to.
“Aren’t you scheduled to provide acupuncture for my dad tomorrow?
I’ll cook for you then.
I have things to do today; I need to leave first.”
She had already been delayed all morning.
She needed to check out the property quickly and get back home where her parents were waiting.
After signaling her sisters to leave, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something and turned back to shout to Lao Fan, “It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, I made some mooncakes, give them a try.”
She had given the mooncakes to Liuzi as soon as she entered the door, and he must have delivered them to Lao Fan’s room right away.
Upon hearing that the girl hadn’t forgotten to bring him something to eat, Lao Fan, who had been disheartened, suddenly perked up.
While calling out for Liuzi, he scurried upstairs, and before Lin Yuan could even step out the door, cheers came from upstairs: “Wow, it’s these!
Haha, Li Chang you little rascal, you didn’t want to share with me, look now how many I have, haha!”
Lin Yuan shook her head and smiled, at a loss for words for this old child.
