I loved Feng Jue for 12 years.
To win his favor, I agreed to a hidden marriage, content to be the woman behind him. But to punish me for not divorcing him, he imprisoned me on a secluded isla...
Chapter 72 Yan Ai Refuses to Answer the Phone
"When I'm free on weekends, I'll come back and cook for you more often." Yan Ai lowered her eyelashes and continued to set the table.
Yan Zexun washed his hands and came over to find that the food had been served. It looked delicious and was no less delicious than what he cooked.
He pulled out a chair nearby and sat down, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You can't steal work from your dad. Your mom loves the food I cook the most, so I can't neglect it."
Yan Ai suppressed the guilt that was lingering in her eyes, then raised her eyes and smiled, "Okay, I won't fight with you. Then try it and see if my cooking skills have improved."
As she spoke, Yan Ai also pulled out the chair next to her and sat down.
Yan Zexun readily picked up a dish and put it in his mouth to taste it. Then his eyes lit up and he nodded in praise, "The bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, the meat slices are tender but not greasy. The heat is well controlled, and the thickening technique is also perfect, the thickness is just right."
This is a very high evaluation.
Yan Ai was very happy. She still remembered that her father encouraged her the first time she ate the food she cooked. Although it was not bad, he couldn't praise it enough.
It seems that all the effort she spent in the kitchen over the years was not in vain. At least, the first person to benefit from her skills after she learned it was her father, not Feng Jue, that heartless man.
After dinner, Yan Ai chatted with her father for a while before going to the garage to get the car and preparing to return to Lake Coast, the community where she currently lives.
It's only four or five minutes' drive, very close.
Before coming here in the evening, Yan Ai had already returned the rented car, and now she was driving the new car her father bought for her.
Yan Ai opened the car door and got in. Just as she was about to start the car, her cell phone, which was placed on the wireless charging tray, suddenly rang.
Yan Ai turned her head and took a look. It turned out to be a call from the landline of Feng family mansion.
The only member of the Feng family who would call her on the landline was Old Lady Feng.
Yan Ai didn't want to deal with any member of the Feng family except Jiang Yuan and his wife, so she didn't answer.
The phone rang and then automatically hung up. Yan Ai started the car without paying any attention.
After three times in a row, it finally stopped.
Feng Family Mansion
The maid, Mother Wu, was holding the telephone receiver. It was a cold day, but her palms were sweating.
"Still can't get through?" the old lady asked with a frown.
Mother Wu put down the phone, turned around and replied, "Young Madam didn't answer."
She didn't know when the young lady became so bold that she actually dared to not answer the old lady's call.
"What did you say?" The old lady's face was very ugly. "Did you call but didn't answer, or didn't you call?"
Mother Wu said stubbornly, "I did get through, but I didn't answer."
"You're rebelling!" The old lady was furious and ordered in a cold voice, "Keep fighting!"
Then Mother Wu started dialing Yan Ai's cell phone number again. This time it was even more outrageous. She hung up the phone after it rang for just a few seconds.
Mother Wu stood there in a daze.
"Grandma, the young mistress may really be busy and has no time to answer the phone." Mother Wu racked her brains for a while before she could barely piece together an excuse to hand to the old lady.
The old lady met Jiang Qiuning this afternoon and had dinner together in the evening. The woman was elegant and well-spoken, and the old lady felt more and more that Yan Ai was outshined. That's why when the wind blew at night, she wanted to call Yan Ai over to give her a good lesson.
And there is the secret recipe for pregnancy in her hand. If Yan Ai uses it and there is still no movement in her belly, the old lady will have a reason to persuade her grandson Feng Jue to divorce her. By then, even if her daughter-in-law likes Yan Ai very much, if Yan Ai cannot give birth to a child, this reason will be enough to shut her up!
But Yan Ai didn't answer her calls at all.
The old lady was so angry that she wanted her grandson to divorce her right now and there would be no need to use the prescription!
