"Hey, Lord, are you planning to keep gazing at potatoes for another ten thousand years?" Le Yao had already picked, washed, and chopped the chives, and was just waiting for the potato shreds when she saw a pair of big hands holding three potatoes with a helpless look on his face. She couldn't help but tease him.
“Um, I…” Nangong Jue was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Brother Jue doesn't know how to peel potatoes." Hao Kai had already kneaded the dough. "Let me do it." He then took a potato, picked up a peeler, and peeled the potato clean in a few strokes.
Nangong Jue glanced at it and thought it was simple, so he also took a peeler and peeled the potato like Hao Kai. As a result, the skin was indeed peeled off, but only the bones of the potato were left.
Le Yao's lips twitched, and she pointed to the two-finger-thick potato skin: "My lord, we're advocating thrift these days, this is too wasteful of you."
Nangong Jue couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he could only get up and leave. Staying there would only cause more trouble. However, he made up his mind that he had already learned how to peel potatoes.
Le Yao shook her head, and then quickly made the sauce for the noodles and shredded potatoes with chives. After that, she also made two cold dishes: a cucumber and jellyfish dish and a plate of cabbage hearts.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Fu Yun Shen sniffed as soon as he entered the room. "I could eat three big bowls of noodles like this."
"Get lost, there's none for you." Hao Kai scooped up a big bowl and started eating first.
Then……
Le Yao ate only a small bowl, leaving the rest of the large bowl of noodles, the large bowl of sauce, and two cold dishes, without leaving a single bite.
"Oh dear, I haven't eaten this much in ages." Fu Yun Shen rubbed his stomach and slumped onto the sofa.
"Since you've eaten my food, then answer my questions." Le Yao cooked another pot of hawthorn soup for everyone to aid digestion.
"You don't need to ask me to answer. The Fu family will not form a marriage alliance with the Yan family." Fu Yun Shen sat up straight. "Even if the Yan family breaks off ties with Yan Zi Meng, it cannot erase Yan Zi Meng's vicious behavior."
"What about your older brother?" Le Yao was worried that if Fu Haikuo liked Yan Ziwei, then it wouldn't matter even if everyone was different.
“My older brother isn’t blind,” Fu Yun Shen waved his hand. “It happened at a party. Yan Ziwei accidentally sprained her ankle. My older brother was there and helped her out. Later, Yan Ziwei expressed her gratitude and wanted to treat him to dinner, but my older brother refused. But somehow, rumors started circulating that they were going to get married…”
"What's so strange about that? The Yan family is in deep trouble right now and desperately needs a lifeline. It's not unusual for them to plot something," Hao Kai said, scoffing as he played a game. "The Fu family is the best choice."
"Then I'm relieved." Le Yao smiled, because just by looking at Yan Ziwei, she knew that the Yan family members were no pushovers. Then she got up and went back to her room. She needed to get some sleep quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have any energy tonight.
I had only slept for less than half an hour when the styling team arrived.
Le Yao had no choice but to get up and choose a white knee-length strapless dress from a dozen or so dresses, and then do her hair and makeup.
It took a full two hours to finish.
For its 40th anniversary celebration, the Nangong Group booked the entire Earl's Castle Manor Hotel, which cost a considerable sum.
As Le Yao sat in the car, she could see from afar a huge "40" made of flowers standing at the entrance.
