Seeing how sensible her daughter was, Deng Jie smiled with relief. But then, remembering that Lu Qingzhou already had two wives, she couldn't help but sigh.
Others might not know, but her own daughter knows perfectly well. Yinuo has never paid much attention to boys since she was little, and she's never been in a relationship, nor has she ever been seen getting close to any boy.
She was very obedient when we arranged blind dates for her, and she went to all the appointments, no matter how outstanding the other person was. She just took a liking to him, which made me wonder if my daughter didn't like men.
When she finally heard her take the initiative to say that she wanted to spend time with Lu Qingzhou, she, as a mother, was overjoyed.
However... alas... fate is cruel....
Leng Yue sat there by herself, showing no intention of going to the kitchen.
Go into the kitchen? Are you kidding me? In her opinion, it's better to order takeout, which is both safe and healthy.
Seeing Lin Yinuo's mother sigh, Leng Yue felt awkward sitting there with her daughter, so she took the initiative to start a conversation: "Auntie, hello, my name is Leng Yue. I've met your daughter a few times."
Deng Jie turned her head to look at Leng Yue and saw that this little girl was not only pretty, but also had a mischievous and clever air about her, so she started chatting with her with great interest.
"Hello, Xiaoyue, how did you and my Yinuo meet?" Deng Jie asked softly with a gentle smile on her face.
Leng Yue paused slightly, her thoughts drifting away.
Actually, when you really think about it, she and Lin Yinuo didn't really know each other. They had only met twice and hadn't even exchanged more than a few words.
With that in mind, Leng Yue briefly recounted the story to Deng Jie.
Deng Jie nodded slightly, not dwelling on the question, and quickly changed the subject: "What do you do at the company?"
Leng Yue gently put down her water glass, her expression calm and natural: "I am President Su's secretary." As she spoke, she pointed towards the kitchen.
Deng Jie gave a soft "oh," and then asked some questions about Leng Yue's work.
The two chatted back and forth in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, with occasional soft laughter.
In the kitchen, Zhang Ruoshui saw Su Qingyao walk in and said with a smile, "You silly child, go back and sit down and have some tea. I can manage by myself. The kitchen is full of fumes, and you'll get annoyed if you stay there."
Su Qingyao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
"How can I let you do all the work by yourself, Mom? Although I'm not very good at cooking, I can still help out."
Her gaze fell on a few cabbages beside her, and she bent down, gently picked one up, and began to peel the cabbage leaves with practiced ease.
Zhang Ruoshui couldn't help but joke, "Xiao Lu is a master chef himself. Let him handle the cooking. You can just relax and enjoy the ready-made meals at home."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Yinuo walked in.
Seeing the other girl's obedient demeanor, Su Qingyao felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yinuo, with a perfectly timed smile on her face, looked at the two of them and said, "Sitting here is really boring, so I've come to see if there's anything I can do to help in the kitchen."
As he spoke,
She glanced at a carrot on the cutting board and reached out to take it, saying in a lighthearted tone, "Let me help you chop the vegetables."
Looking at Lin Yinuo working so diligently, Zhang Ruoshui felt both touched and a little embarrassed.
Based on her previous observations, she thought that Yinuo and her son's relationship should work out, but now... sigh, never mind!
Seeing Lin Yinuo follow in and take over her assistant's job, Su Qingyao felt a tightness in her chest and was somewhat displeased.
I couldn't help but think to myself that Lin Yinuo had absolutely no sense of boundaries!
But she still had a smile on her face, and hurriedly put down the cabbage in her hand, stepping forward to stop her, saying, "Miss Lin is a guest after all. How can we let a guest do such a small thing? Let me cut it." As she spoke, she reached for the kitchen knife in Lin Yinuo's hand.
Lin Yinuo paused slightly, then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips as she slowly said, "Miss Su, you're too kind. I've probably spent a little more time with Aunt Zhang than you have."
Everyone's pretty easygoing, I'm just someone who can't sit still. Since you've come all this way, just sit in the living room and watch TV for a while. Aunt Zhang and I can manage in the kitchen.”
The way you put it makes me feel like I'm the outsider.
A fleeting hint of displeasure crept into Su Qingyao's heart, but she suppressed it, maintaining a calm smile. "Miss Lin, as the daughter-in-law of this family, this is what I should do."
"How could we trouble a guest like you to come into the kitchen and help? If word got out, people would say the Lu family is being unhospitable."
Zhang Ruoshui stood aside, watching the two go back and forth, secretly competing with each other, wanting to interject but unable to find an opportunity.
She wondered to herself: When did kitchen work become so sought-after, that people are even competing for it?
Upon closer reflection, Zhang Ruoshui realized that Xiao Lin was probably unhappy because he knew his son had a wife, which was why he was challenging Su Qingyao.
Thinking this, Zhang Ruoshui quickly spoke up, interrupting the two with a smile: "You two don't need to argue anymore, you both have work to do."
Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Su Qingyao didn't say anything more.
He was peeling cabbage with his hands, but his eyes were drawn to Lin Yinuo, who was chopping vegetables, as if by a magnet.
His eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
It must be said,
Lin Yinuo's knife skills in cutting vegetables are very skillful. The carrot shreds she cuts are of uniform thickness and each shred is distinct.
