Song Chaolin waited for Ying Xixi's answer with great sorrow.
“About two months ago, I went to a temple outside the capital to burn incense, and I encountered human traffickers.
On the way, I heard the human traffickers say that someone had asked them to kidnap me. That person asked them to take me to a place tens of thousands of miles away from the capital and sell me, so that I would never have the chance to return to Beijing.
As I listened to what they said, I guessed that the person who ordered them to kidnap me was Ying Lin'er.
Later, the traffickers took me to the vicinity of Lotus Village. I was almost fainting from hunger at that time, and my breathing was probably not very obvious.
The traffickers thought I was dead and dumped me in a mass grave.
Just then, Master Xiao passed by, and before I fainted, I asked him to save me.
That's probably what happened, cousin. You just said that my father said I fell off a cliff and died?"
Ying Xixi curled her lips, "Now everyone in the capital knows that I'm dead? What about my engagement with the Prime Minister's son?"
Did my father decide to give it to Ying Lin'er?"
When Song Chaolin heard this, his eyes became redder and filled with heartache and anger.
"Xixi, you guessed right. Uncle Ying did announce to the public that you fell off a cliff and died, and he has already arranged your funeral.
Originally, the Prime Minister wanted to cancel the engagement, but for some reason, the Prime Minister did not mention canceling the engagement, but instead let Ying Lin'er and Su Yuan get married.
Their wedding is next month.
Xixi, do you still want to go back and take back everything that belongs to you?
I know you love Su Yuan, if you want to go back, I will help you."
Ying Xixi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Cousin, do you know why Ying Lin'er dared to cooperate with human traffickers to kidnap me?
Why did the Prime Minister agree to let Ying Lin'er, a concubine's daughter, marry Su Yuan?
Because Ying Lin'er and Su Yuan had been hooking up for a long time.
The two of them worked together to eliminate me, and they had something on each other.
The prime minister and his son did not dare to refuse Ying Lin'er entry.
If I were to go to the capital like this, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's men would show up on the road and kill me before I even get there."
Song Chaolin couldn't believe it. "It was Ying Lin'er and Su Yuan who collaborated?! How dare they?! No! I'm going to the capital now. I'm going to expose everything!"
Song Chaolin stood up angrily and was about to leave.
Ying Xixi quickly grabbed him and said, "Cousin, calm down and don't be impulsive!"
Song Chaolin angrily slapped the table, feeling heartbroken, "Xixi, it's my fault for not protecting you!
I shouldn't be running around all day. If I had stayed in the capital, I might have noticed something was wrong!"
"Cousin, this is not your fault.
Besides, if you hadn't been doing business, running around, and coming to Lotus Town, how would you have met me now?
Cousin, let’s get down to business. I came here to sell recipes.
I didn’t expect that you are the owner of this restaurant.”
"Selling recipes? Xixi, you... and Young Master Xiao? Xixi, I haven't figured out your thoughts yet, why don't you tell me first?
I also knew what to do next.”
Song Chaolin was still a little confused.
"Cousin, this is what I want to do. I want to make some money by selling the recipes. First, I want to give it back to Master Xiao. Second, I want to repay Master Xiao for saving my life. Third, I will feel at ease with some money on hand, so that I can go wherever I want.
As for revenge, there is no rush. I want to think about it carefully.
Cousin, if you return to the capital, don't tell anyone that I'm still alive."
Ying Xixi briefly stated her current thoughts.
As for whether my thoughts will change later, we’ll talk about it later.
When Song Chaolin heard this, he immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the table.
"Xixi, cousin has some money here, take it."
Ying Xixi was touched, but pushed the banknote in front of him.
“Cousin, I know you’re good to me, but I can’t just accept your kindness like that.
How about we talk about the recipe first?"
Song Chaolin sighed, "Xixi, you're still the same as before, unwilling to easily accept my kindness. Well, how do you want to discuss the recipe?"
Ying Xixi and Xiao Sui borrowed the kitchen and started cooking using the restaurant's ingredients.
Of course, Xiao Sui was the one in charge of cooking.
The dishes Xiao Sui cooked were basically the ones he and Ying Xixi had eaten at home.
He has memorized the recipe as well.
It didn't take him long to prepare two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes.
Spicy rabbit meat, braised spare ribs, eggplant and potato stew, mapo tofu, mushrooms and vegetables.
As soon as a few dishes were cooked, the chefs' eyes lit up.
Chef Liu was even more amazed, "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to have such a skill! Your cooking skills are really good!
To be honest, we have never seen these dishes before, and we never thought they could be cooked like this!"
“The recipe belongs to Miss Ying, and I just made it according to the recipe.
As long as there is a recipe, with Brother Liu and the other chefs' cooking skills, they will definitely make something tastier than mine."
Xiao Sui's words made the chefs smile.
Song Chaolin looked at the five dishes that looked delicious and his appetite was aroused. He called the chefs to come over and taste them so as to judge whether the guests would like them.
As a result, several people just took a bite and started to pick up food crazily.
The grown men finished all five dishes in no time!
Song Chaolin looked at Ying Xixi with shining eyes.
"Xixi, do you have any other recipes? Master Xiao, could you please make all the dishes you know how to cook?
These five dishes are so delicious! I bought the recipe!
