"I never expected you to be so thoughtful, Second Sister, you even saved food for us!"
Jiang Sheng quickly flattered Zhao Xuehui, praising her repeatedly: "My second sister's cooking skills are truly excellent. Whoever marries her will be incredibly lucky!"
Among the five siblings, Jiang Sheng was known for his sweet talk.
Zhao Xuehui, who was already used to Jiang Sheng's praise, still couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, alright, I know you always have a sweet tongue. Big sister, you two sit here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and reheat the chicken soup."
Zhao Nianmeng nodded with a smile, while Jiang Sheng did not remain idle. Instead, he followed Zhao Xuehui to the kitchen.
"Second sister, let me help you!"
Zhao Xuehui nodded and instructed Jiang Sheng to wash some of the dishes on the table.
"There's still food on the table, but Third Sister will be coming over to eat later. I'll cook a few more dishes. If you're not too hungry right now, find something to eat first, and then help me with the cooking."
Upon hearing Zhao Xuehui say that her third sister, Zhao Yiyan, was also coming, Jiang Sheng instantly became enthusiastic and quickly nodded in agreement.
"OK!"
Jiang Sheng went to the living room to get a steamed bun, added a few pieces of meat, and ate it like that. Then he quickly went to the kitchen to help out.
Upon learning that her third sister was also coming, Zhao Nianmeng decided not to eat. Instead, she took a steamed bun, added some vegetables, and went to the kitchen to help out, just like Jiang Sheng.
The third sister, Zhao Yiyan, is a teacher at a school. Her life is always hard but peaceful, and she rarely eats at home.
So having the opportunity to have dinner with her third sister, Zhao Nianmeng naturally worked much faster.
"Second sister, third sister is coming over for dinner. You didn't know. You should have told me earlier so I could have bought more cooked food when I went back."
While washing the vegetables in her hands, Zhao Nianmeng glanced at Zhao Xuehui with a hint of reproach.
Although it was a complaint, Zhao Nianmeng did not express any blame in her words.
Zhao Xuehui couldn't help but pout slightly, feeling a little wronged, and quickly began to explain.
“I didn’t think that much about it. My third sister just called and said she’d just grab something to eat, but I figured she hadn’t been home in a while, so there was still so much food at home, so I didn’t tell you beforehand…”
The explanation was that Zhao Nianmeng wasn't really angry with Zhao Xuehui. The two sisters worked together and quickly prepared a table full of dishes.
During this process, Jiang Sheng only assisted and did not actually help much.
After all, his cooking skills are really just average. Unless there's a specific reason, his four older sisters never let him cook.
In Zhao Xuehui's words, if Jiang Sheng went to the kitchen, he wouldn't be cooking; he'd be blowing it up.
The food had just been prepared when someone opened the door from the outside.
The three siblings looked towards the door and realized that it was Zhao Yiyan who opened it.
Zhao Yiyan was still holding her work briefcase when she saw the three siblings looking at her, so she greeted them with a smile.
"Big sister, second sister, and little brother, I just got back from get off work. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?"
When Zhao Yiyan said this, she was slightly out of breath, and her forehead was covered in sweat, clearly indicating that she had rushed home as soon as she got off work.
“We just finished cooking here,” Zhao Nianmeng said with a smile as she stood up, took the briefcase from Zhao Yiyan, and urged her quickly, “Go wash your hands and face, and let’s eat quickly.”
Zhao Yiyan nodded quickly, washed her hands and face briefly, and then sat down at the dining table.
The four siblings sat around the dining table. Looking at the table, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but sigh and say, "It's rare for the four of us sisters to gather together. It's just a pity that our fourth sister couldn't come today because she's very busy at the hospital."
The four sisters chatted and laughed, while Jiang Sheng took the initiative to use serving chopsticks to put food on Zhao Yiyan's plate.
While eating, he glanced at his eldest sister, Zhao Nianmeng, and casually asked, "By the way, eldest sister, when are you planning to go and scam that Lin Jiafu?"
When Lin Jiafu was mentioned, Zhao Nianmeng's smile froze for a moment, then she took a bite of food with a normal expression and answered.
"There's no need to rush this. I plan to get closer to him tomorrow and then take things slowly. If I'm too hasty, it will only make him more cautious and backfire."
Jiang Sheng knew that his eldest sister was a cautious and meticulous person. Even if she were to take action against Lin Jiafu at this time, she would naturally be fully prepared, otherwise she would not act lightly.
As the two siblings were talking, Zhao Nianmeng and Zhao Yiyan exchanged a curious glance, their faces filled with doubt.
"Sister, I remember Lin Jiafu from your factory was a team leader, and you seem to have a pretty good impression of him."
Zhao Xuehui asked, puzzled, "Why are they suddenly attacking him? What's going on?"
If they weren't angry, that would be fine, but once the topic came up, Jiang Sheng quickly took the opportunity to tell the two of them, his face full of anger, what had happened to them at the factory.
Even after he finished speaking, Jiang Sheng still looked furious.
"Even though my eldest sister trusted Lin Jiafu so much, I never expected him to do so many dirty tricks behind my back. It must be because he was transferred out of the finance department that he harbored resentment towards my eldest sister and came up with such a despicable plan to deal with her!"
Zhao Xuehui was an impatient person to begin with. After listening to Jiang Sheng's account, she slammed her hand on the table, looking even more angry than Jiang Sheng.
"I never imagined that there was such a black sheep, such a cancer, in my sister's factory!"
"Fortunately, you knew what kind of person he was beforehand, eldest sister," Zhao Xuehui turned to Zhao Nianmeng and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with at your factory? I definitely want to help you!"
"No."
Zhao Nianmeng smiled and shook her head, exuding confidence in every gesture: "Someone like Team Leader Lin can handle things on my own. There's no need to drag you all into it."
"But……"
Seeing Zhao Xuehui's anxious expression and the fact that she wanted to say something, Zhao Nianmeng took the initiative to put a piece of meat on her plate and said, "Don't worry, this is a small matter that I can handle by myself. There's no need to make everyone else busy."
Seeing that Zhao Xuehui wanted to say something more, Zhao Nianmeng could only add helplessly, "Alright, if there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely tell you right away, Second Sister."
