Chapter 429 Grandfather's Choice
After being betrayed by his master and senior brother, the first thing Nan Pingshan did was to meet Wang Yongnian and Wang De and ask them "why".
Perhaps Wang Yongnian felt guilty and was worried about losing face in front of his apprentice, so he didn't meet him.
But Wang De met him and faced his questioning, and refuted it with firm words -
"When you were thinking about the recipe, didn't you think about my Wang family's ancestral recipes?"
"You've been learning cooking for many years, aren't you using my Wang family's techniques?"
"Were you the one who said that my Wang family would repay you with a generous gesture of gratitude?"
"If you clarify this matter, the Wang family will be ruined, and Yongnian Building will also be ruined. Do you think my father can survive if he loses these?"
“…”
The image of the eldest senior brother in Nanpingshan's memory as calm, generous, honest and kind-hearted completely collapsed.
Instead, he was replaced by a shameless person.
Nan Pingshan was so angry that he was shaking. He couldn't believe that Wang De could say such a thing!
That’s right, he had seen the Wang family’s ancestral recipes.
But what does that have to do with his homemade recipes?
He practiced a lot when learning cooking, and the basic skills he focused on learning were indeed the Wang family techniques.
Then does his own efforts not matter?
What about other outer disciples and direct disciples? Can't they leave Yongnian Tower and make a living on their own?
The Wang family was indeed very kind to him, which was almost like giving him a second life.
Should he then bear the injustice and allow Wang De to throw mud at him?
Nan Pingshan wanted to refute Wang De word by word, telling him that he would not let his scheme succeed, and would find a reporter to tell the truth...
But he couldn't say it.
Because Wang De's threat just hit the point he cared about the most——
He couldn't bear to see the Wang family destroyed, nor could he bear to see the Yongnian Building destroyed.
I am even more afraid of losing these, and my master will be angry to death.
His hands and feet were bound.
However, what really mattered to him the most was that he saw the true faces of his master and senior brother.
Such hypocrisy, ugliness and disgust almost destroyed all the beliefs he had held since he started learning cooking.
He suddenly felt disheartened and didn't even have the energy to defend himself. His entire life seemed to be sinking into nothingness.
Even the Chefs Association asked the restaurant to suspend business and revoked all the rankings of Nanpingshan...
Nanping Mountain doesn't care at all.
He just left a restaurant transfer certificate to his master and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Later, he returned to his hometown and met Nanzhi...
…
…
What Nanzhi told us were stories from the past that she compiled based on the records on each page of her grandfather's notebook.
Of course, when she told Nan Yi, she deliberately left out some things that children should not hear.
For example, my grandfather’s ex-wife cheated on me.
Nanzhi also tried to speak tactfully about the rest of the intrigue, not wanting the children to be exposed to human nature and the dark side of the world too early.
But this did not stop Nan Yi from turning over and sitting up angrily, clenching his fists in indignation and shouting:
“That’s too much!”
His eyes were as big as copper bells, burning with rage!
"Grandfather trusted them so much, and they actually betrayed him? They are so evil!"
Nan Yi was so angry that he couldn't help but punch the pillow a few times.
Nanzhi almost laughed!
Fortunately, I braked in time at the critical moment.
She immediately nodded and agreed:
"Well, they are all a bunch of extremely hypocritical villains!"
But Nan Yi was not stupid and was not easily fooled by her.
He tilted his head in surprise:
"Mom isn't angry."
"How could that be? Of course Mom is angry! Mom hates people who treat your great-grandfather badly the most!"
In the past, a neighbor scolded my grandfather, and he didn’t know how to refute him, so he went home and sulked.
She even secretly ran to his doorstep to pull his vegetables!
twice!
Nan Yi hummed: "But mom doesn't seem angry at all."
Nanzhi was stunned.
She certainly had no doubt about Nan Yi's sensitivity to emotions.
She was just a little surprised.
So she wasn't as angry about this as she thought?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
No, of course not.
She never cared about what happened to her grandfather.
On the contrary, when she first got the diary and read the contents, she was so angry that she was dizzy! She chewed on her grandfather's efforts, hard work, success, glory, bitterness, despair word by word...
Anger burned her internal organs and she was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
He even had the urge to go to the Wang family to question them! Grandpa was reluctant to destroy the Wang family and Yongnian Building because he had received their kindness and had feelings for them.
But she was different. She didn't care about favors or not. She wanted the Wang family to be ruined in a spectacular way, and for the world to see their hypocritical true face! Wang family? Yongnian Building? All of them should be destroyed! If grandpa wanted to blame someone, he could blame her.
Anyway, he never said harsh words to her! But slowly, Nanzhi seemed to be less angry.
Perhaps it was because the more she looked back, the more she realized that her grandfather gradually mentioned things about Yanjing less and less.
On the contrary, her name was written all over the diary.
'Zhizhi fell down while walking today, she didn't cry, but her face turned red'; 'Zhizhi secretly ate spicy noodles, but unfortunately forgot to wipe her mouth'; 'Zhizhi was criticized by the teacher and cried'; ...
Branches, branches, all branches.
Grandpa said many times in front of her that he was glad that he returned to his hometown and met her.
She is the greatest fulfillment in his life.
Even in the last few years of his life, he had made all preparations to return to Yanjing, but he was still reluctant to leave.
"I see."
Nanzhi suddenly understood.
Nan Yi didn't understand, so she urged Nan Zhi to tell her: "Mom, mom, what do you understand?"
His big eyes were filled with curiosity.
Nanzhi smiled at him: "I understand your great grandfather's thoughts!"
She sighed and said,
"I used to think that your great grandfather had not returned to Yanjing because he was still unwilling to condemn his master and senior brothers, and did not want to hurt the Wang family and Yongnian Tower. But now I finally understand that he actually wanted to go back. Since he chose to go back, he was ready to become an enemy of the Wang family and uncover all the truth. He just..."
"Just what?"
Nan Yi asked impatiently.
Nanzhi smiled, but there was more sadness in her smile.
"He just got caught up in my way."
She didn't want to blame herself.
Because that's grandpa's choice.
For grandpa, revenge or her, she is more important.
Nan Yi was confused:
"So you still want revenge?"
Nanzhi: “…Of course!”
The Wang family and Yongnian Building must receive the punishment they deserve.
Nanzhi was just too lazy to spend more energy and emotion on them.
Nan Yi understood what he said, and he jumped up from the bed:
"Okay! Mom, let me help you!"
