Lu Jianshen squinted at Tang Li; this was clearly intentional harm!
Tang Li raised an eyebrow. She didn't think that eating such strange-tasting dishes on New Year's Eve would affect her mood.
"Do you know that I spent a whole week learning how to cook this meal!"
Tang Li looked at Lu Jianshen with a serious expression, "Why don't you go and eat it? Don't waste it?"
"Tang Li!"
Lu Jianshen got up and stormed back to his study. This guy had absolutely no idea what romance was!
A-Lu sent his mother photos from Sanya.
"Mom, I had a great time in Sanya. Are you all happy for the New Year at home?"
Tang Li found a good angle and took several more pictures of the dishes Lu Jianshen had made, then sent them to her son.
"Look, none of the dishes your dad cooked are edible. They all look alright, but the taste is completely off!"
Looking at the table full of food, Ah Lu couldn't help but feel sorry for his poor old father, who had probably spent the whole afternoon preparing it.
"Mom, shouldn't you comfort your frustrated husband?"
She truly is a mother unlike any other. If it were any other mother, she would be praising her husband to the skies right now!
After all, it's rare for my husband to be in such a good mood, so he specially prepared a large table of New Year's Eve dinner, which probably took him an entire afternoon.
Tang Li pouted, "I told him not to waste food and to finish everything on the table, but he wouldn't eat it."
If even Lu Jianshen himself wouldn't eat it, how could anyone else possibly eat it?
Tang Li had her eye on Chef Zhao's cooking skills and was saving room for a big meal, so she definitely wouldn't eat these!
A-Lu replied, "Mom, you're so heartless, my poor old father!"
Shen Qingxu glanced at Alu and said, "You seem to have a good impression of your dad?"
"Of course, he's still my dad no matter what!"
Shen Qingxu pursed his lips; he really disliked that old bastard Lu Jianshen.
"You little rascal, do you know why your uncle had time to bring you to Sanya for vacation this time?"
Alu shook his head blankly.
He also found it strange, as his uncle had been very busy recently and even said he might not have time to take a vacation during the Chinese New Year this year.
Recently, I suddenly had a long vacation and I'm going to take him to Sanya for a holiday.
"Uncle, have you been quite free lately?"
The little guy, clutching the coconut in his hands, tilted his head and frowned, asking, "Are you unemployed?"
"It's all because of your deadbeat father! He snatched that Blue Ocean project I recently signed!"
After Lu Jianshen took over the Blue Ocean project, Shen Qingxu had time to do her own thing and could even consider going on vacation. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse!
He didn't tell Tang Li about this.
If Tang Li starts arguing with him again because of her, Lu Jianshen will start to suspect that their relationship is not right!
"You don't need to tell your mom about this; it'll only upset her!"
A-Lu looked at his uncle with admiration, "Uncle, you're a really good person."
Shen Qingxu: "..."
He was forced to play the good guy.
"Let me tell you, my dad was busy all afternoon today, cooking a huge feast, and my mom still criticized him because his cooking was terrible!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingxu's mood suddenly brightened considerably. His beloved nephew knew how to comfort people!
"Your dad deserves it, he should get a good scolding!"
————
Tang Li thought Lu Jianshen was easy to coax, but Lu Jianshen ignored her.
Tang Li ignored the dishes he had carefully prepared, which was disrespectful to him!
Two hours later, Chef Zhao replaced all the dishes on the table with delicious food.
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Lu! I'll head back now!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Chef Zhao!"
Tang Li looked at the table full of delicious food and had a big appetite. She went upstairs first and invited Lu Jianshen down to have New Year's Eve dinner.
Lu Jianshen ignored her.
"I'm not hungry at all, you eat it yourself!"
Tang Li squinted; it seemed that some people were genuinely angry.
"Chef Zhao made my favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and your favorite sweet and sour mandarin fish! Lu Jianshen, aren't you being a bit stingy? I made your birthday cake myself last time, and it still went bad, didn't it?"
It's just a matter of reciprocity.
Lu Jianshen frowned. "So you want revenge now, is that it?"
Lu Jianshen was surprisingly confident in his cooking skills; he didn't think there was anything wrong with the dishes he had prepared!
Tang Li was losing patience. The sweet and sour pork ribs wouldn't taste as good once they cooled down!
She was a little annoyed. "You tried the dishes yourself just now, and they weren't good enough. We finally get to spend the New Year together, why do you have to eat something that doesn't taste good?"
That makes sense.
Lu Jianshen also felt less angry.
"I've been busy all afternoon..."
Tang Li frowned. "I'll clean up the table later, okay?"
Lu Jianshen nodded and got up to leave the study when Chen Lei called.
Tang Li knew that he was going to talk about business, and was about to turn around and leave when she overheard Lu Jianshen talking to Chen Lei on the other end of the phone.
"You'll have to figure out a way to develop that piece of land in Blue Ocean yourself. I don't have a clear plan yet. We'll go and inspect it on-site later..."
Blue Ocean Land...
Tang Li found the name familiar and suddenly remembered what Shen Qingxu had said last time.
Did Lu Jianshen steal Shen Qingxu's bid?
Tang Li wasn't sure if she had misheard or misunderstood something.
