She knew that Uncle Yan’s heart was inclined towards that man, and if she were to speak ill of Ye Lixie in front of him, Uncle Yan would be displeased. Therefore, she was always very careful not to expose her dissatisfaction with Ye Lixie in front of Uncle Yan.
“Oh! I see! Then there’s no way around it. Uncle Yan can try to inform the CEO and ask him to reschedule or…”
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Xukang gave her a strange look.
“Weinan, can you cook a meal?”
“Eh? Me? I can only cook some home-style dishes.”
“Then… the food you cook is edible, right?” Yan Xukang was now desperate and decided to take a chance.
“No way! Uncle Yan, you’re joking again.” Sensing Yan Xukang’s intention, she immediately shook her head.
“Listen to me!” Yan Xukang suddenly grabbed her upper arms forcefully, his eyes revealing determination, “With my years of experience in judging people, I believe you can definitely cook a meal that will satisfy the CEO. I believe in your abilities.”
What? What’s going on now? What does he mean by “experience in judging people”? She remembered when they first met, Uncle Yan used to look at her like an annoying little dog. Where did he get the confidence to ask her to cook now?
This is truly crazy.
Unable to refuse Yan Xukang’s task, Lin Weinan could only grit her teeth and take action. She timidly picked up the phone to call her mother for help, asking about cooking tips and secrets. On the other end, her mother asked teasingly, “Weinan, why are you suddenly asking about cooking? Are you hosting a dinner?”
“No… not at all! A friend works at a restaurant and is short-staffed, so I’m helping out!”
She glanced sideways at Yan Xukang.
“I see! Okay! Remember to come home when you’re free. Your brother looks much better now and can go to school normally. Isn’t that great?” Her mother smiled and shared recent family updates.
“Mm! Is there enough money at home?” Hearing that her younger brother’s condition was stable, Lin Weinan’s mood also relaxed.
“Enough! Why did you send so much money last time? Do you have money to spare?”
