Life Changing System

Chapter 157 An Explanation

Xu Xue Ning and Xu Xin Tong walked into the kitchen. The kitchen here was not big, but its functional area was quite spacious. One could say it was a quality kitchen.

The kitchen was fully equipped with essential kitchen equipment. Moreover, the kitchen was very clean.

“First younger and second younger mistress.”

A voice sounded immediately after Xu Xue Ning and Xu Xin Tong opened the door. It was the voice of Auntie Yi, who was busy preparing tea. She stopped her preparations when she saw the two of them enter.

“Auntie Yi, please hurry and serve the tea to our guest,” Xu Xue Ning told Auntie Yi.

Auntie Yi smiled and nodded. She was still wondering why the two young mistresses were in the kitchen.

“What are you two doing in the kitchen? If you need anything, you can just tell me.”

What Auntie Yi just said indicated that she was in charge of everything in the house, be it cleaning, doing laundry, or cooking.

Hearing that, Xu Xue Ning shook her head a little. “It’s okay, auntie. I’ll be cooking by myself this time.”

“What are you talking about?” Auntie Yi could not help but blurt out. She thought there was something wrong with her ears.

She was stunned when she heard that her young mistress would be cooking by herself.

It was only normal that Auntie Yi would react this way because Xu Xue Ning rarely cooked by herself. She would usually cook 4 to 5 days a month at most.

As for the taste of the food, it was on another level. Even Auntie Yi was fond of Xu Xue Ning’s food.

Not only Auntie Yi but also everyone who had tasted Xu Xue Ning’s food. It proved that Xu Xue Ning’s food was definitely extremely delicious.

“Big sister will be cooking by herself today. You can take the tea to our guest. He’s in the living room with Er Er right now.”

Xu Xin Tong spoke up when she saw Auntie Yi’s reaction. Her voice was calm and cold, yet polite and respectful.

“I... I’ll be doing just that, second younger mistress,” Auntie Yi said while trying to tamp down her surprise.

Inside, however, she still wondered why her young mistress suddenly felt the urge to cook by herself. Was it because of Bai Chen?

She did not dare to ask because it seemed too personal. She shook her head to get rid of these thoughts and continued to make the tea in a hurry.

In less than a minute, the tea was finished. She put a beautiful porcelain teapot with a pretty pattern on it down on a tray with orange juice, cookies, and teacups with the same pattern as the teapot on them.

It was definitely the very same tray that she was holding when Xu Xue Ning and Bai Chen had come into this house.

Actually, she had been planning to serve the juice and cookies to the second younger mistress, Xu Xin Tong. She arrived home a little before Xu Xue Ning had. But she had had to prepare the tea for Bai Chen according to Xu Xue Ning’s order.

Therefore, she was going to serve all of it now, even though Xu Xin Tong was with her in the kitchen.

Auntie Yi took the tray with everything on it in her hands and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Xu Xue Ning and Xu Xin Tong alone.

Xu Xin Tong looked admiringly at her perfect big sister.

“You’re not going to explain things to me a bit?”

It was obvious that Xu Xin Tong was rushing Auntie Yi to go serve tea to Bai Chen so that she could ask Xu Xue Ning about what she was curious about.

What had happened in the living room just now had made her very curious. In her heart, the image of her big sister, who was two years older than her, had changed completely from before.

It seemed like the perfection, flawlessness, and incomparable beauty that she had been admiring all her life had somehow changed.

How had it changed, one might ask? That was because Xu Xue Ning had just brought home a man and, even worse, that man seemed to be quite close to Xu Er Er, her little sister.

If it was not Xu Xue Ning who had introduced them, it was impossible for Xu Er Er to have gotten to know a stranger like that.

Due to all these reasons, why would the image of her big sister not change in Xu Xin Tong’s mind?

Xu Xue Ning nodded. Her eyes showed a little perplexity. “Let me explain, Xin Tong. He’s my benefactor. He has only acted as my benefactor once, but many times. That’s why I’m treating him to a meal today.”

She stopped for a moment and continued. “As to why Er Er is so close to him, it’s because she’s met him before. Even before I did.”

Of course, Xu Xue Ning did not speak the whole truth. She could not say things like how she thought that Bai Chen was a Legendary Realm cultivator to Xu Xin Tong.

Xu Xin Tong did not even know that she was a cultivator herself. How could she say anything about Bai Chen? That was why she did not speak the whole truth.

Xu Xin Tong listened quietly until the end. Her perfect eyebrows were tied up in knots, but she still thought that Xu Xue Ning was speaking the truth.

The reason why she furrowed her brows like that was that she did not understand Xu Xue Ning and Bai Chen’s relationship. In less than a minute, she finally decided to ask.

“What’s your relationship with him?”

Xu Xue Ning went silent after hearing that question. Her eyes shone with even more complicated feelings. After a short moment, she finally replied, “He’s only someone to whom I owe gratitude. Actually, he’s romantically pursuing Xu In.”

That answer was the absolute truth. The truth that she could not deny. Her relationship with Bai Chen could only be that. He was the one who had told her that he was pursuing Xu In.

But it was only the truth for Xu Xue Ning because what Bai Chen had told her was a lie. He had not been able to find a better answer at the time.

“Xu In? You mean Long Xu In?”

Xu Xin Tong could not help but ask this. She finally understood everything. Her big sister and Bai Chen’s relationship was not anything serious.

And Xu Xue Ning had not introduced Xu Er Er to Bai Chen because they already knew each other even before Xu Xue Ning had.

The perfect image of her big sister had returned to normal.

“Yes,” Xu Xue Ning replied softly. “Okay, forget about this topic. Come help me cook.”

“Okay.” Xu Xin Tong did not hesitate to reply, but she still had not expected that Bai Chen was also one of Long Xu In’s followers.

Of course, ‘followers’ meant people who were trying to court her. Even so, Xu Xin Tong did not give that much attention to the issue.End of Chapter 157
