Li An’an was dumbfounded as she watched Chu Yichen’s parents gobble down the food she had prepared. Didn’t they say that all the chefs in the Chu family residence were star chefs? Why did it feel as though they’d never had good food hAfnra?
However, she did not dare to comment. She sat quietly by the side and waited for them to finish eating.
Bai Dong finished the last piece of pork rib and satisfactorily put down her chopsticks. “Hubby, I’ll give you all the Dongpo meat, I won’t eat it, I’m on a diet.’
Chu Zhenting smiled and nodded at his wife dotingly. He put the last piece of Dongpo meat into his bowl and elegantly finished his meal.
After that, Bai Dong went to rinse her mouth and wash her hands. Then she returned and sat back down.
The servants had already removed all the cleaned-out dining ware on the table and were serving the cut fruits.
Bai Dong sized Li An’an up from head to toe again before remarking grudgingly, “I didn’t expect you to be able to cook so well. So it seems you captured my son by satisfying his stomach.” Her heart ached a little. When she was a child, she had taught her son not to be fooled by beautiful women, but she had not taught him not to be appeased by beautiful women who could cook. That was miscalculation on her part.
“Although you cook delicious food, I still won’t agree to you being with my son.” How could such an outstanding son be bought by a meal? She would continue to seek an outstanding daughter from a prestigious family for him. Li An’an nodded. “I know. I’ve never thought of marrying him either.”
Bai Dong was immediately displeased. “Why not? Is my son not good enough for you that you’ve never thought of marrying him?”
Li An’an was speechless. She wasn’t allowed to marry him, and now she had to explain why she didn’t wish to marry him? What did the woman want? Chu Yichen’s mother was really hard to please.
Chu Zhenting patted his wife’s hand comfortingly. “Alright, you’re an elder. Don’t argue with the younger generation about these things. We’ll talk about it in the future. She’s a guest. An’an, help yourself to the fruits.”
Li An’an picked up a grape and ate it. She felt like going home immediately.
Chu Zhenting asked, “I heard that you were sent to an orphanage after your father committed the crime. You grew up in an orphanage and only had a high school education. Don’t worry. I’m just asking casually.” After all, it was all about his own son. He had to be clear and take into consideration all aspects of things. Especially so for children of such families, it wouldn’t be surprising that they suffered psychological issues. It may even impact their next generation. These were all things that had to be considered.
Li An’an nodded. “Yes, after what happened to my father, I was sent to an orphanage, but I was adopted when I was eight years old.”
Bai Dong interrupted, “Then why did you stop your studies after high school? Was the family that adopted you very poor?”
Her son had two master’s degrees, while Li An’an had a high school education at best. The gap was too big, and her son was so capable and outstanding. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like Li An’an was taking advantage of their family.
Li An’an thought for a moment. She didn’t really want to reveal all the dirty things that her adoptive parents had done. “No, they had a good family background. It was my own fault that I didn’t finish school. If I were to have time in the future, I’ll put in more effort in my studies.”
Bai Dong took a sip of tea and rolled her eyes. “You’re not young anymore. It won’t be that easy. It looks like my son has gotten himself a bad deal.”
Li An’an was speechless. It wasn’t as though she was marrying Chu Yichen. He was the one forcing her to stay by his side. What did she mean by her son getting a bad deal? However, this was how parents were. Her son was simply an existence that people worshiped.
Chu Zhenting consoled his wife. “Education is important, but it’s not absolute.
Character is the most important.” After saying that, he looked at Li An’an. “We’ll continue to observe you.”
“Honey, like I said, I don’t agree, I won’t agree so easily.” Bai Dong kept interrupting to express her dissatisfaction and even reached out to scratch Chu Zhenting.
Li An’an felt that the two of them were flirting in front of her!
