Chapter 336 Cooking Skills
Xiang Mao didn't want to offend Cheng Jin, a potential client, so he finally made the call. Although Hou Lianping was a little surprised, she agreed.
The three of them arrived at about the same time. Hou Lianping opened the door carrying vegetables, and Xiang Mao and Cheng Cai followed behind. The scene looked like a mother with two children.
"Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou, please take off your mask and show it to me."
Cheng Cai chased after Hou Lianping, and her excited look was especially similar to the gossiping netizens in her live broadcast room.
She had only seen Cheng Jin's sister a few times, and she seemed to be a person without a sense of boundaries. Hou Lianping said nothing and carried the things to the kitchen.
"This place is so small, Mr. Hou. Didn't my brother find another house for you at that time? That shouldn't be the case. My brother is very considerate to every girlfriend he has."
Facing Hou Lianping, Cheng Cai spoke without restraint.
"The place is a little small, so you can ask your brother to take us all in. We don't mind."
"Maomao, isn't it?"
Living with Boss Cheng means living in a villa, surrounded by servants. Xiang Mao has always been a person with no moral bottom line. He nodded and said, "It would be great if I could live there. Cheng Cai, could it be that your eldest brother asked you to come here today?"
Now it was Cheng Cai's turn to be speechless. "No, I don't even live with my brother, let alone you guys."
"Xiang Mao, aren't you a rich second-generation? Where's the house?"
Cheng Cai asked, his car looked pretty good just now.
"I didn't say that. I'm a second-generation entrepreneur. I split every penny in half!"
"What! You have no money!"
As he spoke, Xiang Mao took a cucumber from the kitchen and started eating it without washing it. Hou Lianping patted his butt and tried to snatch the cucumber away.
"Bring it here quickly, I'll wash it for you!"
"No, no, everything you bought is delicious."
"What's so delicious? Let me wash it. It hasn't been washed yet. It's unhygienic."
"No - I don't care, as long as it's something you give me. Even if it's poisonous, I'll take it willingly!"
"You're the only one who can coax people with your mouth!"
Hou Lianping glanced at Xiang Mao with tender eyes. She knew Xiang Mao didn't have much money, but he was good at flattering people with his mouth, but she just fell for it. Maybe it was because she was old, or maybe it was because she didn't have to worry about saving money for her daughter anymore.
When Cheng Cai saw the two flirting with each other, she felt like her eyesight was not good.
"Okay! I'm still here!"
Seeing that the two men couldn't stop at all, Cheng Cai could only remind them.
"Mr. Hou, why don't you take off your mask, oh no, your face shield!"
His eyes were just rolling around. Cheng Cai admired this second-generation entrepreneur for being able to say such corny words just looking at a pair of eyes.
The charming atmosphere was broken, but since she was the "son-in-law's" sister, and thinking of her daughter's carefree life, Hou Lianping had to endure it.
She ripped off the mask in a flash. Although her face was still a little stiff, it was much better than before!
"unlucky!"
"Isn't this face skin pulled too tight? Mr. Hou, your eyes look like they're hanging. Do you have trouble closing your eyes when you sleep at night?"
"Why does your nose look like an eagle's hook? Mr. Hou, are you wearing a mask?"
"Oh my god..."
"This……"
Cheng Cai surrounded Hou Lianping as if they were admiring specimens in a museum.
"Okay. Go to the living room and watch TV. Sister Pingping is still recovering and will be back to normal soon."
Cheng Cai was even more straight than him, and Xiang Mao couldn't stand it anymore. He stuffed the last piece of cucumber into his mouth, and seeing Cheng Cai standing in front of Hou Lianping and not leaving, he directly pushed her away.
"Why? I can walk by myself!"
Cheng Cai muttered, this guy is really, it's a good thing that she had some feelings for him before! He actually pushed her directly, she swore that this was the most un-idol drama-like physical contact between men and women.
"Mr. Hou, you'd better not use a knife anymore. Using a knife is the lowest form of behavior! My brother will give you—"
Cheng Cai was about to say something nonsense, but Xiang Mao pushed her out of the kitchen.
"If you want to eat here, just sit on the sofa and watch TV."
"No. Go home and eat."
If this woman keeps on complaining, he won't have dinner today. Xiang Mao hates people who don't eat regularly.
"Huh, I didn't realize you were so protective of her."
"What do you like about her?"
"Is age more caring?"
Cheng Cai was pushed and felt angry, and started to speak without thinking.
"What does it have to do with you? This is Pingping's house, not your home. If you say another word, go back to your own home immediately."
Xiang Mao became impatient. Does this woman know how to speak? How can she speak like that in front of people?
"you!"
"I am old and I am more caring! Miss Cheng, you are young and beautiful, and your husband is handsome and capable, so you naturally don't know the hardships of being a single mother."
Hou Lianping was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Ping Ping~"
Xiang Mao felt sorry for her, as she had to act as a peacemaker even after being slapped in the face like that.
"Okay! You two watch TV for a while, I'll go cook."
"Then I'll help you!"
"No need! You've been busy all day so have some fun."
"I'm not tired! I want to be with you!"
……
The two of them were so affectionate and finally went into the kitchen together. Cheng Cai witnessed all this and felt a little unwilling. How could Hou Gong, who was so old, still find a boyfriend younger than her! And her boyfriend was so clingy to her! On the other hand, Dai Mengyang was better last night, but today he kissed the construction site again! Did she look in the wrong direction? Cheng Cai randomly adjusted the TV and thought randomly.
In the kitchen, Xiang Mao hugged Hou Lianping from behind. He buried his head in her neck, and his hot breath made Hou Lianping feel itchy.
"Stop it, I'm cooking!"
"Maomao~"
Xiang Mao held Hou Lianping like a little child and hummed some words.
"I just don't like her talking like that."
"What's wrong with their family being rich? Just because they have money they can talk like that. It's rude!"
"Okay, okay. How come you're even angrier than me?"
Hou Lianping, an old hand, felt warm in her heart. She hadn't felt this way for many years.
"Of course, you're not angry because you're generous! I can't stand hearing others slander you!"
"What's more, she's just a freeloader. Blame me. I shouldn't have called you."
There was a hint of sincerity and regret in the young man's words.
"Well, then I'll punish you to cut fruit."
There was a hint of lightness in Hou Lianping's tone. She had been dealing with men for half her life, and now at this age, she was actually learning to fall in love like young people. As for things in this world, no one knows what will happen until it all comes to the end.
"Okay! I obey!"
Xiang Mao jumped up immediately. Hou Lianping smiled and told him to hurry up. Along with the sound of running tap water, the kitchen was filled with the atmosphere of an ordinary family.
Cheng Cai was sitting outside alone. Although her eyes were on the TV, her ears were perked up to listen to the noise inside.
After another quarter of an hour, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed the door and shouted, "I'm starving. Is there anything better?"
"So slow, I'll go with you guys."
Without waiting for the two to answer, Cheng Cai joined them.
Xiang Mao was peeling yam, and she asked, "What is this hairy walking stick?"
Hou Lianping was shredding potatoes. She asked, "Is this a potato or a sweet potato?"
The two looked at her as if they were an alien.
"Miss Cheng, why don't you go out and play."
Hou Lianping sincerely suggested that the kitchen was small to begin with, and with Cheng Cai added in, the three of them wouldn't be able to move around at all.
"No, I want to learn too!"
She refused to leave even though she was asked to. Cheng Cai was a bit rebellious. She had no sense of being a guest at all, but instead acted like a superior who was on patrol.
"Miss! Just get out of here. You can't even turn around!"
Xiang Mao has really had enough, and he now suspects Cheng Cai of seeking revenge against Hou Yuxiang.
This shabby place was indeed small, and it looked shabby inside. Cheng Cai was disgusted. She stood at the door of the kitchen, shaking her legs as she said, "Okay, I'll watch you guys."
Let’s see how you two are being affectionate, Cheng Cai stared at them like a supervisor.
"Oh, Miss, you have never seen anyone cook."
Xiang Mao retorted to her and ignored her.
"Humph, I just haven't seen it. Why..."
Cheng Cai took out her cell phone and said this. She not only wanted to see it, she also wanted to take a picture and send it to her brother to show him that his ex-girlfriend and her young boyfriend were living happily.
After receiving the "debt collection" message, Cheng Jin took a look and immediately replied "crazy".
"Brother Jin, I'm leaving~"
Hou Yuxiang was reluctant to leave.
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Come on, I'll watch you go in."
Cheng Jin stood in front of the car and watched Hou Yuxiang leave.
