Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Guests Enjoy Themselves

So there, Old Sir Zhong and Father Jiang were talking about everything under the sun which completely didn’t relate to the today’s main topic.

As for Xiao Bai, he thoroughly spilled all of Wan Chu’er’s secrets to Mrs. Jiang.

No way!

Why didn’t she see any disapproval from Mrs. Jiang, but instead a face full of pity, she even teared up.

Wan Chu’er was full of frustration.

Bai Qiyan, what kind of sob story did you sell about me?

I’m a steel warrior woman, not a delicate little cabbage, not three years old!

It just so happens that Old Sir Zhong, as steady as a mountain and unshakable, kept directing her to pour tea and water, and Father Jiang also sincerely kept up with Old Sir Zhong’s topics.

Although she had eighteen wild horses roaring in her heart, she could only put on a cool and composed demeanor.

Just when her patience was about to run out, Old Sir Zhong finally spoke.

"Chuchu, go tell Mrs. Zhu to prepare some more dishes for lunch today, let’s keep the guests for a meal."

Eh?

Wan Chu’er relaxed inside, Old Sir Zhong is acknowledging Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Kechu.

She smiled slightly, "Okay, Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunt, I’m going to excuse myself first."

See, how ladylike, how polite.

This is my true self, don’t be fooled by Bai Qiyan.

Before leaving, when passing by the incessantly talking Xiao Bai, she couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and twisted his bottom hard.

"Ow!" Xiao Bai jumped up instantly.

Oh, Bai Qiyan, when did you become so intolerant to pain.

Pretend, you keep pretending!

Wan Chu’er reacted even faster, the next second she widened her eyes, and with a concerned face said: "Second Brother, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell, do you want me to help you upstairs to rest?"

Then she turned to Mrs. Jiang, who looked surprised, and smiled, "My Second Brother is very active, just like a naughty monkey, please don’t mind."

Xiao Bai pushed her, "Hurry up and go to the kitchen to talk to Mrs. Zhu, always butting in like a child."

This push sent her a good distance away, no good to return.

Wan Chu’er walked towards the kitchen with a face full of sorrow.

Just before reaching the kitchen, she happened to meet Jiang Kechu and Li Shan coming down from upstairs, one after the other.

Seeing Wan Chu’er’s sad and smiling face, Jiang Kechu couldn’t help but laugh, "What happened? Did Xiao Bai bully you again?"

Wuu wuu...

Uncle Jiang really understands her.

Wan Chu’er was deeply moved, and ignoring Li Shan behind, she went up and grabbed Jiang Kechu’s arm, complaining:

"I can’t live like this anymore, that guy Bai Qiyan smears me in front of your mom, calling me a thug, and then comparing me to a spoiled cabbage, I’m mortified."

Jiang Kechu held back his laughter and comforted her, "Don’t worry, I’ll tell my mom that you’re a good girl, and my mom isn’t someone who can’t discern, she’ll definitely like you."

Wan Chu’er felt comforted, she nodded woefully.

Seeing Li Shan’s expression as if he’d seen a ghost, shaking his head as he left, Wan Chu’er recalled their previous upstairs matter and asked quickly:

"What did you and Li Shan do upstairs, did Li Shan bully you?

Don’t worry, if Li Shan has bullied you, I will definitely get justice for you, watch me beat him up!"

Jiang Kechu felt very warm-hearted in an instant. Seeing no one around, he pulled Wan Chu’er to a corner, lowered his head, and tenderly kissed her forehead, saying:

"Rest assured, Li Shan didn’t bully me. We just had a little spar upstairs."

Wan Chu’er asked with concern, "Between you two, who is more formidable?" Then she added ingratiatingly, "I think it must be you who are more formidable."

Jiang Kechu relaxed all his muscles, embraced her, suppressing the urge inside him, and smiled,

"Your thinking is spot on!"

Then he kissed Wan Chu’er again and let her go, asking, "Where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Chu’er smiled, "Old Sir Zhong wants us to stay for dinner, he asked me to inform Mrs. Zhu. This is a good sign, it shows that Old Sir Zhong really approves of you and your family."

Jiang Kechu nodded, "You go ahead, I’ll go and have a talk with Old Sir Zhong."

He couldn’t disappear for too long; otherwise, it would be suspicious if only he and Chuchu were missing from the living room. Others might guess what was happening, which wouldn’t be good.

After today’s ordeal, there will be plenty of time in the future.

Wan Chu’er comforted Jiang Kechu, instantly dispelling her previous sorrowful mood.

She bounced into the kitchen and told Mrs. Zhu, "Mrs. Zhu, we have guests today. Grandpa wants us to prepare something delicious for lunch to entertain them."

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Okay, do the guests have any dietary restrictions?"

Wan Chu’er smiled, "I know."

The Jiang Family is quite easygoing about food and doesn’t have any specific dietary restrictions. If there’s any, it would be their love for gourmet food.

With Mrs. Zhu around, this was not a concern.

However, Mrs. Jiang can’t eat very spicy food, while Father Jiang loves spicy food.

"Mrs. Zhu, just ensure there’s a good balance between meat and vegetables, some dishes mild and some spicy."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and nodded, then started cooking.

Wan Chu’er saw Mrs. Zhu working alone on a meal for many people and decided not to leave, staying in the kitchen to help.

After several attempts to send her away, Mrs. Zhu, seeing her sincere attitude, happily kept her to help with some light tasks.

The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Father Jiang found it extremely satisfying, and Mrs. Jiang was also very happy.

When leaving, Mrs. Jiang held Wan Chu’er’s hand warmly, "I heard you and Xiaoxiao are friends too, do visit us more often when you have time."

Wan Chu’er nodded in agreement, and together with Xiao Bai and Li Shan, they saw the Jiang family out.

Once the guests had left, Wan Chu’er closed the door and went to catch Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai, prewarned, ran quickly and directly slipped behind Old Sir Zhong to hide.

"Wan Chu’er, Second Brother is doing this for your own good. This is a major issue in your life, someone has to play the bad guy. Who else but me can handle such matters?"

"It’s better to make things clear sooner rather than later, to avoid the Jiang Family making a big deal when they discover your real character. That way, they won’t be able to criticize you later."

"You ungrateful girl, you repay kindness with ingratitude! I mean, really... Old Sir Zhong, you should get involved with your granddaughter too."

Li Shan, watching these two bicker like three-year-olds, looked up at the sky.

How could he end up living under the same roof with such immature people? His only focus was to protect Old Sir Zhong and prevent any accidental harm to him from their quarrels.

Old Sir Zhong rarely smiled and said, "Xiao Bai did well today."

"See, see, Wan Chu’er, I was just following orders." Xiao Bai quickly brandished this like an Imperial Sword.

Wan Chu’er stomped her foot, thinking to herself: I’ll deal with you later.

Then she turned around and asked Old Sir Zhong with a smile, "Grandpa, what do you think of Jiang Kechu? I heard Li Shan has never beaten Jiang Kechu."

Li Shan’s face darkened instantly.
