Chapter 353: Chapter 352: (3 more Chapters)

That evening, because of Xu Niannian’s arrival, the Jin Family’s servants were forced to log off.

Xu Niannian watched helplessly and with amusement as the Elder Master guarded the kitchen doorway.

"Grandpa, please wait outside. I’ll be done soon, no need to hurry," she said.

Xu Niannian’s cooking skills had already been highly praised by Wu Lan, Elder Master Jin, and Xu Qiang. Since the family had all tasted her Butter Sauce, they were particularly looking forward to her dishes.

The whole family was waiting for Xu Niannian.

Although Jin Yu was not too pleased, seeing that the whole family liked his wife, he didn’t say anything.

He simply rolled up his sleeves, entered the kitchen, and started assisting Xu Niannian without a word.

Hearing Xu Niannian’s words, Jin Yu glanced at the Elder Master: "Grandpa, if you don’t go out now, I will take my wife away and let you have the kitchen to yourself."

The kitchen was smoky, and despite the Elder Master’s robust health, he was getting on in years and couldn’t afford such exertion.

The Elder Master immediately frowned: "You unfilial descendant!"

Heh, Jin Yu found amusement, this old man.

Despite his complaints, the Elder Master obediently left the kitchen.

The family sat properly at the dining table, more orderly than ever before—even Jin Xiaoni, who had been punished to stand all day, was sitting quietly waiting.

Eagerly anticipating Xu Niannian’s delicious dishes.

Waiting like this was boring, so led by Wu Lan, the three women starting discussing.

Before, everyone thought Jin Yu’s wife was just a woman with decent cooking skills but plain looks.

Yet upon seeing her today, she defied all their expectations.

Her delicate face was so radiant that even Jin Nanxi took a liking to her.

To think that they had mistaken such a vivacious and delicate girl for an unattractive one before.

Ye Qin was also surprised.

Wu Lan even informed them of how impressively Xu Niannian was doing in business, that she had started building a factory, and that the newly opened Xu’s Liuyue Su in the capital was developed by Xu Niannian.

Jin Nanxi and Ye Qin were astounded: "That’s amazing? The little girl’s doing well."

Wu Lan covered her mouth with a proud laugh: "That’s right, and my daughter-in-law didn’t even rely on our family."

After that revelation, Ye Qin and Jin Nanxi were even more surprised.

Having finished that topic, the three women shifted their attention to something else.

"What do you think, how does Xiao Jin’s wife’s face get so white and smooth, like a peeled egg?" Jin Nanxi said, touching her own face," Why isn’t my skin that tender?"

Ye Qin and Wu Lan were speechless: ...

You’re already a mother; how much more tender do you expect to be?

At the dining table, the younger generation listened with numb expressions, while only Jin Ruiyang had a perpetual light smile on his face.

Elder Master Jin occasionally peeked towards the kitchen.

Xu Niannian was cooking in the kitchen, and with Jin Yu around, she naturally couldn’t use stream water.

But her cooking skills were at the level of a top chef. Even without stream water, the dishes she made were absolutely tantalizing.

She made a total of eight dishes: Chicken in Pig’s Stomach, Spicy Ribs, Soy Sauce Duck, Eight Treasures Soup, Braised Lion’s Head, and so on.

Each dish was fragrant and robust in flavor.

The broths were also made to be fresh, savory, and sweet.

The aroma drifted into the living room from time to time, tantalizing those waiting outside, who kept sniffing the air.

"Mmm, it smells so good. What exactly is my cousin-in-law cooking?" Xu Qiang inhaled deeply, unable to resist the temptation.

For a supreme foodie, this was a rare and delightful occasion.

If Jin Yu hadn’t been in the kitchen, he would have charged in and grabbed a taste with his fingers.

Apart from Xu Qiang, the other few were also seduced by the smell.

The dishes Xu Niannian made were tailored to the preferences of the Jin Family.

Before cooking, she had specifically asked if there were any dietary restrictions.

With the skills of a top chef and dishes that matched their tastes perfectly, it was no wonder the family was drooling.

Soon, Xu Niannian had finished all eight dishes.

After she finished, Xu Niannian was about to bring out the food. Jin Yu held her hand; as she wondered what he was up to, she heard Jin Yu shout outside.

"The dishes are ready. If you want to eat, come and carry them out quickly."

At his shout, a flurry of footsteps sounded from outside.

Then, Xu Niannian saw a group led by Xu Qiang rush in to carry out the dishes.

Even Jin Ruiyang and Elder Master Jin came to join in the commotion.

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but laugh and cry; it seemed the whole family had a thing for food.

Jin Ruiyang, with a calm expression, carried the last dish, a sly smile tugging at his lips.

When Jin Xiaoni caught a glimpse, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Big brother, how come you’re here too?"

"Hmm?" Jin Ruiyang answered warmly. The hand not carrying a dish pretended to adjust his glasses, "I was afraid you guys couldn’t manage, so I came to help."

Jin Yu gave him a cold look. Sure you weren’t just being greedy?

Jin Ruiyang raised an eyebrow. Mind your own business.

Jin Xiaoni gave a knowing "Oh," realizing her big brother was just here to help.

She thought as much; her big brother, who was always so indifferent, had never been so interested in food.

As they left, Jin Yu gave Jin Ruiyang a kick, which Jin Ruiyang returned as if his eyes were on the back of his head.

Xu Niannian nearly got caught in the crossfire, but fortunately, Jin Yu quickly wrapped her in his arms and spun her away.

Looking at the two childish men, Xu Niannian shook her head in resignation.
