“I’ve already told you the good madam’s taste. Prepare the dishes according to her taste. I’ll wait outside.”
Butler Chu stepped out of the kitchen. The more he interacted with Li An’an, the more he liked her. She was very smart and good at reading situations. She was also beautiful and had great culinary skills. Most importantly, Young
Master liked her. It was likely that something good was about to happen in the Chu family.
Auntie Zhang snickered as she helped out in the kitchen.
Li An’an made ten dishes and divided them into three portions. One was for Chu Yichen, another was for Long Ting, and the last was for Chu Yichen’s mother. These were her best dishes, fragrant and delectable. However, there was an extra bowl of soup for Chu Yichen’s mother. It had been carefully brewed by Li An’an.
This soup was not only good for nourishing one’s beauty, it had the ability to replenish one’s energy. Besides, it also tasted very good. Because the preparation process was complicated, Li An’an rarely made it. However, in order to prevent Chu Yichen’s mother from finding trouble with her, she had no choice but to do her best to make this soup.
After that, she placed it in a small stew pot and asked the butler to send it over.
“I can’t leave. I have to send the food to Young Master and Young Master Long later. I’ll have to trouble you with Madam.” Butler Chu smiled.
Li An’an felt a headache coming on. She wasn’t prepared to meet with Chu Yichen’s mother again. However, Butler Chu had already gotten into the car and did not give her a chance to refuse.
The woman had no choice but to get into the bodyguard’s car, to send the food to Chu Yichen’s parents.
The car arrived at the Chu family’s old residence. As Li An’an got down from the car, she was greeted by a wide lawn, a huge fountain, a beautiful garden, and a group of servants.
She was ushered into the house.
The moment she entered, she saw Bai Dong sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. She was wearing a white loose silk dress and did not look like she was in the best of health. Beside her was a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Chu Yichen. Although he was almost middle-aged, he had a powerful aura.
This was, without a doubt, Chu Yichen’s father.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I’ve brought some food.” She greeted them in a quiet voice and placed the food she had brought on the mahogany coffee table in front of them.
Bai Dong rubbed her forehead and closed the magazine she was reading. She did not sleep well last night and had no appetite. Only now did she recall that she had asked Li An’an to deliver food.
“You must be Li An’an. Have a seat.” Chu Zhenting, on the other hand, seemed very easy to talk to. He sized Li An’an up and down. Just as Butler Chu had described, she was beautiful and her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
After what happened with Gu Na yesterday, they were no longer so particular about people and status. Instead, they valued character more.
“Thank you, Uncle, but I still have to go back to the office, so I won’t stay long.”
Bai Dong glanced at her unhappily. “If the elders ask you to take a seat, just take a seat.”
Li An’an had no choice but to sit down on the white sofa. She appeared calm, but she was in fact feeling restless.
Bai Dong sized up the dishes she had brought over.
“What dishes did you cook? Let me state upfront that I’m a very picky person. The old residence is staffed with star chefs and they cook delicious food every day. If your cooking doesn’t taste good, I won’t eat it.”
Li An’an laid out the dishes she had brought over on the table.
“It’s all home-cooked food. I don’t know if it suits your taste. You may try this wild yam and black chicken soup as a starter. I used wolfberry cinnamon, ginseng, and many other ingredients to carefully brew it. It has the effect of nourishing one’s beauty.”
Bai Dong glanced at it with disinterest. She had had enough chicken soup. However, as Li An’an lifted the lid, she caught a whiff of a strong fragrance.
She held the small bowl in her hand and scooped some chicken soup with a white ladle.
Although it was chicken soup, there was no sign of chicken meat in it. There was only the soft yam. The fragrance of the chicken soup combined with the soft yam was really amazing. She could not help but take another bite.
Chu Zhenting’s gaze fell on the Dongpo braised pork ribs. He had to admit that this dish was really aromatic..
