CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 214: MISS ZHENG

Gu Nian said so, and Mrs. Jiang didn’t suspect a thing.

She’s eaten the food at Qinglin Restaurant too, and indeed, it isn’t as delicious as what’s made by her own daughter.

After finally dealing with them, Gu Nian let out a sigh of relief upon exiting the door.

Standing on one side of the courtyard wall outside the main door, she looked back and saw a luxurious carriage parked at Nan Jin Yu’s doorstep.

She recognized this carriage; it belonged to that guy, Zheng Shaochen!

What is this guy doing here at this time?

Could it be that he’s here to lodge a complaint against her to Nan Jin Yu?

Filled with curiosity, Gu Nian stepped forward and walked towards the back.

Just as she reached the entrance, she heard laughter and cheerful voices coming from inside.

It was the voice of girls.

Nan Jin Yu had moved in for a few months, yet this was the first time she saw girls coming to visit him!

With strangers around, Gu Nian intended to quietly head back.

Unexpectedly, before she could turn her head, Wuming came out from inside and ran into her.

"Miss Gu, you’re here?"

Wuming’s question instantly exposed Gu Nian’s presence.

Gu Nian nodded, "Hmm, I didn’t expect Nan to have guests. I shouldn’t disturb, so I’ll be heading back."

Just as Gu Nian wanted to turn around and leave, Nan Jin Yu’s voice came from inside, "Since you’re here, come on in."

It seemed inappropriate to leave now.

Following Wuming inside, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Nan Jin Yu seated in the courtyard with Wuxin standing behind him.

Beside them, Zheng Shaochen and a graceful young girl in a yellow jacket sat accompanying, with two maidservants standing behind the girl. Her smile hadn’t faded, looking warmly at Nan Jin Yu.

"What are you standing there for? Come sit!" Nan Jin Yu’s words had just landed when Wuxin brought over a stool.

Only then did Gu Nian come to her senses, "I didn’t know Nan had guests. I’m here to disturb; I ask the gracious sister’s forgiveness."

Gu Nian gave the girl in yellow an adorable smile, but saw an expression of surprise on her face.

The girl in yellow directed a questioning look at Zheng Shaochen next to her, who immediately explained, "Second Sister, this is Miss Gu from Taohua Village. She has excellent cooking skills and often makes food to sell to Cousin in exchange for money. Cousin likes her quite a bit, so he has her call him Brother."

Miss Zheng was quite shocked, "So that’s it. It’s hard to imagine such a young girl having cooking skills! Even harder to believe Cousin likes her!"

"That’s nothing; the smoked sausage that’s all the rage at Qinglin Restaurant lately was made by this little girl,"

When Zheng Shaochen said this, he was rather proud. Gu Nian thought, he probably didn’t know she had bought an entire restaurant.

"Really, this kid is just too amazing, right?" Saying this, Miss Zheng spoke to Gu Nian, "Little girl, since you’re so skilled, why not give us a demonstration? Rest assured, as long as the dish is good and satisfies us, you’ll certainly be rewarded generously."

Gu Nian pursed her lips and smiled, "That might disappoint Miss Zheng. I’m still young and can’t even reach the stovetop. At home, I only speak, and it’s my family who cooks. Since they’re not here today, I’m afraid I can’t serve you."

"Then have your family come over! Don’t you rely on this to earn silver? It’s not like I won’t give you silver!" Miss Zheng’s tone was somewhat dismissive.

When she previously cooked for Nan Jin Yu, he would reward her, but would say little else and certainly wouldn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

This Miss Zheng, amidst her laughter, undeniably showed her high and mighty attitude.
