Chapter 33: Cousin Lianyi
Le Yao was shaken like a rattle. She hurriedly raised her hand and pressed down on the other party’s shoulder. “Qiao, calm down. If you continue shaking, my mind will be filled with mush. Can you tell me what it is first?”
Qiao Qiao quickly let go, but happily grabbed her arm again. “Have I told you that my aunt’s niece is sick?”
Le Yao shook her head. She hadn’t. The book didn’t mention it either.
“My eldest aunt has a niece called Feng Lianyi. She’s my eldest aunt’s niece. She also graduated from Jiao Tong University. Back then, she was a talented girl in the law department. Now, she has her own law firm, Dongfeng Law Firm. You can look it up on the Internet. She’s definitely a strong woman. Perhaps she worked too hard. Recently, there’s been a problem with her body. She just can’t eat. She throws up whatever she eats.” As she spoke, Qiao Qiao sighed. “When she went to the hospital for a checkup, all her indicators were normal, but the food was unbearable to her. My grandfather nursed her with Chinese medicine for a while. She doesn’t throw up now, but she doesn’t have an appet.i.te for anything…”
“And?”
“Just now. She went by as soon as we left. My aunt said she actually smelled the cake left in the kitchen herself. She went looking for it and ate the two pieces of tiramisu cake you brought with you, and she wasn’t satisfied…” Qiao Qiao’s eyes were bright. “What does that tell you?”
“What?”
“It means your cooking is amazing. You saved a career woman and a rising star in the legal profession…”
Le Yao chuckled. “Why don’t you say that I saved all of humanity, the planet, and the galaxy?”
“That would be an exaggeration. You’re not that good.” Qiao Qiao waved a hand.
Le Yao was speechless.
So you know the word ‘exaggeration’? That’s unexpected. Le Yao thought.
Just then, Qiao Qiao’s phone rang. She looked down at it, then dragged Le Yao away. “Let’s hurry home.”
Although Le Yao was a little confused, she did not say anything and followed her back.
However, she saw someone at the door of their house. To be precise, it was a well-dressed woman with exquisite makeup.
“Cousin Lianyi.” Qiao Qiao laughed when she saw her. “What are you doing here?”
“Isn’t this for my own life?” Feng Lianyi smiled brightly as her gaze landed on Le Yao’s face. “I could eat the dessert you made and I really want to continue eating it, so I can only come and disturb you.” As she spoke, she pointed at a large bag at her feet. “I brought my own ingredients.”
Qiao Qiao looked at Le Yao.
“No problem.” Le Yao smiled. “As long as Miss Feng doesn’t mind.”
“That’s my cousin. You have to call her sister too. Call her Cousin Lianyi.” Qiao Qiao poked Le Yao.
“Cousin Lianyi,” Le Yao said smoothly.
“Good girl.” Feng Lianyi carried the things into the house and sent them straight to the kitchen. “Since you called me sister, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I want to eat spaghetti steak borscht. I can help.”
Le Yao smiled. “Cousin, aren’t you afraid that I can’t make steak pasta?”
Feng Lianyi was stunned. Clearly, she had never considered this question.
Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but sigh. Lianyi really didn’t treat herself as an outsider.
“Then… then can you?” Feng Lianyi seemed to feel that she had been too rash and showed a hint of embarra.s.sment.
