Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Zicheng’s lips moved a few times. He wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but when he met Lu Yanxi’s understanding and apologetic gaze, he was speechless.
Fang Zikai suddenly ran over and grabbed Lu Yinxi’s hand. He said to Lu Yinxi, “Your family has a turtle! Our family has one too. What’s the name of your turtle? What does your turtle eat? Does it lay eggs?”
As Fang Zikai spoke, he pulled Lu Yinxi to see the turtle.
After they walked away, Fang Zicheng relaxed a little.
Qiao Jiusheng and the others had specially come to thank Boss Lu and his daughter for saving Fang Zicheng’s life. Before coming, Qiao Jiusheng had discussed with Fang Yusheng several times, but she could not decide what to give Boss Lu’s family.
!!
If she gave money directly, Boss Lu would definitely not accept it. If she gave gifts, Boss Lu would reject gifts that were too expensive. After thinking about it, Qiao Jiusheng bought a set of high-end skincare products, a set of luxurious fas.h.i.+on jewelry, and a branded bag for Mrs. Lu. Boss Lu liked to cook, so they gave him a set of custom-made kitchen knives.
Their family still had a child, Lu Yinxi, so Qiao Jiusheng bought a set of practical colored pens, a full skating set, and a full set of toys with Disney characters and Barbie dolls.
They were all practical gifts.
Lu Yinxi especially liked the gifts Qiao Jiusheng had bought for her. Every one of them was what she wanted the most. The house was only a hundred square meters and there was no place to skate, but Lu Yinxi could not wait to try on the shoes.
The shoes were slightly larger so they could be used longer.
Lu Yinxi had long wanted Barbie dolls. Daddy Lu had also bought her some, but he had never bought a full set. That set of watercolor pens was Lu Yinxi’s favorite. She took off her shoes and carried the small box containing the watercolor pens, inviting Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng to her room to play with graffiti.
The three children hid in the room and doodled noisily. In the kitchen, Boss Lu was cooking dinner while Mrs. Lu helped. Qiao Jiusheng took the initiative to help Mrs. Lu choose and wash the vegetables.
Fang Yusheng was like an extra person. He had nothing to do, so he stood at the kitchen door and watched the three of them work.
Boss Lu shook his wrist forcefully, and all the vegetables in the pot flew up and flipped in the air. Boss Lu used the pot to catch all the vegetables again. The entire process was smooth without a drop of oil or meat.
Fang Yusheng was amazed.
He couldn’t help but give Boss Lu a thumbs up and cheer loudly, saying, “Beautiful!”
“Not as pretty as you.” Boss Lu even joked.
Fang Yusheng smiled as well. He didn’t mind being joked about by Boss Lu.
Boss Lu picked up a frying pan, quickly washed it, and continued to stir-fry the next dish. Seeing that Fang Yusheng had been standing at the kitchen door and watching, Boss Lu found some topics to talk to Fang Yusheng about.
“Can Mr. Fang cook?”
Fang Yusheng thought for a moment before saying, “I only know how to cook instant noodles and fried steak.” He didn’t even dare to say that he knew how to cook.
Compared to Boss Lu, all his dishes were pig food.
No, pigs don’t eat human food.
When Boss Lu heard this, he laughed. “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if a man doesn’t know how to cook. As long as he’s rich and loves his wife.”
Fang Yusheng was very happy to hear this.
The two men chatted about cooking and loving their wives. They chatted endlessly, completely ignoring the two ladies squatting on the ground and choosing vegetables. Mrs. Lu was a quiet woman. When she smiled, it was very moving. Qiao Jiusheng had never seen her laugh.
She looked like a very cultured woman.
Qiao Jiusheng asked Mrs. Lu what she did for a living. Mrs. Lu said, “My parents are university professors. I was a ballet dancer in elementary school. I used to be a dancer and now I’m a ballet teacher.”
Qiao Jiusheng thought to herself that it was no wonder. She knew that Mrs. Lu had an extraordinary temperament. It turned out that she taught ballet.
“What about you?” Mrs. Lu smiled faintly and looked at Qiao Jiusheng’s face. “Mrs. Fang seems to be working too, right? I used to see you driving to work. What do you do?”
Qiao Jiusheng did not hide it from her and confessed, “I make jade carvings.”
“A jade sculptor?” Mrs. Lu was surprised. She stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s hands for a moment before saying, “I was wondering when I saw the calluses on your fingers just now. So you’re a jade sculptor. That’s not strange.”
She knew that Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng were both rich, so when she saw the calluses on Qiao Jiusheng’s hands, she was very surprised and could not guess her profession. Jade sculptors had to deal with jade for many years, so their fingers were definitely not delicate.
“Both of your children are studying at Xiangjiang International n.o.ble Kindergarten?”
“Yeah.”
“The school fee is quite expensive, isn’t it?”
“It costs more than a hundred thousand a semester.”
Mrs. Lu clicked her tongue and sighed. “That’s really expensive. I heard that the chefs at your children’s school are all Michelin chefs. Is that true?”
“It is.”
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was interested in Fang Zicheng’s school, Qiao Jiusheng said more, “The school’s environment and teaching quality are not bad. Their kindergarten is connected to Xiangjiang International College. After kindergarten, they can directly enter Xiangjiang International College to study primary, secondary, and high school.”
“What I value most is the transparency of the system. There are surveillance cameras installed in every corner of the kindergarten, as well as in the cla.s.srooms. We can learn about the children and the teachers by monitoring them whenever we want.”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was a little envious.
She said, “This is indeed good. Didn’t the news about teachers hurting children appear some time ago? I heard that there was even a school where teachers had s.e.x with children…” Mrs. Lu sighed. “It’s quite good.”
“Which school does Moose attend?”
Mrs. Lu said, “She’s at Dragon Harbor Kindergarten. I’m in charge of picking her up every day. Their school is not bad but it definitely can’t compare to Xiangjiang Kindergarten.”
The four adults chatted happily while talking and cooking. It was five past six before they were ready to eat.
The three children washed their hands and then took their seats.
Knowing that Qiao Jiusheng and the others were coming, Boss Lu went to the supermarket with his lover in the morning and bought brand new bowls and chopsticks. They had never interacted with a rich family like Fang Yusheng, so they did not know the Fang family’s living habits and took into account all the details they could think of.
All the dishes and utensils were brand-new, sterilized, and clean.
At the table, Boss Lu picked up a chicken wing for Fang Zikai and a boiled prawn for Fang Zicheng. “Uncle Lu is not good at anything else but cooking. When it comes to cooking, Uncle Lu is considered an expert.”
“Come, try my cooking.”
It was not that Boss Lu was bragging, but his cooking was indeed delicious.
Fang Yusheng was actually very picky. Even the food made by those Michelin restaurants that were rated five stars might not match his appet.i.te.
