Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 32 - 28: Sun Jian’s Decision

Sun Jian looked at Tang Yiyi with a complex expression. He used to think dealing with his uncle’s family was a huge hassle, but unexpectedly, she not only resolved the issue swiftly but also managed to get them to compensate 200,000 Credit Points. He didn’t know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don’t want that 200,000; it’s all yours. You deserve it."

Tang Yiyi was quite surprised that Sun Jian would say something like that. She hesitated for a moment but ultimately shook her head, "I’ll only take 100,000; you keep the remaining 100,000. It’s what they owe you. As for anything more, you probably shouldn’t expect to get it back in this lifetime."

However, this time, Sun Jian uncharacteristically insisted, and he transferred the entire 200,000 to Tang Yiyi without taking a single point for himself. He concluded, "Since you got it back, it belongs to you. Even though I may be incapable, I understand at least this much." Tang Yiyi wanted to return the money to him, but considering her current debt and the child in her belly, she hesitated.

She needed to earn enough Points to pay off her debts, and Credit Points were essential. Although she could rely on the system for some checks, necessary items for a pregnant woman and her child had to be bought, making it impossible to save money. While 200,000 Credit Points wasn’t much, it could alleviate her urgent needs and serve as initial capital to earn more Credit Points.

Half an hour passed in no time, and Sun Jian’s personal terminal suddenly received four messages. He was first taken aback and opened them to find they were from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The ministry had processed the application from the Sun Family and sent messages to Sun Jian asking whether he agreed or disagreed.

Sun Jian stood there blankly for quite a while, with many thoughts running through his mind. Although Tang Yiyi seemed indifferent, she was secretly watching his actions, waiting for his response. She had already decided that with 200,000 Credit Points, leaving Sun Jian wouldn’t be an issue. If Sun Jian chose not to sever ties with the Sun Family, she would leave immediately to avoid being dragged down by this fool in the future. But if he agreed, they could cooperate.

Sun Jian hesitated for a long time, and just when Tang Yiyi was ready to give up, his face suddenly turned into one of determination. Then Tang Yiyi watched him choose to agree to sever ties. Tang Yiyi suddenly laughed, envisioning the expression on the Sun Family’s faces upon receiving this news.

Seeing her laugh, Sun Jian also suddenly laughed. He looked at the submission success notification on his personal terminal and felt an unusual sense of relief, as if a heavy shackle that had been weighing him down had suddenly disappeared. He had severed ties with those people. From now on, even if they came back to bother him, he could directly call the police and get them arrested. He would never have to worry about those people again!

Seeing that he wasn’t beyond hope, Tang Yiyi gave up her plan to leave. She checked the time and said, "Alright, since you’ve made your decision, don’t regret it in the future. If you dare to resent me then, I won’t acknowledge it. It’s getting late; take me to the supermarket. I need to buy groceries."

Sun Jian’s tone was unusually firm. It wasn’t clear if he was trying to convince Tang Yiyi or himself, but he said, "I won’t regret it." He felt that this was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life, and he definitely wouldn’t regret it. Even if he did have regrets in the future, he would never resent Tang Yiyi. He wasn’t an ungrateful person; Tang Yiyi had become the bad guy on his behalf, and he would never forget this kindness for the rest of his life! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Hearing Tang Yiyi say they were going to the supermarket, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment but still didn’t refuse. Although the supermarket items were quite expensive, Tang Yiyi had just done him a huge favor, and he couldn’t be stingy at this moment.

The two of them took a ride to the nearby supermarket. Sun Jian had no idea what to buy, so he silently followed behind Tang Yiyi, watching her push the cart and shop lavishly. He managed to stay calm when he saw Tang Yiyi buying kitchenware and ingredients, but he couldn’t remain calm when he saw her buying a massage chair and nutritional supplements specifically for pregnant women!

Previously, when Tang Yiyi dealt with the Sun Family, she did mention she was pregnant. However, neither the Sun Family nor Sun Jian took it seriously. They had all seen Tang Yiyi in action; how could they believe she was pregnant? What pregnant woman would fight instead of staying home carefully nurturing a pregnancy?

Sun Jian stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looking at Tang Yiyi foolishly. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he sidled up to her, lowered his voice, and cautiously asked, "You... why are you buying these? You’re not really..."

Tang Yiyi turned her head before he could finish and gave him a cold glare, warning him in a low voice, "Shut up! It’s enough that you know, don’t say it out loud!"

"You really are..." Sun Jian was even more shocked, almost blurting it out, but under Tang Yiyi’s cold, fierce gaze, he had to cover his mouth. Tang Yiyi snorted and gave him another low warning not to let it slip, then continued pushing the cart to shop.

She didn’t have many Credit Points, and the supermarket’s prices weren’t cheap, so she had to choose as cheaply as possible and only buy what’s currently urgent. She didn’t dare buy more! When it came time to pay, Sun Jian was startled by the bill, and Tang Yiyi frowned tightly, not looking too pleased. Fortunately, the supermarket was quite considerate and, seeing she purchased products for pregnant women, offered her a sample set of maternity nutrition meals and told her she could come back to buy more if she liked the flavors.

Tang Yiyi gave a faint smile and didn’t say anything, leaving the supermarket with Sun Jian. With so many items, Sun Jian had no choice but to act as the porter, obediently carrying the goods while following behind Tang Yiyi. On the way back, Tang Yiyi suddenly spotted a market nearby and stopped in her tracks, pointing at it and asking Sun Jian, "What’s that?"

Sun Jian was quite familiar with the place and, without even looking, told Tang Yiyi, "That’s a vegetable market, where vendors sell their own goods. It’s rather dirty and messy but cheaper than the supermarket."

Tang Yiyi always used to shop at supermarkets and didn’t know such vegetable markets existed. Hearing Sun Jian’s explanation, she frowned and complained, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I went and bought so much at the supermarket, what a loss!"

Sun Jian didn’t dare mention that he feared she might disdain the messiness of the market, so he said, "Do you want to take a look? Although the timing isn’t ideal, we could take a look. If you find it acceptable, you can shop there from now on."

Tang Yiyi glanced at the large bundle that Sun Jian was holding and thought for a moment before saying, "You take these back; I’ll go check it out alone." Although he was quite cowardly, she felt a bit bad for making him carry all those things and follow her around a messy vegetable market.
