Because I simply love you-Chapter 39: The wedding anniversary (9)
Chapter 39: The wedding anniversary (9)
Suyin trembled.
“So please. Don’t try to disrupt anything now. I don’t care what you realized now or what had you not realized two years back. I only want my son’s happiness. Which is not with you.”
Mother Chen didn’t give any time to talk any further.
“Let’s go dear.”
Chen Guiren nodded and went with her.
Suyin dug her nails in her palm.
Why? Why is everyone being so difficult?
She started heading back to her table when from a distance she saw Jianyu and Nana talking.
From the way she could see it, it felt like he was praising her for something.
But for what?
She got curious and discreetly stood behind a pillar to hear their conversation.
“Nana. Just look at how many guests are liking your food. From appetizers to desserts, everyone can’t help but chew their fingers too.” He laughed.
Her food?
“Yes. I’m really happy. I was so nervous. This is the first time I am serving such affluent guests.”
“But look. Everything is going just perfect.”
“Yes. And all thanks to you. You not only suggested giving this catering job to me but also helped so much along the way. I couldn’t have done all this without your support.”
“Aww, now you are making me cry.”
Suyin couldn’t contain her shock.
Wait a minute…I did read that she runs a small restaurant. She is the caterer for this event!?
She remembered how she praised the chef for the food and even asked Huian to give his contact.
Turns out that it was her all along.
I cannot believe I praised such a lowlife like her!
And Aunt Chen calls me selfish? This girl has used Jianyu to grab such a big contract and make connections with all types of important people. So that her business would grow. Isn’t this selfish too? Then why so biased against me?
She smirked. Jianyu said that everything is going well. Let’s see for how long.
She made a plan.
—
After talking with Nana, Jianyu excused himself to talk to some other guests.
Nana was handling one live counter where she was cooking Mapo Tofu.
Suyin went there and said arrogantly, “A serving.”
Nana smiled and said, “Yes mam.”
Yukito and Yukira scowled. Is this the way you ask? She is not your maid. Can’t you ask politely?
Cao Mingyu also didn’t like her.
What a mean ugly sister!
Nana made one hot serving of Mapo Tofu and presented it to her.
“Mam. Your dish.”
Suyin smirked.
She took her plate and after a minute, she came to Nana and raised her voice.
“You! Who is in charge here? I want to talk to him right now!”
Nana got stunned.
“Mam, what happened?”
“Why should I tell you? You call the in charge!”
At this point, everyone’s attention was on them.
After watching Suyin shouting at Nana, Mo Ya understood that she must have planned something.
“Suyin. What happened?”, Mo Ya asked in fake concern.
Suyin got her signal and acted along, “Just taste my Mapo Tofu! It’s so salty! How can anyone eat this salty food?”
Mo Ya then feigned a shock reaction and tasted the Mapo Tofu.
“Ewww! It’s so salty!”, she turned towards Nana and accused, “You! Is this how you cook? Do you want to kill Suyin with this much excessive salt?”
Nana was flabbergasted. And panicked.
“Mam. Please calm down. Can I taste it?”
“Yes! So you better understand your unprofessionalism!”
Nana took a bite of it and got shocked.
What? How is there this much salt? I remember I definitely put the right amount? How did it become so salty?
She quickly said, “Mam. I remember I put the right amount of salt. I-I don’t know how did it become this salty.”
“What? So you mean I’m lying? Are you saying that I’m framing you?”
“No mam-“
“Shut up!”
Yukito and Yukira couldn’t hold themselves back. “Hey, you! We don’t care who you are but you cannot talk to our sister like that! Do you know how much she pours her heart and soul into making any dish?”
“Both of you. Stop! You don’t talk to guests like that!”
Suyin mocked. “Perfect. You make a mistake in the first place and no matter what happens your brothers are defending you. What a strong bond!”
“Mam, I’m sorry on behalf of them-“
“What happened?”, asked Huian.
The Liu’s, Chen’s and Tang’s gathered hearing all the commotion.
“Huian! Look what she did! She made my dish so salty! I can’t even eat it now! And her brothers. They are defending her instead of apologizing!”
Yukito and Yukira gritted their teeth. All the other Natsukashi staff panicked as well.
This has never happened before! Mam has never made any mistake in cooking. So how did this happen?
Liu Jinhai raised his eyebrow and stared at her.
Father Liu surprisingly kept quiet.
Mother Chen narrowed her eyes.
Suyin didn’t know why but she felt an incredible pressure coming from all directions.
Mother Chen asked Nana, “Dear, tell me what happened?”
Suyin was stunned. She should ask me that question!
Nana nervously glanced at Suyin and said, “Au-, Mrs. Chen. I also am unaware of this. I remember I put everything in proportion. I don’t know how it became so much salty.”
Nana was scared now. The reputation was at stake here!
