Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1146 - 1148: Lady Guo Wants to See Chef Jiang
Why is it like this?
Could it be that he never wanted to see her?
Did he agree to go to the Guo Mansion just because of the restaurant business?
Was it her overthinking things?
...
...
At this moment, Xiaotian’s heart was in turmoil.
Thinking it over, since she was already here, whatever the case, she had to see him face-to-face for a final confrontation, so they could go their separate ways from now on.
She spoke, "Zi Lan, go find Xiao’er!"
"Yes, Young Madam." Zi Lan followed the order and left the private room.
She returned quickly, with Xiao’er following behind. Xiao’er felt a bit apprehensive, "Madam Guo, what can I do for you?"
"Go and get your Chef Jiang and tell him I need to ask him something in person!"
"Okay, sure." Xiao’er was already a bit at a loss and quickly ran off.
What to do now, this is going to expose everything.
He shouted as he reached the kitchen, "What should we do, what should we do?"
"What’s got you in a panic again?"
"Madam Guo wants to see Chef Jiang!"
The moment he said this, everyone was stunned on the spot; this was not good. Going out would reveal everything.
No way he could go out there.
So what should we do?
Someone suggested, "Why not just be honest and say this is the real Chef Jiang!"
The moment this was said, there was immediate opposition, "That’s not possible, Chef Li specifically said that he is the new Chef Jiang, we can’t expose this."
"Then what do you suggest?"
"In my opinion, we should do this."
In the kitchen, several people were discussing the countermeasure.
...
Xiaotian sat in the private room, feeling a bit nervous; her palms were sweating from the tension. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
She thought, when Fugui arrived, she would find a chance to send Zi Lan out.
A moment later, she finally heard footsteps, and her heart was pounding.
Finally, when someone walked in, it was only Xiao’er’s figure she saw, and she was extremely disappointed, "Where is your Chef Jiang?"
"Madam Guo, our Chef Jiang, after cooking your dishes, was called to Lin County for something urgent, he just left not long ago, I’m really sorry, he can’t come to see you, maybe next time!"
This was the story they came up with in the kitchen; originally, they should have just said he went to Lin County, but Xiao’er had fumbled, and they still ended up using this story.
At this moment, Zi Lan spoke, "He went to Lin County, when will he be back? The day to cook at the Guo Mansion is approaching quickly."
"Don’t worry, Chef Jiang promised he would go to the Guo Mansion on time." Xiao’er assured.
Sitting there, Xiaotian found herself a bit ridiculous.
So it turned out she was overthinking things herself.
Maybe, seeing her married and pregnant, he no longer wanted to have anything to do with her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come up with such a lousy excuse to avoid her.
What was she disappointed about?
Isn’t this the outcome she wanted?
They wouldn’t meet again in the future, each living their own lives, not disturbing each other.
This was actually quite good.
She stood up and said, "In that case, Zi Lan, let’s go too!"
"Yes, Young Madam."
Zi Lan supported Xiaotian as they left the private room, Zi Lan settled the bill at the counter, and they got onto the carriage.
On the carriage, Zi Lan spoke, "Young Madam, did you have something to discuss with Chef Jiang? He will be at our Guo Mansion in a few days, you can talk to him then."
"It’s nothing, I just thought today’s dishes weren’t as good as the ones he made at the Guo Mansion the other day, I wanted to remind him to pay attention next time."
"I see, then I’ll remind him next time he comes, tell him to cook properly."
