There's No Way My Dad Is A Legendary Cultivator-Chapter 142 - A Battlefield on the Dining Table
Chapter 142 A Battlefield on the Dining Table
The show ended, and the crowd dispersed.
Everyone in the restaurant walked out one after another.
Jiang Ping and the others also stood up and wanted to leave.
Just as they were about to leave, they found Yan’er still sitting on the chair, looking at the stage in a daze.
When Jiang Ping saw this, he immediately squatted down and held the little girl’s hand. “What’s wrong? Are you mesmerized?”
Only then did Yan’er come back to her senses.
“Daddy, do you think that two people who love each other will eventually get separated?”
Jiang Ping patted the little girl’s head and smiled.
“Not necessarily. If they love each other very deeply, they will meet each other no matter how far they go.”
Yan’er asked again.
“Then Daddy, do you love Mommy?”
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment. He had already guessed what the little girl was going to ask next.
Before he could answer, Yan’er spoke again.
“Daddy, why haven’t I seen Mommy before?”
Jiang Ping was rendered speechless by the question.
The other two little girls also looked at Jiang Ping, waiting for his reply. At this time, Li Sushang also bent down and squatted by Jiang Ping’s side. “Because your mommy has other things to do now.”
“When she’s done, she’ll naturally come and look for Yan’er, Wan’er, and Liu’er.” 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
Yan’er looked at Jiang Ping with a curious gaze.
“Is what auntie said true?”
Jiang Ping tidied Yan’er’s hair. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
“Of course, it’s true. Daddy promises you that when your mommy is done with her work, I will definitely bring you to see her.” The little girl was finally not so depressed.
Feng Dan, who was at the side, held Zi Yue’s hand tightly. She did not even realize that Zi Yue’s little hand was already red from her pinching.
Zi Yue’s right hand gently patted the back of Feng Dan’s hand that was grabbing her left hand.
When she turned to look at Feng Dan, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. Jiang Ping held Yan’er’s hand and led everyone out of the restaurant.
Along the way, Jiang Ping told Yan’er a few jokes before he calmed the little girl’s worries.
When they returned to the mansion, Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi were not back yet.
Jiang Ping let the little girls play first while he went to the kitchen to scrub the crabs.
Jiang Ping rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working.
Feng Dan walked in.
“Let me help you.”
Jiang Ping waved his hand.
“No need. I can do it myself. You are a girl. How can you do such menial work?” But Feng Dan didn’t listen to his advice and insisted on staying behind to help Jiang Ping.
In fact, Feng Dan was the daughter of a large sect. How would she know how to handle such menial work in the kitchen?
Several times when she tried to grab the crabs, they ran away. Seeing this, Jiang Ping had no choice but to let her help him to take and pass the things to him accordingly.
The crab was put into the pot with hot oil. The fragrance was absolutely superb.
“Bring me a plate.”
Jiang Ping said to Feng Dan. Feng Dan obediently brought the plate to Jiang Ping and asked him.
“Can I ask you a question?”
Jiang Ping was focused on frying the crab and replied.
“What question?”
Feng Dan stammered, and her small hands clutched her sleeves.
“I want to know, the little girls’ mother…”
When Jiang Ping heard this, the spatula in his hand paused.
“I don’t know where their mother went either.”
After saying this, Jiang Ping continued to stir-fry the crabs, pretending that he didn’t care.
“It’s hard to say if we’ll ever see each other again in this lifetime.”
Feng Dan stared at Jiang Ping seriously and didn’t continue to ask.
She couldn’t tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
When Jiang Ping brought a big pot full of crabs to the table.
The three little girls were already in position, tapping the porcelain bowl with chopsticks in their hands.
“The dishes are served. You little greedy cats must have waited for a long time.”
Jiang Ping invited Zi Yue and Feng Dan to take a seat.
Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi hadn’t returned yet.
This made the three little girls extremely happy.
Especially Wan’er. Even though she looked calm on the surface, in reality, she had already prepared today’s “battle plan”.
The little girl muttered softly.
“Later, I’ll just pick up the dishes before I start eating. I’ll eat when I picked up enough.”
In order to eat enough this time, Wan’er specifically changed the small bowl that she usually ate from.
She changed into a pot that was bigger than her head.
Just as Jiang Ping was about to say start eating, Qiu Chi ran in while panting.
After entering, Qiu Chi panted heavily.
He went to the table to get a cup of tea. Regardless of who it belonged to, he drank it in one gulp.
Just as he was about to speak to Jiang Ping, Jiang Ping pointed at the crowd and said to Qiu Chi.
“Let’s eat first and talk later.”
Wan’er, who had her tea drunk by Qiu Chi, also said with some resentment.
“Yeah, Uncle Qiu, why are you always so impatient?”
When Wan’er saw Qiu Chi return, she was actually thinking, “Oh no, I have another strong opponent.”
Qiu Chi scratched his head awkwardly and sat down.
Feng Dan and Zi Yue had tasted Jiang Ping’s cooking before, and they were already salivating
Especially when the crab was done cooking and taken out of the pot, the entire mansion was filled with fragrance. It didn’t matter if the people were full or hungry.
They were all drooling. After they start, Wan’er quickly picked up a crab and put it into her bowl. In order to make room for the crab, Wan’er didn’t even fill the bowl with rice. Qiu Chi saw this and quickly complained to Jiang Ping “Master, Wan’er broke the rules.”
He didn’t stop his actions even as he spoke.
Jiang Ping snickered. “The rules have been set before. There are no rules when it comes to eating. Nobody said that you can’t use a pot. You should hurry up or else the dishes will be gone.”
Feng Dan and Zi Yue saw that the people at the table were so desperate. They didn’t care about their status and just stuffed the food into their mouths.
Soon, Wan’er’s pot was filled up.
Then, she walked to the side with the pot.
She put the pot of crabs on the bench and then squatted by the bench and started to eat.
Liu’er and Yan’er were not fast enough, and they were becoming anxious.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping had to help the two little girls with the dishes.
After a moment, Wan’er went back to her seat with a big belly.
She burped contentedly.
She looked at her “opponents” with arrogance.
The others were also full. Even if they were not full, there was only some soup left in the pot.
After dinner, Jiang Ping said to Feng Dan and Zi Yue that he would not send them off. He still had important things to do.
He told them to stay in the mansion for a while if they wanted to. If they wanted to go back, they could leave on their own.
Feng Dan and Zi Yue didn’t say anything. They walked around the Jiang Mansion, digested their food, and then went back.
After speaking to the two women, Jiang Ping brought Qiu Chi back to the study.
As soon as he closed the study door and before he sat down, Jiang Ping asked Qiu Chi.
“The matter which I told you to investigate. Did it go smoothly?”
Qiu Chi nodded.
Today, Qiu Chi went to the Hundred Treasures House to investigate the source of the stone amber that Jiang Ping had bought.
When the butler of the Hundred Treasures House saw him, he was extremely enthusiastic.
He went in and asked Director Fei Cai about the stone amber. At first, Fei Cai told him that by right, according to the rules of the Hundred Treasures House, they would not reveal any information about the owner of the goods.
However, it just so happened that the owner of the stone amber was one of the Hundred Treasures House’s people.
She was not afraid of being remembered by Jiang Ping, so she brought Qiu Chi to meet the owner.
