Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Hope, happy cooperation!

At this point, Chen Jing felt that instead of discussing with these two who couldn’t find any faults in her dishes, it would be more constructive to discuss with Luo Yifan, who couldn’t even fry a poached egg.

"The Boss has gone to the Capital City and is likely to stay there for a while. Actually, our Boss loves staying in the old shop in the Capital City, because it was the first branch of Fanxin Restaurant."

Hearing this, Chen Jing had nothing to say.

"I will convey your thoughts to the Boss, but I’m still not satisfied. Or, let me try a little more myself. When I find a satisfactory method, I will invite you to discuss it. Is that okay?"

The two chiefs thought that her words made sense. After all, their first purpose was for these dishes. Now that they were satisfied with all four, it meant that their goal had been achieved. Staying there seemed pointless.

After Chen Jing sent the two chiefs away and closed the door, she took a bath and pulled out the sofa bed in the office to rest.

Recently, she felt that too many things had happened, leaving her helpless and too busy to keep up.

At first, it seemed generally about her eldest daughter’s affair, mostly as an observer. But recently, from Bai Xiangdong, to the competition, to her brother’s affairs, everything related to her directly. These issues tangled up and annoyed her.

If this had happened in the past, she might have chosen to ignore it and to shut herself in her own world, not allowing others to see her.

But what was the point?

She had nothing – no dignity, no confidence, not even the basic ability to protect herself. In such a big family, she was often treated as a dart target, at the mercy of others.

If she had been stronger, or realized Zhu Zhizhou’s underlying baseness earlier, her parents and brother wouldn’t have been forced into such a situation, and Ying’er wouldn’t have used her marriage as a tool for trade to achieve freedom for the three of them.

Although Ying’er is very happy now, it can’t hide the sin she committed as a mother.

Chen Jing, who was lying in bed preparing to rest, couldn’t lie down anymore. She got up, intending to have the driver take her to her brother’s again.

After all, they were her relatives. No matter how many times she had to go, and no matter what way she had to employ, she had to seek their forgiveness because she was the one who had done wrong first.

Chen Jing, who had changed clothes quickly and was preparing to leave, got a call on her mobile phone.

She picked it up and saw that it was Luo Yifan.

"Hello, Brother Luo!"

At this moment, Chen Jing’s voice was clear and clean as she had figured out a few things, completely unlike the gloominess and powerlessness she displayed a few days ago.

There was silence on the other end, remaining quiet for two or three seconds before asking, "They told me that you have decided to choose one from the four dishes?"

Clearly, the conversation at noon that day had been relayed to their boss by the two chiefs.

"I haven’t decided. They both said that any of the four dishes would be fine for pairing, but I’m not satisfied. I’m still trying different combinations here. But if you all think that any one of those four is fine, I have no objection!"

After calmly stating her point of view, Chen Jing waited for Luo Yifan’s reply.

Unexpectedly, what she got was a scolding from Luo Yifan who sounded infuriated and disappointed.

"I didn’t expect you to be such a casual person! Right now, I regret choosing to partner with you!"

Without giving Chen Jing a chance to explain, Luo Yifan ended the call.

Chen Jing was suddenly berated and felt both confused and wronged!

What was going on?

What did he mean by casual?

How did these two words apply to her?

Ever since he said he wanted to collaborate with her, she had been working tirelessly on researching new dishes in order to emphasize the flavor and style of the main course.

If others called her casual, she wouldn’t mind because they weren’t privy to the situation.

But Luo Yifan had been accompanying her in discussing this matter for such a long time. No one understood her efforts and dedication better than him.

But he, just because of this one sentence, casually rejected all her efforts and labeled her as casual.

What right did he have to do that?

It was clear that his chefs had said everything was okay, so why was she to blame?

Chen Jing thought more and more, and with frustration building, lost the mood to head out.

After all, visiting her brother required considerable courage. Otherwise, she was afraid that being scolded again would make her break down in tears on the spot.

Chen Jing, who was upset by Luo Yifan’s phone call, went into the kitchen. After a round of clattering, she made some soup and easy-to-digest food for Bai Xiangdong, then asked the driver to take her to the hospital.

Bai Xiangdong’s condition was getting worse. He was once full of thick hair, but now, more than half of it had fallen out – a sight that filled hearts with grief.

Chen Jing served him the soup, and the male nurse came over and said that he would feed him. Chen Ding initially wanted to feed him herself, but her phone rang again. Not wanting to disturb Bai Xiangdong, she handed the bowl to the nurse, didn’t even check the incoming call and promptly answered it.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"It’s me, where are you?" It was Luo Yifan, who had just hung up on her.

Without hesitating, Chen Jing responded, "At the hospital!"

There was another silence on the other end of the phone, then Luo Yifan spoke.

"You don’t have to try a new method. I will choose one from the four dishes. There will be a few days of exhibition time. I’ll notify you when the specific time is set. I hope we will have a pleasant collaboration!"

This time, Luo Yifan didn’t hang up immediately after he finished speaking. Chen Jing heard the sound of breathing through the receiver, as if he was waiting for her response. So she responded.

"Okay, I understand. I hope we will have a pleasant collaboration!"

This time, before there was any reaction on the other end, Chen Jing quickly ended the call.

After putting the phone away, Chen Jing let out a long sigh, turned around and walked back to the hospital room.

"Let me do it!"

Chen Jing took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and fed Bai Xiangdong.

After drinking the soup, Bai Xiangdong asked, "Ying Zi said you found your brother?"

Typically, one wouldn’t ask about such distressing topics, but Bai Xiangdong felt that given his current physical condition, he might faint and never wake up again, so he tried to show as much concern as possible.

"Yes, he wouldn’t talk to me though, he didn’t even look at me, he directly closed the door!"

Now, Chen Jing spoke about it calmly, but when she saw the door close with a "bang" that day, it felt like her world had collapsed in that moment!

"Your brother just needs times to adjust, go see him in a few days, everything will be alright!"
