Chapter 1252

From childhood to maturity, she hated when people would describe her as a golden spoon-fed little princess, receiving endless glory and wealth. As an adult, she grew to despise being referred to as a descendant of the Duke’s Mansion.

She didn’t want to rely on her family for fame as she was skilled enough to stand out on her own!

"Regardless of what you think, Grandfather has to go tonight. If he doesn’t, then I will," Mrs. York put her foot down.

"All of you, get Young Miss dressed immediately."

And so, Mane York was reluctantly fitted into an exceptionally beautiful gown and escorted into the car with the Master.

Jixiang lived in Spring Gardens, which was quite far from here; a drive would take half an hour.

Their car was halfway there when Chloe Collins had already arrived at her destination, she tied an apron around her waist and began helping Jixiang in the kitchen.

The tap water was gushing continuously. Chloe washed off the flour on her hands, listening to Jixiang gently narrate Mane York’s past.

Essentially, she was a diligent and ambitious child.

"She is two years younger than you. I didn’t expect you two to cross paths," he said.

"Teacher, you don’t need to take this matter to heart. It wasn’t your fault."

Jixiang laughed awkwardly and said, "Regardless, I shouldn’t have used your work as a reference back then. I was careless. By the way, has the Duke given you any trouble?"

Chloe raised her eyebrows: "Trouble?"

"Yes, the Duke is exceptionally protective of Manie. He doesn’t tolerate her being wronged. With the numerous online slander, I fear the Duke might blame you for this incident. So, I hope this dinner can mend your relationship and Manie might speak up for you, then everything will be alright."

"Teacher, you don’t need to worry."

She gave a faint smile, picked up the fruit plate, and walked out.

Looking worried, Jixiang sighed, "Cindy, this isn’t like before. The Duke cares a lot about his reputation; he’s a tough nut to crack."

"I care about my reputation too."

Jixiang blanked out, "Cindy, are you not afraid of the Yorks at all?"

In her impression, her student had always been bold, almost fearless of anything. Whether it was her style of work or social interaction, she never showed timidity.

Chloe just said, "Teacher, you don’t need to worry about me."

Not long after, Manie York arrived. The sight of her assisting the Master out of the car surprised the waiting Jixiang.

"Duke! Why are you...?"

Master responded nonchalantly, "I had some spare time, thought to accompany Manie. Is everything ready?"

"Ah..yes, it’s ready, please come in."

Filled with fear, Jixiang was taken aback. Initially, the intention was for the three of them to have dinner and clear up the matter, but she didn’t expect the Master to insert himself into the situation.

Now, it wasn’t so easy to have that conversation.

She gave Chloe a look indicating her unawareness about the situation.

Chloe remained indifferent. After a slight nod, she followed the two inside.

After a simple introduction, the four sat down at the dining table.

The food was all homemade by Jixiang. Even though it was everyday food, it was delicious and had a warm touch.

"Come on, everyone, make yourselves comfortable," Jixiang said gently, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.

The Master and Mane York hadn’t moved their chopsticks when Chloe decided to help serve Jixiang with a piece of meat.

Master sighed deeply, "How could you dare to touch your chopsticks before your elders?"
