Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Lovely Aunt Xiang

"Yueyue, you have no idea how worried I was about you," Lin Xiang’s eyes were a bit moist. "You’re not allowed to do this next time, you must let Auntie know where you’re going, okay?"

Her hair was cut short, dressed so thinly, her hands ice cold, and her skin on the face had even roughened, she had gotten even thinner.

She had seen her as too skinny before, her skin also rather sallow she bought tonics for her mother and Sister Li to stew for her, and she had finally gotten a bit fairer, only to revert back to how she was.

"I understand," Yun Yue’s expression was somewhat complicated. Since she entered the Lin Family, Lin Xiang had been extremely enthusiastic, to the point of making her uncomfortable. Gradually, she had gotten used to it, but having not seen her for two months made it strange again.

"Time to eat, the dishes are ready." Lin Xiang pushed her toward the dining table and personally pulled out a chair for her, "Sister Li, make a couple more dishes that Yueyue loves. Don’t we still have ribs? Stew the tonic I bought."

Lin Xuanze felt left out: "Mom, there won’t be enough to eat."

"Then you don’t eat, yours can go to Yueyue," Lin Xiang served her food without glancing up.

"?!"

Lin Xuanze couldn’t believe this was something a mother would say!

At the dining table, Lin Xiang nagged a lot, and Yun Yue started to get impatient again. Yet seeing her gentle and graceful demeanor, she instantly lost her temper and could only look down, propping her chin with her left hand, nodding vaguely.

Lin Xuanze wanted to laugh seeing her like that, laugh his head off, his mom finally had someone else to nag at.

"Aunt Xiang, you should eat more vegetables." Yun Yue served her some meat, trying to stop her from talking.

Lin Xiang was instantly moved, her Yueyue was considerate now.

Yun Yue looked at all the meat on the table, puzzled. How was it possible that after two months, they still hadn’t finished eating the meat?

Could it be they didn’t eat meat usually?

Then why did Lin Xuanze’s face look rounder?!

After the meal, Lin Xiang dragged her straight upstairs, "Look, I have cleaned your room every day, and I crammed your closet with more clothes too, all in your favorite colors and they are warm."

"Right, I found a gun while tidying up your desk last time. I broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, and when I touched it, it had a real good feel, very much like a real gun..."

As Lin Xiang spoke, she had already opened her drawer, still horrified from the memory, almost called the police, but then her mother mentioned it was a toy gun and she didn’t.

"This is a toy gun, given to me by a friend to play with." Yun Yue was dead serious, tossing her backpack on the bed, dismantling the "toy gun" in a few quick moves, revealing a sweet smile: "See, it’s fake."

"No wonder, it must be quite expensive, it really looks like a real gun!" Lin Xiang was initially startled, amazed, and said with a laugh, "If you like toy guns, Auntie will get you one as well."

"..."

Let’s just forget about that!

"Aunt Xiang, I want to take a bath and rest a bit. Call me for dinner later." Yun Yue said with a bit of a headache.

"Okay, I won’t disturb you. I will cook dinner for you myself tonight." Lin Xiang smiled and closed her bedroom door. Lin Xuanze happened to pass by and directly chased her away, asking her not to disturb Yun Yue’s rest.

Chased away, Lin Xuanze returned to his own room and opened his mobile phone.

[First-hand exclusive scoop, 50 yuan each, send the red packet.]

[???]

[Don’t think because you are a big-shot brother you can do whatever you want. How much money have you swindled from us?!]

Yang Xing silently took note of the accounts, very generously included everyone’s red packets in the total, and directly sent 3100 yuan over.

Including this one, he had already spent tens of thousands of yuan, wait for me, young master!

Sooner or later you’ll spit it all back out!

Lin Xuanze saw the red packet and his face bloomed into a smile, smugly clicking to find the red packet was claimed!

[!!!]

Who else dared to take his red packet?!

At this moment, Yun Yue was lying on the bed with her beautiful eyes half-closed, collecting the red packet into her change purse. Lin Xuanze truly had Aunt Xiang’s genes for making money, being able to make a profit even in a gaming group chat, and Yang Xing, like the proverbial rich, but naïve farm boy, just giving it away!

She claimed the red envelope, though.

Red envelopes sent in the group chat are meant for everyone to claim, right?

She sent a message, "Exclusive scoop?! Seems like you all got along quite well without me around."

Class Seven’s group chat exploded instantly.

"Are my eyes deceiving me?!"

"No, you aren’t seeing things, it’s real."

"The living legend!"

Lin Xuanze slammed his phone down in anger when he saw that Yun Yue had claimed the red envelope!

Argh!

It was driving him mad!

How could her internet be so fast!

What a crappy phone!

He couldn’t even beat her brick of a phone!

"Waaaah, boss, you’re finally back, you don’t know how worried we were about you."

"Yeah! Lin Xuanze said you were in the hospital, who knows how dangerous hospitals can be, we were worried about you every day."

Class Seven’s gaming group chat turned into a melodramatic soap opera, and Lin Xuanze got goosebumps all over, closed WeChat, and went into the game.

Yun Yue’s lips curled into a wickedly smug smile, "Cut the crap, did you finish your homework? How many points can you score now?"

"..."

A boss is truly a boss; they are crying with emotion, yet she isn’t moved at all, her heartless words shatter hearts.

They all silently put down their phones and frantically started working on problems, who would have thought she’d return so quickly!

Right now they were still stuck in the same place, just managing not to regress was already pretty good.

It seems like there won’t be any good days ahead.

She smirked as she watched the group chat quieten down, her eyes flicking upwards, both mischievous and wild. In a few days, she would deal with this group, but first, she needed to sleep, she was too tired.

She slept until seven in the evening, the room was warm from the heating, which made her relish the warmth of her bed a little too much.

After drinking a glass of water and putting on a coat, she went to the bathroom, washed her face to sober up a bit, and then trudged out.

"Madam, that’s not how you stir-fry... less salt, even less..."

"Sister Li, it’s on fire, it’s on fire!"

Panic-stricken, Lin Xiang’s voice came from the kitchen. Yueyue stood at the top of the stairs and watched; Lin Xiang, holding a lid and looking at the flaming pot, seemed helpless yet somehow adorable as she hopped up and down.

Yueyue’s lips slightly curled, and she slowly walked downstairs to the fridge for a drink, finding nothing there.

"Yueyue, you want a drink, huh!" We finished them a few days ago, and no one seemed to have delivered any since I called yesterday; we might have to wait another day or two, "Why don’t you have some Dong’e Ejiao, it’s super nourishing."

Lin Xiang, with an apron around her waist, had the look of a kitchen virtuoso. If Yueyue hadn’t seen her struggling a moment earlier, she might have been fooled.

Yun Yue watched as Lin Xiang brought over a bowl. After taking a sip, which was exceptionally sweet, the sharpness in her expression softened considerably. She sat on the couch with the bowl, drinking and watching TV.

Lin Xiang saw her enjoying it and her smile deepened. She had been unwell before and had been eating the same thing, good for detoxing and nourishing the skin. Seeing her cold hands and pale, waxen face yesterday, this was the best thing for her.

"Sister Li, how do you make this braised fish?" Lin Xiang hadn’t expected cooking a proper meal to be so difficult. It seemed she would have to learn properly in the future; this was even harder than managing the Lin Group.

"Madam, you start by deep-frying it until golden... Maybe I should do it, you can assist me on the side." Sister Li saw Lin Xiang with a throbbing headache; having worked for the Lin Family for decades, it was her first time seeing her cook. Honestly, she really cared for this stepdaughter.
