Chapter 498: Chapter 499: You’ve finally succeeded, now you can do it for that sister.

Shibao Town Chu Mansion Dining Hall

Chu Huan had a face full of helplessness, this was already the fifth day tasting her brother’s cooking, and she really didn’t want to taste any more, "Brother, I beg you, stop poisoning us, okay?"

The Lady of the Chu family also had a look of disgust on her face, "Son, let the kitchen maid do it, our family doesn’t need you to cook personally."

Even the Old Master Chu, who had always supported Chu Lian, changed his tune this time, shaking his head and sighing as he spoke, "Son, you should spend this time managing the restaurant instead, you’re really not cut out to be a chef."

Chu Lian had been attempting to make the dish Golden Jade Full House at home for several days in a row, following the steps taught by the kitchen maid exactly, yet the taste was always different. What was he missing?

He had been taught hands-on, yet he couldn’t get it right, and Li Fugui didn’t have anyone to guide him, could it be that he really had a natural talent for cooking?

Hearing what his family members had said, Chu Lian still felt somewhat unconvinced, "This is the last time, I won’t let you taste it from tomorrow onward."

The family was overjoyed upon hearing this, but then their spirits deflated; even though it was the last time, they didn’t want to taste it again.

"Can you give me some face, I didn’t poison you, it’s not like it can kill you, right?" Chu Lian said with a helpless face, they were his closest kin, yet they were so repelled by him.

"Brother, you might as well put us out of our misery and kill us with one bite," Chu Huan said with a dejected face.

"You..." Chu Lian felt he was truly going to be annoyed to death by his own sister.

Seeing his son like this, Old Master Chu decided to give his son one last chance to save face. He picked up a spoonful, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up, "Hmm, this time the taste isn’t bad, you all should try it."

Although the Lady of the Chu family and Chu Huan saw Old Master Chu’s surprised expression, they were still afraid to move their chopsticks, as they couldn’t believe that Chu Lian managed to make something edible.

While eating, Old Master Chu continued to speak, "I’m not lying to you, this time it’s edible."

"..." The two of them were speechless, was it just ’edible’?

Seeing the expectant look on Chu Lian’s face, the Lady of the Chu family and Chu Huan reluctantly picked up their spoons, trembling as they took a bite, and they too exclaimed with surprise.

"Son, this time it’s really not bad."

"Brother, you’ve finally succeeded, you can cook for that sister now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian’s eyes brightened, so he had finally succeeded? He scooped up a mouthful himself and put it in his mouth, feeling elated. Now he could prove to Wang Xiangxiang that he could cook too.

This meal, the family finally enjoyed together harmoniously, no longer having to taste anything resembling poison.

After the meal, Chu Lian returned to his own place, and Acheng came back.

"Did you find out anything?"

"Young master, it’s been over three years, nearly four years ago, the information may not be accurate," Acheng hesitated, not sure if he should speak or not.

"Speak."

"Young master, the relationship between Li Fugui and Wang Xiangxiang, it’s almost the same as your relationship with Wang Xiangxiang."

"What do you mean?"

"Almost four years ago, Li Fugui and Wang Xiangxiang had a big fight in Dongfeng Restaurant, Wang Xiangxiang vowed she’d marry a pig or a dog before marrying Li Fugui, and Li Fugui vowed he’d marry a pig or a dog before taking Wang Xiangxiang as his wife."

"..." This troublesome woman, couldn’t she say anything else? Was she always speaking this way with men?

But if their relationship was that bad, how come they seemed to be on good terms now, with Li Fugui even claiming he would marry her? He couldn’t figure it out.

"You may leave."

"Yes, young master." Acheng left the room.
