She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 345: Chapter 354: A Flower Among the Elite Daughters

”Yes, yes, yes, I’ll get someone to buy more right away. Brother Xiao Liu, hurry up, this dish isn’t enough for so many people with just a chopstick each!” She’s definitely not her biological child, should I discuss with Uncle Su Jiang later if I can take her back?

”Sheng Ning, Liu Yilan, Wu Youli, and Hong Mei, you need to hurry to the kitchen. We’re all starving, and today we’re counting on you guys to show off your cooking skills.” Chen Huaying, sharp as a monkey, also noticed something was off as soon as she arrived.

It was practically a trap at a dinner party! She even felt a chill down her spine.

And with so many important figures sitting there, the sight of each not speaking was quite intimidating.

To avoid scaring her friends, she decided to rush to the kitchen and keep her distance!

”Okay!” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and ran off to the kitchen with their items.

In the living room, many eyes were glued on Sheng Ning, making her feel like needles were piercing through her back until she finally closed the kitchen door and relaxed.

”How about it?” Mr. Su nudged Elder Hai sitting next to him and whispered, ”Does it look similar?” The two had been old friends back in the day, and their families were close.

Elder Hai had quite the authority.

”Hmm! You know, when you first came in, I thought we were back at Shanghai Beach.” Elder Hai seemed lost in distant memories, sighing, ”It feels like yesterday, I still remember the stunning impression she made on our first meeting!”

Back then, Grandma Su was indeed the flower of high society, pursued by countless wealthy young men. Yet, she ended up marrying an obscure young comrade.

Mr. Su’s eyes gradually moistened with sadness.

”Dad, are you okay?”

”Grandpa, what’s wrong? Doctor, get the doctor immediately.” For someone of their retired high-ranking stature, they always had doctors close by to monitor their health.

”It’s alright, it’s alright!” The old man wiped the corner of his eyes and bellowed with full breath, ”What are you all yelling for? Anyone unrelated get out!”

No one in the living room moved.

Everyone sat quite composedly, some even holding tea cups and sipping tea. They all pretended to be busy.

”Shen Feihu!”

”Senior leader, reporting!” It was obvious jealousy.

”Aren’t you busy? Why don’t you get out with me?”

”Busy, I’m really very busy!” Shen Feihu boldly stood up, pointed at Su Huai’an and Hai Shen, ”You two rascals must be free too? Is it vacation time now? Hurry up and come with me.”

Uncle Shen, you can’t just sabotage others like this.

Unable to stick it out himself, he couldn’t stand to see them doing well either.

The old man glared, displeased, ”What? Does the president’s word no longer hold any weight?”

”Yes!”

”Present!”

”President, good timing, I have a meeting too, let’s go together!”

With the three nuisances gone, the living room became much quieter.

In the kitchen, the five looked at each other and simultaneously revealed a bitter smile.

Lu Dabao pulled out a radish and started crunching on it, while speaking, ”Sheng Ning, your cooking skills are so good, even the leaders want to mooch meals off you. I really have good taste, tsk tsk tsk... Why am I not a man? Then I could marry you and have you cook delicious meals for me every day.”

Liu Yilan gave her a look, ”Is the only purpose of marrying Sheng Ning to have her cook delicious food?”
