Bai Ruxin was dumbfounded. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Xiaolang chid in adorably from the side, "Don’t be surprised, Auntie. A lot of people cry tears of joy the first ti they eat my mom’s cooking."
Seeing Bai Su looking completely unfazed, as if this were normal, Bai Ruxin couldn’t help but feel it was strange.
’It’s just food. How good could it possibly be?’
The most delicious canned at was just fresh at mixed with honey and milk until it beca a thick stew.
And even that got old after a while.
Unconvinced, Bai Ruxin decided to try a bite for herself, picking up a piece of the tender pork with tomato.
A sweet and sour flavor instantly exploded in her mouth, accompanied by the rich, savory aroma of the at.
She never knew that the fragrance of at and the flavor of tomato could combine into such a sweet, sour, and savory taste. The aroma of the pork loin was enveloped in a thick, sweet-and-sour tomato sauce.
There was even a faint hint of scallion.
’This is delicious!’
She never knew that at, when not made into canned food, could be this incredible!
Bai Ruxin was almost speechless. She covered her lips, losing her composure as excitent showed on her face.
Suddenly, she felt a faint, warm current flow into her body along with the food. There was a subtle warmth spreading in her lower abdon.
She touched her stomach in confusion, but the feeling was already gone.
But she couldn’t be bothered with that right now. She couldn’t resist taking another piece of at.
Delicious!
So incredibly delicious!
Bai Su smiled. "Please, eat. Don’t be formal. All who co are guests, after all."
Bai Ruxin and Yan Jiu could no longer keep up their tough facade.
The mother and son exchanged a glance, seeing the predictable outco reflected in each other’s eyes.
Bai Su’s culinary skills were exceptional to begin with; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to build a restaurant chain with her own two hands in her past life.
With the added boost from items redeed from the system, she had also broken through to Level 4. Her food was naturally even more delicious, and its Healing Ability had doubled.
Under the influence of the Healing Ability, people who ate the food found their emotions easily stirred, making them fall in love with the feeling of enjoying a good al.
At first, Bai Ruxin and Yan Jiu were reserved, but once they discovered that every single dish was exceptionally delicious, they could no longer hold back and began to eat with gusto.
"It slls so good! Is this aroma really coming from the food?"
"It’s simply unbelievable! I feel like I’ve wasted all these years. I’ve never tasted such novel food before!"
Seeing them enjoy her food put Bai Su in a very good mood.
There was nothing more satisfying than taming people who had looked down on her with food.
She smirked and said while eating, "My Healing Superpower is in the food, too. If you experience diarrhea or see impurities being expelled through your skin after you get back, that’s a normal phenonon. It just ans my superpower is healing the deep-seated organs and tissues in your bodies."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruxin’s face showed even more disbelief. "Really?"
Bai Su nodded with a smile. "Of course. My Healing Superpower is acting on you both. I couldn’t lie about it even if I wanted to."
Bai Ruxin could hardly stay in her seat. "This is wonderful!"
When a female who has awakened a superpower becos pregnant, her offspring will only inherit more innate superpowers, never fewer than their parents.
That was why females with superpowers were so rare.
What’s more...
Bai Ruxin had many urgent questions for her, but the food before her was too delicious. She had to put her questions aside for now and focus on finishing the al first!
After gorging themselves, both Bai Ruxin and Yan Jiu were left wanting more.
But they had co here with an agenda, so how could they have the nerve to ask for more food now?
Bai Su cleared the plates and put them in the dishwasher while the two were still reeling from the delicious assault on their senses.
Bai Su sat down across from them, her arms crossed. "Aunt, go ahead. What did you co to see about? You wouldn’t have co for no reason."
Bai Ruxin looked a little awkward. It’s hard to criticize soone who’s just fed you. She had originally co to hold Bai Su accountable for what happened to Bai Xue, but how could she bring it up now?
She cleared her throat and looked at Yan Jiu beside her.
Yan Jiu was also embarrassed. He was a lackey for Rachel and her daughter.
But in this situation, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too ashad to speak up.
Bai Su looked at the two of them. "Did you co all this way just to have a al with ?"
Bai Ruxin shot Yan Jiu a glare before finally turning to Bai Su. "We heard that Leader Lu is going to be engaged to you. He said that not only do you have a superpower, but you’re also a Level 3 female on the verge of breaking through to Level 4, and that you’ve borne him a child who inherited his Companion Ability..."
’Lu Tingyan must have announced it to the world after he went back.’ A flash of understanding crossed Bai Su’s eyes.
She nodded. "That’s right."
Bai Ruxin pressed her lips together. Burdened with the instructions from the president of the Female Protection Institution, she had no choice but to start the conversation. "You’re aware of the Female Protection Institution, I assu?"
Bai Su nodded.
’I’ve heard of it.’
It was said to be an organization spontaneously ford by respected females in the Federation to protect female rights.
Because the Bai family produced the most high-quality females in the Federation, the majority of high-ranking positions within the Female Protection Institution were held by mbers of the Bai Family.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Bai family held absolute sway over the Female Protection Institution.
Leveraging their absolute control over the institution, the Bai family had the final say among the female population and could even influence the marital pairings of most females.
Because of this, the institution also attracted support from many powerful factions, becoming an unofficial authoritative body in the Federation with a strong say in many matters.
Bai Ruxin was Bai Su’s aunt and also one of the vice-presidents of the Female Protection Institution.
Bai Ruxin organized her thoughts before speaking. "Leader Lu has recovered his spiritual power, which is a blessing for the Federation. The female we had originally prepared for him was a junior from the Bai family, Bai Xue. But because of what you did, Bai Xue and her mother are still locked up."
Bai Su now had a good idea of why they were here.
She shrugged. "I didn’t write the Federation’s laws. They were locked up because they brought it on themselves. What does that have to do with ?"
Bai Ruxin pressed her lips together.
Before she ca, she had heard from the Bai Family that Bai Su, banking on Lu Tingyan’s favor, had publicly provoked the mother and daughter and had them thrown in jail.
She had also watched the livestream video from that day.
Before she arrived, she had actually believed Bai Xue’s claim that Bai Su had used a banned substance to fake having a superpower.
But after coming here today and eating Bai Su’s food, she realized that Bai Su truly did have a superpower...
So, she could guess what had really happened with the banned substance that day without even having to think about it.
For a mont, her face flushed with embarrassnt, and she inwardly resented Rachel.
’How many tis have I warned the Bai family not to spoil that child, Bai Xue, too much? But they just wouldn’t listen.’
’Now they’ve started to twist right and wrong.’
’They even hid it from , causing to co here and make a fool of myself.’
’If I hadn’t co at alti today, if I hadn’t eaten Bai Su’s food and found out she has a superpower...’
’Wouldn’t I have ended up wrongly accusing Bai Su for nothing?’
