Chapter 197: Chapter 197: No Comparison, No Harm Chapter 197: Chapter 197: No Comparison, No Harm Bai Yurou had a feeling that Bai Jingting was deliberately irritating her.
“Why is it that when it cos to , there’s only the phrase ‘everyone has their own field of expertise'”?
It seems like I’m good at nothing.
Bai Yurou, with a smile concealing her simring anger, reminded him, “Big brother, I won’t disturb your work anymore.
Try the flower tea I made and give so feedback, will you?”
“Okay.”
After Bai Yurou had left, Bai Jingting looked at the fruit-infused tea and didn’t like it.
He needed a cup of coffee now, not fruit tea.
…
Early morning.
The Bai Family gathered around the dining table for breakfast, which left Bai Yurou quite busy.
She served Grandpa Bai porridge, brought Chen Xinwan her bird’s nest soup, and poured Bai Zhenyang a glass of milk.
When it ca to Bai Jingting, she made him a cup of coffee, attending to everybody thoroughly.
Liu Feng watched Bai Yurou buzzing around like a top, knowing what she was trying to do.
She was just taking advantage of the absence of the young lady to curry favor with the Bai Family.
Liu Feng reported Bai Yurou’s daily activities to Nan Qiao, to keep her inford about what Bai Yurou was up to.
After the report, Liu Feng placed the shrimp cakes she made on the table, which everyone enjoyed.
Bai Yurou glanced at them and said with a smile, “Mom, I asked a friend to buy so seafood; it should arrive this afternoon.
Please co back earlier today.
I’m planning to show off my cooking and make a seafood feast for everyone.”
Chen Xinwan replied, “Yurou, it’s better to leave the cooking to the kitchen staff; it’s too much work.”
“It’s not hard, Mom.
As long as you all enjoy it, I love doing it.”
Grandpa Bai spoke up, “Xiao Liu, these shrimp cakes are delicious.”
Liu Feng responded, “I’m glad you like them.
The young lady has told everyone’s preferences, so I change up the cooking to make sure you all have a good al.
The day starts with breakfast, so it can’t just be anything; it has to be a good al.”
Chen Xinwan put down her chopsticks and sighed, “I miss Qiaoqiao; I wonder when she will return.”
Liu Feng said, “I just sent a ssage to the young lady, asking when she will be back and what she would like to eat.
She said she should be ho by four or five in the afternoon.”
Bai Jingting, who had been reading the financial news, slowly raised his head and checked today’s schedule on his phone.
He sent a ssage to his secretary: “Arrange all matters to be done before three o’clock.”
He planned to get ho before four o’clock to wait for his sister’s return.
Bai Jingting stood up, “I’ll be heading to work now.”
The earlier he got to work, the earlier he could deal with company matters and get back ho.
Bai Zhenyang also stopped eating, hurriedly stood up to follow Bai Jingting’s pace.
“Big brother, wait for ; I’ll go to work with you.”
Chen Xinwan couldn’t contain her joy, “Aunt Liu, Qiaoqiao loves stead buns, rember to start the dough, so we can make her buns.
I’ll roll out the dough for noodles later; having noodles is perfect when Qiaoqiao gets back.”
Grandpa Bai said, “Xinwan, let do it.
That girl loves my noodles.
I’ll roll them out and cook them.”
“Okay, Dad.
Your noodles are exceptional, and Qiaoqiao loves them.”
As everyone was busy with their tasks, Bai Yurou grew increasingly irritable.
After finishing her bird’s nest soup, Chen Xinwan noticed Bai Yurou had been silent.
“Yurou, why aren’t you eating?
Didn’t you want a sandwich?”
Bai Yurou picked up a sandwich, took a bite, and continued eating with a smile.
…
Nan Qiao arrived at the airport and Li Yehan took her to grab so food.
“Let’s have sothing to eat before going back; you don’t want to go ho on an empty stomach, do you?”
Nan Qiao patted her stomach, “I ate quite a bit on the plane, too.”
“Plane food can never beat what’s out here.
Let’s go; it won’t delay your return ho.”
Nan Qiao was led away by Li Yehan to a nearby restaurant for a al.
After finishing their al around one in the afternoon, Nan Qiao picked up her phone to deal with so work.
“Li Yehan, I should head back now, and you should return to the company.
You’ve been away for a few days; there must be a pile of docunts waiting for you to deal with.”
Secretary Zhao had urged him several tis, but Li Yehan didn’t want to leave; he wanted to stay with Nan Qiao.
Li Yehan, “Didn’t your master say he sent you seafood?
How about I co over for dinner at your place tonight?”
“Li Yehan, you should go back and have dinner with Grandpa Li.
He also needs your company and care.”
With Nan Qiao saying so, Li Yehan could only follow her wishes.
“Alright, I’ll co find you for dinner tomorrow.”
Nan Qiao smiled and bade farewell to Li Yehan.
…
At three in the afternoon, the whole family was waiting.
Grandpa Bai looked at his watch, “The ti is moving so slow, why hasn’t Qiaoqiao’s arrival ti co yet?”
Bai Zhenyang, “Dad, don’t be anxious, there might be a traffic jam on the road.”
Chen Xinwan, “I’m quite anxious too, wanting to see Qiaoqiao, not knowing if she has lost weight, or if she missed .”
Bai Jingting had been silent all along, but his constant glances at the watch revealed his innermost feelings.
Bai Yurou sat at the side, her head bowed in displeasure.
She feared that by lifting her head, others could see her uncontrollable bad temper.
At this mont, soone ca in, everyone looked up, and it was Uncle Wang.
“Fourth Miss, was it you who bought the seafood?
These people are delivering seafood, claiming it’s Fourth Miss’s goods.”
Bai Yurou stood up, “Yes, I ordered the seafood, bring them in.”
Uncle Wang, “The seafood is really fresh, especially the lobsters.
They are huge, and there are giant scallops and oysters.
My goodness, I have never seen so many unusual items of seafood.
It’s been an eye-opener.”
Uncle Wang led those people around the other side and delivered all the seafood into the kitchen.
A flicker of uncertainty crossed Bai Yurou’s eyes.
Could the money she had actually buy so much high-quality seafood?
Was there a mistake?
It didn’t matter if there was a mistake.
After all, it wasn’t her who asked those people to deliver it; they did it on their own.
If there was an error, it had nothing to do with her.
Chen Xinwan, “Yurou, why did you buy so much seafood?”
Bai Yurou’s face glowed, and she smiled joyously, “Sister is coming back, I bought so seafood for her to enjoy.”
Chen Xinwan nodded with satisfaction, and Bai Yurou smiled sweetly.
Just then, Uncle Wang ca in again.
“The eldest Miss has returned, Master and Madam, the eldest Miss is back.”
Uncle Wang was carrying Nan Qiao’s luggage while she walked in front, and he followed behind.
The family, as if by so unspoken agreent, stood up and walked towards Nan Qiao.
“Qiaoqiao, my dear, you’ve finally co back.
Your father and I have been longing for you, what a relief that you’ve returned.”
Chen Xinwan hugged Nan Qiao, her eyes full of nothing but Nan Qiao.
Surrounded by everyone, Nan Qiao felt extrely fortunate with each person’s expectant gaze.
Sitting on the couch, Nan Qiao felt sowhat embarrassed under everyone’s watchful eyes.
“Has the seafood sent by my master arrived?”
The room fell into a montary hush as everyone rembered the seafood that had just been delivered.
At that mont, more people ca to deliver seafood.
After asking, Uncle Wang led them in.
“Miss Bai Yurou, your ordered seafood has arrived, please sign for it.”
Bai Yurou, “…”
Were these people joining forces to slap her in the face?
Bai Yurou signed her na; the items on the list were very sparse, just enough for one al.
Compared to what Nan Qiao’s master had sent, it was incomparable.
Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Yurou felt a burning pain on her face.
