Chapter 151 - Three Women
"I'm very good at cooking. Looks like Miss Lin is quite well-versed with tea…"
"Green tea is good for the body, but drinking too much will harm the body. I think President Li doesn't like tea. Miss Lin, why don't you quickly find another buyer?" Feng Yue secretly began to mock Lin Piaopiao. Every sentence was aimed at Lin Piaopiao, yet Lin Piaopiao couldn't think of any rebuttal.
Looking at Lin Piaopiao, who had gotten up angrily, and Lin Liguo, who had followed her back to the room, Wu Mei found Feng Yue more pleasing to the eye.
In the room, Lin Piaopiao was so angry that she smashed things on the floor. She pointed outside and yelled, "In the past, there was Wu Mei who stuck to Brother Nanchen's side. Now, this Feng Yue has appeared out of nowhere. Who does she think she is? The Li family is in chaos because of them! Why did Brother Nanchen keep her here?"
Compared to Lin Piaopiao's irrationality, Lin Liguo analyzed the current situation calmly.
Disregarding whether Li Nanchen had any other intentions towards Feng Yue and whether Wu Mei could remarry him, Lin Liguo could confirm that he had no interest in Lin Piaopiao at all. Relying on Lin Piaopiao to stay in the Li family would not work, so he could only find another way.
The Lin family was currently standing on the edge of this villa. As long as Li Nanchen was in a bad mood, he could chase them away anytime!
In that case, it would be difficult to maintain their current standard of living, let alone reap some benefits from the Li family.
Lin Liguo racked his brains and thought that the only thing he had to offer now was his medical skills. However, he currently only had the status of Old Master Li's "attending physician" but all of Old Master Li's daily checkups and treatment plans were diagnosed and modified by Bi Fang. Lin Liguo could not get his hands on the core of it!
"This won't do, I have to think of a way to get back the rights to treat Old Master Li," Lin Liguo clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
In the dining room on the ground floor, Feng Yue had made Lin Piaopiao so angry that she ran away. Sitting primly on the dining chair, Feng Yue assumed the demeanor of a virtuous wife as she helped Li Nanchen cool the tonic soup. She pushed it over to him and said, "President Li, I know that your body is weak now and you can't sleep well at night. This soup can soothe your nerves and nourish your body. It's all nutritious ingredients inside!"
"Have a taste, you will definitely like it."
When Li Nanchen heard the words "soothe your nerves and nourish your body", he did not reject it and took a sip from the spoon.
Feng Yue looked at him in delight and arrogantly lifted her chin to look at Wu Mei provocatively. She raised her brows slightly, as if showing off that Li Nanchen's attitude towards her had changed.
Wu Mei glanced unhappily at the man sitting beside her. She was about to find fault with him and ask him what on earth he's trying to do!
The next moment, Li Nanchen scooped a spoonful of soup to blow on it to cool it. Then, he affectionately lifted the spoon to Wu Mei's lips. When he saw her stunned expression, he said naturally, "It's indeed not bad. I've tried it for you. It tastes similar to what the nanny makes."
"You've been working hard the past few nights. Drink more so that you have more energy and stamina to continue…"
Li Nanchen's thin lips curled up suggestively. Feng Yue's smile froze on her face, while Wu Mei felt slightly smug inside.
Feng Yue raised her hand to stop him and said, "President Li, I made this bowl of soup for you, not for her."
Li Nanchen's expression darkened and he said coldly, "Since it's for me, do I have to listen to your arrangements to decide who I want to give it to? Feng Yue, know your place and don't cross the line!"
Wu Mei opened her mouth and drank the scoop of soup. She deliberately made sounds as she savored the soup. Frowning, she said, "The soup is a little bland."
"And you can tell that the soup base was supplemented with semi-finished ingredients. Looks like you didn't put in much effort. This won't do. You need to improve in the future!"
"Since you want to take care of Nanchen's health, you have to study soups to the best of your abilities. This bowl of soup can only be sold for about ten yuan at a roadside stall!"
"But everything you do is so-so. It's not easy for you to cook soup to this standard already. I shouldn't be too harsh on you."
Wu Mei symbolically took two sips before putting down the bowl of soup and looking up.
Feng Yue did not expect Wu Mei to humiliate her like this. Furious, she snapped the chopsticks in her hand…
Wu Mei immediately covered her mouth in a panic. She turned to look at Li Nanchen and said, "Nanchen, if my memory serves me right, this pair of chopsticks was personally made by a designer who had custom-made it overseas and shipped it back home. It's worth more than 2000 yuan. Feng Yue, you'll have to pay the compensation for breaking it!"
"Here, you can scan the code or swipe your card."
Wu Mei immediately took out her phone and waved it in front of Feng Yue.
Under Li Nanchen's gaze, Feng Yue could only grit her teeth and make the transfer.. She compensated Wu Mei for the pair of "designer handmade" chopsticks that were only worth ten yuan and had been bought from the market.
