Chapter 70

“What are you talking about? How about you do it?”

Lin Manyun suppressed her hatred and stuffed the spatula into her hand, hoping that Ruan Qiqi would take it so that she could go back to her room to rest and turn a blind eye.

“I can’t take over the show. The kitchen is your territory, you do it!”

Ruan Qiqi smiled good-naturedly and didn’t take the spatula.

Lin Manyun snorted coldly and continued to cook. Her cooking skills were not bad. After all, she was the wife who could coax Lu Desheng around. In addition to her sweet mouth, she also had to capture the man’s stomach. She was much better than Yuan Huilan’s cooking skills.

“It tastes really good, Lu Ye, your stepmother’s cooking is better than your biological mother’s.”

Ruan Qiqi tasted the fried bacon with garlic sprouts and praised it rarely.

Lin Manyun was about to vomit, but after hearing this, she couldn’t help but feel proud and her mood improved a lot.

This crazy girl has good vision. She is better than Yuan Huilan in more than just cooking.

Lu Desheng’s expression also eased a lot, and he felt that Ruan Qiqi was still very sensible.

“It’s really delicious, but you don’t often make it for me.”

Lu Ye added, and the atmosphere that had just eased became tense again.

The smile on Lin Manyun’s face also disappeared, and she looked at Lu Desheng angrily.

Lu Desheng looked at her soothingly, telling her not to bother with Lu Ye.

“This is a specialty of my hometown, mugwort baba and millet baba. I brought it especially for you. Thank you, Uncle Lu, for dealing with the ungrateful and despicable He Jianjun impartially.”

Ruan Qiqi picked up the gift from the ground, put it on the table, and opened the bag to reveal two kinds of baba.

Lu Desheng’s eyes lit up. What he loved to eat the most was all kinds of baba, especially millet baba. He hadn’t eaten it since leaving his hometown.

“You are so polite, girl. Thank you!”

Lu Desheng had a better impression of Ruan Qiqi, and even found a reason for her past rebellion. After all, she had just been divorced, and it was normal for a girl to be in a bad mood and have a tantrum.

Now the girl must have recovered and become sensible, which is good.

“Manyun, go and fry some millet cakes.”

Lu Desheng ordered.

Lin Manyun had no choice but to go to the kitchen again and fry a few millet cakes. Her hands were fried by the oil, and they were all red. It hurt her so much.

Steamed millet cakes and

fried millet cakes

When Lu Ye came out with a plate of millet cakes, he heard Ruan Qiqi say, “Lu Ye, why don’t you tell your dad the good news?”

“He won’t be happy if I tell him, I’m too lazy to tell him.”

Lu Ye said lazily, without even raising his head, and just ate his meal.

“How do you know I won’t be happy if you don’t say it? Since it’s good news, I will definitely be happy!”

Lu Desheng’s face darkened and he was about to scold again.

Lu Ye raised his head and looked at him sarcastically, “Your cousin will definitely be unhappy to hear it, so don’t say it.”

Lu Desheng gritted his teeth and was about to burst out of anger. This rebellious son always spoke in such a weird way and never spoke properly.

“You can’t say that. Your stepmother will definitely be happy for you. You can’t judge your stepmother by your mean heart.” Ruan Qiqi advised.

Lu Desheng’s anger subsided a lot, and his impression of her was extremely good. This girl is really sensible, and it’s not bad to be with a rebellious son.

Lu Ye snorted and turned his head away to be upset.

Ruan Qiqi smiled and said to Lu Desheng: “He didn’t say it, but I said that Lu Ye has made great contributions this time. The leader decided to reward him and promoted him to deputy head of the regiment. The document will be passed down next month!”

“Bang”

the plate fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and several poops were also broken.

Lin Manyun looked at Lu Ye in astonishment. This little bastard was promoted to deputy head of the regiment?

She had tried her best to whisper in Lu Desheng’s ear and suppressed this little bastard for several years. How could he be promoted so quickly?

Ruan Qiqi frowned, looked at her with dissatisfaction, and asked sarcastically: “What do you mean by this? Are you really unhappy to hear that Lu Ye was promoted? No way, although you are a stepmother, you are also Lu Ye’s elder. Why are you unhappy about his promotion? Are you psychologically unbalanced because Lu Ye was promoted and your two sons were not promoted?”

Lu Desheng hadn’t thought much about it at first, but after hearing this, he immediately looked at his wife suspiciously.

Lin Manyun forced a smile and explained: “I was just too happy, so I didn’t hold the plate firmly. Xiao Ye is really promising. He became the deputy head of the regiment at such a young age.”

Lu Desheng’s suspicion was dispelled. He knew that Lin Manyun was not that kind of person and would definitely be happy for Xiao Ye.

“I’ll wash these baba and fry them again.”

Lin Manyun picked up the baba on the ground, swept up the broken porcelain pieces, and asked casually, “Old Lu, why don’t you know about Xiaoye’s promotion? I haven’t even heard you mention it.”

The smile on Lu Desheng’s face froze. Yes, he was so happy that he didn’t think about it. He was the commander of the military region. He should be the first to know about Lu Ye’s promotion. Why didn’t he receive the notice?

Lu Ye showed a mocking smile on his face, and looked at his father as if he was looking at a fool.

The old man was so stupid that he was fooled by his concubine. He would definitely be dragged down by Lin Manyun in the future.

“Lu Ye, what does your stepmother mean? Does she suspect that we are telling fake news? No way, how can she think so? You are a family, and she actually suspects you. Doesn’t she know that your promotion notice was issued by the General Military Region? No way, how can she be so dark in her mind!”

Ruan Qiqi spoke in a sarcastic tone, making Lin Manyun’s face turn red and blue. She had to defend herself: “I didn’t mean that. I just asked because I felt it was strange. Old Lu, believe me, I am really happy for Xiaoye.”

“Okay, go and fry the baba!”

Lu Desheng didn’t completely believe it this time. He also became a little suspicious. Lin Manyun behaved very abnormally, and she didn’t look very happy. Ruan Qiqi had a point.

Is his wife really unhappy to see Xiaoye succeed?

“Don’t be surprised. She is my stepmother after all. It would be abnormal for her to be happy for me!”

Lu Ye also said sarcastically. He took another big mouthful of rice and swallowed it. He then said, “It’s because my stepmother gave birth to two sons who are so ordinary and inferior to me in every way. It’s strange that she can feel balanced!” “

No wonder. Her biological sons are not as good as the one born by the previous guest. She must be feeling sick in her heart. She has to pretend to be a loving mother who treats everyone equally. It’s too difficult for her.”

Ruan Qiqi looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

There was a bang in the kitchen. It was Lin Manyun who was so angry that she smashed the pot and almost punched it through.

Lu Desheng was also upset. In terms of ability, the two sons born to Lin Manyun were indeed not as good as Lu Ye, but they were brothers, so how could they be compared like this?

Ruan Qiqi couldn’t help but praise him. Now he started to talk nonsense again.

Ruan Qiqi took a bite of bacon and said solemnly: “From the perspective of you three brothers, it shows a very important truth.”

“What truth?”

Lu Ye asked flatteringly, and Lu Desheng also pricked up his ears.

“A loving mother spoils her children. Your two stepbrothers have never suffered since they were young. They were spoiled and brought up. Unlike you, you have been left to fend for yourself since you were young. You went up the mountain to find game, went down the river to catch fish, and even went out to beg for food. Although you have a narrow escape, you have a promising future. This shows that your two brothers were abused by your stepmother. You should arrange for them to be tempered in the most difficult frontiers, away from your stepmother, and maybe they can have some future!”

Ruan Qiqi deliberately spoke loudly, just to provoke Lin Manyun in the kitchen and make her angry to death.

Sure enough, there was a bang in the kitchen, and this time the bottom of the pot was really pierced.
