Chapter 97: Chu Yichen Exposes The Little Trick
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the super huge kitchen, Gu Na, in a pink apron, touched her ears casually from time to time.
Li An’an started cooking. Initially, she wanted to make a few home-cooked dishes that she was good at, but she realized, from the ingredients that Gu Na had brought, they appeared to be making the same dishes. Looking at her again, Li An’an realized that the woman was cheating. She must be using some method to get An Xiaohui to teach her. After all, she was the one who taught An Xiaohui how to cook.
She proceeded to take out the ingredients from the fridge. Since Gu Na felt that Chu Yichen liked home-cooked dishes, she ‘d make an elaborate dish then.
Let’s see who’s better.
Noting that Li An’an looked like she was giving up on the originally-selected dishes, Gu Na smiled smugly. Ha, she had a military advisor. Li An’an was dead meat.
Gu Na started preparing the dish slowly, as she listened to An Xiaohui’s instructions on the wireless earpiece. She performed very well even though she was quite new at it. Of course, nothing beat being taught step by step.
She successfully completed a dish: shallots with onion. She was quite sure that Chu Yichen would like it. Just as she was about to make the second dish, a sharp sound suddenly came from her earpiece. It almost deafened her.
“Ah!” She screamed and threw the Bluetooth headset onto the ground, rubbing her ears in exasperation.
Chu Yichen walked up to Gu Na coldly. “How dare you cheat in front of me!” The coldness in his eyes almost ripped her to shreds. He hated it when people played such tricks under his nose.
Gu Na lowered her head, her face ashen. “No, I was just listening to a song.”
Chu Yichen sneered and crushed the white earphones on the ground. “Do you think the Chu Enterprise’s technologists are pushovers? The security set up in my villa is more advanced than you think!”
Long Ting also ambled up to them. “Gu Na, you’re too much. This is just cooking a few dishes but you act like a thief. If you don’t know how to cook, Yichen would have allowed you to watch and follow these videos. There is no need for you to do this!”
Gu Na glared at him and looked at Chu Yichen with an aggrieved expression. “Yichen, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. I just want it to be perfect. Look at this dish. Isn’t it beautiful? I’ve been suffering burns to my hands recently, all for your sake.” Gu Na revealed the burn marks on her left wrist to gain sympathy.
Chu Yichen turned a blind eye to her coquettishness. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. It looked as though he’d ask the bodyguards to throw her out the next second.
Long Ting tried to smooth things over. After all, the two families had been friends for a long time. He didn’t want everyone to look bad. “Chu Yichen, forget it. I think this dish looks good. Let’s see if she does well in the next few dishes. It’s so pointless to throw her out now! We can’t let Li An’an compete with herself, right, Li An’an?”
Li An’an was busy making soup. She smiled nonchalantly when she heard this. It was really satisfying to see Gu Na being caught. However, other than feeling a little gleeful, she ala not reel anything else. Alter all, even 11 ou ma were to cheat, she would not have been able to win!
She was the one who taught An Xiaohui how to cook. Even if the two of them worked together, they wouldn’t be able to win.
But…
“Sure, but I want compensation for mental trauma! After all, I’ve suffered a great grievance. Only money can make up for my injuries!” Li An’an sniffed. Since the woman had come knocking on her door, she wasn’t going to stand on ceremony.
Gu Na was furious. Not only had she been caught cheating, but she was also now cornered by Li An’an asking for money.
She was stumped how Chu Yichen could be charmed by such a vulgar woman.
“How much? Is 10,000 enough?” She gritted her teeth. She would never give her more, not a chance!
Li An’an nodded awkwardly. “10,000 then. Actually, it’s not that easy to make up for the damage to my soul, but I’m magnanimous.” Li An’an quickly held out her phone so that the other woman could scan her WeChat.
Gu Na wished she could strangle the woman to death, but eventually transferred the money to her.
The matter of cheating came to a closure. Actually, Gu Na did not care about 10,000 yuan. To put it bluntly, even doing her nails cost more.
She was just frustrated over what to do next! It was impossible for her to win, because other than the bit of learning she did in the last few days, she didn’t know how to cook at all. Moreover, she hated cooking. It would get her hands greasy and she’d reek of oil and smoke. She found it intolerable!
Long Ting looked at Gu Na, who looked like she was about to faint. He rubbed his nose and chuckled. “I placed a bet of 10,000 yuan on Gu Na. You’ve won!
See, am I buddy enough?”
Gu Na ignored him and could only brace herself as she continued cooking! It was fine. She was the eldest daughter of the Gu family and had seen all kinds of storms. How could she lose to an ordinary commoner!
Chu Yichen’s sharp gaze fell on the confident-looking Li An’an. “In that case, let’s continue the competition.” He chuckled.
Gu Na could only continue cooking according to the steps in her memory! She had completely forgotten the steps and could not grasp the timing of the seasoning. The heat was either too strong or inadequate. Her face was covered in grease and she almost burned down the kitchen.
At the end of the competition, she looked a world of difference from her meticulously dressed and arrogant self in the morning.
The butler asked the servants to bring the dishes prepared by the two women to Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen did not touch his chopsticks. His eyes fell on the few dishes. One looked, smelled and tasted good, while the other looked terrible!
He had overestimated Gu Na.. She had truly embarrassed herself!
