The Male Main's Uncle Is Openly Obsessed With Me

Chapter 168 - She Only Wanted a Safe Refuge



Chapter 168: She Only Wanted a Safe Refuge

The sweet aroma of egg tarts and cake was relatively strong, especially when they were being baked. It was not an exaggeration to say that the fragrance could reach ten miles away.

The few men could still control themselves as they were not particularly fond of sweet food. Although they thought the smell was fragrant, they did not drool over it embarrassingly.

On the other hand, Cheng Xiuqin and Qin Xueru were not as calm as the men. They followed the scent to the kitchen and asked eagerly, “Yanyan, what delicious food are you making? Why is it so fragrant? Is it going to be done soon?”

“It’s done! These are egg tarts. Here, you can eat it first while it is hot. The egg tarts will not be crispy when the crust is cold. I will save the large cake for you, and I’ll bring it out later. ”

Cheng Xiuqin took the plate of egg tarts from Su Yayan and happily followed Qin Xueru out.

As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she could not help but put one in her mouth. A look of enjoyment lit up her face. “It’s delicious. If I knew Yanyan has this talent, I should let her learn this earlier.”

“You say this, but are you willing to let her do it? Regardless, Yanyan’s cooking is mouthwatering. Not only have I not continued to lose weight these days, but I have also gained a lot. If this continues, I won’t feel like going back.”

“Then don’t go back so soon! Stay a few more days. Since there isn’t anything pressing at home, let Yanyan nourish your health in the meantime.”

Qin Xueru touched her stomach subconsciously and smiled, saying nothing.

Su Yayan spread the icing on the bigger cake and asked Aunt Li to take it out after she had finished the decorations. She also let her share the remaining egg tarts with some old servants who had worked for the family for a long time.

She carefully put some egg tarts and the only small cake in a paper box and packed it carefully before taking the freshly boiled soy milk out with her.

Just as she stepped out of the small kitchen, she met her grandfather.

“Are you going to meet that Huo lad?”

“Yes.”

“Hmph!” Grandpa Cheng snorted coldly. After expressing his dissatisfaction, he started talking about business. “The things you asked Grandpa to do are done.”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I know that Grandpa is the best. As long as you step forward, there is nothing you can’t do.”

Grandpa Cheng was praised so highly, but his face was still sullen. He said solemnly, “Don’t suck up! Are you really determined to let the research institute have the final say in this matter? You know that if you take these things out, they will be very beneficial to you…”

“No matter how big the benefits are, it would be pointless if we can’t live to enjoy them. You know I’ve never wanted these. It’s good for the research institute. At least they can help me relieve some external pressure. Besides, haven’t you already helped me to negotiate some benefits? In terms of the selling price, I have the final say in the division of profits. Relying on this alone, I think I should have no worries about food and clothing even if I don’t use the family’s money in this lifetime.”

Money or fame was not the most important thing to her.

She chose to let her grandfather give those Chinese herbs to the research institute because she hoped that the research institute would be indebted to her grandfather and owe him a favor. Furthermore, it was to seek refuge for herself.

At least there would be someone who could protect her family if the events from her past life happened again.

Not everyone in this world was selfish, and not everyone was selfless.

When what one wanted to do was about to invade the interests of some people, the only way to prevent one from being harmed was to let the long-term interests of the people coexist with them.

She could only let everyone know how good she was, so even if someone had malicious intentions towards her, they would have to think about whether they wanted to go against thousands of people.
