"Brother Shan, where's Sister-in-law" Li Shirong looked around but couldn't see Zhou Ruoying. He then asked Song Hushan.

"She Ha ha... She’s in the kitchen cooking!" Song Hushan laughed and said.

Zhou Ruoying hadn’t set foot in the kitchen for many years. This morning, when she mentioned that she would cook herself, Song Hushan was momentarily stunned before shuddering all over. He remembered how terrible Zhou Ruoying’s cooking used to be; although her skills improved later on, he didn't know what her current dishes would taste like since she hadn’t cooked for years.

However, this treatment was only given when Xiao Yu visited them. For others who came over, even if the food tasted bad, they wouldn’t get to eat it anyway because none of their visitors were worthy of Zhou Ruoying cooking for them.

"Oh my! Miss Zhou is actually going to cook herself A woman's skin shouldn't be exposed to smoke or steam; otherwise, she'll age faster!"

When Li Shirong’s wife heard about this, she said in a delicate voice.

"Haha, it's fine. She usually doesn’t cook. Today is special because someone came over, so that’s why she’s cooking herself!" Song Hushan laughed and replied.

“Oh, haha…”

Hearing this, Li Shirong awkwardly chuckled. It seemed he needed to reassess Xiao Yu's relationship with the Song family; from what had just happened, their connection was even closer than he had imagined.

Wei Jun left the living room and went into the kitchen. There, Xiao Yu was busy working while Zhou Ruoying was washing vegetables.

"Xiao Yu, Miss Zhou, is there anything I can help with" Wei Jun approached the kitchen door and asked the two busy people.

“Hey, Brother Jun, why are you here Where’s Brother Song” Xiao Yu turned around to ask when he heard Wei Jun's voice.

"Oh, there are now two more guests. Mr. Song is seeing to them!" Wei Jun said and rolled up his sleeves ready to help out.

“What kind of guests Who would come at this time Didn’t I tell him not to receive any visitors today” Zhou Ruoying turned around when she heard that there were guests, and asked.

"Miss Zhou, the young master of the Li family from Hong Kong is here with his family!" Wei Jun said respectfully to Zhou Ruoying.

Although Zhou Ruiying and Song Hushan had told Wei Jun to be less formal, he knew that their words were out of politeness. Everything they did was in consideration of Xiao Yu's face, so Wei Jun didn't dare to act too casually.

"Young Master Li" Upon hearing Wei Jun’s words, Xiao Yu muttered and his expression instantly turned gloomy. No wonder Wei Jun came to the kitchen; it was because Young Master Li had come as a guest. When Zhou Ruiying heard what Wei Jun said, she frowned too. After glancing at Xiao Yu, she saw that although he had a frown on his face, there were no signs of him being angry, so she secretly relaxed.

"Xiao Yu, I didn't call him here. Who would have thought they'd come"

Although Zhou Ruiying saw that Xiao Yu wasn’t upset, she couldn’t help but explain herself.

Xiao Yu knew full well how powerful their Song family was, yet never asked them for any favors. Moreover, he had saved two lives of the Song family. Anyone else would have been brimming with pride and making demands, but Xiao Yu didn’t boast about his achievements nor ask for anything in return. This impressed not only the Song family, but also left them feeling indebted to him.

"Haha, it's fine, sister, let them come!"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said to Zhou Ruiying.

"By the way, Xiao Di, what exactly is your grudge with this Li Shirong" When she saw that Xiao Yu wasn't bothered by their presence, Zhou Ruiying couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer and asked him.

Zhou Ruiying recalled how Xiao Yu had reacted to Li Shirong's situation. She and Song Hushan both felt there must be some enmity between them, although they didn't know what it was about. With the topic now brought up, Zhou Ruiying couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer.

"What Xiao Yu, you also have a grudge with this young master Li" Wei Jun asked in surprise as he heard Zhou Ruiying’s question.

"No particular grudge. Just find him irritating!" Xiao Yu shook his head and said upon hearing the two of them talk about it.

“Uh...... Wei Jun, do you have a grudge with Li Shirong”

Zhou Ruiying didn’t expect that Xiao Yu was just irritated by Li Shirong. She also caught the meaning behind Wei Jun's words. After hearing Xiao Yu’s response, she turned her gaze to Wei Jun and asked.

“Haha, it’s nothing serious. The LIs are wealthy and arrogant, thinking they’re above us common folk!”

Wei Jun laughed dryly without elaborating further, giving only a rough explanation.

Zhou Ruiying knew Wei Jun well enough to understand immediately what he was implying. Thinking about it, she realized that Hong Kong’s economy always placed the wealthy at the top, and as Li Family were the wealthiest Chinese family there, their attitude wasn’t unexpected. Didn't she herself almost get looked down upon when meeting Li Shirong's wife How much more so Wei Jun

'But what about Xiao Yu Why is he here Could it be... could it also be related to Wei Jun' Zhou Ruying thought.

Xiao Yu didn't care about their thoughts and focused on cooking. He put all sorts of ingredients in the pot, took out several medicinal herbs from a bag, pinched some with his hand, and added them into the pot. Then he covered it and started stewing slowly.

What Xiao Yu was currently making was the large pot dish that his maternal grandfather had passed down to him. Although this method of cooking was similar in taste to Zhang Dahai's and his master’s, there were subtle differences, and the flavor was even more delicious than what Zhang Dahai made.

"Little brother, what are you making" Zhou Ruying couldn't help but ask when she saw Xiao Yu putting all the ingredients into the pot.

Even though she had eaten this stewed meat large pot dish many times before, she had never seen how it was made. Therefore, seeing Xiao Yu put everything in one pot and start stewing it, she felt very curious inside.

"Hehe, I'm making the stewed meat large pot dish!" Xiao Yu chuckled lightly as he said this.

“Oh…”

When Zhou Ruying heard that Xiao Yu was making a large pot dish, she gave a light response. She had eaten this large pot dish many times before and always enjoyed it immensely; therefore, there wasn't much expectation left for the dish Xiao Yu was making.

Zhou Ruying saw there was nothing else to do and took out some green vegetables from the corner intending to stir-fry a few dishes.

"Hehe, Sister, you don’t need to trouble yourself. No need to stir-fry anything, just eat this large pot dish!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped her when he saw Zhou Ruying taking out vegetables for stir-frying and said that.

Xiao Yu was very confident in the stewed meat large pot dish he made. If people tried his stewed meat large pot dish, no one would want to eat other dishes; hence, he stopped Zhou Ruying from cooking more dishes.

"It’s okay, how can I not stir-fry a few dishes" When Zhou Ruying saw Xiao Yu stopping her, she said this.

“Hehe, Sister, listen to me! If I say we don’t need it, then we definitely won't need it!” Xiao Yu took the vegetables from Zhou Ruying's hands and put them back in the corner.

Xiao Yu was very impressed with Zhou Ruying. She carried no airs of privilege or wealth and treated people kindly without any pretense, making her feel approachable.

"Alright, alright, I won’t do it anymore, Sister will listen to you!" Seeing that Xiao Yu had put the vegetables back in the corner again, Zhou Ruying helplessly shook her head and said this.

The three of them chatted in the kitchen, and because of Xiao Yu's presence, Zhou Ruoying did not neglect Wei Jun either. Therefore, they were all having a pleasant conversation.

Time passed quickly, and an hour had soon gone by; the aroma from the pot was wafting out.

When chatting, Zhou Ruoying smelled this aroma and immediately froze for a moment. She knew it very well because she had eaten in the cafeteria many times before.

Zhou Ruoying snapped back to her senses and stared intently at Xiao Yu as if trying to see through him. Though she knew how precious this pot dish was, she had also eaten it multiple times but never imagined that Xiao Yu would make it.

It’s worth noting that only Zhang Dahan and his apprentice were known to be able to make such a dish in the country, no one else ever discovered its recipe. Moreover, it tasted just like Zhang Dahan's.

"Sis, what's wrong" Seeing Zhou Ruoying stare at him, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but touch his face and ask.

"Little brother, how did you learn to make this Did you learn from Zhang Dahan" Zhou Ruoying felt very curious about why Xiao Yu could make such a pot dish and asked.

“What are you guys doing I can smell the scent of the pot dish!" Song Hushan came into the kitchen from the living room just as Xiao Yu was about to speak. Upon entering, he immediately asked.

"Haha, it's my little brother who made this; I’m asking him right now." When Zhou Ruoying saw Song Hushan come in sniffing the aroma, she couldn’t help but smirk at him and said.

Song Hushan was very fond of this pot dish. He would go to eat it every few days. If he didn't have it for a while, he could be driven to desperation by his craving. The last time Zhang Dahan made one for him was before he left Hong Kong.

Since they went to Hong Kong, more than half a month had passed without him having this pot dish, which had already put him at the brink of starvation. Therefore, when chatting in the living room with Li Gongzi's family and suddenly smelling a familiar aroma, Song Hushan followed it straight into the kitchen.

"Oh, little brother, did Dahan teach you how to make this pot dish"

Hearing that Xiao Yu made this pot dish, Song Hushan instinctively thought of Zhang Dahan and asked him.

“Haha, no. This pot dish was taught to me by my grandfather!” After opening the lid, Xiao Yu stirred it with a ladle and said.

"Oh..." Upon hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, Song Hushan looked perplexed.

Although they didn’t know yet if there were any differences in taste between this pot dish and Zhang Dahan's, now that they only smelled the aroma, there seemed to be no difference. (To Be Continued)nt Xiao and Sister Yu insisted I come along!""Hehe," seeing the scene before him, Xiao Yu let out a silly laugh."Brother, have I been nice to you How about the surprise I gave you Just for that, your...
