Chapter 268 A prodigy since childhood
Because of the previous forced instruction from Yan Zhixu to "obey" and contact Aunt Zhang to prepare three meals a day, Liang Liangwei naturally accepted Aunt Zhang's early morning feeding when she stayed at Yan Zhixu's house this time.
Aunt Zhang also tried her best to prepare stomach-nourishing recipes for Yan Zhixu. Today, she cooked pumpkin and barley porridge, which was sweet and delicious. Liang Liangwei ate two bowls in one go.
After clearing the table, she went upstairs to take out her clothes to dry. When Aunt Zhang saw that she had voluntarily handed over the clothes that needed to be dry-cleaned, she didn't insist on persuading her not to do housework.
Afterwards, Aunt Zhang started cleaning the living room as usual, while Liang Liangwei made herself a cup of sweetened latte and chatted with her while drinking it by the dining table.
They talked about Yan Zhixu's childhood, and Aunt Zhang was happy to answer her questions.
Liang Liangwei: Was he mischievous when he was a child?
As she mopped the floor, Aunt Zhang said, "Young Master Zhi has always been very obedient and sensible since he was little. He always ranked first in everything at school, with excellent manners and etiquette. He is the master's pride."
Liang Liangwei smiled inwardly, thinking, "Isn't this something to be proud of, Aunt Zhang?"
He was indeed a prodigy from a young age.
Or rather, the epitome of someone else's child~
Liang Liangwei: "Haven't you ever done anything to make people angry?"
Aunt Zhang thought hard for a moment and said, "I'll count it as one time when I lost Young Master Bei'an."
Liang Liangwei was somewhat surprised and asked with interest, "How did you lose it?"
Aunt Zhang stopped mopping the floor and said with a smile, "I remember that year, Young Master Zhi was 16 years old and Young Master Bei'an was 12 years old. Young Master Zhi made an appointment with his classmates to play basketball. It seemed that the place was a bit far away, so he went out alone. Young Master Bei'an belatedly realized that he also wanted to go with him."
"But the two of them didn't communicate well. By the time Young Master Bei'an went out, Young Master Zhi's car was long gone. Young Master Bei'an was so angry that he ran out crying to chase after it. Because the old house and villa were far from the city center, he knew to call a car for himself halfway there. But when he got to the city center, he didn't know where Young Master Zhi had gone."
"Everyone in the house thought that Young Master Bei'an and Young Master Zhi had run into each other, but Young Master Zhi came back alone that night. When they tried to contact Young Master Bei'an, they couldn't reach him, so they panicked and sent out many people to look for him. They almost called the police."
Liang Liangwei found it increasingly amusing as she listened.
But that's hardly something to be angry about, is it? After all, he didn't know Yan Bei'an was following him when he went out.
Moreover, Yan Bei'an is still perfectly fine, which means nothing really happened back then, so she just took it as a joke.
"and after?"
Aunt Zhang: "Everyone panicked, but only Young Master Zhi remained calm and collected. He used Young Master Bei'an's phone to locate him and finally found him at Xidan subway station. It turned out that Young Master Bei'an had gotten tired from walking alone and had fallen asleep on the roadside. When Young Master Zhi found him, he was still asleep."
"Then Young Master Zhi took him home."
Liang Liangwei was laughing so hard her stomach hurt.
"Yan Bei'an was so stupid back then!"
Aunt Zhang also laughed: "Young Master Bei'an was very attached to Young Master Zhi when he was a child."
Liang Liangwei: "You can tell that they have a very good relationship."
Aunt Zhang continued mopping the floor.
As Liang Liangwei sipped her coffee, she asked again, "How old was Yan Zhixu when you first arrived at the Yan family?"
Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "About fourteen or fifteen years old."
That must have been several years after his parents' incident, so Aunt Zhang probably didn't know the true relationship between Yan Zhixu and the Yan family.
Then she didn't need to expose it.
At noon, she helped Zhang Sao with the cooking, and the two of them prepared a sumptuous lunch together.
She took beautiful photos of each dish, edited them slightly with photo editing software, and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
[Braised prawns in oil, tomato fish, bamboo fungus chicken soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables – today's lunch. Give me a like if you're envious!]
After posting, I put down my phone and started eating. A moment later, I picked it up to check, and wow, it already had over 20 likes!
She has many WeChat friends, all of whom are active users. Often, a single post she makes will get several hundred likes, showing that she's quite popular!
Many people left comments expressing their envy and saying they wanted to eat it, and she replied to several of them.
Surprisingly, Shen Zhengming also liked and commented: "[Eating at home today? Did you make all of this yourself?]"
She replied with a smile: "Yes, I'm off today, so I made it at home."
Shen Zhengming: [Did you only learn to cook this year?]
Liang Liangwei: [Yes, I've become a head chef.]
Shen Zhengming: [When will I have the opportunity to taste it?]
Liang Liangwei pursed her lips: [There's a chance.]
She thought those three words would end the conversation, but to her surprise, the other person immediately replied: "When?"
Liang Liangwei squinted. She was just being polite, brother, couldn't you understand?
After thinking about it, I pretended not to see it, exited WeChat Moments, and continued eating.
Because there was so much food, and it would be boring to eat alone, she agreed with Aunt Zhang to eat together.
Seeing that she was eating while playing on her phone, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but remind her, "Miss Liang, please eat properly and stop playing on your phone. Young Master instructed me to supervise your eating before he left, otherwise your stomach will start to hurt again."
Liang Liangwei blinked: "He asked you to supervise me? That's too domineering!"
Aunt Zhang smiled good-naturedly and said, "I know the young master is just concerned about you."
That's a very pleasing thing to say.
Liang Liangwei smiled and picked up a shrimp, peeling it with her hands.
"What does he like to eat?" Seeing Aunt Zhang looking over, she coughed lightly and explained, "Sometimes he comes to my place, and I can cook delicious food for him according to his preferences."
Aunt Zhang understood and smiled, "I know the young master isn't picky about food; he likes most things. So, he'll probably eat anything Miss Liang makes."
Liang Liangwei's ears turned slightly red as she asked, "I only know that he doesn't eat spicy food much. Are there any other dietary restrictions?"
Aunt Zhang: "No, really. Oh, I don't eat much cilantro, but everything else is fine."
Liang Liangwei nodded, "That makes it easier to raise."
At least they're easier to raise than her; by comparison, she's much more "picky."
In the afternoon, Liang Liangwei stayed in the study, casually editing photos.
It can be really boring to do nothing on a day off, so I'll use it to edit the magazine cover I took yesterday, even though it's not due until next week.
Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from Su Xiaorong: "Want to hang out tonight? At a club party."
Liang Liangwei: [Okay, what time?]
Su Xiaorong: [You must be here before 8 o'clock.]
Liang Liangwei replied with an OK.
I had dinner with Aunt Zhang again that evening.
After finishing my meal, I went back to my room, took a shower, changed my clothes, said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, and then went out.
I also picked up Gao Nan on the way, because Gao Nan's car had been scratched and repaired a couple of days ago.
It was already past 8 o'clock when we arrived at the club. After entering the private room, there were several other friends besides Su Xiaorong, both men and women.
She had attended several similar gatherings before. She knew some of the people there and didn't know others. They greeted each other and then sat down to chat.
Then more people came in. Liang Liangwei didn't notice at first, until someone approached her and greeted her in a familiar tone: "Weiwei, what a coincidence, we meet again~"
