Chapter 2295: I’ll Learn It
Cheng Jinyan’s early years were difficult. His mother left soon after giving birth to him. Cheng Jinyan was already living abroad before Master Cheng was sent to prison. He lived in another country with two servants.
Cheng Jinyan was young when he first went abroad. He was also in a different country, so he was always nervous. As a result, he said nothing when the servants did nothing for him.
“When I was young, I only wanted a full tummy. Later, I learned my culinary skills from my mom when she stayed with me.” Cheng Jinyan did not show any emotion when he mentioned his awkward life when he was young. However, when he mentioned Madam Cheng, his tone was a little gentler. Just from that,one could tell that his respect for Madam Cheng was from the bottom of his heart.
When Master Cheng heard that, he laughed. “Sometimes, I think about the meaning of my years in prison. In the end, I concluded that it led me to Xinyou.”
One could say that MAster CHeng was proud of his stint in prison because of that. He had finally found a happy ending.
Madam Cheng was much younger than Master Cheng. She only wanted to survive when she got close to Master Cheng. She could live a more comfortable life in prison. However, neither managed to control the other’s heart.
Master Cheng used many tricks to send Cheng Xinyou out of prison. He only asked her to take care of his son, Cheng Jinyan, when she was released. He thought he would lose control over her once she was not by his side.
However, Cheng Xinyou did not betray him. She went abroad according to his arrangements and stayed by Cheng Jinyan’s side. She took care of Cheng Jinyan with her utmost gentleness and patience. IVhen Master Cheng got out of prison, Cheng Xinyou and Cheng Jinyan were already very close. Cheng Jinyan could not truly treat Cheng Xinyou as a mother because of their age difference, but he did treat her as an elder to respect and care for her.
Cheng Xinyou was a very gentle woman. She did not have the chance to love
Jiang Yao, her newborn daughter, so she poured all her love into Cheng Jinyan.
“That was the only bit of cooking I could do.” Madam Cheng was also a little embarrassed about being praised.
Cheng Jinyan did not say anything more. He noticed that Jiang Yao had a good appetite, so he said, “Mom’s cooking is better than mine. She’ll be cooking at night. Maybe she can teach you after you’ve given birth.”
Jiang Yao shook her head subconsciously when she heard that. It was hard to speak with her mouth full, so she pointed at Lu Xingzhi.
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was amused. She raised her hand and patted
Jiang Yao’s head lightly. Then, she translated Jiang Yao’s meaning for everyone. “This lazy girl says to teach Xingzhi. She’ll be in charge of eating.”
“Okay, I’ll learn.” Lu Xingzhi wrapped Jiang Yao’s hand into his palm and said with a smile. The lazy girl. Yes, the nickname that his mother-in-law gave his wife was pretty good.
‘Mom, I’m not lazy.” Jiang Yao swallowed the food in her mouth and defended herself. “1 don’t have the talent to cook. I’m not lazy. I can wash dishes and vegetables!”
‘Your husband won’t let you touch the water.” Mrs. Jiang shook her head. ‘You’re just lazy..”
