408 Appealing to Her Taste Buds
“Actually, I feel a little guilty towards Qu Ru and blame myself for Rao Rao’s previous encounter.” Old Madam Qu sighed. “If we had treated Qu Ru well and educated her well, she wouldn’t have become like this.”
Seeing that Old Madam Qu was blaming herself, Mo Rao quickly said, “Grandma, you don’t have to blame yourself. Many people are born like this. Perhaps if you had treated her well, she would be even more arrogant.”
That made sense.
Old Madam Qu looked at Mo Rao. “Sigh, Rao Rao, if you don’t like her, I can chase her away.”
Mo Rao didn’t want to chase Qu Ru out because of these things. If she really chased Qu Ru out, people would definitely gossip again. They might even say that she was sowing discord.
Mo Rao didn’t want to cause trouble, so she said to Old Madam Qu, “Grandma, it’s okay. If she doesn’t cause trouble, we can let her stay in the Qu family’s home.”
Seeing that Mo Rao didn’t care, Old Madam Qu didn’t say anything else and walked into the house with Old Madam Fu.
Seeing that Mo Rao was here, Fu Lin beamed. “Rao Rao, you’re here. I’ll go bake your favorite cake. Your aunt will definitely be very happy to see you when she comes back later.”
Mo Rao hadn’t been to the Fu family’s home for a long time, but when she came back again, it still felt like home.
Old Madam Fu and Old Madam Qu sandwiched Mo Rao in the middle and each held one of her hands as they chatted happily.
Fu Ying sat at the side like an invisible person. For a moment, he didn’t know whose house this was.
When Fu Lin saw Fu Ying, he walked over and said, “Come with me to the kitchen to cook. What kind of man are you if you don’t do housework?!”
Fu Ying looked at Mo Rao reluctantly. Seeing that she wasn’t paying attention to him, he could only follow Fu Lin into the kitchen obediently.
“Back then, I used my culinary skills to appeal to your mother’s taste buds. Then, she married me.” Fu Lin cooked the noodles as he said proudly, “What are you waiting for? Did I teach you how to cook all in vain?”
Fu Ying silently walked to the stove to cut the vegetables. It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to woo Mo Rao with his culinary skills before, but instead, he had “wooed” Mo Yuan.
“How’s your relationship with Rao Rao been recently?” Fu Lin couldn’t help but ask.
He could tell that Fu Ying had feelings for Mo Rao, but he also knew that Mo Rao had long lost her feelings for Fu Ying.
Although he respected Mo Rao’s thoughts, Fu Lin still hoped that Mo Rao could return to the Fu family. Ever since Mo Rao was no longer in the Fu family, the smiles on Old Madam Fu and Mo Wan’s faces had decreased.
“It’s still the same. There’s no progress.” Fu Ying lowered his eyes with a dejected look.
Fu Lin looked at Fu Ying and patted his shoulder. “You deserve it for mistreating Rao Rao before.”
Fu Ying was speechless. He thought that Fu Lin would comfort him and give him some advice. Unexpectedly, Fu Lin actually mocked him.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have told you, since I’d get scolded by you anyway.” Fu Ying rolled his eyes.
“Did I scold the wrong person? You were the one who let Rao Rao down first. You were too stupid. If Rao Rao wasn’t good, would we have liked her so much?” Fu Lin was furious when he thought of the stupid things his son had done. “Take things slow. You’re the one who will suffer if you fail to win her back.”
Fu Ying wanted to leave the kitchen. His family seemed to take pleasure in abusing him.
When an aroma wafted from the kitchen, Old Madam Fu smiled and said, “If Rao Rao wasn’t here, Fu Lin wouldn’t have spent so much effort and even personally cook.”
“Mo Wan is so lucky. If only our children were so sensible.” At the mention of her children, Old Madam Qu couldn’t help but sigh.
“Your eldest son isn’t bad.”
“He’s not bad, but Qu Qin and Qu Xue are restless. After I chased them out of the Qu family, they didn’t give up and actually worked with the Qu family’s enemies to deal with us. Recently, our company has lost a lot of profit.” Old Madam Qu complained, her face filled with sorrow.
Mo Rao was stunned and asked, “When did this happen?”
Previously, when she went to see Old Madam Qu, she had never heard her mention it. Qu Qin and Qu Xue were really despicable!
