Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother-Chapter 80 - Cooking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Jinyu looked at Lu Ming shyly. After so many years, this was the first time she was bringing a guy home.

Her words shocked the onlookers!

“Did I hear wrongly? The ‘Iron Lady’s’ daughter invited that kid home? What is she doing? Could it be that she wants to settle her marriage? No way! I thought that these two have an ordinary sibling relationship.”

“Aren’t you ignorant? Miss Chu doesn’t have an older brother. Judging by their intimate behavior, there must be something between the two of them. I just wonder which family’s young master this person is.”

“I thought that Ms. Chu would never have a partner in her life because my distant cousin used to woo her. In the end, she nitpicked on him. So she has someone she likes!”

“Speaking of which, Ms. Chu’s requirements seem to match this man’s. Maybe he matches her template! He’s really devoted. I wonder what the ‘Iron Lady’ thinks.”

…

As they said, Lu Ming’s performance today was not bad. Perhaps her mother’s impression of him was improving rapidly? It was not a bad idea to take the opportunity to settle her marriage.

At the thought of this, Chu Jinyu suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked again, “Can you come? Brother Lu Ming.”

Every time she called Lu Ming that, he could not reject her request. Anyway, it was just a visit and it was en route to his home. It was not a big deal.

So he said, “If you don’t mind.”

“This is great!”

Chu Jinyu did not hide her happiness at all and even forgot that her mother was still around.

Han Qianjing raised her eyebrows slightly. She really liked Lu Ming. She sized him up again and took out her phone from her pocket. She sent a text message to Xu Wei to get her to investigate this person.

If his family background was good, she did not mind if they really got together.

In reality, she did not approve of Chu Jinyu’s partner being a mediocre person. In her opinion, this was no different from being a freeloader. Sooner or later, her company would be handed over to Chu Jinyu.

If all her decades of hard work were destroyed by them, what could she say?

Upper Forest Residence, No. 3 Residence.

Chu Jinyu said eagerly, “I’ll go cook. Wait here for me for a while.”

These words stunned Han Qianjing for a few seconds. Her daughter had been pampered since she was young. If the servants were not by her side, she would go out to eat at high-end restaurants. She was usually busy studying and working. When did she learn to cook?

She looked at her daughter suspiciously. Was she trying to show off? ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Lu Ming also thought that Chu Jinyu had learned culinary skills during the years when the two of them were apart. He said, “Then I’ll wait for you here.”

“I’ll be done soon.”

The reality was, the battle came to an end quickly. After a few minutes, there was the sound of an explosion in the kitchen. Lu Ming rushed over and saw a black, unknown object in the pot. He asked hesitantly, “What is this? Did you put coal in the pot?”

Chu Jinyu smiled awkwardly and said, “Would you believe me if I said this is stir-fried vegetables?”

???

“You call coal ‘vegetables’?!”

Lu Ming poked the black mass carefully. It was very hard and did not have the texture of vegetables. “It… can’t be your first time burning food, right?”

“Since when? This is my second time.”

Chu Jinyu said proudly, “The previous time, because the pot wasn’t good, it got burnt on the gas stove.”

“Are you sure it was because of the pot and not you?”

Lu Ming thought to himself,?“In a sense, her culinary skills can be considered a talent because they’re really extreme.”?Initially, he was a little worried. After all, she had a past record. When he was young, Chu Jinyu wanted to make him a bowl of noodles but in the end, half of the kitchen was burned down. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

From the looks of it, his worries were not unfounded. He had thought that her culinary skills would be better when she grew up. He did not expect things to turn out this way in the end. She was known to be a kitchen killer. It seemed that he could not let Chu Jinyu cook in the future. Even if she could whip up a dish, whether it was edible remained a question.

“Brother Lu Ming, why don’t I change to scrambled eggs? Scrambled eggs are simple!”

“Are you sure?”

Stir-fried vegetables was easy too. And then?

Then it became burnt.

Lu Ming sighed and said, “Let me do it.”

“You will?”

Chu Jinyu asked in surprise, “How are your skills?”

“No matter what, better than yours. At least, my food is edible. Come over and help me.”

Moreover, he had just obtained superior culinary skills, so it was good to put them to the test now.

Han Qianjing, who was sitting in the hall, was playing with the Star and Moon Bodhi beads in her hands. She knew that an accident would definitely happen if Chu Jinyu went to the kitchen. She shouldn’t have held any expectations for her daughter’s culinary skills because she wouldn’t for herself either.

“Maybe she inherited that from me?”

Just as her thoughts were running wild, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen. She instinctively gulped. This smell…

The food was even better than the food in a six-star hotel!

Instantly, her gluttonousness was aroused. She tried her best to maintain her image, but her stomach was rumbling. She had never felt so hungry before!

Could it be that this young man was a chef?

So hungry…

When the dishes were served on the table, she suppressed her primitive desire and slowly picked up her chopsticks. “Perhaps it was just the smell, but the food was not good,” she thought.

She picked up a piece of red braised pork and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and tasty, fat but not greasy. After chewing a few times, it was gone.

She extended her chopsticks again.

Seeing this, Chu Jinyu said proudly, “These were all made by Brother Lu Ming. Aren’t they delicious?”

“… Delicious.”

She had to admit that if his skills were publicized, those six-star hotels would definitely fight over him!

It was rare but Han Qianjing ate bowl after bowl.

Meanwhile, Chu Jinyu was enjoying the food more and more. Lu Ming had maximized the advantages of these dishes. It was difficult to find an adjective to describe them. “This is awesome! This is simply the best food I’ve ever had in my life!”

Lu Ming was also shocked by his own culinary skills.?“Superior culinary skills?”?he thought.

At last, the three of them were exceptionally full. Han Qianjing touched her stomach. She wanted to restrain herself, but after taking her first bite, she lost control of her behavior. Her body did not listen to her at all. She just wanted to eat more.

A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. “To have such advanced culinary techniques—he’s really amazing!”

Chu Jinyu stood up and said, “Mom, is Brother Lu Ming very impressive?”

“… Very impressive.”

But not enough.

Although she did not say this out loud, Chu Jinyu understood what she meant. It seemed like she could not do it today. This matter had to progress gradually.

Chu Jinyu could not help feeling a little vexed..?“Why is my mom so rational? Even such delicious food could not entice her.”
