Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

293 An Unexpected Skill

Wen Man laughed when she heard this. “I don’t know those two, but Ji Xi is really popular. She has had zero bad reviews since she started her career. If she heard that, she’d definitely vomit blood!”

Su Ji sat cross-legged on the sofa and leaned back. “I don’t know if she’s a good person, but she’s really beautiful.”

The netizens were going crazy.

Ji Xi was so beautiful and elegant that even Su Ji, who was an astute person, could not dislike her.

Xu Mingzhi patted her daughter’s hand, “baby, trust me. The only difference between the three of them is their ranking.”

Wen Man said, “if that’s the case, it’s really interesting to have them in this episode. The three of them are like the same person in different stages of career, isn’t this the symbol of legacy?”

On the TV, Sonya accidentally dropped her pen when Ms. Lan asked about the rumor of her secret marriage and having a child.

Ms. Lan laughed, “Sonya, are you nervous?”

Sonya, who had always been calm and composed, was at a loss for words. At this moment, Ji Xi took the initiative to direct the fire to herself. “Ms. Lan, don’t tease her. In the early years, there were also rumors that I got married in secret and had a child. Xuefang was not criticized because she is still too young. That’s how the entertainment industry is.”

Ms. Lan then asked Zhou Xuefang, “are you ready to be rumored to have a child in secret in a few years?”

Zhou Xuefang played along and pretended to be afraid. The staff on the scene laughed and the topic that had made Sonya feel awkward was easily resolved.

When the camera shifted away, Ji Xi, who was in the corner, bent over to help Sonya pick up her pen. Her voice was extremely soft, as if she did not want the audience to find out, “let me do it. It’s not convenient for you to bend over today because of your outfit.”

Wen Man caught this and narrowed her eyes, “her seductiveness is really strong…”

Su Ji also smiled. She did not really care whether the woman was good or bad, but she just wanted to tease her mother.

Xu Mingzhi sipped her coffee calmly. Her back was straight and she looked very elite. She said profoundly, “those who haven’t done anything good are not considered good people.”

“Wait,” Wen Man said to Su Ji as she quickly flipped through her bag, “I have to write down all of your mother’s famous sayings!”

Su Ji put her hand on her mother’s shoulder, “then, what do you think of Ning Lihua?”

She then pointed at the three people on the screen.

Xu Mingzhi thought about it for a few seconds and raised her chin, “similar to Zhou Xuefang.”

“Tsk,” Su Ji tilted her head, “not bad, mom. It seems like you’re quite right.”

“Those who haven’t done any good are not considered good people.”

She repeated her mother’s words in her heart.

That was interesting.

The three of them chatted for a while. Wen Man suddenly straightened her back and asked, “by the way, where are the two people in the kitchen? They haven’t even made a single dish in half a day?”

The three of them leaned back at the same time and looked at the kitchen.

Inside were Tong Yingjie, who had not appeared for a long time, and his nephew Tong Le.

In the past few weeks, Tong Yingjie had not managed to ask Xu Mingzhi out, so he had no choice but to ask Wen Man for help.

In the end, he used Wen Man’s name to visit Xu Mingzhi’s house. It was mainly because Xu Mingzhi finally had a day off and did not want to go out for dinner. She wanted to stay at home with her daughter, so she brought everything home.

Tong Yingjie felt embarrassed, so he suggested that he cook. Tong Le was forced to come with him, or else it would be too obvious if there were too few people. Also, he saw on TikTok that day and knew that his nephew had a good relationship with Xu Mingzhi’s daughter.

Tong Le had been calling Su Ji “boss” in front of the whole family today, and they were already quite close.

He didn’t know how to cook, so he just helped.

Xu Mingzhi and the others watched them for a while and then turned back to the TV screen.

Ever since she had eaten Bill’s tasteless and forsaken Ganba steak, Su Ji did not have much hope for the men around her to cook.

It seemed like her boyfriend was still the best. At least he was focused on researching lychees, which was the most practical thing for her.

Xu Mingzhi and Wen Man had the same thoughts. There was a time when Si Ke wanted to prepare a candlelight dinner for Wen Man on Valentine’s Day. But no matter what he made, it tasted bad. He got annoyed, smashed the pot and spilled it.

The three of them stayed there for another hour and a half. They had already started planning which restaurant to order dinner from, but then the kitchen door opened.

The three of them looked over.

Tong Le brought out plates of sumptuous dishes. It was Western food.

The food looked decent.

Xu Mingzhi, Wen Man, and Su Ji had all eaten good food before, so Tong Yingjie’s cooking…

Tong Yingjie looked at Tong Le. Tong Le’s mouth twitched and he was as obedient as a servant, “Aunt Xu, Aunt Wen…boss, it’s time to eat.”

Tong Yingjie said, “since we are eating at home, there’s no need for formalities. I’ve already served the appetizer, main course, and desserts.”

“You know how to make desserts? That’s amazing,” Wen Man was surprised.

Tong Yingjie smiled gently, “I just worked in a Western restaurant when I was young, but I’m not a professional.”

Su Ji looked at him, he was neither servile nor overbearing.

The few of them sat down. There was already butter on the cinnamon toast. The charcoal beef tongue was very tender. There were pan-fried Australian beef, grilled salmon, and cranberry custard for dessert. There was also a salad as a side dish. It was a very sumptuous meal.

In the room next door, Su Cunyi had been standing motionlessly on the window of the dining room across for two hours.

The TV behind him was showing “Tonight’s Warmth”. The show had ended, but because it was too popular, it was being replayed again.

Pei Huai went downstairs to get a document. He passed by Su Cunyi and said, “Su Ji just sent me a WeChat message.”

...

Su Cunyi finally moved, “what did she say?”

Pei Huai replied, “she said that she likes Uncle Tong.”

He was comparing Tong Le’s photo with the one Pei Xi had sent him. It was not the one who had said that he wanted to pursue Su Ji.

Besides, he was no longer concerned with men.

He glanced at the TV.

Su Cunyi: “…”

He stood in place for a long time. His voice was not loud, but it was serious. “No matter what, I will leave my company to Su Ji in the future. I will help the mother and daughter unconditionally in the future.”

He wanted to say something else, but at his age, there was no point in saying anything meaningless.

Since Xu Mingzhi had decided to start a new life, and his daughter could live well without him, he would not be able to help her.

It was meaningless for him to stay here any longer.

Su Cunyi looked at Pei Huai, “I’ll be moving out of your place soon.”

...

Pei Huai’s attitude was indifferent, “I don’t stay here often anyway.”

He liked to go home with Su Ji recently.

Su Cunyi did not say anything. He felt he was not in a good mood today.

Pei Huai’s phone rang and he saw the words on the screen, “Pei Shizhan.”

His father’s name.

Pei Huai hung up the phone without a word. He took the documents and glanced at the TV again when he went upstairs. The interview with the three women was on.

With one hand in his pocket, he turned off the TV with the remote control and strode upstairs.
