Chapter 1686: Chapter 1687: Stop Pretending to Be a Pompous Young Lady

Qin Jun’s attitude towards her was a world apart from how he treated Chu Xi. He even lowered his voice, afraid to scare her, “She went to make coffee for you.”

“She heard you were coming over for dinner and got so excited. She got wine, prepared fruits for you, and heard you like coffee, so she even took out her favorite coffee beans to brew it personally for you.”

He playfully winked, his voice filled with laughter, “Auntie has quite the expertise in brewing tea and coffee. The coffee she makes herself is absolutely better than anything you can buy outside. You can taste it later; I guarantee you’ll like it.”

Rong Yan froze for a moment, then said shyly, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble, I…”

“It’s no trouble, she’s happy.” Qin Jun stopped her from continuing, a smile curling his lips, “She hasn’t been this happy in a long time, just let her do it.”

At this moment, Chu Xi regained her composure and followed quietly.

But with Qin Jun here, even if she wanted to give Rong Yan a hard time, she dared only glare at Rong Yan, not daring to speak up, afraid that the people of Chu Garden would embarrass her in front of Rong Yan.

“Don’t just stand there, have a seat.” Qin Jun completely ignored the person who followed, warmly inviting Rong Yan to sit down.

He even brought the fruit over, “Sit and have some fruit while waiting for me; I’ll be done soon, and then we can have dinner.”

“…Alright.”

Rong Yan could tell from his attire today that he was cooking personally. Though she was surprised and puzzled inside, she didn’t show it on her face.

Qin Jun’s face was full of affection as he instructed the butler nearby, “Uncle, please take good care of her for me.”

“Certainly, Mr. Qin.” Turning to Rong Yan with a kindly expression, he said, “Miss Rong, if you need anything, please feel free to let me know.”

Qin Jun still had tomato beef stew simmering in the pot, and he estimated it was almost done. Before returning to the kitchen, he caught a glimpse of Chu Xi trying to downplay herself at the side and took the initiative to speak, “Come with me to the kitchen and help me out.”

“Huh? Me?” Chu Xi hadn’t expected to be singled out, pointing at herself with her slender fingers.

Qin Jun’s slanted phoenix eyes were cold and distant, lips barely moving as he said impatiently, “Who else if not you, is there anyone else here?”

Chu Xi felt humiliated in front of everyone again and uncomfortably said, “But I can’t cook, I can’t help…”

“You can’t cook, but you can eat, can’t you? Enough nonsense. Just come in when I call you. Why so much babbling? You can’t cook, but you can wash vegetables, and if you can’t wash vegetables, you can wash dishes. Don’t tell me you can’t do anything. You’re not some pampered daughter; I don’t believe you grew up in a house without servants, eating nothing but air.”

He had looked into this woman’s background thoroughly, including how she lived with her single mother in the Tube Building as a child and endured many hardships.

He despised Chu Xi’s way of doing things.

If it were him, even if he wanted to cling to his biological father’s wealth, he wouldn’t outright deny the mother who had worked hard to raise him.

In the beginning, she could justify not acknowledging her mother for fear of offending Chu Tian and being despised by her wealthy father.

But later, she thrived in the Mema entertainment circle with the background of the Chu family name and made a lot of money, yet still showed no intention of acknowledging her biological mother; that was just too cold and heartless.

She ate abalone and drank shark fin, while her birth mother lived on scraps, saving money for her… How could she watch and do nothing!
