Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 110: Looks Are Everything

Yu Yuanxi walked side by side with Yun Jinping, listening to her gentle voice, and only felt warmth in her heart.

“You children, you’re so young, but what are you wearing?” Yun Jinping chattered incessantly. “Come in quickly and get warm inside.”

She spoke in a gentle voice. Even when she was lecturing others, she was still gentle and soft.

Yu Yuanxi looked at his own clothes and smiled apologetically. “I’ll wear more clothes in the future.”

Gao Meng snickered from the side.

Yun Jinping turned around. “And you. Look at how little you’re wearing! You’ll catch a cold. You can’t just think about looking good and ignore the temperature.”

Gao Meng nodded rapidly, looking meaningfully at Lil Chairman Shen, who was dressed up like a ball, and said humbly, “You’re right, Auntie. When you become sick, the one who suffers the most is you.”

Which girl Lil Chairman Shen’s age did not like to look pretty? Even in winter, they were eager to wear skirts and reveal their bare legs, showing others the most beautiful side of their youth.

No one would be like Lil Chairman Shen. Every time they saw her, she was dressed like a ball. However, Lil Chairman Shen was beautiful, so she looked good even as a ball. Looks were everything!

Shen Xi glared daggers at her.

Gao Meng’s smile towards her became even more flattering.

Shen Xi lost her temper. What should she do with someone who only smiled when she scolded them? What should she do with someone who simply turned their right cheek for her to slap after she already slapped their left cheek?

For as long as Shen Xi could remember, the house had never been so lively on this day.

The kitchen was full of people. Some picked vegetables, some washed ingredients, and some cooked. The division of labor was clear.

Shen Xi and Yu Yuanxi sat on small stools, picking vegetables.

After Gao Meng peeled and washed the potatoes, her hand reached out for the knife skillfully.

“I’ll do that. You guys can go watch TV.” Yun Jinping quickly ran over before she could cover the pot for fear that Gao Meng would cut herself.

“Auntie, I’m uncomfortable if I don’t do anything. You’re treating us like outsiders.” Gao Meng turned with a smile. “Do you want the potatoes sliced or shredded?”

“Shredded.” Yun Jinping was a little worried. A young and beautiful girl like Gao Meng must have been spoiled by her family. How would she know how to do something like that? “I’ll do it. You young girls…”

Before she could finish, Gao Meng started to move. Her knife work was extremely beautiful, cutting the potato into shreds that were equally thin. Even the sound of the knife on the chopping board was clean and sharp.

There was no way she could have that level of knife work without more than ten years of experience. Yun Jinping was stunned. She did not expect Gao Meng to be so amazing.

Her daughter could not cook, and Yun Jinping never let her in the kitchen. At most, she would let Shen Xi help pick and wash the vegetables.

“Auntie, I know how to do anything, really.” Gao Meng said while cutting potatoes. “I started cooking when I was eight years old.”

The atmosphere in the kitchen was very good.

Gao Meng did not know what was wrong with her. Maybe it was because Yun Jinping was too gentle and reminded her of her mother, so she could not help but want to talk to the woman.

When she started, she talked more and more, telling Yun Jinping everything from when she was small to when she grew up.

Shen Xi only knew a little about Gao Meng’s past and did not have the habit of asking about people’s pasts, so she did not know that Gao Meng had suffered so much.

Gao Meng looked like a pampered and rich young lady who always had someone to wait on her, but the truth was that her living conditions at home were not good. She had gone through all sorts of hardships.
