Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Vivi Cooks
After hearing this, Han Xuewei's face turned red, "Dad, I already have a family, of course, things have to be different."
"Besides, our family business is in the catering industry. If I couldn't cook, wouldn't that be a joke to others?"
Han Xuewei's dad laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, it seems my daughter does have some awareness. If you can capture a man's stomach, then you are successful. Come on, let dad teach you some of the secret recipes I have accumulated over the years!"
Han Xuewei also grabbed a spoon and tried to follow her dad's movements, but she didn't have enough strength, and several times she dropped all the vegetables from the spoon back into the pot.
Seeing this, Han Xuewei's mother hurried to interject, "Oh no, that won't do. You can't learn from your dad like that, he's just a rough man who has been tossing spoons from a young age, and you haven't even touched this before. This pot is just too heavy, you just watch from the side."
Han Xuewei shrugged helplessly, smiling and saying, "Alright then, as you command!"
"Oh my, as a woman, you should have your own career no matter what, even if it's a small one. You can't depend on a man for everything, just like I do as a teacher, a quiet and proper job, even though your dad's business is so big."
"Summer vacation is almost here, so try to make up for the wedding banquet during my holiday, okay? It doesn't matter whether it's at our own restaurant or not, these things are actually not important."
"Once we get the marriage back on track, there's nothing else to worry about. The baby is born, and you should also go back to school to continue your studies. By the way, your dad plans to upgrade our catering business to hotel services after he moves here, and he needs to pull in some investments during this time."
"However, your dad discussed it with me, hoping that Lin Yi could invest, because no matter what, this hotel will eventually be handed over to you two. We'll talk about it at the dinner table, I'm just informing you in advance."
Han Xuewei nodded, "Mhm, I understand. Lin Yi and I also discussed this, that after our wedding is made up, we'll go back to finish our studies."
"Mhm, I don't know how his parents have arranged it, but if starting a hotel is too difficult, then continuing the catering business is fine too. This matter mainly needs to be discussed with Lin Yi."
Han Xuewei said, "Mhm, if there's a lack of funds, Lin Yi will definitely help."
"Lin Yi indeed has the ability, so we also want to hear his opinion on this matter."
While continuing to toss the big spoon, Han Xuewei's dad added, "Ah, the future belongs to the young. We will inevitably be phased out."
"Haha, dad, please don't think like that. In my eyes, you're not old at all," said Han Xuewei with a giggling smile, "Dad, take a look, is this stir-fry okay? Can it be served now?"
Han Xuewei's dad turned his head to look, "It needs a bit more cooking, stir for another minute, and that should be enough."
Han Xuewei thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "So, stir it sixty more times and it will be ready, right?"
Dad Han laughed heartily, "Hahaha, thinking that way isn't wrong."
"Then that's great!"
At this point, Han Xuewei was already finding it hard to stand, able to endure only a few more minutes at most. Her feet felt as if they had lost all sensation, aching unbearably!
Han Xuewei was in the kitchen cooking with her dad, while Tian Bei had been called to another room by her mother to talk.
"Lin Yi, what's going on with you? I've always said that we must be restrained in that regard. Have you seen how Vivi walks now? Ah, what am I to say? Of course, you should take care of your own wife!"
Lin Yi defended himself with an innocent look, "Mom, aren't you exaggerating a bit... I think she walks just fine. It's just that we haven't for quite a while..."
Mother Lin said impatiently, "Then you must be extra careful in the future, you can't be like this anymore! If you don't listen, you'll have to face the consequences."
Lin Yi chuckled and said nothing more.
After thinking for a moment, Mother Lin added, "Your dad has been quite busy lately, letting him decide whether to relocate the company or sell all his shares and retire in peace. He might need some time."
Lin Yi nodded in response, "Mm-hmm, okay."
Lin Yi wasn't planning to tell his family about the building he owned yet, for with his current financial situation, buying the largest building in the city center wouldn't be so simple.
Moreover, in just a few days, he would be receiving the building's rent—three billion! And that's just for half a year's worth.
If he got his hands on that money, any venture his dad wished to pursue would have strong financial backing, and even if he wanted to start something on his own, there wouldn't be any burden. Continue your saga on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
After chatting with his mom about other family matters, Lin Yi headed towards the kitchen, as he needed to say hello to his in-laws.
Hurrying downstairs and heading straight to the kitchen, he could hear Han Xuewei's family's joyful voices from afar.
Upon seeing Lin Yi, his in-laws smiled and pulled him over, saying, "Come here, Lin Yi, you must try this dish. Vivi made it with her own hands; let's see how it tastes?"
With his interest piqued, Lin Yi stepped forward with a smile, "Oh? I haven't had the chance to taste Vivi's cooking yet; I must try it no matter what."
Lin Yi picked up some chopsticks, took a piece of meat from the plate, blew on it, and tasted it seriously.
After tasting it, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Turns out Vivi's cooking is so delicious! The heat control is just right, the meat is so tender, it's crispy on the outside and juicy inside, very flavorful, rich but not greasy..."
"I definitely need to eat more later; in short, it's super delicious!"
At that moment, Mother Lin also came over, "It sounds very tasty, let me also try some."
Mother Lin took over the chopsticks from her son, also took a piece of meat, tasted it, and also gave a thumbs up: "Wow, it really tastes great!"
Han Xuewei's mother said from the side, "This dish is a new recipe that Vivi's dad recently developed; he's quite confident about it."
Hearing everyone praise the dish, Han Xuewei nodded humbly with a flushed face.
At this point, Mother Lin suddenly said, "Mother-in-law, when Tian Bei (Lin Yi's dad) gets home, let's sit down and have a good talk, discuss the matter of holding a wedding celebration for Vivi and Lin Yi, what do you think?"
Han Xuewei's mother quickly nodded in agreement, "Sure! We were also looking for a time to discuss this with you. We have some other matters to talk about with everyone today. Let's discuss it after lunch!"
