Chapter 243 – the affirmation of Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun’s relationship! (2)
And then there was Lu Mingzhe who was standing next to the door.
Lu Mingzhe, too, had noticed Meng Yuran.
Without a shred of embarrassment of being caught red-handed, he went over and sat down next to the dinner table, poised as usual.
The two teenage boys sitting across from each other with the divide between them clear like day.
Being bossed around by Lin Yiyi, Lu Xun, when carrying out the rolled scrambled eggs and pumpkin cake, was oblivious to the heavy atmosphere between the two boys.
In fact, he even said to them passionately, “Eat something while you’re waiting. Mushroom and fish porridge is coming up. It will be ready in another 10 minutes or so.”
Meng Yuran let out a light hrumph sound.
Exactly whose house was this?
Could you not be so familiar here?
Lu Mingzhe ignored him, picked up a rolled egg, placed it in his own bowl and started enjoying it.
The wonderful aroma of the fish porridge could be detected coming from the kitchen from time to time. This rolled egg, too, was quite good.
Even though he was used to having sandwiches at home and rarely had Chinese food for breakfast, he didn’t find it difficult to get used to at all!
Quite the contrary, as it was so delicious, he immediately reached his chopsticks out again after he wolfed down the first one.
Suddenly, the entire plate of rolled eggs was taken away by Meng Yuran, who was suddenly alarmed by the impending danger.
Lu Mingzhe’s chopsticks made a turn in midair and went for the pumpkin cake instead.
The pumpkin was fluffy and sweet and every bit as good as an actual cake. It had exceeded his expectations.
Meng Yuran gave him a vicious middle finger in his mind.
And, that was not the end of it.
When Meng Shanshan came downstairs, she took a whiff and the sweet aroma from the kitchen woke this little foodie up immediately!
She pitter-pattered into the dining room, walked straight over to Lu Mingzhe, and sat down next to him.
As soon as she was seated, she got a mouthful of cake.
“Tasty?” asked Lu Mingzhe with a slight smile.
Meng Shanshan nodded. It was so tasty that she squinted her eyes.
She pointed at the plate in front of her brother with her white and tender fingers and said, “I want some rolled eggs.”

Lu Mingzhe, too, looked over at Meng Yuran sitting across from him with his long face and said in his usual distant politeness, “Shanshan wants some rolled eggs.”
Meng Yuran, “……”
He suddenly felt that he had been betrayed by his ungrateful little sister!
It was then that Lin Yiyi walked out with a clay pot in hand.
Following behind her, carrying some bowls with him, was Lu Xun.
Both the uncle and the nephew were eyesores!
Meng Yuran poked with his chopsticks as though he was poking at the two Lu’s.
The fish porridge was soft and tender. A spoonful in one’s mouth and it would slip down one’s esophagus all on its own. All of a sudden, there would be a satisfying warm feeling in one’s stomach.
Porridge in the morning was easy to digest and was also healthy for one’s gastrointestinal system.
Not to mention that the mushroom and fish porridge that Lin Yiyi made with the clay pot was truly delicious. Even the uncle and nephew duo, who didn’t have porridge often, were wolfing it down like nobody’s business.
Lu Xun was generous with his praising words. “It would truly be a waste if you didn’t have your own restaurants.”
Nowadays, he had been going to Number 2 Restaurant under his office for lunch every day.
And he wasn’t the only one either. Executive Assistant Zhou as well.
It was obviously much better than fast food. Who would want to pinch their nose and force themselves to have those fast food that was made in bulk?
Besides, he made good money plus a sizable bonus at year end. That was no reason for him to want to mistreat himself.
And the rest of Shengshi’s employees as well. Most of them would order a few dishes together. That way they could save money and not be wasteful.
Lin Yiyi’s two restaurants, albeit their good business and being raved about online, had always been mid-tier restaurants. An average meal there would cost around 50 ~ 60 yuan.
It didn’t look profitable but they actually make a lot of money from the sheer volume.
Her locations were perfect as well. She had spent a lot of time picking them out. They were located in the middle of the commercial district with a few office buildings around and lots of white collared workers.
People nowadays knew how to enjoy life and would want to get together for a meal from time to time. Number 1 and Number 2 Restaurants were tasty. Why would anyone not want to go there?
The only issue was the long lines every day during lunch time!
Lin Yiyi didn’t go into her office today but went to check out Number 2 Restaurant in person.
That being said, even at her own restaurant, she still quickly learned that she had made the most trending list again!
The scale of the charity ball organized by Yao Yuan Media was grand and it was even very successful.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, the top news on the most trending list was the affirmation of Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun’s relationship!
