He described how Jian Ning sized her up from top to bottom. Other than her background, the rest of her body fit the criteria of being a merchant's wife. It was just that he did not know if she had the luck to do so.
"Jian Ning, why are you suddenly worried about young master?" Uncle Liu's hands were behind his back, and his slightly squinting eyes were also full of calculations.
Even after she had walked very far, Uncle Liu did not look away. He stared at the direction Jian Ning left in an ambiguous manner, shook his head, and followed after her with a smile.
When Jian Ning came out to open the door, he did not even have time to clear the blush on his face. Uncle Liu pretended not to see anything and smiled as he walked into her room.
He solemnly placed the recipe into Jian Ning's hands, and said seriously: "This is Young Master's latest recipe, from now on, I'll be counting on Jian Ning."
This was a scalding sweet potato, but she had no choice but to take it and very sincerely thank Uncle Liu.
In the Shang family, she did not have the right to refuse. Thinking of this, her eyes darkened.
Uncle Liu had seen everything and knew what she was thinking.
"Young master is not a cold-hearted person, even if it's just a piece of wood, there would still be a day when it gets hot, let alone if he's just cold on the outside but hot on the inside."
"Uncle Liu, can you tell me about Shang Jin?" Jian Ning asked curiously.
Uncle Liu did not expect her to ask such a question, so she was momentarily at a loss as to how to begin.
He looked around at his surroundings, found a chair to sit on and started to recall some interesting memories of when Shang Jin was young.
"Young Master is a very good child. He has been kind since he was young. The reason why he became like this is because he has experienced grief. If there's a chance, you will understand."
Regarding Shang Jin's matter, Uncle Liu did not say much.
From his gaze, Jian Ning could vaguely understand that Shang Jin was not like this when he was young.
Very quickly, the topic shifted to Jian Ning. Uncle Liu smiled at her and asked: "Can Jian Ning cook?"
Jian Ning nodded, from the moment she left Jane's house, she had been the one to cook.
Uncle Liu closed his eyes in satisfaction, his fingers drumming rhythmically on his knees. "Then I'll have to trouble you with Young Master's food from now on."
Without giving Jian Ning a chance to reject, Uncle Liu spoke a few words of caution and immediately left her room.
Jian Ning looked at the recipe in her hands with difficulty, pursed her lips and sighed, then raised the recipe and looked at it helplessly.
"You're the one who grinds people. What I hate the most is cooking."
Despite her complaints, she still read through the recipe seriously before deciding on the dish she would cook tonight.
Three dishes and a soup, even with the meat and vegetables. It could be considered a balanced nutrition.
After listing the dishes she wanted to make tonight, she excitedly handed them over to Uncle Liu. Who knew that he would reject them right away after taking a glance at them?
"What is this fried shrimp with rapeseed? Also, turtle soup?" Our Young Master needs to be repaired, but he should at least use bones. "
Uncle Liu explained every dish to Jian Ning before finally deciding on five dishes to eat with Jian Ning. Only then did he run to the garden to bask in the sun with satisfaction.
Only Jian Ning was left, gritting his teeth as he looked at the menu, but he didn't have any other choice. He could only resign himself to his fate and run to the kitchen.
Ever since she came to the Jingshan Villa, Jian Ning's skills had unavoidably become a little undeveloped. However, every time Uncle Liu came, he would look down on her, striking her so hard that she almost lost her confidence.
After waiting for more than two hours, Jian Ning finally cooked something that Uncle Liu was more satisfied with, and then she could finally rest.
Just as she sat down, Uncle Liu immediately stood by her side. He patted her shoulder, pointed at the door, and said, "Young Master is coming back. Hurry and welcome him."
"..." Isn't that your job?
Uncle Liu gave a fake cough and rubbed his chin. He said with a serious expression, "The meal was cooked by you, so it's only right for you to go up and greet it, isn't it?"
"..." How could this be possible?
Jian Ning looked at this place speechlessly. Uncle Liu really wanted to know what he was thinking.
Seeing that she was not moving Uncle Liu towards her, he smiled gently and said: "My family's young master has a bad temper, Jian Ning, if you let him be dissatisfied, then his temper is not something that you and I can control."
This was an obvious threat, but Jian Ning had no choice, she could only obediently go out and welcome Shang Jin.
Looking at her back view, Uncle Liu was more and more satisfied with her. This kind of girl was neither arrogant nor impetuous. She had been so patient all afternoon. It was rare for her to be like this.
After waiting at the door for a few minutes, Shang Jin's car came in and Jian Ning immediately went to welcome him.
Shang Jin had just got off the car, seeing that it was Jian Ning, he hesitated for a moment, before frowning and walking towards her.
"Where's Uncle Liu?"
It was fine if he didn't mention Uncle Liu! Jian Ning angrily clenched his teeth, but when facing Shang Jin, he had to put on a smiling face, and very gently meet his gaze.
"Uncle Liu is waiting for you in the living room. He called me out to welcome him."
Shang Jin pretended not to hear the anger in Jian Ning's voice and pretended to nod indifferently, allowing her to push the wheelchair.
"Oh my young master, why did you come back at this time? I've already prepared food and waited for you for a while."
"..." Uncle Liu, you don't have to bully people like this.
Jian Ning opened her eyes wide and stared at Uncle Liu. She was surprised that Liu had lied so smoothly, his face did not even turn red.
Noticing Jian Ning's gaze, Uncle Liu also looked over and waved his hands towards Jian Ning: "Jian Ning, didn't you say you're tired? Why aren't you going up to rest?
At this time, Jian Ning was at a loss of what to say other than glare at Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu was too shameless, and she was not his opponent.
"Not feeling well?" Shang Jin turned around and glanced at her, worry quickly flashing past his eyes.
"That's right. He's so young, yet he has so many problems. What's he going to do when he gets old?" Uncle Liu 'concernedly' answered.
"Then go back to your room and rest."
Shang Jin did not have any doubts as he turned and walked towards the dining hall.
Jian Ning bit her lips and looked towards the direction of the dining hall, gulping down her saliva, she had been busy the whole afternoon, so she was hungry too.
However, Uncle Liu glared at her, causing her to immediately not dare to say anything. It was better for her to hurry back to her room.
After around two hours, Jian Ning laid on the bed and covered her stomach. She did not eat dinner, but her stomach was already starting to ache slowly.
"Knock —"
Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on the door. Without thinking, Jian Ning knew who the person outside was.
Gritting her teeth, she sat up from the bed and patted her cheeks. After confirming that her expression was normal, she stood up and went to open the door.
