Too Far Away

The Li family's head said Li Kun that if he couldn't invite Jian Xing'er back, Li Kun would no longer be a member of the Li family.

Since things had already come to this, in order to protect his status, Li Kun could only go to Sea City immediately to invite Jian Xing'er.

Jian Xing'er had been at home for the past two days, waiting for the organization to send someone over.

However, there had been no news for the past two days.

Jian Xing'er didn't give up.

At noon, Jian Xing'er wanted to make something to eat.

As soon as she entered the dining room, Jian Xing'er was stunned.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, including seafood, steak, and red wine.

Just this bottle of red wine cost more than 300,000 yuan.

This table full of delicacies cost at least a million yuan in total.

Shangguan Ding was sitting at the dining table and reading. When he saw Jian Xing'er coming over, he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "I invited a famous chef from Sea City to make these. Try them and see if they're delicious or not."

Jian Xing'er was already starving!

Since he had already made it, she couldn't waste it. Jian Xing'er sat on the chair and tasted a few dishes. They all tasted delicious.

Shangguan Ding frowned after taking a bite.

Shangguan Ding said, "Sea City's chefs are not as good as the capital's chefs. Their culinary skills are a little lacking."

Then, after Shangguan Ding ate a little, he began to drink red wine.

Obviously, Shangguan Ding wasn't satisfied with this meal.

Jian Xing'er couldn't help but ask, "Did you always eat like this in the capital in the past?"

Shangguan Ding nodded and said, "That's right. I have the best chef in the country at home. Every day, he cooks all kinds of delicious dishes. I've basically eaten every kind of dish there is."

Jian Xing'er was shocked!

Although she could tell that Shangguan Ding wasn't ordinary, his family was way too rich!

A meal like this would cost about a million yuan per month. If there were even more expensive dishes, it would cost at least 70 to 80 million yuan.

In Shangguan Ding's family, the food budget alone was nearly 100 million yuan per month!

An ordinary family would go bankrupt in five to six years if they dined like this everyday!

Speaking of cooking, Jian Xing'er's culinary skills were also very good. No one could match her balance of nutrition and taste.

When she was still the daughter-in-law of the Hou family, the servants cooked, so Jian Xing'er didn't have the chance to show off her culinary skills.

Shangguan Ding suddenly asked, "Do you know how to cook?"

Hearing this question, Jian Xing'er wanted to laugh.

If Jian Xing'er didn't know how to cook, it was impossible for anyone to know how to cook.

Since she had nothing to do now, Jian Xing'er planned to show off.

Jian Xing'er said, "Wait for ten minutes…"

With that, Jian Xing'er went straight into the kitchen and prepared to show off her skills.

Although she had not cooked for many years, her culinary skills had not deteriorated at all.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Jian Xing'er made a pot of nourishing soup.

Shangguan Ding was waiting to see Jian Xing'er make a fool of herself.

After Shangguan Ding came in, he checked and saw the kitchen utensils had not been touched, so he guessed that Jian Xing'er probably didn't know how to cook.

Shangguan Ding said directly, "I'm already full. You can eat it yourself."

With that, Shangguan stood up and went to the living room.

Jian Xing'er didn't care. She smiled as she opened the lid.

Instantly, the aroma filled the dining room. The servants were attracted by the smell and looked at the tonic soup on the table. At the same time, they swallowed hard.

After Jian Xing'er drank a bowl, she felt that it tasted alright.

Jian Xing'er said to the servants at the door, "Don't waste it. Come help me finish it!"

When the servants heard this, they ran into the dining room.

No one could resist the aroma of Jian Xing'er's cooking!

The servants were drooling.

Jian Xing'er smiled as she walked out to the courtyard to check the surveillance cameras and alarms.

When Shangguan Ding, who was reading on the sofa, saw Jian Xing'er go out, he immediately put down his book, swallowed hard, and ran into the dining room.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the restaurant, Shangguan Ding deliberately coughed a few times.

When the servants saw Shangguan Ding, they immediately put down their bowls and lowered their heads. No one dared to speak.

Shangguan Ding couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"

As he walked closer, Shangguan Ding went forward to smell it again and felt that he was about to drool.

Without caring about his image, Shangguan Ding took a sip with a spoon with a delighted look on his face.

Shangguan Ding had eaten everything ever since he was young, but this was the first time he had tasted such delicious soup.

The servants around them kept swallowing hard.

Shangguan Ding said, "Everyone, get out!"

"Everyone will get a 100,000 yuan bonus at the end of the month."

The servants were originally a little dissatisfied. After all, they would probably only be able to taste such delicious food once in their lives. However, when they heard that there was a 100,000 yuan bonus, they immediately walked out happily.
