Su Xiyin had cooked a whole table of food, including cuisines from the southern side of the country, with a tasty appearance, nice fragrance, and delectable taste. One look at the food and one could tell that she had incredible culinary skills.

After cooking, she had no intention of leaving.

Ling Sheng thought the helper’s behavior and expression seemed a little weird. Could she be a fan who wanted to have a peek at Huo Ci’s life?

However…

She looked a little old to be such a fan!

“Auntie, do you want to eat with us?” Ling Sheng asked after noticing her expression. The helper seemed to be in a dilemma about whether she should leave.

“Alright!” Su Xiyin had been waiting for her to say that. Her voice was gentle when she spoke abashedly. “Am I bothering you?”

Slightly annoyed, Ling Sheng thought the lady was indeed not embarrassed.

Did she not know that was a question of courtesy?

Besides the lady’s curiosity, her appearance and elegance were very much unlike the long-time part-time helpers. Where had her father found this helper?

During the meal, Ling Sheng could not help but ask herself that question.

Feeling that she might have just ruined the situation, Su Xiyin wondered if she had acted overboard and had been discovered by the girl. She smiled as she said, “Sheng Sheng, my family situation is not bad, and my son dotes on me.

“Old people tend to find something to pass their time. Cooking is something I like, which is why I ended up doing this job. As for Huo Ci’s house, it has always been me helping out.

“Auntie Zhu came previously, right? That was because I applied for leave. My husband took me out of town for vacation.”

As she was watching her smile, Ling Sheng’s spirits were miraculously lifted as well. Her smile seemed to be magically infectious.

The lady spoke with a mild temperament. She was like a Gangnam beauty who had stepped out of a book and gave off an ancient vibe and water-like gentility.

Ling Xiao Qi was tremendously happy, for he was really fond of this granny.

Su Xiyin did not eat much herself, serving Ling Xiao Qi and Ling Sheng food busily instead. “Sheng Sheng, are y’all used to eating this food?”
