Chapter 201 - Backstabbers (2/2)
Before Cixi could say something else, he ran towards the house. She also followed him.
When they got to the entrance, they saw a black car parked there. They both wondered who it was but Jianjun remembered he had seen the car before
”Looks like it's Mr Li's” Jianjun noted. But any socialite could have this same car. What if it was someone else? He wondered.
”Oh.. Nephew in-law?” Cixi excitedly ran inside the house before Jianjun could enter.

”Mis...ter Li?” Sara called his name in shock when she saw him by the fire.
He turned to look at her and used his chin to signal for her to leave the kitchen since both his hands were busy. One hand was holding the pan with a little napkin while the other was busy stirring.
”Go outside. You might choke” He said to her.
Sara could smell pepper everywhere since it was now on the fire and instantly, she began to cough. Thankfully, she still had the face mask that helped cover her nose.
”I told you to go outside” He scolded unhappily when he heard her cough.
”Aww that's so sweet” Joreen said happily as she watched the 'romantic' scene unfold before her eyes.
”Sis. Brother in-law is a really good cook” Bilike said excitedly before giving Muchen a thumbs up.
Hearing the words 'Brother in-law' Muchen smiled but continued with what he was doing.
”Mister Li... Leave it. I'll continue. You're just returning from work. You shouldn't be doing this. My father will kill me if he finds out about this” Sara pleaded with him but he refued to budge.
”The oil might touch you. Just go outside. Your father won't know. Are you all going to tell him?” He turned his head to look at Bilike, Joreen and Mr Chu.
”No” The three of them said in unison.
”Cute banana go outside and stop distracting him.” Mr Chu added with an amused look on his face.
Sara looked at all the backstabbers. They had been fully supporting her when she wanted to cook but now they all preferred Muchen to her? She was going to take the cooking classes and pay them back for this humiliation.
Bilike kept smiling and asking what Muchen wanted him to do to help. Same with Joreen.
”Jesus Christ!”
Sara froze when she heard her father's loud exclamation. It was over. Jianjun Wang was going to kill her.
”Mr Li. What are you doing?” Cixi asked in shock.
Jianjun took slow steps inside the kitchen like he had just seen something really frightening.
When Sara saw him approaching, she slowly backed away from his reach while waving both hands in front of me. ”I don't know anything. I didn't do anything. Ask them I swear”
Muchen lowered the heat and stood in between Sara and Jianjun. He bowed to greet the people who just entered before saying. ”She really did nothing. It was my idea.”
”Sara Wang” Jianjun called gently and cocked his head to look at her behind Muchen.
”How can you let him cook? Is this how you treat guests when I'm not around?”
”Yes! How can you let him cook? I'm also not in support” Mr Chu stood up and spoke fiercely. ”Erm.. I'll go use the bathroom” He quickly excused himself before Sara's eyes burned him.
”Oh my God! You can really cook. You're so cool” Cixi stood in between Muchen and Jianjun and shook his hands excitedly.
