After discussing with Mr. Zhuang Daozhong, Feng Yifan and his father Feng Jiandong did not stay long. They said goodbye to the old man and left the hotel.
At this time, in Su Ji Restaurant, Feng Ruoruo, her mother, grandmother and grandfather had already seen off her good friend.
The little girl originally thought that her father and grandfather would be back soon after seeing someone off, and then she could let her father take her and the whole family to the park to play.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, her father and grandfather did not come back, and little Feng Ruoruo gradually began to feel unhappy.
"Mom, why haven't Dad and Grandpa come back yet?"
Su Ruoxi, who had already started to tidy up and clean the restaurant, was actually very confused. Even if they were going to see someone off, it shouldn't take so long, right? Did her husband and father-in-law have to send her off to the highway
Hearing her daughter's question, Su Ruoxi answered helplessly, "Mom doesn't know either. It seemed that it took Dad and Grandpa a little while to send them off."
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "It's not just a little while, it's been a very long time."
Lu Cuiling was also very curious: "Where did these two send the person? Did they send him back?"
After thinking about it, Lu Cuiling took out her phone and dialed her husband's cell phone directly.
Soon the call was connected. When Feng Ruoruo saw the call was connected, she ran to her grandmother and shouted into the phone on tiptoe: "Grandpa, where have you and Dad been? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Feng Jiandong heard his granddaughter's cry on the other end of the phone, looked at his son who was driving with some surprise and asked, "Didn't you tell your family when you came out?"
Feng Yifan had already started to speed up at this time: "Oh, I forgot."
Feng Jiandong looked helpless: "You are really amazing. Now your daughter has started to make trouble at home. Let's see what you will do when you go back."
After saying this, Feng Jiandong quickly told the person on the phone about how he and his son had come to see Mr. Zhuang Daozhong.
Lu Cuiling sounded a little strange on the phone: "Why are you going to see Mr. Zhuang so late at night?"
Feng Jiandong thought about it and felt that it would be difficult to explain it clearly over the phone, so he could only say, "We have returned. When we return, let your son explain it to you."
Lu Cuiling said angrily, "Then hurry back and let that brat explain himself to me."
Feng Jiandong also deliberately turned on the speakerphone mode of his mobile phone so that his son could hear his mother's voice.
After his wife finished speaking, Feng Jiandong said, "Did you hear that? Let's see what you will do when you go back."
Feng Ruoruo, who was beside her grandmother on the other end of the phone, shouted into her grandmother's phone again: "Grandpa, please ask Dad to come back soon. Ruoruo has been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back, Ruoruo will be angry."
While driving, Feng Yifan said to the person on the phone: "Okay, Dad will be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Mom, where did Dad and Yifan go?"
Lu Cuiling said in surprise, "I heard from Grandpa Ruoruo that the two of them went to see Grandpa Zhuang. I don't know what they were doing there. Let's ask them when they come back."
Su Ruoxi was also confused after hearing this, and then looked at her father, wanting to ask if it was her father who asked them to go
But Su Jinrong was also confused at this time. It was obviously not him who asked Feng Yifan to go, and he didn't seem to understand why his son-in-law went to find his uncle at this time
However, Su Jinrong thought about it carefully and seemed to vaguely guess the purpose of his son-in-law going to see his uncle.
Su Jinrong guessed: "It may be related to your aunt and the competition held by Fujing Building."
Lu Cuiling was surprised to hear this and asked, "But didn't Yifan say that he wouldn't participate in that competition?"
Su Jinrong agreed with his son-in-law not to attend: "Well, he shouldn't go, it would lose his worth."
In Su Jinrong's opinion, no matter how powerful the judges his sister invited were, letting his son-in-law participate in that competition would obviously lower his son-in-law's status.
The real top chefs would not show up for that kind of competition. The only ones who would participate would be some chefs who were not too famous, or were still in the apprenticeship stage, or some folk masters.
Feng Yifan is a descendant of Su's family and he has learned the skills from top state banquet chefs. It would be too cheap of him to attend the event.
What’s more important is that Feng Yifan’s personal improvement will not be significant by participating in the competition, regardless of whether he wins or loses.
If it is a state banquet chef selection, or a national-level cooking competition, then it is certainly worth participating in. Because there you can really see the top chefs and learn a lot.
So in Su Jinrong's opinion, there is really no need for his son-in-law to attend, nor should he attend.
But Su Jinrong also knew that if his son-in-law did not attend, his sister would definitely not give up and would definitely find a way to force Su Ji.
So Su Jinrong could naturally guess some of the purpose of his son-in-law going to see his uncle tonight.
"Yifan wants to let his uncle witness him competing with Su Lanxin and the others."
When Lu Cuiling heard this, she thought her son's idea was a good one: "This is a good idea. Let Old Master Zhuang come out to witness it. He can compete with Su Lanxin or Chen Wei. If he wins, they will give up completely."
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "But, it seems that my aunt wants to use that competition to improve the reputation of Fujing Building. If Yifan doesn't participate, will it give my aunt the upper hand? Will she take the opportunity to hype up the reputation of Fujing Building?"
Lu Cuiling immediately felt that her daughter-in-law was right: "Yes, wouldn't this give them the upper hand?"
After hesitating for a while, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but say, "Besides, maybe through their publicity, people will think that they are the real descendants of Su Ji."
What Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi didn't expect was that after hearing Lu Cuiling's somewhat worried words, Su Jinrong was not angry at all.
Su Jinrong hugged Feng Ruoruo who came close to him, as if he wanted to comfort his grandfather. He looked at his granddaughter with a kind face, and then spoke in a deep and calm voice.
"If she can enhance the reputation of her ancestors and not bring disgrace upon them, there is nothing wrong with her identity as the heir of Su Ji. She is your aunt, and her and Chen Wei's cooking skills were passed down from Su Ji."
Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi were a little surprised.
Especially Su Ruoxi never expected that her father would be so indifferent
In Su Ruoxi's eyes, the father at this moment was completely different from the father who was full of anger and almost wanted to fight with her aunt when her aunt first came to visit.
Su Ruoxi understood that her father had really let it go. Perhaps it would make people feel that he had no fighting spirit, and he shouldn't let the other party go like this.
But Su Ruoxi thought about it carefully and felt that it was good for her father to be able to let go of things like this. At least her father could easily control his emotions and would no longer get angry about the past, which was good for his health.
In Su Ruoxi's opinion, as long as her father can recover and stay healthy in the future, it is more important than anything else.
Feng Ruoruo didn't quite understand what her grandfather said, but the little girl vaguely thought that her grandfather was probably talking about the bad guy.
So Feng Ruoruo asked: "Grandpa, do you want to forgive that bad guy?"
Su Jinrong looked down at his granddaughter and saw the innocent eyes and pretty face of the little girl. On her innocent face, she didn't understand many things, but she knew who the bad guy was.
Su Jinrong smiled and reached out to touch his granddaughter's head: "Ruoruo, do you think that your great aunt is a bad person?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "She is a bad person, not some great aunt. She even made grandpa sick. Ruoruo doesn't like her."
Su Jinrong continued, "Well, if Ruoruo doesn't like it, then, in the future, we won't let her come."
Feng Ruoruo immediately became happy after hearing what her grandfather said: "Okay, okay, Grandpa, we won't let her come over in the future, and won't let Dad cook for her, so that she won't make Grandpa sick."
Su Jinrong was amused by his granddaughter. Children's thoughts are so direct and simple.
You are a bad person, so I won’t play with you.
But in fact, what the granddaughter said was quite consistent with Su Jinrong's idea at the moment. That is, let the son-in-law compete once to make the other party give up, and then they will have nothing to do with each other and run their own restaurants.
Of course, the old plaque cannot be given.
Allowing Su Lanxin to take on the identity of the Su family's successor is the last act of tolerance that Su Jinrong, as her brother, shows towards his sister.
Perhaps Feng Yifan himself would not have thought that he changed the course of events.
It seemed that the originally unresolved feud had suddenly turned into the father-in-law letting go of everything. He no longer wanted to fight with his sister. As long as the old plaque passed down by the ancestors was there, he would let his sister do whatever she wanted and they should stop interacting with each other.
This treatment was indeed merciful.
But they were siblings, and blood was thicker than water. Su Jinrong didn't really want to fight to the death. He had already let things go and let things go.
Or it should be said that Su Jinrong was tired. The moment he took out the recipe and handed it to his son-in-law, he was ready to step down from the responsibility of running Su's business and hand it over to his son-in-law and daughter.
In the following time, Su Jinrong just wants to work hard to exercise and recover, take good care of his granddaughter, and accompany her to grow up happily. Isn’t that great
Seeing the happy looks of the grandparents and grandchildren, Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi naturally understood what Su Jinrong was thinking at the moment.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and then smiled at each other. They were also very happy with such a result. Being safe and happy is the greatest blessing for a family.
Not long after, Feng Yifan and his father Feng Jiandong came back. The moment they entered the door, Feng Ruoruo rushed to her father.
The little girl put her hands on her waist and looked at her father with dissatisfaction: "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late? You went out with grandpa, why didn't you tell Ruoruo? Why didn't you take Ruoruo with you?"
At this moment, Feng Ruoruo was like a little adult. She blocked her father who had just entered the door and questioned him rudely.
Feng Yifan was stunned at first, but then he was amused by his daughter's little appearance. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to hold his daughter in his arms, wanting to be intimate with her.
But Feng Ruoruo refused. The little girl said seriously, "Don't laugh. Answer Ruoruo's question carefully."
When Su Ruoxi saw her daughter's expression, she couldn't help but join in the fun: "Behave properly, don't be so playful, don't fool us Ruoruo, tell me the truth, what did you do?"
Feng Ruoruo listened to her mother's words and immediately followed suit: "Yes, Daddy, you need to have a correct attitude and tell the truth."
Faced with his wife's instigation and his daughter's unhappy questioning, Feng Yifan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Finally, he could only explain to his daughter obediently: "Dad actually went to deliver dinner to Grandpa Zhuang. Didn't your brother Xiaozhuang go back early? So there was no one to take care of Grandpa Zhuang's meal? So Dad went to deliver the meal."
After hearing her father's answer, Feng Ruoruo was surprised and asked, "Oh, is Brother Xiaozhuang home?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, Brother Xiaozhuang had to go to class, so he went back alone. As for Grandpa Zhuang, he had other things to do, so he stayed here alone."
Feng Ruoruo nodded her head. She understood where her father had gone and she was no longer angry.
The anger disappeared, Feng Ruoruo immediately smiled, and then prepared to hug her father.
But at this moment, my mother suddenly spoke again: "What Ruoruo's father said is wrong. He hasn't answered yet. Why didn't he take Ruoruo with him when he went to deliver food to great-grandfather?"
Hearing what his wife said, Feng Yifan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He really felt like he was being deliberately targeted by his wife.
Moreover, the knife in the back was so steady and fierce, full of the cruelty of a wife.
When Feng Ruoruo heard her mother say this, she immediately reacted and stopped hugging her father. She even took two steps back to keep a distance from her father and said seriously, "Mom is right. Dad, you answer the question. Why don't you bring Ruoruo with you?"
Feng Yifan looked at his daughter, then at his wife standing behind her. At this time, his wife's face was already full of smiles, and she could hardly hold back her laughter.
Feeling somewhat helpless and still at a loss whether to laugh or cry, Feng Yifan could only continue to explain to his daughter.
"It's like this. When grandpa and I went there, your friend Ruoruo hadn't left yet. Ruoruo, didn't you want to send Xixi and Feifei off? But if dad doesn't go quickly, the porridge for great-grandfather will get cold."
After listening to her father's explanation, Feng Ruoruo felt that what her father said made sense.
If the porridge gets cold, it won’t taste good. My great-grandfather is already very big, even bigger than my grandparents and grandpa. If he eats cold porridge, he might get a stomachache.
The little girl thought about it and felt that her father was right. A smile appeared on her face again: "Well, I will forgive Dad this time."
Hearing his daughter say that she forgave him, Feng Yifan was really relieved. He walked forward and hugged his daughter in his arms.
At the same time, Feng Yifan also noticed the half-smile on his wife's face, and realized that his wife had let him off the hook and did not continue to ask him any more difficult questions.
Feng Yifan smiled at his wife again and gave her a kiss from a distance as a token of his gratitude for not killing him.
Su Ruoxi raised her chin proudly and said silently, "Remember, don't bully me in the future, or I will let my daughter teach you a lesson."
