Su Ji had closed, but the family was still sitting in the restaurant, listening to Feng Yifan tell everyone about his and his father's search for Zhuang Daozhong and his plans.
The whole family listened very carefully. Even the naughty little Feng Ruoruo knew to keep quiet when his father was speaking.
After listening to his son-in-law's words, Su Jinrong spoke first this time: "You want to participate in Aunt Ruoxi's competition and taste people?"
The father-in-law was quite understanding and immediately grasped the key point of his son-in-law's statement.
The so-called remote competition means that Feng Yifan is obviously borrowing Mr. Zhuang's status to elevate his own identity and to judge the entire cooking competition that Su Lanxin is going to hold in a condescending manner.
If Su Lanxin knew about this method, she would probably feel very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
The most important thing is that Feng Yifan is very clear about Su Lanxin's real intention of holding the competition. Knowing that she will definitely reveal her identity as the heir of Su's family, she will be helpless if Feng Yifan comes out to taste again.
This means that it was Su Lanxin herself who raised the status of Su’s company and elevated Feng Yifan’s identity.
Feng Yifan smiled and responded to his father-in-law: "Dad, you are right. I am going to be the off-site judge and directly judge the competition. Since we are going to compete with my aunt, we naturally have to compete on the same level."
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law and finally couldn't help laughing: "Very mean."
Feng Yifan laughed along: "This trick can be regarded as revenge for Auntie who made you sick due to her anger."
Lu Cuiling couldn't help but say, "Son, you are still too kind. You should deal with Su Lanxin directly. If she dares to say that she is the heir of Su's family, we will expose her and make her lose face."
Feng Jiandong reached out and pulled his wife to stop him, saying, "Don't talk nonsense here. If those things are really exposed, will we be respectable here? Won't we just be used as a joke after dinner?"
Lu Cuiling was a little confused at first, but she soon figured out the key.
Indeed, if Su Ji's family affairs were exposed, it would definitely be a lose-lose outcome. Even if everyone boycotted Su Lanxin through sympathy, even if she was forced to withdraw from the domestic market.
But in the end, Su Ji's reputation will also be affected, and everyone will laugh at Su Ji's ancestors for causing such a family conflict after dinner.
As a result, what people may remember is no longer Su Ji’s delicious food, but the grievances and love-hate relationship between the two Su Ji brothers and sisters.
Lu Cuiling figured it out and could only admit, "Well, son, your method is indeed the best solution."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "At least, it won't draw too much attention to the Su Ji family conflict, and it can also be considered as promoting Su Ji. Although my aunt will also benefit in the end, we still get the greater advantage."
Su Ruoxi also agreed with her husband: "Well, in the end, we did gain more benefits. We can further let everyone know about Su Ji and know that there is a small restaurant like ours in Huaicheng, Su Ji, which has been passed down for a hundred years."
When Feng Ruoruo saw her father and mother both saying "take advantage", the little girl also said: "We are taking advantage."
Hearing her granddaughter suddenly say this, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but smile and asked: "Ruoruo, do you know what it means to take advantage? Did you understand what mom and dad just said?"
Feng Ruoruo answered confidently, "I don't know. I didn't understand what Mom and Dad said. But I think what Mom and Dad said must be right, so we must have taken advantage."
The little girl's words made everyone stunned again, and then they all started laughing.
The happy laughter of the whole family echoed in the closed restaurant.
When Feng Ruoruo saw that everyone was laughing, she pouted and said, "Don't laugh. If you all laugh at Ruoruo, then Ruoruo will be unhappy and will ignore you."
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and said, "No, everyone is not laughing at Ruoruo. We are laughing at what Ruoruo said is right."
Su Ruoxi also said: "Yes, Ruoruo is right."
Feng Ruoruo then looked at her grandfather and grandparents, and after confirming, she also laughed: "Ruoruo knew it, Ruoruo must be right, Ruoruo must be very smart."
The little girl's proud look is really adorable, making the whole family feel very happy.
Lu Cuiling immediately praised: "Our Ruoruo is of course very smart, she is the smartest little girl."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, that's not true. Ruoruo thinks Xixi and Feifei are also very smart. All the kids in the kindergarten are very smart. Ruoruo is not the smartest."
Lu Cuiling reached out and pulled her granddaughter over, holding her in her arms and said, "But grandma thinks that Ruoruo is the smartest, and grandma won't accept any rebuttal."
Receiving praise from her grandmother, Feng Ruoruo laughed happily in her grandmother's arms.
After letting Feng Ruoruo play for a while, everyone cleaned up the restaurant and went upstairs to get ready for bed.
Tonight, because her grandfather is here, Feng Ruoruo can finally sleep with her parents again. The little girl is naturally very happy.
Grandma was very unhappy. She looked at Grandpa and pouted, "Why don't you just go back with the two Qian brothers? I can't take Ruoruo to sleep at night."
Feng Jiandong was a little amused by his wife's complaints, but he could only whisper: "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
Feng Yifan went to help his father-in-law wash up first.
Su Jinrong waited until his son-in-law finished his work and lay down before he spoke: "You are working hard, don't do it, it's too much of a stretch."
Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what his father-in-law meant. He wanted to tell him that he didn't have to compete with Su Lanxin.
Seeing that his father-in-law has indeed let it go, Feng Yifan is happy for him.
In any case, there is no doubt that it will be better for my father-in-law's health if he can be more open-minded.
But Feng Yifan still said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I promise that after this time, aunt and the others will not come to cause trouble again, and we can live a peaceful life at Su Ji."
Su Jinrong now trusts his son-in-law very much: "I believe you."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Okay, Dad, since you trust me, then go to bed early. We're going to open the store again tomorrow. If you're too busy then, you have to go to the kitchen and help me keep an eye on Lin Ruifeng."
Su Jinrong laughed after hearing this: "Ruifeng, you are very hardworking and have learned a lot in a short time. Otherwise, you can go and see it."
Feng Yifan understood what his father-in-law meant. He thought that if Lin Ruifeng had studied for such a short time, he could go to the competition to gain some experience.
Feng Yifan said calmly: "It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as he is willing to work hard, he should be able to give it a try in half a year. Then we will go together to encourage him."
After letting his father-in-law go to sleep, Feng Yifan got up and left.
I returned to the next room and saw that my wife and daughter were already asleep in bed.
When little Feng Ruoruo heard his father come in, he immediately raised his head and looked at his father with a smile, obviously waiting for his father to go to bed so that he could tell him a story.
Feng Yifan winked at his daughter and said, "Daddy is going to take a shower first."
Feng Ruoruo immediately agreed and lay down next to her mother, waiting for her father to finish taking a bath and lie down.
Feng Yifan took a shower very quickly. After all, he took a shower every day, and he didn't have any business today, so he didn't need to be too serious. He just needed to rinse.
After rinsing, Feng Yifan got on the bed and lay down on the other side of his daughter.
Feng Ruoruo immediately twisted her little body from her mother's arms to her father's arms. Then she hugged her father with one hand and her mother with the other, so that her parents surrounded her.
It seemed that this feeling would make the little girl very satisfied. Feng Ruoruo smiled and said to her father: "Dad, what story are we going to tell today?"
Feng Yifan smiled and whispered to his daughter, "Today, let's tell the story of a foreign girl who accidentally fell into a rabbit hole while chasing a rabbit."
Feng Ruoruo immediately perked up, looked at her father with wide eyes, and looked forward to his story.
Feng Yifan spoke slowly, trying to make it as vivid as possible for his daughter. Even his wife who was sleeping beside him was listening with great interest.
In fact, Su Ruoxi had read the story book and had some understanding of the story itself, but after listening to her husband's story, she found it quite interesting.
Feng Yifan continued to tell the story slowly until his daughter fell asleep sweetly in his arms.
Although the daughter had fallen asleep, his wife was still awake. Su Ruoxi saw her husband stop and quickly asked, "What happened next?"
Feng Yifan smiled and whispered, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Ruoruo is already asleep, don't wake her up."
Su Ruoxi pouted and muttered unhappily, "You're just thinking about your daughter."
Feng Yifan leaned forward and quickly kissed his wife's pursed lips, then whispered in her ear, "I'm thinking of you, too. You and Ruoruo are both my treasures, and I will never give up on you again."
Su Ruoxi was very happy when she heard this, but she still said, "You only know how to say nice things."
Then, Su Ruoxi pushed aside some of her husbands and asked, "How did you think of using that method to compete with aunt?"
Feng Yifan answered his wife softly: "Didn't I already say this? Because this way, outsiders won't know about our family affairs, and didn't you realize that Dad doesn't blame Auntie?"
Su Ruoxi sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Of course I know, after all, she is Dad's biological sister."
After a pause, Su Ruoxi continued to say to her husband: "I once heard that Dad and my aunt had a very good relationship when they were young, but later my aunt became a little rebellious because of learning cooking."
Feng Yifan whispered, "My uncle may have played a role in this. A girl who is in love may no longer be a good girl in her father's eyes."
When Su Ruoxi heard her husband say this, she glanced at her daughter in her arms and couldn't help but whispered, "Are you afraid that Ruoruo will be like that in the future? If you have a stroke and end up in a wheelchair, there will be no one to take care of you."
Feng Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when his wife said this: "Is there anyone who curses her husband like you?"
Su Ruoxi chuckled a few times and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Feng Yifan looked at his sleeping daughter and said, "I don't think so. Our Ruoruo is so cute and sensible. I will definitely protect her well."
Su Ruoxi smiled and asked, "Don't dodge the main point. You said it yourself, a girl in love is no longer a good girl in her father's eyes."
Feng Yifan showed off his fatherly dignity and said, "Which big pig's hoof dares to set his sights on me, Ruoruo? Aren't you afraid that I will chop off the pig's hoof with a kitchen knife and cook it?"
Seeing her husband's fierce look, Su Ruoxi continued to smile: "Then you will probably have a falling out with your daughter, and then she will leave you. What will you do as an old man, all alone?"
Feng Yifan kissed his wife and said, "Don't we still have you? If our daughter really finds a boy who loves her, we will bless her, and then we two old guys will find a beautiful place to live in our old age."
At this point, Feng Yifan couldn't help but start to daydream.
"Well, I will cook for you every day. What about you? Make desserts for me every day. It will be so wonderful for us two old men and women."
When Su Ruoxi heard what her husband said, the same scene appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but think that it was indeed beautiful.
But then Su Ruoxi changed her mind and said, "Who wants to make desserts for you every day? You are so old. If you eat sweets every day, aren't you afraid that your body will have problems? I will definitely not make desserts for you when the time comes. I will make them for your grandchildren."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You old lady, you're thinking about your grandchildren so quickly."
Su Ruoxi also laughed: "You old man, you are destined to cook for the rest of your life. After serving your daughter, you will serve your grandchildren."
Feng Yifan pretended to be an old man and said, "Ahem, I'm happy to do that. Old lady, you still need to learn how to make desserts."
Her husband deliberately pretended to speak like an old man, which made Su Ruoxi laugh. While smiling, she was also looking forward to such a scene, and felt that she and her husband were really interesting.
The couple amused themselves for a while, and then Su Ruoxi slowly lay down, holding her daughter in her arms.
Feng Yifan also lay down, holding his wife and daughter in his arms, enjoying this wonderful time as a family of three.
At this moment, Feng Yifan was really very happy, and felt that following was the life he really wanted. All other glory and fame were not as beautiful and happy as this moment.
Looking at his wife and daughter sleeping soundly in his arms, Feng Yifan was truly grateful for all this.
For him, protecting all of this is enough. As for those things from the previous life, he is willing to let go of them all.
Since he was going to compete, he would show his true strength, not just to convince Su Lanxin and Chen Wei.
More importantly, Feng Yifan also wants to convince old man Zhuang Daozhong.
Only in this way can he gain a firm foothold and truly stand out in the domestic culinary world. In the future, Su Ji can also develop into what Feng Yifan wants according to his vision.
After thinking about this, Feng Yifan yawned, hugged his wife and daughter tightly, and slowly fell asleep.
