When Su Liancheng drove to the school in the small town, to his surprise, Pei Caiyun was already waiting for him at the school gate.
After getting out of the car, Su Liancheng looked at Pei Caiyun and asked, "Aunt Caiyun, my mother?"
Pei Caiyun waved her hand: "Your mother knew that you would definitely come, so she asked me to wait for you here and tell you that she would not go. She felt that she had no face to see her brother, and she did not want to sit with your father for dinner."
Su Liancheng quickly said, "Aunt Caiyun, would you like me to meet my mother?"
Pei Caiyun shook her head: "No, your mother doesn't want to see anyone now."
Su Liancheng felt a little helpless and could only say, "But this time, it was my uncle who asked me to pick up my mother."
Pei Caiyun said: "Your mother knows, your mother knows that your uncle asked you to pick her up, and she also knows that your uncle has forgiven her, but your mother herself is unwilling to forgive herself, so she doesn't want to go back, you should go back."
Having said that, Pei Caiyun took out three more letters.
"Here are three letters, one for you and Mei Ru, one for your uncle, and one for Feng Yifan. Take them back."
Su Liancheng really didn't expect such a result.
He originally thought that his mother had let go of everything. This time, he came to pick up his mother and let her and his uncle talk frankly, and all the grudges could be resolved with a smile.
But he never expected that his mother would actually refuse his uncle's invitation.
Pei Caiyun saw Su Liancheng standing at the door and was still reluctant to leave.
She could only say, "Lian Cheng, you should understand your mother. Now that the result has come to this, don't you want your mother to retain her last bit of pride?"
After hearing these words, Su Liancheng finally realized that he could not convince his mother.
But he still didn't give up, and said: "Aunt Caiyun, how about I call my uncle here? I should at least tell them, right?"
Pei Caiyun nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Su Liancheng took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Feng Yifan.
Feng Yifan, who was busy at work, received the call and was a little surprised by his aunt's response.
Feng Yifan never thought that his aunt would actually refuse the invitation.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Yifan called his father-in-law out alone and told him what happened. Then he handed his cell phone to his father-in-law, hoping that he could help persuade him.
After listening to Feng Yifan's narration, Su Jinrong looked at the mobile phone handed to him, but waved his hand.
"Forget it. Your aunt has her pride. We should still respect her last bit of pride. Let Lian Cheng come back first. I will call your aunt privately later to see if she is willing to answer."
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Feng Yifan hesitated and asked, "Dad, is this really okay?"
Su Jinrong said: "Okay, go ahead, I'll make the call."
Feng Yifan had no choice but to tell his brother-in-law about his father-in-law's decision, and asked him to drive away first, but not to come back directly, but to wait in the town.
When Su Liancheng heard the news, he also agreed: "Okay, I understand."
Pei Caiyun saw Su Liancheng hang up the phone, and then came over and said that he would not leave yet, and would wait in the town until tomorrow morning before going back.
Pei Caiyun was also a little surprised. She originally thought that Su Liancheng would let his mother answer the phone.
Su Liancheng looked at the expression on Pei Caiyun's face and could only say, "My uncle called my mother directly."
Pei Caiyun understood, nodded and said, "Okay, you stay in town for the night, do you want me to arrange a place for you to stay?"
Su Liancheng smiled and said, "You're welcome, Aunt Caiyun. I'll just live in the ancestral house."
Pei Caiyun said, "Well, that's fine. Your mother will go there every few days to clean it up. It's very clean, but it's a bit cold in the mountains at night. Remember to take out the quilt and cover yourself with it."
Su Liancheng agreed, turned around and got into the car, driving away from the school.
Su Lanxin, who had been hiding in the school, soon received a call from Su Jinrong.
She hesitated for a long time holding the phone, but finally answered the call.
Before Su Jinrong could speak, Su Lanxin said, "Don't act like a winner and pity me here. Don't try to persuade me. I won't go. No matter how outstanding your son-in-law is, I won't go."
Su Jinrong seemed to have anticipated that his sister would interrupt him, and even anticipated what she might say
After hearing Su Lanxin's words, Su Jinrong couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone.
Hearing the laughter from the other end of the phone, Su Lanxin became even more angry.
"Laugh, it's funny, isn't it? That's right, you are the final winner now, and I am the loser. I was rebellious at the beginning, and even dragged my father's apprentices to betray him. Later, I came back and forced you to hand over the old plaque, which caused you to have a stroke.
So I am a bad person, and now I am getting what I deserve. I don’t need you to pity me.”
After listening to his sister, Su Jinrong stopped smiling and did not speak in a serious tone. Instead, he started chatting with her like a friend.
"It is impossible to say that I have never hated you. The first time I hated you was when you took the brothers away from Su Ji. It was when my father passed away and I needed someone to support Su Ji. I felt that it was you who prevented me from pursuing my ideals. I hated you.
The second time I hated you was when you came back arrogantly, showing off at Su Ji, and even yelled that I didn't deserve the old plaque, that my incompetence had brought the old plaque to dust, and that I should hand it over so that you could restore its former glory."
At this point, Su Jinrong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Later, I couldn't cook anymore and had to sit in a wheelchair every day. I sat in the wheelchair and thought about it carefully, and found that what you said seemed to be right."
Su Lanxin was also a little surprised when she heard this on the phone, but she remained silent.
Su Jinrong continued, "I really didn't recognize myself. I was just like what you said. I didn't have the ability to restore the old plaque's glory. I suddenly felt that I should thank you. It was you who came back and helped me recognize myself."
Su Lanxin couldn't help but say after hearing this: "Don't come on, if you hate me, then you hate me, don't be so hypocritical."
Su Jinrong laughed: "Hahaha, this is my sister, the Su Lanxin who never admits defeat."
Su Lanxin added: "It's useless for you to say this. I won't go."
Su Jinrong said: "I know, I didn't try to persuade you to come."
Su Lanxin fell silent on the other end of the phone, and Su Jinrong continued, "I'm calling you not to persuade you to come over, I just want to talk to you.
You know what? Now that I see Yifan, I finally understand what a true genius is. It turns out that there are other people in this world who can surpass our fathers. Their innate creativity is a gap that we cannot make up for. "
Su Jinrong suddenly asked: "I think there should be someone in your group company who specializes in designing dishes, right?"
Su Lanxin was stunned for a moment and responded: "Yes, Chen Wei has done it before, but later we organized a team to brainstorm to design dishes, considering the taste, plating, nutritional combination and many other aspects, and finally designed a dish."
Su Jinrong said: "Yes, nowadays, top restaurants should be like this, there will be a group of professionals to do dish research and development.
But you know what? Yifan can complete the research and development of dishes by himself, and the young people he has found now all have such a dream. Yifan is with them, and I can see them show their talents with my own eyes. "
Su Lanxin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that the dishes in the western restaurant this time were designed by Feng Yifan?"
Su Jinrong replied: "Yes, some of the dishes have been adjusted to incorporate some of the designs of those young people he found."
As they chatted, the two started talking about the various dish designs of Feng Yifan's Western Restaurant.
Unconsciously, Su Lanxin's curiosity was aroused.
When chatting with Su Jinrong, Su Jinrong always exaggerated some dishes but did not explain them in detail, which naturally made Su Lanxin curious.
As she was talking, Su Lanxin couldn't help but wonder what those dishes looked like and what they tasted like.
Thinking of this, Su Lanxin's heart naturally began to waver.
Su Jinrong probably guessed that his sister must be moved, so he stopped talking at the right time.
“Yifan and his team really have the talent to become top chefs. Coupled with their respect for tradition, I believe Yifan will be better than anything we can do.”
After saying all this, Su Jinrong finally asked: "Are you still not coming now?"
Without waiting for Su Lanxin to answer, Su Jinrong said directly: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that something went wrong on Ruoxi's birthday before, so I didn't have a good birthday for Ruoxi. This time, Yifan plans to make up for it on the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
If you are coming, remember to prepare a gift for Ruoxi. After all, you are her aunt, so don't be too rude."
After saying this, Su Jinrong didn't give Su Lanxin any chance to speak again. He said directly: "Okay, I still have to be busy, so let's stop here."
Su Lanxin was about to say something when the call was disconnected.
Hearing the sound of the call being hung up, Su Lanxin fell into a daze.
After a long while, she came to her senses and was a little annoyed: "You hung up the phone? You just hung up like that? You really thought I would go, didn't you? Humph, I won't go."
At this moment, Su Lanxin looked like a little girl throwing a tantrum, even throwing her cell phone on the bed.
Not long after, Pei Caiyun came in from outside.
"What's wrong? It seems that Big Brother has convinced you."
Su Lanxin raised her head and looked at Pei Caiyun and said, "How is it possible? Su Jinrong has been tongue-tied for most of his life, how could he possibly convince me?"
Pei Caiyun laughed when she heard Su Lanxin's words: "Hahaha, you know that you are still as cute when you are young when you say one thing and mean another."
Su Lanxin glared at Pei Caiyun: "Why are you saying one thing and thinking another?"
Pei Caiyun said: "Actually, if you want to go, just go. After all, we are all relatives. You and Big Brother are siblings. There is no need to keep your relationship a secret."
Su Lanxin quickly said, "I don't want to have nothing to do with him forever."
Pei Caiyun said: "So, let's go if we have to. Let's go together."
Su Lanxin looked at Pei Caiyun, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go too?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "Yes, let's go and see what kind of food the son-in-law who is praised so highly by the eldest brother can make."
Su Lanxin said helplessly: "Okay, let's go."
Pei Caiyun thought for a moment and said, "By the way, can we bring Xiaohong and Xiaoxia with us?"
Su Lanxin immediately said, "Of course we have to take them with us. We definitely won't be able to come back on the same day we go. If we don't take them with us, who will cook for them after we all leave?"
Pei Caiyun asked: "Will it be bad?"
Su Lanxin said, "How could that be? Yifan also has children there. There are not only Yifan and Ruoxi's girls, but also many other children. Xiaohong and Xiaoxia can play with those children."
Pei Caiyun was still a little hesitant: "But, are those children willing to play with Xiaohong and Xiaoxia?"
Su Lanxin said: "Don't worry, Ruoruo will definitely be willing to play together."
Pei Caiyun asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"
Su Lanxin smiled confidently and said, "Because I know that Ruoruo's personality is like that, and I think that Ruoruo's personality is very similar to mine."
Pei Caiyun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tell Xiaohong and Xiaoxia."
Su Lanxin added: "Call Su Liancheng by the way and ask him to pick us up tomorrow morning."
Pei Caiyun turned around and asked, "Aren't we leaving now?"
Su Lanxin said, "It will be too late if we leave now. Let's leave tomorrow morning. Su Liancheng has a car and can take us with him."
Pei Caiyun nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way."
The Xiaohong and Xiaoxia mentioned by the two people are two boarding students in Pei Caiyun's school.
The two girls' families were not well off, and their homes were far from the school, so Pei Caiyun arranged for them to live in the school dormitory.
This also reduces the burden on the girl's family.
The families of the two girls simply left and went out to work.
So if Su Lanxin and Pei Caiyun both left, there would be no one in the school to cook for the two children, so they might as well take the two children with them.
Xiaohong is in the fifth grade, and Xiaoxia is younger and is in the third grade.
Su Liancheng drove back to the ancestral home. Just as he got out of the car and went into the house to tidy up, he received a call from Pei Caiyun.
"Really? Aunt Caiyun, is my mother willing to go?"
"Oh, you still have two children to take with you? Sure, sure. My car can accommodate them. Don't worry, I will make arrangements when I get there. I will make sure that the two children, you and my mom will have a good place to stay tonight. Okay, I will pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Su Liancheng was in a good mood and quickly called Feng Yifan to report the good news.
Feng Yifan hadn't told his father-in-law the news yet, but his father-in-law had already guessed the result.
"Your aunt is willing to come, right?"
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Dad, what did you say to aunt?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "It's a secret. Just come if you're willing."
Feng Yifan had no choice but to say, "Yes, as long as you are willing to come."
