Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The next night.

A steady stream of cars were parked in front of Su Yu's new house.

The people who got out of the car all had smiles on their faces and were carrying gifts. The first to arrive was Han Yue, who drove a tall and handsome SUV, chewing gum, with his hands in his pockets, and walked straight into the living room as if he were entering his own home.

Han Yue stood at the door and glanced at the entire villa's decor. After a moment, he nodded and leisurely sat down on the sofa.

When Han Guoguo came downstairs, she saw Han Yue sitting leisurely on the sofa, playing with his phone. She happily ran over and sat down next to him. "As expected of my brother, he knew you missed me. He was the first one here."

Han Yue put his phone back in his pocket, opened his large palm, picked up the balloon at his feet, and twirled it in his hand. "Did you decorate the whole house?"

"No, no, no, Su Yu wouldn't let me do so much work. He dragged Lu Jinnan into decorating all of this, which really annoyed Lu Jinnan. He kept complaining that it wasn't his new house, so why did he have to be dragged into it?" Han Guoguo raised her index finger and waved it in the air to indicate that it wasn't.

However, Su Yu acted as if he hadn't heard Lu Jinnan's complaints yesterday and told him to continue working.

Han Yue was satisfied with what his younger sister said. Su Yu was quite sensible. As they were talking, Su Yu, Lu Jinnan, and Su Xue walked in from outside.

"Oh my, you're here so early. Are you here to scout out your sister's future living environment?"

This was Su Xue's first time visiting the villa. Yesterday, her brother had only mentioned borrowing Lu Jinnan for a day without saying anything else. After Lu Jinnan left, Su Xue learned that her brother had bought a villa two houses down from the next one. She was determined to come and see it, but Su Yu refused.

Su Xue cursed Su Yu for a long time, calling him heartless, and ranted on and on, using every word she could think of.

He almost got beaten up by Su Yu, but in the end, he still didn't achieve his goal.

Su Xue looked at her with the curious expression of a child, clicking her tongue for a while, even more sour than a lemon, and said in a sarcastic tone, "My brother is so thoughtful."

My lips may ache with bitterness, but deep down I'm genuinely happy.

Unaware that the background of the decorations was decided by Han Guoguo and Su Yu long ago, Su Xue thought it was designed by Lu Jinnan and thought she had discovered another shining point in Lu Jinnan.

In fact, Lu Jinnan can design blueprints. After all, he sells houses. How could he not understand blueprints and layouts? He just never mentions company matters to Su Xue, mainly because Su Xue has no interest in listening to company matters.

"Come on, let's go prepare the things we'll need later. Your brother said we don't need the nanny's help. We're all family here, so it'll feel more like home and a housewarming atmosphere if we prepare it ourselves. I like this authentic feeling."

Guoguo also likes to cook for herself. Besides, it's not like we're having a big banquet. She can handle a simple meal without needing a servant. Su's mother offered to help with the cooking, but Su Yu and Guoguo declined, telling them to just come over and eat at mealtimes.

In the end, the Su couple politely declined, actually wanting to give the young people space. Guoguo had already moved in, and this new home was Su Yu and Guoguo's little home. They invited their close friends to visit and have a meal. The Su couple decided to stay home and help take care of the baby without disturbing them.

With elders around, the younger generation feels restricted and even their conversations are controlled. Su's mother is already very satisfied, as there will be many more days to eat with Guoguo in the future.

Seeing Guoguo walk towards the kitchen, Su Yu turned around to follow her, but Guoguo stopped him by pushing against his chest. "Why don't you chat with my brother and the others for a while? I'll show you a skill today."

Meeting Su Yu's worried gaze, Han Guoguo, without moving an inch, nudged him again and continued, "Go on, go on, don't worry, it's no big deal. It's just a table of dishes. I can prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you, believe it or not."

Su Yu, who wanted to go in, was pushed out by Guo Guo, and the kitchen door was closed. Su Yu looked at Han Yue with concern and a bit of helplessness.

Seeing this, Han Yue crossed his legs, tossed the orange in his hand into the air and caught it, then tossed it into the air again and caught it. He glanced at the closed kitchen door and his busy sister and the dull-witted Su Xue helping out inside, and said, "Let her do whatever she wants. If you can't get it, just order takeout."

Su Yu followed the gaze and looked at the kitchen again, nodding helplessly.

Lu Jinnan was puzzled. Su Xue couldn't cook, would she be able to go in? Could Guo Guo cook? Would they be able to eat today?

A multitude of questions swirled in my mind.

"Don't worry, my sister can cook. Even if you starve to death, she won't." Han Yue said this to Lu Jinnan, who was still searching for answers. Seeing the distrust on his face, Han Yue spoke smugly.

Guoguo is not useless; she can support herself without any problem.

"I know your sister is good..." Before he could finish speaking, three people walked in through the door, holding hands and carrying a little guy in his arms wearing denim overalls, a black cardigan over a white shirt like his father's.

"You're late? Do you think you're the grand finale on the red carpet?" Han Yue teased.

Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao were dressed very casually today, just like they were attending a friend's housewarming party.

A white shirt, a black trench coat, and casual trousers were worn by Xiaoyouzi, while Tang Junyao wore a tracksuit. Xiaoyouzi stood out the most.

Lu Jinnan was as flamboyant as ever, wearing an orange hoodie, white pants, and painted sneakers, while Han Yue was much simpler, wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans.

Su Yu was dressed the same as Ji Hancheng, in a beige shirt and casual trousers, but with the addition of a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which gave him a more refined look.

"Brother Su Yu, congratulations on your marriage and housewarming." With that, Tang Junyao handed over the gifts in her hand: a bottle of expensive red wine prepared by Ji Hancheng, and a red envelope.

Su Yu and Guo Guo didn't plan to hold their wedding in the capital, and Ji Hancheng, being generous and cheerful, was especially willing to give a monetary gift.

Su Yu politely accepted the thanks, saying, "You've gone to so much trouble. I'll accept the gift, but please don't bother with the red envelope."

Ji Hancheng put his son down from his arms, put his arm around Tang Junyao's shoulder, and said generously, "It's just a small token. I didn't intend to give you all my possessions as a blessing. Congratulations on finding a partner."

Tang Junyao smiled and said, "Brother Su Yu, please accept it. It's a small token of our appreciation from Hancheng and me."

"Okay, thank you. Guoguo is in the kitchen. You two have a seat for a while."

Upon hearing that Guoguo was in the kitchen, Tang Junyao looked in that direction and immediately saw Su Xue frantically trying to do something. She frowned, having a bad feeling. "I'll go check on him. Hancheng, you watch over our son."

"Go ahead, I'll be watching."

After getting down from Ji Hancheng's arms, Xiaoyouzi kept looking for Xiaocaomei, but she didn't say anything and just played with her balloons and toys on the table without any interest.

Seeing that his son wasn't very excited, Ji Hancheng sat down next to Lu Jinnan and nudged Lu Jinnan's leg with his knee. "Where's your daughter? Bring her over and play with her for a while. You don't need to be so wary of my son. Look at Han Yue, he treated him like a thief, but he still couldn't keep him at bay."

Hearing this, Han Yue wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed, leaning back on the sofa with his arms outstretched and a slight smile playing on his lips. He was completely at ease now, having both a son and a daughter. "Keep showing off, you're floating in outer space."

Lu Jinnan: "............" Damn it, I knew Ji Hancheng was just fantasizing about Yueyue becoming his daughter-in-law.

Su Yu understood what Ji Hancheng meant and didn't care. After all, Guoguo was his wife, and as Ji Hancheng said, feelings are something you can't prevent.

She got up, preparing to leave, "I'll go get Yueyue."

Ji Hancheng spoke politely, a slight smile playing on his lips. He was finding Su Yu more and more pleasing to the eye now. "Thanks."

Lu Jinnan wanted to say, whose daughter is she? Did he get her permission? He's the father, okay?

Tang Junyao walked into the kitchen and saw Su Xue wiping her hands after washing a single vegetable leaf, then wiping them again after washing another. She leaned against the doorway with her arms crossed. "Big sister, save water. If you really don't like getting your hands wet, wear gloves. Your apron is soaked with water."

Those who knew her would think she was washing vegetables, but those who didn't would think she was washing aprons in the kitchen.

Seeing her best friend come in, Su Xue sighed helplessly. She couldn't cook. "Be grateful, at least I can wash some vegetables."

"Damn, Yao Yao, why is your size several sizes bigger?" Su Xue said, preparing to reach out, but Tang Junyao slapped her hand away.

Han Guoguo stood to one side preparing ingredients, laughing heartily, "Isn't this a second growth spurt? You've grown up too, so why are you small?"

Su Xue shook her head. "But Yao Yao is several sizes bigger. No wonder I have so little breast milk. It's true what they say, there's no harm without comparison. Sigh."

Tang Junyao slapped her best friend's butt hard, then went to wash her hands. Su Xue rubbed her trembling butt and said, "Damn, you're smearing oil."

"What do you need to do? I'll help you." Tang Junyao grabbed an apron from the side and put it on, then instructed Su Xue, "You've done your performance. You don't need to take up any space in the kitchen anymore. Your task today is to serve the dishes."

Upon hearing that she didn't need to be in the kitchen, Su Xue quickly took off her apron, washed her hands, and dried herself with a tissue.

Han Guoguo was speechless at Su Xue's quick movements.

Han Guoguo smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, why don't you prepare some fruit for the living room?"

"OK."

While arranging the fruit, Su Xue said to Tang Junyao, "You should have said so earlier. I felt bad leaving Guoguo alone in the kitchen. If you had come earlier, would I have had to use my weaknesses? Alright, you two have the fun. I'll go deliver the fruit. Call me if you need anything."

"You can't cook, yet you blame me for being late. If you had even the will to pick up a spatula, you would have been able to eat."

Su Xue was relieved of the kitchen duties. As long as she didn't do any kitchen work, she could help fetch things in and out. She really couldn't cook, and besides, she was incompatible with the kitchen.

When she first married into the Lu family, she felt a little embarrassed seeing Lu's mother going in and out of the kitchen every day. So she downloaded an app on her phone that taught people how to cook and mustered up the courage to cook a meal for everyone. She found the videos to be incredibly easy.

When Su Xue thought about her outburst at Lu Jiaqian, she couldn't help but lean against the bar and share it with Tang Junyao and Han Guoguo, while also explaining, "It's not that I didn't want to help, I was just afraid of knocking you all out."

In a second, Tang Junyao grasped the key point, "You cooked? When?"

As expected of her best friend, Yao Yao picked up on the key point from just a simple sentence: "You're right. A while ago, I cooked a meal for my in-laws at the Lu family's house, which caused them to have diarrhea for several days. Then the whole family ate plain porridge for a week."

Han Guoguo stopped what she was doing in surprise and asked, "You drugged me?"

If they weren't drugged, how could they have all been knocked out?

Su Xue quickly waved her hand, "How could that be? I'm also very frustrated. I followed the video on my phone, and it looked pretty simple. It's just adding a little salt and sugar, scooping a spoonful here and a spoonful there, stirring it a few times, and that's it. The color of mine is pretty good. I still don't understand why they got diarrhea. Maybe they couldn't stand my cooking skills."

From then on, the entire Lu family was haunted by this. Whenever Su Xue entered the kitchen, the whole family would ask her what she was doing.

As long as it's not cooking, it's fine. If they cook and don't eat, the Lu couple will feel very disrespectful and hurt their daughter-in-law's feelings. But if they eat, they're afraid they'll get diarrhea.

At this moment, Guoguo and Yaoyao were eager to solve the case. Yaoyao raised a question first, while her hands were skillfully making cuts on the fish. Guoguo was preparing to braise pork ribs in another pot.

Tang Junyao: "Miss, what did you burn to make your whole family fast and chant Buddhist scriptures for a week?"

Su Xue began to recall, "Let me think... I think I cooked a fish, steamed eggs with meat, and a corn and pork rib soup..."

"That's about it. My skills are limited, so I chose the simplest method."

Tang Junyao: "Did you not cook the fish long enough, and did you not simmer the pork rib soup long enough?"

"It should be about right. The time wasn't too long or too short, it was alright. Oh well, I'm never cooking again anyway. This thing is too difficult, it's not as easy as delivering a baby."

Su Xue had absolutely no desire to cook anymore. She felt utterly defeated; it was too discouraging. Not only was the food terrible, but it was also incredibly awful. It looked easy to make, but she was completely lost as soon as she tried, almost like she was poisoning someone.

Han Guoguo kept her mouth slightly open, laughing uncontrollably. She and Yao Yao could basically conclude that the seafood and meat were not fully cooked.

Older people, or those with weaker digestive systems, are very sensitive to these undercooked or undercooked foods.

The three of them huddled together in the kitchen, laughing heartily, creating an exceptionally pleasant atmosphere.

They all forgot to go out and deliver the fruit.
