YM778.TV Chapter 365 - The Gathering
"What happened to my cute sweet buddy? The Mi Er in the past would have been so happy if she heard that I am permitted to ride a car now. She would have been the one to propose to me to take her out on a ride but this particular Mi Er is so different. She treats me so coldly. If Mi Er, who loved me to no end, treats me like this, I wonder how badly sister Zi Er will treat me," Chen, now sitting inside his car, mumbled as he placed his hands on the steering wheel.
"Because of her attitude, I couldn\'t tell her that her beloved Grandpa is seriously sick and wants to see her and Sister Zi Er," Chen said sadly, as he sat down there to stabilize his emotions. He drove off after he successfully put his emotions in check.
The same day although Yang Zi still had a lot of work on her plate, she left the office early so she could go home and make preparations for her friend\'s visit. On reaching their mansion, she was surprised when she saw that everything was set and this was all thanks to Feng Shu who oversaw the smooth preparation of everything.
"Feng Shu, what would I have done without you?" Yang Zi remarked the moment she reached the dining room and realised that everything was set.
"Following the resumption of Mi Er in school, there is literally anything I do at the mansion when she is not around so I thought why not help out so that at least you will have little time to spare for yourself when you come back," Feng Shu said, as she dropped the last dish on the long dining table.
"And also Mi Er and the other maids did an awesome job. The job wouldn\'t have been completed so quickly without them," Feng Shu said as she walked towards Yang Zi who was standing close to the entrance.
"You are being too humble," Yang Zi said as she let her gaze move from one dish to the other. Just then, Mi Er entered the dining room. Yang Zi chuckled when she saw the hat little Mi Er was wearing an apron.
"Wow, mum is back," Yang Mi said as she instantly jumped onto Yang Zi\'s body. Yang Zi quickly carried her properly so she wouldn\'t fall off.
"Our little chef smells so delicious. Even without being told, I can tell that you worked very hard," Yang Zi teased as she cleaned the sweat off Yang Mi\'s face.
"Of course, I did," Yang Mi remarked as she smiled proudly.
"And in the process of working hard, how many dishes did you break and how many ingredients did you ruin?" Yang Zi asked. Yang Mi\'s smile slowly faded away when she heard Yang Zi\'s question. Seeing how quiet Yang Mi became, Feng Shu, chuckled.
"Aunty Feng Shu, how many dishes did I destroy today?" Yang Mi asked as she scratched her hair.
"Feng Shu, how many times did I tell you that Mi Er is prohibited from entering the kitchen? She is gonna destroy every utensil in the kitchen if this continues," Yang Zi said as she faked a displeased expression.
"Zi Er, you are talking as if you don\'t know how stubborn our little young Miss is. She wanted to do everything and nobody could stop her. Even when Nanny did not retire, she couldn\'t control our naughty Mi Er not to mention, me. In this mansion, only you can control Mi Er," Feng Shu said playfully.
"Aunty Feng Shu, Mi Er is a very obedient girl...,"
"Really? If you were so obedient then why were you in the kitchen?" Yang Zi asked as she threw a suspicious glance at Yang Mi.
"No... I... I went there to help out and I also want to learn how to cook just like you. I don\'t want to be a spoiled little princess but I want to be a hardworking princess just like you," Yang Mi said beaming.
"You sure have a way to escape punishment but know that your sweet words won\'t always save you each time," Yang Zi said, as she pulled Yang Mi\'s cheeks playfully.
"Feng Shu, let\'s freshen up. I am sure they will arrive any time soon," Yang Zi said before she left the dining room with Yang Mi still clinging onto her tightly.
Yang Zi, Feng Shu and Yang Mi all went to freshen up for the arrival of their guest.
A few minutes after they came downstairs after freshening up, their guest arrived. They spent over ten minutes exchanging pleasantries. Xiaofei, who hadn\'t been able to meet Yang Zi since the day of the launch, was very happy to see her from up close. Everyone present was happy to see Yang Zi but the happiest of them all was Xiaotian. After the exchange of pleasantries, they all went to the dining room for dinner. With the two children around, the dining table was so lively. The two of them could not stop talking. Everyone was so happy to finally gather again after such a long time.
Despite Xiaofei\'s previous warnings, Xiaotian could not hide her excitement to finally see Yang Zi.
Qing Shui and Xiaofei were so relieved when Yang Zi did not scold or get upset with the teenage girl.
"Xiaotian, go and play with Mi Er upstairs," Xiaofei ordered sternly as he stared at the girl who was clinging onto Yang Zi\'s left hand tightly.
"Stop being a spoiled brat and head upstairs. I will have mum punish you if you continue acting stubborn," Xiaofei threatened firmly when Xiaotian refused to obey him.
"Xiaofei, be more gentle, she is a little girl after all," Yang Zi sided with Xiaotian who smiled brightly the moment Yang Zi defended her.
"She is no little girl, is eighteen years old, so how could she still be considered a child? She will continue acting stubborn if you indulge her so let me scold her," Xiaofei said as he threw a piercing glance at the smiling girl.
