The elders of the Li family were not present, so that the young people could be more comfortable, while Chen Lei and Mrs. Xu were cooking in the kitchen. Chen Lei rarely cooked, but today, she was personally preparing a meal for her guests since she was in a good mood.
"Mrs. Xu, please chop the green peppers, I will use them later," Chen Lei asked Mrs. Xu while pointing at the uncut green peppers.
"Of course, they are all fortunate today now that the madam is cooking," Mrs. Xu declared with a good-natured laugh.
"I'm just cooking because I'm free and we have guests today. You're making it seem like a bigger deal than it is," Chen Lei replied modestly, laughing herself.
"Madam, you're too humble; your cooking skill is unanimously acknowledged as excellent by the family," Mrs. Xu praised as she handed the chopped green peppers to Chen Lei.
