Lin Yan's words caused the slight improvement in the complexions of Yu Ting's parents to shift subtly once again.
Both husband and wife knew that Lu Nanchen was a school teacher.
Beside, what she said was also true; there was no need to splurge such a large sum of money on a chef.
Oh well.
Smack.
Having just tidied up the kitchen, Yu Ting heard the sound and tossed the cloth in her hand onto the table. Then, with an expressionless face, she carried out three sets of bowls and chopsticks. One set she kept for herself, while the other two she handed to her parents.
"I didn't hire a chef. I made all of these dishes myself. I heard that you would be coming, so I personally made a full table of dishes."
As Yu Ting set the table, she spoke without sparing much of a glance at Lin Yan, treating her as if she didn't exist.
How can she pretend to be such a close friend with that attitude?
Calling out "Brother Nanchen" all the time...
"Nanchen is tired from teaching every day. No matter how good a chef, it's safer and healthier to cook by myself. How could I have thought about hiring a chef?" Having set the table, Yu Ting sat down next to her dad, right across from Lin Yan.
With that said, it seemed as though Lin Yan had become a bit insidious.
"I was just"
"Dad, Mom, let's start eating. It won't taste good when the dishes get cold." Yu Ting cut off Lin Yan's explanation, picked up her chopsticks, and served her parents a piece of fish each. "Try this, it can enhance immunity and provide calcium and zinc."
"Oh, by the way, we only have three sets of bowls and chopsticks in the house. Yanyan, you will have to find somewhere else to take your meal."
?
Yu Ting's harsh words stunned the three people sitting at the table.
Asking someone to leave during a meal is pretty bad manners.
The one most startled by this was Lin Yan. She didn't understand Yu Ting's strategy, and she froze in her chair, looking at the familiar yet unseemly woman with perplexity.
How could a person change so much overnight...
Last night, during the phone call, she had behaved in a totally different manner.
Dead silence spread among the four of them. Yu Ting looked calmly composed. Apart from serving her parents and herself, she chewed her food at a leisurely pace.
Lin Yan had no intention of leaving either. Her clenched fists rested on her thighs as her gaze kept shifting between the kitchen and Yu Ting.
How can it be possible.
How can there only be three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
She's doing it on purpose!
"I'm really sorry, we've only just set up our marital house, and it slipped my mind. I thought about buying two pairs for me and Nanchen, and a spare one for our future child, so I bought only three pairs. My apologies." Only then did she turn her gaze to Lin Yan. Yu Ting gave a warm smile, but her elongating eyes that were supposedly laughing appeared a bit dangerous.
When she mentioned Nanchen and their child, a visible tenderness flashed across Yu Ting's face. Lin Yan felt uncomfortable all over, she stared at Yu Ting intently, trying to figure out what game she was playing.
After speaking, Yu Ting turned her gaze away.
Pretending to be my close friend is fake, aiming for my husband is the real deal.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Ting's eyes somehow grew colder.
Everything about Lin Yan, whether it was her appearance, the way she talked, or her actions, made Yu Ting feel uncomfortable.
Constantly belittling me.
Yu Ting's parents looked at Yu Ting and then at Lin Yan, quickly understanding Yu Ting's intention.
She was indeed driving Lin Yan out.
All they could say was that Lin Yan's efforts had not been in vain over the past few days. Looking at the well-mannered and gentle Lin Yan, then at his daughter, who a few days ago was dressed eccentrically, spoke nonsense, and argued with him, her dad felt this situation was awkward.
"What does it look like, asking someone to leave while we are eating?"
Seeing that her dad defended her, Lin Yan didn't care about being angry anymore. Her whole person seemed somewhat deflated, head hanging low, giving off a pitiful vibe.
