Chapter 101 You Are Not Worthy of Shaking Hands with Me

Over half an hour had passed, and finally, under the bustling management of Li Dazhu with his rough voice, the dishes were served.

Wang Shufen did not make many dishes.

In fact, in Wang Shufen's hands, there was no surplus money to buy other ingredients.

There were six dishes in total: stir-fried green peppers with shredded potatoes, beer-braised carp, spicy stir-fried green beans, a roasted duck, wild greens with dipping sauce, and finally, steamed egg custard.

Looking at these dishes, Ye Ling was somewhat stunned.

Logically, if it were just Li Dazhu and himself, it would have been fine, but Shen Yuexin was also present.

These dishes hardly seemed fit for serving guests.

Ye Ling could deeply understand the kind of life his mother was living.

"Mom, come with me to Donghai," Ye Ling suddenly said.

Wang Shufen paused, then smiled, "Is my son doing well in Donghai? You haven't called me these past few days, and I've been wanting to know how you're doing over there."

"Mom, I've established myself in Donghai. From now on, you should come to Donghai, and I will definitely take good care of you," Ye Ling said.

Although she wasn't his birth mother, Ye Ling had no parents in his previous life. In this life, having merged with the memories of his predecessor, Ye Ling wanted to cherish this kinship.

"Alright, I don't have much to hold onto here anyway. I'll go with you, just don't think I'm a burden," Wang Shufen said affectionately.

"How could I?"

Ye Ling laughed heartily and turned to Shen Yuexin, "Our home conditions are limited, so please make do. However, my mom's cooking is very good, especially this beer-braised carp. Try it."

Shen Yuexin could see the difficulties Wang Shufen was facing, but that didn't make her dissatisfied. She promptly picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of fish.

"Mmm, delicious!"

After tasting it, Shen Yuexin sincerely praised the dish.

Her words were heartfelt; although the dishes were simple, the flavors were quite good.

Li Dazhu did not hold back either, eating voraciously like a pig.

Wang Shufen had been worried that Shen Yuexin might not be accustomed to eating these dishes, but seeing Yuexin's relentless appetite, she couldn't help feeling satisfied.

Her fondness for Shen Yuexin soared in her heart.

In truth, Shen Yuexin, accustomed to rich and sumptuous meals, found a refreshing taste in these homemade dishes.

After eating for a while, two people suddenly walked in through the door.

A man and a woman; the woman was about 165 centimeters tall, slender, and quite pretty, with her long hair tied up, giving her a distinctive air.

She wore a white shirt, through which one could glimpse the contrasting black bra underneath.

She was also wearing denim shorts that fully revealed her fair, long legs.

The man, however, was dressed in a simple Armani T-shirt, with a lean figure, pale complexion, and a gold watch on his wrist.

Upon seeing these two, Li Dazhu couldn't help but be startled, immediately turning his head to look at Ye Ling.

Wang Shufen clearly understood Li Dazhu's thoughts and, glancing at Ye Ling, she smiled at the woman, "It's Lixue, isn't it? Have you eaten? Come and have some food?"

"Auntie, we've already eaten," the woman replied, her eyes settling on Ye Ling.

Ye Ling chewed the food in his mouth nonchalantly, as if he hadn't noticed the woman.

That dismissive attitude seemed understandable to Qiao Lixue, but the man beside her began to look upset.

"Is that Ye Ling?" the man asked Qiao Lixue, his voice laced with undisguised provocation.

Qiao Lixue nodded slightly and said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

Ye Ling glanced at Qiao Lixue and replied indifferently, "Hmm, long time no see."

"Are you... doing okay?" Qiao Lixue hesitantly asked.

"Okay?"

Ye Ling suddenly laughed, "Do you hope I'm not doing well, or do you think I'm not okay now?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Qiao Lixue could speak, the man said, "Lixue is kindly asking about you, and this is the tone you take?"

"What does my tone have to do with you? Did I speak to you?" Ye Ling frowned slightly.

"Hmph, no wonder Lixue dumped you back then. A guy like you who doesn't strive for better things can't provide her a beautiful future," the man scoffed.

Qiao Lixue quickly said, "Chen Bai, don't say that."

"This must be your boyfriend, right?"

Ye Ling took a sip of water and stood up.

"Let me see. Dressed with such a nouveau riche vibe, are you a big boss? Or a second-generation rich kid?"

"Ye Ling, let me introduce you. This is my... my boyfriend, Chen Bai."

After introducing Chen Bai, Qiao Lixue turned to him and said, "This is Ye Ling, and that's Li Dazhu; that one is Ye Ling's mother, and as for her…"

Her gaze fell on Shen Yuexin.

Even though Shen Yuexin was just sitting on an old chair, the brilliance she radiated was undeniable, as if, even if heaven and earth were to be destroyed, she would still be so beautiful.

Compared to Shen Yuexin, Qiao Lixue felt a sense of shame.

As Qiao Lixue sized up Shen Yuexin, Chen Bai's gaze also rested unabashedly upon her, his eyes flickering with a strange light.

With Shen Yuexin's savvy, how could she fail to see the situation for what it was?

Furthermore, Chen Bai had mentioned earlier that Qiao Lixue had dumped Ye Ling. Their visit today was clearly to show off.

Especially Qiao Lixue—if she really felt guilty, why would she bring her boyfriend here?

Taking a delicate sip of water, Shen Yuexin stood up, extended her delicate hand towards Qiao Lixue, and said, "Hello, I am Ye Ling's girlfriend, Shen Yuexin."

Qiao Lixue was startled and looked at Ye Ling in confusion.

Ye Ling was also puzzled. What was the big CEO Shen doing?

However, Ye Ling caught on quickly and immediately smiled, saying, "Right, this is my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend is very pretty."

Qiao Lixue said softly.

Anyone could hear the jealousy and envy in her words.

"She is very pretty. I actually have to thank you—if we were still together, I couldn't have found such a beautiful girlfriend," Ye Ling said coolly.

"Cough cough!"

At that moment, Chen Bai coughed lightly and extended his hand toward Shen Yuexin, pretending to be very gentlemanly, "Miss, hello, I am Chen Bai, the General Manager of Tian Nan Limited Company."

Seeing this, Qiao Lixue's brow furrowed, but considering her own situation, she sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

Ye Ling, on the other hand, gave Chen Bai a glance, a cold smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

As for the person involved, Shen Yuexin, after staring at the hand Chen Bai extended for a while, finally uttered a sentence.

"You are not yet qualified to shake hands with me."
