Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 439 The Disliked Cook

This was the time when Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen broke up. After Lu Xingchen simply bought a house and moved out of Guangyue Zuncheng, he came to her house for the first time.

The difference from living with him before was that this home was more popular, and because of the little kid Ethan Lu, the home was filled with many vivid objects, as well as children’s toys and books.

And his position in her family was obviously different from before. In the eyes of Xu Fanghua and Aunt Zhang, he used to be a good son-in-law and a prospective son-in-law. Now, after dumping their daughter and being with the daughter of the Feng family, he appeared in her life again as a heartless man.

So, when he entered the kitchen, Aunt Zhang just came over and said symbolically that she would cook. He said no, he promised Ethan Lu and Xingchen to cook for them, and then Aunt Zhang just looked at him with contempt and left the kitchen.

Chu Zeyan is just the opposite of him, because after he abandoned Lu Xingchen, it was Chu Zeyan who risked his life to save Lu Xingchen. Naturally, he became the benefactor, guest of honor, and even a candidate for Lu Xingchen's new boyfriend in this family.

These things made Li Zhen feel aggrieved, but... it was all his own fault.

So he worked in the kitchen like a cook without complaint, cooking dishes that he knew everyone in the family liked, including the new member Ethan Lu’s, in order to regain a little bit of everyone’s good impression of him.

However, it did not.

They were all chatting with Chu Zeyan, and Chu Zeyan was obviously more capable than him. He made the elders laugh continuously, and even Lu Xingchen, who was accompanying them, laughed from time to time.

Except for Ethan Lu, no one in the whole house went into the kitchen to talk to him, the cook.

Of course, it would be better if Ethan Lu didn’t come in, because as soon as he came, he said to him, “Uncle, you don’t seem to be as popular as the uncle surnamed Chu.”

Li Zhen could only say to him: "Thank you for not calling Chu brother."

Ethan Lu tilted his head and thought about it, then said, “But maybe I’ll have to change my name to call him brother-in-law.”

Li Zhen was so shocked by his words that he almost shoveled the braised spareribs out of the pot.

Seeing this, the brat continued to rub salt into his heart, "Aunt and Aunt Zhang seem to like Uncle Chu very much, especially Aunt Zhang. She even asked Uncle Chu if he has a girlfriend and what kind of person he wants to find..."

"That's about it." What kind of information did this kid provide him? Without makeup, Li Zhen handed him a dish on the table, "Can you help me bring it to the table in the restaurant?"

“Of course.” Ethan Lu walked out of the kitchen with a plate.

Li Zhen also brought out the braised spareribs that had just come out of the pot.

Seeing that he had been busy for a long time, Xu Fanghua hurriedly stood up and walked over to say, "Li Zhen, there are enough dishes to eat, so stop working."

Li Zhen replied: "There are two more dishes. You can eat after a while."

Xu Fanghua said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry that you come to our place to cook when you are so busy."

"It's okay." Li Zhen said this and looked at Lu Xingchen in the living room. She had her back to the kitchen and was watching Aunt Zhang talking to Chu Zeyan, and she didn't look over here.

Xu Fanghua caught his gaze and smiled awkwardly, "How about I ask Xingchen to come over and help you?"

"No need." Li Zhen nodded slightly, turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Although there was no need to be so pretentious, when Li Zhen entered the kitchen he suddenly thought of Deng Peiling who had come to his house as a "guest" before.

This is what Li Shu told him later. Deng Peiling wanted to win the favor of him and his mother, and to present herself as half a member of the family in front of Lu Xingchen, so she helped out in the kitchen, and ended up becoming a nanny.

Even though Li Shu said that at the time, Li Zhen didn't feel anything. Now that he suddenly thought about it, he suddenly felt that the only difference between him and Deng Peiling at that time was gender.

Ten minutes later, all the dishes were on the table, and Ethan Lu, under Li Zhen’s instructions, called everyone over to eat.

Seven people sat around the table and thanked Li Zhen politely. However, the seat next to Lu Xingchen was previously reserved for him, but now Aunt Zhang enthusiastically arranged Chu Zeyan there.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment because of this and looked at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen just glanced at him and said nothing, only asked Chu Zeyan to take a seat.

Li Zhen could only step aside.

Want to ask him if he feels bad?

Uncomfortable.

He had wanted Chu Zeyan to give up and even invited him to dinner, but he didn't expect that he would be shooting himself in the foot. Chu Zeyan had already given him a warning without even using his own strength.

In fact, it doesn't matter what other people's attitudes are, the main thing is Lu Xingchen...

Li Zhen took off his apron and sat down next to Lu Xingchen, separated from Chu Zeyan and Zhang Ma.

Xu Fanghua knew that Sister Zhang was defending Lu Xingchen, and she felt angry and amused. She picked up her chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the table in amazement:

"Hey Li Zhen, you cooked a table full of dishes that we like. This is what Sister Zhang likes, this is what I like, and these two are what Xingchen likes. Not only do you cook well, but you also really put a lot of thought into it."

Aunt Zhang took a look and asked about the dishes Xu Fanghua didn't order. With a silly smile on her face, she asked Li Zhen sarcastically, "Who likes these dishes? Could it be the taste of the young lady from the Feng family?"

Lu Xingchen had already picked up the chopsticks, but he was hesitant to pick up the food after hearing this. Aunt Zhang was really righteous and chivalrous. She could even sense Li Zhen's embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ethan Lu spoke up to help Li Zhen out: “This is what Grandma Chen and I like to eat. Wow, this looks delicious. Can I start eating now?”

Xu Fanghua: "Of course, everyone please eat."

I thought the topic would pass, but Aunt Zhang didn't approve of Li Zhen's cooking. She asked him with a fake smile, "Does Mr. Li often cook like this when he's at the Feng family?"

Lu Xingchen occasionally liked to bring up old things and ridicule Li Zhen, but he really couldn't do it and embarrass him in public like Aunt Zhang did.

This is probably because the love is so deep that the hatred is so strong. Aunt Zhang used to look forward to her and Li Zhen getting married. She was more anxious than her mother, fearing that such a good "son-in-law" would be snatched away by someone else if she was not careful.

When she broke up with Li Zhen, Aunt Zhang's ideological work was obviously more difficult than her mother's. Her mother also said that Aunt Zhang had privately met with Li Zhen and cried to persuade him that he should not do that, but in the end Li Zhen still did that.

Therefore, it is no wonder that she is so hostile towards Li Zhen now.

Lu Xingchen glanced at Li Zhen's reaction without leaving a trace.
