Deceive Me, Marry Me Chapter 53

“Miss, you shouldn't be so laborious!” Looking at the pot, which was bigger than that of yesterday, the three people who were ordered to come by Sheng Shuihe had a gloomy feeling. Zheng Sen quickly grabbed the pot, hoping to smash it when seizing an opportunity. He pretended to care for her, “Are people in the kitchen wastes? Can't believe they made Miss cook again!”

Gongsun Xi said with a simper, “Yes! How honorable Miss Sheng is! We even felt flattered when Miss cooked for our chief yesterday. How can we trouble you again today?”

Sheng Weiqiao wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief and said happily, “I have planned to ask the cook to make it today. I could have just watched aside. Since you liked my soup, if I let the cook make it, you would be disappointed. Therefore, I got up early to make the soup! By the way, my dad also helped me!”

She felt a sense of accomplishment. Growing up, she had received many compliments, mostly because of her parents. Occasionally, some people spoke highly of her sincerely about her beautiful appearance and considerate character. n.o.body had ever praised her culinary skills in the past!

Now, Sheng Weiqiao didn't care about their ident.i.ty as pirates. She decided that she must not let them down!

“Eldest Master Sheng must be afraid that his daughter would kill us all, so he monitored her when she made soup?”

“If Eldest Master hadn't supervised her, could we see the sun of tomorrow?!”

Gongsun Xi thought in a trance. He exchanged looks with Zheng Sen and Xu Lianshan. They thought the same: were people in the kitchen all dead?!

Even if it were the first time for the Miss to cook, and her father, born out of a wealthy family, knew nothing about cooking, didn't they know that the fish should be killed before cooking and that salt and sugar should be added in an appropriate amount? With so many cooks in the kitchen, n.o.body had reminded them?!

However, Zheng Sen hadn't found a reasonable chance to smash the pot.

After Sheng Weiqiao left with an empty pot with satisfaction, the three people turned to Sheng Shuihe immediately, and said sadly, “Chief, if you did this again, we would have no choice but to leave without you….”

“If you dared to do that, I would catch you and then and make you drink the soup my sister cooks every day!” Sheng Shuihe said with no facial expressions. They were all stunned.

“Since I got injured, it is inconvenient for me to move. Couldn't you have a look in the kitchen? At least, you should let someone tell her that salt shouldn't be added in kilos!” Sheng Shuihe said with a sigh. He glanced at them with disappointment, “Are you looking forward to seeing her come with servants carrying the pot tomorrow?!”

Gongsun Xi and the other two suddenly understood what he meant and went away with a murderous look!

However, after Sheng Lanci threatened them, cooks in the kitchen came up with methods to cope with them and expressed the same: when Miss Sheng cooked in the kitchen, except for her father to provide help, n.o.body was allowed to watch there!

So, they had no chance to teach them some common knowledge about cooking!

No matter how Gongsun Xi and the other two people intimidated them, they still said so. They had to make a compromise and went to tell Sheng Weiqiao not to make soup.

If she still insisted on cooking, she should not send it to Sheng Shuihe!

The taste of the soup had left a deep impression on him. Since Sheng Shuihe was not here, feeling reckless, Gongsun Xi told her the truth, “Miss, we felt very honored that you could cook for us, rough servants! It is hard to tell the truth: you were born in a rich family, and there was no need for you to do such things in your whole life. Maybe, you really don't have the talent for cooking, and the soup you cooked tasted terrible! We tried very hard to eat that despite our feeling sick!”

When Gongsun Xi said this, Zheng Sen and Xu Lianshan kept pulling his sleeves. It wasn't that they reminded him to stop speaking, but they thought it too frank. If they annoyed the apple of her parents' eyes, both Sheng Lanci and Sheng Shuihe would definitely punish them!

Of course, she was stunned after hearing that, and then her eyes became red with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g. Seeing this, the three prepared mentally for her crying and running away to tell her father what happened.

But!

Who knew!

As Sheng Weiqiao wiped tears, she said thoughtfully. “Just relax! I am not a tender girl, and the women in the kitchen can do things from morning to night. I just cook a pot of soup every day, how come I feel exhausted?”

The three, “…???”

With a moved face, she continued, “I know that you are so kind that you spoke harshly about my soup to persuade me not to work too much in the kitchen. But I feel neither tired nor bored, and I am willing to make a pot of soup for you every day! My father also knew that, and he didn't stop me, so I was really okay!”

The three, “…!!!”

Zheng Sen and Xu Lianshan looked at Gongsun Xi at the same time, and their eyes indicated: continue!

No matter you were straightforward or said vicious words, as long as you could dispel her mind of cooking, we could accept any punishment, even being half-dead!!!

Gongsun Xi looked at them in despair: I was straightforward and said such harsh words just now. The Miss thought us considerate to say that. Will it make any sense if I continue?!

Sheng Weiqiao had no idea how miserable they were when leaving. At night, she felt satisfied and had a sound sleep. After all, in her view, they were very unfriendly to her and even disgusted her when she was on board.

After arriving on the island, their att.i.tudes had not changed a lot.

However, these days, because of her cooking skills, they were not only friendly to her but even worried about her health. They even pretended to be bad guys to stop her. Pa.s.sions did exist in every corner of the world!

Although their way of persuading people was unusual, Sheng Weiqiao thought it not strange. After all, they were pirates. It was impossible to expect them to be so courteous like those on the land under the control of the royal court.

Anyway, that was enough!

With good mood, Sheng Weiqiao got up early the next day and asked a chef to find the biggest pot to make soup!

Because she got up too early, Sheng Lan almost missed the chance to help her. Luckily, Eldest Master Sheng was well-informed, and before Sheng Weiqiao left, he smeared her daughter's dress with coals. When she changed clothes, he added some spices.

After seeing such a big pot, all people became silent.

Seeing Sheng Shuihe take over the bowl with hands trembling, Sheng Weiqiao blinked her big eyes with long eyelashes. She said, “When I was uncomfortable, my mother would make chicken soup for me! Brother, how did you feel after eating my soup these days?”

She had seen that Sheng Shuihe shoot three arrows on a small sampan about thirty meters away from Young Master Han. Young Master Han was terribly wounded, and his two servants were killed. At that time, he hadn't recovered from injuries, so how stable his hands were!

At the moment, he was just holding a small bowl, and his hands trembled obviously. He must be deeply moved by the behavior of sending him soup for three days!

My poor brother! Such a trivial and insignificant behavior made him deeply moved!

Judging by this, it was known that he must lack care and love in these years!

Therefore, I must not be lazy. At least, during the period on the island, I must insist on providing him with soup every day!

With complicated feelings, she called him “brother” naturally.

Sheng Shuihe didn't know that she had a firmer determination. He endured, endured again, and successfully held back his words: my sister, the chicken soup that your mother made for you definitely looked, smelt, and tasted good. However, yours is poisonous!

With a silent sigh, Sheng Shuihe felt he could not continue doing this!

Putting the bowl on the edge of the bed carefully, he said to Gongsun Xi, “Go to invite my dad!”

Turning to Sheng Weiqiao, he showed a grateful and adoring smile, “I haven't realized until today that the soup you made hasn't been served to father yet. That is my fault! Please do not blame me for taking the liberty of sharing!”

Sheng! Lanci!

You should suffer from your spoiled daughter!!!

Looking at the big pot, Sheng Weiqiao shook her head, “It doesn't matter! But there will be some soup left when daddy comes later. Brother, please eat it when it is still hot!”

Having no time to be moved by her finally calling him “brother”, he said in the gentlest voice in his life, “No, no, no, I was not a filial son because I didn't realize that earlier! Now, how could I let him eat the soup left by me? He must have the first taste!”

“Sure enough, my brother has been thinking of dad all these years!” Sheng Weiqiao thought, “After all, he survived human trafficking and such a family of pirates' lair. The hards.h.i.+p he has suffered is unimaginable! He didn't know my mother and me before. So, when he felt uncomfortable, he must pin his hope on father. Unfortunately, father thought him dead in the early years. Alas….”

Before finis.h.i.+ng showing her sympathy, Sheng Lanci came in with a smiling face. Entering the door, he glared at Sheng Shuihe with disappointment, and thought, “How dare the daydreaming boy wanted to take my daughter from me! He also drank the soup that my daughter made for him! He didn't think of me until today!!!”

If I hadn't made a prediction and added something in the soup, he wouldn't have remembered his father at all!

After showing his dissatisfaction with his son through facial expressions, he looked at Sheng Weiqiao gently, “Sweetheart, do you feel tired? You could have ordered servants to do such things, why did you do that by yourself?”

In the past, if he showed his partiality to his daughter, they would look down upon that.

But, at the moment, they all nodded one after another, hoping sincerely that Sheng Weiqiao could adopt the advice!

However, Sheng Weiqiao decided to continue to do it well, and she didn't consider their advice at all. She quickly provided a bowl of soup for Sheng Lanci, “Daddy, eat it while it's hot!”

Then, she looked at Sheng Shuihe again and smiled, “Daddy is drinking it. Don't gape, brother!”

She thought that she knew Sheng Shuihe's thoughts. See, the poor brother had been so shrewd and capable. Seeing father come, he felt so lost!

It could be known how eager he was for father's love!

She didn't know that Sheng Shuihe showed Sheng Lanci something through eye contact: you are ruthless!

People like Sheng Shuihe and Gongsun Xi had endured an ordeal in the past days, while Sheng Lanci had been living an extravagant life!

He was able to drink the disgusting soup with a straight face and indicated that his daughter's culinary skills were extraordinary through facial expressions. Sheng Shuihe realized: the man, who had developed Sheng Family from an ordinary well-off household to one of the Three Big Families in Nanfeng County, was not simple, even if he had been living an extravagant life with little sufferings!

What was hateful was that he showed him the empty bowl as a kind of provocation after drinking. He stroked his beard with a smile, “Shuihe, why don't you eat it? Your sister got up early to cook for you. You must not let her down!”

“Dad!” Sheng Shuihe squinted at him for a while. Then, he stood up and dropped to his knees before him with a bowl of soup, which was provided by Sheng Lanci on purpose. Eyes red, he said with full emotions, “I have been away from home for many years and have never served you for even one day! And now, because of my personal affairs, both you and sister are on the island, away from our family! I am totally an unfaithful and unfilial man!”

His unexpected behavior surprised everyone, including Sheng Lanci!

Then, Sheng Shuihe lifted the soup bowl over his head with two hands and wept, “I can't atone for that even dying ten thousand times. Now I would like to replace the tea with the soup that sister took a lot of time to cook and serve it to you. I hope that you can live a long and healthy life, and all your dreams will come true!!”

Sheng Lanci looked at his daughter next to him, who wanted to urge him to take the bowl. Then, he looked at his son with his head lowering and the corners of his mouth slightly curving. He wanted to kill him!
