章 269: A Family Dinner 2

Yue Niang froze. To distract everyone from noticing, Tai Cheng laughed loudly, eagerly scooping more food to Jingwei's plate. 

"I mean, my mom died a long time ago - but I'm not saying that your cooking is like a dead woman's! Sorry if I said something wrong!" Jingwei was just about to apologise again, because Xue Ning's mom was staring at him unnervingly, like she was about to burst into tears or stab him with her spoon. 

"It's alright Jingwei, we understand what you mean. That's a very nice thing to say, isn't it, wife?" He nudged Yue Niang knowingly, and Yue Niang finally responded, shaking herself as though she was waking up from a dream.

"That it is. One of my oldest friends taught me this recipe," Yue Niang said. "To think you would like it is surprising."

"Hahaha, your friend must be a great chef Auntie! Does she own a restaurant too?"
