"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Anya heard Mother Lu's cough and immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that my throat feels uncomfortable. The weather is cold, so you should pay more attention to your health. Let's continue the topic just now. I have something to discuss with you." Mother Lu said calmly. She didn't want to be on the phone. What to say to Anya, she wanted to have a good talk with Anya in person.

"Auntie, just tell me the time and place. I'll be available at any time."

Anya tried not to let her emotions show. When she heard Lu's mother being so solemn, she couldn't help but guess that Lu's mother must have discovered something. But she didn't know how much Lu Mu knew, so she didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"If you have time, come over at noon today. I'll ask the chef to cook your favorite dishes. If you agree, I'll send the driver to pick you up now." Mother Lu didn't want to delay it any longer. After all, she had long nights and lots of dreams.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll get ready." Anya agreed immediately, and then Lu's mother hung up the phone.

"What dishes have been prepared in the kitchen today?" Lu's mother Li Jiao walked into her kitchen with expectation and asked the busy chefs.

A chef in white clothes, wearing a professional mask, reported to Li Jiao respectfully: "Reporting to Madam, we have fresh seafood flown from Australia today, with rich varieties and high quality. We have prepared a menu for your lunch I ordered steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, pan-fried king crab, and a special seafood soup.”

After hearing this, Li Jiao showed a satisfied smile on her face, "It sounds delicious. Are there any other dishes?"

The chef continued: "Of course, there is also a dish of braised Dongpo pork, stewed with top-quality pork belly, which will melt in your mouth. In addition, there is also a dish of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, which is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious."

"It all sounds good." Li Jiao nodded with satisfaction, "But I decided to entertain guests at noon today. There is only one guest, a young girl. You can just add some exquisite desserts and fruits to the dishes. There are too many and we can’t finish them,” Mother Lu warned.

"Madam, is the guest you want to entertain today the future Mrs. Koji?"

After hearing what Lu Mu said, one of the chefs couldn't help but asked curiously. After all, who doesn’t know that Mr. Lu of the Lu Group has successfully proposed to Anya, the daughter of the overseas Chinese An Group in Country C? Now Mrs. Lu said she wanted to entertain a young female guest. This was probably Anya, right?

Hearing the chef's words, Lu's mother Li Jiao's eyes instantly became sharp, as if she could shoot out cold sword light. There was also a displeased expression on her face, obviously dissatisfied with the chef's words.

The chef opposite felt Lu's mother Li Jiao's displeasure. He smiled awkwardly and lowered his head in confusion. He knew in his heart that what he just said must have been wrong and made Lu's mother Li Jiao displeased. He secretly regretted it and hoped that he could have a chance to make up for this mistake.

The other chefs also looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that Lu Mu was exuding an aura as cold as ice. This momentum made everyone feel uncomfortable, as if the air had frozen.

Lu Mu's originally soft eyes suddenly became as cold as ice, as if she could see through everyone's heart. She frowned slightly and the corners of her mouth drooped, looking very unhappy.

This unpleasant atmosphere made the entire kitchen feel oppressive. The chefs didn't dare to speak out and could only continue the work at hand silently.

They were all guessing that what the chef said just now must have touched Lu's mother, Li Jiao. After all, Lu's mother has always had high expectations for Lu Qian's marriage, and the Lu family will never be short of money. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a daughter-in-law who agrees with Lu's mother.

Moreover, the chefs still remembered that not long ago, their young master, Lu Qian, seemed to have dated another girl, and that girl was obviously more popular with Lu's mother.

They also heard from others that the girl had never been to the big kitchen of Luzhai, so the chefs naturally had no chance to see her. But at the Lu family's cocktail party, the chefs used to cook food, and they saw Lu Qian dancing with the girl on his arm from a distance.

She is well-behaved, gentle and virtuous, and looks like a little princess in a fairy tale. Her appearance also matches the Lu family very well.

However, they did not end up together, and the reasons are self-evident. Lu Qian turned around and proposed to the daughter of the An Group in a short period of time. To put it bluntly, this must be a powerful business marriage.

Lu's mother Li Jiao soon realized that her reaction was a bit excessive, and she probably shouldn't let the chefs guess her thoughts easily.

She smiled and said to the chefs: "Yes, the distinguished guest we are entertaining today is the future Xiaolu Tai. You must be more attentive than usual. By the way, if there is enough fresh fish, let's make Yusheng. Yes. I haven’t eaten for days, so I really miss this bite.”

At this time, a chef intervened at the right time: "Madam, we have fresh wild red grouper today. The meat is extremely delicious. It is perfect for making fish."

"Then you start preparing. Now that the end of the year is approaching, I will give you a big red envelope as a reward in advance before New Year's Day." Mother Lu Li Jiao said with a smile, her tone full of satisfaction.

Upon hearing the news, several chefs in the kitchen immediately became energetic. Their faces were full of joy, as if they had seen the attractive big red envelope waving to them.

"Thank you, madam, for your generosity!" one chef said excitedly, and other chefs also expressed their gratitude.

Lu's mother Li Jiao left the large kitchen in Lu's house with satisfaction, leaving the space to the chefs. After she left the kitchen, the chefs breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you old man, what did you say just now?" One of the chefs gently patted the chef who just said the wrong thing and reminded, "Madam is obviously unhappy, how can you talk nonsense? ? From now on, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask.”

The chef who just said something wrong was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that he would also make a mistake when he said something casually. He scratched his head and said in a daze: "Well - I thought Madam..."

"It's obvious. Madam is not picky about the daughter of the An's Group. In her eyes, this daughter is so unworthy that she is not worthy of our eldest young master. In her mind I don’t know what kind of daughter-in-law the daughter-in-law is, but the daughter of the An Group is obviously not her. Brothers, from now on, no one should mention her, and don’t get into trouble again."

A chef told the truth of the matter. After all, they work for the master and receive generous remuneration, so they naturally have to learn to watch their actions.
