Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"Okay, okay, stop messing around and let's make some pastries." Lei reached out to grab the ingredients next to him and picked up a strawberry to feed her.

Shan Lai ate a strawberry from his hand, then picked up the flour beside her with ease and instructed the people to hand her the necessary ingredients.

The class just watched her do it.

She didn't say much while she was making pastries, just a few words occasionally. I would secretly watch her little expression and then glance at her movements as she made the pastries.

Shanlai was making pastries very seriously, and the students next to her were also watching her very seriously.

When she finally finished making the small plate of pastries and put them in the oven, she looked up and met Lei's gaze.

Shan Lai smiled. Didn't she say she was going to make cakes? Why was he looking at her like that?

"Class." She called his name and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Lei smiled and patted her hand gently, "I'm looking at you." Then he walked to her side, hugged her from behind, and rubbed his face against her head.

Shan Lai told him about the basic ingredients for making pastries, and also talked about some of the pastries she learned from the pastry chef in Country M.

She spoke softly, and occasionally someone responded to her.

All of this seems to be such a peaceful and peaceful time.

……

Nadel had dinner at the Huo family and chatted with old lady Huo.

Just as the two were talking about the university that Nadel applied for in Country M, Huo Cheng just came back from outside.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Kassell who was reading a newspaper on the sofa next to her. She taunted him mercilessly: "Huo Huan, don't be ignorant of the rules and bring any cat or dog home."

"Especially outsiders like this who come from unknown places." Huo Cheng deliberately emphasized the tone of the four words "unknown places", and then rolled his eyes at Nadel.

Nadel clenched his fists and was about to stand up to teach this outspoken woman a lesson.

"Pa." Old Mrs. Huo was one step faster than her and slapped Huo Cheng hard on the face.

Huo Cheng covered her face and looked at her grandmother in disbelief. Why did her grandmother hit her?

Shouldn't we beat that wild kid Huo Huan?

"Grandma, you have never touched a finger of mine since I was a child." Huo Cheng felt aggrieved, and tears kept dripping from his eyes.

"Asshole!" Old Mrs. Huo was so angry that she fell backwards. Fortunately, Nadel was quick to rush forward and support her, so the old lady did not fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Kassell quickly put down the newspaper he was reading and walked quickly to the side of Mrs. Huo, "Grandma, don't get excited."

When Huo Cheng heard the stranger she saw when she just entered the door call her grandmother "Grandma", she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Nadel helped old lady Huo to sit on the sofa next to her. After a while, she thought she was almost done. She smoothed her chest and looked at Huo Cheng with regret, her good granddaughter who was always causing trouble but could not do anything good.

"Huo Cheng, you bastard!"

"This is your aunt's son Kassell, and your cousin."

"You have turned a deaf ear to everything your father taught you, right? And all those books you have read since you were a child, and all those famous teachers your father spared no effort to invite to teach you, you have let them down, you are unworthy of being a descendant of the Huo family!" Old Mrs. Huo became more and more angry as she spoke, and she kept coughing because she spoke too quickly.

Kassell put one hand in his pocket, silently looked at his nominal cousin, then lowered his eyelids, "Grandma, don't be angry. This is my first time in Country K. It's normal that my cousin doesn't recognize me. Don't get angry and get sick." As he said that, he leaned down, stretched out his hand and gently patted Mrs. Huo's back to help her calm down.

Old Mrs. Huo finally calmed down. If looks could kill, Huo Cheng would have died millions of times.

This idiot!

Now is a critical moment in the election, and it is time to utilize the forces of all parties. As long as there is a slight hope of winning over a person or family, they will not give up.

Nadel comes back to see them basically once a year, but it's different for Kassell, he is a native of M country, and I heard that people there attach great importance to etiquette.

After being messed up by Huo Cheng today, how can he persuade his father to help the Huo family?

Old Mrs. Huo was so angry at her granddaughter that she almost had a heart attack.

So what if she meets a stranger? Can't she just keep silent?

Perhaps when she was enjoying the conveniences brought to her by the Huo family, she had forgotten her identity and status.

"You go back to your room and when your father comes back I will tell him in person what you did tonight."

"If you can't stay in Country K, then go back to the country where you studied as soon as possible." Old Mrs. Huo was really angry, and even her words trembled.

Huo Cheng glared at Nadel next to him.

Nadel just chuckled and nodded, what kind of idiot is this?

Even after it has come to this, she is still acting like the worthless eldest daughter of the Huo family.

Unable to bear her defiant look, Nadel went up to her and pulled her to the ground by her hair, and hit her in the face with his other hand.

"Don't you like to hold it high? Then you can hold it steady. Don't let your stand fall to the ground one day." After saying that, he used his hands and feet to knock Huo Cheng down and knelt on one knee behind her back.

Huo Cheng let out a shrill roar, "Huo Huan, you..." He cursed with all kinds of dirty words that were unbearable to hear.

Huo Cheng's words surprised even Old Mrs. Huo who was standing next to him.

She no longer looks like the eldest daughter of the Huo family. The shouting she makes sounds like a street shrew.

Nadel has some kung fu skills, which are more than enough to deal with a rookie like Huo Cheng. After a few slaps, her fair little face was already swollen.

Old Mrs. Huo just watched coldly from the side, and Kassell had no intention of going up to persuade his good sister. Even if he tried to persuade her, he might not be able to persuade her.

When Nadel felt that she had been taught a lesson, he stood up and kicked Huo Cheng on the ground. "My cousin is really capable. She was eager to plot against others at the banquet, and she has been acting up since she came back today."

"Should I say that you have a better family background, or should I say that you are stupid? If you didn't have the Huo family to back you up, you would have been beaten to death several times." Nadel spoke mercilessly. She said whatever she could to make Huo Cheng uncomfortable, and she didn't care how ugly her expression was.

Old Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Cheng lying on the ground. In the end, she couldn't bear it, so she squatted down and helped Huo Cheng up from the ground.
