Chapter 1051: Top Chef Su Dongjun
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone knew that Xia Mengyan was not the only one who called Xia Cheng ‘Grandpa.’ Yin Jingting and Yin Jinglin were both Xia Cheng’s biological grandsons as well.
Everyone in the Xia family hesitated for a moment before their eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the person Su Dongjun was talking about was Mengyan! Xia Cheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Mengyan in confusion.
At this moment, Xia Mengyan’s mind was extremely chaotic. Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to know Su Dongjun. Could it be that she had seen him before and had just forgotten because it was too long ago?
Before Xia Mengyan could figure it out, Old Madam Xia said excitedly, “Mengyan, come over and meet Mr. Su!”
Everyone’s eyes shifted between Su Dongjun and Xia Mengyan. Xia Mengyan’s body tightened as she felt inexplicably uneasy. Now, everyone thought that Su Dongjun was here to look for her. If the outcome was different, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing?
Xia Mengyan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, then took a deep breath and slowly walked forward with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Su. I’m Xia Mengyan.”
Su Dongjun glanced at her coldly. His posture was still arrogant as he nodded symbolically.
She heard that this top chef had a bad temper and was arrogant. If one wanted to invite him to cook, it would depend on his mood. If he was happy, it would not be a problem for him to cook a few dishes. If he was unhappy, it would be useless no matter how much money one spent. However, even though he had such a strange personality, there were still many people who invited him to cook. Moreover, they were all from noble families, so he had a lot of connections.
Xia Mengyan did not expect Su Dongjun to come for her, so she said with a smile, “Mr. Su, it’s really my honor that you’re here for my apprenticeship banquet today!”
Before Su Dongjun could say anything, Song Shiyu was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t today Young Master Yin Jinglin’s birthday banquet? He had long heard that Young Master Yin had been thinking about the top chef’s dishes, and he happened to know the top chef, so he invited him over. What was this about Xia Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet? Wasn’t this person overly confident?
Before Song Shiyu could say anything, Old Madam Xia could not help but get excited. The top chef was here for Xia Mengyan. Mengyan was really too outstanding. Even the top chef was willing to cook for her.
What right did the Yin family have to be arrogant? Even if Yingyun Hall was owned by the Yin family, they could not invite this top chef to cook for them even after so many years!
Old Madam Xia raised her head arrogantly and said proudly, “Yin Jinglin, you just said that if we could invite Mr. Su over, you wouldn’t chase us away. Now that he’s here, not only do you need to let us stay, but you also have to apologize to us!”
Yin Jingting’s expression instantly darkened. He wanted to chase the Xia family out not only because of their past grudges but also because Xia Yunlou actually called that mistress ‘Mom’ in public. Now, this mistress wanted to suppress the Yin family just because Su Dongjun was here and even wanted Jinglin to apologize?
He did not care about the relationship between Su Dongjun and Xia Mengyan, but it concerned the reputation of the entire Yin family. Even if it would offend Su Dongjun, he would never ask Jinglin to apologize.
Before Yin Jingting could say anything, Song Shiyu said anxiously, “We’re here for Xia Cheng…”
“That’s right! My Mengyan is Xia Cheng’s only granddaughter!” Old Madam Xia replied self-righteously, her old face full of wrinkles.
She held Xia Mengyan’s hand, her tone filled with pride and gratification. “Mengyan, you’re indeed a child of our Xia family. You’re the most outstanding no matter where you are. Even though some people have the care of the Yin family, they still don’t have the ability.”
Everyone could tell that the person Old Madam Xia was talking about was Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm when she heard this, and she sneered in her heart.
The envious gazes around her made Xia Mengyan lose herself in them. The last trace of doubt and rationality disappeared. She did not have time to think about the rationality of the matter. Vanity filled her heart and made it beat violently.
At this moment, she was the focus of everyone’s attention. Even if Qiao Xi had the Yin family behind her and Yingyun Hall was still the Yin family’s business, she was the one who managed to invite the top chef over. This was a supreme honor.
Xia Mengyan smiled shyly. “Everyone, you’ve come a long way to attend my apprenticeship banquet. It’s really been hard on you. Please rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon. May I know your name?”
Xia Mengyan looked at the apprentice standing beside Su Dongjun. She felt that this person looked a little familiar, but he seemed to have a high status. This was because ever since this group of people entered, he had been speaking up on behalf of Mr. Su Dongjun.
Song Shiyu glanced at her with disdain. “My surname is Song.”
