"Alright, Iâll let my cousin know later." Wang Shuyun frowned and asked, "Not all the village kids are bad, but itâs always good to be cautious."
It wasnât that Wang Shuyun didnât trust Shen Lingyuâs words, but she knew too well her cousinâs personality.
She seemed friendly to everyone, yet if someoneâs character was not up to par, Wang Shuxia wouldnât really bother dealing with them.
Moreover, Gu Lingling, whom her own mother constantly mentioned, was also from a nearby village, known not only for her culinary skills but also for her good manners.
What Shen Lingyu said earlier was right though; since the girl knew she was Wang Shuxiaâs sister and was visiting their house, it would have been only appropriate for her to lend a hand.
Pretending not to see anything was indeed a bit impolite.
Whatever, if she didnât help, she didnât help. Since I managed to carry things out of the Capital City alone, a few more steps wouldnât be difficult, right?
"Thank you, Xiao Yu." Wang Shuyun said with a smile.
Shen Lingyu was surprised that Wang Shuyun brushed off the matter so casually, leaving her feeling a bit deflated.
If she kept talking, it would clearly seem like she was tattling behind someoneâs back.
"Iâm happy to help, Aunt." Shen Lingyu said with a smile, "How long are you staying here, Aunt? Iâll treat you to a meal some day. The signature dishes at Qin Cityâs National Day Restaurant are quite famous."
Shen Lingyu knew that Wang Shuyun was a big foodie, especially fond of cuisines from various places.
"Sure, letâs find a day when Iâm free." Wang Shuyun said with a smile.
Actually, what she really wanted to eat was the food cooked by Gu Lingling herself.
No matter how delicious the food from a state-run restaurant was, she had eaten too much of it, and preferred home-cooked dishes.
Especially after tasting the food by her half-baked cousin Wang Shuxia last year, she couldnât stop longing for the cooking skills of the master-level Gu Lingling.
Shen Lingyu smiled and persistently continued, "Knowing youâre here, Iâve already checked out several famous eateries in Qin City. Iâll take you to try them all when we have the time."
Wang Shuyun smiled and complimented, "Oh, then Iâm in for a treat."
Wang Shuxia didnât know Wang Shuyun would come today, so she wasnât at home. As for how Shen Lingyu knew about it, she had connections in the Capital City.
Seeing Wang Shuyun arrive, Liu Yating was startled, "Aunt, why are you here?"
Wasnât it supposed to be in a few days?
"I wanted to surprise you!" Wang Shuyun paused at this, glanced at Shen Lingyu, then walked in with a smile, "Hurry up, Iâm exhausted."
Liu Yating and Gu Lingling quickly took the things from her hands.
"Aunt, are you moving house? Why did you bring so many things?" Liu Yaxin asked with a laugh, "Is it delicious food Grandma bought for me?"
"You little foodie." Wang Shuyun tapped Liu Yaxinâs nose, "These things arenât for you."
"Thank you, Xiao Yu." Wang Shuyun stood up and said with a smile to Shen Lingyu, "Without you, it would have been something carrying these things."
"It was just lucky timing, Aunt." Shen Lingyu had seen the way Wang Shuyun glanced at her earlier, "Aunt, should I help you organize these things?"
"No need, theyâre for someone else. Iâll just take them directly then." Wang Shuyun said with a smile.
"Whoâs it for?" Shen Lingyu asked nonchalantly.
"For that girl Gu Lingling." Wang Shuyun said with a smile, "Do you know her?"
Shen Lingyu, "..."
What?
"This... how could it be for her?"
