Upon seeing Lin Gantang, Jiang Chenying immediately revealed a smile and took off her apron, “Gantang, you’re here, come take a seat. Are you hungry?”

She came forward to drag Lin Gantang to sit down, “I was short on time and didn’t manage to make braised pork. Do you like spare ribs? I’ve got some stewing in the kitchen.”

Lin Gantang remembered her previous visit to Yin Zhen’s home at Mingqing Mansion when Auntie Ying asked if she liked braised pork. She had casually replied that she did, without realizing Auntie Ying would take it to heart.

Preparing your favorite food is probably the simplest and most earnest care an elder can show to the younger generation.

Lin Gantang quietly observed Jiang Chenying next to her; her hair was as always neatly combed, with a light makeup applied, and now that she had removed her apron, the exquisite dress she wore was fully revealed.

Even though her love life was not ideal, Jiang Chenying hadn’t become hysterical and still carried herself with grace and elegance.

She was attentive and strong, adept in both the social hall and the kitchen, and had even raised a capable daughter. Looking at it this way, Lin Gantang felt that the cheating Yin Hongjiang actually didn’t deserve her.

“Thank you, Auntie Ying, I love everything you make,” Lin Gantang sweetly said. “Please take a rest, Auntie. You started working on lunch as soon as you arrived, we can’t have you wear yourself out.”

“I’m not tired, I came early in the morning and have already rested well,” Jiang Chenying, looking at Gantang who was growing up to resemble her good friend more and more, showed a tender look in her eyes.

Yin Zhen glanced at Lin Gantang, sweet-talking to her mother’s face and acting obediently out of character, and felt uncomfortably goosebumpy.

Once Jiang Chenying sat down, the Ragdoll cat hiding behind the sofa peeked its head out. Jiang Chenying reached out and picked it up.

The Ragdoll cat squirmed in her arms, turning its head to try licking its tail but was obstructed by the Elizabeth Collar around its neck.

Lin Gantang examined its tail and saw that the fur had been shaved and the wound had been medicated.

She tentatively reached out to it, but the Ragdoll cat shrank back into Jiang Chenying’s embrace.

Lin Gantang withdrew her hand, refraining from forcing a touch.

“It’s not used to people?”

“No,” Jiang Chenying said soothingly as she petted the cat’s back. “It only started behaving like this after it got injured. It used to be very affectionate toward people.”

Yin Zhen said, “Now it won’t even let me hold it and only allows my mum to touch it. That man Yin He, he abuses even a cat; I think he’s probably not right in the head.”

At those words, Jiang Chenying said, “You shouldn’t make such accusations without evidence.”

Yin Zhen bit back her response, but she didn’t think she was wrong.

“How long will you stay around here, Gantang? Auntie will stay for a few days. Why don’t you and your sir come over for a meal when you’re both free?” Jiang Chenying asked Lin Gantang. Then she suddenly recalled something and turned to Yin Zhen, “Right, I saw that the upstairs has been renovated. An entire wall of floor-to-ceiling mirrors and no furniture placed, such an empty room, what’s it for?”

“I was thinking of practicing dancing before,” Yin Zhen replied evasively and then quickly changed the subject, “Mum, I can smell the meat; are the ribs ready?”

Jiang Chenying put down the cat, “I’ll go check on it.”

As soon as she left, the Ragdoll cat also scurried away and hid.

Seeing Jiang Chenying busy herself, Lin Gantang lowered her voice to converse, “Haven’t you told Auntie Ying about your relationship with Lin Fan?”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t hide that the room upstairs was remodeled into a practice hall for Lin Fan, right?

Yin Zhen nodded, “I’ll tell her when our relationship is more stable. Plus, my mum has always hoped I’d find someone older who I can rely on. Lin Fan is younger than me; I don’t know if she would approve.”

“Being reliable isn’t just about age, Auntie Ying is a reasonable person, she will support your choice,” Lin Gantang assured her.

“Lin Fan and I are still young; there are countless changes that could happen in the future. I haven’t thought too much about it. After all, nobody can predict what lies ahead,” Yin Zhen said.

“What if he says he wants you to make your relationship public now, or else break up? Would you do it?” Lin Gantang asked.
