Chapter 1398: He Actually Thanked Her!?

Cai Anqi stamped her feet in frustration and harrumphed. She headed back to her bedroom and came back with her leather wallet. She took out some RMB notes from the wallet and gave them to the delivery person.

Ning Shu noticed that Cai Anqi’s wallet was from a famous brand. The wallet probably cost tens of thousands.

Seemed like Cai Anqi was indeed quite well-off.

Cai Anqi, who had to pay for the food, looked very disgruntled. She purposefully stomped in anger as she walked away.

Ning Shu pretended to not hear anything. She calmly called Wang Bo and told him to return home for lunch.

When Wang Bo got home, he saw a table full of fragrant food. He turned to Ning Shu in astonishment and asked, “You ordered from outside?”

Ning Shu nodded in reply. “Anqi doesn’t want to cook. She said she’ll only order takeout from now on.”

Wang Bo frowned and said, “How much was it?”

Wang Bo was a working man, and the entire pressure of supporting his family was on him. The whole meal already cost him several hundred yuan, while his daily salary was only a few hundred yuan.

Cai Anqi overheard Wang Bo’s words when she came out of her bedroom, and her face instantly turned dark. She sharply pulled back her chair and sat down.

“I paid for it, not you,” snapped Cai Anqi. Her rude words immediately put people on the spot.

Wang Bo couldn’t help but glance at his mother, but Ning Shu wasn’t fazed. Instead, she calmly started to serve lunch.

Wang Bo felt humiliated, but he didn’t know how to counter Cai Anqi. So, he took a deep breath to compose himself and replied, “Anqi, thank you.”

When Ning Shu heard this, she really felt like dumping the bowl of chicken stew on Wang Bo’s face. He actually thanked her!?

Cai Anqi snorted coldly and lifted her chopsticks to begin eating.

Wang Bo had no choice but to eat in awkward silence. He began to stuff his face with food to quickly escape the uncomfortable atmosphere. Ning Shu placed a bowl of chicken stew in front of Wang Bo and said, “Try this. Anqi had killed a chicken to make stew for you.”

Wang Bo’s face immediately lit up as he smiled towards Cai Anqi and said, “Thank you.”

Cai Anqi simply nodded.

Wang Bo finished a bowl of chicken stew and went back to work after eating. After Cai Anqi was done eating, she pushed her bowl away and went back to her bedroom and locked the door.

Ning Shu saw that there were still several dishes leftover on the table, but she poured them all out into the trash. After she cleaned up, she returned to her room and continued to practice Unsurpassable Martial Arts.

For the rest of the day, Cai Anqi and Ning Shu didn’t cross paths. They both shut themselves in their rooms.

In the evening, when it was time for Wang Bo to return home from work, Ning Shu finally knocked on Cai Anqi’s door and said, “It’s evening already. It’s time to order food.”

“Again? Didn’t I just order at noon?” Cai Anqi’s voice turned high in surprise.

Ning Shu smiled kindly and explained, “You said that the leftovers were unhealthy, so I threw them out.”

“You threw away all those dishes!?” Cai Anqi was fuming. “It’s probably because you weren’t using your own money. That’s why you’re being so wasteful.”

Hahaha, I didn’t see your heartache when you were using other people’s money. You only felt the pain when it was from your own wallet.

Ning Shu’s face remained unchanged. “It was the meal you ordered. You said that eating leftovers wasn’t good for your health, so I threw it out.”

“You…” Cai Anqi was so furious that her chest heaved, and she inwardly cursed at the old woman.

To hell with honesty. She was clearly a wicked mother-in-law!

“It’s time for dinner. You should order more food,” said Ning Shu blankly.

Cai Anqi held Ning Shu’s arm and coquettishly said, “Mother, you cook the most delicious food. I like what you cook best, and the food cooked at home is clean and healthy.”

With a kind smile pasted on her face, Ning Shu gently patted Cai Anqi’s hand which was on her arm and said, “You’re also a woman. You should know that at my age, menopause causes the body to be really uncomfortable. Cooking is too difficult for me in this state.”
