Even Master Li was very curious where Chen Yang had gotten such good stuff from.
âYes, Divine Doctor Chen, tell us how you came by this hundred-year-old wild Lingzhi,â he said.
Master Li asked expectantly.
Chen Yang sat down as Ruoxi had indicated, then turned towards Master Li beside him.
âMaster, you donât need to call me Divine Doctor; itâs too formal.
Just call me Chen Yang or Yang Zi,â
Chen Yang said with a smile.
Master Li was very fond of Chen Yang and was even more delighted upon hearing this.
âAlright, alright, then Iâll call you Yang Zi from now on.â
Master Li nodded repeatedly, and then Chen Yang started to talk about the origins of his hundred-year-old wild Lingzhi.
âWell, Master, I found out yesterday that Uncle Yang had invited me over for dinner, so I was thinking hard about what gift would be appropriate to bring,â he said.
âBut after visiting many high-end gift shops and not finding anything particularly great, I thenâŚâ
Chen Yang detailed the process of finding the gift and also briefly described Master Liâs situation.
Essentially, the gist was that the hundred-year-old wild Lingzhi was obtained by using his personal connections.
Upon hearing this, Master Li was utterly astonished.
âMaster Li?
The medical expert from the provincial capital?â
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was also surprised, âYes?
Master, do you know Master Li?â
Master Li gave a mysterious smile, âIâve had some interactions with him before, sought medical advice from him.â
âOh, I see.â
Chen Yang nodded in understanding and then fell silent.
After sitting idle in the living room for about another twenty minutes or so, Mrs.
Li came out of the kitchen and cheerfully informed everyone that it was time to eat.
Suddenly everyone moved from the living room to the dining room.
This wasnât Chen Yangâs first visit, so he was quite familiar with the Li family.
Sitting at the dining table, Chen Yang was very polite to Mrs.
Li and Ruoxiâs mother, greeting them warmly.
First things aside, Chen Yangâs manners were indeed impeccable.
Ruoxiâs mother was a glamorous and well-dressed lady who bore some resemblance to Liâs father, yet this did not hide the fact that she had been a great beauty in her youth.
âNo wonder Ruoxi and Li Han are both so beautiful; it runs in the family,â
Chen Yang thought to himself.
âHehe, everyone please start eating; my sister-in-law and I worked hard all afternoon to prepare this.â
Ruoxiâs mother said with a laugh as she invited everyone to begin eating.
Just then, sitting next to Chen Yang, Ruoxi excitedly stood up and introduced him to her mother, âMom, this is the Chen Yang Iâve often told you about.â
âHehe, hello Auntie.â
Taken by surprise by Ruoxiâs introduction, Chen Yang nevertheless quickly stood up and greeted Ruoxiâs mother.
Ruoxiâs motherâs smile was undiminished, âHello, so you are Chen Yang, truly a talented and good-looking young man!â
Ruoxiâs mother greeted Chen Yang warmly, followed by a few minutes of small talk, when she suddenly noticed someone was missing at the table.
âAh, Tiancheng, whereâs Zhou Qianzheng?â
Ruoxiâs mother asked Yang Tiancheng with a puzzled look.
Yang Tiancheng, with a stern expression, glanced towards Chen Yang and said, âHe had to leave suddenly due to an urgent matter.â
âOh, alright then, everyone please eat, see how my recent cooking skills are.â
Ruoxiâs mother said enthusiastically.
With that, everyone began to eat properly.
During the dinner, there was hardly any conversation, except for occasional small talks between Liâs father and Yang Tiancheng.
In the presence of Liâs father, who he greatly respected, Yang Tiancheng occasionally showed a hint of a smile.
Chen Yang observed all this.
âCome, Chen Yang, try this braised fish; itâs my momâs specialty.â
Yang Ruoxi smiled as she served Chen Yang some dishes.
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, âOkay, Iâll give it a try.â
Chen Yang tasted it and immediately nodded, âMmmâŚ
This tastes really good, Auntieâs cooking skills are on par with a five-star chef.â
Chen Yangâs expression was somewhat exaggerated, but no one at the gathering found it out of place.
Instead, Chen Yangâs words made everyone laugh heartily.
Especially Yangâs mother, who appeared particularly joyful.
âHaha, you flatter me too much, Auntie.
But Iâve heard from Ruoxi that during her time in Willow River Village, she often enjoyed the dishes you prepared.
When she returned, she even found my cooking a bit lacking.â
Yangâs mother said with a laugh.
âNot at all, Auntie, Iâm serious.
This braised fish is absolutely delicious; itâs the best Iâve ever had.â
Chen Yang continued to praise naturally.
Facing his mother-in-law, isnât this the trick to use?
âHaha, since it tastes so good, eat more of it,â Yangâs mother said with a laugh as she pushed the plate of braised fish toward Chen Yang.
Chen Yang also nodded and helped himself to a good serving.
Soon, a pleasant dinner came to an end.
After the meal, Yang Ruoxi and her sister Li Han naturally sat on the sofa and started watching TV.
Liâs father went to the tearoom to drink tea.
As for Yang Tiancheng, no one knew where he had gone.
Chen Yang looked around then folded back to the dining room.
In the dining room, Yangâs mother was cleaning up with Liâs mother.
âAuntie, let me help wash the dishes.â
Chen Yang approached enthusiastically, volunteering for the task.
Yangâs mother, before meeting Chen Yang, had already heard a lot about him through Ruoxi.
The Chen Yang described by Ruoxi was naturally all good things.
So, Yangâs mother already had a good impression of Chen Yang.
Today, seeing Chen Yangâs behavior in person made her like him even more.
âOh Yang Zi, these are simple tasks, your Aunt Li and I can handle them.
Go and watch TV on the sofa, weâve got this,â Yangâs mother said with a smile.
âYes, Yang Zi, youâre a guest here, how could I let you wash dishes?
Go watch TV, we can manage,â Liâs mother also said cheerfully, turning down Chen Yang.
But that couldnât stop Chen Yang from wanting to make a good impression!
âDonât worry, Auntie, let me do it.
We young people should help out more with the chores, so you donât get too tired,â Chen Yang said as he rolled up his sleeves and started busily working at the sink.
This action of Chen Yang greatly pleased Yangâs mother.
She thought to herself, her beloved daughter indeed had an eye for outstanding people.
While Chen Yang washed the dishes, Yang Tiancheng came down from a room on the second floor.
With a serious look, he scanned the hall from the second floor but didnât see Chen Yang and immediately headed downstairs.
Walking to the sofa, he asked Yang Ruoxi, âWhereâs Chen Yang?â
Yang Ruoxi and Li Han, who hadnât seen each other in a long time, were hugs while watching TV.
Hearing Yang Tianchengâs voice, Yang Ruoxi immediately looked around, but didnât spot Chen Yang.
âHuh, he was just here, how could he suddenly disappear?â
Yang Ruoxi said with a puzzled face.
âCould he have gone to the bathroom?â Li Han suggested from the side.
âPossibly,â Yang Ruoxi agreed, nodding her head, then she immediately put on slippers and went to check the bathroom.
