Because I simply love you

Chapter 22: Not a threat

Back to the time when Jianyu was with his cousin.

"I know a chef who can be the best choice for this."

"Who?", he asked.

He smiled. "The same girl I went on lunch with. Mom would have already told you everything about her. She runs her own restaurant. And she cooks damn too good. I think you should really give her a chance. I guarantee your celebration will be a huge hit. Mark my words."

The man raised his eyebrows. Jianyu was really confident about her. As a matter of fact his aunt as well.

And he was confident in them. So, he believed she must really have that potential.

"I know she is not Michelin star level, but I'm sure she won't let you down. Just try it. Her place is really popular with many folks.", he tried more persuading. "So please try to convince sister-in-law."

The man thought and nodded.

"Okay. I will talk to her."

Jianyu was happy. "Thanks, bro."

And as expected, she agreed. She was still doubtful and uneasy about this. She did not want any mishap to occur during their celebration. But since Jianyu tried so hard to convince him and aunt also had a good opinion, she could only say yes.

Back to the present.

Nana stood there shocked. Every other word for shock was not enough to describe her state.

"What!? Me? No Chen Jianyu. How can I do this?"

"Why not?", he furrowed his eyebrows. He thought he came up with such a brilliant idea that she would be happy with it.

"Obviously your cousin would also belong to a rich family like yours, right? Your events are so high-profile and..and don't you call very famous chefs for such an event? I have never been contracted for an event as big as this. Why would you choose a small restaurant like mine?", she said all in one breath.

Ah, so that's what her problem is.

"You don't have to worry about anything. I have personally tasted your dishes so I know I'm not making a mistake. I'm sure everybody will love them as well."

"But what if I make a mistake? Would it not affect your reputation? People will think badly of you.", she said in a panic.

He smiled hearing her concern. "I will be there with you as well. You are not alone. If anything does happen, we'll figure it out. After all, nothing is difficult for Chen's.", he proudly said.

Her eyebrow twitched. The confidence!

"But.."

"No buts. And it's also a good opportunity for you to shine. If this event is successful, which I'm sure it will, then you'll make Natsukashi so famous. You will start to get bigger events like these in the future. You will grow so much in this field. Don't you want to make your mark in this industry?"

Indeed what he said is true. This is a good chance to prove myself. Plus I will also earn quite a lot of money. It could help me with twin's high school fees and the rent too. I won't know until I try.

She finally decided. "Okay. I will do it."

Jianyu smiled. "That's more like it."

"Alright. I will set your meeting with them. We will then discuss all the requirements. I will head to the office now. I will text you the meeting time and place."

"Okay."

---

"Mam, here's the information on that girl.", Suyin's assistant handed her the file.

This morning, she had told her assistant to do a background check and gather all the information on that girl who was seen with Jianyu.

"Okay. You can leave."

"Yes, mam."

Suyin took a look at it. And she was stunned. She read everything in great detail.

This isinteresting. Turns out that she is not as simple and kind as she has painted herself to be. Does Jianyu know about this?

But Suyin was relieved. That girl, Nana, is not much of a threat she thought she would.

So now there is no obstacle for me, she thought. If I plan this carefully I will definitely get him back.

And she smiled.

---

Jianyu called his cousin. "Everything is set, bro."

"Set up a meeting with her tomorrow in my office."

"Okay. I will inform her. Will sister-in-law be also there?"

"Yes. Since you and aunt have both vouched for her, I have no problem with it. But she is still uncertain about this. So she wants to meet her personally."

"Alright."

Then he became silent.

Jianyu checked if the call was still on. Which it was. "Bro? Are you there? Why suddenly go on silent mode?"

After a long pause, he said, "The Tang family is also invited."

He could hear him taking a deep breath. "I know. And I also know you didn't do it on purpose. It must be grandma, right?"

"Yes." After a moment's pause, he asked, "What will you do?"

He smiled bitterly. "What is there left to do? I will just pretend that we are strangers. If possible, I don't want to meet her."
