Chapter 108: Love and Affection (3)
Bai Xiruo didn’t mean to make just one dish, right?
As expected, Bai Xiruo looked at Huang Xiaoqi and smiled, “Yiyi, let’s each make four dishes and let them taste it. If we need something, let Lu Ping buy it. How about it?”
Huang Xiaoqi seemed to be backed into a corner.
Should she agree or not? That was the question.
Huang Xiaoqi thought for a moment, smiled slightly and said, “Okay! Four dishes each!”
“Whatever! I won’t give up. If she’s amazing, then I’ll lose. I’ll win next time! Moreover, I might not even lose!” Huang Xiaoqi encouraged herself secretly. At the same time, she began to search for recipes on her phone.
She had learned one yesterday. She still needed three more recipes!
At this time, Lu Ping smiled, “No, it’s not necessary. What time Is it now? It’s too early to cook, and it’ll go cold by noon. You guys should make one each. My mom and the others will be done in a while.”
Hearing this, Huang Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Xiruo thought it was a pity. However, Lu Ping was right. The food would go cold if they made it too early.
Sure enough, after an hour, Mr. and Mrs. Lu woke up.
Both of their cultivations had improved. But they hadn’t broken through.
Their aptitude wasn’t good, and the Qi conversion rate of using the cultivation liquid wasn’t very good either. This was one of the reasons why they weren’t willing to use it. However, Lu Ping knew that as long as they used cultivation fluid a few more times, their cultivations could still break through.
At this time, Lu Yu had just finished peeling the vegetables.
Lu Ping called her in again and took out the Crouching Tiger stance agreement.
He smiled and said, “This is one of the benefits of helping out with the promotion of martial arts outside the school. My own family can enjoy an internal discount. You guys basically don’t need to spend money to learn martial arts from me. It’s just a formality!”
A white lie could solve a lot of unnecessary problems.
As for Lu Ping, his family trusted him unconditionally. The three of them signed the agreement without even looking at the content.
Meanwhile, Lu Ping started to communicate with the system!
“I will pay for the tuition fees for the three of them, so just deduct the 500 star dollars for each of them! It will come to a total of 1,500 star dollars!”
The system said, “The last time the host signed the agreement, the selling price was 5,000 star dollars, and the handling fee was 800 star dollars. Therefore, this time, you have to pay 2,400 star dollars!”
Lu Ping said angrily, “You set the price at 3,000 star dollars. Last time, I sold it to an outsider, so of course it was more expensive. This time, I sold it to my own family. Naturally, I’ll still pay the processing fee at 3,000 star dollars. Let me tell you, since we’re so familiar with each other, don’t try to trick me! Moreover, this time, I drew up the agreement myself. The writing is the same, and it also says 3,000 star dollars!”
The system said nothing.
“Ding dong! Deducting the processing fee of 1,500 star dollars!”
Lu Ping was very satisfied. “That’s right, that’s how it should be.”
Lu Ping taught the Crouching Tiger stance to the three people at home.
After doing all this, Lu Ping transferred another 3,000 star dollars to Mrs. Lu. This money was nothing to him.
However, it must be known that Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu could only earn 1,000 star dollars a month together. They also had to bear the expenses of the family’s food and clothing.
Their budget was extremely tight.
After everything was done, he looked at the three people’s faces full of excitement and happy smiles.
Lu Ping felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
To be able to make the lives of the people close to him better, what more could he ask for?
“Dad, mom, in the future, you have to put more energy into your cultivation. Although the two of you didn’t make a breakthrough today, I see your cultivation level. If you cultivate diligently for a few more days, you will definitely be able to break through your current stage,” Lu Ping said.
Only when one’s parents’ cultivation levels were high would they be able to live longer.
Lu Ping did not know how far he could take them, but he would do his best.
After the official stuff was done, everyone was in a good mood. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu left the room.
Mrs. Lu smiled, “I’m sorry, I had something to do just now. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Bai Xiruo stood up and said, “Auntie, it’s okay. I was going to cook, but Lu Ping said it would get cold if it was done too early, so I didn’t cook yet. But Yiyi and I have agreed to cook a dish each and let everyone taste our cooking.”
Mrs. Lu quickly waved her hand and said, “You are guests, how can I let you cook?”
At this time, Huang Xiaoqi also got up and walked to Mrs. Lu’s side. She reached out and hugged her arm, smiled and said, “Auntie, what are you saying? It’s not my first time here, it’s now like my own home. Ruoruo, don’t worry. I can cook this dish. It’s your first time here, so you don’t know what to do. It’s better not to add to the work.”
Her words seemed peaceful, but in fact, they were like knives.
Huang Xiaoqi’s meaning was very clear. She was showing that she was close to Lu Ping’s mother.
It also showed that she was very familiar with the Lu Ping family.
As she spoke, Huang Xiaoqi even looked at Bai Xiruo snidely.
Bai Xiruo was not willing to show weakness, so she went up and smiled, “Yiyi, what are you saying? We are all young, so we should share some of the burden with auntie. Besides, if I have something I don’t understand, I will ask auntie, and auntie will definitely tell me.”
Her meaning was very clear. In this family, Mrs. Lu was the mistress, not Huang Yiyi!
Lu Ping did not hear the words of these two girls.
In his opinion, crazy Huang was very strange. She was like this last time, always pestering his mother.
As for Bai Xiruo, she was a warm-hearted girl.
But Mr. Lu, who was watching coldly, seemed to have noticed something.
However, he didn’t say anything.
He just secretly dragged Lu Ping to the sofa and said meaningfully, “Sometimes, it’s good to stay far away.”
Lu Ping looked at his father in confusion. What did he mean?
Mrs. Lu was also confused by their enthusiasm. The three of them went into the kitchen, and there were sounds of busy work coming from inside.
Mr. Lu then came to Lu Ping’s side and whispered, “Which of your two colleagues do you like?”
Lu Ping shook his head and said, “Neither...”
