Chapter 1288

Very quickly, Jiao Ziqing switched her phone off and turned her head . A look of surprise appeared on her face when she saw Ou Ming . She remarked, “You’ve finally remembered to come home?”

“I just got here,” Ou Ming said . “Have you eaten yet?”

“Did you expect me to be waiting for you?” Jiao Ziqing asked sarcastically . She gave Yu Lili a onceover and refrained from making a snarky comment . “Have you guys not eaten yet?”

“We had breakfast . We came over to prepare lunch and have it together,” Ou Ming said matter-of-factly as he held on to Yu Lili’s hand . It was as if he didn’t feel sense anything amiss with what he just said . “Let Yu Lili prepare lunch with Nanny Zhang . Her cooking is awesome . ”

Jiao Ziqing looked at Ou Ming with disdain written all over her face as she retorted, “It’s just passable . It’s barely palatable . ”

Well, it’s still better than yours… Ou Ming thought himself quietly . He held Yu Lili’s hand as he followed Jiao Ziqing out the door .

“Nanny Zhang, this lady here says she wants to help with the lunch preparations . Take her with you to do the grocery shopping . ” Jiao Ziqing stretched her back, portraying an air of indifference .

Nanny Zhang was surprised and asked, “Young Madam wants to prepare lunch? That’s not necessary! I can do it on my own . ”

“Young Madam?” Jiao Ziqing turned her head when she heard Nanny Zhang address Yu Lili as such . “You shouldn’t just call anyone that! It’ll be awkward if she really thinks she’s one . ”

Although this statement was directed toward Nanny Zhang, Yu Lili’s face reddened even more than anyone else’s . Nanny Zhang glanced at Yu Lili and hesitated, at a loss of what to say in that moment .

Realizing that Yu Lili was having a hard time maintaining her expression, Ou Ming shielded Yu Lili behind him and said, “Mom, she’s my woman . Can’t you be a little more respectful when you speak?”

Jiao Ziqing snorted and glanced at Yu Lili in apparent ignorance . “If she can’t even take such a jibe, how can she even think of becoming our daughter-in-law?”

“Alright, alright . ” Ou Huojin appeared to smoothen things over . “Weren’t you supposed to go grocery shopping? Go on, then . Xiao Ou, let’s have a good game of chess together!”

“I haven’t seen the both of you play chess in a long time . Come one, let’s go up to the study . ” Jiao Ziqing sounded a little happy . When she spoke, she deliberately brushed past Yu Lili’s shoulder, excluding her from the conversation .

Ou Huojin shook his head when he heard that . “What are you going for? Father and son are going to have a heart to heart talk . You should go grocery shopping, too . You spend so much time at home, you’re almost rotting away . Go on . You three women should get going . ”

The three women naturally referred to Jiao Ziqing, Yu Lili, and Nanny Zhang . Jiao Ziqing knew she was being sent away . She was a little unhappy . When she saw how resolute her husband was being, she nodded her head and said, “Alright then . Let’s go grocery shopping . ”

Nanny Zhang felt a little overwhelmed by the honor . She usually accomplished the errand on her own . Now, all of a sudden, a young lady and the mistress of the home were going with her to shop for groceries .

But, she didn’t dare voice any objection . She led them through the door . Once out the door, Nanny Zhang immediately walked toward the main gate .

Jiao Ziqing stopped in her steps at the entrance and asked, “Aren’t we going by car?”

Nanny Zhang turned her head and explained, “The market is only a little more than a 10-minute walk from here . We don’t need to go by car . ”

“More than 10 minutes?” Jiao Ziqing asked in surprise . “That near? Why didn’t I know of it? Is it a supermarket or a wet market?”

“A wet market,” Nanny Zhang replied .

A look of disdain appeared on Jiao Ziqing’s face . “Won’t it be very dirty?”

Yu Lili saw her expression and knew that she’d never been to a wet market before . She said, “Auntie, many things in the supermarket aren’t fresh . Naturally, when cooked, they won’t be as tasty as the fresh ingredients from a wet market . ”
