Chapter 225: He Should Be Free to Choose

At this moment, Su Wan realized that Qin Lan had been living here alone recently. Grandpa was in the hospital, and Jing Shao and Jing Chen’s father did not live here at all.

In such a big old mansion, it was more or less empty with only one person.

This was Su Wan’s first reaction when she arrived. She felt that it was different from before.

Qin Lan also took a few glances and said helplessly, “I’m the only one left in the old mansion. Only the butler and a few aunties are left. The rest have been temporarily fired. I don’t need so many people.”

No wonder it seemed empty. It was mainly because there were fewer people and there was less liveliness.

Su Wan’s heart softened. She felt that Qin Lan had it tough. “Then I’ll accompany Mom for a few more days.”

“Okay!” Qin Lan was very happy to hear that.

No matter what, Qin Lan was going to cook personally today. It was also her pastime recently. Qin Lan had even learned how to play mahjong and would occasionally play with some other madams for a few days.

She did not cook meals. She handed the main meals to the auntie.

Qin Lan was baking some cakes and biscuits. Qin Lan even showed Su Wan the photos she had taken previously. Su Wan was interested and made them with Qin Lan.

Su Wan followed suit and even taught Qin Lan some more convenient methods.

......

After Qin Lan did as she was told, she said in surprise, “Wan wan, have you been baking? I feel like you’re quite familiar with this.”

Su Wan smiled faintly. This was her livelihood in the future, so she naturally took it to heart.

It was not like her hobby, where she just needed to be happy and satisfied. What she pursued during that period of time was not only the perfection of the appearance but also the taste.

The taste was more important.

The appearance was just the face of the brand, and the taste was the capital to keep repeat customers.

After Qin Lan finished taking the photo, she praised with satisfaction, “Our Wan wan’s cooking is really good. Mom posted it on WeChat. Wan wan, quickly go and like it.”

Su Wan smiled and agreed. She took out her phone and found Qin Lan’s post. She was stunned.

Jing Chen liked it instantly.

He was fast. It had only been a minute since she posted it…

Su Wan obediently liked it and put down her phone.

Qin Lan looked up at her and smiled as she cut open the cake. She placed one in front of Su Wan and picked up a spoon and tasted the other. She immediately revealed a stunned expression. “Wan wan, the one you made is so delicious. It’s much better than mine.”

After Su Wan received her approval, she was very happy. She had been thinking about it herself and had never gotten someone else to taste it. She really wanted to get some advice from Qin Lan. “Mom, if you feel that there are still some small problems with the taste, we can discuss it. I can pay more attention when making it.”

Qin Lan was still smiling, but she was a little puzzled. She blinked. “I think this already tastes very good.”

Su Wan nodded and was a little disappointed. Obviously, she wasn’t looking forward to this answer. She thought for a while and deliberated over her words before asking, “Compared to Mom’s usual desserts, mine is still slightly inferior, right?”

Su Wan couldn’t ask too obviously. She felt a little guilty.

Especially after seeing that Bai Lian and Jing Chen could still be together calmly today, not only did Su Wan’s desire to leave not decrease, it became even stronger and more urgent.

Qin Lan took another bite and said thoughtfully, “Mom doesn’t think so.”

After saying that, Qin Lan’s expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Su Wan solemnly and probed, “Wan wan, tell Mom the truth. Do you want to make it for someone else?”

Seeing that Qin Lan had misunderstood, Su Wan didn’t hesitate and said, “Yes, Mom. I naturally want the taste to be better.”

“Is it another man? The son of the Lin Family, Lin Yu?”

Su Wan waved her hand and smiled. “No, Mom misunderstood.”

Seeing that Su Wan rejected her firmly, Qin Lan was relieved. Her eyes seemed to be unfathomable. The two of them were silent for a while. Qin Lan pursed her lips and asked, “Wan wan, did you feel uncomfortable seeing Jing Chen and Bai Lian today? Mom understands, but listen to Mom. According to what Mom knows, Jing Chen doesn’t care about Bai Lian. Moreover, the Jing Family will never acknowledge a woman like Bai Lian.”

Su Wan came to Qin Lan and said seriously, “Mom, Jing Chen should be free to choose the person he loves, right?”
