Chapter 594: Ghost Intermediary

After speaking, she said with a troubled expression, “It seems like we can only wait for my father to come back and bring us out for dinner.”

Previously, it was Wan Li who cooked. There was originally an auntie at home, but Wan Li said that she did not need her and even fired her.

Now that Wan Li was in jail, she didn’t know how to cook even if there were ingredients in the fridge.

“Go out to eat?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have any ingredients at home?”

Zeng Zijuan nodded. “Yes, but I don’t know how to cook.”

“Let me do it.”

Lu Sheng stood up and spoke faintly.

She did not mind, but she could not let Chu Yan starve.

“You?” Zeng Zijuan questioned. “Is what you made edible?”

Lu Sheng smiled. “Won’t we know soon if it’s edible?”

“Okay, follow me.”

Zeng Zijuan led her into the kitchen.

Lu Sheng opened the fridge and realized that there were indeed a lot of ingredients inside.

“Is Uncle coming back for dinner?”

Lu Sheng asked as she took out the ingredients.

Zeng Zijuan said, “My father usually eats outside. He probably won’t come back to eat.”

“Okay then, I’ll just cook something simple.”

Lu Sheng took out a pineapple, pork ribs to thaw, tofu, and some vegetables.

She steamed rice before starting to cook.

In the end, she made sweet and sour pork ribs with pineapple cubes, vegetable soup with tofu, and a plate of fried rice with shredded meat.

“A top student is indeed a top student. Not only are your results good, but your culinary skills are also so amazing!”

Zeng Zijuan sat at the dining table and sighed as she ate.

She initially still questioned Lu Sheng’s culinary skills. However, when she saw her skilled cooking, she suddenly felt that she did know how to cook.

After tasting her food, she could not help but praise.

Lu Sheng passed the plate of fried rice to Chu Yan before smiling at Zeng Zijuan. “If it’s delicious, eat more.”

“Yes!”

Zeng Zijuan nodded as she ate.

“It’s delicious! This is the best sweet and sour pork ribs I’ve ever eaten.”

As she spoke, she scooped the gravy into the rice and stirred it.

Chu Yan placed a piece of pork ribs into Lu Sheng’s bowl and ate his share silently.

Lu Sheng smiled at him before putting the pork ribs into her mouth and tasting them silently.

Among the three of them, Zeng Zijuan ate the fastest.

In the end, Chu Yan and Lu Sheng ate two bowls of fried rice while Zeng Zijuan ate three.

The three of them were full and had just finished cleaning up when Zeng Fan returned.

“Father.”

Zeng Zijuan stood up and shouted.

Lu Sheng and Chu Yan stood up too.

Zeng Fan nodded and apologized to Lu Sheng and Chu Yan. “Sorry, there was a traffic jam today, so I came back late.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “It’s alright.”

“Take a seat!”

Zeng Fan gestured for the two of them to sit first. He glanced at Chu Yan before sitting down beside Zeng Zijuan.

“To be honest, I invited you here today to ask you about something.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Please speak.”

Zeng Fan sighed softly and said, “It’s like this. The little ghost Wan Li raised at home is said to be my deceased child. I want to ask how the child is now.”

“He’s fine,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “He’s back where he belongs now.”

“Back to where he belongs?” Zeng Fan was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Lu Sheng pondered and said, “Let’s put it this way. When he died, he was taken away by the ghost intermediary. They were the accomplices that Wan Li found. Wan Li raised your son through them as well.”

Zeng Fan frowned. “What’s this ghost intermediary?”
