Chapter 34: The Takeout Food

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Bojian sent a message.

[What do you want to eat tonight?]

After thinking for a moment, she replied to him seriously.

[It depends on my dad.]

Song Bojian couldn’t help chuckling when he saw it.

[How’s grandma?]

[I’ve already arranged for specialists to organize another consultation tomorrow. If it works out well, I won’t consider transferring grandma to another hospital.]

She could not help but sigh when seeing his reply. It was good to be rich. He could find specialists as many as he wished even in an ordinary hospital. She stayed in bed for another while and heard her parents talking outside.

“Your daughter hasn’t woken up yet? She’s been sleeping for a whole day. Did the sandman come?” Yun Xiaofang was a little impatient.

Qi Sheng said, “Let her sleep a little longer. I wonder how late she worked at the company yesterday. She must be really tired…”

“What kind of job is that? She kept staying late at work. No wonder there were always sudden deaths of young people reported on the news. If this continues, your daughter will also be in danger.”

Qi Sheng couldn’t hear it anymore. “Pfft! How can you say that about your own child?”

Hearing her parents’ argument, Qi Mei could not continue to lie down anymore. She got out of bed, opened the door, and walked out.

“You’re up?” Qi Sheng was a little surprised and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

Qi Mei just ate a sandwich given by Song Bojian during the day and was starving. She said, “Anything will do. I’m so hungry, Dad.”

Seeing her act coquettishly, Qi Sheng said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll go cook for you now.”

“You didn’t go home last night?” asked Yun Xiaofang directly.

“Something happened.” Qi Mei yawned. She didn’t know if she should tell her parents about Grandma Xiao’s illness.

“Even if something really happened, shouldn’t you have told us in advance?” Yun Xiaofang lectured. “If I hadn’t knocked on your door this morning, we wouldn’t have known it! What do you want to do for staying out all night?”

“Mom, I’m already 28 years old. You said that I’m going to be 30 soon. I’m not a child anymore,” Qi Mei said helplessly. However, when she saw her mother’s expression, she immediately apologized, “Fine, I’m sorry. I definitely won’t do it next time.”

Seeing Qi Mei cave in, Yun Xiaofang couldn’t say anything more. She gave a snort and then went silent.

About half an hour later, Qi Sheng finished cooking and asked his wife and daughter to eat.

Qi Mei went to get the bowls and chopsticks when she heard the doorbell ring.

As the only person who had nothing to do, Yun Xiaofang naturally went to open the door.

“Takeout? We didn’t order any takeout food. Did you get the wrong address?” Yun Xiaofang asked at the door.

Qi Mei filing bowls with rice was slightly stunned. An unbelievable thought flashed through her mind. She quickly put down the bowl and ran to the door. “It’s mine!”

“Are you Miss Qi?”

“Yes, it’s me. Thank you.” Qi Mei quickly took it.

“When did you order a takeout?” Yun Xiaofang looked puzzled.

“Just now, I suddenly wanted to eat it.” Qi Mei blinked. She took the bag to the dining table and opened it. There was tender beef, two servings of bird’s nest, and sea cucumber porridge in separate takeout boxes.

The bird’s nest was for her and her mother, and the sea cucumber porridge for her father. No prizes for guessing who sent these things.

“Why did you order such expensive food?” Yun Xiaofang could tell at a glance that these dishes were expensive.

“Didn’t you say that my body can’t hold up anymore? I’m trying to nourish my body.”

Yun Xiaofang was speechless.

Qi Sheng was a little anxious. “I’ve cooked for you. This is too much…”

“Leave what you made aside. We should eat the takeout food first.” Yun Xiaofang made a prompt decision. After all, this was expensive and could not be wasted.

After eating for a while, Yun Xiaofang did not forget to ask, “How much did you spend on this?”

Qi Mei did not dare to say anything, afraid that if she told a high price, Yun Xiaofang would think that she was crazy, but if she told a low one, Yun Xiaofang definitely wouldn’t believe it.

“Just eat it. Take it as an early celebration for my promotion.” Qi Mei made up an excuse.

“Wow, you got promoted?” Qi Sheng said in surprise.

Qi Mei nodded. “My former superior left. The boss is preparing to let me take over his position as the company’s chief architect.”

His parents were also very happy about this. She was promoted anyway. She wouldn’t be so tired in the future, right? However, Yun Xiaofang suddenly thought of something and reminded her, “Next month will be your grandmother’s 80th birthday. Your uncle and aunt said that they wanted to give it big celebrations this year. When the time comes, remember to bring Yin Ziyuan along with you…”

Qi Mei watched Yun Xiaofang drink the bird’s nest and eat the tender beef bought by Song Bojian and talk about Yin ZIyuan at the same time. It was quite unfair to Song Bojian.
