Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

The lies crumbled on their own.

Zhang Shuci just felt his heart was blocked, with a feeling of being deceived.

Then his feelings for Shen Yaoyao changed from previous affection to a trace of disgust.

Such a person is not even as good as those who deliberately flatter him after knowing his identity.

Thinking about the fact that he had even given her gifts, Zhang Shuci felt even more blocked inside.

He didn’t really care about those things, but felt deceived, and the person who deceived him turned from gentle and generous to hideous.

Meanwhile, Shen Yaoyao was also filled with unease.

She was unsure if Zhang Shuci had believed her.

Not long ago, she was still immersed in her private space with Zhang Shuci, but now she had to face reality in this kitchen filled with the smell of cooking.

Not only that, she even got scolded.

Scolded by a woman who claimed to be a housekeeper but was actually just a maid!

She called her a wild girl with no manners!

Shen Yaoyao forced these feelings of anger down, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and tears began to fall unconsciously.

Without parents, she had never experienced much warmth in the world, and no one considered her future prospects. Just moments ago, she was on the verge of advancing her relationship with Zhang Shuci, but Jiang Lai ruined it!

"Jiang Lai, did you do it on purpose?"

She sobbed as she spoke these words, and the assistants in the kitchen, seeing the situation, began to comfort her without much care.

"Oh, why are you crying? Can’t it be talked over calmly?"

"Yes, young lady, talk it over peacefully, don’t cry, you two are still sisters."

Jiang Lai turned to them with a smile and then calmly replied.

"I know, I’ll talk it over with her calmly, oh... you, Dad clearly said not to wander around yet you insist on doing so, getting caught and scolded a bit was already light; at least they didn’t kick you out or hold it against you.

Now you’re here crying, asking if I did it on purpose, how could I do it on purpose?

I couldn’t possibly stand by after you’ve caused trouble and have Dad follow in misfortune, right?"

With these words, those people immediately changed their stance.

"Indeed, you’re at fault, wandering around in the director’s house, never mind if something breaks, if something were stolen at home, you wouldn’t even be able to clean up the mess!"

"Such a grown child should know better, your dad worked so hard to arrange this job, and you should stay here and work honestly instead of wandering around recklessly, it really is inappropriate!"

Shen Yaoyao was almost driven to the edge by their chatter.

How did it all become her fault?

She just took a glance in the backyard, how did it seem like she violated some heavenly rule!

Just because she had no background or backing, anyone could scold and lecture her.

A bunch of snobbish people!

Just knew how to bully her, an unsupported orphan!

Jiang Lai looked at her, then suddenly asked.

"What do you have in your pocket? It’s so heavy, is it a stone?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoyao instinctively clutched her pocket tightly, trying to stay calm.

"It’s nothing, it has nothing to do with you!"

Through this incident, she realized that Jiang Lai was not as pure and kind as she appeared! On the contrary, she was deep-minded and had always been jealous of her.

That’s why she deliberately came to create trouble.

Upon understanding this, Shen Yaoyao gritted her teeth, determined not to let Jiang Lai succeed.

The more Jiang Lai behaved this way, the stronger she had to be.

She wanted Jiang Lai to see clearly that no matter how much jealousy or sabotage she threw, she could still easily surpass her.

Thinking this, she wiped her tears and stared at Jiang Lai before saying,

"Stop pretending, because I already know what kind of person you are."

"Hmm, really impressive, so what do you plan to do?"

Shen Yaoyao was so angry she couldn’t speak.

She simply stopped talking, deciding to let her actions smack Jiang Lai’s face hard, shutting her up forever!

Jiang Hai returned, with a solemn look on his face as if pondering over something.

It was likely that he had encountered some issue during the discussion with the factory director’s wife.

Shen Yaoyao proactively asked.

"Uncle, is there a problem you’ve encountered?"

"The host family requested a dish that I’ve never made before, I’m not sure if I can handle it well."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoyao’s heart stirred.

She recalled talking with Zhang Shuci earlier in the backyard when he mentioned that his mother liked eating Western cuisine.

At that time, hardly anyone had tasted such things.

Jiang Hai had never made it either.

So she roughly guessed that this was the difficulty he faced.

Sure enough, Jiang Hai sighed and said,

"It needs to have that taste without causing any gossip behind our backs, it’s difficult."

With such a tight situation now, Western things are too sensitive, yet cooking Western dishes requires Jiang Hai to bear any potential blame.

Shen Yaoyao thought for a moment.

"Uncle, why don’t you let me try, I’ve heard others talk about it, I think I can manage."

Zhang Shuci mentioned a dish called grilled steak, which sounded like just grilling beef and adding seasoning, nothing too difficult.

"Dad, when I was working odd jobs at the restaurant with that old chef, he mentioned a dish - Western cuisine introduced to our country, loved by the dignitaries back then.

I can give it a try too."

Jiang Hai looked at both sides, each having broader experiences than him, and after hesitating for a moment.

"Fine, you both take some ingredients to try it out, but we only have this much meat, use it sparingly and don’t waste it."

There were many vegetables in the kitchen, as well as various meats, but not much beef.

Because at that time, few people ate beef; cows were major agricultural resources and wouldn’t be slaughtered for meat. The beef on the table now probably could only be afforded by the factory director’s family.

Shen Yaoyao took a whole block and looked back at Jiang Lai.

"Sorry, I need all this meat."

"Then use it."

After all, she didn’t need beef.

With that, Jiang Lai took a piece of pork tenderloin and started working on the side.

The kitchen was bustling with preparations.

Nearing mealtime, the cold dishes were ready to be served anytime.

This time, there were two tables of guests, prepared based on a serving size for ten people each.

Jiang Hai, being adept, finished serving the cold dishes and started with the hot dishes.

People were coming and going, too busy to handle everything, so Jiang Lai and Shen Yaoyao helped in serving dishes.

Jiang Hai’s culinary skills were impeccable; the taste, aroma, and appearance quickly emptied each dish.

As Jiang Lai brought the tray to the table, she looked up to see a somewhat familiar face.

Upon closer look, she recognized it.

Isn’t that the little mute?

His name was Lin Gao.

That made sense; after all, the factory director was his uncle, sitting at the same table wasn’t surprising.

Lin Gao kept his head down, but when Jiang Lai looked at him, he suddenly lifted his head.

Apparently not expecting to see someone he knew there, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

But quickly, he resumed his usual calm demeanor.

Every time Jiang Lai served food, she could see him, noticing a middle-aged woman sitting next to Lin Gao constantly picking food for him.
