With a panicked and frightened heart, Xiaoying returned to her residence and rushed directly into the bathroom...... Maybe taking a shower will calm your mind a little bit.

Xiao Ying has rented a cheap room near the restaurant with the help of Master Wu, except for a single chuang is only a water heater, there is nothing else, and the house is very old and narrow, so the rent is only 600 yuan, Xiao Ying can barely afford it...... It was Master Wu who paid the rent for her first, but in fact, she didn't think about asking Xiaoying to repay the money, but according to Xiaoying's character, she would definitely want to pay back the money to the master first after receiving the salary.

Having a place to live and a space of your own, no matter how humble it is, is still better than sleeping at the dining table in the dining room.

Concrete floor, white and yellowed walls, a light on the top that is not too bright, a small single chuang and a bathroom so small that it can only accommodate one person, this is Xiaoying's current home. The living conditions were poor, not even the place where she used to live in a small country town. If it is compared with the Fan's Mansion, it is even more different. But for Xiaoying at this stage, it would be good to have such a humble place to live.

In the bathroom, the sound of rushing water is sounding, and a round mirror is hung on the wall, clearly reflecting Xiaoying's body, and those deep and shallow scars are her most unforgettable pain.

In addition to her face and forehead, Xiaoying also has some scars on her body, but rubbing ordinary medicine has no effect, and she can only do scar removal surgery in the future. Every time I see the scars on my body, it is a kind of Ling Chi for Xiaoying's soul, her body and skin were originally as smooth and flawless as beautiful jade, but now they are destroyed by these scars......

In the dense water vapor, Xiao Ying stood under the head of the lotus shower, tilted her head and let the warm water rush from head to foot, only for this moment, her heart could be relaxed for a short time, but soon the figure of Van Di would involuntarily appear in her mind, as well as what he said tonight. He actually took off her mask, and at that thrilling moment, Xiaoying really thought that she was exposed and had nothing to hide, but fortunately, under the cover of the night, fortunately, her potential exploded at that time, and she was lucky enough to escape from Fandi's hands. But what about later? Van Di knew that she was the one who was peeping outside the mansion, how would he clean her up? Will you just go to the restaurant and arrest her?

It's really a narrow road, I don't want to be entangled with Fandi but I want to be caught by him, what should she do now?

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Ying's heart, and she even thought about leaving here overnight, but the person who was most sorry for doing so was Master Wu. If she really ran away secretly, Chef Wu would definitely be disappointed and angry, and it would be difficult for her to have the opportunity to learn cooking from Chef Wu again. It was a big road to the light, because she met Master Wu, the teacher, so Xiao Ying found the direction of the road, but if she gave up now, she would not only be sorry for Master Wu, but also for herself. After suffering so much, struggling hard until now, seeing that there is new hope in life, how can you give up halfway?

But if he doesn't leave, he can't avoid confronting Vandi head-on, how will he clean up a person who goes to peep outside the mansion? She didn't have any bottom in her heart. And the worst possible is to be recognized by him......

After several contradictions and struggles, and several ideological struggles, Xiaoying finally decided to stay here and stay in the restaurant to learn the craft from Master Wu as an apprentice. If the most unfortunate queen was really unfortunate to be recognized by Fandi, she wouldn't be able to care so much. No matter what, she can't give up learning to cook, that's the only skill she has that will allow her to gain a foothold in the culinary world in the future.

When she came out of the bathroom, Xiaoying's hair hadn't dried yet, and she had to take advantage of this time. Take out a few white radishes to practice chopping vegetables, and while practicing, carefully recall what Master Wu taught today, where are the essentials, and what is the focus......

Xiaoying's memory is very good, she doesn't need to write it in a notebook to remember it clearly. And Master Wu wouldn't ask her to write it down with a pen. Chef Wu said that the essence of real cooking skills and the master's unique skills are not recorded in a book, but the master's face-to-face teaching to his apprentices, passed on orally and memorized.

At this stage, Master Wu has not given Xiaoying too complicated things, and now the focus is on consolidating Xiaoying's cooking foundation, some of the most basic skills, Master Wu asked Xiaoying to strengthen her practice, such as in addition to practicing cutting vegetables in the restaurant every day, how many shredded radishes should be cut, and the length and thickness of the cut are strictly required, and so on...... This is the foundation of the foundation, don't look at it as a simple craft, but if you practice it to the extreme, there will be unexpected results.

Xiaoying is a very down-to-earth person, and she does whatever the master tells her to practice. Sometimes I will take a break until my hands are soft and shaking. Her diligence and hard work may only be known to Master Wu. Everyone who moves forward on the path of sticking to their dreams is bound to go through a lonely and difficult period. There is no praise, no one confides in their hearts, and all the bitterness can only be held by themselves, repeating simple and boring things every day. It's not just about exercising your skills, it's also about exercising your heart.

Only by suffering more than others, being more diligent and working harder, can one day in the future be able to stand higher and farther.

Xiao Ying was deeply encouraged by Chef Wu to practice chopping vegetables every night after work, and when she was so tired that her hands cramped, when she couldn't hold on, she would think that the master was just a handyman in the kitchen back then, and she had gone through a lot of hardships to create a senior technician in the culinary world. What the master can do, why can't she yearn for it? Even if she can't reach the same heights as a chef in the end, at least she will have no problem working as a chef in a high-end restaurant in the future......

People who are in adversity* can only win a little sympathy and pity from others, and those who struggle to move forward in the dark swamp, never admit defeat and never give up the pursuit of light, are the most touching and admirable. Xiaoying, a girl from a small country town, is being tempered into steel step by step.

This* is destined to be sleepless. Not only Xiaoying, but even Fandi was also affected, lying on the chuang for a long time and unable to fall asleep...... What is the attempt of the mask woman, why do you want to peep into the mansion? What does her face look like under that mask? Is it really disfigured, that's why you need to wear a mask?

Fan Di didn't realize that he had been affected by the appearance of the mask woman, and when he thought of her slipping away, he was angry, thinking about how to repair this woman the next time he went to Shuxiang. In the game of cat and mouse, of course, he has to catch mice as a cat. It's no wonder that Fandi, his life after Xiaoying left has become too monotonous and boring, and there seems to be no one and nothing that can arouse his attention and interest, except for the recent situation of Shui Han and Little Lemon, of course.

So now there is a mask girl, the whole person is weird, she broke into his sight when Fandi was most inadvertent, and the most important thing is to sneak away after peeping outside the mansion and being discovered by Fandi, Fandi can't pay attention to her if she wants to......

Thoughts flew in his head, and after the phone vibrated a few times, Van Di picked it up, it was Luo Qishan.

Lotisan explained to Van Di about the presence of her third aunt and cousin at dinner tonight. This time, her attitude was very sincere, and she did not have the slightest arrogance of Miss Qianjin, giving people the feeling of being very sincere. Fandi accepted her explanation, but the tone between the two spoke respectfully, without the sweetness and warmth of the fiancé. For this, Luo Qishan is also very helpless, she actually wants to come directly to the Fan's Mansion, but thinking of the temper of Fandi, she came rashly, just afraid that it will make him disgusted. He didn't blame her for tonight's events, it was already her surprise.

Van Di didn't blame Luo Qishan for dragging him to dinner, she had her reasons, and his attitude towards Lu Zhehao's mother and sister would not change because of Luo Qishan's reasons.

However, Van Di is always Van Di, and whoever he hates never needs to be hidden.

Towards the end of the call, Van Di said lightly: "Luo Qishan, at the wedding banquet, I don't want to see your third aunt's family. As for the reason, you should know the truth, and I don't need to repeat it. Can you do this? ”

On the other end of the phone, Luo Qishan gasped, clenched her palms, clenched her silver teeth, and after a short hesitation, she finally hummed, which was an answer to Fandi.

"Very good, a woman is decisive and has the demeanor of an heir, very good." Fandi rarely praised Lokishan, but this is not an exaggeration. It would take a lot of courage and courage for Luo Qishan to decide not to invite the third aunt's family to the wedding banquet.

Luo Qishan smiled happily: "Fandi, are you praising your future wife?" This is the first time you have praised me, I will accept it unceremoniously, in the future, we get along more, you will find more advantages in me. ”

"......" Fan Di thought to himself, this woman is really straightforward enough, but he still felt a little awkward when he heard the word "wife" come out of her mouth.

The next day.

Xiaoying went to work as usual, still wearing a mask, rustic clothes, and bangs to cover the scar on her forehead. Everything was the same as usual, there was no movement, from noon in the morning to the evening, Xiaoying spent the day in anxiety, she couldn't help but think, maybe she was too worried, Fandi is not such a stingy person, there has been no movement all day, is he not going to pursue her?

If so, great!

But when it was almost eight o'clock, Xiaoying suddenly received a phone call...... That's right, it's Xiaoying's phone.

Yanhong answered, and when she handed the phone to Xiaoying, Yanhong's eyes looked very disdainful and puzzled. Someone actually called Xiaoying, and it was a man, a young man, and his voice was good to hear!

Xiao Ying took the phone with suspicion, only to hear a familiar male voice in her ears, lazy and evil: "Pack me a pot of pork and sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as shredded cabbage, all of which must be fried by you yourself and sent to the Fan's Mansion, you must deliver it yourself, otherwise you will not pay." Well, you came last night, so I won't repeat it...... If it is not delivered within an hour, the Shu fragrance restaurant will definitely close tomorrow. ”

"......" Xiaoying was stunned, and before she could react, the other party had already hung up the phone. Such a "hateful" and domineering man, who else could he be besides Fandi?
