Everyone at the exquisite dining table was surprised upon seeing the dishes with silver lids. These lids covered the food as well as its odor.
"I can't believe that I have a chance to taste Kexin's cooking in this life," Chen Derong said excitedly.
Upon hearing that, Chen Kexin was displeased. She twitched her mouth and said, "What do you mean, dad? None of these dishes are prepared for you."
"Ah? Why? How can you do this to me? Come on, your dad has been waiting for this day all his life," Chen Derong said somewhat grumpily.
Chen Kexin smiled and ignored him. Now everyone got a whiff of the dishes, which was a very strange smell. Yes, it was very strange. It smelled different from all the other dishes. It smelt a little sour, a little sweet and then a little burnt.
"Dear aunts, I've told you that I have a request. As long as I cook something for you, you'll have to eat it up. You said that you wanted to taste my cooking, so please help yourself now," said Chen Kexin.
The aunts looked quite relaxed now, as they thought that Chen Kexin was just trying to make peace with them. Considering her mother's failure to defeat them, they believed that Chen Kexin knew that she had to bow to their power. With this in mind, they put on an air of importance, and the eldest aunt nodded while saying, "Of course, I'll eat whatever you cook." As the food did not smell very bad, they thought that it would be alright for them to eat it up.
Chen Kexin smirked and asked the maids to serve the dishes.
Chen Keren gracefully picked up her napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, waiting to see what was going to happen. She looked at Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin. The former was trying his best to suppress his laughter, and the latter was smirking unpleasantly.
"Take the lids off," Chen Kexin said gladly.
When the five servants took the lids off simultaneously, everyone in the hall was stunned. As the strong, unpleasant smell drifted throughout the air, all the people in the hall held their noses.
This was not food. It smelled like sulfur, and it reminded everyone of a murder scene at a wasted factory.
When everyone finally calmed down to look at the dishes, they realized that it was rice with stir-fried egg and tomato on top.
All the five graceful aunts looked somber and started to frown now. Upon seeing the shit-like food, they felt nauseous.
"Dear aunts, my dishes look bad but taste good. I've already tasted the food for you, and I believe that you probably have never eaten something like this before. Technically, it's not a dish. Most people call it rice served with meat or vegetables on top. What I made for you is rice with stir-fried egg and tomato on top. Try it." Chen Kexin explained patiently as if she knew a lot about cooking.
Wang Weixi gloated over the aunts' misfortune. It was him who had brought Chen Kexin to eat rice with stir-fried egg and tomato on top when they had gone out on a date about a month before their wedding.
Chen Derong also secretly took pleasure in his sisters' misfortune and thought happily, "Well, Kexin is still my sweet daughter, although she's not happy with what I did before. I thought that she would never forgive me, but now it looks like she still cares about me and doesn't want to make me eat such things."
The aunts felt hesitant. They did not want to eat the food made by Chen Kexin, but they felt ashamed to break their promises in front of so many people.
"My dear aunts, what're you waiting for?" Chen Kexin asked and eagerly blinked her cute big eyes at her aunts.
The five women had no choice but to pick up their spoons. They stirred the rice while looking at one another, seemingly ready to fight until death. In Wang Weixi's eyes, they looked as if they were faced with a serious menace.
