Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

207 There’s Only One Truth

Xiaoguo turned around and looked at Jiang Danhe. She was thinking the same thing as what he was thinking. The purpose of Magistrate Liu putting in so much effort was to get into Jiang Danhe’s good books. But from the looks of it, the magistrate was probably eyeing for a promotion.

However, Xiaoguo wondered if it would cause Jiang Danhe trouble.

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo was a little hesitant. Since Magistrate Liu was the county magistrate and the head of Yonghai County, his act of coming personally to offer a congratulatory gift during the opening ceremony is very beneficial for the small noodle shop. When the commoners saw that the magistrate was here, they would definitely follow suit and come to eat. This way, it would help to elevate the status of the noodle shop in the hearts of the commoners. In the future, when the commoners bring this up, the first thing they think of would be the noodle shop that the magistrate had come to visit.

However, she didn’t know if this would put Jiang Danhe in a difficult position. After all, from what Xiaoguo knew, he wasn’t the type who would abuse his powers to secure advantages for others

Magistrate Liu really stayed on to wait with them. He hung around after lighting the firecrackers, and only left when the official opening ceremony was over.

In fact, he didn’t want to leave at all. He wanted to get closer to Jiang Danhe. After all, he would have to rely on him in the future. In the end, it was his private advisor who couldn’t stand it anymore, and took the initiative to drag him away.

The private advisor was also under a lot of pressure. Couldn’t the magistrate tell that the general’s face had turned dark? However, he could only blame his master for not being sensitive enough. He was trying so hard to get close to the general that he had pushed the general’s wife to the side. No one would want to have a man hovering around by his side all the time.

Just like that, Magistrate Liu did not appreciate his private advisor’s good intentions and even blamed him for interrupting his interactions with his beloved general.

Having no other choice, the private advisor kept apologizing until the magistrate was willing to let it go.

After the opening ceremony, it was not convenient for Xiaoguo and the others to stay. After all, the restaurant had just opened and the guests were coming in and getting seated.

Initially, Xiaoguo wanted to help out. She was afraid that the shop would get too busy. However, under Qin Anming’s repeated urging, and Ruyi’s assurance about the new shop assistant’s capability, Xiaoguo finally followed Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang home.

Along the way, Zhuang Zhuang kept kissing Xiaoguo. He hung on to her neck, refusing to let go. He also kept talking about what he had eaten and done over the past few days. Along the way, he was afraid that Jiang Danhe would be jealous, so he hugged and kissed him too. After that, he continued to tell them about his experiences.

Jiang Danhe wiped the saliva stains on his face helplessly. He wasn’t jealous of the boy not giving him hugs and kisses. He was more jealous of the fact that Zhuang Zhuang had kissed his wife so many times. He was green with envy. Why wasn’t he the one kissing Xiaoguo instead?

It had only been a few days since Zhuang Zhuang left them, but he was already missing them so much. Xiaoguo didn’t know if she should be happy or not.

When she got home and opened the door, Mrs. Yang was just leaving the house. When she saw Xiaoguo, she opened her mouth with the intention of telling her something, but she stopped when she saw Zhuang Zhuang beside her.

“Zhuang Zhuang, you’re back.”

Mrs. Yang stroked Zhuang Zhuang’s head and said, “Your Brother Xiaohu misses you so much. When he was sleeping, he kept talking about you coming back.”

“Hehe.” Zhuang Zhuang smiled shyly. “Auntie, I miss Brother Xiaohu and Sister Xiaohua too.”

Zhuang Zhuang knew about being fair. If he missed Xiaohu, he should think about Xiaohua as well.

“Yo, this kid is good. He didn’t miss out on anyone.” Mrs. Yang covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhuang Zhuang felt embarrassed and quickly ran back into the house.

Xiaoguo glanced at Jiang Danhe, who nodded and followed closely behind the boy, leaving Xiaoguo alone with Mrs. Yang.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiaoguo asked what was going on. Although Mrs. Yang was quick to change the topic just now, she still noticed it.

“I was looking for you this morning, but I had just barely stepped out of the house when I saw someone behaving sneakily outside your house. He looked like he was trying to break into your house. I shouted and chased him away but I didn’t see who it was.”

When she spoke of this, Mrs. Yang felt that it was a pity. She was still upset with herself for yelling at the person too soon. Otherwise, she would have been able to see the face.

After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, Xiaoguo broke out in cold sweat. “Why did you shout? What if the person turned around to attack you!”

Xiaoguo was a little afraid. Mrs. Yang was sometimes too bold and impulsive.

Mrs. Yang was stunned. She didn’t expect Xiaoguo to get worried about her instead of thinking about her own house. She was touched and she said gently, “It’s fine. Old Yang is at home. Besides, it’s only a few steps. I would have reached home before the person could catch up with me.”

Seeing that Mrs. Yang really didn’t care, Xiaoguo really had to nag at her. She shouldn’t be careless about such things. She had to be extra careful.

After listening to Xiaoguo’s nagging, Mrs. Yang felt a lingering fear in her heart. “Yes, yes. I won’t do it again. It’s really scary now that I think about it.”

Just as Xiaoguo had said, if she had seen the person’s face, he or she might have killed her in order to shut her mouth. And her entire family could have been killed at the doorstep of her house. Now that she thought about it, she really had been too impulsive.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang was aware of the dangers, Xiaoguo started to ask about the person trying to break in.

“Sister-in-law, do you remember what that person looked like?”

“Yes…” Mrs. Yang nodded and tried to recall. “That person was wearing a black outfit. I don’t know what style it was, but the hair looked messy.”

“…Nothing else?” Xiaoguo looked at Mrs. Yang who was nodding. She was stunned. That was it??

According to Mrs. Yang’s description, there was a person prying open the door. Based on his attire, she could only tell that it was a person. There was no other information that she could provide her with.

“It was such a pity.” Mrs. Yang nodded. If she had called out a little later, she would have been able to tell if it was a man or woman.

This was a little difficult. Xiaoguo thought to herself. There was no way to check since they didn’t even know the person’s gender.

“By the way!” Mrs. Yang clapped her hands and suddenly thought of something. “The person did turn around at that time, but I couldn’t tell the skin color from the face. In those few seconds, I couldn’t see anything.”

As soon as Mrs. Yang finished speaking, Xiaoguo was even more confused. She could only tell that it was a human being.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Yang, Xiaoguo returned to the house. She didn’t expect Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang to be waiting for her.

As soon as he saw Xiaoguo, Jiang Danhe asked, “What did Mrs. Yang say to you?”

Xiaoguo sat opposite him and told Jiang Danhe everything that Mrs. Yang had told her.

As expected, his response was the same as Xiaoguo, he was speechless after hearing everything. How could they possibly find out who it was?

They were both wondering who it could be. Zhuang Zhuang was lying on the bed and he fell into deep thoughts while watching his parents.

“Dressed in black, with messy hair and a face of indistinguishable color, it sounded just like that person!”

Zhuang Zhuang shook Jiang Danhe’s hand. Jiang Danhe, who was deep in thought, did not respond. He just patted his head. Zhuang Zhuang got up helplessly and got out of bed to look for Xiaoguo. He also shook her arm.

Xiaoguo thought that Zhuang Zhuang was looking for comfort, so she patted his head and ask him to play on the bed.

Seeing that both of them were ignoring him, Zhuang Zhuang snorted unhappily and jumped onto the bed. With his hands on his hips, he stuck out his round stomach and shouted at them, “I know who it is!”

Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang came back to their senses when they heard the commotion. They saw what Zhuang Zhuang was doing and said, “Take off your shoes!”

Xiaoguo was only concerned about the boy getting into bed with his shoes on. She scolded him sternly. Jiang Danhe helped to take off Zhuang Zhuang’s shoes.

Zhuang Zhuang stood up unhappily from the bed and glared at the two of them. “There’s only one truth!”

His words successfully brought the two of them back to their senses. They looked at each other before turning to look at Zhuang Zhuang together. Jiang Danhe gave him a look, signaling him to tell.

Xiaoguo’s mouth was agape. Looking at the smug Zhuang Zhuang, she thought of a character.

…Mr. Conan??
