Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Bai Rongrong’s Darkening

*

Bai Su never expected Bai Rongrong to come looking for her.

Her audacity was simply beyond imagination.

Her restaurant was nearing closing time for the season, and the snow on the mountaintop was falling thicker.

Even so, the crowds only grew larger.

That was when Bai Rongrong made her way up the mountain.

She was dumbfounded when she saw the long line.

The line even included many nobles, earls, and influential figures from the Imperial City’s military.

It made sense. Ever since Lu Tingyan had debuted Bai Su at the Yan Family’s birthday banquet, these people had naturally caught the scent and flocked here.

They were all sharp; no one was a fool.

Bai Rongrong was incredibly grateful she had taken the time to dress up so nicely today.

The thought that she was related to Bai Su made her straighten her spine, and she glided gracefully past the crowd.

The people in line couldn’t help but crane their necks to watch her. "Why isn’t she getting in line?"

"Who’s that?"

"Which family’s young female is that? First time here? Doesn’t she know the rules?"

Someone called out to stop her. "Miss, you need to get in line."

This was exactly what Bai Rongrong had been waiting for. She turned gracefully, looked at the person, and said in a gentle tone, "Oh, the owner here is my sister. I’m here to see her, not to eat."

Upon hearing this, everyone had a moment of realization and sheepishly fell silent.

A wave of smugness washed over Bai Rongrong.

’See? I’m not like them. They have to wait in line, but I don’t.’

When Bai Rongrong reached the entrance, Kong Ji stopped her. "Miss, please go to the back of the line."

Bai Rongrong gave him a gentle look. "Go tell Susu that her sister, Bai Rongrong, is here to see her."

Kong Ji paused for a moment before letting her in. "Alright, one moment."

As Bai Rongrong entered the courtyard, a wave of fragrant aroma washed over her.

She froze, her mouth watering reflexively.

But when she saw the tables of guests using serving utensils to take food from the same platters, she couldn’t help but feel a flicker of disgust.

’Eating and talking, their spit mixing on the platters...’

’How disgusting.’

’And it’s so loud and chaotic. It’s like a refugee camp.’

Kong Ji led her to the kitchen.

Bai Rongrong approached with feigned affection. "Sister, I had no idea your restaurant was this big! I should have come to visit sooner."

Bai Su shot her a look. "Spit it out. I’m busy."

Bai Rongrong had expected this attitude, but the smile never left her face. "Sister, I came to give you an invitation! Lady Zhu Li is hosting a tea party at her residence in two days. I managed to get an invitation, and I came specifically to invite you to go with me."

Bai Su: "I’m busy. I’m not going."

Bai Rongrong froze. ’How could any female possibly dislike a high-society tea party?’

She glanced at the frantically busy Bai Su, looking all disheveled, and couldn’t help a scornful thought. ’Bai Su has probably never even been to a tea party. Has she ever seen anything of the world?’

She explained to Bai Su, as if doing her a favor, "Lady Zhu Li is a very high-ranking female, you know. Her family holds a hereditary title. She’s incredibly distinguished..."

Bai Su rolled her eyes. "How distinguished? Is she more distinguished than me, the Leader’s Wife?"

Bai Rongrong was left speechless. ’Lady Zhu Li is a born noble,’ she thought, ’elegant and poised, a paragon for all females in the Empire. What the hell is Bai Su? A backwater female who was exiled. Every single move she makes reeks of the common rabble.’

But she couldn’t find a way to argue with Bai Su’s words, so she could only force a stiff smile. "I suppose not."

Without looking back, Bai Su brought out a tureen of Pork Stomach and Chicken Soup with Ginseng and Goji Berries and handed it to Bablo. "There you have it, then."
