Chapter 1224
Melody Fox looked at Le Qing and heard her say, ” Tomorrow, I will hold a small fashion show. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, can you do me the honor of attending?”
There must be a reason for Le Qing to be so enthusiastic about her.
Melody Fox opened her mouth to refuse. “I just got home today. I still have some things to deal with. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go tomorrow. Thank you for your invitation, but I’m really sorry…”
Le Qing nodded and turned to Margaret Swanson with an aggrieved expression. “Margaret, look, I knew Sister Melody wouldn’t play with me.”
“How could that be? Melody is the kindest person.”
“Then help me talk about it. I really hope that Sister Melody can come and support me. I’ve seen Sister Melody’s embroidery work online. I really hope that she can come and give me some pointers.”
Margaret Swanson saw that Le Qing was looking forward to it and felt embarrassed not to help.
She could only say to Melody Fox, “Melody, what do you have to do tomorrow? If there’s nothing important, why don’t you reject it? Go play and relax. I see that you’re busy all day. That’s not good. People have to relax for once in a while.”
Melody Fox pretended to be troubled. “Grandma, I want to go and relax too, but I haven’t been back to the clinic for a long time. I really can’t go.”
“Sigh.” Le Qing sighed. “Forget it. If Sister Melody doesn’t want to go, forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. It’s because I’m not capable enough and don’t deserve Sister Melody’s guidance.”
Margaret Swanson was a little embarrassed.
“We’re all family. What’s there to be compatible with? Melody, just go and watch the show. It won’t cost you much.
Besides, your clinic can open normally when you’re not around. There’s no reason for you to have to deal with many things when you’re back. If you’re really busy, you can go after watching the show.”
Since Margaret Swanson had already said so much, Melody Fox knew that if she continued to refuse, she would probably make Margaret Swanson unhappy.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody Fox simply nodded and agreed. “Alright then. I wonder where the exact location and time is?”
Le Qing beamed and said, “In the conference hall on the first floor of Hotel Silverlake, the time is at three in the afternoon.”
Melody Fox took a deep look at Le Qing. She knew very well that this might be a banquet.
However, she had never been afraid of trouble. At most, she would deal with whatever came her way.
If Le Qing insisted on finding trouble with her, there would be a next time even if she avoided it this time.
She might as well go and see what Le Qing was up to.
Thinking of this, Melody Fox nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll be there.”
“That’s great!” Le Qing clapped her hands happily, like an inexperienced child who had obtained the candy she had been longing for.
Margaret Swanson shook her head.
“You’re still like a child after so many years. You’re about to reach the age of marriage. At least you have to be more mature in your actions. Otherwise, you’ll be bullied by your mother-in-law in the future!”
Le Qing was used to acting cute. She hugged Margaret Swanson’s arm and said, “I don’t want to become mature. Anyway, if I really suffer any grievances, I’ll come to you. You’ll definitely stand up for me, right?”
Margaret Swanson enjoyed the feeling of having a young woman by her side.
She touched Le Qing’s forehead lovingly. “Alright, as long as I’m around, no one will dare to bully you!”
Le Qing smiled and said, “It is getting late. I won’t disturb you from talking to Sister Melody. I’ll come and see you another day.”
“It’s already time for dinner. Let’s eat before leaving.”
“This…” Le Qing pretended to be troubled as she looked at Melody Fox.
Melody Fox smiled and went along with Margaret Swanson’s words. “Grandma is right. Since it’s already mealtime, you might as well eat before leaving. There are plenty of times that I talked to Grandma. There’s no need for ceremony.”
Le Qing looked embarrassed.
“Then I’ll shamelessly stay for a meal.”
“What’s there to be thick-skinned about? I can’t wait for a few more people to eat with me. If you want to eat anything, just tell Lucy Colt and ask Lucy Colt to instruct the kitchen to cook.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Le Qing thought about it and said, “Actually, I want to eat pasta. The pasta overseas is different from the pasta in our country. After I came back, there were too many dinners. They were all fish and meat. I haven’t eaten pasta yet. Don’t laugh at me. I really haven’t eaten pasta in a few years.”
“Why would I laugh at you? The food left behind by our ancestors is naturally much better than those foreign hamburgers!”
Maria Fox said to Lucy Colt, “Go tell the kitchen to make pasta with a few different fillings.”
“Wait…” Le Qing hugged Maria Fox’s arm and said, “Actually, I just saw a piece of news these two days. It said that many people have been queuing up early in the morning to eat Sister Melody’s pasta. I don’t know if I have the honor today to try Sister Melody’s pasta.”
Melody Fox was not stupid. It was obvious that he wanted her to work.

Melody Fox could not even maintain his smile.
However, Margaret Swanson was the only relative that Ken Swanson cared about. She did not want Margaret to have a bad impression of her.
This was the so-called ‘love the house and the crow’. Therefore, even if he was unhappy, Melody Fox still said, “I’m just making a few pasta. Since you want to eat them, I’ll make a few for you to try.”
“Yay!” Le Qing was elated.
However, to their surprise, Margaret Swanson suddenly said, “It’s the same with the kitchen. The people in the kitchen learn from Melody every time he cooks. They have more or less learned some essence. Your Melody sister just got off the plane and needs to rest. If you really want to taste her handmade pasta, I’ll call you over the next time she makes pasta.”
Margaret Swanson said this with a smile, but his tone was very unyielding.
The smile on Le Qing’s face instantly stiffened.
But in the blink of an eye, Le Qing regained her natural expression.
She knocked her head and said, “Look at me. In order to eat pasta, I actually forgot that Sister Melody had just gotten off the plane. Sister Melody, I’ll apologize to you. Please forgive my brainlessness! I really like to eat too much. My friends call me a foodie.”
“It’s fine. It’s not your fault. I’ll help you keep an eye on the kitchen in case the pasta they made doesn’t suit your taste.”
Melody Fox said to Maria Fox, “Grandma, I’m going to the kitchen. Remember to open the gift. There are a lot of snacks in spaghetti. You can fill your stomach before dinner is ready.”
“Alright, if you’re too tired, don’t worry about it. Your health is the most important.”
“Okay.” Melody Fox nodded and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.
