Chapter 1227
Le Qing subconsciously began to think deeply. From what Margaret Swanson said just now, did he want to match her with Ulric Swanson?
Le Qing’s thoughts gradually became complicated. However, the morality in her heart told her that she could not continue thinking about it.
Similarly, Margaret Swanson was still chanting Ulric Swanson. “Your mother is no longer around. I will definitely take good care of your marriage. There are many girls who are better than her. Why bother with her alone? I’ve lived for so long, and I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten. From my experience, she’s definitely not a good match for you.” Margaret Swanson said confidently.
Le Qing could not help but stare at Ulric Swanson to see how he would respond.
However, Ulric Swanson still had the same expression as before. His expression did not change at all. He even smiled and said, “I know Grandma treats me well.”
It was such a vague excuse again.
Le Qing lowered her head.
“Oh, right.” Margaret Swanson remembered that Le Qing was still present, so she changed the topic and said, “Your sister-in-law is back.”
It took Ulric Swanson a moment to realize that Margaret Swanson was talking about Melody Fox.
A complicated look flashed across his eyes as he asked, ” Why don’t I see Sister-in-law? Where is she?”
“In the kitchen. You know your sister-in-law’s culinary skills. You’re in for a treat. Consider yourself lucky.”
“Then I’ll go and see Sister-in-law.”
After Ulric Swanson finished speaking, he did not wait for Margaret Swanson to speak and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Melody Fox did not plan to do it herself.
Instead, she verbally instructed the chef.
“This green onion needs to be chopped up a little more. The fragrance will only be stronger when hot oil is poured on it…
As she spoke, she felt a gaze staring at her.
She subconsciously turned her head and met Ulric Swanson’s gaze.
“Sister-in-law is back? Why didn’t Brother come back with you?”
The corners of Ulric Swanson’s lips curled up slightly. Without waiting for Melody Fox to answer, he said again, Congratulations on getting into Insterimond University. From now on, you’re no longer a graduate of Nobuyako University.”
Melody Fox had an indifferent expression.
Although she didn’t go to a prestigious university in the past, it was still a proper school.
Ulric Swanson emphasized this because he wanted to ridicule her.
“If you want to mock me with this, save your energy.”
Ulric Swanson took two steps forward.
“Sister-in-law, why do you always misunderstand me? I’m here to congratulate you sincerely.”
“I’ve received your congratulations. You can leave now.”
Melody Fox frowned. The disdain in her eyes was undisguised.
Ulric Swanson felt uncomfortable.
It was as if from the first time he met her, Melody Fox had often looked at him with such disdain as if he was a rat in a ditch.
He clenched his fists tightly, but after a moment, he loosened them again and said with a faint smile, “Sister-in-law, you really shined during this trip to Insterimond. Not only did you get into Insterimond University, but you also saved the people from the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce… I wonder where Sister-in-law learned these things? I’m really curious…”
Until now, he had yet to find out Melody Fox’s true identity. He firmly believed that Melody Fox was definitely not an ordinary village girl who grew up in the countryside.
If not for her other identity, how could she have so many skills?
If he had known earlier…
Ulric Swanson thought that he might be able to win Melody Fox over to his side in the beginning, but he missed this opportunity and chose Mabel Fox. It was as if ten thousand ants were crawling in his heart.
Melody Fox ignored Ulric Swanson’s question and continued to instruct the chef.
“The bamboo shoots must be chopped into bamboo shoots…”
She acted as if Ulric Swanson was not present.
The veins on Ulric Swanson’s forehead twitched twice.
However, with so many chefs and helpers present, he could not flare up. He could only smile and say, “Then I’ll wait for Sister-in-law’s cooking outside.” Then, he returned to the living room.
After Ulric Swanson left, Melody Fox could not help but look at the door.
According to Ulric Swanson’s personality, he should not have brainlessly come to her and said these words.
This could only mean that Ulric Swanson was starting to get nervous.
His current situation was probably very bad.
Melody Fox curled her lips. This was exactly what she wanted.
Ulric Swanson walked out of the kitchen and took a few deep breaths to recover from the anger of being ignored by Melody Fox.
He had to remain calm and not let his emotions get the better of him.
After a while, Ulric Swanson returned to his original state and returned to Maria Fox’s side.
However, at that instance, another car sounded.
Soon, a deep voice was heard.
“Grandma…”
A few of them looked towards the door.
A tall man walked in with steady steps.
Ken Swanson was wearing a gray windbreaker and a white shirt. His buttons were buttoned up meticulously.
When he saw Ulric Swanson and Le Qing in the living room, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he walked forward and continued to greet Margaret Swanson.
“Grandma, I’m back.”
Margaret Swanson couldn’t care less about Mabel Fox’s topic just now. She was beaming with joy.
“You’re finally back. Why are you so late? Melody is already back.”
Ulric Swanson raised his eyelids and quickly returned to normal.
Ken Swanson said, “I went back to the company to settle some matters, so I asked Melody to come back and rest first.”
As he spoke, he looked around the living room again and asked, “Where is the Melody?”
“She’s in the kitchen.”
Ken Swanson immediately frowned. “Why is she in the kitchen?”
“Well…”
Margaret Swanson paused for a moment and said, “We’ll eat pasta tonight. She went to the kitchen to help keep an eye on those chefs…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ken Swanson said unhappily, “Grandma, you’re really too much. Melody has just returned and her feet haven’t touched the ground for long. Why are you letting her go to the kitchen to work? She’s not a servant at home.”
Margaret Swanson glanced at Le Qing from the corner of her eye and coughed awkwardly.
Ulric Swanson said calmly, “Brother, how can you talk to Grandma like that? What do you mean by servants at home… Don’t you know how well Grandma treats Sister-in-law? Aren’t you afraid of hurting Grandma’s heart by talking like this?”
“Alright, alright.” Margaret Swanson raised her hand and said, “Don’t say anymore. It’s my fault for not thinking it through. I didn’t think of this at all. I have to trouble Melody to work in the kitchen.”
Le Qing said, “Brother Ulric, Brother Ken, Grandma… It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I said I wanted to eat Sister Melody’s pasta. That’s why Sister Melody cooked. I didn’t consider that she would be tired after getting off the plane. It’s all my fault. I’ll call Sister Melody out now and apologize to her.”
Ken Swanson seemed to have only noticed Le Qing’s existence. And he asked indifferently, “Who are you?” Ulric Swanson introduced, “This is Sister Le Qing. Have you forgotten? She used to come here with Uncle Le to play.” Le Qing had been a little afraid of Ken Swanson in the past. This was because Ken Swanson’s aura was too powerful and cold. He was the complete opposite of the amiable Ulric Swanson.
If not for that, based on her obsession with Ken Swanson, she would have long approached him and confessed to him.
It was because Ken Swanson’s aura was too strong and cold.
