Chapter 36 That''s My Mum


    "The two must have something going on!" ording to his careful observation, Arvin really took the


    initiative ining over to Ang''s house.


    In the dinning room, Ang secretly dialed Lily''s number. "How have you been, grandma?"


    Lily was pleased to hear from Ang. "You remembered me, my little sweetheart!"


    "Of course. Well, I''ve got one thing to ask you, grandma."


    "Feel free to say it."


    Ang peered at Sven and Arvin, who was seated around the table. "What does Arvin like to eat,


    grandma?"


    Her question made Lily''s eyes lighten up. ''She cared about Arvin! That''s a good news!'' Lily replied,


    "Arvin likes nothing special, but he does have something he dislikes."


    Ang was so thrilled that she''d like to hit her own thigh. That was exactly what she wanted to know.


    "So, what is the food that he doesn''t like?"


    "Arvin doesn''t like red-cooked pork,tro, eggnt..." Lily was d to tell Ang all she knew about


    Arvin''s dislikes in food, meat and vegetables.


    Ang snickered, "Okay, I got it. Thank you, grandma!"


    "Is Avrin with you, Ang?"


    "Yes, grandma. My mum''s hurrying me and we are going to have dinner soon. I have to go. I''ll visit you


    when I''m free!"


    Lily agreed, "Okay. You should go."


    "Bye!"


    ...


    After ending the call, Ang walked towards the dining table, where everybody was already seated.


    Chuck was seated on the main seat, with Daisy on his right hand and Sven on his left. Arvin was


    seated next to Sven.


    Ang''s eyes rolled. She moved towards Sven and clutched his sleeves as she smiled innocently at


    him. "Could you move and sit with mum, Sven? It''s rare that Director Gu came to our home. As one of


    his employees, I need to ensure that he''s well treated in our home."


    Her words sessfully drew everyone''s attention.


    Earlier, she drove Arvin away, but now she changed her mind and didn''t want him to go?


    Sven stood up without a second thought and sat next to Daisy. As what Ang had wished, she sat


    beside Arvin.


    It seemed like Arvin curved the corner of his mouth. There was a saying, The weasel goes to pay his


    respects to the hen - not with the best of intentions.


    It was a great dinner tonight. Daisy had cooked eight dishes and prepared two bowls of soup.


    Ang''s eyes lightened up when she saw some dishes with meat, two of these weren''t Arvin''s favorite.


    She picked up a piece of red-cooked pork and put it to Arvin''s te, "You deal with a lot of problems


    every day, Director Gu. You''ve had a hard time. You should treat youself with some meat to supplement


    some nutrition! Suit yourself..."


    ...


    Everyone around the table felt a sense of weirdness. Chuck narrowed his eyes at her daughter''s


    pleased face as he observed her closely. "Why is my little girl so attentive to this man?"


    Daisy, as well, was wondering what was going on with her daughter.


    Sven picked up a piece of red-cooked pork too and waited for something fun to happen. As far as he


    knew, Arvin did not like red-cooked pork at all.


    Arvin was looking at that pork for nearly half a minute.


    Ang tilted her head and looked at Arvin''s nk expression. She certainly felt good about herself.


    "Come on, Director Gu. This red-cooked pork dish was made by the cook who was hired by my older


    brother. You should eat more. As well as this lettuce in oyster sauce..." Yes! Arvin didn''t like oyster


    sauce, either.


    A leaf of lettuce with an overflowing oyster sauce on it was put onto Arvin''s te.


    Arvin looked at Ang, who was full of provocation and satisfication in her eyes. "Thanks."


    Later on, he ate all food on his te. Ang watched him with her eyes wide open.


    ... No! She tried to recall what Mrs. Gu told her. ''I remembered it right. Arvin doesn''t like red-cooked


    pork. What''s goning on?''


    "Eat your food, Ang!" Chuck did not notice thepetition between the two. He just felt like his


    daughter was too attentive to Arvin.


    "Okay." Ang retracted her eyes to her own food and drank her porridge in disappointment.


    ''Mrs. Gu won''t lie to me! So, which part went wrong? Was this because he hadn''t eaten enough?''


    After a careful thought, Ang picked up another piece of red-cooked pork and put it onto Arvin''s te.


    "I may have a lot of things to consult with you in the future about Yao Hospital, Director Gu. Feel at


    home, please. "


    Holy mama! Ang was not good at talking. She couldn''t find other words topliment Arvin...


    Soon, Arvin''s te was filled with red-cooked pork and lettuce with oyster sauce, including some


    celery, which he also disliked. His te was always fully refilled by Ang.


    To match Ang''s hospitality, Arvin picked up a piece of mutton chop with ck pepper and ced it


    on her te. With an effort to sound gentle and friendly, he told, "Thank you for your consideration,


    Ang. Help yourself, too. You''re skinny. A girl is perfect with a little fat."


    Ang was in utter surprise. ''Arvin was so thick-skinned. Since when did he care about me?''


    Well, thest sentence he said... would have deeply touched her if he truly cared for her.


    However, she remembered every word that he said before.


    She was only 120 pounds and he told her to lose weight because he thought she was too fat.


    After picking up the two pieces of mutton chop for Ang, Arvin ate the food on his te quietly.


    Sven cleared his throat to conceal hisughter and said to his younger sister, "Eat your food, Ang.


    Why are you staring into space?"


    "Okay!" Ang drew back her thoughts and ate her favourite mutton chop.


    ''Arvin picked up my favourite dish identally. That''s amazing!''


    Seeing the exchange between Ang and Avrin, Chuck pondered about it a lot. ''Arvin and Ang...''


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    He saw Arvin in a different way now.


    As for Daisy, she thought Ang was being difficult. "It was no good idea to make Arvin eat so much


    red-cooked pork, Ang. This mushroom soup with winter gourd is good, too. Refill it in Avrin''s bowl,


    Ang. "


    "Mum... He can refill it on his own." Ang felt droopy seeing that her n didn''t go as she wished.


    "Didn''t you say that you have many things to consult with Arvin, Ang? Be friendly, okay?" Then,


    Daisy passed the scoop over to Ang.


    Ang took the scoop over. "That''s... my mum! ="


    When she was about to take Arvin''s bowl, he stopped her. At first, Ang was confused but then Arvin


    exined, "Guiding you is no big deal. It''s just a small case. However, dropping by in this home might


    have caused Ang to be unhappy, so it''s my fault. I am sorry." After saying this, Arvin refilled Ang''s


    bowl with soup.


    ''Avrin would say sorry too me?'' Ang almost choked herself with the porridge inside her mouth. ''Did I


    mishear him?


    But his words suggested that I was being difficult?''


    After refilling the bowl with soup, Arvin admitted, "Sorry that I made you unhappy, Ang."


    As a matter of fact, Arvin''s words did have twoyers of meaning. For one thing, he was sorry for the


    situation right now. Another thing was that he wanted to apologize for the private examination incident.


    He did a lot of thinking and he realized that he was a little hard on Ang at that time.


    Ang was inexperienced at her new job, so it was also a genuine apology for that incident.
