Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Li Beijue Has Not Returned Yet
“`
He had made ten tis his investnt in stock trading, and after paying off the 70,000 owed to “Snot Worm” and the 30,000 in interest, he now had 900,000. Out of that, he invested 800,000 back into stock trading, leaving 100,000 in his little notebook.
Chi Enen didn’t know he had made a small fortune without her knowledge, and when he said that, she just assud it was money he had saved from red packets and didn’t ask any further.
After all, who would have thought that a five-year-old would have the guts to borrow money to speculate in stocks, let alone be successful at it!
It has to be said, genetics is indeed a terrifying thing.
Huo Yi was quick to act, and they didn’t have to wait long before he arrived by car.
He helped them carry their bags and, instead of returning to the hospital, drove straight to the mansion district in Rainy City where Li Beijue lived.
After swiping the card, the Bentley entered Zijing Garden.
Chi Enen hadn’t returned here for a long ti, and this ti, she felt completely different.
Before, whenever she ca back to Zijing Garden, her heart was so oppressed and suffocated, she could only survive by enduring it, in order to live peacefully with Li Beijue.
Now, opening the door she hadn’t seen in a long while, and seeing the familiar furniture and furnishings inside, she felt a familiar comfort and joy.
The oppressive feeling was gone.
It was the sa place, but because her feelings for the sa person had changed, even her perceptions had changed.
Baby Chi was visiting for the first ti, looking around curiously, as Huo Yi led him through the house. Chi Enen headed straight for the kitchen, put down the vegetables she bought, washed her hands, and instructed the people outside, “Baby, watch TV with Uncle Huo for a while, okay? Mommy will be busy for a bit.”
“Okay.”
Chi Jingchen’s clear, milky voice rang out cheerfully.
Chi Enen smiled, humming a tune while she started to prepare.
Li Beijue liked Western food, and while she used to make ho-cooked dishes, this ti she wanted to try making a Western al.
Steak with a vegetable salad and a serving of borscht.
It was her first ti making Western food, and worried about getting it wrong, she had looked up how to cook an authentic steak on her mobile phone and studied it before she started working.
First, she had to use the back of the knife to tenderize the beef.
Chi Enen followed the steps written down, carefully tapping the steak with the back of the knife, trying to make sure the force was neither too heavy nor too light.
According to the instructions, too much force would make the beef too soft, ruining the texture, while too little would not be effective at all, leaving the tendons intact and the resulting steak too tough to cut.
After tenderizing, she sprinkled salt, pepper powder, and rubbed oil on the steak, setting it aside to marinate.
While the steak was marinating, she started on the other dishes.
Once all the preliminary work for the dishes was done, she washed her hands and went out to watch TV with Bae Chi for a while.
After having lunch, she made a phone call to the bakery to order a large cake.
Only then did she start the hustle and bustle of decorating.
A birthday definitely needed candles and balloons, and fresh flowers to adorn the dining table…
It all seed like trivial tasks, but they took a lot of ti to execute.
By the ti she was done, it was almost 8 o’clock.
Chi Jingchen had helped all afternoon and was now so hungry his stomach was growling. Chi Enen looked at the ti and said, “Baby, shall Mommy make your portion first?”
“No, I want to wait and eat with you all.”
Chi Enen spoke softly to him, “You eat a little now to fill your stomach, and later Mommy will make you a vegetable salad, so you can still eat with us.”
