Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Should I Call You Uncle Too?

"Ahem!" Zhao Dingli couldn’t help but speak up to remind, "Is it really okay to say that to Xiao Mo?"

"How old is Xiao Mo anyway?" Zhao Dingli said.

"What, you look down on our Xiao Mo?" Li Xiaoyun immediately turned protective, glaring at Zhao Dingli.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

When did he ever say he looked down on Xiao Mo?

This woman is too quick to pin the blame on him!

"That’s not what I meant." Zhao Dingli quickly explained.

Li Xiaoyun shook her head, sincerely advising Zhao Dingli, "That’s why you guys sometimes totally misunderstand certain manipulative women."

"Sigh!" Li Xiaoyun sighed, "It’s truly hard to find a man who can accurately judge those kinds of women nowadays."

As she spoke, Li Xiaoyun glanced at Zhao Dingli again and shook her head.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

This woman, does she have to be so disappointed in him?

He hasn’t even said a word yet!

"I know Zhuang Mingyan is not a good person." Zhao Dingli said, "It doesn’t take any talent to see that. Would a good person pester a married man endlessly?"

"Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t have the talent to identify those kinds of women; my eyesight is alright." Zhao Dingli defended himself.

"But I think adults’ matters shouldn’t affect Xiao Mo." Zhao Dingli said, considering Li Xiaoyun is the little guy’s godmother.

Zhao Dingli was sitting just one seat away from Lin Ligge.

In between them sat Zhao Guoxian.

Although Zhao Dingli had a higher rank, he actually had more to talk about with Zhao Guoxian.

With Zhao Dinglian and Zhao Dinghuan, there was indeed an age gap.

Therefore, Zhao Guoxian sat alongside Zhao Dingli.

On Lin Ligge’s other side was Zhao Dinglian, chatting away with Zhao Dinghuan.

The main reason was that Chi Jingsi wanted to be close to the elderly lady.

At this moment, hearing Zhao Dingli’s words, Lin Ligge tugged on Zhao Guoxian and whispered, "See, your Fourth Uncle is a negative example. Don’t ever talk like him."

You’ll end up single.

Zhao Guoxian: "..."

"Our Xiao Mo is very smart, he understands what adults say." Li Xiaoyun said, "Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t treat him differently."

"Moreover, since you know Zhuang Mingyan is not a good person, it’s even more necessary to keep Xiao Mo away from her." Li Xiaoyun said.

"If we shelter Xiao Mo from knowing too much because he’s young, what if Zhuang Mingyan really tries to win Xiao Mo over and he ends up trusting her?" Li Xiaoyun said.

"In the end, it’ll be Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo who suffer." As for Zhao Gushen?

He’s a man; the worst might be losing his chastity.

"If she just deceives Xiao Mo, that’s one thing, but if she’s going to deceive, she’ll have to invest something to successfully deceive him." Li Xiaoyun said, "But that doesn’t mean Xiao Mo won’t suffer."

"Our Xiao Mo is clever; he definitely won’t be deceived by her." Li Xiaoyun said, "But what if she realizes that deceiving Xiao Mo doesn’t work, becomes furious, and wants to hurt Xiao Mo?"

"Let’s take a step back, what if..." Li Xiaoyun timidly glanced at Zhao Gushen before speaking, "What if Zhao Gushen falls for it? What if Zhuang Mingyan ends up becoming Xiao Mo’s stepmother?"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Can’t deny it, your imagination is wild.

You really dare to say that!

Zhao Dingli admired Li Xiaoyun’s courage.

Despite being far away, Zhao Gushen somehow heard Li Xiaoyun’s words.

He directly looked over.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Li Xiaoyun was indeed intimidated by Zhao Gushen.

She immediately became guilty and didn’t dare to look over.

Moreover, she sheepishly added, "Of course, I know Zhao Gushen definitely wouldn’t be interested in Zhuang Mingyan."

"Forget Zhuang Mingyan, he wouldn’t even be interested in anyone else; his heart is completely devoted to our Xiao Fei." Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

You change your tune way too fast!

"Anyway, what I’m saying is, we should let Xiao Mo know, to avoid being bullied by that woman." Li Xiaoyun said.

The little guy also joined in, resting his arms on Li Xiaoyun’s leg, saying to Zhao Dingli, "Yeah, yeah, Great Uncle, don’t discriminate against me just because I’m young."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

This little guy’s words reminded Li Xiaoyun again.

Li Xiaoyun looked at Zhao Dingli as if there was so much more to say, "So... should I be calling you Uncle too?"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

It’s the first time he dislikes having a higher rank!

Originally, despite being similar in age to Zhao Gushen and the others, he had this higher rank.

Zhao Dingli always felt he had the advantage.

But now, after Li Xiaoyun’s comment, he couldn’t help but feel something was off.

"Let’s just listen to what’s being said on stage." Zhao Dingli said, twitching slightly at the corner of his eye.

Just at this moment, they heard Zhuang Mingyan speaking on stage, "Hello everyone, I’m Zhuang Mingyan."

"It’s a great honor, this time as the representative of the International Cooking Competition’s organizers in Hua Country, to be invited by the Changping Cooking Competition to be one of the judges for the finals."

The six judges on the surface maintained their smiles, without saying anything.

But in reality, they all sneered internally.

Everyone knows it was her who actively sought to be a judge.

Moreover, she even brought up the International Cooking Competition’s organizers.

Indicating that the organizers of the International Cooking Competition also value the Changping Cooking Competition and are very interested in seeing the skills of the contestants in this year’s competition.

They also want to know how proficient the champion of this year’s Changping Cooking Competition is.

Since the finals involve the top ten contestants.

The top ten contestants are already considered elite chefs.

It’ll also give a chance to understand their overall skill levels.

With such words, could Lu Chenghong and the other judges say no?

But actually, Lu Chenghong and the other judges didn’t know.

This whole thing wasn’t initiated by the International Cooking Competition organizers.

It was Zhuang Mingyan misleading both sides.

First, Zhuang Mingyan told the International Cooking Competition organizers that Hua Country was hosting the Changping Cooking Competition.

Historically, Hua Country’s contestants in the International Cooking Competition mainly come from the Changping Group. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

It would be a good opportunity to check out this year’s skill levels in Hua Country.

The top ten in the Changping Cooking Competition would definitely see numerous participants potentially chosen for the International Cooking Competition.

Not to mention Changping having a direct entry slot for this year’s champion of the Changping Cooking Competition.

Therefore, it was important to see what level this year’s champion is at.

After hearing Zhuang Mingyan’s words, the International Cooking Competition organizers felt it made sense.

So they agreed.

Then, Zhuang Mingyan used similar phrasing, but claiming it was a proactive request from the International Cooking Competition organizers.
