"Busy," Tan Xi sighed. "When you take someone's money, you've got to solve their problems for them. There was some issue with a project, so he went to take a look."
Ning Guiwan glanced at her. "Is that how you use that phrase?"
Tan Xi giggled. "Why did you guys come out to buy groceries yourselves? Isn't there usually someone to do this kind of work?"
"Today Grandaunt is getting discharged from the hospital, so we're planning to make her a delicious meal," Lai Yang said, beaming with excitement, a 'praise me!' look etched on her face.
Tan Xi didn't hold back in bursting her bubble. "You? Forget it. It'd make more sense if Xiaowan cooked."
Lai Yang wasn't having it. "What, you look down on me?"
Tan Xi squinted and smiled, clearly condescending.
Lai Yang said indignantly, "Come on, I've eaten countless delicious dishes. Cooking a couple of dishes is nothing to me! Stop shopping and come back with us later. I'll cook and show you!"
