Chapter 298 – Guan Xueming's Selfish Motives
Guan Xin was born into a family of scholars and doctors. House Guan was now on the same level as some of the bigger houses, but Guan Xin didn't have any of the bad habits of a rich young miss.
Her parents were busy with work, and her father was a shareholder of the hospital, but his company was out of town. It was rare for him and his mother to come home.
Guan Xin had been by her grandfather's side since she was young, so she learned how to clean the house, wash clothes, and cook. She managed the house neatly, and although Nanny Liu was there, Guan Xin would always help Nanny Liu every time she came home.
Her cooking skills were superb, and she was known as the Super Invincible Beauty God of Cooking in the family area of the medical school. Whenever Guan Xin cooked, her grandfather's old friends would shamelessly come over to eat with her.
Guan Xin's cultured and refined demeanor made her the object of admiration for all the boys her age in the medical school's family area. However, the Guan family's strict upbringing forbade dating before graduation, so many admirers were deterred from pursuing her.
Guan Xueming, on the other hand, entered society and started working after graduation. It was just that Guan Xueming's reputation was getting bigger and bigger, and those old friends who came to visit him stopped bringing it up.
Guan Xueming's reputation was now on the same level as the bigger houses, and no one knew if Guan Xin would marry into a rich family, but Guan Xin was a good wife and loving mother. She was definitely the first choice for a rich family's daughter-in-law.
Guan Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She'd just graduated, and her career hadn't even started yet. How could she be in the mood for a relationship? But even if she wasn't in the mood, there were times when love couldn't be stopped.
When Guan Xin had first developed feelings for Lin Yi, she'd found it strange and inconceivable. It was the first time she'd developed feelings for a boy, and the old Guan Xin had even thought that there was something wrong with her sexual orientation.
Perhaps she was just a little late in her development? Guan Xin comforted herself, but she felt that there was no longer any possibility between her and Lin Yi. She'd fantasized about it, but reality was reality.
Guan Xin had chosen to run away from him the first time she saw him. But after running away, she couldn't help but want to see Lin Yi again. It was a conflicted feeling. She knew that it was impossible, but she still wanted to see him.
It was like a moth flying into a flame. It was somewhat impulsive and irrational, but it was uncontrollable.
"Xinxin, do you need Auntie Liu's help?" Auntie Liu's voice came from outside the kitchen. After tidying up the house, Auntie Liu came to help Guan Xin in the kitchen.
"No need, I can do it myself." Guan Xin rejected Auntie Liu's offer of help, but she couldn't let Auntie Liu come. If Auntie Liu saw her cooking secret, she'd definitely stop her from messing around.
Auntie Liu didn't think much about it. She knew that Master Guan was going to introduce a handsome young man to Guan Xin. Auntie Liu thought that Guan Xin was tempted and wanted to show off her invincible cooking skills.
If someone were to help, how would they show off the super invincible Young God of Cooking in the universe?
One had to admit that Guan Xin's cooking skills were excellent. Even though the seasoning was messed up, the dishes were still delicious and tasteless!
If one didn't taste it and just looked at the appearance, it would definitely make one salivate. Whether it was the color or the fragrance, they were all excellent. But after one taste, one would find that every dish was either salty, sour, or sweet. In short, none of the dishes had a normal taste.
Before Guan Xin took the dishes out of the wok, she would add a random seasoning to the dishes.
Guan Xuemin looked at Guan Xin, who was busy cooking, and he was happy. Such a virtuous, beautiful, gentle, and well-mannered granddaughter should be able to make Lin Yi enjoy it so much that he forgot to go home, right?
If Guan Xin came to his house a few more times, all the medical problems he had would be solved by her! If Guan Xuemin could become his grandson-in-law, the Guan Clan would be prosperous for the next hundred years!
Although the Guan Clan's status was comparable to the big houses, and even the heads of the big houses were respectful to them, Guan Xuemin knew very well that it was all because of him!
He was Miracle Doctor Guan, and that was why the Guan Clan's status was so high. Everyone would die one day, and knowing a Miracle Doctor was the same as having a guarantee of life. This was also why the Guan Clan's status had risen so quickly these past few years.
But if Guan Xuemin was gone one day, the Guan Clan's status would plummet. Without a Miracle Doctor, the Guan Clan would be no different from a normal small family.
Although Guan Xuemin wasn't someone who cared about fame and fortune, he couldn't not think about his children and grandchildren. Especially his granddaughter, Guan Xuemin was even more worried about her. Finding a good husband for her had become his main concern.
Looking at Lin Yi reminded him of Guan Xin. If his granddaughter could be with Lin Yi, then the Guan Clan's reputation wouldn't fall because of his passing, but would instead rise!
Guan Xuemin knew very well- what kind of Miracle Doctor was he? Lin Yi was the Miracle Doctor! And that Miracle Doctor he met twenty years ago … That was the real deal!
His eldest son's family had settled in Yanjing, living a wealthy life. His youngest son and his wife were busy with business, and only their daughter Guan Xin was by their side. Guan Xuemin didn't have much to worry about with his two sons.
His eldest son didn't have any skills, but he'd made quite a bit of money through Guan Xuemin's connections, enough for them to live the rest of their lives. Guan Xuemin didn't have a good impression of his eldest son, and he didn't want to return to a small place like Songshan ever since he'd been exposed to the upper class. He only came back once during the holidays, which disappointed Guan Xuemin quite a bit.
His youngest son, on the other hand, came back often, and was a righteous person, albeit a bit old-fashioned. He relied on his own ability to do business and never mentioned Guan Xuemin's name outside. Logically speaking, with his youngest son's personality, if he didn't have any background or backing, he would definitely be disadvantaged in society. However, his luck wasn't bad. In his early years, he met a benefactor, a legendary figure.
Unfortunately, this person also disappeared from everyone's sight in the same year as the genius doctor who had taught Guan Xuemin, becoming a legend …
"Xin Xin, there's no need to make so many dishes! It's enough to eat! " Guan Xuemin was a bit puzzled as he watched his granddaughter run around, preparing a table full of delicacies. Had his granddaughter really grown up? Was she starting to care about her marriage? Was she going to show off in front of this young man?
