Her cooking was always excellent and today she was hosting Qin Si, so she made an extra effort. When Qin Si smelt the aroma, she could not restrain herself and ran to the kitchen.

The kitchen door was still closed! For the fragrance to seep out showed how wonderful the aroma was.

“It smells so good! Can we eat yet?”

Qin Si's face filled with antic.i.p.ation as she looked at the food in the kitchen.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Yes, I just have one last fruit platter to complete. You can bring these out first.”

Qin Si hurriedly brought the dishes out to the living room.

Six dishes, soup, and a fruit platter. It was extremely sumptuous!

Qin Si marveled at the color, aroma, and taste of the food!

Sometimes, she felt that food she personally made was especially tasty. Although Qin Si didn't cook these, she had a.s.sumed that Gu Qingyao was a pampered young lady like her!

When she saw the dishes Gu Qingyao had made, Qin Si thought she was incredible!

“Yao Yao, you're amazing!”

Qin Si immediately tucked in. When she tasted the food, her eyes brightened.

“It's delicious. Did you really make these yourself? Your cooking is even better than my family chef's cooking.”

Gu Qingyao was pleased. Her cooking was not at all inferior to that of a chef!

“If you like it, have more. There are fruits too. I guarantee they're delicious.”

Qin Si ate a little and realized they were nicer than the fruits she usually ate.

She was perplexed. They were the same kind of fruits, but why were Gu Qingyao's fruits much nicer?

After treating Qin Si to a good meal, Gu Qingyao sent her home and tidied up a little before returning to her bedroom.

Qin Zhiyuan had truly made a lot of effort. She was very pleased with the house. It was just right for her.

If the opportunity arose, she could even bring a few friends over without the place feeling cramped.

Gu Qingyao washed up and lay on the bed. She was thinking of her mother. How could she attract her mother's attention?

Her mother was in the jewelry business. She might as well start with jewelry!

After Gu Qingyao made up her mind, she carefully searched her inters.p.a.ce.

She had acc.u.mulated plenty of jewels over the years. She had plenty of rare gems, but after pondering for a long time, Gu Qingyao finally decided on raw jade.

In their previous life, Mo Beihan had brought her to buy raw jade, so she had some in her inters.p.a.ce.

He had initially brought her on a holiday in the south, and they pa.s.sed a wholesaler for raw jade. She just thought it would be fun and went to take a look. But her luck was good, and she managed to find several superior pieces of raw jade. When they opened them up, they were all of good quality.

She still had a few that had not been opened, and some of them were of premium quality.

She was interested in jewelry, and Mo Beihan knew plenty of people, so he accompanied her for fun. Later on, she went back several times and obtained many nice pieces.

Gu Qingyao selected the best one. This piece of raw jade had already been partially polished and the translucent green jade within was eye-catching. It was a vibrant shade of green and especially beautiful!

A large section had already been polished. Although one never really knew what was inside a piece of raw jade until it was opened, Gu Qingyao's piece had been mostly revealed. It very likely contained premium jade.

Once the entire piece was revealed, it would be considered to be imperial jade. As long as it was not just a thin layer of jade but extended a little way into the piece, this piece of raw jade would be extremely valuable.

Gu Qingyao decided to seek out Qin Zhiyuan the next day.
