Chapter 241 - 238: Gu Yifan’s Dark History

Chapter 241: Chapter 238: Gu Yifan’s Dark History

When Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe came out of the room, his mother was already sitting at the dining table.

His father was still in the bathroom, washing up.

Chen Dongmei looked at the beautiful, aromatic, and delicious-looking breakfast spread before her and couldn’t help but praise Su Qinghe. "Qinghe, your cooking skills are getting better and better! This looks like something from a five-star hotel chef! It’s much better than this old auntie’s cooking!"

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe froze for a moment, then waved her hands and quickly explained, "Auntie, I didn’t make this. Yifan did."

"Hmm????"

Hearing Su Qinghe’s words, Chen Dongmei was completely dumbfounded.

"Qinghe, are you saying Yifan made all of this?"

Chen Dongmei asked in surprise.

"Mhm, yes!"

Su Qinghe nodded and praised him generously, "Auntie, Yifan’s cooking is super delicious!"

Hearing Su Qinghe, Chen Dongmei turned to her son, her eyes filled with shock.

"Son, did you really make this?"

She asked, finding it hard to believe.

"Yep!"

Gu Yifan nodded with a straight face.

"This..."

"But... when did you learn how to cook?"

Chen Dongmei blurted out.

"Er..."

Gu Yifan looked exasperated. "Mom, what are you talking about? Haven’t I always known how to cook?!"

Chen Dongmei pursed her lips. "You can say that, but was that stuff you used to make even edible?!"

"I’m starting to suspect you just secretly ordered takeout this morning and are pretending you made it!"

After a moment’s thought, Chen Dongmei added another comment.

Gu Yifan: "..."

"No!"

"Mom, that’s a little hurtful, you know!"

"Haven’t you heard the saying? ’A lot can change in a short time!’"

He said, feeling indignant.

"Pfft~"

Chen Dongmei didn’t say a word, but her expression said it all.

Gu Yifan was speechless.

Just then, Gu Yifan’s father, Gu Jiaguo, finished washing up and came over.

"What are you all talking about so happily?"

He said with a smile as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

His words left Gu Yifan even more speechless.

’Seriously, Dad? Which one of your eyes sees anything happy about this conversation?!!’

Gu Yifan fell silent.

Since he wasn’t talking, Chen Dongmei spoke up. "Old Gu, your son says he made all this. Do you believe him?"

"Hmm????"

Gu Jiaguo froze.

He first glanced at the beautiful, aromatic breakfast, which was still steaming on the table, and then looked at his son.

Gu Yifan was looking at him with an expectant expression.

"Son, you made all this?"

He asked tentatively.

"Yes!"

Gu Yifan nodded. "Dad, do you believe me?"

"Er..."

For a moment, Gu Jiaguo didn’t know what to say.

After a brief silence, he said grimly, "If I said I had an emergency at work and had to leave right now, would it be too late?"

Gu Yifan: "..."

’So he doesn’t believe me either!’

’Fine!’

’Believe it or not!’

’I can’t even be bothered to cook for them anyway!’

Seeing that Gu Yifan’s parents didn’t believe he had made the breakfast, Su Qinghe stepped in.

"Uncle, Auntie, Yifan really did make all of this!"

"I saw him make it with my own two eyes!"

"And his cooking is delicious!"

"Back in Jinling, he often cooked for me. I can vouch for him!"

Su Qinghe said to Gu Yifan’s parents with a very serious expression.

"Er..."

After hearing Su Qinghe, the couple, Gu Jiaguo and Chen Dongmei, had no choice but to believe it. It seemed their son had really changed after going off to college!

"You little rascal, it’s not that your father and I don’t believe you, it’s just that this transformation is too dramatic!"

Knowing she was on weak ground, Chen Dongmei thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember that time you volunteered to cook, and your dad and I ended up in the hospital after eating it?"

"Er..."

Hearing his mother bring this up, Gu Yifan looked incredibly embarrassed.

This had happened several years ago. Back then, on a whim, he had decided to cook a meal for his parents.

At the time, the couple had been so touched!

But after Gu Yifan created chaos in the kitchen, he finally managed to produce a meal.

Although the dish looked a bit ugly, the couple didn’t think much of it. After all, it was his first time cooking, so it was normal for it to look unappetizing.

Under Gu Yifan’s expectant gaze, the couple picked up a "slice" of shredded potato. Yes! A "slice" of shredded potato!

The moment the potato entered their mouths, their eyes flew wide open!

The taste was simply indescribable!

It was so salty it nearly made them vomit up last night’s dinner!

But not wanting to crush their son’s enthusiasm, the couple forced themselves to swallow the disgusting potato.

However, the boy had absolutely no self-awareness. Seeing his parents take the first bite, he eagerly asked them how it tasted.

This left the couple at a loss for how to answer, so they could only say it tasted pretty good.

Hearing this, Gu Yifan’s eyes lit up, and he happily piled a huge helping of the dish into each of their bowls!

The sight made the couple want to slap themselves.

The most infuriating part was that the little rascal didn’t eat any of it himself, claiming virtuously that he was saving his first-ever cooked meal entirely for his parents!

In the end, with him watching full of expectation, the two of them endured the agony and finished all the food.

The result? Before midnight, the couple came down with acute gastroenteritis...

It was impossible to say if it was because of Gu Yifan’s cooking, but they just so happened to get sick right then and there!

Of the three family members, only Gu Yifan didn’t get sick!

And he was the one who hadn’t eaten the food.

The answer was self-evident!

From that day on, the couple never dared to let Gu Yifan cook again!

Gu Yifan, for his part, was mortified and never dared to bring the matter up again...

Hearing Gu Yifan’s mother talk about ending up in the hospital after eating his food, Su Qinghe looked curious and confused.

"Alright, enough about that. Come on, let’s eat breakfast!"

"This breakfast looks so good. It’s true what they say, a lot can change in a short time. Son, Dad believes in you!"

Seeing Gu Yifan’s embarrassment, Gu Jiaguo spoke up to bail him out.

"Dad..."

Hearing his father’s words, Gu Yifan couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion!

Just as he was about to say something, he heard his father turn to his mother and ask, "Um... Honey, we still have some Baoji Pills at home, right?"

Gu Yifan: "..."
