Conversion ~ After Story ~
Chapter 2
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that they were all busy because they were the busiest and had headaches on Fridays.
They were busy because they had to eat with the Balian members. They had headaches because of Xanxus, because he was notoriously picky about Penglie's kitchen.
The food they made could never meet his appetite, so they had an inexplicable fear of Xanxus.
Or rather, Xanxus had an innate kingly aura. If it wasn't for this kingly aura, Scuvaro probably wouldn't have been willing to follow him back then.
"Who are you?
Why are you here? Don't you know that this is a kitchen?
The kitchen is a place where unrelated people are not allowed to enter! "
When I heard the voice, I looked up and saw a woman standing not far away, looking at me with her head held high.
I walked up to her and smiled, "May I ask who you are?"
"Of course I'm Penglie's person," the other party said without thinking, "Do you need to know who I am to Penglie?
You're an outsider! "
"Amy, she's Miss Iétat. How can you be so rude to Miss Iétat!"
When I heard the voice, I turned and saw Jones walking over slowly. He seemed to be holding some ingredients in his hand.
He looked at me and said apologetically, "Miss Iétat, Amy is my sister. My parents had a mission tonight, so I brought her here. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Hearing Jones' words, I smiled and looked at Amy, "It's okay. After all, it's Amy's first time at Penglie. It's normal that she doesn't know me."
Thinking of my previous instructions to Jones, I asked, "Jones, have you prepared the ingredients I need?
I promised grandpa that I would prepare Chinese cuisine for him tonight. "
But before Jones could speak, I heard Amy's voice, "Who is your grandpa?
What right does he have to use Penglie's kitchen here? And you, a Chinese, what right does he have to be in Penglie Headquarters? You have to remember who you are … "
Before Amy could finish, I kicked her in the chest. Her body flew a few feet away and landed heavily on the ground.
I ignored the surprised expression on Jones' face and walked up to Amy. I squatted down next to her, lifted her chin, and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa is Penglie Nindaime, understand?"
Amy trembled under my hand. I had always been polite to Penglie's members, and they were also very respectful to me. But if I met someone who crossed my bottom line, I wouldn't let them, and that line was Nindaime.
"Xiao Ying, what happened? Did the commotion here alert the boss?" Ruslia said as she walked into the kitchen.
When he saw Amy lying on the ground, he walked up to me and asked with concern, "Are you hurt? If you're hurt, it'll be hard to explain to the boss."
I looked at Ruslia's expression and shook my head, "It's fine.
Also, I don't want Jones to be involved in this. After all, it's not his fault. As for Amy, she just crossed my bottom line, so I taught her a small lesson. "
Ruslia looked at Jones who was standing on the side. Jones also lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, the food I prepared for Zio should be here soon. It's Chinese snacks. If you don't go, you won't be able to eat it later."
I looked at Ruslia and said with a smile, "Trust me, give me an afternoon. I can prepare dinner."
When Ruslia walked up to Jones, I didn't know what they talked about. In the end, I saw Jones and Amy disappear before my eyes.
The ingredients were all prepared by Jones.
I looked at the ingredients on the counter and started to prepare dinner.
I didn't know how long I was busy in the kitchen, but it was close to 5 pm by the time all the dishes were ready. Penglie usually served dinner at 6 pm.
"Miss Iétat, I'm very sorry. Amy is a spoiled child."
When I opened the door, I saw Jones standing in front of me with an uneasy expression. It seemed that he couldn't think of anything to apologize to me.
"Jones, it's not your fault. I don't mean to blame you. As for Amy …" I thought about my previous behavior and bowed, "Nindaime is my bottom line. I'm very sorry that this happened."
"Trash should be taught a lesson."
When I heard the voice, I looked up and saw Xanxus standing at the end of the corridor in a black suit. He still had an impatient expression on his face.
It was probably because Ruslia had told him everything that had happened that caused him to behave like this.
I turned to Jones and shook my head. Finally, I patted his shoulder and said, "We're family. I won't take it to heart. I believe Jones won't either, right?"
I didn't look at Jones' expression.
I remembered that when I first came to Penglei Headquarters four years ago, they didn't like me. Or maybe, there were still many people who didn't like me, a Chinese person.
However, I knew that everyone in Penglie was my family.
When I walked into the living room, I saw fruit plates placed neatly on the coffee table. However, the pastries on them were all gone.
"Xiao Ying, you're really good at cooking. No wonder Prynne wants to live with you. Does Prynne get to eat so many free pastries every day?"
Mizuki Yui, Captain Balian Cloud. Her parents were both researchers at Penglie. However, because she was so strong, Xanxus made an exception and promoted her to the position of Cloud Guardian. She could be considered one of the people he recognized.
However, in the next second, I received everyone's gazes. The fact that Prynne and I were living together was actually exposed by the big mouth Yui in such a situation.
Other than the people from Jessos, no one knew that Prynne and I were living together. Yui probably only found out that we were living together after she accidentally went to my bachelor apartment.
"Sister Ying, why are you living together with Prynne? I remember that you were Octopus Head's girlfriend. Did you guys break up?"
Flin looked at me and said expressionlessly. Then he suddenly realized, "It must be because Octopus Head couldn't stand your long-distance relationship, so you guys broke up?"
"Our Xiao Ying is so outstanding. How could that idiot Prison Temple break up with you!"
Ruslia looked at me with a distressed expression, "But it's okay. Prison Temple isn't good enough for our Xiao Ying."
They chattered and didn't give me a chance to explain.
As expected, living together with Prynne would cause unnecessary trouble. Or maybe I shouldn't have taken in Yui out of kindness.
"Actually, Hayato and I didn't break up."
After hearing my words, the room instantly quieted down. In the end, they looked at me and started chattering again. They were probably wondering why I was living together with Prynne.
"It seems that Ah Ying is already used to this kind of scene."
When I turned my head, I saw Lars standing not far away with her arms crossed. I walked towards her with a smile and said, "Sister Lal, are you here to laugh at me too?"
Lars looked at me and shook her head, "You didn't want to go to a Mafia School because you wanted to be an ordinary person. But people like us are born Mafia. It can't be changed."
Hearing Lars' words, I smiled and said, "I've never forgotten that I'm a Mafia. The reason why I didn't go to a Mafia School is because I cherish the happiness of being an ordinary person. It doesn't mean that I deny my identity."
"I heard that tomorrow is?
G Tada's graduation ceremony. Are you going to attend it? "
Hearing Xanxus's voice, I turned and saw him standing behind me.
I don't know why, but I always had an inexplicable respect for Xanxus, even if he wasn't as cold as I thought.
If not, he probably wouldn't have agreed to let me go to the University of Palermo.
"Zio, do you like the pastries?"
I stood beside him and tried my best to suppress my presence. I was even a little worried that he would ask about Prynne.
"The taste is not bad. It would be even better if it was whiskey flavored."
Hearing his words, I laughed softly and said, "How could it be whiskey flavored? But if Zio really likes it, I can consider adding some whiskey next time."
Hearing my words, Xanxus didn't respond. Just when I thought he would get angry, he unexpectedly put a silver gun in my hand.
"I remember that Zio gave me the same gun on my birthday last year.
No one in Palermo dares to bully me. They all know that I'm Penglie's man. "
I held the gun and looked at him with a smile, "You have to know that it's not easy for someone to survive under Scuvaro's hands."
"I don't believe you?
G Tada, "Xanxus looked at me and said slowly.
He seemed to have thought of something and his tone became impatient again, "If you die, who will cook for me?!" After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, I stuck out my tongue.
Who said that Xanxus didn't know how to be gentle? Maybe he was just like me and wanted to be cared for.
"Xanxus seems to have always liked Xiao Ying very much."
Hearing Nindaime's words, I turned and saw him standing not far away with Michaux in his arms. I smiled at him and said, "Zio is also a very gentle person!
It's just that he's as clumsy and gentle as Hayato. Otherwise, according to his temper, he probably wouldn't have agreed to let me go to the University of Palermo. "
"Xiao Ying, this is the ticket to Pangsheng tonight. I've already contacted Reborn. He will arrange for you to be picked up at the airport. You should arrive in Pangsheng tomorrow morning."
