Chapter 35 Angela Downplays The Money
Angela had to win! It was already past six when she finally set her books aside
and prepared to head home from the library.
Before leaving through the school gate, Jessica grabbed her and took her to the
on-campus dessert shop to buy the most exquisite piece of cake.
It was called “Fanny's Special,” and if Fanny was having it, then Jessica had to
have it too!
As Angela looked at the small cake in her hand, her clear eyes became slightly
red.
After taking a deep breath, she earnestly said, “Jess, you have to give it your all.
You must defeat Fanny in this speech competition!”
If Jessica triumphed over Fanny, she would be the one going abroad as an
exchange student.
She could then pursue her love for her favorite language without any regrets and
embark on a different path from her previous life.
When Angela arrived home, she looked around and found that no one else was
there.
She casually placed the cake on the table, went into the kitchen, checked what
ingredients were available, and considered cooking dinner for Donald and the
others.
The door clicked open, and she turned around to see her grandmother, Emilia.
“Are you cooking?” Emilia craned her neck to look.
Angela smiled and nodded in response.
Emilia shifted her attention from the vegetables to Angela and asked, “Angela, do
you have a boyfriend?”
“No, I'm still young. I'm not planning to date for now.”
Emelia pursed her lips and frowned. Just because you're young, doesn't mean
there’s no demand. By the time you graduate from university, you'll be in your
twenties. If you wait until then to date, you'll be an old spinster.
“Men prefer younger girls. Besides, what's the use of reading so many books?
You're still going to get married and have children. You might as well find
someone to marry early. Look at the Johnston Family's daughter downstairs.
She's not as pretty as you, but she found a man who drives a Mercedes. Every
holiday, they bring back loads of stuff. Their family is so proud.
“If you're not dating anyone, I can help you find a boyfriend.”
Angela continued chopping vegetables while maintaining her focus. Without
changing her expression, she replied, “Grandma, the man the Johnston Family's
daughter is dating is in his forties and already married. She's involved in an affair.
Our family doesn't participate in such immoral activities.”
Emilia received a rebuke, and her expression soured. As a result, she lost
interest in continuing the

huse, you go abwart and cook. I have something to do and will go out first” She
made a face and left.
As long as someone was cooking, she was happy to be idle.
Euath, she didn't so much. It was her daughter, Hecate, who did the cooking.
Occasionally, when Hecate came back late from work, she would cook.
Finally, she left, and Angela felt relieved.
But when she finished cooking and brought out the food, she found that the little
cake on her table was
Looking at the empty table, she thought for three seconds.
The sound of a key turning, and then the door was pushed open from the
outside. Donald and his wife were back from work, followed by Emelia, who had
returned on the way.
Smelling the aroma of the food in the air. Hecate paused and then laughed.
“You're really diligent to have the meal already prepared. But Angela, next time,
wait for your aunt to come back and cook. You should focus on your studies”
Angela smiled sweetly. “It's okay. This way, you can taste my cooking?
She had cooked for the Kins Family many times, but she had never prepared a
meal for Donald's family. who had always been kind to her. Reflecting on it now,
she realized she had been quite oblivious in the past and engaged in numerous
foolish actions.
“Great, then today we'll get a taste of Angela's cooking. What did you make,
Angela? It smells delicious!” Donald expressed his appreciation, removing his
coat and approaching with a smile.
After Angela had listed the two dishes, she noticed her grandmother's silence in
the background. Trying to sound casual, she asked, “Grandma, did you happen
to see the cake on the table when you came back just now?”
Emilia mustered a slightly uneasy smile. “Oh, that cake. I went to visit the Lime
Family. Their grandson has a sweet tooth. Thinking you didn’t want it and brought
it back, I took it to him.”
“Oh okay, I thought I had placed it somewhere else and remembered incorrectly.
No big deal. Angela smiled faintly and appeared unaffected.
Donald and Hecate exchanged glances with Emelia, causing her expression to
instantly sour.
What was wrong with that girl?
It was just a cake. If it was gone, someone in the family probably took it. Was it
really worth waiting for others to show up and ask about it in front of everyone?
In the past few years, Angela seemed to have developed a bit of cunning
unexpectedly.
To lighten the mood, Hecate quickly complimented the delicious dishes Angela
had prepared.
Emelia stayed silent, but she ate faster than anyone, as if worried about eating
slowly and ending up with

fewer bites.
“Who would have thought your cooking is so good? Wow, our family is really
fortunate.” Donald chuckled- heartily, a sense of pride washing over him as if his
daughter from the Kins Family had just come of age. “No wonder people are
willing to pay you to prepare medicinal meals. They must have recognized your
culinary talent”
Angela lowered her eyes as she smiled lightly at the acknowledgment.

Suddenly, Emelia looked up and said, “You must be making good money cooking
medicinal cuisine for others, huh?”
Since it brought in money, it made sense to contribute some living expenses to
the family. Perhaps even buy something to show respect to the elders!
Angela might have lacked initiative and not know how to please. It was no
wonder she hadn't been favored by her own parents and couldn't compare to the
one adopted by the Kins Family.

Seeing Hecate supporting her, Angela smiled faintly. “Yeah, it's not much. I'm
helping out a friend, and it's just a payment of about ten dollars per task.”

She stated this amount, knowing that even if she completed thirty days of making
medicinal meals, it would only amount to around three hundred dollars a month,
far from the six thousand mentioned.
She wasn't naive. Emelia’'s comments about money had an obvious motive, and
everyone understood it.
Hearing three hundred dollars, Emelia’s eyes lit up. “That's not bad. You're just a
young girl. It's not safe to carry so much money on you.”
“Thanks for your concern, Grandma. I'll be careful with my safety.” Angela smiled
expressionlessly.
She didn't expect that downplaying the money would still give Emelia some
ideas.
After that, Angela set down her utensils and took the empty dishes to the kitchen.
Hecate quickly followed, whispering. “Let me do it. Angela, you can go back to
your room, rest, or read a book.”
Donald also entered. “Don’t take grandma's words to heart. We, as elders, would
never take the money of a young girl like you. Save it for yourself. Girls should
have money on hand.”
