Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 122 - 117: Driving People Away

Tang Yiyi was wearing soft-soled shoes, and her steps were so light that there was almost no sound. Thus, when she arrived, the young woman didn’t notice her and instead frowned with panic as she looked at the little boy sitting on the ground, anxiously asking him if he was alright.

However, the plump middle-aged woman quickly noticed Tang Yiyi’s presence, staring at her and asking, "Who are you? Are you here to take them away?" As she spoke, her eyes quickly glanced at the poor mother and son, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, clearly showing her dissatisfaction with them.

Tang Yiyi recalled what she had just heard and guessed that this woman couldn’t wait to drive the poor mother and son away. She could tell that the living conditions here were quite terrible and not conducive to recovering from illness. It could be said that this mother and son were indeed very pitiful. However, while she felt sympathy, she never intended to take on this trouble.

She was not a saint, nor could she save everyone she saw in need, so she just gave the middle-aged woman a cold look and asked, "Have they paid the rent for this month?"

The middle-aged woman didn’t expect Tang Yiyi to ask such a question. Under Tang Yiyi’s cold gaze, she felt even more uncomfortable, a tense feeling of being unable to breathe, so she instinctively confessed honestly, "Yes, they have."

Tang Yiyi smirked with a mocking gaze, "Since they’ve already paid the rent for this month, why are you still trying to drive them out? Don’t forget, this is a violation of the rental agreement. Are you planning to break the law?"

After all, Tang Yiyi was a First Level Superpower User, and though she was angry now, unknowingly, her tone carried an imposing pressure, which weighed down on the middle-aged woman, making it hard for her to breathe. The middle-aged woman was just an ordinary person; how could she withstand the pressure of a First Level Superpower User? Her face instantly turned pale, and after understanding the meaning behind Tang Yiyi’s words, she broke out in a cold sweat and stammered for a long time without having the courage to defend herself.

At this moment, she completely lost her previous arrogance, her plump body swayed as if she could collapse at any moment, looking extremely pitiable. Zhang Haoyu, who was in the arms of the young woman, watched all of this with wide eyes, successfully witnessing the process of the middle-aged woman transform from being arrogant and sly to being pitiful. His eyes flickered slightly as an understanding suddenly dawned on him.

When he saw the middle-aged woman easily driven out by Tang Yiyi, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He quickly walked up in front of Tang Yiyi, looked up at her, and pleaded, "Can you save my mom? I feel like you can save her?"

To be precise, it wasn’t a "feeling"; it was an "intuition." However, since he understood Tang Yiyi’s hints, he had this sense that he shouldn’t let anyone know about his abilities, so instinctively, he covered it up.

Only he overlooked the fact that if Tang Yiyi didn’t know his abilities, how could she have deliberately reminded him?

At this moment, when Tang Yiyi heard Zhang Haoyu’s words, she frowned. She was about to speak when footsteps came from outside the door. Shortly after, the store clerk who Tang Yiyi had thrown aside appeared, striding into the room.

Tang Yiyi closed her mouth again, saying nothing, but stepped forward, helped the young woman up, helped her sit properly, and placed the packaged box she held onto the small table. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The young woman gave Tang Yiyi a somewhat weak smile, but there was intense vigilance and scrutiny in her eyes. Zhang Haoyu’s words had reached her ears, and she understood that her son was making unreasonable demands, so a touch of embarrassment showed on her pale face. Fearing Zhang Haoyu might cause more trouble, she specially pulled him into her embrace and held him tightly to prevent him from speaking.

Zhang Haoyu turned his head, looking at the young woman with his big eyes disapprovingly. Seeing her pale face, his eyes immediately reddened, and he instinctively buried his face in her arms, extending his arms to hold her tightly, as if by doing so, he could keep her forever.

The store clerk, witnessing this scene, looked at Tang Yiyi with slight unease and couldn’t help but use his eyes to ask what they should do. Tang Yiyi gave him a reassuring glance, then smiled and said, "I am the owner of the Tang Family, ’Chef Tang’. The reason I came here today is because Tiantian won the grand prize, and I was hoping to deliver it personally. You must be his mother?"

Upon hearing this, the young woman’s eyes quickly flashed with surprise. She then nodded, her eyes losing some of their caution, and softly said, "I am Zhang Xue, Tiantian’s mother. The child was ignorant and troubled the two of you to come here. I apologize on his behalf."

Tang Yiyi was about to say a few courteous words when Zhang Xue continued to say, "However, since the package is delivered, I won’t hold up your time any longer. I haven’t been well lately and can’t see you off. I apologize for that."

These words were clearly meant for dismissal! Not only did Tang Yiyi and the store clerk behind her understand, but even Zhang Haoyu, who was in Zhang Xue’s arms, understood. He immediately began to struggle, looking at Zhang Xue in panic, "Mom, why?"

He couldn’t understand why Zhang Xue was eager to send them away. In his mind, Tang Yiyi was the person he had specially found to save his mom. If she left, what would happen to his mom?

Previously, when he accidentally saw the "Ant Egg Soup" online, he got a mystical feeling that this thing could save his mom! Thus, he specifically searched for the Tang Family’s official website, saw the announcement Tang Yiyi made about the "prize drawing," and participated in it!

Recently, he discovered that if he focused hard on a problem, he could get answers; hence, for the Tang Family’s prize drawing, he specifically used his still unfamiliar power, thinking for a long time before coming up with the answer. At that time, he didn’t know what this power was, nor did he know if his guess was correct. His heart was filled with anxiety and apprehension.

Later on, when the Tang Family store opened, he realized that he guessed correctly. This result filled him with joy, and he vaguely sensed that he could use this strange ability to save Zhang Xue. Thus, when he participated in the prize drawing, he again used this power and successfully won the grand prize!

Initially, he was also very wary of Tang Yiyi, but after she silently reminded him by mouthing words with her back to the camera, he immediately got an intuition—this person could save his mom!

He was still too young, couldn’t hide things in his heart, nor was he capable of scheming indirectly. He thought in straightforward terms, so when he saw Zhang Xue’s weak condition, he panicked and couldn’t help seeking help from Tang Yiyi, hoping she could save Zhang Xue.

But he never expected that Zhang Xue would actually want to send Tang Yiyi away!

Why exactly did she want to do this? If Tang Yiyi left, who else could save his mom?

As soon as Zhang Haoyu thought of the possibility of Zhang Xue dying, his heart was overcome with panic! So he twisted out of Zhang Xue’s embrace and ran straight to Tang Yiyi, clutching the hem of her clothes with determination in his big eyes. (To be continued.
