Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Chapter 209: A New Cooperation Model

Seeing her mother like this, Cecilia Sterling playfully teased, "I’ve rarely seen you get misty-eyed growing up. Why are you suddenly so weepy?"

"People regress as they get older. In a few more years, Mom will be a little kid."

"Nonsense. People only start acting like kids after they’re sixty. You’re still young, Mom," Cecilia said.

Jasmine Sterling’s tears turned to laughter, and she gave her daughter a gentle push. "Looks like you learned how to be a smart-mouth in Lorcain. Go on, wash your hands."

After they all washed their hands and sat down at the dining table, Jasmine Sterling had already served them bowls of rice. Then, she took another bowl to ladle out the God Jumps Over the Wall.

She scooped the largest sea cucumber from the pot into Blair’s bowl. "Here, Blair, have some more."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Blair stood up to take the bowl, looking at the glistening, golden delicacy and subconsciously swallowing. "This is my first time having God Jumps Over the Wall."

"Then you’re in for a treat. This is my mom’s specialty. She has no rival in the entire world," Cecilia said.

Hearing this, Jasmine Sterling shot her daughter a mock-reproachful look before smiling. "Don’t listen to Cecilia’s nonsense."

But Cecilia said seriously, "I’m serious. I’ve eaten at countless restaurants in Lorcain, big and small. I’ve even eaten at that restaurant Mr. Jennings always goes to, and none of them are as good as yours."

Just then, Estelle Goodman, who couldn’t wait any longer, took a spoonful. Her eyes immediately lit up. "This smells amazing, Auntie! It’s so delicious, better than what they make at those high-end restaurants in Lorcain."

Cecilia’s eyes widened in agreement. "See, Mom? Even the real princess of Lorcain says so."

Jasmine Sterling, absolutely delighted by the children’s banter, beamed and nodded. "Alright, alright. As long as you think it’s good. If you like it, then eat up."

After speaking, she slowly sat down next to Cecilia and looked at her daughter. "When will Lily be done filming this TV series?"

"Soon, Mom. Her agency’s schedule has her finishing the shoot for sure before the New Year."

"Shoot... shoot who?"

Cecilia: "..."

Estelle Goodman laughed and explained, "Auntie, ’finishing the shoot’ means the actor has completed all their filming work. It doesn’t mean shooting someone."

"Oh." Jasmine Sterling nodded in understanding, then turned back to Cecilia. "Then what about her school? She probably doesn’t even have time for her exams, right?"

"Mom, don’t worry about all that. The Film Academy has special arrangements for students on set. Her coursework and exams won’t be affected. Once Lily wraps and comes back, I’ll bring her to Veridia to spend the New Year with you and Ethan."

"Get me an autographed photo of your sister later. I have a feeling your sister is going to be a huge star, so I’ll collect it now," Estelle Goodman said suddenly.

Blair chimed in, "Get me two, as well. I don’t watch dramas, but who knows, they might sell for a good price later."

Hearing this, Cecilia pouted. "You’re eating my mom’s food and already thinking about profiting off my sister?"

"So what? Auntie was the one who invited us."

"Didn’t you teach me that if you want to make money, you have to seize every hidden business opportunity?"

"Learning and applying it on the spot, are we? And on my family, no less?"

"Is that a problem...?"

Watching the kids bickering and laughing, the warmth in Jasmine Sterling’s eyes softened even more. She could see that her daughter was very happy in Lorcain. She had a good education, a good career, and good friends and a boyfriend.
