Not Ready For My Actions Chapter 3

"Isn't this Jack? Why is he here alone?"

Jack looked up and said with a smile: "It's Brother Sheng, isn't Vivian busy? I'm just hiding here to have some peace and quiet..."

The man who was speaking was called Alex Du, Vivian's cousin. He was also considered an elite member of the younger generation of the Du family and had a very good relationship with Vivian.

Alex laughed, patted Jack on the shoulder and said, "Today is your first time here, Jack, right? It's grandma's birthday, what gift have you prepared?"

Jack smiled and said, "A pair of ancient jade bracelets."

Alex smiled and said, "Grandma likes Vivian the most. Let alone the ancient jade bracelet, even if it's just an egg, Grandma will be very happy."

egg?

When Jack heard Alex say this, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a new idea.

Jack grinned at the few people, revealing a smile as bright as the sun.

"When it comes to birthday celebrations, the thought behind it is what matters most, not how much money is spent. I heard that the old lady has a bad diet and has been suffering from anorexia for a long time, so I want to cook a dish for her to celebrate her birthday and show my love for her!"

Alex opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking surprised: "Cooking for birthday? You cook it yourself?"

"Shock value +8, from Alex."

"Shock value +10, from Dylan Li."

"Shock value +12, from Connor."

...

Suddenly, some more information appeared in Jack's mind.

Shock value?

Jack turned his head and glanced at Alex and the chef who were stunned and shocked. Thinking about the system's explanation of the shock value, he suddenly understood something.

I see!

Using your skills or behavior to shock others will generate shock value!

Jack thought about it and his expression became a little strange.

Isn't this a kind of pretense?

Of course, this behavior is not annoying or overbearing, but a display of true strength.

After finding the correct way to collect shock value, Jack became more and more excited. He smiled and said, "Why do you look like that? Don't underestimate me."

Vivian's cousin Dylan praised in surprise: "You are really good at this! What dish are you going to cook?"

Jack smiled and said, "I don't know now. I'll decide in the kitchen based on the ingredients."

Alex said expectantly, "Sure. No matter what you do, the thought behind it is the most important. To be honest, I'm also very curious. Grandma likes Vivian the most. You are Vivian's husband. If you want to cook a dish for your birthday, Grandma will definitely be happier. Let's wait and see!"

Jack knew what was going on and was not panicked at all: "Okay, how about we go and take a look together?"

Alex nodded readily: "Then we must go together! Grandma is old. She lost her spiritual power when practicing martial arts a few years ago, which caused her physical condition to deteriorate and her appetite to gradually deteriorate. Now she not only eats less, but also eats very picky. Ordinary meals are simply not palatable to her. If you can really make her satisfied, she will definitely be happier."

The other cousins   also said noisily, "We must go! Let's go together!"

Vivian ended the greetings and walked over. He looked at Alex and the others who looked excited, then looked at Jack who looked normal, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Brother Sheng, what are you guys talking about?"

Dylan spoke first: "Hey, Jack just said that he wants to personally cook a dish for the old lady to express his feelings."

Cooking?

Vivian looked at Jack from the side. From her previous investigation on Jack, she didn't know that Jack could cook. What was he trying to do?

Trying to show off in front of the old lady?

Or is he dissatisfied with himself and is deliberately preparing to cause trouble?

Vivian was about to stop him, but Jack turned his head and smiled at her, and said confidently: "Vivian, don't worry, I know what's going on."

There are several ghosts!

Vivian was extremely distrustful of Jack in his heart. On the one hand, it was because of his ability, and on the other hand, it was because of his character. However, Vivian vaguely felt that Jack today seemed a little different from before.

In the past, Jack was very flamboyant, even arrogant. Today, Jack is still very confident, but without that arrogance. Instead, he gives people a more calm feeling.

Since Jack said so, Vivian stopped talking. After all, cooking for the old lady to celebrate her birthday was indeed a thoughtful gesture. Unless he was maliciously messing up, even if the food was bad, there would be no problem. If he was really malicious, then he could just go with the flow...

"Let's go and celebrate grandma's birthday!"

The birthday girl, Mrs. Shen, was sitting in the middle of the villa's living room. She was wearing a festive bright red robe, her white hair was neatly combed, her face was serious, and she was dealing with the guests who came to pay their respects with a faint polite smile.

Vivian walked over and bowed respectfully: "Hello, grandma. I wish you a long and healthy life."

Jack smiled and presented the box containing the ancient jade bracelet: "I wish grandma a long life and happiness!"

Mrs. Shen accepted the gift with a happy smile on her face. She reached out and held Vivian's hand: "Vivian, you haven't come to see grandma for a while."

Vivian showed a gentle smile on his cold face: "There have been a lot of things going on in the company recently..."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "You are married now. You have to take care of your work and family. I am still waiting to see my great-grandson."

Vivian looked a little unnatural: "Grandma, we are still young and have no plans yet."

"How can this be possible?"

Madam Grace patted Vivian's hand in a reproachful manner, then turned to look at Jack: "Xiao Chu, Vivian has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. You are her man, so you have to help share the burden. You can't let a woman always charge into battle outside..."

Jack smiled and glanced at Vivian beside him, and said readily: "Okay."

Alex laughed and interrupted, "Grandma, Jack just said that he would personally make a delicious dish for you to celebrate your birthday today."

Old Madam Grace turned around and stared at Jack in surprise: "Oh? Really?"

Jack smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that you don't have a good appetite, so I prepared a dish to show my appreciation."

Madam Grace looked at the silent Vivian next to her, and her eyes became more subtle: "Okay, Xiaochu, you are interested, then I will wait."
