MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 4 Episode 48

“Do we really need to promote Ethan Smith now? Isn’t it too hasty?” the Steward frowned.

“Ethan’s performance is indeed not bad, but it is not nearly enough to face any family.”

Mike Taylor, with his hands clasped behind his back, said indifferently, “Even if we don’t promote him, do you think no one will target him?”

“Some things can’t be completely controlled. It’s better to go with the flow.”

Just as Mike Taylor said, Ethan’s emergence disrupted Mike’s plan.

From the moment Ethan arrived at the Taylor family, his name had already been remembered by others.

“Just do as I say.” Mike Taylor waved his hand.

The Steward said, “Okay, sir. When shall we schedule it?”

“In three days,” said Mike Taylor.

“Yes, sir.” The Steward nodded and agreed.

At this time, Ethan was accompanying Emily Taylor in cooking.

Ethan’s cooking skills were excellent, as he had cooked many dishes in the Johnson family back then.

But today, Emily wouldn’t let Ethan do any of the work.

With nothing to do, Ethan began to wander around the kitchen.

The Taylor family’s kitchen was equipped with various facilities, mostly to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.

At this moment, Ethan noticed a transparent glass jar containing a snow lotus.

Although the snow lotus was soaked in various medicinal juices, Ethan could still feel its extraordinary quality!

It was no exaggeration to say that this snow lotus had medicinal effects beyond any snow lotus Ethan had ever seen!

“A thousand-year old snow lotus?” Ethan frowned, his face showing some shock.

Such a sacred item was just sitting in the kitchen! It was simply a waste of resources!

Emily noticed Ethan’s gaze and said, “It’s a gift someone gave to my grandfather.”

Ethan exclaimed, “A thousand-year old snow lotus, I can’t even imagine. The highest medicinal effect I’ve seen is only six hundred years.”

Emily blinked and asked, “Do you like it?”

Ethan smiled bitterly, “Who wouldn’t like such a thing?”

Seeing this, Emily stood on her tiptoes and took the snow lotus from the cupboard.

“If you like it, take it,” she handed the snow lotus to Ethan.

Ethan hesitated and quickly shook his head, “That won’t do. If Mike Taylor finds out, he’ll think I’m greedy.”

“It’s just a snow lotus; I’m in charge of that.” Emily stuffed the snow lotus into Ethan’s hands.

“If I’m telling you to take it, just take it!” Emily pouted when she saw Ethan hesitating.

Ethan had no choice but to accept the snow lotus.

In his heart, he thought he should inform Mike Taylor when he had the chance.

Of course, if Mike Taylor agreed, that would be even better.

For Ethan, the benefits of a thousand-year-old Panax ginseng C.A.Mey were unimaginable.

Before long, the meal was ready.

Ethan quickly helped Emily to serve the food.

“Grandpa, it’s time to eat,” Emily called out to the upstairs.

Mike Taylor’s cold face instantly changed to a smiling one.

It was obvious that he only appeared amicable when he was with Emily.

“Try the food my granddaughter cooked,” Mike Taylor said with a grin.

He picked up a piece of fish and tasted it, then praised, “Delicious! So delicious! Ethan, you should try it too!”

Ethan also hurriedly picked up a piece of fish. There was no denying that Emily’s cooking skills were excellent. The fish was incredibly flavorful while still retaining the original taste of the ingredients.

“Delicious!” Ethan said sincerely.

Mike Taylor joked, “Ethan, I’m really benefiting from your good fortune.”

Ethan coughed and said, “Mike Taylor, please don’t tease me.”

Since it was lunch, Kylan Taylor and others didn’t come back.

Only three people were dining at the large dining table, making the atmosphere much more harmonious.

After that meal, Mike Taylor said, “Ethan, you can stay here for the next few days.”

“Stay here?” Ethan frowned slightly, “Isn’t that inappropriate, Mike Taylor?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it. You can even accompany me in chess when you’re free,” Mike Taylor said.

“If my grandpa asks you to stay, just stay,” Emily smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ethan nodded and said, “Alright, I shall do as you wish.”

After the meal, Ethan and Mike Taylor went upstairs.

Emily, as one of the most powerful people in the Taylor family, had business to attend to in the afternoon, so she left the house early.

Taking advantage of Emily’s absence, Ethan took out the thousand-year old snow lotus.

“Emily gave this to me, but it’s yours after all, so I thought I should let you know,” Ethan placed the snow lotus on the table.

Mike Taylor glanced at it and couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh, “It’s just a snow lotus. If Emily wants to give it to you, just take it.”

“Really?” Ethan asked tentatively.

Mike Taylor waved his hand, “This is nothing. I wouldn’t give you the real treasure.”

Ethan couldn’t help but be astonished.

This thousand-year old snow lotus was an unattainable treasure on the market.

Yet Mike Taylor treated it so lightly and simply gave it away.

No wonder they say that the top medicinal materials are all hoarded by big families.

The gap in resources really couldn’t be bridged by hard work and struggle alone.

At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Emily rushed back home early.

“There’s a party tonight, Ethan. Do you want to join me?” Emily said as soon as she got back home.

“A party? What kind of party?” Ethan asked.

Emily said, “Just an ordinary party, a place for eating, drinking, and playing.”

Although Emily spoke lightly, Ethan couldn’t help but say, “Is it really appropriate for me to attend such an occasion?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Emily blinked.

Mike Taylor also agreed, “Yes, it’s good to see more of the world.”

Ethan wasn’t against going but was worried about causing unnecessary trouble for the Taylor family.

But since Emily and Mike Taylor didn’t care, Ethan naturally stopped refusing.

At dusk, a Maybach 62S stopped in the yard.

A secretary got out of the car and respectfully bowed, saying, “Miss Taylor, it’s time to leave.”

Ethan and Emily Taylor came downstairs.

Upon seeing the face of the secretary, Ethan couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

The secretary’s face also flashed with astonishment!

Because the secretary was none other than the one who had accompanied Emily to River City!

Back then, Ethan clearly recalled that this secretary had always been disdainful of Ethan and even verbally attacked him on several occasions.

They never thought they’d meet here again.
