35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
"Grandma, you've been fooled by her. Jiang Li is just a village girl. How could she possibly cook something like what Yulifang does?"
"She must have asked someone to buy pastries from there, and then replaced her own pastries with Yulifang's. Yes, that must be it!"
The more Li Sixue thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. She said with great certainty.
When the people around heard what Li Sixue said, they couldn't help but believe it a little.
Although Yulifang was newly opened, these pastries had already gained a good reputation and they had asked people to buy them before.
Jiang Li looks so young and beautiful, but just because she can be a lady in the living room doesn’t mean she can be a good cook.
Li Sixue then started shouting again. The more she spoke, the more she felt that her idea was right, and her emotions became more and more agitated.
Grandma looked at her as if she were a fool, sneering from time to time.
Li Sixue, who was holding her head high and looking extremely proud, felt a pang in her heart when she saw her grandmother like this, and suddenly a bad premonition came to her mind.
"Grandma, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
"Who are you calling grandma? Who is your grandma? Don't try to be related. I don't have a granddaughter like you who has small breasts and no brains."
Grandma glanced at Li Sixue's chest and said indifferently.
Everyone hadn't noticed it at first, but now that grandma reminded them, they all turned their heads and stared at Li Sixue's chest again and again.
At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds. Sure enough, it was very small...
Everyone's expressions suddenly became complicated.
Li Sixue was originally a little self-conscious because of her figure, and she usually walked with a hunched back.
Now that her physical defect was pointed out in public and was being stared at by so many people, she blushed with shame.
Li Sixue hugged her chest with her hands, trying her best to block everyone's gaze.
The more she acted like this, the more curious everyone became, especially the young people. They went from looking at her furtively at first to looking at her openly now, with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Li Sixue suddenly felt humiliated. She kept stamping her feet, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Just at this moment, grandma told me even more explosive news.
"I personally made this pastry with my grandson's wife. I watched it with my own eyes. How could it be wrong?"
"I personally put the pastries into the steamer, and I personally tasted them after they came out of the pot. They tasted just like they do now. No, I should say they tasted even better than they do now."
"Li Sixue, Li Sixue, you're talking without thinking. I'm an old woman, do I really need to lie to you?"
"You're not just questioning Jiang Li now, you're also disrespecting an old man like me. With your upbringing, it's not unfair that our headmaster looks down on you, isn't it?"
The words that grandma said were particularly hurtful, and Li Sixue felt as if they were pierced to the core.
At this time, someone in the crowd belatedly remembered something.
"Chang'an, Yulifang is owned by your family, right? I remember you sold cakes privately before, and they tasted pretty good!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Now that you mention it, I remember that I bought these cakes back then. Later, I heard that cakes were no longer sold privately, but had opened a shop directly in the department store. I went there to buy a few times!"
"The cakes at Yulifang are getting better and better, even better than before, but the taste of the two is still somewhat similar. I didn't expect it was really opened by you, Changan? Why didn't you tell me earlier? The publicity is a bit inadequate!"
Several people who had bought cakes came forward to speak on Shen Changan’s behalf.
This further proves that Yulifang was opened by Shen Changan, and it is normal for Jiang Li to make such pastries.
Li Sixue is a person who is not very smart. Even though things have been explained so clearly, she still has a strange way of thinking.
"So what if Brother Shen opened Yulifang? Doesn't this further prove that Jiang Li took Yulifang's pastries and pretended they were his own?"
As soon as Li Sixue said this, not only her grandmother looked at her as if she were a fool, but most of the people present looked at her as if she were a fool.
Including several of her brothers, they were all gently pulling Li Sixue's clothes, signaling her to speak less.
After all, Li Sixue has no brains, and no one knows about it except her family.
Now that she is speaking out in public, isn't this exposing her own weaknesses?
Now everyone knows that she is brainless, but Li Sixue still hasn't reacted.
Until someone softly reminded him, "Hasn't it ever occurred to you that the pastry chef at Yulifang is Jiang Li?"
The person who said this had a very low voice, but it was the only voice in the quiet crowd, so it seemed very loud.
After being reminded by others, Li Sixue also thought of this possibility, but she refused to admit it.
"Impossible, this is impossible. Jiang Li is so young, how could she possibly make such delicious pastries?"
"Is there an age limit for making pastries? This is the first time I've heard of that!"
"Some gifted people show extraordinary abilities at a young age. Jiang Li might be one of them."
"Making pastries requires more than just talent; it also requires hard work and study. This just goes to show that Jiang Li is a hard-working person!"
Many young people stood up to speak for Jiang Li because they had all eaten the pastries from Yulifang and were really obsessed with the taste.
Jiang Li is really amazing to be able to make such delicious pastries at such a young age.
"Our little Li is not only good at making pastries, but also very good at drawing portraits! The paintings are so realistic and much more vivid than those taken in photo studios, thousands of times better."
Grandma watched from afar as Yuying returned home and brought the portrait Jiang Li had drawn for her. She suddenly raised her voice and spoke happily.
The sudden change in the old lady still made many people feel something was unusual.
They followed the old lady's gaze and saw from afar that the nanny Yuying, who had always been serving her, was holding something in her hands.
When Yuying came over, the neighbors deliberately made way for her.
When they got closer, everyone realized that what Yuying was holding in her hand was most likely a framed painting.
The picture frame is covered with red cloth, and you can't see what's inside unless you open it.
Yuying walked to the old lady with a smile on her face. The old lady raised the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at everyone with a smile on her face.
"Everyone, take a good look! This portrait was painted for me personally by my future granddaughter-in-law. We hadn't even met at the time. Based solely on my grandson Chang'an's description, Jiang Li's painting has reached this level."
As the old lady spoke, she had already pinched a corner of the red silk.
She exerted a little force with her hands and pulled down the red silk in front of everyone.
The portrait is life-size and looks exactly like the old lady herself.
The old lady stood next to the portrait and made the same expression.
