Amid the clamor, Chen Fengying saw that most people had arrived, but they still hadn't opened the cake box.
She said loudly, "Now that everyone is here, I have to make it clear that this cream cake is not invited by me, Chen Fengying, but by sister Chu Yuechu!"
"This morning, the Pei family's child got lost, and was found and brought back by Lu Yuanbao, so the eldest daughter of the Pei family gave Sister Chu two cream cakes as a thank you gift. Chu Yue took out one and asked us all to eat it together later."
"After you eat the cream cake, please remember that it was Chu Yue's treat. Don't gossip about it later."
One sister-in-law suddenly realized, "So it was Chu Yue who invited us. I was wondering why there was cream cake to eat."
Wang Chunling just heard about these things and asked Xia Xiaolan in a low voice, "Is it true?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded vigorously, "It's true, absolutely true! I was at the scene and saw the lost child of the Pei family. Miss Pei also said that you can ask her for anything, but Sister Yue didn't want anything, so Miss Pei sent someone to deliver the cream cake."
When Wang Chunling heard this, she subconsciously hugged the child in her arms tightly, because she remembered again that her child was also found by Chu Yue.
Some things that happen to other people seem like incredible fairy tales, but to Chu Yue, they seem so natural.
Only Chu Yue could have such a chance encounter.
The sisters-in-law kept chattering and yelling for a long time, and the children couldn't wait any longer and kept making a fuss about wanting to eat.
Especially Chen Dazhuang from Chen Fengying's family, who almost put his nose on the cream cake box and was slapped in the face by Chen Fengying.
"Da Zhuang, if you dare to put your saliva on it, I will teach you a lesson!"
Chen Dazhuang pouted with aggrieved look on his face and stood aside drooling wildly.
Finally, Chen Fengying handed the important task of opening the cake box and cutting the cake to Xia Xiaolan.
Because Xia Xiaolan had already eaten in the cake shop, and there were few cakes and many people, she took the initiative to say that she could not have her share.
Since Xia Xiaolan doesn't want to eat and she doesn't have any children, it's most appropriate to let her divide the food, so that everyone won't have to worry about who gets more and who gets less.
Chen Fengying pulled Xia Xiaolan and pushed her to the center in front of everyone.
Xia Xiaolan was timid to begin with and usually always stood at the outside. But now she had suddenly become the focus of everyone and she was so nervous.
Xia Xiaolan took a deep breath, tightened her throat and said, "Sisters-in-law, then I'll open it--"
Her fingers were trembling as she unwrapped the cream cake satin quilt. Little by little, she gently opened the box, and immediately there was a burst of wows.
"Wow……"
"It looks good! It looks a little better now!"
"So this is what a cream cake looks like. I'm going to write a letter to brag about it..."
Xia Xiaolan took a knife and cut it into pieces one by one. She left the first piece aside to be given to Song Hongmei later, and then to everyone else.
After a few minutes, everyone got a small portion, really a tiny bit.
But there is cream and cake base, which is enough to taste the flavor.
Chen Dazhuang waited for so long with his mouth watering. As soon as he got it, he ate it in one bite. It was so soft! So sweet! Even the most delicious pork stewed with vermicelli couldn’t compare to this taste!
Delicious, really delicious!
He finished his own portion and stared at the one in Chen Fengying's hand with his big round eyes.
Normally, mothers are willing to give the best food to their children, but today is an exception.
Chen Fengying poked Chen Dazhuang on the forehead and said, "Who told you to be so impatient and eat it in one gulp? This portion is mine. I've lived for thirty years, and I can barely have a good meal thanks to Sister Chu. There's no portion for you."
Chen Dazhuang felt so aggrieved and greedy, but he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just watched Chen Fengying leaning sideways and eating the sweet and delicious cream cake bite by bite. He could only lick his lips and swallow his saliva.
"Delicious... This thing is so delicious, no wonder it's so expensive!"
"Oh my god... this is something only gods can eat, right? How come I got to eat it today?"
"Did you get that by yourself? You got it by Miss Chu! Do you think that this portion I ate is worth two dollars?"
"I think it's more than two, it's five! I'll get something nice to give to Miss Chu later."
"You're right. We can't eat other people's food for free. Sister Chu treated us to cream cake, so we have to return the favor—"
As you and I were chattering, these words happened to be heard by one person.
"What did you say - Chu Yue invites you to eat cream cake?!" Fang Xiuli's voice suddenly came, scaring the sisters-in-law who were immersed in the sweetness.
They all turned their heads and looked at Fang Xiuli who suddenly appeared. For some reason, they felt guilty, as if they had eaten something secretly and forgot to wipe their mouths.
What a coincidence! Fang Xiuli didn't come back earlier or later, so why did she come back at this time?
Fang Xiuli looked at the group of people and asked, "Speak up? How come eating the cream cake has poisoned your mouths and made you mute?"
"Xiu Li...you're back." In the end, Chen Fengying was pushed out. Facing Fang Xiu Li's anger, "It was Sister Chu who invited us. You were not here, so I didn't invite you. Don't be angry. There's more. You can eat with us."
"Hmph, who wants to eat what she treats me to? Am I Fang Xiuli someone who can't afford a cream cake?" Fang Xiuli's angry eyes swept over the cake placed in the middle.
The cake was a mess, with not a single piece left, but from the remaining paper box, you could tell it was a whole piece.
It turned out to be a whole one!
Fang Xiuli was so furious that she tightened her grip on her hands until they were clenched into fists.
If you look closely, you will find that Fang Xiuli is also holding a bag from the Café de Coral Cake Shop in her hand.
She bought it after leaving Chu Yue's shop and returning to the cake shop.
The prices in the cake shop opened by Pei Hanchuan are quite strange. Small pieces of cake are cheap, but a whole cake is surprisingly expensive. To put it bluntly, a cake is not just a cake, but a symbol of status.
The price of the whole cake was not something that even Fang Xiuli could afford.
So Fang Xiuli bought several pieces of cake and put them together into a small one, thinking of bringing it back for her sisters-in-law in the compound to taste and let them remember her kindness.
Unexpectedly, she came back late and was beaten to it by Chu Yue!
What a way to win people’s hearts!
This must be Chu Yue declaring war on her! She wants everyone to be soft-hearted and stand on her side like Wang Xiulan.
Fang Xiuli was caught in an emotional whirlpool. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her pretty face was filled with anger.
"snort."
She snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, the bag of cake in her hand rattling.
