Chapter 222 I forgot to wipe my mouth after eating secretly
Amidst 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 for you, Chen Fengying, but for 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 said she would treat us all to a meal together later."
"After you eat the cream cake, please remember that Chu Yue invited you. Don't gossip about it later."
One sister-in-law suddenly realized, "So it was Chu Yue who invited us. I was wondering why we had cream cakes to eat."
Wang Chunling had just heard about these things and whispered to Xia Xiaolan, "Is it true?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded vigorously. "It's true, absolutely true! I was there at the time and even saw the missing child from the Pei family. Miss Pei even said she'd give her anything she wanted, 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 thought 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 coincidence.
The sisters-in-law kept talking and yelling for a long time, and the children couldn't wait any longer and kept making noises and eager to eat.
Especially Chen Dazhuang from Chen Fengying's family, who almost put his nose on the box of cream cake and was slapped in the face by Chen Fengying.
"Da Zhuang, if you dare to spit on it, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Chen Dazhuang pouted with aggrieved look on his face and stood aside drooling wildly.
Finally, Chen Fengying gave the 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 for her to 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 in front of everyone, in the center.
Xia Xiaolan was originally timid and usually stood at the outside. Now she had suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention and was extremely 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 untied the cream cake satin quilt. Little by little, she gently opened the box, and immediately heard a burst of wows.
"Wow……"
"It looks good! It looks a little better!"
"So this is what a cream cake looks like. I'm going to write back and brag about it..."
Xia Xiaolan took a knife and cut it into pieces. 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, a really 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 it was served, he opened his mouth and ate it in one mouthful. It was so soft! And so sweet! Even the most delicious pork stewed with vermicelli couldn't compare to this taste!
Delicious, so delicious!
He finished his own portion and stared at the one in Chen Fengying's hand with his big round eyes.
Generally speaking, 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, your mother, have lived for thirty years and can barely eat a good meal thanks to Sister Chu. There is no portion for you."
Chen Dazhuang felt so wronged 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 ate it today?"
"Did you get that by yourself? You got it thanks to Miss Chu! Do you think my portion 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 invited us to eat 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 sweet taste.
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 and asked, "Speak up! How come eating the cream cake has made you speechless?"
"Xiu Li...you're back." In the end, Chen Fengying was pushed out. Facing Fang Xiu Li's anger, she said, "Sister Chu invited us. You happened to be away, so I didn't invite you. Don't be angry, there's more. You can eat too."
"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 carton, you could tell it was a whole piece.
It’s actually a whole one!
Fang Xiuli was so angry that she tightened her grip and clenched her fists.
If you look closely, you will find that Fang Xiuli is also holding a bag from the Kasling Cake Shop in her hand.
She bought it after leaving Chu Yue's shop and returning to the cake shop.
The prices in Pei Hanchuan's cake shop 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 the sisters-in-law in the compound to try 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 fell into 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.
