Zhuang Mingyue was in a good mood today. She went to the kitchen, put on an apron, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and prepared to do it herself.

Wu Ma came over, "Do you need my help?"

Zhuang Mingyue refused, "No, I've done it several times and I'm good at it. Mother Wu, go and do other things."

"Okay, just call me if you need anything."

"Um."

Making chestnut cake is not complicated. Bai Yushu walked in, looked at the busy people, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mingyue, when did you start making chestnut cake? Can you teach me?"

"Mother Wu taught me this. If you want to learn it, I'll give you a tutorial recipe when the time comes! It's not difficult to learn it."

"Okay! Otherwise, I'll watch you do it from the side. Brother Zhan is chatting with them. I don't understand anything, so I just want to come over and see you. Do you need my help?"

Zhuang Mingyue: "Then please help wash these dishes. I've already done half of them. Remember to be careful."

"Yes." Bai Yushu nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and adjusted the water temperature of the faucet, "Mingyue, how did you meet Mr. Jiang? I can see that he seems to like you."

Zhuang Mingyue pounded the steamed chestnuts into a puree, lowered her head, and was very serious. She did not answer the question, but casually said something else instead: "...how are you doing in the Mathematical Olympiad class?

When I was here before, the exercise book Teacher Gao gave me was a bit difficult, and I have only done half of it now."

Bai Yushu replied: "It's not bad, but the learning atmosphere in class is so good. Apart from studying for exams, I don't have time to do my own things." She sighed deeply, "I don't understand some of them.

I can only ask Teacher Gao, and at home I can only ask Brother Zhan. But he has been coming back very late recently, so if he doesn’t know how, I can just leave it alone."

"What about you...do you blame me for taking your place? That you couldn't get into the Mathematical Olympiad class?"

Zhuang Mingyue shook her head: "There is nothing to blame you. Survival of the fittest is like this in class. As long as you have good grades, no one will say anything no matter what you do. There is a way out everywhere. This is what Teacher Han told me."

Bai Yushu: "That's true... Oh, by the way, how is your relationship with Ying Yueyao now?"

Zhuang Mingyue glanced at her, "What's wrong?"

She asked Ying Yueyao if it happened today?

Bai Yushu washed the bowl, lowered his head and said a little lonely: "I heard the conversation between Uncle Zhuang and Brother Zhan today. Uncle Zhuang wants Brother Zhan to be with Ying Yueyao! Mingyue... what do you think we should do?"

Zhuang Mingyue pretended to think, looking very embarrassed: "I don't know, if my brother likes it, as a sister, I will naturally help them."

Bai Yushu probably didn't expect that she would get this answer. She didn't hold the bowl firmly in her hand and fell into the pool. She forced a smile and said, "But... isn't it Brother Zhan that you like? You are so easy.

Do you want him to be with someone else?"

Zhuang Mingyue raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Bai Yushu with a smile, "Yes, but... now it's the kind of love that a sister has for her brother."

"And... you can't force things about feelings."

"I'm going to see if there's osmanthus jam in the refrigerator."

Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to talk to her about these useless things, especially anything about the banquet.

When dinner was served, the chestnut cake Zhuang Mingyue made was almost ready. She made a lot, enough for seven or eight people.

When the table was served, Jiang Yushu sat at the main seat, Zhuang Haisheng sat on the left, Zhuang Mingyue sat on the right near him, and Bai Yushu sat next to her.

A table full of food for five people was too much to finish.

Zhuang Haisheng looked kind and said with a smile: "These are home-cooked dishes. I hope Mr. Jiang doesn't dislike them."

"No." While speaking, Jiang Yushu's eyes fell on Zhuang Mingyue from time to time.

"As long as you don't dislike it, Mingyue won't give Mr. Jiang food."

Zhuang Mingyue gave him a piece of candied pork and freshly made chestnut cake.

"Try to see if it's very sweet. If it is, I'll put less sugar in it next time."

"Did you make this too?" Jiang Yushu said as he sandwiched the candied pork.

Zhuang Mingyue nodded and deliberately lied: "I don't know how to do much, just these two things."

"Okay, let me try it."

"How does it taste?"

Jiang Yushu tasted it: "Not bad."

These are just for Zhuang Haisheng to see. Most of the time in the Jiang family, Jiang Yushu is leaning on her.

"I've never seen you treat me so well before at home, and you behave so well today?" When Jiang Yushu spoke, the eyes that looked at her were like a whirlpool in the deep sea, able to attract people into it.

To outsiders, this look is not innocent.

The family Jiang Yushu was talking about was naturally the Jiang family.

Zhuang Mingyue had never experienced this before and didn't know how to answer. She could only bite the bullet and said: "In my house, you are a guest. Of course, if I treat you well, eat it quickly. It won't taste good after it gets cold.

"

This meal was the longest meal Zhuang Mingyue had ever eaten.

It took two full hours to eat.

A group of people were very drunk, and Zhuang Haisheng took out his collection of red wine, worth hundreds of thousands, and white wine.

The three of them drank it straight to the bottom.

Zhuang Haisheng was helped back to his room to rest.

Jiang Yushu is a heavy drinker. The doctor said that it will be a long process for his legs to heal. On rainy days, the old disease in his legs will still relapse, so he cannot drink at all.

until nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhuang Mingyue helped Jiang Yushu sit on the sofa, and Wang Mei brought the sobering soup cooked by Wu's mother.

"Brother Zhan, you've also drank a lot, would you like some?"

"No, I'll go back to the room first. Remember to get some rest early." Zhan Yan's voice made Bai Yushu sound a little cold, and even the look in his eyes was not as gentle as usual.

Because of the bright moon?

But Brother Zhan doesn’t like Mingyue, right?

She knows it.

Otherwise, when Mingyue liked him so much and did so many crazy things, she didn't see Brother Zhan being moved at all.

Maybe...she is overthinking it!

"I understand, Brother Zhan."

We just discussed such a big business at the dinner table. Isn't he happy?

Zhuang Haisheng and Zhan Yan are both veterans of the wine shop, and they cannot refuse to socialize.

Zhuang Mingyue held the hangover soup and said, "Drink some, and you won't feel uncomfortable after a while."

"Feed me?"

"Feed you."

It can be seen that he is still rational now.

I saw that the hall was completely dim and only the servants were clearing the dining table.

Zhuang Mingyue: "Actually, you don't have to agree to my father's cooperation because of me."

He was always giving and being kind to her, and she couldn't pay him back.

"The fact that your brother is interested in that piece of land on Chunhua Road means that he does have a vision, but that piece of land is nothing to me." He looked at her, as if he wanted to see through her deeply, and drank.

After drinking, even the voice became more magnetic, as if bewitching, "The greatest value is not it, but you..."

"Mingyue...you know what I want."

His breath spread on her face, and the smell of alcohol mixed with his body smell was somewhat pleasant.
