Chapter 311: Sister-in-law's Family Background is Strong
Jian Yue raised her chin fearlessly, "I won't regret it. I only regret saving you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Hongwen suddenly reached out to stop her, "Don't think about leaving so easily."
Jian Yue glared at him, "What do you want to do? How dare you do this in broad daylight?"
Li Hongwen sneered, "Mess around? What am I afraid of? Do you think Jiang Zeyuan can always protect you?"
Just then, passers-by passing by the bookstore noticed their argument and cast curious glances at them.
Jian Yue's heart tightened, and she took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.
"Li Hongwen, you'd better leave immediately, or I will call the police."
Li Hongwen hesitated for a moment, but finally put his hand down.
Early in the morning, Jian Yue tied on a neat apron and stood in front of the stove.
Today I am preparing a special gift for Jiang Wenqi’s engagement party - crystal cake.
Jian Yue first carefully sifted the glutinous rice flour, starch and white sugar to ensure that the powder was fine and free of particles.
At this time, Aunt Li came in and was full of admiration when she saw Jian Yue's serious look.
"Madam Second Young Master, the way you make snacks is really beautiful. I can tell at a glance that you have extraordinary skills."
Jian Yue smiled slightly, then slowly poured in an appropriate amount of water, stirring gently with chopsticks as she poured.
Aunt Li watched from the side and nodded continuously.
"Madam Second Young Master, you are so skilled. This crystal cake must be delicious."
"Aunt Li, you're too kind! I was just taking advantage of the situation~"
After stirring it into a uniform batter, Jian Yue added a few drops of vanilla essential oil.
In an instant, a faint sweet fragrance filled the air.
Afterwards, Jian Yue took out the mold she had prepared in advance and lightly brushed a thin layer of cooking oil on the inner wall of the mold to prevent the crystal cake from sticking.
Aunt Li helped pass the tools.
Jian Yue carefully poured the batter into the mold, filling every corner to ensure that the crystal cake would be perfectly shaped.
After pouring the batter, don’t forget to garnish it with a few brightly colored preserved fruits, red, green, and yellow, as dazzling as gems.
Aunt Li looked at the beautiful crystal cake and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Second Young Master Madam, this crystal cake is like a work of art, it's so beautiful."
"Yes! It looks pretty good." Jian Yue smiled.
Next, place the mold into a steamer that is already steaming.
As the steam rises, an enticing aroma gradually fills the kitchen.
After a while, Jian Yue felt that the time was about right and gently lifted the lid of the pot.
I saw that the crystal cake in the mold had become crystal clear, and the color of the preserved fruit was even more vivid and eye-catching in the transparent cake.
I poked the crystal cake lightly with chopsticks and felt its soft and elastic texture.
Jian Yue nodded with satisfaction, carefully took out the crystal cake and set it aside to cool.
Aunt Li looked at the plate of exquisite crystal cake with great admiration.
After the crystal cake has cooled, I carefully selected a beautiful box.
Jian Yue placed the crystal cakes neatly one by one.
In addition to the crystal cake, Jian Yue also prepared a golden hairpin.
She placed the golden hairpin in an exquisite brocade box together with the box containing the crystal cake.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zeyuan, holding Xiaoyi and Yaoyao, attended Jiang Wenqi's engagement banquet with Jian Yue.
The whole family was dressed up and attracted a lot of attention.
Jian Yue held the carefully prepared gift in her hands, with a joyful smile on her face.
When they arrived at the banquet, they were overwhelmed by the lively atmosphere.
When Jiang Wenqi saw Jian Yue and the others, she immediately came over to greet them.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother, my little nephews and nieces~"
Jian Yue handed the gift to Jiang Wenqi, "Wenqi, this is something I prepared specially for you. And this golden hairpin, I hope you like it."
Jiang Wenqi opened the box and saw the exquisite pastries and beautiful golden hairpins. She was so moved that her eyes turned red.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you so nice to me?"
Jian Yue smiled lightly and said sincerely, "Because you are very good to me too!"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yu who was standing next to Jiang Wenqi and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The man in front of him was indeed quite gentle-looking. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had a handsome face, and was dressed in a well-fitting suit. He exuded a refined temperament.
However, Jian Yue secretly felt that he was indeed not worthy of his sister-in-law Jiang Wenqi in many aspects.
Jiang Wenqi is lively, cheerful, enthusiastic and generous.
Although Lin Yu looks gentle, his eyes seem to lack decisiveness.
She thought to herself that perhaps her first impression was too subjective, but the feeling remained.
Thinking of her mother-in-law's previous opposition to this marriage, Jian Yue could understand it.
After all, as a mother, I always hope that my children can find a partner who is excellent in all aspects.
But the mother-in-law's opposition was only moderate, and she did not forcibly interfere with Jiang Wenqi's choice.
This also made Jian Yue feel grateful for her mother-in-law's open-mindedness.
Jian Yue observed Lin Yu's every move calmly.
At this moment, his eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Yu's family, especially when he saw Lin Yu's mother, his brows tightened slightly.
The mother-in-law didn't seem to be an easy person to get along with, with a picky and arrogant look in her eyes.
Jian Yue couldn't help but worry about the future relationship between Jiang Wenqi and her mother-in-law.
But on second thought, my sister-in-law's family background is strong enough, and the other party should not dare to bully her.
Jian Yue withdrew her gaze and stopped thinking about it. Everyone has his or her own path.
That's not your business.
At Jiang Wenqi's engagement party, the lively atmosphere continued to heat up.
However, as time went on, some discordant situations gradually emerged.
Many relatives of Lin Yu's family saw Jiang Wenqi's father Jiang Lin appear, and they gathered around him, smiling and trying to get close to him.
"Colonel Jiang, I've long heard of your name! I've long heard that you're a very important figure in Beijing." A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes said flatteringly.
"Yes, Colonel Jiang, please take care of us in the future." Another man quickly agreed.
Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan watched this scene from the side and shook their heads helplessly.
Jian Yue frowned slightly, "This is too much. They have ruined the peace of our engagement party."
Jiang Zeyuan patted Jian Yue's hand gently, signaling her to stay calm.
When Jiang Wenqi saw this scene, she felt unhappy.
He glared at Lin Yu angrily and said, "Look at your relatives. What has become of them?"
Lin Yu also felt embarrassed, "Wenqi, don't be angry, I will go find my father and let him solve this matter."
After saying that, Lin Yu hurried to find his father.
After a while, Lin Yu and his father came into the crowd.
Father Lin said in a serious tone, "Everyone, today is the children's engagement party. Don't be so overly enthusiastic. Let's disperse."
Although Lin Yu's relatives were somewhat reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Lin's father's words and dispersed one after another.
Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Wenqi's expression also eased a little.
"Wenqi, don't let these little things affect your mood. Today is a good day for you." Jian Yue consoled.
Jiang Wenqi nodded and smiled.
