Chapter 268 Envy and Yearning
That night, after taking a shower, Jian Yue stood on the balcony in her coat and was in a daze for a while.
Looking at the faint lights in the distance, I felt a little lost.
Suddenly, I saw my sister-in-law Zhu Jinghua walking downstairs.
Jian Yue smiled instinctively and took the initiative to greet her, "Sister-in-law."
However, Zhu Jinghua seemed not to have heard it. He didn't even raise his head, let alone look at Jian Yue.
Jian Yue was completely stunned. She never expected that Zhu Jinghua would have such a strong opinion of her.
He stared blankly at Zhu Jinghua's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed.
I don't understand how I have offended my sister-in-law and why Zhu Jinghua is so hostile to me.
Thinking back on my behavior after coming to the Jiang family, I don't think I have done anything excessive.
Jian Yue sighed and decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Zhu Jinghua to resolve the conflict between them.
After all, we are all family, and it is not a solution to continue to be in a stalemate like this.
What's more, I will be living here for quite some time.
Jiang Zeyuan also saw this scene and walked towards his wife.
He gently put his arm around Jian Yue's shoulders and asked softly, "What's wrong, wife?"
Jian Yue frowned slightly, "I don't know what's going on, but my sister-in-law seems to be very dissatisfied with me. I just greeted her, but she ignored me."
Jiang Zeyuan frowned and said decisively, "Don't worry about your sister-in-law. She can do whatever she wants. Don't let her affect your mood. You just need to be yourself and take good care of our little home and children."
Jian Yue sighed softly, "But we are a family after all. It's not good to keep being in a stalemate like this."
Jiang Zeyuan hugged Jian Yue tightly, "So what if we're a family? She treated you like this, you don't have to be so warm and polite. If she keeps making trouble like this, we don't have to keep accommodating her. Don't let your imagination run wild, just focus on our own lives."
Jian Yue felt warm in her heart and leaned into Jiang Zeyuan's arms.
"Hubby, look at the stars in the sky!"
Jiang Zeyuan raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky.
Jian Yue raised her chin slightly, her eyes sparkling, and pointed at the brightest star in the sky. "Do you know? In ancient legends, each star represents a soul, and they protect the people they love in the vast universe."
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Jiang Zeyuan with a gentle smile on her face.
Jiang Zeyuan looked at Jian Yue intently, full of love.
"Then you are the brightest star in my life, lighting up my whole world."
Jian Yue smiled and shook her head, then pointed to another star, "Look, isn't that star special? Maybe it has its own story, too. The light of the stars has traveled through time and space to come before our eyes. They have witnessed countless stories and carry endless thoughts."
Jiang Zeyuan put his arm around Jian Yue's shoulders and held her tightly in his arms.
"We are so small in this vast universe, but our love can be as eternal as the stars."
Jian Yue leaned on Jiang Zeyuan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling full of security.
They stood quietly on the balcony, immersed in the romance of the starry sky.
Jiang Zeyuan lowered his head and gently kissed Jian Yue on the forehead.
This scene of theirs was noticed by Jiang Wenqi.
Jiang Wenqi had come out to get some fresh air when she accidentally saw her second brother and his wife hugging each other tightly on the balcony, gazing at the starry sky.
That scene made her heart move slightly.
Standing there, watching them quietly, with envy and yearning in his eyes.
I have always been a little hesitant about dating.
Seeing my second brother and his wife so happy, I actually started thinking about finding a partner.
Maybe I should give it a chance?
Ask yourself silently in your heart.
Jiang Wenqi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The next morning, when it was still light, Jian Yue got out of bed quietly.
After washing up, prepare a hearty breakfast for your family.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, the nanny was tidying up the kitchen utensils. When she saw Jian Yue coming in, her face was full of surprise.
"Second Young Madam, why are you in the kitchen so early? Do you have any instructions?"
"I want to make breakfast for everyone."
The nanny was surprised and said, "You're going to do it yourself? How can that be possible? Just leave these things to me."
Jian Yue waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I want everyone to have a taste of my cooking skills. Please help me."
Jian Yue took out the fresh pork, washed it, cut it into minced meat, and set it aside.
Next, take out the hair algae and dried scallops, soak the hair algae until soft, and soak the dried scallops in warm water.
While waiting, start preparing other ingredients.
The nanny watched Jian Yue's skilled movements and couldn't help but admire, "Second Young Madam, you are so skilled. You must cook a lot."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I often cooked for myself when I was in South Island. I'm used to it."
After preparing the ingredients for the oyster omelette, Jian Yue began to cut the ingredients for the cold shredded vegetable dish.
Cut carrots, cucumbers and tofu skin into thin strips and place on a plate.
Then, she prepared a bowl of salad dressing, mixing together minced garlic, light soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili oil and other seasonings and stirring them evenly.
At this time, the nanny washed the rice according to Jian Yue's instructions.
Jian Yue put the soaked hair algae and dried scallops into the pot, added appropriate amount of water, brought to a boil, then added minced meat and rice, and simmered over low heat.
Meanwhile, she started cooking an oyster omelette on another stove.
Finally, Jian Yue placed the cold shredded vegetables on a plate, poured the cold dressing on them, and stirred them evenly.
A hearty breakfast is ready.
When the family got up one after another, they were surprised to see the fresh breakfast on the dining table.
Jiang Wenqi was the first to exclaim, "Wow, sister-in-law, is this the breakfast you made? It looks so delicious!"
Jiang Zeyuan also came down carrying the children, "Wife, you have worked hard."
Zhou Wanyue even praised: "Yueyue, your cooking skills are really amazing. This breakfast looks so appetizing."
Everyone sat down and started to enjoy the breakfast made by Jian Yue.
The minced meat, hair vegetable and scallop congee has a delicious taste, the oyster omelette is fragrant, and the cold-mixed shredded vegetables is refreshing and delicious.
Jiang Zeyuan put the children on the children's high chairs, first picked up a small spoon, scooped a small spoonful of porridge, blew it gently, and then brought it to Brother Xiaoyi's mouth.
Brother Xiaoyi looked at the spoon in his father's hand, opened his little mouth, and swallowed the porridge in one bite with a satisfied expression.
Jiang Zeyuan smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoyi is so good, eat slowly."
Then, he fed Yaoyao porridge. Yaoyao ate happily, her little mouth moving all the time, looking very cute.
The whole family enjoyed the meal with gusto and praised Jian Yue's cooking skills.
Even Zhu Jinghua showed a hint of discomfort on his face.
