Chapter 721 - 082 Liu Mei_2
Liu Mei, her face flushed with embarrassment and puffing with anger, huffed loudly, and just when everyone thought the two of them were going to start arguing, they were surprised to find that Liu Mei, who was known to not tolerate any dissent, did not say a word and kept silent.
This was not a good sign. Lady Liu knew Liu Mei fairly well, it would have been better if she had started arguing right then and there. Now, was there something else going on?
Because of the tension between Lady Liu and Liu Mei, the reunion among the sisters gradually lost its warmth. The other women, seeing that things were amiss, excused themselves one by one.
Lady Liu still had a favorable impression of these women and promised to visit the Lin family valley more often in the future.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan had thoughtfully prepared a box of Rice Flower Fragrance pastries for each of them as a gift. Although the pastries from Rice Flower Fragrance were delicious, they were no longer a novelty for the Liu family who often enjoyed them.
Lin Yuan had intentionally prepared many pastries before her arrival because she wasn’t clear about the other elders in the Liu family and didn’t know if Lady Liu would visit other relatives for the New Year, which was why she had prepared extras. Now, they would make perfect gifts for the aunts.
Upon seeing the prominent "Rice Flower Fragrance" characters on the pastry boxes, the women were overjoyed. Not to mention Rice Flower Fragrance pastries, even ordinary pastries were not something some of them could enjoy regularly. They grew to like Lady Liu’s eldest daughter even more, and their envy for Lady Liu edged on boundless.
Liu Mei had not intended to take one, but she could not resist the delicious pastries. Even though she had only bought the cheapest products from Rice Flower Fragrance once, she still vividly remembered the taste.
As she took the pastries from Lin Yuan’s hands, Liu Mei smiled, "Alright then, my dear niece has been thoughtful indeed. Bring your brothers and sisters over to Aunt Mei’s place to play sometime."
