Lin Xiaowan selected a painting and changed it according to Hong Minhua’s instructions. Then, she sent the picture to Hong Minhua.
Her anthropomorphic series was created on canvas with her brushes. She did not have much experience initially, and her details were crude.
Hong Minhua replied very quickly.
[Hong Minhua: This is very good! Use this as a guide. However, the others have to be better than this one.]
[Lin Xiaowan: I understand-]
A few days later, Gu Yuwu finally returned. She had a live broadcast, and seeing that Lin Xiaowan was bored, she invited the latter to join her.
Lin Xiaowan was not very keen. “I don’t want to go. You have so many fans. There’ll definitely be a lot of people coming to watch you. They might not even like me. It’s best that I don’t go.]
However, after rejecting Gu Yuwu’s invitation, Hong Minhua called and invited her to her house.
Lin Xiaowan had a hard time socializing with a group of elders so she also rejected Hong Minhua. However, Hong Minhua did not give up.
[Hong Minhua: There are no outsiders. Your senior brother, Xiao Han, will be coming as well. He just won the grand prize. You can also discuss things with him.]
Lin Xiaowan was still unwilling.
[Lin Xiaowan: All, we’re not on the same level. What’s there to discuss?]
In the end, Hong Minhua pretended to be angry, and Lin Xiaowan had no choice but to agree. After agreeing, she sighed heavily. If she had known this, she would have accepted Gu Yuwu’s invitation. At least, when she was with Gu Yuwu, she could still fool around.
Hong Minhua called Lin Xiaowan on the day of the visit. It was nothing urgent. She only wanted Lin Xiaowan to bring some desserts from the shop over. She had not eaten the desserts for a few days and had a huge craving now.
Lin Xiaowan said tactfully, “Although you look very young for your age, you should still consider your age. It’s best to eat fewer of these things…”
Although Lin Xiaowan also wanted to eat the desserts, she had to be more considerate of others.
Hong Minhua did not mind Lin Xiaowan’s words. “What kind of excuse is that? I’m in excellent health. 1 can eat anything I want!”
Hong Minhua also did not hesitate to use Xiao Han as an excuse as she said, “Your senior brother was away from Shengjing previously so he has yet to try the desserts from your shop. You have to bring them here for him to try.”
Although Hong Minhua looked strong and healthy, Lin Xiaowan had heard from Hong Minhua’s daughter, an elegant woman, previously that Hong Minhua’s blood sugar level was very high. She looked helpless when she spoke about how she failed to control her mother’s diet.
People with high blood sugar levels should not eat too much food with high sugar content. Let alone desserts, even the consumption of fruits such as watermelons and peaches had to be controlled.
Lin Xiaowan was unaware of this before so whenever Hong Minhua came over in the past, she would happily let Hong Minhua try all the desserts she made. However, now that she knew better, she naturally could not turn a blind eye to it.
She said gently, “Grandma Hong, why are you still so willful at your age? Why don’t we do this? During our next lesson, 1’11 bring you some salty pepper cakes.”
Hong Minhua retorted, “What’s so delicious about salty pepper cakes? By the way, what did your patissier make today? Previously, I saw there were blackcurrant cheesecakes and salted egg almond cream rolls. Can you bring them for me today?”
At this moment, Lin Xiaowan was already in the car. She had already told the driver in advance to bring her to Hong Minhua’s house. The dessert shop was not on the way at all.
“Of course not,” Lin Xiaowan said before asking, “Why don’t 1 personally bake you a sugar-free cake?”
Since the dessert shop hired patissiers, Lin Xiaowan had not made anything herself recently. She was not very sure if she would be any good so she added, “However, 1 can’t guarantee the taste.”
Hong Minhua sighed and said, “Since you’ve already said so much, what else can I say? 1 continue to insist, then won’t I really be willful?”
Lin Xiaowan said sweetly, “I was just talking nonsense earlier. Grandma Hong is not willful. Grandma Hong is the best!”
“Your mouth is really sweet! Alright, come quickly! There’s no one at home, and your senior brother hasn’t arrived yet. I’ll wait for you..”
