Upon seeing the scene, Ruan’s mother instantly understood the situation.
It must be Yufei playing petty and trying to embarrass Yan Yue on purpose.
Her face hardened and she coldly said to Yufei, “What are you just standing there for? Get someone to clean it up right away!”
Yufei was speechless. Did she really need to resort to such petty tricks to set her up?
She didn’t show any signs of grievance, and instead smiled apologetically, “Mom, it’s my fault. I’ll get someone to clean up immediately.”
She turned to Yan Yue and sincerely said, “Miss Yan, you’re our guest and I’ve carelessly damaged your gift. I’m really sorry. Please take a seat and rest, I’ll brew some tea and personally apologize.”
Yufei didn’t act as wronged, uncomfortable, or argue as much as Yan Yue had imagined.
Instead, she calmly accepted the blame with a smile and sincerely apologized to her.
She chose to preserve everyone’s dignity, instead of confronting everyone outright and making everyone dislike her.
This kind of grace and shrewdness were not things an inexperienced woman could display.
In her heart, Yan Yue was puzzled. Yufei’s personality seemed completely different from the reputation she had heard…
Indeed, Ruan’s mother’s expression softened when she saw Yufei’s acceptable attitude.
“Yueyue, come and continue chatting with your aunt. Tell me what has been happening in the last few years.”
“Sure, as long as Aunt doesn’t mind me rambling on.”
Ruan’s mother chuckled, “Dear, I just love the way you talk…”
Yufei turned around to order the servants to clean, then went to the kitchen to brew tea and brought it to them herself.
She walked to the coffee table, squatted down, and first respectfully placed a cup of tea in front of Ruan’s mother.
Just as she was about to hand the other cup to Yan Yue, a tall shadow moved in from the outside.
Tianling entered the living room, and seeing Yan Yue there, he faltered momentarily.
“Ling, you’re home!” Yan Yue immediately went to greet him with a smile, acting as if a wife was welcoming her husband home.
“How did you get here?” Tianling asked gently, looking at her.
Yan Yue casually held his arm and giggled, “I came to visit Uncle, Aunt, and Grandfather, but only Aunt is home. I’m so sorry, I didn’t inform you before I came.”
Tianling didn’t retract his arm and continued the conversation without any awkwardness.
He smiled and said, “You are here to visit the elders, there is no need to notify me beforehand.”
The two spoke as if no one else existed, as if Yan Yue was his wife and Yufei was just a soulless decorative item.
This display was obvious to anyone.
Unfortunately, Ruan’s mother feigned blindness and sipped her tea quietly.
Yufei lightly sneered in her heart, mirrored her act, put down the teacup, took the tray and went back to the kitchen.
It was only at this point that Tianling noticed her.
He glanced at her, his gaze unreadable.
“Miss, Madam said she wants to invite Miss Yan for dinner. Do you think the recipes I’ve prepared are suitable?” Wang, the housekeeper, asked, handing her a paper when she entered the kitchen.
Yufei looked at the paper and smiled, “Everything else is fine, but the young master likes shrimp balls. How about making a pot of pearl soup using shrimp? The soup will have to be rich in flavor. We can serve it to everyone as an appetizer soup. Speaking of which, do we have fresh shrimp? If not, start shopping now.”
