Yue Qingqing’s scalp tingled for a moment, as if she could see the half-dead crab looking at her with a face full of disdain.
What, are we close? Why are you touching me?
Fu Ting was also startled, but then she covered it up with an awkward smile, "This, this dish is Drunken Crab—right?"
So, was the crab playing Drunken Fist?
She herself didn’t sound too confident when saying it.
Jiang Jingze took a deep breath, finally no longer able to stand by and watch.
He rose to his feet, took everything off the table to the kitchen, and destroyed them one by one, then used the remaining ingredients to stir-fry two dishes.
The delicious aroma belatedly filled the air.
Finally, the kitchen was put to its intended use.
The meals from Four Seas Restaurant eventually arrived, and together with the dishes Jiang Jingze made, they finally made up a table full of delicious food, rich in color, aroma, and taste.
After this incident, Yue Qingqing had a direct understanding of Jiang Jingze’s mother.
She was a lovely and fun person.
Well protected by Uncle Jiang, her personality could almost be described as naive and carefree.
She only showed a bit of a mother’s tenderness and maturity when facing her son.
Yue Qingqing liked her a lot.
Fu Ting also had nothing but love for Yue Qingqing.
Even though the cooking mishap at the beginning seemed to cause a bit of a joke, it also quickly closed the distance between them.
After the meal, Fu Ting took out a bunch of brocaded boxes from the safe.
Inside were all sorts of heirloom-level jewelry.
These were all prepared by Fu Ting since the first time she met Yue Qingqing, and over the years, they had accumulated into an envy-inducing wealth.
Yue Qingqing didn’t expect such a grand display and flushed red, repeatedly declining them.
Fu Ting was immersed in the "Miracle Qingqing" game, thinking her daughter-in-law was so beautiful she wanted her to wear everything at once.
The first meeting with Jiang Jingze’s parents was undoubtedly filled with joy.
(If one disregards the bizarre scene at the beginning)
When she got home and faced her family’s barrage of questions, Yue Qingqing bashfully lowered her head.
"Uncle and Auntie are both very nice."
With that, her family finally felt at ease.
After all, the Jiang Family had a big family business, and they were also worried that Qingqing might face difficulties or be met with arrogance even if not outright mistreated.
Their precious treasure had been raised for many years, not to go to someone else’s house to be slighted.
Yue Jiannan looked at the things Yue Qingqing had brought home, swallowing hard.
"Going out once and it’s like striking it rich, even a bank robbery couldn’t match these earnings."
Having been influenced over time, the family now had an eye for value and could tell at a glance that these jade and precious stones were expensive.
Not to mention they had Lin Chunju at home, an expert who could almost immediately judge their worth.
Lin Chunju could see that the Jiang Family really liked Qingqing and were sincere with her, which made her happy.
From an early age, her fondness for Qingqing was not just because the girl was a lucky charm, but more so because she cherished her as much as she would her own granddaughter.
Qingqing was an exceptionally good child.
A child as good as her certainly deserved a good fate.
After school resumed, Yue Qingqing’s smiling face couldn’t be hidden from her dorm mates.
Qu Ruorui’s eyes immediately lit up, determined as a CP fan to dig into the details.
Oh, the feeling of witnessing love firsthand was just too wonderful.
Yue Qingqing, her ears turning red from embarrassment, picked up a book and pretended to study to cover it up.
After all, it was the final term of high school.
No matter how excited she felt, the most important thing still had to be her studies.
This was something everyone understood.
This was their final sprint phase, and even after school started, the teachers didn’t waste words, only writing a number on the blackboard.
Countdown to the college entrance examination.
