The weather was hot. The ingredients would easily spoil if not handled or stored properly.
It was a good thing the host didn’t have to worry about these stuff. The cook knew what to do.
In the first half of the year, Ye Tianxin’s grandmother had an operation. Her grandmother had a near-death experience.
In the second half of the year, Grandmother and her long-lost sister were reunited, and Ye Tianxin met her biological father.
More importantly, Ye Tianxin performed well in school, and she topped the college entrance examinations.
Everything was going great for Grandmother.
She was overwhelmed with joy. Her wrinkled face had a blissful expression.
The family of three was so happy that it piqued the neighbors’ curiosity. They couldn’t help but ask Grandmother if their family had recently received some good news.
On the day of the housewarming party, relatives and friends arrived one after another. Xie Xuning welcomed the guests and assisted them, leading them to the backyard.
It was the weekend, so there were many children. Everyone was there to join the excitement.
The main course would be served at dinner, as was the custom of Jiameng Town. Acquaintances would usually come to help at noon. However, at noon, five tables were already full.
The cook expertly prepared the main course. Ye Tianxin wore a beautiful white dress, let her hair loose, and smiled sweetly like a celebrity. Everyone’s eyes were on her.
Initially, schools, towns, and cities rewarded Ye Tianxin for having been admitted to Capital University.
Ye Tianxin donated the money a long time ago. She received a full scholarship at Capital University and didn’t need to spend that much money. It was better to donate the money to those who needed it more.
Days were longer in Jiameng Town during summer. It didn’t get dark until it was quite late.
Around 7:30 in the evening, the sky finally darkened.
Many beautiful lights were set up in the small courtyard. Once lit, the venue came to life.
Grandmother, Ye Tianxin, and Xie Xuning wore new clothes. Grandmother was dressed in Tang fashion. She looked like a rich madam who lived an indulgent lifestyle. Even more so, Xie Xuning was wearing a Chinese tunic that made him appear magnificent, like a dignified general.
During the banquet, the attendants led the guests to their seats. Xie Xuning took the initiative to take the microphone and express gratitude to everyone for taking care of Grandmother and Ye Tianxin.
Meanwhile, a commotion erupted at the entrance. The guests began to whisper among themselves.
Wu Cailan, who used to be quite glamorous, rushed in like a lunatic with a kitchen knife. Everyone was shocked to see her acting outrageously.
“Ye Tianxin, do you want me to die before you give up?”
Wu Cailan pointed the kitchen knife to her neck. After more than 10 years, Ye Linlang’s shadow still haunted her.
Ye Tianxin furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Wu Cailan. “Ms. Wu, I think you need to see a psychiatrist.”
Wu Cailan experienced depression after childbirth. However, why was she acting strange now?
Wu Cailan held the kitchen knife and said loudly, “I don’t care. This time, either you die or I die!”
Xie Xuning walked to Ye Tianxin’s side. He then carefully motioned for Ye Tianxin to move behind him. “Ms. Wu, why are you threatening my daughter?”
“This was all because of you!” Wu Cailan pointed a finger at Xie Xuning. “Why did you show up? Why did you show up? You ruined my family!” Wu Cailan yelled.
Wu Cailan broke down in tears as she revealed that Mayor Zhai left her that night.
Mayor Zhai learned that Wu Cailan made a deal with that person that’s why he got promoted. He was enraged at his wife and left.
