Chapter 888


    Yue Yu lowered her head to help wash the vegetables. Although she was clumsy, Madam Yue was


    satisfied.


    "Shi Jin likes this dish the most. She might not like what others make. I have to make it myself."


    Shi Jin, who was driving, suddenly sneezed. A chill ran down her back.


    She grabbed a tissue and turned up the temperature in the car, too.


    Yue Yu felt indignant. "Mom, what about mine?"


    "Of course you have yours. Look, isn''t that your favorite lotus root dish?"


    Only then did Yue Yu cheer up.


    She thought of a question and asked, "1 heard that Shi Jin is married. I wonder how outstanding a


    man worthy of a talent like her is. Which family is he from?"


    Madam Yue thought for a moment and said, "If she brings him here today, you will be able to meet


    him. If she doesn''t, then she isn''t ready to show him to you. If she isn''t, I can''t tell you directly."


    "Mom, what are you talking about? I''m your daughter. What can''t you tell me?"


    "You know Shi Jin''s profession. This matter is very important to her. If she tells others rashly, it will


    affect her greatly. So you understand what I mean, right?"


    Madam Yue had always been very protective of Shi Jin.


    Even in the face of her own daughter, she was very conscious.


    Actually, Shi Jin had not specifically instructed everyone to keep their mouths shut about her


    matters, but everyone who really knew her, who considered her a friend, spontaneously treated


    these things as important little secrets.


    Everyone who was her friend was extra respectful and willing to protect her.


    Yue Yu''s expression was clearly displeased. Madam Yue smiled and pinched her daughter''s face.


    "What else do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you. Look at you, you''ve starved and lost


    weight overseas. Let''s not talk about the others. Tell me about the interesting things that happened


    to my daughter overseas."


    Yue Yu could not get angry. She smiled and took her mother''s arm as they chatted.


    Lan Tian and Yue Lanchen weed Shi Jin.


    They rushed over as soon as she got out of the car. They hadn''t seen each other in a while, so both


    of them were obviously excited and eager to see Shi Jin.


    Only Luo Jingxuan stood to the side, looking normal.


    "Why isn''t Brother-inw here?" Yue Lanchen asked. In the past, he used to call him Brother


    Xiuyuan. Now, he was even more familiar with him and directly called him Brother-inw.


    "He''s busy."


    Yue Lanchen pouted. "He''s always busy when I invite him over."


    "Shall I call him now?" Shi Jin pretended to touch her phone.


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t. I was just saying. I know he''s always been like this. Aristocrats only appear at


    important asions, unless you''re the main character of that asion." Yue Lanchen was quite


    happy to see Shi Jin. Without Fu Xiuyuan, he didn''t have to be reserved and restrained.


    "Sis." Taking advantage of her gender, Lan Tian leaned into Shi Jin''s arms and rubbed against her.


    "Let''s go in first." Shi Jin patted her head.


    The four of them went upstairs together and met the guests.


    Madam Yue came out with the dessert she had personally made and greeted Shi Jin. "Shi Jin, sit


    down and have some dessert. I made it myself."


    Shi Jin immediately understood why she had sneezed in the car.


    "Okay, we''ll carry it and eat upstairs." Lan Tian took the tray first. "Go, go, go."


    "That child," Madam Yue teased.


    When the group reached Yue Lauchen''s room upstairs, Yue Yu followed them in. She was slightly


    surprised to see Yue Lanchen helping Shi Jin eat dessert.


    Everyone knew about Madam Yue''s skills. Other than Yue Feng, who could ept it, the others


    were forced to ept it.


    Yue Lanchen had resisted it before. However, at that moment, he was eating two bowls.


    Lan Tian and Luo Jingxuan were fighting hard.


    "If you really don''t want to eat it, I''ll pour it out for you,"


    Yue Yu said.


    "I''ve almost finished," Lan Tian said. "Fortunately, Auntie was kind enough to use a small porcin


    bowl."


    She pushed the bowl aside and said, "Sister Yu, let''s y chess together."


    "Sure." Yue Yu tilted her head and asked Shi Jin, "Shi Jin, why didn''t you bring your other half?"


    "Brother-inw is busy," Yue Lanchen said. "Besides, it''s good that he''s not here. We''ll be more


    comfortable ying together."

    "Busy man. What does he do?"


    Before Shi Jin could speak, Yue Lanchen continued, "Well, if you''ve known Sister Shi for a long


    time, you''ll naturally know. We''ll keep it a secret for now. I bet it can give even you a surprise when


    the timees."


    This tone and attitude of protecting Shi Jin was exactly the same as that of Madam Yue.


    Yue Yu did not expect Shi Jin''s status to be so high.


    Vaguely, everyone used her as the focus of their vision. Although she was not from the Yue family,


    she had a very high status in the family.


    As she was thinking, she looked up and saw Shi Jin reaching for Yue Lauchen''s figurine.


    She quickly stopped her. "Shi Jin, don''t touch it!"


    Shi Jin''s hand froze in midair as she turned to look at her in surprise. "What''s wrong?"


    "That''s Lauchen''s favorite figurine. He never lets anyone touch it. I''ve never touched it since I was


    young. I''m afraid he''ll explodeter," Yue Yu exined.


    "Oh, sorry." Shi Jin retracted her hand and nced at Yue Lanchen.


    So he had this obsessivepulsive disorder. However, when she came before, didn''t she always


    y with this figurine?


    Not wanting to hurt Yue Yu''s pride, Shi Jin said nothing else.


    Yue Lanchen said indifferently, "Tsk, it''s nothing. Sister Shi can y with it if she wants to."


    "I''ll y chess with Lan Tian." Shi Jin stopped touching the figurines.


    Yue Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at Yue Lanchen. y with it if she wants to?


    Although Yue Lanchen spoke as if nothing had happened, Yue Yu could still sense the subtle


    differences.


    Was he really that generous? Or was it only to Shi Jin?


    What had happened tonight had made Yue Yu suspicious of herself. Had she been away too long to


    recognize everyone? Or had Shi Jin used some magic to make everyone side with her?


    "Sister Yu, I lost. Youe and y with Sis," Lan Tian called out to Yue Yu.


    Yue Yu recovered and sat in front of Shi Jin.


    Nothing extraordinary had actually happened all night.


    Everyone was happy and harmonious. They ate and yed happily. Only Yue Yu really felt some


    extremely minute differences.


    Although this difference did not affect her favor as the daughter of the Yue family, it was still like a


    tiny thorn that gentlyy in the bottom of her heart.


    Everyone kept their mouths shut about Shi Jin''s husband, as if she was the only outsider.
