158 Is This For Me?
Chen Xiaomei smiled gently and said, “You’re not late, I’m the one who came early.”
Ming Liuyi quickly placed the gift on the table and pushed it toward Chen Xiaomei.
“Is this for me?” Chen Xiaomei was surprised.
Ming Liuyi nodded. Chen Xiaomei opened it and saw a velvet gift box and a small bag of cookies. She did not need to look at the velvet gift box to know that it was probably jewelry. Chen Xiaomei was already so old and had seen countless jewelry. There was almost nothing that could arouse her interest now. However, this small bag of cookies looked very likable.
The yellowish cookies came in various shapes and looked very cute. Anyone who knew could tell that they were handmade cookies. Moreover, the packaging was also carefully decorated with different stickers. Compared to the high-end cookies that anyone could buy, this bag of cookies gave a more sentimental feeling.
Chen Xiaomei was a little surprised and asked, “These cookie are…”
Ming Liuyi did not expect her to ask about them straightaway. She immediately responded, “Ah, I made these. They might not be as good as the ones sold outside, but it’s just a small token of my appreciation.”
“Can I eat them now?” Chen Xiaomei asked while holding the cookies.
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “Sure!”
At this moment, their afternoon tea was served. There were all sorts of desserts on the three-layered tea tray that was shaped like a birdcage. Compared to these exquisite desserts, the cookies suddenly seemed a little dull.
“…It’s fine to eat the cookies when you get back, “Ming Liuyi said, embarrassed. “Let’s finish the ones here first.”
Chen Xiaomei shook her head and took out a bear-shaped cookie. It was very pretty and felt delicate in her hand. She could see that Ming Liuyi had put a lot of effort into making these cookies. Each cookie had a different shape and pattern.
Chen Xiaomei put the cookie in her mouth. It had a crispy outer layer and the rich milky fragrance. The chocolate was also just right.
“It’s so delicious, and it’s very special,” said Chen Xiaomei with satisfaction.
Ming Liuyi was a little embarrassed after being praised like that. She said, “These are just ordinary cookies. You’re overpraising me.”
Chen Xiaomei looked at Ming Liuyi, her eyes filled with unconcealed affection. Chen Xiaomei said, “You’re a really likable girl.”
“Is there something you need from me today?” Ming Liuyi asked.
Chen Xiaomei stopped smiling and said with a serious face, “Regarding the matter of you marrying into the Yao family, I apologize to you on behalf of the Cai family.”
When Ming Liuyi heard this, it was as though she could feel the troubled thoughts from Original Ming Liuyi, and it became unbearable. Her eyes filled with uncontrollable tears.
Chen Xiaomei saw Ming Liuyi’s tears and stood up, gently hugging her. As if feeling a mother’s embrace, Ming Liuyi’s tears flowed even more freely.
Chen Xiaomei might never know that the person in front of her was no longer her Ming Liuyi. Chen Xiaomei’s biological daughter had long been sent to hell as she fell off the stairs with Yao Zizhou. Her soul had dissipated, and she must have completely disappeared!
Ming Liuyi felt the emotions in the depths of her heart and could not help but cry softly.
Chen Xiaomei patted Ming Liuyi’s back, saying, “Sweet child, you’re so blessed. I realized that Yao Zizhou is very good to you. For you, he’s even willing to acquire the Cai Group.
Ming Liuyi raised her head and wiped her tears. She said, “You asked me to come here to persuade Yao Zizhou to give up on the acquisition of the Cai Group, right?”
“I’m not on either side. The Cai family has indeed let you down. I just wanted to see you and understand you better,” said Chen Xiaomei.
Ming Liuyi nodded. It just so happened that she also wanted to understand the Cai family.
Ming Liuyi calmed herself down, and the two tacitly changed the topic. As for the acquisition, it was never brought up again during that time. They focused on gossiping and had their afternoon tea.
The desserts here were delicious, and this quickly cheered Ming Liuyi up. Chen Xiaomei was very kind, and her words were tactful. She was like a remorseful elder, sincerely caring for Ming Liuyi. Ming Liuyi was surrounded by such motherly love that she felt extremely at ease, like an indoor kitten snoozing in a patch of afternoon sunlight.
Although the Yao Zizhou was the male protagonist of this world, the warmth of a mother made Ming Liuyi feel more comfortable with Chen Xiaomei.

Cai Rixi had an appointment today with Mr. Wang from Z University. She wanted to get the list of students for Z University’s summer camp this year.
Z University was one of the top universities in the country. Every year, major companies would compete for its graduates. Basically, from the moment they enrolled in the university, they were already targeted by major companies. They would intern for those major companies in their first year, and then immediately gain employment with them after graduation!
Chen Xiaomei smiled gently and said, “You’re not late, I’m the one who came early.”
