Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Invisible Gap
Early on Sunday morning, Ye Xiaojing came to the kitchen and began to make cakes to be used in the evening. In view of Cheng Qixin's request, Ye Xiaojing not only wanted to make the vanilla cake that Yue Lei wanted, but also made a matcha-flavored one.
With the help of Sister-in-law Li, Ye Xiaojing quickly made two cake crusts and mousse fillings, and after carefully fitting the fillings to the cake crusts, they could be put in the refrigerator for refrigeration.
After everyone hastily cleaned up the cooking table, Sister-in-law Li hurriedly began to prepare dishes for lunch, Ye Xiaojing and Xiaohui chatted with each other while giving Sister-in-law Li's hand.
Xiaohui handed the rinsed vegetables to Ye Xiaojing, and then took the time to taste the remaining mousse filling that she specially put in a small bowl, and then smacked her lips and said: "Ye Xiaojing, when you heal your leg in the future, it's not bad to open a cake shop, this vanilla mousse tastes really good!" ”
Ye Xiaojing cut the vegetables and didn't speak, and Sister-in-law Li next to her had already rushed to say: "Opening a store is a good way, but Ye Xiaojing, didn't you say that more than ninety percent of the money you earn every month is used to pay off debts?" If you want to open a store, the principal is probably a big problem, right? ”
Ye Xiaojing stopped, thought for a while and said, "Even if there is no problem with the principal, with my current level, it is simply a joke to open a store, right?" I have a friend who owns a cake shop, and my skills are so poor compared to him. ”
"So Ye Xiaojing, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Xiaohui asked.
Ye Xiaojing sighed and said, "I don't know, I think everything will be talked about later, who knows what will happen in the future?" ”
"Oh," Sister-in-law Li heard this, and said directly, "Aren't you working in the young master's company now?" When you're well, don't you want to come back! ”
Xiaohui also said after hearing this: "That's right, I see that the young master likes you so much, it's good if you come back!" ”
"In other words, the young master will never do this to others like you!" Sister-in-law Zhou, who has been doing things silently on the side, also interjected.
"Alright, stop chatting! Hurry up and finish what needs to be done-" Steward Liu walked in at some point and shouted to the people who were chatting.
Seeing Steward Liu, everyone had to shut up and start doing things seriously one by one.
In the evening, Yue Lei and Guan Wenxiang were invited to come, and after seeing Mrs. Cheng, everyone was inevitably polite again.
Everyone sat down in the living room, Mrs. Cheng looked at Yue Lei with a smile and said: "I heard someone say early in the morning, Mr. Yue, your newly opened plastic surgery hospital has excellent business, and the private hospital can have such a high performance just after it opens, Mr. Yue, you are really young and promising!" ”
Yue Lei replied politely: "Where does the old lady say, I am just lucky to be a junior; By the way, I would also like to thank the old lady for sending the flower basket on the opening day. ”
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said: "What is there to thank, this is as it should be!" As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Qixin, who was sitting beside her, and continued, "My family Qixin is really thanks to you to have today!" However, Mr. Yue, don't you feel a pity if you gave up everything you originally had in the United States and opened such a hospital here? ”
After hearing this, Yue Lei suddenly showed a serious expression, and said in a high-sounding manner: "The younger generation is indeed very stiff with my father because of this matter, but it has always been my dream to open a plastic surgery hospital and provide a little help to all the people who love beauty in the world, so even if my family opposes it, I still do it!" ”
"Oh, I see!" Mrs. Cheng said in amazement.
Yue Lei said: "The younger generation is so willful, let the old lady laugh!" ”
Old Madam Cheng smiled kindly and said, "Where is it, your ideas are so noble, I really appreciate it very much." Although Ling Zun is against your career now, don't be discouraged Mr. Yue, I think he will understand you sooner or later. ”
Yue Lei smiled with gratitude when he heard this, and said with a sincere expression: "Thank you, old lady, if only my father had such an enlightened word as you!" ”
If it weren't for the previous contact with Yue Lei, Ye Xiaojing would not have associated the current humble and polite, gentlemanly man with the chic and casual guy who was smiling.
Listening to Yue Lei, Guan Wenxiang's conversation with the ancestors of the Cheng family, from this moment on, Ye Xiaojing deeply felt the gap between commoners like herself and these people from wealthy and noble families.
Yes, it's not just about money, it's about the invisible, in the countless details of life, and when all the bits and pieces of the gap come together, they eventually form an insurmountable gap.
After realizing this, Ye Xiaojing, who originally felt a little uncomfortable, felt even more uncomfortable sitting there.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng asked how the dinner was prepared, Ye Xiaojing hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll take a look, it should be almost ready!" ”
With that, she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen inside.
Ye Xiaojing's abrupt actions made Cheng Qixin, Yue Lei and Guan Wenxiang stunned at the same time, and the three of them involuntarily looked together in the direction she left, and the atmosphere in the huge living room became dull for a while.
Everyone was silent for a while, Yue Lei was the first to react, he turned around, sat up straight, looked at Cheng Qixin and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are now so fateful, and a large part of the reason is because of Ye Xiaojing." ”
Cheng Qixin nodded slightly: "Yes!" ”
Mrs. Cheng also said: "Miss Ye has always been very conscientious and conscientious in our family, and she gave up an opportunity for surgery because of Qixin's matter, which is what our family is ashamed of her." ”
Yue Lei was about to speak, but Old Madam Cheng continued: "Fortunately, now you have won a second chance for her!" Mr. Yue, you should also know a little bit about the situation in Miss Ye's family, I want to tell you here now that all the expenses incurred by Miss Ye after the operation will be borne by my Cheng family, so please treat her well! ”
Yue Lei smiled when he heard this: "Old lady, you are too worried, no matter how much the operation will cost, the juniors will not charge her a penny, so please don't worry about her!" ”
"Really? Then I won't have much to do! Mrs. Cheng sighed, and then said, "Although Miss Ye is a maid in our family, I have never really regarded her as a servant - Mr. Yue and Mr. Guan, you don't know, she is so well-behaved and sensible, and Qixin has no brothers and sisters, I have always regarded her as my granddaughter." ”
When the three people present heard this, Yue Lei just smiled slightly, but Cheng Qixin frowned subconsciously, only Guan Wenxiang said to her: "This is Miss Ye's own efforts, and it is also the old lady's kindness." ”
At this time, Ye Xiaojing finally came out of the kitchen and said, "Old lady, dinner is ready!" ”
