A Moment of Life and Death (1)
One of the cakes, colorful peony flowers spread all over the top of the cake, and each petal was carefully designed and stacked. Another piece of cake is cleverly decorated with a large peony, which is elegant and romantic, revealing a sweet taste. Each piece of cake is full of flowers, including fresh and elegant roses, delicate roses, etc. Every flower cake has its own life. The shape and color are full of girlish taste, and the beauty is suffocating.
"I saw an interview in a magazine about the owner of this shop, whose English name is Sammy, and his father owned a cake shop in France, specializing in flower cakes, and he inherited his father's business." Shan Xiang even knows the family background clearly, "Sammy's father met his mother when he was working in a French cake shop. At that time, flower gifts were very expensive, and my father wanted to give flowers to my mother.
My mother was embarrassed to accept expensive gifts, so my father made a beautiful and delicious flower cake with cream, which touched my mother and touched her heart. Later, they got married, and their father opened his own cake shop, specializing in flower cakes. Sammy went to college abroad, and at first, like most young boys, he was reluctant to live according to his parents' arrangement, so he didn't study cake making at school. But then he slowly discovered that his father's persistence and focus were very admirable, so he also entered the industry. Coupled with his talent and hard practice, the flower cake he led his team made became more popular, and he also won a gold medal in the French cream decorating competition. Last year, at the invitation of a friend, he came here to open a cake shop, which was also the first flower cake shop he opened in China.
The two walked inside as they talked, and a salon was being held in a corner of the store, where several young girls gathered around a long table. The first beautiful girl Mu Qingcheng saw who distributed tools to everyone was Cheng Yijie's secretary Xia Mo. Seeing Xia Mo, she already felt embarrassed and uneasy, and after seeing the pastry chef in overalls who came again, she could describe her inner feelings as shocked and ridiculous.
"He's Sammy!" Shan Xiang next to him said, "Many little girls like him very much and worship him as an idol." ”
Sammy! The Sammy who was praised by Shan Xiang was actually He Muxuan! Her heart spasmed, and jealousy and resentment made her nervous. After a serious illness, although her heart is like ashes, she can't forget the hatred, the insult she suffered on the night of her illness is even more vivid, the old hatred and the new stimulation, at this moment her veins are full of vengeful blood, and even longs for the opportunity to take revenge on them, eager to humiliate them as they humiliated her. However, under this idea of revenge, another contradictory emotion grabbed her again, she still loved Cheng Yijie and couldn't bear to hurt him, and she didn't have the ability, to retaliate against him was to shake the tree, which was ridiculous. It's just that, out of sight and out of mind, and gone.
She was about to leave, but Xia Mo found her and greeted her very warmly, calling her "Mrs. City Lord".
Xia Mo has always called Cheng Yijie "City Lord", but after Mu Qingcheng and Cheng Yijie confirmed their relationship, they changed their words to call her "City Lord's Wife". Although she didn't like the title very much before, she was reluctant to accept it. Now I find such a title extremely ironic and harsh. Especially when she felt He Muxuan's gaze, she came into contact with those two gazes, which were full of mockery, naked and provocative gaze! Her blood boiled again, and jealousy and hatred burned in her chest. She can't admit defeat, at least she can't run away and let He Muxuan see the joke.
So, she stood upright, but she was nervous, and she couldn't be kind to Xia Mo, and she couldn't even squeeze out a polite smile.
Xia Mo also saw that Mu Qingcheng's mood was wrong, she didn't know the relationship between Cheng Yijie and He Muxuan, but she also knew a little about the divorce lawsuit, thinking that she had unintentionally called "Mrs. City Lord" to annoy Mu Qingcheng, and she also showed embarrassment for a while, and she was speechless.
"Can I join the salon?" Shan Xiang's questioning broke the dilemma between the two.
"Of course, I'll take you there." Xia Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took Shan Xiang to the long table.
Shan Xiang glanced back at Mu Qingcheng and blinked innocently.
Mu Qingcheng stood there, becoming nervous, restless, and irritable, as if abandoned by the whole world. She was unwilling to become a joke like this, she was full of depression under strong pressure, and approached the crowd with stiff steps, she wanted to see what kind of character that He Muxuan was, who could firmly absorb Cheng Yijie like a magnet!
The little girls at the scene were all waiting for He Muxuan to give them a lesson with anticipation, including Shan Xiang. He Muxuan seemed to be very useful, and he enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon. But at best, it only made Mu Qingcheng feel disdain and contempt, what really shocked her was that Xia Mo's gaze almost never left He Muxuan, the word "love" was clearly written in her eyes, and the full affection was almost overflowing from her bright eyes. In addition to the shock, Mu Qingcheng felt a sense of pity for the same disease, but he didn't expect that the sweet-looking and likable girl would be as wrong as her.
Once you fall deep, what awaits Xia Mo will be endless pain. She suddenly had the urge to desperately expose He Muxuan and save Xia Mo, but what strong evidence could she come up with to convince Xia Mo? Cheng Yijie's shadow flashed through her mind like lightning, and the most powerful evidence was to tell him about his relationship with Cheng Yijie. But will Xia Mo believe it? Regardless of whether she can get the effect for the time being, she still can't make up her mind to destroy Cheng Yijie's reputation. She was angry at her "fragile feelings", and in order to strengthen herself, she began to force herself to think on the bad side, Cheng Yijie's ruthlessness, Cheng Yijie's ruthlessness, and Cheng Yijie's hurt to her...... This kind of thinking almost paralyzed her brain.
The sudden ringtone made her jump suddenly, and she randomly took out her mobile phone from her bag, which was a call from Yang Xirou.
"Orange ......" Yang Xirou's voice was low and hoarse, very tired, "I have insomnia every day during this time, I have always thought that I am a free and easy person, and I will not be trapped by love, but this time, I am really trapped, can you help me?" ”
"How can I help you?" Mu Qingcheng was a little confused, did she want to help her snatch Cheng Lang from Xu Youran? One is her best friend and the other is her loved one, doesn't that make her a dilemma?
"I want to see Cheng Lang, but I don't want to take the initiative to ask him, I'm afraid of being rejected by him." Yang Xirou snorted, so weak, "You can help me create an opportunity to meet, I can follow you to visit Xu Youran again, just like last time, but you have to inquire first, Cheng Lang is also there." I just wanted to see how he treated me, and if he was cold to me, maybe I would die. ”
Mu Qingcheng sighed in his heart, his cousin, who was weak on the outside, but was actually independent and strong, with clear love and hate, when did he become so humble and fragile. She couldn't help but agree, walked to the side, dialed Xu Youran's mobile phone number, and told Xu Youran that she wanted to make an appointment to visit her at home. Xu Youran said that Cheng Lang accompanied her to buy something outside, and was about to go back, and she would be home in about an hour.
Mu Qingcheng reported the situation to Yang Xirou again, and after Yang Xirou asked her where she was, she asked her to wait and immediately drove over to pick her up. After hanging up the phone, Mu Qingcheng sighed deeply, doing this, it seemed that she was sorry for leisurely, but her cousin, she always had to have an explanation. Alas, the word love is the most hurtful.
Mu Qingcheng planned to order the cake first, and leave after paying, she walked to Shan Xiang's side, and heard He Muxuan introduce to everyone: "Our aim is to make every flower look good at the same time, but also delicious and healthy." After continuous trial and practice, we have developed a cream cream flower made of animal butter, which is a 'beautiful and not greasy' whipping cream decorated cake that everyone can eat now. It is not an easy task to make a decorated cake with whipped cream, which is easy to melt and difficult to shape, and it all depends on precise craftsmanship and years of repeated practice.
Then he began to demonstrate the decorating of flowers, making a peony, Mu Qingcheng waited patiently for him to finish the demonstration. She stared at He Muxuan expressionlessly, his beautiful appearance was in line with the trend of the younger generation towards male aesthetics and femininity, no wonder so many little girls liked to revolve around him. She criticized fiercely in her heart: "The traditional aesthetic regulations of male behavior should be masculine and magnificent beauty, but now such beauty no longer arouses appreciation and stimulation, but the feminine and gorgeous beauty like women has become a pursuit of young men nowadays, which is simply sick and aesthetically misplaced!" ”
Finally waited for He Muxuan to finish his decoration, Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but pull Shan Xiang to the counter, and asked her to quickly choose a cake, so she could pay and leave. Shan Xiang picked the album for a long time, and finally selected He Muxuan's award-winning work "The Aroma of the Wind" in the French Cream Piping Competition, and the colorful peony flowers bloomed on the cake, like a beautiful work of art. It's just that the price of 488 yuan made Mu Qingcheng feel distressed for a while, and she was reluctant to buy such expensive clothes when she usually bought them. I had no choice but to agree to the first, so I had to swipe the card.
Later, she and Yang Xirou went to Xu Youran's place together, Yang Xirou drove into the villa area, there was an off-road vehicle in front of her, parked in the parking space on the side of the road, and Yang Xirou followed behind to park the car. The passenger door of the off-road vehicle opened first, and someone got out of the car, crutches, and limped around the road next to the car. Mu Qingcheng looked through the windshield, it turned out to be Xu Youran, she didn't wait for Cheng Lang, she walked straight forward.
Suddenly, the roar of a motor came, and Xu Youran turned around and was surprised to see a car rushing towards her. Her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she couldn't dodge at all, saying that it was too late, Cheng Lang flew to Xu Youran, and at the moment when the car crashed, he rolled her into the grass next to her.
