Chapter 968: Showing Off Intentionally

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Jing turned to leave with Gu Zi but remembered her earlier instructions. Quietly, yet deliberately, she muttered, “Sister-in-law, if she doesn’t want to accept it, so be it. After all, she’s the one who started this mess. I haven’t even mentioned how she falsely accused me! You weren’t even home when she came by. I explained everything, and she flat-out called me a liar. Forget it—let’s take the cake back and eat it ourselves. A woman as unreasonable as her doesn’t deserve something this good anyway.”

Huang Fei had initially planned to deliver a few more sharp remarks to assert her dominance over Gu Zi, but she hadn’t expected them to simply leave—taking the exquisitely crafted cake with them.

Panic flashed across her face for a brief moment, quickly replaced by irritation. That little wench Su Jing was fanning the flames now, spurring Gu Zi to leave. Her fingers curled into fists at the thought of missing out on that coveted dessert.

From the moment she had moved into this neighborhood, Huang Fei had tried, and failed, to get the upper hand over Gu Zi. Not once had she managed to gain the upper hand in their petty skirmishes. But to let this cake, crafted by Gu Zi’s own hands, slip through her grasp? That was unacceptable.

For all her disdain for Gu Zi, Huang Fei couldn’t deny Gu Zi’s unparalleled talent in baking—those cakes of hers were the stuff of legend, utterly impossible to replicate or purchase elsewhere.

Huang Fei shot a pointed glance at her housekeeper. Catching on immediately, the housekeeper hurried to intercept the guests. “Oh, please stay!” she called out, forcing a conciliatory smile.

Gu Zi and Su Jing paused, letting themselves be persuaded without much resistance.

Huang Fei, now with a slightly more affable expression, stepped forward and said, “Gu Zi, you’re right—this really isn’t a big deal. No need to blow it out of proportion. I’ll accept the cake, and let’s just pretend none of this ever happened. We’re neighbors, after all. All I ask is that you teach your sister-in-law to be a little less confrontational in the future.”

The housekeeper, taking her cue, eagerly reached out to collect the cake from Gu Zi, who relinquished it without protest.

Smiling politely, Gu Zi said, “Well, I must say, I didn’t expect us to make peace so quickly. Perhaps this is a turning point for us. If you ever host a housewarming party, I trust you’ll invite the Su family as a gesture of goodwill?”
