Bruised Her Ego

Yun Ziling glanced at the box her second aunt was carrying. When she saw the Shengjing Garden logo on it, her eyes immediately gleamed with greed.

"Breakfast pastries from Shengjing Garden. Second aunt, did you buy those for me?"

Yun Ziling was taking advantage of this time while Yun Xi was checking her second uncle's pulse. She walked right up to her second aunt and reached out to grab the box from her hands.

"What are you doing? This is not for you."

As Yao Ying saw Yun Ziling reach out to take the box from her hand, she turned around and promptly put the box in her other hand.

Yun Ziling's hand froze in midair, and, when she realized that the box of pastries was not for her, she immediately grew embarrassed and angry.

Liang Xiuqin had just come out of the kitchen. She'd seen Yun Ziling try to grab the box from Yao Ying's hand and Yao Ying refuse to give it to her.

This bruised Liang Xiuqin's ego.
