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 embarra.s.sed 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.

Yao Ying had a distinguished family background. Even though she was married to the sickly second son, her family’s inheritance remained in her hands.

The two of them were about the same age, but Yao Ying was rich, had a son, maintained the old man’s affections, and lived in a luxury mansion bought for her by her third child.

She was simply a winner who had everything she’d ever wanted in life.

And what about Liang Xiuqin? She had nothing at all.

She came from no distinguished family, had no son, and lived in a house in a villa complex with her husband’s father.

Besides the fact that her son had been killed by Yun Xi, that scourge, even the wealthy socialites no longer visited her spa anymore.

With her thoughts on that wretched girl, Yun Xi, ruining her glory and chances at wealth, Liang Xiuqin couldn’t contain her resentment.

Yao Ying glanced at Yun Ziling’s exasperated expression and sneered, “This is the breakfast that I sent someone to line up at Shengjing Garden early in the morning to buy for Yun Xi. If you want to eat some of their pastries, go buy them for yourself.”

Everyone in Jingdu knew how hard it was to buy breakfast from Shengjing Garden, a century-old brand.

Besides the high prices, being able to buy anything was already tremendous lucky.
