Chapter 771: Chapter 771: The Undercurrents of the Ming Tide (4 more)

After finishing, Xu Niannian smiled and said to Ji Ruhua, "My Jin Yu was just talking nonsense just now, so please don’t take it to heart, Miss Ji. He’s just like that, loves his wife to bits. In his eyes, no one else can make food as delicious as I can. He’s just blind to others, not the best with words."

This banter made everyone laugh.

Only Ji Ruhua knew exactly what Xu Niannian was implying, both openly and between the lines.

She just couldn’t comprehend, Xu Niannian was clearly the other woman, so where did she get the audacity to constantly refer to Jin Yu as ’my Jin Yu’? How could there be such a shameless woman?

Was stealing someone else’s man something to be proud of?

Did she think that just because she had a chance to live her life over, she could overlook the fact that Jin Yu was originally her man?

If it weren’t for Xu Niannian seizing the opportunity and stealing Jin Yu away, he would have been her man.

Sister-in-law Du had just been wondering to herself why Xiao Jin was being so annoying, but after hearing Xu Niannian’s words, she finally understood.

It was all to please his wife.

She sardonically chided Xiao Jin, "Xiao Jin really, I know that you dote on your wife, I know that in your eyes, only the food your wife makes is good. But you can’t just say that, can you? Fortunately, Miss Ji is a generous soul, and won’t hold it against you. If it were someone else, wouldn’t you believe you’d be scolded?"

Having said that, Sister-in-law Du patted Ji Ruhua’s hand, "Miss Ji, don’t stoop to Jin Yu’s level. He’s just demonstrating his commitment to his wife, not meaning those words intentionally."

Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, right, he was demonstrating his commitment to his wife.

But he did it intentionally.

Jin Yu had never been the kind of prime, high-class, top-quality man. His politeness and composure were reserved only for those who deserved it.

As for a woman who knew he was married but still eagerly pursued him, forget about giving face, Jin Yu didn’t even want to give her the time of day.

Besides, he was speaking the truth.

Maybe after having tasted the sea’s vastness, after eating the food made by his wife, food made by anyone else seemed just so-so to him.

Only Ye Shaoting seemed delighted with this whole spectacle.

Who would have thought that a gentle woman couldn’t have a temper?

Xu Niannian might speak gently, but she sure knew how to hide needles in cotton.

He would bet that Xu Niannian had definitely seen through whatever Ji Ruhua’s intentions were towards her man.

Being able to enjoy a show, Ye Shaoting was very proactive. Enjoying the drama and being able to eat food cooked by Xu Niannian, Ye Shaoting was even more eager.

"Niannian, remember to make plenty, I’m afraid there won’t be enough when the crowd starts digging in."

Hearing this, everyone else chuckled.

Another sister-in-law teased, "Xiao Ye, you’re exaggerating. Don’t scare Niannian. Are we really lacking food to such an extent that we’d need to compete with you for it?"

Ye Shaoting shrugged and smiled without saying a word.

You’ll see when the time comes.

The group joked back and forth, making the meal seem quite harmonious.

But it was only a superficial harmony.

As a married woman, few things are as despised as a mistress.

Apart from Sister-in-law Du and the two other sisters-in-law in the kitchen earlier, the rest could tell that Ji Ruhua had her sights set on Jin Yu.

So, at the dinner table, although everyone followed Sister-in-law Du’s lead in praising Miss Ji, their smiles never quite reached their eyes—they were all very shrewd.

They wouldn’t easily offend anyone, but they had no intention of getting close either. Who would dare to befriend such a woman?

What if they brought trouble upon themselves, causing their own household to catch fire?

These people were shrewd, but Ji Ruhua was no less astute.

She could see very clearly who was merely paying lip service and who genuinely wanted to make friends.
