Cao Huilian really doesn't understand tea.

She is just an ordinary woman, how could she understand such a high-end and elegant thing as tea tasting.

She only knows about the pots and pans in the kitchen, and she tries to be frugal in her life and live a good life in her own little piece of land.

But after spending a long time with Mr. Shao, I found out that he likes drinking tea and can simply taste the quality of the tea.

But in her opinion, this thing is just for drinking, so what's the use of good or bad, or lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth?

It’s better to have a bowl of egg water or a bowl of brown sugar water.

Cao Huilian held the tea bowl, looked at the clear and transparent tea soup, and said nothing.

Some time ago, Mr. Shao's subordinates sent him a few packets of state banquet tea as a gift to honor him.

The old man said that this tea has a sweet and mellow taste without any bitterness, and the aroma is strong and long-lasting. It tastes excellent when drunk and is suitable for Grandpa Mu, so he gave two packs to Grandpa Mu.

However, the quality of this tea is far inferior to Grandpa Shao's tea. It seems that Ji Yunxi knew that Ji Yuan liked to drink tea and it was not convenient to touch Grandpa Mu's things, so she bought some from outside.

Tea of ​​state banquet grade cannot be bought outside. Most of them are fakes or obsolete products that do not meet the standards, but they are also good stuff.

Seeing that Cao Huilian didn't say anything, Ji Yuan guessed that she couldn't tell good from bad, and his eyes revealed undisguised contempt.

Ji Yuan used to be a university president. He was educated and had status. Naturally, he felt superior to Cao Huilian, a housewife.

Cao Huilian saw the contempt in Ji Yuan's eyes, but still said nothing.

What could she say?

Should I tell Ji Yuan that this cup of state banquet tea is not authentic?

Wouldn’t that cause trouble for Ji Yunxi?

Cao Huilian put down the tea bowl, looked quietly at Ji Yuan who was sipping tea elegantly opposite her, and spoke slowly.

"I came here today for no big deal, I just felt that we were destined to be together. I'm En Ning and Chi An's adoptive mother, you're Yun Xi's adoptive mother, and the children we adopted happen to be siblings. We're about the same age, so we can be friends!"

The corners of Ji Yuan's lips twitched slightly, full of disdain.

She never took Cao Huilian seriously, so how could she be willing to be friends with her?

Cao Huilian was not annoyed, and continued to ask with a smile, "I know that I am not worthy of being friends with Teacher Ji! You are a teacher, a person of status! But I want to ask, does Teacher Ji have any friends?"

Cao Huilian's question stumped Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan had a friend when she was in school, and she was very good friends with Bai Yunqiu and Hu Yu.

But ever since she stole Yun Xi away, she no longer kept in touch with her old friends and rarely interacted with the outside world. She no longer had any friends.

Cao Huilian folded her hands on her knees, "Teacher Ji, women of our age need to take better care of themselves. Our children are grown up and have their own lives and families. Our mission is accomplished! Try to pick up the things you wanted to do but didn't have time to do when you were young, the things you wanted to learn but didn't have time to learn, and the things you wanted to buy but didn't have the money to buy. Live a good life and have a healthy body. This is the greatest care for your children!"

When Ji Yuan saw Cao Huilian getting to the point, his expression changed visibly and he put the tea bowl down heavily, making a crisp sound.

"Are you here to be a lobbyist? Do I need you to educate me? I have been a teacher for so many years, and I have gradually become the president of a university. I have taught countless students, but I have always been the one educating others, and no one has dared to educate me!"

Cao Huilian smiled awkwardly to ease the atmosphere, "How dare I lecture Teacher Ji? I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

"There's nothing to talk about! I'm a bit mean and eccentric, but I won't play tricks. I'll just say what I want to say! You're just saying it because you have a biological son and you're confident! If you only have Chi An and En Ning, do you dare to say that you have no selfish feelings for them? Aren't you afraid that they will find their biological parents, gradually become estranged from you, and ignore you when they get old!"

"Cao Huilian, I know what you mean! Pretending to be magnanimous and reasonable is actually your trick! Can you guarantee that you didn't know the identities of Chi An and En Ning at the beginning, and you helped your husband raise his ex-wife's child without any selfish motives!"

Cao Huilian opened her mouth, looking a little embarrassed, then said frankly, "That's right! From the beginning, I did have selfish motives in raising them! Enning and Chi An knew this since they were young, and I didn't hide it from them! The house they lived in at the time was in Bai Yunqiu's name, and the two children were direct heirs. If they were sent to an orphanage, Chi Gang and I wouldn't even have a place to live."

"But what really made me give up sending the two children to an orphanage was En Ning crying and calling me mom, begging me not to abandon them! I have children of my own, so I softened my heart all of a sudden!"

"Children are closely related to whoever raised them. Blood relationship is not necessarily important! When I made that decision, it was my own choice. Even if they grow up and don't recognize me as their stepmother, I won't blame them!"

"I just followed my conscience and did what I should do! Is the purpose of raising children to have someone to take care of them and control them? Isn't it that parents really want them to live a good life, have their own careers, and have a happy family?"

Ji Yuan was speechless after hearing what Cao Huilian said.

She is a teacher, a person of status, but she was left speechless by a housewife.

She was very angry and stood up. Just as she was about to order them to leave, Cao Huilian also stood up.

"Teacher Ji, you are beautiful, elegant, and educated. You can find a job, or find a man you like, or go traveling. Don't confine yourself! Your daughter and son-in-law are very filial! Always judging them will only push them further away!"

No woman can resist being told that she is beautiful and has good temperament.

Ji Yuan was no exception. All his anger suddenly dissipated. He looked at Cao Huilian speechlessly, with the corners of his lips straightened into a straight line.

Seeing that Ji Yuan's attitude had softened a bit, Cao Huilian also softened her tone, "You have educated Yun Xi very well. She is gentle, decent and generous. If you lose such a good daughter, no one will remember your hard work for more than 20 years!"

"No matter whether what I said today is pleasant to hear or not, we will inevitably interact in the future, because the children are relatives! It would be great if we could all live in harmony! I am two years older than you. If Teacher Ji is willing, you can call me sister in the future, and we will be good friends!"

Despite Ji Yuan's objection, Cao Huilian used Ji Yuan's mobile phone to scan her own WeChat.

"Teacher Ji, if you have any unhappiness in the future, you can come and talk to me! I have nothing to do except eating every day! If you are interested, you can learn desserts with me and make exquisite small cakes one by one. It is very fulfilling and can also kill time. My three little grandchildren love the desserts I make."

"Mu Mu can eat complementary food now. Teacher Ji, don't you want to make some cookies and bread for your grandson to make him happy?"

Of course Ji Yuan wanted to make Mu Mu happy, but he was a little embarrassed.

Seeing Ji Yuan still acting so serious, Cao Huilian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Come on, stop being so serious! Go out for a walk, meet more friends, see new things, and open your mind. It's better than staying at home alone and worrying about things that won't happen, right?"

Cao Huilian struck while the iron was hot and, despite Ji Yuan's objections, she pulled Ji Yuan's arm and walked out.

"I just happened to have a dessert class, so come with me and take a look."
