When entering the living room, Song Yansheng was nowhere to be seen. Aunt Hui emerged from the dining room direction, saying someone had been sent to call him, and he would be down shortly.
Having learned her lesson from noon, Aunt Hui planned to keep a close eye on Ye Mingmei to prevent her from sneaking into the dining room for food.
Under such close watch, Ye Mingmei gave up on her mischievous ideas.
On the coffee table in the living room was a fruit platter filled with strawberries.
Aunt Hui said they were freshly delivered to the Song Mansion this afternoon and invited them to try some.
Ye Mingmei, peeling strawberries, said, "Brother Yu loves strawberries the most; he'd better come down quickly, or I'll eat them all and leave none for him!"
Aunt Hui laughed, "A plate was already sent upstairs earlier, so feel free to eat to your heart's content, Miss Ye. But strawberries are cold by nature, so it's better to eat them in moderation!"
