Although Gu'er felt a little flustered inside, she wouldn't mess up steaming the jujube cakes. Since she had promised them, she was determined to do a good job.
By the time the jujube cakes were out of the steamer and their rich aroma filled the air, Gu'er still hadn't seen anyone from the Lin Family arrive.
Although Gu'er hadn't said much to Chen Fengjiao, she secretly hoped the woman would come looking for her. 'If she did, it would mean she still cares.' But the other woman never came.
It would be a lie to say Gu'er wasn't disappointed. Even with the faint resentment in her heart, there was also a deep longing for a family connection.
'She dotes on Lin Sui'er so much, so what about me?' A pang of heartache struck Gu'er.
The Cui family was very satisfied with the jujube cakes and gave Gu'er one dollar for her work. Gu'er quietly accepted the money, offered her congratulations, and then left the kitchen, wheeling her bicycle out of the courtyard.
