"Where did you just run off to?"
"I just had uncomfortable shoes, so I went to change them."
Qiao Yi found an excuse to brush off Old Mr. Lu. She knew that Old Mr. Lu must be aware of the issues between her and Qiao Xin, but he never actively asked about them, and she herself didn't want to bring these matters up.
Besides, no matter how loudly Qiao Xin and she argued, it was still a Qiao Family affair. Discussing such matters in the Lu Family would be quite inappropriate.
Seeing that Qiao Yi was reluctant to elaborate, Old Mr. Lu didn't press further. He smiled, nodded, and then had Lu Xiaohua and Qiao Yi link arms with him to cut the cake.
The cake was a towering nine layers, nearly as tall as Qiao Yi.
It was a cake that Qiao Yi had made herself, spending a whole two hours just piping the cream. After finishing it last night, she kept it in the cold storage room and had it brought out just a moment ago.
