Ming Yue didn't know what to say, she was overwhelmed. In the end, she handed XIng'er back to Aunt Cui.
"Thank you", she quietly said to them, "Thank you so much for this."
It was then that Aunt Cui shed a tear and embraced her. The little girl that once stayed with her at the brothel was now a grown woman.
"It should be me thanking you, now please, enjoy yourself today", she told her.
After the moment they all had together, Elder Fei had gone back into the kitchen, this time with a bit of help in the form of two assistant cooks. Together, they pumped out dish after dish as if they were on a mission to fill everyone's stomach.
The party continued onwards with everyone chatting and mingling as the food was served at each table. It was one course after another; chicken, beef, fish, rice, noodles, and so much more.
Ming Yue was one of the busier guests, tasting each dish but also conversing with the others.
