It was late at night when Ji Wujin was sent back to Xiaoxiang Lou. She was sleepless with a bank note of a thousand taels of silver in her arms.

The bank note seemed to persuaded her as if it could, “let’s go. Take me and let’s run away. We can eat whatever we want if we get out of here. You will never worry about being hungry again!”

Ji Wujin was deeply tempted. What it said was right. She could live on the money for the rest of her life and she kept thinking of running away with that money.

But there was also another voice inside her mind to stop her, “you can’t run away. If you do now, you might be caught back by that man and you will end up very ugly! Besides, if you run away, you wouldn’t have a chance to make more money. Do you forget about the one thousand taels of gold? The gold is just under your nose. It’s worth a try.”

These two voices kept fighting fiercely to early morning. Ji Wujin didn’t sleep until she was too tired to think of whether she should run away.

The next morning, Ji Wujin got up early and finished dressing herself up when Xiaocui came.

“Xiaocui, I’m not going to fight over steamed bread today. Remember, fight hard if you do! Don’t confront them face to face! Try go low and grab your chance.”

Then she patted Xiaocui on the shoulder happily with a meaningful smile on her face and walked to Xiao Panpan’s room casually, leaving Xiaocui alone to figure out what she meant.

It was a brand new feeling to have money. Her goal was no longer snack food like steamed bread. She would eat pure meat-stuffed steamed bun today.

But before that, she would invite someone important, Xiao Panpan.

Knock Knock Knock! The maid in pink answered the door, looking at her unfriendly. Ji Wujin said to her with a smiling face, “is Miss Panpan up?”

The maid sneered and turned around without saying a word.

Ji Wujin followed. Xiao Panpan was up. She was sitting in front of the mirror, combing her long black hair with an ivory comb. She nodded to Ji Wujin as a greet when she saw Ji Wujin from the mirror.

Ji Wujin was amazed again by the astonishing beauty of her.

No wonder the rich man asked her to win the competition. With that gorgeous face, she had a chance.

The smile on Ji Wujin’s face got bigger,

“Panpan, did you have a good sleep last night? You must be very tired of playing music all night yesterday.”

Xiao Panpan shook her head slightly, but the maid in pink argued.

“Music? My lady played the Chinese zither, very different from those street artists.”

Xiao Panpan’s face changed slightly.

“Yiyi.”

Yiyi rolled her eyes at Ji Wujin and shut up reluctantly. Ji Wujin flattered,

“Hah! Excuse for my little knowledge of music.”

Yiyi was even more furious even though Ji Wujin apologized.

Xiao Panpan was surprised that she would say that. She burst into a laughter.

Ji Wujin was stunned by her smile. Xiao Panpan was beautiful even when she was not smiling. Now her beauty was breathtaking.

Her dumbfounded face made Xiao Panpan smile bigger. She was not in a good mood a moment ago but now her mood was brightened up.

“Mama Jiao, do you have anything to say to me?”

“Yes. I am inviting you to have breakfast with me.”

“I bet it’s steamed bread again! No one likes fighting over it!” Yiyi complained. Ji Wujin was not angry but smiled,

“Wrong. We don’t need to fight for breakfast today. We are going to eat something nice, the Wang’s meat-stuffed steamed bun!”

“Huh? Oh…”

Xiao Panpan didn’t understand why Ji Wujin was so excited about steamed buns. But since she was rushing her, she dressed up quickly.

Not for a while, they went downstairs quickly.

“Excuse me! 20 big meat-stuffed steamed buns!”

“Gotcha. Here are 20 big meat-stuffed steamed buns for you. Enjoy yourself!”

Ji Wujin sat down at a table by the street to show off that she had money to buy steamed buns!

When the buns were served, they were still steaming hot. Ji Wujin swallowed saliva and picked one bun for Xiao Panpan,

“Come on, eat, Panpan. This is on me! Enjoy yourself!”

“Mama Jiao, have you washed your hands before you gave my lady the bun?” Yiyi complained as she usually did, looking at Ji Wujin’s hand in disgust. She grabbed chopsticks and bowls quickly, picked two buns and poured a bit vinegar, and placed it in front of Xiao Panpan,

“Please, my lady.”

Xiao Panpan disapproved Yiyi’s action though, she put down Ji Wujin’s bun and smiled at her with an apology,

“She is worried about my sensitive stomach. She is used to it. Please forgive her if she offended you.”

“Haha, I am fine. Don’t worry about it. I can eat this one. You can use chopsticks.”

Without bearing it any longer, Ji Wujin grabbed the bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Wow…” It was the taste she had been dreaming of, she had been crazy about. The Wang’s streamed bun, tasty but not greasy, best of all, worthy of fame.

Xiao Panpan was surprised to see how much Ji Wujin enjoyed the steamed bun. Her exaggerated passion for the steamed bun made her to get curious about if that bun was really that good.

She had a bite with doubts.

“Well. Is it amazing?!”
