Chapter 125 (1/2)

Hearing his words makes Ye Qing Xin smiles and her heart is warm.

This time the hall is filled with quite a lot of people. A lot of young men shakes hand with Jing Bo Yuan.

Ye Qing Xin takes initiative to move aside to give them space and time.

Jing Bo Yuan smiles at them but his smile is so different from the smile he shows to her. When he smiles at her, he always shows his sincere and relaxed smile.

Everyone watches the silent Ye Qing Xin. They are examining her for a short moment and shifts their gaze at Jing Bo Yuan.

Ye Qing Xin keeps her smile.

Inside the hall.

Jing Zong and Jing Yan (Jing Suo Suo’s father) stands in front of the door to greet the guests.

Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and gets inside. Although there’s not lot of guests, but their gaze makes her a bit nervous. She raises her head and chest high and tires hard to make herself look calm. She smiles a bit more naturally.

It’s just she cannot stop her hands to be sweaty.

Jing Bo Yuan notices it and pats her hands. He lowers her head and says to her: “I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

His gentle gaze makes Ye Qing Xin’s nervousness slowly disappears. She smiles at him, “Em.”

“Pa, San Shu (Third uncle).” Jing Bo Yuan greets Jing Zong and Jing Yan.

Jing Zong nods and Jing Yan points them to the resting area: “Nai Nai is there, go there.”

Jing Bo Yuan nods toward Jing Yan and takes Ye Qing Xin to the resting area. A lot of young men shake his hand so they spend quite a while on the way there.

The resting area is big. There’s a lot of sofas inside. There’re a lot of old and young women with luxurious clothes and jewelry.

Ye Qing Xin says: “No wonder there’re only gentlemen outside, the ladies are inside.”

Ye Qing Xin comes inside and Old Madame Jing notices her. Everyone is asking her about Ye Qing Xin’s identity. “That is my granddaughter-in-law, how is she? She is pretty right? Our A Yuan has a really great taste! In the future my grandkid will be white and chubby and beautiful!”

Old Madame Jing always remembers her inexistent grandkid.

“It’s certain thing. A Yuan’s taste is very good. In short ten years he can popularize Bo Wei’s group abroad. Of course he is good also at choosing a wife.” Someone says.

“But from which rich family this girl come? In the past I never saw her. Did she study abroad?” Someone asks.

“What is rich and not rich. As long as our A Yuan likes and she is a daughter from clean family. Other things are not important.” Old Madame Jing says, she doesn’t care about well-matched in social and economic status.

From her words, everyone know that Ye Qing Xin is not coming from a rich family.

Jing family is a part of military and political family. Jing Bo Yuan is a business man that is quite ruthless. A lot of people wants to marry into Jing family. But today they are showed an unknown young woman that can get his attention.

They examine her, this young girl is too young. But she has great trick.

Ye Qing Xin tries hard to ignore their gaze and smiles to everyone. She holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and walks toward Old Madame Jing. She passes a box to her. “Nai Nai, I wish you a long life. This is for you. I hope that you’ll like it.”

She doesn’t say it clearly that the gift is from her.

Old Madame Jing knows her family condition. She couldn’t buy an expensive jewelry. She knows that Old Madame Jing also knows that she is given a gift by another. If she says directly it’s from her, she is afraid that Old Madame jing will think that she is insincere kid.

Now talking like that, everyone will think that the gift is from her. Even Old Madame Jing wants to find fault with it, she couldn’t do it.

It’s the trick or wording.

Jing Yi (Jing Suo Suo’s mother) stands beside Old Madame Jing and hurriedly wants to help to take the gift. The time she wants to take it, Old Madame Jing is faster, she takes it and smiles: “I want to see what our Xin Xin give me.”

Someone jokes: “Old Madame is showing favor to her. We also gave you gifts but you didn’t want to open it directly. Indeed she is your granddaughter-in-law, you treat her differently from us.”

“Yes, Old Madame.”

Old Madame Jing just smiles and opens the box. The time she sees the gift, her eyes turns bright.

She always loves jade, emerald. But she doesn’t show it too much. She just passes the box to Ji Yi: “Thank you Xin Xin, Nai Nai loves it.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “It’s good Nai Nai likes it.” She says it and greets Ji Yi: “San Shen (Third Auntie).”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan, Jing Bo Yuan smiles and nods at her.

After Ye Qing Xin sits down beside Old Madame Jing, Jing Bo Yuan says to Old Madame Jing and Ji Yi: “Grandma, San Shen, I’ll go out first.” Then he smiles to everyone; “Excuse me.”

His every word and every deed is well-mannered.

Jing Bo Yuan then turns his body to leave. He is at ease to leave Ye Qing Xin with Old Madame Jing.

Ye Qing Xin: “…….”

One after another guests come inside to congratulate Old Madame jing.

Ye Qing Xin keeps on smiling and because she is beautiful and also sits beside Old Madame Jing, everyone that come to congratulate Old Madame Jing will ask about her.

Every time Old Madame Jing replies happily: “This is my granddaughter-in-law.”

Finally there are two familiar people come inside: Gu Qiao and Wen Ren Xi.

Gu Qiao notices Ye Qing Xin beside Old Madame Jing. She seems to be panic, while Wen Ren Xi expects Ye Qing Xin to be here. Both of them pass the gift and congratulate her.

Wen Ren Xi seems to notice Ye Qing Xin’s nervousness and calls her: “Xin Xin.” Then she says to Old Madame Jing: “Old Madame, last night Bo Yuan took Xin Xin to have dinner at my restaurant. I like Xin Xin so much, can you lend your granddaughter-in-law for me for a while? Let me to chat with her?”

Wen Ren Xi is wearing a simple dress but she is attractive. Not only because she is beautiful but her demeanor is exceptional.

Old Madame Jing smiles: “Of course. But don’t you bully my granddaughter-in-law.”

Wen Ren Xi: “Old Madame, don’t you know me well? Am I that kind of unruly person?”

Ye Qing Xin thanks Wen Ren Xi with her eyes.

Honestly, inside the resting area, she just knows Old Madame Jing and Ji Yi but she isn’t that close to them. As for the others, they make her feel uncomfortable because of their judging eyes.

Ye Qing Xin, Wen Ren Xi and Gu Qiao walk toward the sofa near the window and sit down there. It’s quite far from Old Madame Jing and friends. All the other wants to earn favor from Old Madame Jing so they focus on Old Madame Jing.

“Have you been here for a long time?” Wen Ren Xi asks. Then there’s a sound of ‘xiu’ under her skirt.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I just come too.”

“You need to be used to this kind of event. Later on you marry with Bo Yuan, there’s even more grand event than this. You will receive a lot of gaze from others.” Wen Ren Xi advises her.

Ye Qing Xin replies: “I’ll try my best. Thank you Xi Jie.”

Wen Ren Xi asks her: “You don’t know this person right, she is Gu Qiao.”

Gu Qiao smiles: “Xi Jie, I knew Xin Xin earlier than you, right Xin Xin?”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Gu Qiao and laughs: “Qiao Qiao Jie.”

The time Ye Qing Xin’s gaze falls on her neck, she is startled.

She didn’t pay attention to her before. Gu Qiao is wearing the necklace that is similar to the one that her mother gave to her. It’s with the eye pedant.

The only thing that is different is the direction of the teardrop and eyelash. Seems… one is the left eye, the other is right eye.

Gu Qiao’s pedant is the right eye and hers is the left eye.

Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and Gu Qiao notices her gaze. She touches her necklace and smiles: “This one with the blue diamond is exceptional right?”

Ye Qing Xin nods.

Yes… it’s very exceptional.

Gu Qiao says: “I heard from Nai Nai that this was designed by my Gu Fu (uncle) for my Gu Gu (auntie). You might not know my Gu Gu, she is my Nai Nai’s biological daughter. But it’s a pity she died young. She is gone….”

Gu Qiao’s voice turns lower. “I heard from my Nai Nai. That the relationship between my Gu Gu and Gu Fu is really good. They are childhood sweetheart. The time they were together, they never fight with each other. Probably because the heaven is jealous with them, so three of them died in accident.”

“It’s a very special necklace, there’s should be a few of them right.”

“Of course. This one is designed personally by my Gu Fu. He made him by himself. There’s only one.” Gu Qiao says firmly and proudly.

Ye Qing Xin purses her lips: “Then, if there’s one similar like you?”

“It’s should be the imitation.” Gu Qiao smiles: “Nai Nai said that year the first time Gu Fu designed this, it caused a great sensation around the jewelry designer. A lot of stores want to buy it, but he didn’t sell it and some of them tried to imitate what he designed.”

Ye Qing Xin nods.

The imitators’ ability cannot be looked down. The one with her, should be fake too.

She thinks about it her mother is poor, how can she buy an expensive jewelry.

Luckily this period of time, she feels uncomfortable to wear it when she takes shower. So she just put it at her wardrobe. If not she will wear it and maybe she will turn to a great joke for others.

Wen Ren Xi notices that both of them are familiar with each other, she smiles: “You guys know each other so I don’t need to introduce you guys to each other.” She then strokes her cat’s head, Xi Fan: “Xi Fan, why you haven’t greeted these beautiful Jie Jie?”

Xi Fan raises her head lazily and says “Meow Meow” to both Ye Qing Xin and GU Qiao.

Ye Qing Xin looks at the cat’s eyes. Its eyes are brown.
