When Ye Linlang heard that Shen Xiâer had brought a gift, her heart skipped a beat!
Thatâs right!
It was her first time meeting Jiang Qiranâs parents, but she was empty-handed and didnât bring anything!
Ye Linlang suddenly felt that she was really too stupid. She had even forgotten the most basic social etiquetteâ¦
However⦠with Jiang Qiranâs family background, they were definitely used to seeing all kinds of luxurious things. What could she possibly bring out?
In terms of intentions, Ye Linlang didnât know what Jiang Qiranâs parents liked. Thinking back carefully, she actually didnât know what she could give them.
â¦
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlangâs dejected look, he subconsciously clenched her hand, indicating that Ye Linlang didnât need to care too much about such things.
On the other side, Shen Xiâer had already opened her handbag with a smile and took out an exquisite double-sided embroidered silk fan.
âAuntie, I know that you like antiques the most. It just so happened that the last time I was at an exhibition, I saw a famous embroidery master there, so I specially paid a visit and asked for a fan.â
As Shen Xiâer spoke, she opened the fan for Su Wan to see.
âThis is a double-sided embroidery. It will be more exquisite under the sun. It will definitely suit your temperament.â
When Su Wan heard this, she did not feel surprised. She had indeed always liked antique things.
She reached out and took the double-sided silk fan embroidered with elegant orchids. She slowly opened it and fanned it twice. The jade feathers on the handle of the fan quivered and a few glazed threads were messed up.
âItâs so beautiful. I like it very much. You are so thoughtful. You even went to look for the master in the exhibition.â
Su Wan slightly smiled at Shen Xiâer.
Shen Xiâer looked very embarrassed and her face was slightly red.
âItâs my pleasure. I havenât seen you for many years. I have always missed Auntie.â
What Shen Xiâer gave Jiang Xuecheng was a brand-new watch for men. It was a Patek Philippe exclusive to the world. It was designed with black diamonds and was generous and neat.
Compared to the double-sided embroidered silk fan in front, this gift might be more expensive, but for people in the Jiang family who were used to seeing famous watches, it was naturally not rare.
Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng only nodded his head lightly.
However, Shen Xiâer did not care. After all, they had been neighbors for so many years. How could she not know what kind of cold personality Jiang Xuecheng had? He even treated his own son with a lukewarm attitude, not to mention that she was an outsider.
Only Su Wan was an exception.
It was as if she had always been the only one in the eyes of Jiang Xuecheng.
Shen Xiâer understood that as long as she fawned over Su Wan, it would indirectly be equivalent to fawning over both Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
â¦
Because of Jiang Xuechengâs cold attitude, Su Wan was a little embarrassed. After all, it was such an expensive watch.
And it was a gift from a junior.
When she went back, she still had to get someone to buy a female-style watch or jewelry and ask Shen Xiâerâs mother to give it back to Shen Xiâer.
Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable.
With a smile on her face, Su Wan asked Shen Xiâer a few more questions about her parents have been doing.
Shen Xiâer was even more surprised. She mistakenly thought that Su Wan Wanted to have dinner with her family, so she answered even more warmly.
â¦
Ye Linlang saw the interaction between Su Wan and Shen Xiâer and unconsciously bit the corner of her lips.
It seemed that Jiang Qiranâs mother liked Shen Xiâer very much.
And Shen Xiâer really knew how to cater to her interests.
So it turned out that Su Wanâs mother liked antique things. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
The last time at that inn, Jiang Qiran saw a Guqin on the wall that said that Su Wan plays the Guqin. Later on, Su Wan specially gave her an antique-looking traditional dress.
However, elegance also required capital. The Guqin was very expensive, and Guqin scores was even harder to find. She was not an embroidery lady, and she did not know how to make clothes or make silk fans.
Then what else could she do?
She could not afford it, and she could not make it herself.
Ye Linlang suddenly felt inferior.
â¦
Shen Xiâer saw Ye Linlangâs eyelashes slightly drooping, and it was obvious that she had a lot on her mind. She immediately raised her chin at Ye Linlang.
âMiss Ye, you came to visit Uncle and Auntie today. Did you bring anything? Iâm very curious!â
When Su Wan heard Shen Xiâerâs words, the smile on her lips instantly froze.
Why did she feel that Shen Xiâer seemed to be especially targeting that girl called Ye Linlang today?
However, Su Wan had experienced so many things after all. She had seen all kinds of ups and downs in the world, so how could she be bewitched by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
If she had guessed correctly, Shen Xiâer probably still liked her son.
In fact, it was very strange. Back then, Su Wan had indeed felt that it wouldnât be too bad if Shen Xiâer and Jiang Qiran became a couple. After all, the two generations interacted, and their family backgrounds matched each other.
However, after that, Shen Xiâer had followed her parents to study in the Dong Chen Country without any hesitation. They had not seen each other for several years, so there was no chance for them to develop!
Furthermore, Jiang Qiran already had a girlfriend!
â¦
Because of Shen Xiâerâs question, everyoneâs gazes turned towards Ye Linlang.
With so many people looking at her, and two of them were Jiang Qiranâs parents, Ye Linlang felt as if she had been stripped naked and had nowhere to hide.
She blushed and tightly held onto Jiang Qiranâs fingers. There was a hint of shame on her face.
âComing in a hurry⦠I forgotâ¦â
Ye Linlang stuttered. She wished that there was a hole in the ground so that she could get into it!
Seeing Ye Linlangâs embarrassed expression, Su Wan quickly walked down.
After all, she was 16 or 17 years old and she did not have much face. Perhaps this little girl was already embarrassed.
Moreover, she and Jiang Xuecheng were not the kind of people who liked to receive gifts whenever they met people.
Su Wan walked down from the pavilion with a smile on her face.
âIâve always been curious about what my sonâs girlfriend looks like. Itâs already a surprise to see her today. What other gifts do I need?â
When Ye Linlang heard Su Wanâs words, she could not help but feel grateful in her heart.
She looked at Su Wanâs almond-shaped eyes that were as bright as the stars, but she did not have that kind of contempt that was common among upper-class people. In fact, she was even more approachable than the butler who opened the door earlierâ¦
Ye Linlangâs face suddenly turned hot, and she felt like crying in her heart.
She hummed in a low voice, and unconsciously, she had a better impression of Jiang Qiranâs mother.
Ye Linlang was not stupid. She knew that Su Wan was giving her a way out.
Shen Xiâer did not expect that she would not succeed in sowing discord at all.
She gritted her teeth and suddenly thought of another way.
âAuntie, I want to play another round of golf. Please play with me for a while!â
Shen Xiâer took the opportunity to shake Su Wanâs arm, but her beautiful eyes looked askance at Ye Linlang.
âMiss Ye, do you want to come along?â
She was sure that a bumpkin from the countryside would not play golf!
