Yuezheng Ting was Yuezheng Xiao's cousin, the youngest daughter of the second section of the family.
The two sections of the family were not on good terms with each other. Although Yuezheng Ting was just a girl, Yuezheng Xiao did not think that she knew much.
The first section of the family did not have any daughters, and the daughters of the second section of the family were born by his second aunt, Ms. Mi. The two girls loved to behave well in front of grandmother, especially Yuezheng Ting, who knew how to make her grandmother happy. Hence, their grandmother liked the second section of the family more and more.
Therefore, Yuezheng Xiao tried not to get too close to this cousin of his.
He disliked her even more when he discovered that this cousin loved to follow him just to get close to Xie Jingrong.
It seemed that his grandmother, second aunt and second uncle understood that the girl was not a match for the lineal grandson of the Xie Family, so they did not say a thing on the surface.
But he did not think that Yuezheng Ting's parents were not aware of what their daughter was planning. They were just pretending not to know or see.
They were hoping for a miracle.
If Xie Jingrong fell for Yuezheng Ting, the whole thing would fall in place naturally. Even if Xie Jingrong did not fall for her, Yuezheng Ting's name would not be ruined because she had her cousin as a shield.
It was not easy to see if Yuezheng Ting was here on purpose.
She sounded harmlessly nice when she claimed that she was here buying things for her grandmother.
Yuezheng Xiao could not drive her away, so he smiled. "What a coincidence!
Have you eaten lunch? You can join us if you haven't."
Yuezheng Ting chuckled and smiled with her eyes blinking. "Ah… well, I was going to go back home for lunch, sorry to trouble you."
Yuezheng Xiao smiled and introduced Shao Yunduan and his family to Yuezheng Ting.
Yuezheng Ting could see that Qiao Xuan was plainly dressed, but she had never seen them before. She was curious and greeted them politely.
Then she saw Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao who seemed too timid to raise their heads. Yuezheng Ting sneered inwardly but showed no look on her face. She just ignored them and smiled at Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong.
They talked about the good things they knew, their orchids, banquets and all. She tried to cater to Xie Jingrong.
Xie Jingrong was not very talkative, but he did not pretend to be distant. Before Yuezheng Ting came, he and Shao Yunduan were having a good conversation, but he fell into silence when Yuezheng Ting came over.
Unless Yuezheng Ting asked him of her own accord, he would not respond to a thing of his own accord.
Yuezheng Ting had not yet managed to see her Third Brother and Xie Jingrong together for a long time, and on this rare occasion, she believed that Xie
Jingrong would stay more patient, and talked more.
But Xie Jingrong was so annoyed and so was Yuezheng Xiao.
What a shameless person!
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had sensed the hidden trouble between them. They exchanged a look and felt helpless.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong had to let the show go on. So, they needed to finish the whole meal from beginning to the end.
Qiao Xuan could sense that Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were nervous. She smiled at Shao Xiaoqi and patted Shao Taotao's hands, saying with a smile,
"Let's eat, the dishes are expensive, don't waste them.."
