Pleasing the future mother-in-law is the most important thing; it’s better for a girl to be a bit reserved.
Song Yiren helplessly could only stay by Lady Song’s side, listening to the boring pleasantries of these elite ladies, barely suppressing her yawns.
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the venue, and upon hearing the noise, everyone turned their heads to look.
The next moment, Yun Shu walked in arm-in-arm with Kang Jinxian, followed by Yun Shen with Kang Jinse, one after the other.
This family was often in the news because of scandals and gossip, and there was hardly anyone in Jiangzhou who didn’t recognize them, but these self-proclaimed upper-class elites actually looked down on the Yun Family deep down.
However, the last radiant figure caught the attention of everyone present in an instant.
Clad in a fluorescent green dress, she was like the morning star in the darkness, or a lighthouse on the distant ocean, impossible to overlook.
As she drew nearer, the reflection of her nearly glowing white skin under the fluorescent green light made her stunning features even more dazzling, deeply stirring the eyes of all who beheld her.
Her aura was incredibly pure, like a piece of uncut jade untouched by worldly affairs, every movement exuding an enchanting elegance that was breathtaking to behold.
Some whispered among themselves, "Who is this girl? She seems a bit unfamiliar, but she sure is beautiful..."
"Do you know about Ji Lanyi?"
"Of course I do, she was once the top socialite, and though that woman was outspoken, her elegance and grace were unmatched." There was a hint of nostalgia in the voice.
"This girl is Ji Lanyi’s daughter, named Ji Yunya. She just returned from overseas at Kang Jinxian’s coming-of-age party recently. It was reported in the newspapers."
"Eh? Is she the girl from that set of twins? Did not expect her to grow up so much, her brother, though, it’s a pity..."
"Tsk, truly worthy of being Ji Lanyi’s daughter, both her looks and temperament are impeccable."
In a moment, sighs of admiration filled the air, and everyone could only see Ji Yunya, completely disregarding Kang Jinxian.
Kang Jinxian couldn’t help biting her teeth, head slightly bowed to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
She couldn’t stand it for another second.
Zhuang Xiyue listened to the people’s discussions, pride curving her lips, her face showing arrogance; anyone would think they were complimenting her own daughter.
Lady Song frowned and said, looking at the girl, "That’s a bit too showy, not good."
Zhuang Xiyue glanced at her, the corners of her lips creeping into a faint smirk.
Being too pretty is being showy? What kind of logic is that.
Zhuang Xiyue stepped towards Yun Ya, and as the lady approached, the young girl stopped in her tracks, leaning forward slightly with a look of gentle elegance: "Aunt Zhuang."
Zhuang Xiyue smiled as she reached to take her hand, her eyes and brows unable to hide her joy: "It’s really hard to get a chance to see you, Auntie. Let me look at you, you’ve become even more beautiful."
Yun Ya pursed her lips and smiled lightly, indeed shy and demure, such a lovely person.
Lady Song came over to take a closer look at the girl and asked Zhuang Xiyue, "Ah Yue, do you know this girl?"
Zhuang Xiyue naturally took Yun Ya’s arm, and the two looked as intimate as sisters, "Yes, if it weren’t for Yun Shu’s interference, Yun Ya would be my goddaughter by now."
Lady Song narrowed her eyes and took another glance at the overly beautiful girl, her gaze falling discreetly on the intertwined arms of the two, her dislike for the girl increasing by a notch. Google seaʀᴄh novel★fire.net
"Yun Ya, this is Lady Song." Zhuang Xiyue pointed to Lady Song as she introduced Yun Ya.
Yun Ya leaned forward slightly, her etiquette so flawless that it was impossible to find a single fault, as natural and graceful as flowing water, "Lady Song, hello."
Lady Song smiled and gestured lightly with her hand: "No need for so much formality, you’re so close to Ah Yue, from now on just call me Aunt Song."
Yun Ya smiled faintly, her clear and bright eyes making Lady Song somewhat unable to maintain eye contact, almost awkwardly shifting her gaze away.
Yun Ya curled her lips, appearing even more gentle and detached: "Aunt Song."
This must be Song Yiren’s mother then, it seemed Song Yiren had inherited all her mother’s beauty. Although Lady Song was almost fifty, she still possessed a lingering charm, but... Yun Ya acutely sensed her dislike for her and wondered why. Curling her lips, she smiled imperceptibly.
Song Yiren had run to Kang Jinxian right at the beginning, naturally because she really didn’t want to see Ji Yunya’s face. Holding Kang Jinxian’s arm, she glared in that direction and pouted, "When is your niece going to leave? I really don’t want to see her for a second longer."
