Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seated beside the man, the woman had fair skin and an elegant appearance. Because she took good care of herself, she looked to be in her early thirties at most. She wore a misty long dress, and her exquisite hair bun was decorated with a jade hairpin. There were no other unnecessary ornaments on her, giving off a faintly elegant aura.
The moment Su Qian stepped into the front hall, the previous lively conversations halted, and gazes turned toward her.
The moment Dongfang Ruyan saw Su Qian, her heart inexplicably trembled.
In that brief moment, she thought she had seen Su Qian’s mother, Nangong Qingxue!
Truly the daughter of Nangong Qingxue, she looked exactly like her.
Impressed by the resemblance, Dongfang Ruyan’s face quickly turned into a gentle smile. She stood up and said, “This is Qianqian, right?”
Lady Wen held Su Qian’s hand and walked towards Dongfang Ruyan. She smiled and said, “Indeed she is Qianqian. Ruyan, don’t you think she looks like her mother?”
Su Qian was pulled in front of Dongfang Ruyan and glanced at her calmly.
The fragrance on this woman’s body was so unique.
She felt like she had smelled it somewhere before.
Dongfang Ruyan looked at Su Qian lovingly and reached out to grab her hand. She smiled and said, “Qianqian might not recognize me. The last time I saw you, you were still a baby. Time passed really quickly. In the blink of an eye, Qianqian had grown up so much. I heard that you have children. Why weren’t the children here?”
This warm attitude didn’t seem distant at all.
Su Qian calmly withdrew her hand from Dongfang Ruyan’s grasp and smiled politely. “The children are afraid of strangers, so they didn’t come together.”
Seeing Su Qian’s reserved attitude, Dongfang Ruyan’s smile froze.
However, it was only for a moment before her expression returned to normal.
“Qianqian, don’t just stand there. Sit down and talk.” Lady Zhou smiled and spoke to Su Qian.
Su Qian turned to look at Lady Zhou and Nangong Lie and revealed a warm smile from the bottom of her heart. Then, she turned around and walked to an empty seat not far away to sit down.
Dongfang Ruyan looked at the cold and distant Su Qian. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that this woman not only looked like Nangong Qingxue, but even her aura was similar to Nangong Qingxue.
However, Su Qian’s demeanor was more indifferent and aloof than Nangong Qingxue’s.
“Qianqian, let me introduce you. The person beside me is the First Elder of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Huo,” Dongfang Ruyan introduced him to Su Qian.
Su Qian smiled and nodded at Dongfang Huo as a greeting.
Dongfang Huo stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile, “Come to think of it, the first time I heard of Miss Su’s name was not from Ruyan but from the younger generation in the family. There’s a rumor in the martial world about a remarkable poison physician, and the medical and poison skills are said to be superb.”
The Nangong family took pride in Su Qian as well. Hearing Dongfang Huo’s words, Nangong Lie laughed heartily and said, “Qianqian is really becoming more remarkable. The younger generation of our Nangong family all look up to Qianqian as a role model. If Qianqian’s mother knows from the afterlife, she would be at ease.”
When he mentioned Su Qian’s mother, a hint of sadness flashed across Nangong Lie’s eyes.
When they thought of Nangong Qingxue, the smiles on the others’ faces faded..
