“Thank you, Elder Brother Li.”
Li Qingcang teased her, “Silly girl. Why are you getting so touched by such small things?”
“That’s right, Tianxin. You mustn’t cry,” Jing Zhichen chimed in. “Otherwise, if you ruin your beautiful makeup today, you won’t look like a princess anymore.”
Ye Tianxin could not help but laugh. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
He was really nice.
Elder Brother Li was really very nice.
“Alright. I can’t cry. I must smile.”
The three got into the car. Jing Zhichen drove Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin to a scenic spot that required entrance tickets.
Today was Old Madame Xie’s 100th birthday.
Most of the powerful and wealthiest people of the capital had received an invitation to the birthday banquet.
“Tianxin, I will take you to my elder sister later and come to find you again when the banquet officially starts.”
Ye Tianxin would definitely do what Li Qingcang asked her to do. She trusted Li Qingcang’s plans 200 percent.
When they arrived at the venue, Li Xingchen was playing mahjong with Old Madame Xie. Old Madame Xie looked like a kind and benevolent woman and was extremely skilled at mahjong.
“Sis, take care of Tianxin for a while.”
Li Xingchen looked at Li Qingcang who was wearing a matching suit with Tianxin’s dress. She realized that her younger brother was really a very conflicting person.
He was someone who would say something completely contrary to how he felt.
“Okay. Go to where your brother-in-law is and see if he needs your help.”
“Alright.”
Ye Tianxin waved at Li Qingcang.
Li Qingcang felt safe leaving Ye Tianxin with Li Xingchen.
He then left to mingle with other guests.
“Old Madame, do you remember when my dumb brother got injured during a mission some time ago? It was this lady who saved him.”
The old madame of the Xie family looked at Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin knew that it was her birthday today, so she greeted her, “Old Madame, wishing you a long and healthy life.”
“This lass has a sweet tongue and a kind heart. She will definitely do great things in the future.”
“I will definitely be able to do great things since you have said that, Old Madame.”
There were plenty of people who wanted to butter up to the old madame of the Xie family.
Yet, there were some people who just could not get into the old madame’s good books no matter what they did.
Ye Tianxin seemed to be the only exception.
The old madame liked Ye Tianxin from the moment she set her eyes on her.
“Lass, how old are you?”
“I just turned 18.”
The old madame stopped playing. The other players naturally did not hurry her. She said, “Eighteen is a good age. You are just like a flower in full bloom at this age. Who else is there in your family?”
“I have a grandmother. She’s back in our hometown.”
Those watching and those playing mahjong all sized Ye Tianxin up. They were thinking, ‘What in the world did the young lady do to make Old Madame Xie like her?’
“It was not easy for your grandmother to raise you. You have to be filial to your grandmother in the future.”
“Yes, I will definitely do as you say.”
“Obedient children are really good children. If my three sons were as obedient as you, I wouldn’t have to worry.”
Li Xingchen did not interrupt. However, an old woman seated beside Old Madame Xie said, “Old Madame, you mustn’t worry. What if they bring home a partner one day suddenly…”
“Given how stubborn Number Three is, I will smile so wide that I won’t be able to close my mouth if he really brings someone home, man or woman.”
Ye Tianxin’s gaze landed on the old woman who had spoken earlier.
She had noticed that the woman had six fingers on her right hand right after she sat down earlier.
