Ye Xin hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jiang Jin’s arm and said, “Grandma, thank you!”
Jiang Jin patted Ye Xin’s hand and said, “The first thing we should do is win over those fussy wealthy and influential Madams…”
“I’m good at that!” Ye Xin said excitedly. It finally dawned on her that Jiang Jin was really going to teach her how to run a business. Taking down Zhuang Ji was one of the tasks Mu Qing had given her.
Ye Xin had already mentioned it once to Mu Chen that she did not want to return to the hospital and wanted to focus on Zhuang Ji instead. She did not think it would be so easy for her to succeed. Who knew Jiang Jin would take the initiative to bring this matter up and pave the road for her? This was an unexpected windfall! She was so ecstatic that she forgot herself and said words that should not be said. She was filled with disdain for Song Ning when she saw the dazed expressions on Jiang Jin and Sister Yu’s faces. Based on the two elderly women’s expressions, she could tell Song Ning was really bad at winning over those wealthy Madams. She felt a sense of superiority when she thought about this.
Ye Xin tried to restrain her excitement before she said with a smile, “Grandma, I really need to learn to get along with those wealthy and influential Madams. Like you said, this will help Mu Chen in the future. Moreover, I’ll be the future Madam of the Mu family. I have to learn to do things properly. Otherwise, it’d be embarrassing for Mu Chen.”
Ye Xin’s smile vanished as she continued to say, “Mu Chen seems unhappy with me recently. Perhaps, if I can help him lighten his burden, he won’t be unhappy with me anymore. I want to be the leader of the family like you, Grandma. You have to teach me!”
Mu Qing was the one who gave Jiang Jin the nickname ‘the leader of the family’. Apart from Mu Qing, no one called her that.
Ye Xin, who was unaware of the thoughts in Jiang Jin’s mind, asked happily, “Grandma, are we really going to Zhuang Ji today?”
Jiang Jin nodded. “Go and change. You have to dress well. We can’t let those Madams think badly of you…”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xin rushed back to her room, delighted.
At the same time, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu’s smiles vanished.
Jiang Jin said with a hint of frostiness, “Tell A Nuan to keep a close on the baby. No one’s allowed to touch the baby…”
“Don’t worry, Old Madam. Everything has been arranged…” Sister Yu said in a low voice.
…
At this time, Gao Wen was walking around the exhibition hall in Zhuang Ji. She sneered when she looked at the things here that were made by Zhuang Yi.
Gao Wen’s eyes swept over the exquisite embroidery pieces in the hall and sneered inwardly. ‘Such a talented woman, and yet, she was still abandoned in the end…’
She thought she was much better than Zhuang Yi even if she was not as talented as Zhuang Yi. Her family background was superior, and her husband, Ye He, did not abandon or divorce her.
Gao Wen looked at the embroidery of a pair of mandarin ducks, which symbolized conjugal affections and love, and thought to herself mockingly, ‘Mandarin ducks? Your husband and I were once like a pair of mandarin ducks as well. Whoever thought to use mandarin ducks to symbolize love is stupid. Mandarin ducks aren’t loyal, after all.’
“Madam, do you like this piece of embroidery?”
A voice filled with laughter pulled Gao Wen back to her senses.
Gao Wen turned around. She was stunned when she saw the Old Madam of the Mu family. She hurriedly smiled and greeted Jiang Jin. “Hello, Old Madam Mu!”
Gao Wen felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. After all, the previous incidents had caused their relationship to sour. Moreover, she did not expect Jiang Jin to be so polite to her as though Jiang Jin had forgotten what had happened in the past.
Gao Wen was not someone who did not know what was good for her. She naturally knew it was good to remain diplomatic.
Jiang Jin asked with a smile, “Did you see anything you like? Why don’t you let my granddaughter-in-law help you choose a piece?”
Only after Gao Wen heard these words did she notice the young woman standing behind Jiang Jin.. She was briefly stunned due to how much the young woman resembled her daughter, Ye Xin.
