Chapter 21.2 - Cousin (1/2)

For a while, Jiang Youyao quietly and closely examined Jiang Li from head to toe. Her heart was utterly annoyed to discover that although Jiang Li’s dress wasn’t as delicate as hers, it didn’t lose out to her. That quiet and exquisite, clean and honest appearance truly resembled the type of people that father Jiang Yuan Bai admired.

Jiang Youyao gripped the handkerchief in her hands tightly and took a deep breath. She took the initiative to show a smile and spoke: “Second sister.” Ji Shuran had repeatedly warned her to absolutely not show hostility in front of outsiders at this juncture in the Jiang residence.

“Third sister.” Jiang Li also replied with a smile that was different from Jiang Youyao’s forced smile. Jiang Li’s smile was natural and sincere. Whoever saw it wouldn’t doubt her friendliness at this time.

Jiang Youyao felt extremely disgusted and suddenly spoke: “Second sister should have passed your birthday1, right?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Youyao raised her head and smiled: “In a few days, I will also have my birthday. Second sister must not forget to send a gift to younger sister.”

Jiang Li was startled and replied: “What? Since third sister is going to reach a marriageable age, I will definitely send a congratulatory gift.”

“That’s good, I heard grandmother said a lot of people were invited to attend my birthday. Second sister just returned to the capital, maybe you can make friends by meeting a bit more people.” She spoke meaningfully.

Jiang Li did not mind the meaning hidden behind Jiang Youyao’s words. She didn’t even care about Jiang Yu’e smile which seemed to be making fun of her. She only thought that Jiang second miss was all alone in Mount Qingchen when she reached her marriageable age, yet not even one person remembered. While Jiang third miss’s birthday was arranged grandly. Both were obviously daughters from the first wife, yet this disparity was just too big.

Thinking about this, she was somewhat sympathetic to the untimely demise of Jiang second miss.

At least, Xue Fang Fei had never felt being treated coldly by her own relatives.

She felt a bit disinterested and turned around with Tong’er to go in another direction. Unexpectedly, she had just taken two steps before almost directly bumping into a person.

“Use your eyes when you walk ah!” That person spoke unhappily.

“It’s you who first bumped into our young lady!” Tong’er couldn’t help speaking out.

“When is it time for a servant to interrupt.” That voice turned angrier but in a second, it spoke distractedly: “Jiang Li?”
