C77 (2/2)
The dignified elegance that had been cultivated over the years in the Wealthy Class life, coupled with the bookish atmosphere filled with poetry made her feel as if she had walked out of a painting or a poem.
His arm was wrapped around Ye Dongmo's, who was wearing a black suit. It was probably because of the joyous atmosphere that accompanied the suit for a few days. Instead of wearing his usual favorite black and white shirt, he wore a wine-red one.
Especially for him, today, there was a rare hint of a demonic smile on his face. It made his originally lofty face even more resplendent.
When he and Jin Jingyan appeared, it immediately made the other guests, both male and female, lose their luster.
Praise and flashing lights struck the two of them, causing the smile on Ye Dongmo's face to grow even wider. He turned his head and whispered to Jin Jingyan, ”Our Yan is so beautiful today, it reminded me of Dai Wushu's < Rain Lane >.”
Jin Jingyan gave a sweet smile as she whispered into Ye Dongmo's ear, ”Big Brother is also very handsome today, but it's a pity that he's not my prince!”
The hand in the crook of his older brother's arm tightened mischievously, ”And I'm not that lily-like, melancholy, and grudging girl in the rainy alley!”
He raised his head with a provocative smile, ”On the contrary, big brother seems to have something on his mind recently!”
Ye Dongmo pursed his lips but did not answer. Being found out by his sister, he did indeed have something on his mind. Every time it was quiet at night, he would think to himself, towards Qi Miao, is he really that bad?
Had she survived the worst?
Was it still possible to see the faint dimples on the lips of the little pear, that silly yet innocent smile?
If he and Jin Jingyan were to whisper like this, the onlookers would think that Yanran was a pair of lovers muttering.
Those who wanted to curry favor with him took this opportunity to flatter him:
What golden boy and girl with a face.
What a perfect match.
Regarding this, Jin Jingyan only smiled slightly, and said, ”Thank you. In a while, don't be too surprised, everyone!”
Ye Zichen looked towards his older brother and raised his eyebrows mischievously.
He shook Ye Dongmo's arm, ”We should go see Grandma!”
”Alright!”
”Nervous?”
Ye Dongmo looked at his sister with a funny expression, ”Are you nervous?”
”A little!”
Jin Jingyan was telling the truth.
Since her half-brother had returned to the family, she wasn't sure if her grandmother would be able to accept him.
She wasn't sure if it would cause a huge commotion.
That year's scandal was a taboo at Jin Family. If her brother hadn't told her the whole story, she would only know that her father had a brief marriage before he married her mother. This marriage, the family didn't dare to mention.
On the other hand, even though her father had suffered a stroke today, if he were to hear of such a huge commotion, wouldn't he be agitated and cause his illness to worsen? She wasn't too sure.
However, she wanted her brother to recognize her as his ancestor. He had suffered too many grievances and hardships, and regardless of what his mother had done wrong in the past, none of it had anything to do with her brother.
He should have been a unique young master with Jin Family. He should have enjoyed all the glory of Jin Family.
Furthermore, he was not like the past, where he was forced to work everywhere, bullied and bullied by the young masters. He was not like now, where he had to serve the entire Sheng Jin Group, yet still had to bear the title of ”Soft Rice Man”, and be disdained by others.
At first, though, she did not approve of revealing his identity on Grandmother's birthday, and she thought it would be better to speak privately with her in advance.
However, he felt that his brother's words were reasonable and that they should be communicated in advance. If his grandmother were to consult with his family, it might cause some changes and bring about unnecessary trouble.
