From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 666: 345 Fragrance of Heart (Third Watch of the Night)_2

“Could he be gay?”

Liu Muxue’s pupils swirled: “That makes sense, otherwise it can’t be explained.”

Li Qingyao felt relieved.

“Madam, madam…?” Madam Shen called out several times, only to see Madam Jiang staring blankly in one direction, her gaze deep and cold, which inexplicably made Madam Shen feel a bit scared.

While they were talking, Jiang Chunlan suddenly spaced out, and Madam Shen called her several times but she didn’t snap out of it, so she followed her gaze to look over.

Madam Shen’s eyes instantly lit up.

“I’ve never seen this young gentleman before. Such a divine demeanor, I’ve never seen it in my life.”

The man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look this way.

Across the vast sea of people, their eyes met.

Jiang Chunlan suddenly smiled, took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, and slowly walked away.

“Yuxun, I heard you returned to the country, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

The people surrounding Bo Yuxun saw Jiang Chunlan and automatically made way for her.

In the circle of the crowd, only Jiang Chunlan and Bo Yuxun were left.

One was a dignified and beautiful woman, and the other was tall and handsome, making a pleasing picture.

Bo Yuxun suppressed the coldness in his eyes, smiled at his lips, and raised his glass of red wine: “Madam, nice to see you well.”

Jiang Chunlan playfully retorted: “Why are you calling me madam? You used to call me sister Lan. We grew up together, there should be no formality between us.”

The people around were shocked. It turned out that Dr. Bo was a childhood friend of Madam Jiang.

Bo Yuxun raised his eyebrows, deep in his black eyes was like a swirl of black mist, dark and inscrutable.

“Madam is now high-ranking, and Yuxun is just a humble doctor, how dare I be familiar with Madam?”

Jiang Chunlan sighed: “Yuxun, even you are joking with me, I really miss the old times. Back then, you were the little boy following me around calling me sister. In the blink of an eye, you have become a renowned doctor and I’m proud of you.”

“Madam, do you still remember my twin sister?” Bo Yuxun’s chewing muscles slightly bulged, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chunlan’s face.

“She used to love to stick by Madam when she was young.”

Jiang Chunlan’s eyes flickered: “You mean that girl A Jiang. Speaking of which, she is a hard-luck child, but fortunately, her hardship has finally come to an end.”

“The hardship has come to an end?” Bo Yuxun lowered his eyes, suppressed the clouds in his eyes, and a cold smile floated on his lips.

He said it as if it was a casual remark.

“Oh, do you also know this young lady of the Zhu family?” Jiang Chunlan said as if she were chatting idly, her tone didn’t reveal any anomalies.

Bo Yuxun replied indifferently: “I just met her tonight.”

Jiang Chunlan raised her eyebrows: “This girl, is a rare one. Once you meet her, you will never forget.”

Bo Yuxun squinted slightly, he had various rumors about Jiang Chunlan’s high regard for and care of the true heiress of the Zhu family after a few days in Jiangzhou. It seemed that the two must be birds of a feather.

“It’s Uncle Bo. He’s here too.”

Bai Ziyan pulled Qu Feitai intending to go to greet Bo Yuxun.

Qu Feitai shook off his hand: “Didn’t you see Uncle Bo is chatting with Aunt Lan? Why are you so eager to join in?”

Qu Feitai looked at Bo Yuxun: “In my memory, Uncle Bo is a cheerful and smiling sunny boy. How did he change so much?”

Bai Ziyan patted his shoulder: “More than a decade has passed. Even a pig would have been reincarnated seven or eight times, and I feel that Uncle Bo being like this is the most reliable. But with him here, we handsome young men don’t stand a chance. Alas, mature men are the most attractive.”

The girls who were circling around them at the beginning, most of whom must have been attracted to Qu Feitai, had now, like weathercocks, all turned toward Uncle Bo after his appearance.

Bai Ziyan glanced at Jiang Jinchen, who had been silent all this time: “What’s the matter with you recently? You seem absent-minded?”

Jiang Jinchen batted his eyelids, his black pupils exuded a inexplicably cold air, that made Bai Ziyan shiver abruptly.

This kid is getting weirder and weirder.

“Nothing.”

Jiang Jinchen looked at Qu Feitai: “How’s your body after the surgery? I’m sorry, I was busy with a competition during that time and couldn’t manage to visit you.”

Qu Feitai hooked his lip: “I recovered a long time ago.””Well, with a goddess by his side taking care of him, he probably wishes he could buy a bed in the hospital. It’s no wonder his injury is healing so quickly.”

Qu Feitai hit Bai Ziyan with a punch: “Shut up. Nobody would mistake you for a mute if you keep quiet.”

Bai Ziyan clutched his chest in fury: “You really hit me?”

“Alright stop the fuss,” Song Yinzhang grabbed Bai Ziyan, “mind your manners.”

Bai Ziyan huffed, “This boy is sticking his nose way too high in the air.”

Jiang Jinchen’s hand at his side clenched into a tight fist.

Qu Feitai checked his wristwatch, “It’s nearly seven.”

The banquet was about to begin.

——

“Where the hell has that girl gone? She hasn’t been seen all day.”

The banquet was about to start and Zhu Xiangxiang was nowhere to be found.

Lin Qing hadn’t seen her since last night.

The girl had started to stay out all night. With her busy schedule, Lin Qing didn’t have any time to discipline her.

Granny Zhu huffed, “This is the fine daughter you brought up.”

Neither Zhu Xiangxiang nor Zhu Shaodan turned out well under Lin Qing’s care, while Ming Jing and Lin Ya, who were raised outside, were all extremely exemplary.

Granny Zhu thought to herself, fortunately, Ming Jing was raised outside, or else she would’ve been spoiled by Lin Qing too.

Thinking about how unfair it was to Ming Jing, she hurriedly changed her train of thought.

Lin Qing’s face was deathly pale.

Today was the old lady’s birthday, she wouldn’t dare to talk back.

Ming Jing bent down and pinned a beautifully blooming chrysanthemum to Granny Zhu’s chest.

Granny Zhu patted her hand, “Good child, get ready to push me out.”

Ming Jing nodded with a smile.

Lin Ya stood behind Granny Zhu and retreated a step when she heard this, maintaining a low profile with extreme tactfulness.

Li Juan walked into the room. On seeing her, Lin Qing immediately asked, “Did you find her?”

Li Juan shook her head: “Miss Xiangxiang and Master Shaodan left at four in the afternoon. I thought they’d come to the hotel, maybe they’ve gone out to play.”

“Play? These two really lack any sense of propriety. I’ve been too indulgent, haven’t I? I’ve given them too much freedom that they’ve become unaware of their boundaries.” Lin Qing was indignant.

Lin Ya gave Li Juan a sidelong glance, her lips curling up slightly.

This servant was pretty interesting. She heard that Zhu Xiangxiang brought her home. She thought Li Juan was on Zhu Xiangxiang’s side, but those innocent words were actually quite vindictive.

The always silent Zhu Wentao gave a cough: “Alright, it’s time. We’ll discuss the children’s issues later.”

Lin Qing could only swallow her resentment for now, planning to send Zhu Xiangxiang abroad immediately after the banquet; that child was becoming intolerable.

Lin Qing looked at Ming Jing and smiled, “You look beautiful today, you’re your mother’s eternal pride.”

After saying that, she gently patted Ming Jing’s hand. Her eyes were filled with deep affection.

Ming Jing cast her eyes downward, “Madam, I’m sorry.”

After saying this, she pushed Granny Zhu out, leaving Lin Qing behind.

Lin Qing was confused: “What on earth did she mean by ‘sorry’?”

Lin Ya slightly narrowed her eyes; she had a sense that something was amiss.

Lin Qing held Lin Ya’s hand: “Go out there with your Aunt.”

Lin Ya looked touched: “Thank you, Aunt.”

Being Madam Zhu’s niece and Ming Jing’s cousin, the outsiders would respect her more.

Zhu Wentao’s gaze flitted over Lin Ya’s face before he turned around nonchalantly, exiting arm in arm with Lin Qing.

Li Juan stared at the backs of the three people, her gaze mainly fixated on Lin Ya. Subconsciously, she touched her pocket.

“Miss Xiangxiang, you’re so malicious. People who do bad things will get their retribution. Amitofo…Buddha, I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s all because of the bad people. You have to judge fairly.”
