Chapter 38
In a bright banquet hall.
Old Madame Xiao is wearing a bright red traditional Chinese clothing, her jet-black hair is styled neatly.
Mrs Hong comes forward and says her greeting. It’s to implicitly fawn over her: “Old Madame looks very you. You look really young as you get older. Not like us who looks even older.”
Old Madame Mu touches her hair lightly, she laughs: “You are too complimenting.”
Someone comes forward and takes the present from Mrs Hong.
Then Mrs Hong retreats. She walks around the banquet hall to chat with others.
Ye Qing Xin raises her head and looks around calmly and collectedly. She doesn’t notice Jing Bo Yuan’s presence.
There’s a strange feeling inside her heart. She doesn’t know whether to rejoice or be depressed about it.
Mrs Hong is chatting with a jewelry store owner lady. Suddenly she turns her head to see Ye Qing Xin. She notices that Ye Qing Xin seems to be bored. She asks her: “You are very bored?”
Ye Qing Xin shakes her head.
This time there’s someone comes inside the room. Someone says “It’s Old Madame Yan.”
Mrs Hong is full of interest and tells Ye Qing Xin : “Look at the old madame who is held by someone, she is the Old Madame from Yan family…”
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
That old madame seems to be familiar. Is it the old grandma that she helped the day her head was smashed by Tai Shi Yun?
That time she already has a feeling that she should be a rich woman. She didn’t expect her to be a Old Madame from Yan family.
“As for Yan family, it’s a family that has a great estate. Their family business is huge. But it’s pity their company will be pa.s.sed to another family.”
“Pa.s.sed to another family?” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t understand.
Mrs Hong explains: “Yan family’s offspring is too frail. They only have a son in each generation. Yan Xiao only has a daughter, Yan Tong. Then Yan Tong married to Sheng family’s sole heir, Sheng Wen Jun. They joined both the family business. Who knows that suddenly Yan Tong and Sheng Wen Jun were in accident. They were drowned. They needed a month to retrieve their corpse. It’s a pity that their three years old daughter, even couldn’t be found. She is just gone….”
Mrs Hong gasps: “Look at Old Madame Yan’s white hair. I heard that her hair changed just within a day to white. She is so heartbroken because of her only daughter and granddaughter’s miserable death.”
Don’t know but Ye Qing Xin’s heart suddenly turns really sour.
Mrs Hong continues: “Yan family is left without any heir. But that company needs heir right? Old Mister Yan just undertakes his biological sister’s son, Gu Xing De, to be his adopted son. Then after Old Mister Yan and Old Madame Yan both pa.s.s, the company will turn to be Gu company?”
“Sheng family is also no better. Their only heir died unexpectedly. Sheng family was in a chaos for a while. But Sheng Wen Jun has a little sister. So Sheng company will not be pa.s.sed to another family….”
After she says it, Mrs Hong notices two familiar figures.
“Xin Xin, wait for me a while here.”
She says it and goes to that direction.
Ye Qing Xin stands there and notices she is walking toward a middle-aged man, who is wearing deep grey suits, and a beautiful girl.
After a while, Mrs Hong returns back and her face is really sour.
Ye Qing Xin is sensible and doesn’t ask anything.
That man and girl should be Mrs Hong’s husband and little wife.
This time Mrs Hong just tries to smile and calms herself. “Sorry to let you see a joke.”
Ye Qing Xin shakes her head: “I don’t know anything.”
Mrs Hong goes to her seat which is quite far. Ye Qing Xin also follows her to sti down.
Everyone has gathered, but Jing Bo Yuan hasn’t come yet.
Maybe he will not come.
Ye Qing Xin sits down calmly and looked around.
When the party almost starts, suddenly Jing Bo Yuan appears from outside the door.
He is charismatic. Everyone inside the ballroom notices him and greets him “Chief Jing.”
Ye Qing Xin watches at that moment which she thinks like in a movie. She notices that this man is really in high position, it’s too far for her to reach for him.
Jing Bo Yuan shakes hands with so many people and he turns his head toward her.
Ye Qing Xin suddenly is faced to face with his gaze. She is startled for a while. She lowers her head and drinks the water.
