Chapter 682: Truth and Lies 2
Xia Yinian walked in the jasmine forest, looking left and right, like a happy little bird.Waves of jasmine fragrance enveloped her, a truly delightful sensation.
The two people on the path, gazing at the fairy in the midst of jasmine flowers, were momentarily startled.
Not just the Old Master, even Feng Rui felt that this girl bore a striking resemblance to the late Madam.
Her appearance, demeanor, actions, there was no sense of discordance.
However, since the young miss had been found, no matter how similar this girl appeared, she was just someone else’s child.
"Old Master." Feng Rui walked over and gently patted the Old Master’s shoulder.
The Old Master raised his large palm, indicating that he was alright.
Assured that he was fine, Feng Rui stood behind him, not uttering another word.
The Old Master couldn’t be agitated now; Feng Rui was worried that he’d be reminded of the Old Madam and fall ill again.
Xia Yinian made a circle in the jasmine forest before returning.
"Grandpa, sorry! The fragrance of the jasmine is so intoxicating, seeing it in full bloom, I couldn’t contain myself."
Xia Yinian became excited, then turned serious.
"Right, where did we leave off in our conversation?" She pushed the wheelchair slowly past the jasmine grove.
"Just now, Grandpa was saying that he wants to pass on his secret family recipe to you," the Old Master said softly.
"What?" Xia Yinian blinked, her steps paused for a moment before she continued forward.
"Nian Nian doesn’t take unearned rewards; Grandpa, as long as you can pass on the knowledge from your handwritten manual to me, I’ll be so happy I won’t be able to sleep for days and nights."
"The secret family recipe should be left to Grandpa’s own descendants."
The secret family recipe of the Old Master Feng, who wouldn’t want it? But Xia Yinian was very clear on her status.
"Nian Nian is Grandpa’s good granddaughter, isn’t she?" The Old Master Feng’s mood seemed to turn a bit sour.
Realizing her mistake, Xia Yinian immediately explained, "Of course, Nian Nian is Grandpa’s granddaughter, but since Nian Nian doesn’t carry the Feng surname, how could I..."
"If Grandpa says it’s okay, then who dares to say it’s not?" Old Master Feng huffed.
"Grandpa is mighty! Take care of your health!" Xia Yinian dared not refuse any further; unsettling the Old Master to the point he gets a heart attack would not be worth it.
"Nian Nian is obedient, Grandpa can always be mighty."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
...
At Feng Group, eight women had been waiting in the reception room for an hour and were already getting impatient.
"Sister Meimei, is Xia Chuxue trying to play us?" The woman sitting beside Wan Meimei spoke up for who knows how many times.
"Haven’t I said to keep waiting? What’s the rush?" Wan Meimei raised an eyebrow, her gaze remained fixed on her phone screen.
Of course, she did not wish for the Third Young Master of Feng Family to show up. If he did, wouldn’t that imply his unusual relationship with Xia Chuxue?
She hadn’t made her move yet, since when was it Xia Chuxue’s turn?
Xia Chuxue had been pacing back and forth in another reception room. Seeing the responsible receptionist approaching, she immediately walked out.
"How is it? Has Brother Yan not finished the meeting yet?" Xia Chuxue said indifferently.
There was no need to pretend when it was just the two of them, especially since the other was a woman who did not respect her.
"Not yet," the woman replied softly. "As I said, without an appointment, it is very hard to see the Third Young Master."
"You didn’t tell him I’m here, did you? I’m Chuxue, have you mentioned it or not?"
Xia Chuxue refused to believe that Brother Yan, knowing it was her, wouldn’t come to take even a glance.
