The old lady looked over, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Of course not. I wasn't this pretty when I was young. She's my cousin, and she's been a beauty since she was little."

"You are a beauty now, and all of you sisters are beauties," Ye Qingqing praised sincerely.

Although the old lady had a full head of white hair and a face full of wrinkles, her elegant, dignified and generous temperament only grew stronger with the passage of time. Her demeanor was incomparable to that of today's so-called socialites.

The old lady and her cousin, that's the real style of a socialite!

"Hahaha, you little girl have such a sweet tongue. I was alright when I was young, but my cousin was a famous beauty. She especially loved wearing red dresses, just like you." The old lady had been feeling sleepy, but she perked up immediately when she talked about her cousin.

Ye Qingqing said shyly, "I'm not as pretty as your cousin. She's so delicate. I'm just a wild girl."

The girl in the photo looks like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family. She has delicate features and a noble and elegant temperament, like a flower bud about to bloom in a crystal vase, making her all the more endearing.

While she could be considered a beauty, she was at best a wildflower swaying in the wind on a hillside!

The old lady sighed and said sadly, "It's good to be a wild girl. Girls should have a wild side so they won't be bullied. You're a good girl, don't try to act like a young lady!"

If Nianci had possessed half the strength and wildness of Qingqing, her life... might have been much smoother, and she wouldn't have met such a tragic end!

Ye Qingqing was stunned. She sensed the old lady's deep sorrow and could guess without asking that the beautiful girl in the photo must be having a very bad time, and might even be no longer alive!

"I couldn't learn it even if I wanted to. Miss likes playing the zither, reciting poetry, and appreciating flowers, while I like eating meat and counting money. I'm just a vulgar person, hahaha..."

Ye Qingqing teased herself, which amused the old lady, who laughed heartily, "I also like to eat meat and count money. That's how life should be to be interesting! Playing the zither, reciting poems, and appreciating flowers can't fill your stomach!"

"Yes, if I have money, I'll buy meat to eat. If I have too much money, I'll save it to buy a house. My goal is to become a landlady and count money until my hands cramp!"

Ye Qingqing spoke in a serious tone, and the old lady laughed until tears streamed down her face. Xiao Li quickly massaged her back and shoulders, afraid that the old lady would choke.

But Xiao Li was very happy. The old lady hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time. Miss Ye was really good at making the old lady laugh so much as soon as she arrived.

Lu Mo's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with warmth.

This girl is a source of joy wherever she goes, always bringing happiness to others, just like a ray of sunshine.

Ye Qingqing took Lu Mo home, and without even having lunch, she hurriedly took Ye Tong home. They were going to transfer their household registration that afternoon!

There was an extra person at the Lu family's lunch; it was He Weishao, Lu Mo's good brother.

He Weishao was of medium height, half a head shorter than Lu Mo. He was thin and handsome, always wearing a warm smile. He was also very eloquent, able to chat with strangers he had just met and even dig up their ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Where's your little wife? Didn't she say she was here every day? I've come several times and haven't seen her once. Is she deliberately avoiding me?"

He Weishao, carrying a bag, looked around as soon as he entered the room. Not seeing any pretty young girls, he teased his friend.
