Chapter 129: A New Look
Su Jinhui smiled without saying anything and did not continue to answer Wu Xue's words.
But the other ladies sitting next to her, including the elders of the Yan family, all understood clearly the examples Su Jinhui had given.
Although it was a light-hearted piano piece, Su Jinhui was able to elevate it to such a professional and serious level, leaving those rich young ladies who were jokingly praising her speechless.
Because of the professionalism displayed by Su Jinhui, everyone present suddenly looked at Su Jinhui with admiration, especially the strict father, who inadvertently looked at Su Jinhui for a few seconds.
Could it be that a little girl like this has really lived in the countryside for more than ten years?
I always feel that what Su Jinhui shows is not her true self.
Wu Xue was so angry that she could only watch as all the limelight was snatched away by Su Jinhui. She snorted coldly and sat next to Song Jia indignantly.
Yan's mother didn't say anything. Although Su Jinhui's performance today was indeed unexpected, she still looked down on Su Jinhui's background in her heart.
For her, even if the two families had an engagement, the Su family was still a capitalist family at that time.
Yan Li'an should have married the eldest daughter of a capitalist, but the Su family was in trouble now, and Su Jinhui was still a girl who grew up in the countryside. If this got out, it would be ridiculous that their son, who was raised in Kyoto, was going to marry a country bumpkin.
"Miss Song and Miss Wu performed very well just now. The meridian map that Su Jinhui drew was also very good. After all, today is just a pressure test for the Yan family. Everyone, don't be shy. Let's eat first."
In the end, it was the strict father who spoke first and came out to smooth things over, preventing the atmosphere from becoming so awkward.
Su Jinhui picked up the teacup, pursed her lips, and her eyes curved with a smile.
After the family dinner ended, Yan's mother sent away the other guests who had attended the dinner.
Only Su Jinhui stayed. "Jinhui, it's a rare occasion for you to visit me today, so why don't you stay here? You and Li'an are engaged anyway, so we're family anyway. You can stay here and wait for Li'an to come back. He's in Kyoto right now, carrying out a mission, and hasn't been able to join you yet."
"But we still have a guest room for you to stay in. It's much more reassuring to live in your own home."
Although the strict father said this, many people were looking at Su Jinhui.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I'm already living in the guesthouse arranged for me by my superiors. It's quite comfortable for me to live there. Besides, I'm usually busy with work, so it's not very convenient for me to go in and out. Besides, Yan Li'an knew in advance that I came to the Kyoto Faction, and Xiao Gao can help me solve a lot of problems by accompanying me."
"I'll wait until he joins me in Kyoto before discussing this. There's no rush."
"Anyway, I'm in Kyoto. If my uncle and aunt need to talk to me about anything, just send someone to let me know."
Su Jinhui rejected her strict father's suggestion that she live at home, which was quite impressive. People originally thought that a woman from the countryside like Su Jinhui would be eager to stay here.
She refused, but instead made some elders of the Yan family more relaxed in their polite attitude towards Su Jinhui.
"Okay, since you've already said that, I won't force you to live here. If anything happens, I'll send someone to pick you up home."
"Xiao Gao, then you can take Su Jinhui back to the guesthouse first. By the way, my family has prepared some small gifts for you, so you can take them back too."
As soon as Yan's father finished speaking, the servant of the Yan family brought the gift prepared in advance to Su Jinhui and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt. I will go back first."
After receiving the gift, Su Jinhui and Xiao Gao turned around and left.
As soon as she left, discussions about Su Jinhui were heard in the living room.
Especially the third uncle who had just praised Su Jinhui's meridian map, when he talked about Su Jinhui, his praise was endless.
"Su Jinhui is the attending physician of the island military region. For a woman of her age to achieve this, she must have worked very hard. She's not an easy girl."
"And she wasn't at all nervous in front of so many ladies from Kyoto. If she hadn't mentioned that she had spent so much time in the countryside, no one would have thought she grew up there."
"I think Su Jinhui's talent, courage, and pragmatism are quite impressive. There is absolutely no problem with her engagement with Li An."
After hearing what Uncle San said, Yan's mother looked a little unhappy. Although she didn't say anything, her face revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Everyone is pretending. She might have already investigated some of our family rules with Li An and is just trying to please him."
"If you want to see what she wants you to see, you can just pretend and you will know. You need to spend more time with her to know what kind of person she is. You can only know a person's heart through his appearance. If you jump to conclusions now and really get deceived by her in the future, I can see how you will cry."
Everyone saw that Yan's mother seemed not very satisfied with Su Jinhui, and everyone felt helpless, but after all, Yan Li'an was her biological son.
The mother is not satisfied, and the elders cannot say anything unpleasant.
"I think Su Jinhui's attitude of neither servility nor arrogance doesn't seem fake. This girl has some character, and I'm quite satisfied with it."
"After Yan Li'an comes back, we can discuss their marriage separately. There's no need to rush."
"She has just returned to Kyoto and met with us. There is still a long time to go. We can slowly test this girl. Don't be so decisive about everything."
The strict father looked at the strict mother meaningfully and said.
The whole living room was filled with admiration for Su Jinhui, and it was Yan's mother who became the one who was out of place. She glared at Yan's father, she really didn't know how Yan could have such a high opinion of Su Jinhui just by seeing her once.
Mother Yan pursed her lips. Although Su Jinhui's performance just now was indeed beyond words, she always felt that a girl from the countryside should not behave like this. She must be pretending.
She doesn't like the feeling of not being able to control things. She seems to be so good now, but who knows if she will do something out of line in the future.
"She does have some character, but I still think she's not as good as Song Jia and Wu Xue, who at least grew up in Kyoto. Women like them still have excellent character."
The other elders remained silent, and the younger generations were curious and admired Su Jinhui's performance just now. However, some of them were jealous, always feeling that they were outdone by a little girl from the country.
If she really marries Yan Li'an in the future, will she have a different look?
