Jiang Xinyue stared at Chu Yu blankly, as if frozen, motionless and silent.
Because most of the sounds in the living room just now were her talking and laughing, she was stunned at this moment, and the air suddenly became quiet for a while, which seemed a little abrupt.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Xinyue, and then on Chu Yu.
A few seconds later, Chu Jindong was the first to break the stagnant atmosphere with a smile: "Xinyue, what's wrong? I haven't seen your brother in so many years, I don't recognize him."
Because Jiang Man loves Jiang Xinyue as if she were his own daughter, Chu Jindong naturally treats Jiang Xinyue as his own daughter as well. He even devotes much more effort to this adopted daughter than to Chu Yu, and the father-daughter relationship is very close.
Jiang Xinyue finally came back to her senses and quickly laughed, "Yes, yes! The last time I saw my brother, I was less than ten years old. He must have been only thirteen or fourteen at the time. More than ten years have passed, and I can't recognize him at all! I was stunned just now!"
As she spoke, she flew up lightly like a butterfly and greeted Chu Yu.
"Brother, it's been years since we last met. You've changed so much. When you walked in, I thought you were some big star visiting our house!"
Chu Yu just nodded lightly.
When he was a child, he didn't like Jiang Xinyue. He felt that his parents only loved Jiang Xinyue and didn't care about him at all. Now that he has grown up, he doesn't care anymore, but he still doesn't have a good impression of Jiang Xinyue.
We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we haven't had any interaction. We are just strangers. How can she be so familiar with me? She keeps calling me brother.
But Jiang Xinyue didn't seem to care about Chu Yu's indifference at all, and continued to talk to Chu Yu enthusiastically: "Brother, today is the first time our family has been reunited in more than ten years. It's really rare. But I graduated from Harvard University, and I will probably stay in China more often in the future..."
He didn't notice Lin Feiran behind Chu Yu at all.
Old Master Chu frowned slightly as he watched, then interrupted Jiang Xinyue and introduced, "Xinyue, this is your sister-in-law, Lin Feiran, Yuanyuan's mother. She's a jewelry designer. She and Chu Yu got married three years ago, and they're planning to hold their wedding and make it public."
Jiang Xinyue seemed to have only Chu Yu in her eyes just now, and only then did she notice Lin Feiran's existence.
She looked at Lin Feiran, her expression changed slightly, and she was stiff for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He was as enthusiastic towards Lin Feiran as he was towards Chu Yu, and he immediately held Lin Feiran's hand.
"So this is the sister-in-law Grandpa has been talking about! She's so beautiful! Grandpa said you and brother are destined to be together! Now that you're together, it's finally complete! She's also a jewelry designer, so amazing! Where can I buy her work?"
Lin Feiran was a little confused for a moment and couldn't withstand Jiang Xinyue's enthusiasm.
Chu Yu's attitude towards Jiang Xinyue was cold, and their relationship was obviously average, so she didn't know how to deal with Jiang Xinyue.
I could only smile perfunctorily and said, "...You don't have to buy it. If Xinyue likes jewelry, I'll give you a few more someday. They're not expensive jewels, though, so I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Xinyue was overjoyed: "How could I possibly dislike it? I like everything my sister-in-law gives me!"
Then he pulled Lin Feiran over, chattering non-stop as if they had known each other for a long time.
She was very good at talking. She didn't ask about Lin Feiran's sensitive or embarrassing matters. She only talked about common topics between girls, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Chu Jindong looked very happy: "I didn't expect Xinyue to get along so well with her sister-in-law. She has been abroad for so many years and has become estranged from her grandfather and brother at home. She must cultivate a good relationship with him when she comes back!"
Jiang Man didn't respond, but just looked at Jiang Xinyue with a deep and thoughtful gaze, no one knew what she was thinking.
Jiang Xinyue chatted with Lin Feiran for a long time, and then went to play with Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan was not afraid of strangers, and this beautiful aunt was always smiling and very enthusiastic, so she had a good time playing with Jiang Xinyue.
Old Master Chu originally had no good feelings towards Jiang Xinyue, for the same reason as Chu Yu. Chu Jindong and his wife only loved their adopted daughter Jiang Xinyue, but ignored their biological son Chu Yu, which made him very unhappy.
However, now seeing Jiang Xinyue so lively and cute, full of energy, she alone has made the atmosphere of the whole house lively and bright. This is something that Chu Yu, that bastard, has never been able to do.
As he got older, he loved seeing this kind of lively scene. Even at this point, he had to admit that this granddaughter, who was not his biological granddaughter, was indeed lovable.
The family had dinner together. Chu Yu did not stay long. After dinner, he took Lin Feiran away. Little Yuanyuan was still ruthlessly left in the Chu family's old house.
Lin Feiran was also eager to leave. She really couldn't get along with a super lively and proactive girl like Jiang Xinyue. After a whole night, her face was almost stiff from smiling.
Moreover, she had a vaguely strange feeling towards Jiang Xinyue. Jiang Xinyue was only her sister-in-law, not a blood relative. They had never met before, and this was their first meeting. He seemed to be a little too enthusiastic towards her.
Maybe she is not a particularly extroverted person and is naturally unable to understand this kind of familiarity.
On the way back to Moonlight Villa, Lin Feiran asked Chu Yu: "Has Xinyue always had this personality since she was a child?"
Chu Yu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know much about her. But you don't have to worry about her, it won't have any impact on us, and mother probably won't let her get too close to us."
Lin Feiran didn't take it too seriously. Her wedding was just a few days away, and this was the most important thing for her.
However, she agreed to give Jiang Xinyue jewelry. Although she felt that Jiang Xinyue was deeply loved by Jiang Man and did not seem to need jewelry at all, she still had to keep her word. So she selected several of the most expensive jewelry pieces from the "Li Fei" brand that she designed herself, and found a time to send them to Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Man and Chu Jindong had already moved out of the Chu family's old house and lived in their own villa, but Jiang Xinyue still lived in the Chu family's old house. She said that she had been abroad for many years and had not fulfilled her filial duties as a granddaughter, so now she wanted to spend more time with Old Man Chu.
Mr. Chu also acquiesced to her.
