Chapter 230 Heavenly Domain's Girlfriend
While the group was still discussing the exquisite jadeite that Du Yihuan had never seen before, Mrs. Jiang, sitting next to Mrs. Feng, immediately took a liking to the jade bracelet on Mrs. Feng's wrist.
"Mrs. Feng, is this bracelet on your wrist a new one? It looks really beautiful."
As soon as Mrs. Jiang spoke, she immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Yes, this jade bracelet is really beautiful. I've never seen Mrs. Feng wear it before. It must be a new one she bought recently, right?"
Mrs. Jiang, who spoke earlier, comes from a family of jewelers and is very sensitive to these kinds of jewelry.
That's why Feng's mother specially arranged for her to sit next to her, so that she could see her new jewelry as soon as possible and show it off to everyone.
Clearly, Mrs. Jiang did not disappoint Madam Feng's expectations; she noticed the bracelet as soon as it was revealed.
"If I'm not mistaken, the bracelet on Mrs. Feng's wrist should be the most precious imperial jadeite of the glass type. It's crystal clear, brightly colored, and fluorescent to the naked eye. As far as the eye can see, there isn't a single crack or impurity. This is the first time I've ever seen such a noble and elegant full-green glass type jadeite. Mrs. Feng, this bracelet of yours must be quite expensive, right?"
Hearing her question, Feng's mother's smile deepened, and she said with feigned modesty, "I liked the little gift from the younger generation, so I took it out to wear. I didn't ask how much it was worth, but it's the child's good intentions, which is more precious than anything else."
Everyone was slightly surprised to hear her say this, because Mrs. Feng rarely boasted about her children to others. After all, even without boasting, her children were obviously outstanding.
"So it was a gift from Young Master Feng. No wonder Mrs. Feng likes it so much."
"Yes, that's right. Such a beautiful bracelet. You can tell it must have taken a lot of effort to find it. With such a well-behaved daughter and such a filial son, Mrs. Feng is truly blessed."
Everyone present was very supportive; regardless of what they thought, they didn't miss a single word of flattery.
After listening to everyone's explanation with a faint smile, Madam Feng said quietly, "It wasn't sent by Tianyu."
"It wasn't given by Young Master Feng? Then it was..."
"She's Tianyu's girlfriend."
Mother Feng's words were like a bombshell, silencing the chattering crowd.
It took a while for someone to react: "Young Master Feng has a girlfriend?"
"They just started dating recently, the young couple has a good relationship, and Tianyu likes them very much."
These few words contain a lot of information.
Although the relationship was recently discussed, it was not a business marriage, but rather a free-choice marriage based on Feng Tianyu's own choice.
From the tone of Feng's mother's voice when she talked about the girl, it was clear that she, as the future mother-in-law, was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
What does this mean? It means that this girl has won over both the Feng family mother and son, and becoming the young mistress of the Feng family is practically a done deal.
Fan Zhiying and Feng's mother were college classmates and best friends, and their relationship was better than that of many others present.
At first, she was puzzled. Her friend clearly didn't like the wives of the Yuan and Li families, so why were they invited to this gathering?
Now, hearing Feng's mother talk about her future daughter-in-law, Fan Zhiying suddenly realized what was going on and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Li sitting opposite her.
Sure enough, their faces were ashen. If it weren't for the presence of so many wealthy women, they probably would have already gotten up and left.
Fan Zhiying almost burst out laughing, yet she also felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Because of her close friendship with Feng's mother, Fan Zhiying also knew some things about the Feng family.
Feng Tianyu's health was fine in his earlier years, but in recent years, some rumors that were detrimental to him have been circulating.
Everyone knows perfectly well how these rumors started.
But as the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," and as rumors spread, many people inevitably develop a grudge.
Among the wealthy women present, many had daughters and had considered Feng Tianyu, but because he didn't reciprocate their feelings and there were rumors circulating, they gradually gave up on the idea.
Only the Yuan and Li families, the more the rumors spread, the more they wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Feng family.
The Feng family knew perfectly well what was going on behind the scenes.
Now, her friend is publicly mentioning her son's girlfriend in front of so many people, and her words reveal a lot of affection for her. It's obvious that she's trying to protect her future daughter-in-law and warn some people not to have any improper thoughts.
If these two had any sense at all, they should have known when to back down; otherwise…
"You kept such a big deal as Tianyu getting a girlfriend a secret from me. When are you going to call her out? So we can see what kind of celestial beauty could make our young master Feng's heart flutter."
Madam Feng exchanged a glance with Fan Zhiying and smiled slightly, "Tianyu is very protective of his son and doesn't like us old folks disturbing their time together. They'll have their chance after a while, once they've had their fill of fun outside."
After having enough fun outside, shouldn't it be time to go home?
Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Li's faces grew increasingly grim, but Mrs. Jiang, standing to the side, paid no attention to them and subtly steered the conversation back to the jade bracelet belonging to Mama Feng.
“A few days ago, my good-for-nothing son went abroad with some people to gamble on jade. He was lucky and spent over a million yuan to get a piece of glass-type jade the size of a pigeon egg. Someone there wanted to buy it from him for ten million yuan, but he refused. He brought it back and made a necklace for me. I treasured it like the back of my hand and kept it all this time, reluctant to wear it. But when I see Mrs. Feng’s bracelet today, I realize how insignificant it is compared to this.”
Mrs. Jiang's words not only showed off her son's filial piety but also subtly implied that the bracelet belonging to Mrs. Feng was quite valuable.
Someone was willing to spend ten million to buy her necklace, so Feng's mother's bracelet would be worth no less.
Her future daughter-in-law is probably no ordinary person; she can afford to spend so much money to give her such a gift.
Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "I remember Mrs. Jiang's son just turned eighteen this year, right? He's only just come of age and he already has such ambition. Given time, he'll definitely achieve great things."
"He was just lucky. He just played around with his grandfather since he was little. How could he become successful because of that?"
"Good luck is also a form of ability, so please don't be modest."
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Feng skillfully complimented each other, and the other ladies were not to be outdone, praising other people's children while also showing off their own sons.
Only Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Li remained mostly silent throughout the entire event, and when the banquet ended, they hurriedly took their leave without looking back.
As she watched the two figures disappear into the distance, Madam Feng stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist with a contented smile.
They knew that in just a few days, all the upper-class families in City A would know that their Tianyu had been taken!
