"Please forgive my friend if he accidentally offended you just now. However, this young lady looks unfamiliar. May I ask which family she belongs to?"
Lian Chuchu spoke these words gently and politely. Xu Yao glanced at her, but before she could speak, she heard Lian Chuchu speak to her again with a broad smile:
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am a child of the Lian family, and my name is Lian Chuchu."
Xu Yao glanced at her in surprise, so this was a child from the Lian family, one of the four great families in the capital.
He seemed approachable and genuinely a nice person, so Xu Yao's expression softened. She smiled at Lian Chuchu and extended her hand, saying:
"I am Yue..."
At this point, Xu Yao paused. If she spoke of Yuecheng, these people would only see her as an outsider, but in the capital, she was indeed Grandpa Shen's goddaughter. So she began:
"The old man of the Shen family is my godfather."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people opposite him showed expressions of astonishment. The one named Wenwen covered her mouth and asked:
"The Shen family of Beijing?"
Xu Yao glanced at her and nodded.
This was enough to astonish the group, and even Chu Chu couldn't help but take a second look at Xu Yao.
The Shen family is the head of the four great families, but they are too low-key. They have only heard of the Shen family’s reputation, but have never met any of the Shen family members.
Although this girl is Mr. Shen's goddaughter, she is not to be underestimated.
For everyone present, being able to climb up to the Shen family was a pipe dream.
Even the Lian family can only look up to the Shen family, who are high above them, and can't even get in touch with them.
The thought of getting to know the Shen family made Lian Chuchu excited. This meant that she would definitely be seen as a very capable person by her father, Lin Feifan, and Gu Ying.
He walked over enthusiastically and took Xu Yao's hand, "You look younger than me, can I call you little sister? I don't even know what your little sister's name is?"
Xu Yao didn't feel embarrassed at all. In fact, being treated like this by the Lian family's young lady gave her a sense of superiority. Most importantly, she didn't expect the Shen family to be so useful.
She was just a goddaughter, yet she was treated like this by these girls.
"My name is Xu Yao, you can call me Yao Yao, and I'll call you Sister Chu Chu."
Holding Lian Chuchu's hand in return, Xu Yao smiled and said something.
Lian Chuchu said gently, "Okay, Yao Yao, come with us."
Xu Yao felt that she had found a group of people. She didn't expect the young lady of the Lian family to be so easy to get along with. She was sure that her grandfather and brother would be willing to associate with the Lian family.
"Yaoyao, what's the situation with the Shen family? We've never met anyone from the Shen family before."
As soon as they found a place to sit, the girls excitedly surrounded Xu Yao, asking her about the Shen family.
Xu Yao felt that this was the right way for her to live in Yuecheng, and she didn't expect that it would be the same in the capital.
"There's nothing special about it, just my Grandpa Shen and Brother Shen."
Xu Yao deliberately avoided mentioning Nan Zhi. In her eyes, Nan Zhi's status was simply beneath her. How could she possibly marry Shen Xingmian? No matter what, she was determined to make Nan Zhi face reality.
Upon hearing this, the girls were even more surprised. "Wow, you've met them before? I don't even know their names!"
"The Shen family is legendary in the capital. They used to be on par with other families, but I heard that their young master is incredibly powerful. I think his name is Shen Xingmian. I know his name, but I've never met him."
“My uncle met him once and introduced my cousin to him, but my cousin was terrified in the end. I don’t know how ugly Shen Xingmian is.”
Xu Yao was quite surprised to hear the girls' discussion.
I don't understand why the Shen family doesn't come out and assert their authority, since so many people don't even recognize Shen Xingmian.
Even Chu Chu didn't organize the discussion; these were things she was curious about as well.
"Yaoyao, I haven't asked you yet, where are you from? What do you do?"
Lian Chuchu held Xu Yao's hand with a gentle smile on her lips, giving Xu Yao the feeling that this was her "older sister," which increased Xu Yao's liking for Lian Chuchu even more.
She grabbed Lian Chuchu's arm familiarly and pouted, saying, "Sister Chuchu, don't be disgusted by me when I tell you."
Lian Chuchu was taken aback, then helplessly touched her hair, which looked just like her older sister's.
"How could that be? No matter who you are from, since Sister Chuchu has accepted you as her younger sister, you can come and play with me anytime."
Xu Yao chuckled and then said, "I'm from Yuecheng, and my family is the Xu family of Yuecheng."
Lian Chuchu had never heard of the Xu family, but Yuecheng was indeed a pretty good city.
"Yuecheng, that's a great place. If I ever go there, Yaoyao, you have to treat me!"
Xu Yao nodded obediently, "Sister Chu Chu, don't worry, as long as you come, I will definitely treat you well."
"The Xu family of Yuecheng?"
The girl next to her muttered something, then suddenly widened her eyes, "You're actually from the Xu family of Yuecheng? In Yuecheng, the Xu family is the head of the household."
The girl's maternal grandfather was from Yuecheng, so she had heard of the Xu family.
Then she explained the Xu family to her other bewildered friends. After hearing this, the others immediately realized that Xu Yao had a really good background. In the capital, she was associated with the Shen family, and in Yuecheng, she was also associated with the Xu family.
Looking at it this way, she's undoubtedly the envy of everyone.
Xu Yao hadn't expected that people from the capital would know about the Xu family of Yuecheng. Facing their envious and jealous gazes, Xu Yao smiled modestly and said:
"Actually, I'm not that great. I'm just a freeloader at home."
"I also want to be a parasite like that, but I don't have a good background."
This is everyone's true thought at this moment, and even Chu Chujue's decision is an unexpected gain.
"Yaoyao, is your family really that amazing? I'm getting jealous."
Even Chu Chu couldn't help but tease her, and Xu Yao was naturally pleased, quickly replying:
"I envy you, Sister Chuchu, for being a child of the Lian family."
In short, the two were of similar status and got along very well, even feeling a sense of mutual appreciation as if they had known each other for a long time.
This only shows that birds of a feather flock together.
Xu Yao and Lian Chuchu are practically the same kind of people. Xu Yao has always been arrogant and aloof, as can be seen from the time Nan Zhi visited the Xu family. She always showed her superiority in front of Nan Zhi, but in front of Xu Lao, Xu Jingzhi and others, she was just a simple, ignorant, and mischievous child, and she used this to annoy Nan Zhi.
Lian Chuchu, under the guise of doing what's best for you, speaks up for you in every way, and before you know it, you've been pushed into the eye of the storm by her.
Therefore, the two are truly birds of a feather.
It's not surprising that they ended up together.
