Chapter 438: My Wife is Being Noticed
Chu Lingfeng glanced at Mu Ying and spoke in a slower tone, "Let's talk about it later, okay."
Mu Ying nodded, stood up, and silently stepped aside.
Jiuyao followed Gu Hanye to the reception room where Mr. Zhong was.
Mr. Zhong was wearing a brown-red Tang suit, his hair was slightly gray, but his face was rosy, his voice was like a bell, and he was quite impressive.
A woman in a white wrap dress was sitting on the sofa opposite Mr. Zhong. She had an elegant demeanor and a clear laugh.
When Jiuyao and Gu Hanye entered, the woman was discussing a piece of porcelain on the coffee table with Mr. Zhong. The porcelain seemed to be a gift that someone had just sent.
When Elder Zhong saw Gu Hanye and Su Jiuyao, he immediately smiled and said, "Come on, Hanye and Jiuyao, come and sit down."
Su Jiuyao didn't expect that Mr. Zhong remembered her name so clearly, so she and Gu Hanye greeted Mr. Zhong together.
Mr. Zhong smiled and nodded, and at the same time looked at Jiuyao again.
Gu Hanye couldn't help but hold Jiuyao's hand tightly.
Mr. Zhong is an upright man, so Gu Hanye is certainly not worried about anything else. He just feels that Mr. Zhong pays too much attention to Jiuyao. From the invitation before the banquet to sending someone to invite them over just now, everything seems unusual.
Originally, Gu Hanye wanted to make friends with Mr. Zhong, but now it seems that Mr. Zhong wants to get to know Jiuyao.
Gu Hanye felt a little uneasy because he didn't know the other party's purpose.
When the woman saw Jiuyao and Gu Hanye come in, she smiled and moved over to let them sit down. She then looked at Su Jiuyao, quickly sized her up and down, and said, "Would you like to introduce Hanye?"
"My wife, Su Jiuyao," he said, looking at Jiuyao, "Yaoyao, this is Mr. Zhong, and this is the third daughter of the Zhong family, Zhong Ying."
Su Jiuyao greeted both of them one by one.
Before coming to the banquet, she did some research on the Zhong family. She knew that Mr. Zhong had two sons and had always wanted a daughter. However, at that time, Mr. Zhong's wife was no longer physically fit for childbearing, so the two of them simply adopted one, the one in front of them.
I heard that although Miss Zhong was not Mr. Zhong's biological daughter, her personality was indeed the closest to Mr. Zhong's. She had a delicate mind, was very intelligent, and acted decisively, making her the old man's favorite.
Hearing is not as good as believing. Only when Su Jiuyao saw Miss Zhong in person did she feel that she was indeed a woman of extraordinary temperament.
Zhong Ying smiled and said, "I've heard that Han Ye married a clever little wife who's well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and can even appreciate antiques. Why don't we ask Jiuyao to appraise this little vase for you, old man? Is it real or fake?"
Zhong Ying said this, picking up the vase and handing it to Jiuyao.
Jiuyao quickly took it with both hands, actually wanting to say that she didn’t quite understand.
After all, appraising treasures for her on the first meeting was a compliment or a test for her?
She didn't know what level of experts they were. If she said too much, it would seem like she was showing off her knowledge before an expert. If she said too little, it would seem like she was being deliberately coy.
As soon as Gu Hanye saw Jiuyao's expression, he knew she could discern something. However, seeing that she was cautious and hesitant, he guessed that she was not sure how to judge the situation. So he smiled and comforted her, saying, "It's okay. Just tell me what you know. Even if you are wrong, Master Zhong won't blame you."
Mr. Zhong laughed heartily: "That's natural. I'm just appreciating it for fun. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong."
Hearing what Mr. Zhong said, Su Jiuyao was no longer reserved. She also liked to study these things anyway, so she just told the truth.
"Okay, then I'll appreciate it."
While Jiuyao was observing the bottle, Mr. Zhong was also observing her.
She was indeed a dignified and decent girl with a good appearance. Thinking of her good deeds in the past, Zhong Jingan admired this girl from the bottom of his heart. No wonder her youngest son had been thinking about her for so many years. No matter how many good girls he introduced to him, he never even took a second look.
But Zhong Jingan also saw that Gu Hanye valued her very much, and she also had deep feelings for Gu Hanye.
Alas, it seems that my son’s infatuation with the girl will be difficult to fulfill.
That's fine.
He never approved of stealing someone else's wife, and he just hoped that his son would wake up soon and stop waiting foolishly.
