In Nancheng, Su Ning had heard Xu Huanyan play the piano once.
This was the only time she remembered Xu Huanyan's style.
Before even reaching the garden and seeing who was playing the instrument, Su Ning guessed it was her.
When they arrived at the garden, the last note of the zither faded away, and everyone surrounding the girl was applauding.
As the applause subsided, everyone praised Xu Huanyan for her excellent piano playing, and no one noticed Xu Min and Su Ning who had appeared.
"Miss Xu's pianist is playing better and better."
"That's good. Her teacher recommended her to participate in piano competitions in Europe."
Mrs. Xu smiled and mentioned the name of a competition, and the wife who praised Xu Huanyan chimed in, "That's an international award."
"Miss Xu is amazing. Not only is she a great pianist, but she is also the youngest designer in the capital."
Xu Huanyan learned design from Xu Min from a young age and has achieved some success in the industry over the years.
She is Xu Min's niece, and the apple of the eye of both the Xu and Jiang families. This multifaceted identity is truly enviable.
"Madam Xu, you must keep a close eye on such an outstanding daughter and choose a good son-in-law."
Then another lady brought up a different topic.
Most of the people attending Madam Cheng's gathering were ladies from prominent families in the capital. They all had sons around the same age as Xu Huanyan, and they were all craning their necks, hoping to form a marriage alliance with the Xu family.
"Huanyan, she..."
Madam Xu smiled, walked to Xu Huanyan's side, and took her hand in hers.
"I have someone I like!"
"Mother!"
When Xu Huanyan heard Madam Xu say this in front of so many people, she called out to her, and her face instantly turned red.
"Huanyan, everyone here is a family member, so there's nothing to be shy about!"
“Yes,” someone immediately chimed in, picking up where Madam Xu left off. “A young lady should marry when she comes of age. I wonder which young master has caught Miss Xu’s eye.”
They were very curious about who Xu Huanyan had taken a liking to!
Suddenly, someone remembered the rumor that the Xu family intended to form a marriage alliance with the Gu family of Nancheng. On the occasion of Old Master Gu's birthday, Mr. Xu's family went to Nancheng to celebrate Old Master Gu's birthday and became honored guests of the Gu family.
I also heard that Gu Jingchen, who was competing with the Xu family for projects, proposed to cooperate with the Xu family yesterday.
All of this makes people think of Gu Jingchen.
"Yes, Mr. Gu!"
Faced with everyone's speculations, Mrs. Xu smiled but remained silent, neither denying nor denying anything.
Xu Huanyan's face turned even redder, and the two people's attitudes made it clear that this was indeed the case.
"Mr. Gu came to the capital this time for Miss Xu."
"The Gu family is the leading family in Nancheng, and Mr. Gu is young and promising. He and Miss Xu are truly a perfect match."
They went on to praise Xu Huanyan and Gu Jingchen as a good match, but of course, they wouldn't bring up Gu Jingchen's other relationship at this time.
"So, the Xu family is about to hold their wedding banquet."
Another noblewoman asked Madam Xu a question.
Madam Xu turned around with a smile and said to the noblewoman, "I hope so too, but it's hard to say about matters concerning young people."
"The Xu family has a happy occasion, and they will definitely invite you, Mrs. Cheng."
"Then it's settled."
"By the way, Mrs. Cheng, have you decided on the style of jewelry you'd wear for your wedding anniversary?"
This noblewoman is the matriarch of the Cheng family; Madam Xu and Xu Huanyan came specifically for her.
The jewelry Mrs. Cheng wore on her wedding anniversary has yet to be decided.
She was waiting for Xu Min to come back and design it.
Xu Min was too busy, and she waited and waited until now.
