Chapter 257 Met an acquaintance
Guo Lingyue choked, her face turned pale, and she looked at her man Xiao Jinchen for help.
Xiao Jinchen was also looking at Chen Xinyue at this moment.
Putting aside other things, just judging from her appearance, temperament and behavior, this woman is qualified.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and greeted with a smile, "Second brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, please sit down!"
Xiao Jinlin hummed softly, and took Chen Xinyue's hand to Mr. and Madam Xiao.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm here. This is Xinyue. Xinyue, these are my grandpa and grandma."
Chen Xinyue hurriedly and obediently called for help.
She is good-looking, with a pair of bright eyes and curved eyebrows when she smiles, which makes people feel good about her.
Madam Xiao had a good first impression of her, so she quickly pulled her to sit down beside her and looked at her carefully, "Child, how old are you?"
"I will be twenty-five after the Chinese New Year, so I am actually twenty-four."
"Wow! This age is really suitable!"
Mu Qinglian quickly said, "Mom, Su Su is also 25, the same age.
Madam Xiao's smile obviously faded a lot. She glanced at the woman named Su Su and nodded perfunctorily.
Mu Qinglian felt a little embarrassed, and quickly tried to make amends, "Mom, this Su Su is Lingyue's best friend, and she comes from a wealthy family, so there will be no problem getting along with her."
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Since we are best friends, can't we get along well?" Xiao Qiuyu rolled her eyes and choked.
It wasn't that he was intentionally helping Xiao Jinlin, it was simply because he didn't get along with Mu Qinglian and wanted to make things difficult for her.
Mu Qinglian was furious. She glared at Xiao Qiuyu and pointed her finger at Xiao Jinlin. "What's wrong with you? You brought people here for such an important occasion today without informing us! Are you sincere?"
"My grandson can take whoever he wants with him. If you are angry, go vent it on someone else!" Old Madam Xiao was unhappy to see her precious grandson being scolded.
Mu Qinglian hurriedly explained, "Mom! I didn't mean that! You know, the second child has been independent since he was young. He would go west if you told him to go east. He just wouldn't listen to advice. This mall is very chaotic, with all kinds of messy women. If you're not careful, you'll be tricked. I'm worried about him!"
This clearly means that Chen Xinyue approached Xiao Jinlin for ulterior motives and looked down on her.
Chen Xinyue was not annoyed by what she said, but nodded in agreement, looked at Xiao Jinlin with a reproachful look, and whispered: "Did you hear that? Stay away from those messy girls outside."
Xiao Jinlin smiled dotingly and nodded obediently.
His reaction really surprised the elders of the Xiao family. They all looked at him as if they were watching a peep show, as if they didn't recognize Xiao Jinlin anymore.
Mr. Xiao laughed even louder, "Not bad, not bad, it looks much more popular this way!"
Old Madam Xiao was also very happy. She held Chen Xinyue's hand tightly and was about to ask about Chen Xinyue's family situation when the door of the box was pushed open again.
Xiao Jinlin's uncle Xiao Sheng arrived with his wife He Xue.
As soon as He Xue came in, she greeted her parents-in-law, followed by Xiao Sheng's eldest brother Xiao Bai, Mu Qinglian, and then Xiao Qiuyu's family.
After saying hello, she finally noticed Chen Xinyue who was sitting next to Old Madam Xiao. She looked at her carefully, and then looked at her again, frowning.
Madam Xiao noticed her abnormality, "What? Is there a problem?"
He Xue quickly shook her head, then smiled and said, "Mom, I just feel that this lady looks familiar, as if I have seen her before."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was once again focused on Chen Xinyue.
Guo Lingyue was so jealous that she couldn't help but said, "Aunt, you must have made a mistake. There are so many people in the world who look alike."
What family background does He Xue have? How could this woman brought by Xiao Jinlin possibly know He Xue?
He Xue ignored her and asked hesitantly, "Where are you from?"
Chen Xinyue didn't understand, so she said honestly, "I'm from the south, and my home is in Anshi."
Mu Qinglian had never heard of it and thought it was a remote and poor place. She looked at Chen Xinyue with more and more disgust.
He Xue stood up excitedly, "Do you know Lin Qin? She lives in Nanxi!"
Chen Xinyue was shocked, "That's my mother!"
"Yaya! You are Yaya, right?"
Chen Xinyue: “!!!!!!”
Oh my god! What's going on? I met my mother's old friend in a foreign country? I'm screwed! What if what happened today gets to my mother's ears? How should I explain it?
Chen Xinyue was very panicked.
He Xue had already run over, pulled Xiao Jinlin away, and huddled together affectionately with Chen Xinyue.
Madam Xiao became even more curious about Chen Xinyue, "Second brother, do you know Xinyue's mother?"
He Xue nodded wildly, "Of course I know her! Sister Qin, she lived in the same dormitory with me in college. She is an incredible woman. Mom, you know E-Society Media, right? If you don't know, have you ever read E-Society magazine?"
"I have read it! Because Jinlin is in business, your father and I will read these magazine news. What's the problem?" Old Madam Xiao was a little confused.
He Xue put her arm around Chen Xinyue's shoulders and introduced her solemnly, "This girl in front of you is the eldest daughter of E-Corporate Media. She used to play with Mr. Stephen when she was a child! You know Mr. Stephen, right? He is well-known on the list of the world's richest people."
After He Xue's "boasting", Mu Qinglian felt as if she had been severely slapped in the face. It was burning with pain and she became completely quiet and honest.
Guo Lingyue's face turned even paler, and she couldn't hide the jealousy and resentment in her eyes.
Su Su beside her tried her best to reduce her presence.
Because of He Xue's words, Old Lady Xiao liked Chen Xinyue even more. She praised her several times and even put the imperial green bracelet on her wrist on Chen Xinyue's other hand.
"Grandma, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it!" Chen Xinyue was terrified. She looked at the handkerchief that Old Madam Xiao carried with her and changed the subject. "Grandma, this handkerchief is embroidered on both sides! It's obvious that it was made by a famous artist."
She made no secret of her fondness for handkerchiefs.
Madam Xiao was also a smart person. She understood what she meant immediately and smiled from ear to ear. "You have good taste. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Chen Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. That bracelet was probably worth eight figures. She would be crazy to ask for it. This handkerchief was quite good. It was a treasure that was presentable but not outrageously expensive. She could accept it with peace of mind.
The others saw that Chen Xinyue knew what was good, knew when to act and was not greedy for cheap things, and was good at speaking. With just a few words, she made Old Madam Xiao smile and they also recognized her identity.
Even Mu Qinglian, who had bullied Chen Xinyue at the beginning, now looked much more relaxed.
Only Guo Lingyue and Su Su were angry and resentful, but no one cared.
Chen Xinyue enjoyed the meal very much thanks to the warm hospitality of Madam Xiao and He Xue. It would have been even better if she had ignored someone's sinister look that was as vicious as a poisonous snake.
