Chapter 115: Needle vs. Wheat

The old house of the Song family.

The mansion, which combines Chinese and Western styles, is more luxurious than the Ling family's manor. It is unique in Haicheng, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The courtyard is full of luxury cars. x|

Mr. Song has several wives and concubines and more than a dozen children, and they are all present today.

Everyone is gathered together.

Mr. Song recovered well from his stroke and looked radiant, personally greeting the guests.

A confidant whispered in his ear: "Ling Lao is here."

The Ling family arrived earlier than the Wei family. There were Madam Ling, Ling Xuewei, Ling Shaomin, and finally an old man who got out of the car, supported by Ling Yuanzhou.

Seeing the old man, Mr. Song also stepped forward and became friendly, "Mr. Ling, long time no see."

"you do not say."

Master Ling was older than Master Song. He was thin, wore a Taoist robe, had gray hair, and looked unsightly. He coughed from time to time, and his eyes looked sharp yet gentle.

It is hard to discern what is going on in the minds of people like them who have experienced many hardships and are old.

Old Master Song looked at Madam Ling, her mother and her daughter and said, "Come, come, sit here."

Many guests had already arrived, and seeing Mr. Song greeting the guests with a smile on his face, they couldn't help but look at them curiously.

"This is the Su Chengling family."

The Ling family is a famous family of poets and writers. Mrs. Ling is adorned with jewels and precious stones, but she does not look tacky and is gentle and elegant.

Both daughters are fair-skinned and beautiful.

One has a temperament similar to Madam Ling, elegant, graceful and quiet, while the other is a little more outspoken, and at first glance she is a little princess who was brought up in pampering.

"Is that Miss Ling?" a guest asked.

Ling Xuewei wore a light yellow cheongsam with delicate Su embroidery of plum blossoms, lace gloves of the same color, a bun and a small pearl hat. She had a tall figure and gave people the feeling of being "elegant and graceful with a wealth of knowledge".

"People who have studied abroad are different. Their every move is pleasing to the eye."

"I heard that Marshal Wei and this Miss Ling were childhood sweethearts?"

"Yes, maybe the marriage will be announced today."

"No wonder, look at Master Song, he specially let her sit next to him, not many people have such an honor..."

Ling Shaomin looked at everyone's envious eyes, and the depression she had been feeling for the past two days finally dissipated a little.

If Xu Jinye really dares to come, let her know the consequences.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone outside the door shouting, "General Wei is here!"

Everyone looked over.

The Wei family members are good-looking, and having recently won a victory, they attract countless eyes whenever they appear.

The governor was wearing a robe and jacket today, which was rare for him. He looked like a wealthy lord, but his military majesty was no less.

Behind him, Marshal Wei was wearing a dark blue military uniform, black combat boots, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and deep and handsome facial features. The moment he walked in, it was like a beam of light shining on his face, making it impossible to look directly at him.

"Oh my god, this is Wei Shaoshuai."

"How can there be such a handsome man?"

Many girls secretly had red eyes.

He outshined everyone else.

But soon, everyone saw his female relatives around him again.

Mrs. Wei is the third daughter of Mr. Song. She is wearing a dark cheongsam that is elegant and graceful, full of charm, and has a friendly smile on her face that appeals to both the young and the old.

Look at the two girls next to them.

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

One of them was wearing a white dress and looked somewhat similar to Mrs. Wei. She must be their legitimate daughter, Wei Jiaqi. The other one, wearing a dark blue dress, was probably the legendary burden, but her figure and appearance were even more outstanding.

The hem of the dress Jin Ye wore was just above her knees and was wide enough for running around. But the hem was also unique, like a wave, making her upper body look like a mermaid on the waves. It was tight, revealing a part of her chest, and had no sleeves.

Wei Liangchen asked her to wear the necklace she had photographed yesterday.

The sharp contrast between the imperial green court beads and the flawless white skin creates an extremely strong visual impact.

It makes people's eyes pop out.

Jin Ye felt uncomfortable as she noticed countless eyes were on her, but Wei Liangchen had already stepped in front of her to block them.

It instantly blocked the sight of most people, especially men.

Wei Liangchen wanted to take off his military jacket and cover her with it.

Ling Xuewei's gaze also froze when she fell on Jin Ye's necklace.

Did Wei Liangchen really give her the necklace?

From this angle, Jin Ye happened to be able to see Ling Xuewei. Although Ling Xuewei looked reserved, she still sensed a hint of hostility.

"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief and Young Marshal Wei, they fought a brilliant battle." said Wei Liangchen's uncle.

My second uncle also agreed.

The beautiful lady in cheongsam standing next to Mr. Song making tea is the new tenth concubine. "The noble ladies in Haicheng have been asking when the fourth lady will come. They want to play mahjong with you."

Mrs. Wei was the fourth child in the family, and everyone in the family called her the Fourth Miss.

"Okay, I like playing mahjong the most." Mrs. Wei said with a smile.

Undoubtedly, the victory of the Zhi faction this time has greatly improved the governor's reputation in Haicheng. In addition, a rumor has spread from somewhere that Chief Ling's daughter and Wei Liangchen are childhood sweethearts and will be getting married soon.

When the two strong forces unite, more people will naturally curry favor with them.

The military governor was humble, "It's all thanks to the good time."

"The young are really promising. My grandson is a great guy." Old Song was also very proud.

Wei Liangchen waved his hand and asked someone to present the gift, "This is from my father for my grandfather."

When the box was opened, a copper-based, filigree, and enamel qilin was revealed, an antique collectible worth a fortune.

Jinye took a look and found that it was not any of the ones he took yesterday.

Old Master Song glanced at Qilin and said, "Not bad. Didn't Liangchen say he had a gift for Grandpa? Why didn't you come to see him?"

Wei Liangchen looked at his watch, and a smile flashed across his deep eyes. "Grandpa, please wait a little longer for my gift."

"Oh?" Old Master Song was very happy and said with a smile, "Okay. Governor, Liangchen, Huihe, Jiaqi, come and sit down."

The only person he didn't call was Jin Ye's name.

He even pointed to the seat next to Ling Xuewei and said, "Liangchen, sit here."

The Ling family members all looked at the Wei family.

But except for the military governor, no one else in the Wei family moved.

Old Master Song frowned and smiled, "By the way, Old Master Ling, this is my grandson, you have seen him, right?"

Jin Ye looked at the old man, who looked somewhat like Chief Ling, so he should be his father.

The old man was thin, with a sallow face and coughed from time to time, but his eyes were bright.

"In a blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much." Ling Lao's voice was a little hoarse, but very clear. "I haven't been down the mountain for a long time. As soon as I went down the mountain, I ran into them all."

Jin Ye wasn't sure whether he saw him or not. He seemed to have seen him, but also seemed not to have seen him.

The old man's eyes were gentle. "Come on, everyone, come here."

Wei Liangchen wanted to hold her, but Mrs. Wei was between them. Mrs. Wei didn't want her son to embarrass his father in public, so she grabbed Jinye first and pulled Jiaqi with her other hand, saying with a smile:

"After half a day of riding, I can't sit down any more. I have to take my two children to say hello to the relatives."

Just like that, the two girls were taken away.

Jin Ye glanced at Mrs. Wei and felt a little warm in his heart.

"My mother will help you too." Jiaqi laughed softly.

"Well, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Wei looked a little unnatural.

The banquet was a buffet, and the guests were toasting each other. Mrs. Wei was in the limelight, and many noble ladies came up to curry favor with her and chatted happily.

The young girl was socializing with Jiaqi. Before Jiaqi came, she said that she would protect Jinye and held her hand like a conjoined twin. Jinye found it a little funny.

It's also a bit heartwarming.

While chatting with Jiaqi's cousins, Ling Shaomin and Ling Xuewei came over.

"Xu Jinye!" Ling Shaomin poured the red wine in her hand over without saying a word.
