Jiang Mingxin's face changed suddenly.
Lin You's tone made her sit up straight and frown nervously.
"Sister You, please tell me slowly, what happened?"
Lin You's breathing was quite unstable. He paced back and forth in the room as if holding a microphone. "Oh, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?"
"A few days ago, Qi Rongrong and Gu Wenli came to me to apologize. I thought they were sincere in admitting their mistakes, so I chatted with them for a while. But then they said they wanted to visit the Kong family, so they came to ask for my advice."
"I'm confused. Why did they ask for my opinion when they went to the Kong family? We're not familiar with the Kong family."
"But Gu Wenli said something earth-shattering! He actually said, 'You are the adopted daughter of the Kong family!'"
Jiang Mingxin stood up suddenly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
My heart was pounding.
"What does he mean by this?"
"I asked him the same thing, but he turned around and asked me in confusion, 'Don't I know you're Kong Xintang?'"
Hearing this, Jiang Mingxin's heart skipped a beat.
"Gu Wenli has seen me before, but mistook me for Kong Xintang? Could it be that... this girl named Kong Xintang looks a lot like me?"
"How would I know? I've never met Kong Xintang, but I've heard of her name. She's the adopted daughter of the Kong family. I heard she's been incredibly gifted and intelligent since she was young. Not only is she of a high generation, but she's also extremely favored. Even the Kong family's own grandchildren don't get to enjoy the same treatment."
Lin You took a breath and continued, "Although I was confused at the time, I didn't say anything. I just told Gu Wenli that since they wanted to visit the Kong family, then they could go."
"Then this afternoon, the couple came again. And this time, I got some shocking news!"
Jiang Mingxin's heart was suddenly gripped.
Then, Lin You vividly described what Qi Rongrong's family had experienced the day before.
Andingmen Street, Confucius Mansion Courtyard.
"Brother Li, the Kong family is really extraordinary."
"Grandpa and I have been sitting here for half an hour, and no one from the Kong family has come out."
Qi Rongrong sat upright on a high-quality Huanghuali official hat chair, tilted her head slightly, and whispered to Gu Wenli in a low voice.
In this main room, every piece of furniture has a history of hundreds of years.
The official hat chair she was sitting on was an antique from the Ming Dynasty.
Gu Lao glanced at Gu Wenli, who immediately warned her in a low voice: "Be patient, the Kong family is not an easy family to meet guests with. Since they are willing to invite us in, they will not neglect us."
"I guess it's because the Kong family is busy right now, so they haven't come out yet."
"Remember, your eyes will follow your nose, and your nose will follow your heart. Don't speak unless Grandpa tells you to."
Qi Rongrong stuck out her tongue. Although she was dissatisfied, she still held it back.
If the Gu family was not a family of scholars, she would not even be able to enter the Kong family's gate today.
After all, the Qi family is just a group of businessmen and cannot be compared with a large family with a profound background like the Kong family.
This most legendary family in China is famous but always low-key.
Although he had long stated that he would not participate in politics, he had too many disciples and descendants who went into politics.
No matter whether it is officialdom or economic affairs, as long as one has the background of the Kong family, others can only keep their distance.
I absolutely dare not interfere again.
So Qi Rongrong was very nervous from the moment she entered the door, almost like she was sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to relieve her anxiety by talking, but was stopped by Gu Wenli.
After a while, they had finished their second cup of tea when someone finally came in from outside.
"Oh, what brings you here, Mr. Gu? I'm so rude for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."
As he spoke, a melodious orchid fragrance wafted over his face.
A young girl wearing a Republic of China-style cheongsam carried a solid wooden tray and gracefully stepped across the door frame and came in front of them.
She wore no makeup but her face was as bright as the moon. Her long black hair was tied softly behind her head with a simple white jade hairpin inserted in it. She was delicate and graceful, gentle and charming.
Every frown and smile makes people feel like spring breeze.
When Qi Rongrong looked at her, it was as if she saw a peerless beauty walking out of an ancient painting.
He couldn't help but lower his head and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Although her appearance was not bad, she couldn't help but feel ashamed in front of this man.
Why is this Kong Xintang different from the one I saw a few days ago?
Her every move exuded a noble temperament and her smile was gentle, completely different from her fierce appearance at the Xing family.
While she was looking at Kong Xintang, Kong Xintang was also observing her.
She slightly opened her red lips, and her breath smelled like orchid.
"I guess this must be the youngest granddaughter-in-law of Gu Lao's family."
"Miss Qi is beautiful and intelligent, with a full forehead. You look like someone who will be rich and powerful. You and Mr. Gu standing together are truly a match made in heaven. What a beautiful scene, you will be the envy of others."
After saying that, she placed the tray in front of Mr. Gu with a smile.
"I didn't know you were coming, so I just managed to make these snacks. These butterfly pastries and jujube paste cakes are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and perfect with Biluochun tea."
Just a few simple words, gentle and appropriate, taking care of everyone.
Kong Xintang is indeed a wonderful person as rumored by the outside world.
But Mr. Gu stared at her, frowning unhappily.
"Girl, why are you so distant from me after just a few days of not seeing you?"
Kong Xintang was suddenly stunned, and a look of confusion appeared on his fair face.
"Mr. Gu, you're joking. Isn't today our first meeting? But I really feel like I've known you for a long time. I really want to become your friend, regardless of age difference."
