Chapter 97: Meeting the Nangong Brothers and Sisters Again
When the Nangong siblings arrived, Xu Yueyao led a few people out to greet them in a dignified and elegant manner.
Nangong Yan and Nangong Ying looked at Xu Yueyao walking towards them and both froze in place.
She moves gracefully and elegantly, walks lightly with lotus steps, and has a graceful figure, as light and graceful as a willow swaying in the wind. Her every frown and smile is just right, neither ostentatious nor lacking in dignity and beauty.
Her jet-black hair was gently tied behind her head, with a water magnolia hairpin with pearls and a pearl hairpin in her hair. It swayed gently with her movements, adding a touch of lively beauty.
Xu Yueyao came closer, and Nangong Yan looked at her gentle eyebrows, delicate features, and standard oval face. He was in a trance. Did she really have nothing to do with his mother?
Nangong Ying hid her hands in her sleeves and clenched them tightly. Her long nails dug deeply into her palms. She felt no pain, and the suffocation came over her instantly, making it hard for her to breathe.
Xu Yueyao looked at them and saw Nangong Yan's shock and Nangong Ying's fear.
Xu Yueyao, who had originally given up the idea of whether the daughter was real or fake, began to doubt again, thinking that there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Mr. Nangong, Miss Nangong, welcome. Grandma is waiting for you in the house. Please come in," Xu Yueyao made a inviting gesture to them.
"Ms. Xu, why are you here?" Nangong Yan looked at her face, not missing any of her expressions.
Xu Yueyao deliberately stretched out her right hand and smoothed her hair, revealing the same ring on her ring finger as Zhan Rongxuan's.
"My grandma called me and said that a distinguished guest would be visiting today and asked me to entertain him well."
Nangong Yan understood what she meant and glanced at Nangong Ying. He didn't expect that in just a few days, Xu Yueyao would actually make Old Madam Zhan accept her. It seems that she is not simple either.
"Madam, this is a gift for you," Nangong Ying opened the gift, pushed it in front of the old lady, and looked up at her brother.
Nangong Yan smiled and said, "This emerald rough stone was cut by Ah Ying for the first time. She took it out after she went back and said that she would give it to the old lady no matter what, saying that this emerald is very suitable for the old lady."
"Brother," Nangong Ying stopped him embarrassedly, then smiled and pushed the gift in front of the old man, "I hope the old lady likes it."
After all, Madam Zhan was not an ordinary old lady. From the moment the brother and sister approached her, she knew what they were planning. They originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to drive Xu Yueyao away. After all, there was no comparison between Xu Yueyao and Miss Nangong.
But who knew that Rong Xuan and she had already obtained their marriage certificate, and she had thought about it and felt that Xu Yueyao was not completely useless. She could please Rong Xuan, and she came from a simple family and was easy to control.
Therefore, the balance in Old Madam Zhan's heart had long tilted towards Xu Yueyao.
"This jade is too precious and has a special meaning to Miss Nangong. I cannot accept it." Old Madam Zhan pushed the gift to her.
Nangong Ying's mouth was stiff and the atmosphere was a little awkward. They were all smart people, so she certainly knew what it meant for the old lady to refuse to accept any gifts.
Xu Yueyao was helpless. Of course she needed to come out and smooth things over, otherwise it would be very awkward for both sides.
Shit, in order to save face for both of them, they have to rub her face on the ground. But Xu Yueyao is still useless and is ready to play the role of cannon fodder.
Xu Yueyao cleared her throat gently and prepared to begin her performance.
"Miss Nangong, are you really willing to give up such a meaningful gem?" Xu Yueyao looked at the gem with bright eyes, looking as if she had never seen the world before.
"Of course, we have mines there, so this is nothing to us." In front of her brother and the old lady, Nangong Ying had to answer her question, her tone full of superiority.
"Then can you sell this gem to me? A very important elder is about to have a birthday, and I want to make a set of jewelry for her. I wonder how much Miss Nangong will offer for it." Xu Yueyao said as she looked at Nangong Ying's superior oval face.
Of course Nangong Ying didn't want to ask her for money, but there was no reason for her to take back the gift she had given out.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Since Miss Xu likes it, I'll give it to you."
"Grandma, is this appropriate? Is it too expensive?" Xu Yueyao looked at Old Man Zhan with a simple and puzzled expression.
"In that case, just accept it," said Madam Zhan, and then glanced at the maid beside her.
After a while, the maid came to the old lady holding a box.
"Miss Nangong, this is a string of seven-colored nine-treasure Arhat beads given to you by Master Yuanji. I give it to you. I hope you like it."
Nangong Ying looked up at Nangong Yan, who nodded.
"Thank you ma'am, I like it very much." Nangong Ying accepted the gift with a smile.
After a tug of war, the answer was clear and everyone knew it.

"Miss Xu"!
When Xu Yueyao heard the call, the corners of her mouth curled up, she stopped and waited until she heard footsteps approaching from behind.
She turned around with a puzzled and innocent look on her face, "Mr. Nangong?"
"Ms. Xu, could you please have a moment with me?" Nangong Yan looked at her. He had been looking for an opportunity to say a few words to her. Only when Aying went to the bathroom did he have the chance to come out.
Xu Yueyao pretended to be innocent and embarrassed, looked around, and said, "Okay, Mr. Nangong, what do you want to say?"
Nangong Yan looked at the ring on her hand and asked, "What is the relationship between Miss Xu and Rong Xuan now?"
"Oh, that's what you see." Xu Yueyao's cheeks were slightly red, and she pursed her lips slightly, with a bit of reserve and shyness, everything was self-evident.
Nangong Yan was distracted for a moment as he watched her smile and purse her lips. His mother would also purse her lips slightly when she was happy. His mother's smile was always subtle and elegant.
"Miss Xu is so beautiful, she looks like your mother, right?"
Xu Yueyao thought for a while and said, "My parents are long gone, but when I looked at their photos, I didn’t look like them."
Xu Yueyao looked at Nangong Yan and said jokingly: "Mr. Nangong and Miss Nangong don't look alike. So one looks like the father and the other looks like the mother?"
Nangong Yan smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity that I didn't inherit my father's handsomeness. Aying doesn't look much like my mother. My father said that she looks a bit like our aunt."
"Is your aunt married? Does she have children?" Xu Yueyao couldn't help but ask.
"No, she died of illness when she was eighteen."
"Yeah"? Xu Yueyao frowned.
"But Miss Xu looks a bit like my mother," Nangong Yan looked at her features and felt that if he had a younger sister, she would probably look like this.
"Really? Are they similar?" Xu Yueyao asked, touching her face.
Nangong Yan nodded and said, "Very similar."
Xu Yueyao felt that the time was almost up and Nangong Ying should be here soon, so she immediately pulled a few strands of hair off her head.
"I think you are very friendly. Maybe you really are my brother. Why don't we go for a check-up?" Xu Yueyao said half-jokingly.
"Okay, if you are really my sister, I would be so happy. I have always dreamed of having another sister."
"Then don't let Miss Nangong know what you said, or she might get jealous." Xu Yueyao reminded with a smile.
Nangong Yan made a hissing gesture to keep it secret. Xu Yueyao also put her index finger aside and made a hushing gesture.
She looked at Nangong Ying walking towards her from a distance and said goodbye to Nangong Yan with a smile.
