Chapter 666: 345 Fragrance of Heart (Third Watch of the Night)_2
âCould he be gay?â
Liu Muxueâs pupils swirled: âThat makes sense, otherwise it canât be explained.â
Li Qingyao felt relieved.
âMadam, madam...?â Madam Shen called out several times, only to see Madam Jiang staring blankly in one direction, her gaze deep and cold, which inexplicably made Madam Shen feel a bit scared.
While they were talking, Jiang Chunlan suddenly spaced out, and Madam Shen called her several times but she didnât snap out of it, so she followed her gaze to look over.
Madam Shenâs eyes instantly lit up.
âIâve never seen this young gentleman before. Such a divine demeanor, Iâve never seen it in my life.â
The man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look this way.
Across the vast sea of people, their eyes met.
Jiang Chunlan suddenly smiled, took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, and slowly walked away.
âYuxun, I heard you returned to the country, I didnât expect to see you here.â
The people surrounding Bo Yuxun saw Jiang Chunlan and automatically made way for her.
In the circle of the crowd, only Jiang Chunlan and Bo Yuxun were left.
One was a dignified and beautiful woman, and the other was tall and handsome, making a pleasing picture.
Bo Yuxun suppressed the coldness in his eyes, smiled at his lips, and raised his glass of red wine: âMadam, nice to see you well.â
Jiang Chunlan playfully retorted: âWhy are you calling me madam? You used to call me sister Lan. We grew up together, there should be no formality between us.â
The people around were shocked. It turned out that Dr. Bo was a childhood friend of Madam Jiang.
Bo Yuxun raised his eyebrows, deep in his black eyes was like a swirl of black mist, dark and inscrutable.
âMadam is now high-ranking, and Yuxun is just a humble doctor, how dare I be familiar with Madam?â
Jiang Chunlan sighed: âYuxun, even you are joking with me, I really miss the old times. Back then, you were the little boy following me around calling me sister. In the blink of an eye, you have become a renowned doctor and Iâm proud of you.â
âMadam, do you still remember my twin sister?â Bo Yuxunâs chewing muscles slightly bulged, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chunlanâs face.
âShe used to love to stick by Madam when she was young.â
Jiang Chunlanâs eyes flickered: âYou mean that girl A Jiang. Speaking of which, she is a hard-luck child, but fortunately, her hardship has finally come to an end.â
âThe hardship has come to an end?â Bo Yuxun lowered his eyes, suppressed the clouds in his eyes, and a cold smile floated on his lips.
He said it as if it was a casual remark.
âOh, do you also know this young lady of the Zhu family?â Jiang Chunlan said as if she were chatting idly, her tone didnât reveal any anomalies.
Bo Yuxun replied indifferently: âI just met her tonight.â
Neither Zhu Xiangxiang nor Zhu Shaodan turned out well under Lin Qingâs care, while Ming Jing and Lin Ya, who were raised outside, were all extremely exemplary.
Granny Zhu thought to herself, fortunately, Ming Jing was raised outside, or else she wouldâve been spoiled by Lin Qing too.
Thinking about how unfair it was to Ming Jing, she hurriedly changed her train of thought.
Lin Qingâs face was deathly pale.
Today was the old ladyâs birthday, she wouldnât dare to talk back.
Ming Jing bent down and pinned a beautifully blooming chrysanthemum to Granny Zhuâs chest.
Granny Zhu patted her hand, âGood child, get ready to push me out.â
Ming Jing nodded with a smile.
Lin Ya stood behind Granny Zhu and retreated a step when she heard this, maintaining a low profile with extreme tactfulness.
Li Juan walked into the room. On seeing her, Lin Qing immediately asked, âDid you find her?â
Li Juan shook her head: âMiss Xiangxiang and Master Shaodan left at four in the afternoon. I thought theyâd come to the hotel, maybe theyâve gone out to play.â
âPlay? These two really lack any sense of propriety. Iâve been too indulgent, havenât I? Iâve given them too much freedom that theyâve become unaware of their boundaries.â Lin Qing was indignant.
Lin Ya gave Li Juan a sidelong glance, her lips curling up slightly.
This servant was pretty interesting. She heard that Zhu Xiangxiang brought her home. She thought Li Juan was on Zhu Xiangxiangâs side, but those innocent words were actually quite vindictive.
The always silent Zhu Wentao gave a cough: âAlright, itâs time. Weâll discuss the childrenâs issues later.â
Lin Qing could only swallow her resentment for now, planning to send Zhu Xiangxiang abroad immediately after the banquet; that child was becoming intolerable.
Lin Qing looked at Ming Jing and smiled, âYou look beautiful today, youâre your motherâs eternal pride.â
After saying that, she gently patted Ming Jingâs hand. Her eyes were filled with deep affection.
Ming Jing cast her eyes downward, âMadam, Iâm sorry.â
After saying this, she pushed Granny Zhu out, leaving Lin Qing behind.
Lin Qing was confused: âWhat on earth did she mean by âsorryâ?â
Lin Ya slightly narrowed her eyes; she had a sense that something was amiss.
Lin Qing held Lin Yaâs hand: âGo out there with your Aunt.â
Lin Ya looked touched: âThank you, Aunt.â
Being Madam Zhuâs niece and Ming Jingâs cousin, the outsiders would respect her more.
Zhu Wentaoâs gaze flitted over Lin Yaâs face before he turned around nonchalantly, exiting arm in arm with Lin Qing.
Li Juan stared at the backs of the three people, her gaze mainly fixated on Lin Ya. Subconsciously, she touched her pocket.
âMiss Xiangxiang, youâre so malicious. People who do bad things will get their retribution. Amitofo...Buddha, I didnât do it on purpose. Itâs all because of the bad people. You have to judge fairly.â
