Qiao Feng glanced at Le Yao and invited him in.
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. “That guy must be here to freeload.”
“The Nangong family doesn’t even give him food?” Jiang Lin frowned. “However, with a mother like He Rong, it’s normal for him to have nothing to eat.”
Qiao Qiao was speechless.
‘Mom, your focus is really strange.’
Le Yao:
‘Auntie, you’re so magnanimous. You didn’t vent your anger on He
Rong.’
At this moment, Nangong Jue walked in. He glanced at Le Yao and then glanced at the dining table. Then, he nodded slightly at Qiao Feng and Jiang Lin. “Uncle Qiao, Auntie Jiang, I’m sorry to disturb you.” As he spoke, he handed over a box in his hand. “It’s a small gift. I hope Auntie Jiang likes it.”
Qiao Feng frowned. Who was your uncle? He actually called him so affectionately, but forget it. He wouldn’t fuss about this for the time being.
“For me?” Jiang Lin was surprised. To be honest, because of He Rong, even if she didn’t vent her anger on Nangong Jue, she didn’t want to interact with him. Now that he had given her a gift, of course she would be surprised. “That’s too polite.” Actually, she didn’t want it.
“Lan and Qiao Qiao are best friends. From this point of view, you’re also my elder,” Nangong Jue said sincerely.
Jiang Lin and Qiao Feng looked at each other. Then, she picked up the box and opened it. Her originally calm eyes suddenly widened. “This is… Master Qing Yi’s seal?”
“Yes.” Nangong Jue nodded.
“Hubby, Master Qing Yi carved this specially for me. Look.” Jiang Lin excitedly picked up the seal of the bloodstone and handed it to Qiao Feng. “Look, it’s my name.”
Qiao Feng nodded. “Yes.” Then, he looked at Nangong Jue. “You actually know that my wife is Shuangmu.”
“I once auctioned ‘The Girl Under the Cherry Blossoms’ at an auction in Country D.” Nangong Jue smiled. “That girl…” As he spoke, he glanced at Qiao Qiao. “She’s very similar to Young Lady Qiao. Later on, I even saw a set of Master Shuangmu’s ‘Hundred Carp Painting’ in the Xiling Museum. I was also lucky enough to see Auntie Jiang’s calligraphy. It’s very similar to the signatures on those two paintings. I studied the other paintings of Master Shuangmu and deduced that Auntie Jiang should be Shuangmu.”
“You’re really meticulous.”
“Uncle Qiao, you flatter me. However, I was only 100% sure just now.”
“If you weren’t He Rong’s son, perhaps I would admire you.”
Le Yao’s heart sank slightly. She hurriedly looked at Nangong Jue.
These words were a little rude. She hoped that he wouldn’t flare up.
“Uncle Qiao, it’s not up to me to choose who I was born into. However, I can decide how I live and what kind of person I want to be in the future. ”
Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment before smiling. “I hope you can do it.”
“I will.
“Qiao Qiao said that you’re here to freeload, is that true?”
Nangong Jue was stunned. This topic changed a little too quickly, but he wasn’t pretentious. He nodded seriously. “Lan’s culinary skills are very good. I’m indeed greedy.”
The corners of Le Yao’s mouth twitched. This guy was honest.
Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at him. How shameless.
“Then add a seat.” Qiao Feng gestured to the butler.
“I’ll do it myself.” Nangong Jue picked up a chair and placed it beside Le Yao. He ignored the surprised gazes of the others and sat down.
