Chapter 1425: A Vital Clue
Everybody was seated and Jun Yan happened to sit facing Ouyang Feifei. But when Ouyang Feifei looked at him he turned away deliberately.
There was something awkward between them.
The luncheon started. Ouyang Qing and his wife tried to thank Jun Yan and Ye Xun with gifts. But the two declined politely.
Then the men started drinking while Jing Xi sat chatting with Ren Meixin.
Women’s topics were always about family, husbands, and kids. Ren Meixin mentioned, “Jing Xi, if you are willing, you are more than welcome to join our Lancha Society.”
“May I?”
Jing Xi was surprised.
“Of course. We’d love to have you as a member.”
“Thank you. It’s my honor.”
Jing Xi recalled that she had tried to join the Lancha Society at the beginning in order to figure out if Ren Meixin was Lady White Tea.
Now she already knew the Ouyang family well and realized that Ren Meixin was definitely not Lady White Tea. But it would do no harm to ask further about her. “Auntie, I know people call you Lady Camellia. But have you ever heard of Lady White Tea?”
“I have heard of this name. Many years ago we had a member called Lan Qiwei. I heard it from her that her sister was called Lady White Tea. But I only have Lan Qiwei’s photo here. I’ll show you.”
Ren Mein pulled out from her pad the files of former Lancha Society members, where Lan Qiwei was recorded.
Seeing Lan Qiwei’s photo, Jing Xi found that this woman looked familiar.
But on the other hand, she was quite sure that she had never met her before.
How could that be possible?
Staring at the file, Jing Xi asked further, “So wasn’t Lan Qiwei from the Northland? But it says Estan here.”
“Right. She was from Estan.”
“Then do you know where she is now?”
“Sadly, she pa.s.sed away many years ago. But she has a daughter. I’m sure you are no stranger to her.”
“Who is her daughter?”
“Our superstar, Lan Ling-Er.”
“…”
Jing Xi was truly shocked. So was Lan Ling-Er’s mother Lan Qiwei?
In that case, was Lady White Tea Lan Ling-Er’s aunt?
Who would expect that they were so close?
Getting to know this, Jing Xi got excited. Luckily she took care of Lan Ling-Er when she came to her for help. Now she had found a vital clue.
She would definitely go to Lan Ling-Er to find out who her aunt was. Awesome!
Everybody enjoyed the luncheon except for Ouyang Feifei. She kept her head low and talked to no one.
Tea was served afterward. Huo Yunshen talked to Ouyang Qing while Jing Xi kept chatting with Ren Meixin.
“Auntie, I told my First and Second Brother about your beautiful garden. They both want to take a look!”
Ren Meixin was flattered. “Really? Then I’ll have Feifei show them around.”
“Sure.”
Ren Meixin called her daughter to accompany the two for a tour in the garden.
Ouyang Feifei took a look at Jing Xi, who slightly nodded at her. Then she realized that Jing Xi was trying to help her and Jun Yan.
As her mother had asked, she invited the two gentlemen for a tour. Ye Xun dragged Jun Yan to catch up with her.
