Chapter 3418: No Eye Contact
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was no need for the people sitting at the card table to express their opinions. Third Sister-in-law and Fourth Sister-in-law had already agreed.
Ye Jian naturally had no objections. It wasn’t a problem for her to be fast or slow. It didn’t affect her ability to remember cards.
She nodded, and Xia Jinyuan started to shuffle the cards.
Qin Xiu, who was watching from the side, saw that Ye Jian had already integrated into the Xia family’s life and wasn’t uncomfortable at all. His eyes darkened, and the bitterness in his heart couldn’t help but deepen.
Compared to the open-minded Xia family, the Qin family… was much more conservative.
His mother’s status in the family was high up.
Last night, his grandmother said that family status wasn’t the most important thing now. As long as the woman’s family background was clean, it didn’t matter if her family background was slightly lacking. However, his mother was afraid that his grandmother would introduce a girl with an ordinary family background to him, so she immediately smiled and said, “You’re right, but after all, the world is different now.
“It’s also because this world is different that it’s worrying. How will a family with a weaker family background raise their child? No matter how good her character is, she’ll still be too short-sighted. It’s not easy to be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. She needs to have a good character, and she can’t be short-sighted. That way, when the time comes, she’ll be able to do everything. If she’s careless and offends someone, people will think that our Qin family was being intentional.
Since he could hear what his mother said, how could Grandma not? She just smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.
In the end, it was still a matter of family background.
Ye Jian was good in all aspects. He was confident that his family would accept her, but… it was impossible for them to accept Ye Jian as sincerely as the Xia family.
Xia Jinyuan managed to do it. He made everyone in the Xia family accept Ye Jian and treat her as a family. He didn’t look down on Ye Jian’s background.
Instead, he protected Ye Jian and respected her.
In this aspect, Qin Xiu was definitely inferior to Xia Jinyuan. He felt ashamed.
For Ye Jian, Xia Jinyuan must have put in a lot of effort secretly. As for him? He hadn’t put in much effort. Since he hadn’t put in any effort, it wasn’t surprising that he didn’t win Ye Jian’s heart.
Looking at the tacit understanding between the two of them, those who didn’t know better would think that they were communicating while playing cards. When Xia Jinyuan played a card, Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled as long as she received his gaze. She understood what he meant at a glance. The two of them went back and forth, making the other two brothers of the Xia family tense up and not dare to be distracted at all.
“The two of you are not allowed to make eye contact!” Xia Yuzheng missed two rounds of cards. After taking out a pair of 2s and a pair of KS, he finally couldn’t help but say, “Let’s make it a new rule!”
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows and replied with a lazy facial expression, “You’re my brother. You have the final say.”
Xia Yuyi glanced at him and continued to stare at the cards in his hand and on the table.
Ye Jian smiled until her eyes curved. She didn’t have any objections to the new rule.
Qin Xiu lowered his eyes slightly and suppressed the bitterness in his heart. He finally couldn’t hold back the expression on his face anymore. It revealed a hint of bitterness.
With something on his mind, he didn’t notice that Xia Yunyin had already sized him up several times. When he looked at him for the last time, there was a hint of coldness in Xia Yunyin’s eyes.
He didn’t expect this famous diplomat from the Qin family to like Little Six’s girlfriend. Heh, he hid it well. He almost didn’t notice it!
He had to remind Little Six later. The young diplomat from the Qin family was not an ordinary man.. Little Six had to be guarded against such an outstanding person!
