Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yueyue, you’re lucky and talented. A village woman like Bai Lin can’t compare to you. Let’s not waste our time here with this kind of person.” someone tried to persuade Yan Yue to leave.
Someone immediately agreed, “That’s right. She was thrown to the countryside by the Bai family when she was young. Now, she suddenly returned to City A and became famous after partic.i.p.ating in a variety show. How strange is that? We’d better not get involved with such a person, lest it brings us bad luck.”
Yan Yue sneered and turned to leave.
However, she did not expect to b.u.mp into Elder Mrs. Yan who was walking over.
Elder Mrs. Yan had a kind smile on her face, but her eyes clearly showed her dissatisfaction with these people. She had heard some unpleasant discussions about Bai Lin, so she wanted to come and take a look.
These wealthy heiresses always pretended to be elegant and graceful in front of others, but they always liked to form cliques and gossip behind people’s backs. Elder Mrs. Yan was also someone who had been close to the socialite circle in the past, so she had a good understanding of the two-faced nature of these people.
Now that Yan Ruo valued Bai Lin, it was fine for these women to gossip behind people’s back; if Yan Ruo heard about it, it would probably be chaotic.
If outsiders were to hear such discussions at the Yan family’s banquet. it
would damage the Yan family’s image. Elder Mrs. Yan had listened to them for a while. She did not stop them at first because she wanted to know more about Bai Lin’s reputation.
She did not expect to hear these.
“l heard you guys mention a girl named Bai Lin? Why don’t you take me to see
As soon as Elder Mrs. Yan said this, the other young ladies did not dare to speak anymore. They only lowered their heads silently and pretended to be graceful heiresses.
They dared to speak in their cliques but did not dare to mention it in the open, so Elder Mrs. Yan already had a guess of the truth in her heart.
“That’s Miss Bai Lin. Grandma, I’ll go with you. I also want to talk to her more, but…” Yan Yue looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Elder Mrs. Yan did not respond to her. Instead, she looked in the direction Yan
Yue was pointing.
Such simple clothes?
Elder Mrs. Yan liked Bai Lin’s simple and clean style and temperament, but she also felt that it would be difficult for her to be a good wife to Yan Ruo if she did not care about the occasion and only followed her heart.
However, Bai Lin’s appearance was indeed stunning. Even without any makeup, one could tell that she was a beauty with good looks. If she had a good personality, or if there was something outstanding about her, it would not be a bad idea to keep her at home if Yan Ruo liked her.
After all, seeing such a refreshing girl once in a while after meeting so many coquettish ladies in the socialite circle who smelled of perfume really made one’s eyes light up.
When they got closer, Elder Mrs. Yan admired Bai Lin’s bearing even more.
After experiencing those unpleasant ridicules, not only did she not have any anger on her face, but she was also happy and content, as if she did not take those words to heart. This kind of unshakeable character was rarely seen in such young people.
Bai Lin quickly noticed Elder Mrs. Yan’s serious look at her.
However, there was no hostility or malice in her gaze, so Bai Lin did not react much. After all, she had been the center of attention ever since she entered the banquet hall.
“Miss Bai Lin?” Elder Mrs. Yan called out.
Yan Yue and the other heiresses around her were stunned. People who could make Elder Mrs. Yan greet them personally were either rich or influential. Which part of Bai Lin was worthy of such treatment?!
Yan Yue’s long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the darkness in her eyes.
Bai Lin, who was still studying the blueberry and orange juice, looked up when she heard her name being called.
It was a kind-looking old lady who seemed to be extremely friendly.
Her hair was white, but it was thick and l.u.s.trous. It was obvious that she had taken a good care of herself. She was wearing a modified cheongsam style dress fit for a middle-aged woman with jade earrings and bangles. There were no other fancy accessories.
Although there was a smile on her lips, her kind expression revealed a bit of authority belonging to a superior. Her back was straight, and there was no hint of elderly age, making it easy for people to see that her ident.i.ty was not simple.
Her eyes bore a slight resemblance to Yan Ruffs, and this further confirmed
Bai Lin’s guess.
This person was Yan Ruffs grandmother..
