Chapter 2707: Going to the manor
Very well, lets invite her to our manor then! I dont want to go back there again. Xie Yutang turned to face Feng Jiu. What are your thoughts? Is this alright?
Whatever you decide is fine with me. She was just the person she met once and didnt pay much attention to. If the beautiful woman hadnt mentioned it today, she would have forgotten that such a person existed.
Alright, lets do it this way! Xie Yutang said, then came up to his mother and took out the gift. Mother, this is the birthday gift I bought for you.
Me, too. Me, too. Mother, I bought you some jewellery! Xie s.h.i.+si said with a smile, handing her the gift.
The beautiful woman smiled with joy when she heard this. It is not my birthday yet. Why are you in such a hurry to give me the gifts? She took the gifts and put them away.
Why dont you open it and see if you like it, Mother? Xie s.h.i.+si asked because her mother had not opened the gifts.
Mother likes whatever you give. Ill open them once I return to my room. The beautiful woman smiled as she looked at her daughter. Didnt you say that it was jewellery? When I get back to my room, Ill try it in front of the mirror.
Then I go back to the room with Mother. Xie s.h.i.+si took her hand.
Ill go back first. Feng Jiu said and then left.
The Xie siblings stayed with the beautiful woman and helped her prepare for her birthday banquet.
Two days later, early in the morning.
The house was buzzing with activity from the moment the sun rose because today was the beautiful womans birthday banquet. In the morning, the guests began to arrive one by one. The younger generations of the Xie ancestral home came at Xie Yutangs invitation.
One could say that most of the people who came today were youngsters. Only a handful of them were Madams who brought their kids.
The beautiful woman simply wanted a lively atmosphere to entertain her children, so she invited everyone she knew. There were a few members of the Xie family present, in addition to one or two madams from outside the manor.
Xie Yutang and Xie s.h.i.+si fulfilled their mothers request by taking care of the guests today, but Feng Jiu had not been seen.
With the arrival of guests came the Ruan familys Fourth Miss. Xie Yutang was surprised to see the Ruan familys Third Miss following her. Not only Xie Yutang, but also Xie s.h.i.+si, looked unhappy when they saw the Third Miss.
Its really you, Big Brother Xie. Ruan Ruyuns face lit up with delight when she saw Xie Yutang. She approached him smiling; as if she were familiar with him. Big Brother Xie, wheres that Brother? She looked around but was unable to find the azure-clad young man.
Xie Yutang observed her with amazement. The terrifying mark on the girls face that had startled him in the bamboo forest had disappeared. Her entire face was as smooth as jade and her exquisite facial features made her look like a completely different person.
The only difference was that the girl in the bamboo forest had felt inferior because of her appearance, whereas todays Ruan Ruyun radiated vigour and showed no sign of low self-esteem.
Perhaps this was what made him feel so different. After all, he wouldnt have believed that a person could change so much in just a few days if he hadnt seen it with his own eyes.
Please come in! Little Jiu still has not shown up. Xie Yutang said and then asked his sister to take them in.
Please come inside and take a seat for a moment! Xie s.h.i.+si said as she led them inside.
