Zhong Yunxi knocked on the door, and then heard Lu Qin call her in. She entered Lu Qin's room and a sweet smell came out, it was a very fresh smell of gardenia.
So it turns out that Lu Qin was researching new perfume in her room. Tang Family was a perfume family, and had a world-famous perfume brand name, while Lu Qin was a top-notch perfume appraiser.
When Lu Qin still wasn't married to Tang Sihan, her reputation in the Aroma Realm was already very high, but ever since she married to the Tang Family Lord, she had wholeheartedly helped her husband manage his family business, and never heard of Lu Qin again.
However, none of the things that Lu Qin did were met with any concern. Tang Sihan had never seen her make any sacrifices, so he gave up on the cause that he loved.
Zhong Yunxi walked into Lu Qin's room and saw that she was wearing a pair of gloves and was researching a new type of perfume in a specially designed room. The table was filled with bottles of perfume.
Seeing Zhong Yunxi's arrival, Lu Qin indicated for her to sit on the chair by the side and continued working.
When she sat down, Zhong Yunxi also seriously watched Lu Qin concoct perfume. She admired Lu Qin's technique in her heart, and was extremely proficient in it.
Even though her reputation in the outside world was hidden, she still did not give up on her hobby of cooking incense. Zhong Yunxi, who had always been interested in this area, admired Lu Qin very much.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Qin asked Zhong Yunxi who was at the side as she moved her hands.
Hearing Lu Qin's words, Zhong Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but quickly recovered to normal. She looked at Lu Qin who was still busy, and said: "I want to return to Zhong Family tomorrow."
Because Zhong Yunxi had been with her for the past few days, and knew her temperament, Lu Qin did not like others to play tricks in front of her.
Hearing Zhong Yunxi's words, Lu Qin's hand paused for a moment, but very quickly she continued to work on the incense, and only gave a sparse, ordinary reply:
"Mm, I'll do it if I want to, but clean up."
Lu Qin readily agreed to it, which made Zhong Yunxi very surprised. It had not been when she had been conflicted outside for so long, Lu Qin had actually agreed to Zhong Yunxi's request so easily.
From the corner of her eyes, Lu Qin saw Zhong Yunxi sitting there foolishly, and she secretly shook her head. This girl was still as silly as ever, she didn't have a single glance at him.
But she really liked it, at least Zhong Yunxi had principles when dealing with others, when did she start to change her opinion of her? It seemed to be that time when Zhong Yunxi had rejected her other gift on the carriage, perhaps even earlier.
"Well, let's see how's my new perfume!"
Lu Qin took the perfume that she had just brewed and handed it over to Zhong Yunxi. Previously, Zhong Yunxi had commented on how Tang Ze Yu would concoct the perfume for Yun Xi and was very interested in it.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get this girl, Zhong Yunxi, to comment on her new perfume. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that Zhong Yunxi would give her an unexpected surprise.
"Uh, okay." Looking at the perfume Lu Qin handed to her, Zhong Yunxi felt a baffled feeling in her heart. As a high level perfume appraiser, he actually let her, a little shrimp, to evaluate it.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. Ordinary people couldn't make an objective judgement on their own things. Thus, it was only right for outsiders to take a look at them.
He took the perfume bottle and poured a drop of perfume on her fingertip. The fragrance that came from the air stimulated her sense of smell, causing her brain to react quickly.
"The fresh rose flavors from the front, the gardenia from the middle, and the evening incense from the back create a pleasant fragrance. The fragrance of the flowers makes one think of the gardenia in full bloom in the summer, it is beautiful and enchanting."
Zhong Yunxi had always been sensitive to fragrance, and had even chosen to take the courses in this area in university, so Lu Qin asked her to appraise this perfume for him, allowing him to explain everything slowly.
never thought that Zhong Yunxi's evaluation would be this good. Although it was not very professional, but to be able to tell that it was the main flower essence type within the perfume was already very amazing.
"You've learned how to identify perfume?"
"I've only studied this kind of knowledge in university." Zhong Yunxi honestly answered Lu Qin's question. Actually she was very interested in things related to smell.
Of course, perfume was the first choice because it represented fragrance. She, who had always had a keen nose, enjoyed the process of distinguishing the ingredients in the perfume.
On the other side, when Lu Qin heard Zhong Yunxi's answer, a light flashed across her eyes. This was because Lu Qin had not gone through a professional learning experience, and was able to discern the fragrance of flowers.
Did she overlook this girl in the past? Today's discovery had truly surprised her, and she suddenly remembered that Zhong Yunxi had come to the Tang Group to test her.
"What was the position you used to come to Tang Group for?"
It was unknown why Lu Qin asked such a question. Maybe in this industry, she had some unique feelings for some talented people.
Uh, Zhong Yunxi never thought that Lu Qin would actually ask this question today. This was probably the day that Zhong Yunxi didn't want to remember the most, the day she went to the Tang Group for an interview, where her entire life would be turned upside down.
Seeing Lu Qin's interested look, Zhong Yunxi secretly sighed and slowly said: "Previously, I wanted to compete for the position of an apprentice designer."
Hearing her answer, Lu Qin nodded her head, because the information she had gathered regarding Zhong Yunxi indicated that she was a designer.
"I already promised you that I would give you a position in the Tang Group. Maybe you can take a position in one of the Perfume Company s under us, Ze Yu established this position all by himself!"
After saying that, Lu Qin proudly raised her head and looked at the photo on the wall. Her eyes were filled with gentleness, and it could be said that Lu Qin was one hundred percent satisfied with her son.
The sudden explanation moved Zhong Yunxi, because this was also the place she wanted to go the most.
It could be said to be the palace of her dreams. She used to look forward to it, but now that she had the chance, she wouldn't be as happy as before, only more bitter.
"After you and Ze Yu's marriage is over, go report to him. After all, he's your husband, so he'll definitely take special care of you." After Lu Qin finished speaking, she did not forget to wink mischievously at Zhong Yunxi.
Zhong Yunxi —, she had never seen Lu Qin speak to her like this before. It gave her a very intimate feeling, and made her suppressed mood improve a little.
"Oh, right!" Zhong Yunxi and Lu Qin were talking, but suddenly, Lu Qin seemed to have thought of something and anxiously went to the drawer to look for something.
Lu Qin took out a red and gold card from the drawer, and after taking it out, she closed the drawer and went in front of Zhong Yunxi.
It was an invitation to 'Yun Xi' and Tang Zeyu to get married, the exquisite design displaying the Tang Family's unique taste.
Seeing the invitation letter, Zhong Yunxi did not feel the need to receive it. She looked at Lu Qin with suspicion, why would she give her an invitation letter?
No matter what, this is the first time in your life that you have married. How can you not have any real family members, this is something I specially prepared for you.
Lu Qin smiled as she explained the use of the invitation letter to Zhong Yunxi. Even though Zhong Yunxi had married into the Tang Family in Yun Xi's place, this was still her first time getting married.
Although Zhong Yunxi was a substitute marriage, she had long treated her as her daughter-in-law, which was why she made this gesture of goodwill.
"Thank you." Both of Zhong Yunxi's hands trembled as she received the invitation letter. For some inexplicable reason, she felt touched, did not know what to say, and finally opened her mouth to speak.
When Zhong Yunxi walked out of Lu Qin's room, she had not yet recovered from her panic, and thus did not pay attention when she accidentally bumped into someone.
"You don't know how to walk!"
Qin Yaru's face darkened as she looked coldly at the reckless person in front of him, but Zhong Yunxi had yet to react.
"I never thought that Tang Family's future Eldest Young Lady would be so rude. Even if they bumped into each other, I don't know how to apologize!"
Hearing Qin Yaru's words, Zhong Yunxi finally regained her senses. Seeing the person pointing at her, she frowned.
Sighing lightly in his heart, he apologized to Qin Yaru:
"Auntie Qin is sorry, I was a little distracted just now, I didn't see you."
Although her tone was full of sincerity, it did not get Qin Yaru to forgive her. On the contrary, she was misunderstood.
Because Zhong Yunxi and Lu Qin had been very close recently, Qin Yaru had long regarded Zhong Yunxi as one of the people there. Today, this girl must have deliberately made things difficult for her, in order to humiliate her.
Although Qin Yaru was not Tang Family, she was still Zhong Yunxi's elder. Even though she was already a Eldest Young Lady who had risen to Tang Family, she was still a fake.
If he did not give Zhong Yunxi any color today, then from today onwards, he would not be able to keep his nose to the sky. Qin Yaru's face was ashen, no longer as gentle as water and as understanding as before.
"Don't forget your status. You even dare to brandish your blade and use your spear in front of me. What a joke."
The sarcastic laughter, as well as the piercing words that came out of Qin Yaru's mouth, had all been lifted up to show her disdain towards Zhong Yunxi.
Zhong Yunxi never thought that she would say such words from Qin Yaru's mouth. Normally when she was arguing with Lu Qin, she would restrain herself a little, but today, she did not hide anything in front of Zhong Yunxi.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Yunxi looked at Qin Yaru who was standing opposite of him and faintly said:
"I'm sorry, Auntie Qin, but I really didn't see the road ahead today. This was my mistake, and I have to always remember my identity."
As soon as Zhong Yunxi finished this sentence, she wanted to leave and not argue with Qin Yaru, but just as she was about to step out, she was pulled back fiercely by Qin Yaru.
Since she was not paying attention, this sudden tug caused Zhong Yunxi to fall against the wall of the corridor. With a loud bang, she crashed into the wall, causing her to grind her teeth in pain.
Raising her head to look at Qin Yaru, Zhong Yunxi's eyes gradually turned cold. She did not want to get entangled with others, but that did not mean that she could be easily bullied.
"Yo, I was careless, too. Why weren't you careful!"
Qin Yaru looked at Zhong Yunxi, who had fallen into a corner. She laughed with satisfaction, feeling that the person who had schemed against him had yet to be born.
This Little girl who hadn't even grown hair yet actually dared to fight against her.
