Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the airport, Xiao Bao held Bo Xiao’s hand with an unhappy expression. “Daddy and Mommy aren’t bringing me.”
Bo Xiao smiled and pinched Xiao Bao’s face. “Why? Aren’t you happy living with me? Uncle Bo Xiao will be sad if you do this.”
Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks and reached out to Bo Xiao, who picked him up.
Xiao Bao kissed Bo Xiao on the cheek. “No, let me secretly tell you, Uncle Bo Xiao that actually, I like you a little more than my father.”
Bo Xiao was amused by Xiao Bao. He kissed Xiao Bao’s pink face. “You’re filled with tricks. Uncle Bo Xiao will bring you to buy toys and then go home to play with your Auntie An Rao, okay?”
“Mm!” Bo Xiao gradually resolved the unhappiness of his parents leaving.
The Jiang family’s weekly family banquet time.
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Yun. “How was your meal yesterday?”
Before Jiang Yun could speak, Jiang Kui spoke first. “Father, the second young master of the Lin family is very satisfied with Sister. He even personally brought Sister over this morning.”
Jiang Yun glanced at Jiang Kui and did not speak.
“I told your sister to say it. Why are you so nosy?” Father Jiang had also heard about Jiang Kui targeting Jiang Yun in the company. He looked at Jiang Kui in disappointment.
He really suspected that Jiang Kui and Jiang Yun’s genders had rebelled.?If only Jiang Kui had Jiang Yun’s personality.?
“Tell me.” Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun took a sip of red wine, her cold face filled with calmness. Thinking of Lin Qingdai’s gentle face, Jiang Yun nodded. “Pretty good. Anyway, isn’t my marriage always held by you, Father?”Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
Only then was Mr. Jiang satisfied. “I hope you remember what you said today. Let me tell you, the Jiang family and the Jun family are enemies. If you dare to have any thoughts about Xia Wanyuan’s younger brother, I’ll deal with you.”
Jiang Yun felt that the red wine in her mouth was tasteless. She nodded. “Got it, Father.”
Jiang Kui watched from the side, gloating. He did not forget to make a sarcastic remark. “Father, my sister has a strong personality. Don’t drag the Jun family around when you’re engaged. If you do that, where will our Jiang family’s face go?”
Jiang Yun placed the wine glass on the table with a bang. She looked at Jiang Kui coldly. “Don’t go overboard.”
However, when he heard Jiang Kui’s words, Father Jiang was deep in thought.
Hence, after dinner, Father Jiang brought Jiang Yun to the ancestral hall in the backyard.
“Father?” Looking at the room full of tablets, Jiang Yun hesitated.
Come here.” Father Jiang waved at Jiang Yun and made her stand in front of Jiang Yun’s mother’s memorial tablet.
Looking at her mother’s memorial tablet, the corners of Jiang Yun’s eyes turned red.
“Do you know how your mother died? Do you know why the Jun family and the Jiang family have an irreconcilable hatred? Back then, I suspect that your mother’s car accident was done by the Jun family.”
As soon as Father Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Yun suddenly looked at him. “How is that possible? Didn’t they say it was because the road was slippery because of the rain?”
Father Jiang reached out and threw a stack of documents in front of Jiang Yun. “It’s been so many years. Back then, the Jun family hid it well. They thought that I had already forgotten about this matter. They definitely didn’t expect that I had actually been investigating. Recently, I finally found out many things about it back then.”
Looking at the words on the information, Jiang Yun frowned.
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Yun’s expression. “You and Jiang Kui should have a warm family. You don’t have to be sent overseas so early. Our family should have lived happily. If not for the Jun family, none of this would have happened.”
Jiang Yun lowered her head. “So, what do you want me to do, Father?”
Father Jiang stared at Jiang Yun. “I want you to swear never to have anything to do with the Jun family and the Xia family. If you break the oath, your mother will never be able to live in peace in the netherworld, and you will die a horrible death.”
“Father?!” Jiang Yun nodded abruptly and met Father Jiang’s unquestionable gaze.
“Say it!!” Mr. Jiang hated the Jun family to the core. He would not allow his daughter to have anything to do with them.
Jiang Yun clenched her fists tightly. Jiang Yun, who was usually strong, her eyes were slightly red.
“If you don’t swear in front of your mother’s memorial tablet today, then you’ll never be my daughter again.” Father Jiang stared into Jiang Yun’s eyes and pointed at Jiang Yun’s mother’s memorial tablet.
Jiang Yun looked at her mother’s memorial tablet in front of her and thought of Xia Yu. She suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.
Actually, I have nothing to insist on, right??
After all, she had hurt Xia Yu so much back then. Xia Yu must have hated her to the core.
Jiang Yun hardened her heart. “I swear that I will never have anything to do with the Jun family.”
“Alright, get up.” Mr. Jiang was satisfied. “Remember what you said today.”
Jiang Yun lowered her head, thinking about something.
Father Jiang softened his attitude. “Daughter, I’m not an unreasonable person. Let me ask you, what’s the character of that Second Young Master Lin? Be honest.”
“Pretty good,” Jiang Yun said after a while.
“I handpicked your husband, of course he’s good.” Father Jiang tried to soften Jiang Yun’s attitude. “As a daughter of an aristocratic family, you have the heavy responsibility of the family’s future. I hope that you won’t let me down.”
“I understand, Father.” Jiang Yun nodded.
“Alright, go.” Only then did Father Jiang pat Jiang Yun’s shoulder in satisfaction and smile at her.
Jiang Yun walked out. In the living room, Jiang Kui looked at Jiang Yun calmly. “Sister, you’re leaving already? Aren’t you staying a while longer? You won’t have a chance to stay at home when you get married in the future.”
Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Kui coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know who’s adding fuel to the fire behind my marriage.”
“It’s only right for a brother to care about his sister.” Jiang Kui raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yun. “Sister, you don’t have to thank me.”
Jiang Yun picked up her bag and walked out.
Just as she walked out of the door, she saw a car parked not far away.
Seeing Jiang Yun come out, Lin Qingdai got out of the car and walked towards Jiang Yun. “Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Yun restrained the expression on her face and nodded at Lin Qingdai. “Just call me Jiang Yun. Didn’t I say that you don’t have to pick me up?”
Lin Qingdai’s ears flushed red. “But you’re wearing high heels, so it’s always inconvenient to drive. It’s fine. Anyway, I’m idle in Beijing.”
“Alright, thank you.” Jiang Yun smiled and got into the car.
Sensing that Jiang Yun was not in a good mood, Lin Qingdai did not speak much to her.
The car was very quiet the entire way. Only the sound of the wind hitting the window could be heard.
Lin Qingdai occasionally glanced at Jiang Yun from the rearview mirror and saw her lonely eyes.
For some reason, Lin Qingdai’s heart ached slightly when he saw her like this.
He finally sent Jiang Yun to the company.
Lin Qingdai opened the car door for Jiang Yun. “I’ll pick you up after work.”
Jiang Yun shook her head. “No need. It’s too much trouble for you.”
Lin Qingdai looked at Jiang Yun very seriously. “Originally, these words were very abrupt, but I want to say that since we’re already preparing to get engaged, I also treat you as my family. I don’t think it’s very troublesome.”
Looking at Lin Qingdai’s serious gaze, Jiang Yun could not help but look away. “Alright, as you wish.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up after work.” A smile appeared in Lin Qingdai’s eyes.
Looking at Lin Qingdai’s handsome face, Jiang Yun forced a smile before turning to leave.
——
At this moment, in Continent F, because of Lin Yi’s question, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became very silent.
Even in the darkness, Lin Yi could feel the disappointment and unhappiness on Xia Yu’s face.
She was really curious about what the girl Xia Yu liked and missed looked like, but she was not prepared to ask. After all, looking at Xia Yu, he did not intend to say anything at all.
Stone was the first to be unable to stand this silent atmosphere. He jumped out and held Xia Yu’s hand. “Brother Xia Yu, you said just now that you would treat us to delicious food. Is that true?”
Xia Yu pulled himself out of his emotions and looked down at Stone. “Of course.”
Stone shook Xia Yu’s arm. “When we leave this place, bring me and Sister Lin Yi. Let’s eat delicious food together, okay?”
Xia Yu looked up at Lin Yi. In the night, Lin Yi’s eyes were immersed in the moonlight in the desert, shining brightly and gently.
Xia Yu nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”
Exquisite embroidery flowed with a layer of water on the satin. On the wide skirt, there were auspicious clouds spread out, as prosperous as brocade.
Xia Wanyuan’s hair was tied up behind her head with a jade hairpin. Her perfect facial features were incomparably beautiful under the beautiful dress.
Xia Wanyuan was usually used to being casual. Now that she was suddenly dressed so gorgeously, Jun Shiling was momentarily speechless.
Perhaps because of Xia Wanyuan’s identity, she was especially suitable to wear ancient clothes.
Especially when she wore a dignified dress with a collar, her temperament became very special.
Although she was standing on the stairs in the Western architectural style, she had changed everything around her with her personal temperament, as if she was in a palace from a thousand years ago.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Jun Shiling was staring at her, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to take a look. “Don’t my clothes look good? I modified them and got someone to embroider two layers of clouds.”
“Very beautiful.” The shock in Jun Shiling’s eyes had not disappeared. He felt it from the bottom of his heart. “Why do I feel that I don’t get tired of you? You’re always more beautiful every time.”
Although they were already an old couple, Xia Wanyuan could not deal with Jun Shiling’s praises. Her cheeks flushed red. “Can you be more serious?”
The powder on her face happened to match the light-colored flowers on her body. At that moment, Jun Shiling seemed to see endless spring and vitality on Xia Wanyuan.
When he reacted, Jun Shiling was a little jealous. “You always have to dress so well on shows.”
Xia Wanyuan took a pillow from the side and threw it at Jun Shiling. “If you continue fooling around, I’ll go myself.”
A hint of bitterness appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes. He smiled and stood up. “Sigh, who asked me to be afraid of my wife? Let’s go, my dear wife.”
Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and walked out. Even the servants passing by were inevitably stunned by Xia Wanyuan.
At this moment, the American television station was already prepared to record a program.
During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan was considered a popular person overseas.
Knowing that she would participate in the recording of this episode, everyone was already waiting in the live-stream.
[Coming, coming, coming. Chinese netizens are here to report!!! Yuan Yuan, you can do it! You’re the best!]
[ Howl! Goddess, I love you. I’m from a very small country in Continent F, but that doesn’t stop me from being attracted to you. ]
[Hehe, thief simida, trash Xia Wanyuan, you only know how to steal from us.]
Before Xia Wanyuan appeared, the comments had already begun to argue.
The netizens on both sides were evenly matched, and the comments were overturned.
At this moment, the familiar program began.
The host sat in front of the stage. “Welcome to today’s program. I believe everyone is looking forward to it. During this period of time, a female celebrity from China has shared some Chinese videos on FINS, causing everyone to discuss fervently. Today, we invited Xia Wanyuan to the venue and asked her to share some Chinese culture with us. Everyone, welcome.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, a familiar music sounded. A figure slowly walked up from backstage.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the people in the studio were stunned.
As people from America, if they did not deliberately watch the news in China, they would not understand who Xia Wanyuan was.
This was the first time many people had seen Xia Wanyuan in person, including the host.
They looked at Xia Wanyuan’s clothes. Although they did not know what she was wearing, she looked really beautiful.
Xia Wanyuan’s perfect facial features seemed to light up the entire studio.
The host searched for a long time and finally found his voice.
“Oh my god, I think I can understand why so many people like you.”
The host approached Xia Wanyuan and smiled at her.
He even wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan.
At this moment, a cough came from the middle of the first row of the studio.
The host finally calmed down and retracted his hand that was about to hug Xia Wanyuan.
The first row in the middle was for big shots. He understood.
[Although the camera isn’t on the audience, I’m guessing blindly that this cough came from CEO Jun. Hahahaha.]
[I’m dying of laughter. CEO Jun, I’m already sitting here. How dare you hug my wife? Are you tired of living?]
[The host still doesn’t know that he has just brushed past death, 233,333.]
On the stage, the host brought Xia Wanyuan to sit down. “Do you know? During this period of time, your video has caused a heated discussion on FINS. Many netizens are interested in the video you posted. Can you communicate with us and tell us why you did this?”
The host used english, and Xia Wanyuan replied in extremely fluent english. The translator the production team had specially prepared for her was completely useless.
Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big screen behind the host. “It’s mainly because I like it. I brought some photos and videos. We can take a look together.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan began to explain the various materials she used to make these videos.
Although Xia Wanyuan was talking about the lantern festival, she had mastered it and mentioned all aspects of China.
Xia Wanyuan sat there demurely, her body exuding an obvious classical aura that even foreigners could feel.
However, she spoke fluent English again and spoke confidently to the people in the studio. The content she spoke involved all aspects of politics, economics, culture, and society, as if there was nothing she could not do.
The host’s eyes lit up at the side.
He had been a host for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Wanyuan. She made one feel as if the sea contained all rivers.
The host asked Xia Wanyuan according to the established question. At this moment, he admired Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of his heart.
Many foreign people did not know China well, and they did not have any channels to understand it in the past.
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was standing in front of them.
The impression Xia Wanyuan gave them was that of China to a certain extent.
Hence, in the hearts of many viewers who did not know China, they subconsciously labeled China.
For example, history, beauty, atmosphere, classical, and the hundred rivers.
These were all extracted from Xia Wanyuan.
[Are all the girls in China so beautiful? I’m so curious. What kind of place will have such a woman? I’ve decided to go to China next summer.]
[To be honest, my impression of China is still of those old movies where people roll up their pants and plant seedlings in the mud. However, Xia Wanyuan seems to be telling me that my impression is actually wrong.]
[ Wow, I’m so touched. Xia Wanyuan has really made us proud. This is the most magnanimous woman nurtured by my deep Chinese culture. Oh my god, I love my goddess too much. ]
The audience in the live-stream kept increasing.
The program also reached the media interview segment.
The host looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with approval for her. “Other than the audience being very curious about you, many media reporters also want to communicate with you. Next is the media interview segment. Do you need an interpreter?”
Xia Wanyuan shook her head. Jun Shiling knew more than ten common foreign languages and would usually teach her.
In addition, Xia Wanyuan’s learning ability was strong enough. Hence, the current Xia Wanyuan was no longer an old antique who could not even understand Xiao Bao’s English textbooks when she first arrived.
“Alright, then please start asking questions.”
At this moment, many reporters were sitting in the audience. Everyone fought to ask Xia Wanyuan questions.
Many reporters came here to obtain explosive news.
Hence, these reporters’ questions were not as gentle as the host’s. Many of them had strange hostility.
The second question was from a reporter from Country Han.
The current Xia Wanyuan was probably ranked in the top three in Han Country.
After all, if not for Xia Wanyuan’s video, Country Han’s Lantern Festival would have been successfully applied.
In addition, because of Xia Wanyuan’s existence, many Chinese netizens went to the foreign website to argue with Country Han’s netizens, causing the public opinion of Country Han and China to reach a very intense moment of conflict.
This reporter naturally hated Xia Wanyuan very much. She looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan. “Miss Xia, I want to ask you. The clothes you’re wearing seem to be a little similar to our Han Country’s traditional clothes. Do you like our Han Country’s traditional clothes?”
Hearing this question, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.
This reporter’s question was actually very ingenious. She had even dug a hole for Xia Wanyuan.
If it were anyone else, they might be in a dilemma, but Xia Wanyuan was very calm.
She glanced at the reporter. “I do like it.”
Just as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan smiled. “After all, I like Chinese traditional clothes.”
