The Jung Ma had already forced her to the door, and it seemed like Gong Hetian had to invite her here, as though they were already fully prepared. Xia Yu sighed, she could not say that she was feeling unwell, so even if there was something, it could only be delayed a little. She could only change her clothes and follow the Jung Ma.
There was a luxurious car parked in front of the apartment.
"Miss Xia, please."
"About that …" Xia Yu opened his mouth and looked at Jung Ma, saying, "If you don't mind, just call me Xia Yu, no need to shout so loudly." When she saw Jung Ma, she felt a sense of familiarity and affection. After all, she had been in contact with her for three years as if she was her real family, and now that she suddenly saw Jung Ma, she was very happy in her heart.
And right now, the Jung Ma's face was starting to turn cold, but her heart was still warm, and she didn't know how to express it. Xia Yu knew this very well.
Jung Ma just glanced at Xia Yu indifferently, and did not say much, but there was a change in her heart. She finally understood why the Old Master Gong was so satisfied with the lady in front of her. She was different from the other children of the aristocratic families, she would not use her status to be arrogant, and would not let herself fall to such a low level situation. She was so kind and so gentle, and she was indeed a good child that was hard to come by.
Xia Yu was not aware of the changes in Jung Ma's heart. She sat in the carriage and watched it slowly move forward.
Dinner in Gong Jia in the morning, it seemed like she would have to endure some of it.
… ….
After a while, the car stopped in front of Palace Villa.
Palace Villa was a quiet and secluded place in the center of the city. The villa was divided into three stories, and looked gorgeous on the outside. Furthermore, the garden and fountain were all kept in place, and did not look too ostentatious. In her previous life, she frequently came to this place. Although she and Gong Qin had left together after she got married, she frequently came here to visit the Old Master Gong during festivals or holidays.
"Miss Xia, this way please." The Jung Ma said.
Just now, Xia Yu was staring at it in a daze, thinking that she was lamenting about the beauty of the place, but she did not know that she was reminiscing about the past.
Xia Yu calmed her emotions and turned over, looking at the villa.
The two of them walked in, one following the other. When they finally stepped into this place, Xia Yu actually felt a bit nervous, she was about to see that woman again, Gong Qin's mother, Hua Rong. She was an extremely noble woman. She came from a noble family, had high knowledge, and was also very generous and appropriate. She was a rare and powerful person. But because of her, she saw Ming Ruowei as her daughter-in-law, and did not even put Xia Yu in her eyes.
Adding on Xia Yu's illegitimate daughter's background, her education, behavior, and everything else, she was not satisfied at all. Hence, the distance between the two of them became larger and larger.
No matter how hard Xia Yu tried, he couldn't get her to fall in love.
Hua Rong said as she kept her mouth shut. How come you can't even do such a thing?!
Every time she was compared with Ming Ruowei, demoted her to a useless person, and even wanted to bully her. She clearly knew of the relationship between Ming Ruowei and Gong Qin, but she would always pretend not to see it, and turn a blind eye. If Ming Ruowei was pregnant, then that would be even better.
"..." Xia Yu's expression became gloomy, and when she thought about it, she felt a bit depressed, and did not know how to express it.
"Madam." Jung Ma walked over and asked.
Hua Rong looked up, and after seeing Xia Yu, she sized her up before asking, "She is the young miss of the Xia Clan?"
"Yes."
"Hello, feel free to take a seat." Hua Rong immediately said, pointing to the sofa in front of her, she smiled, then walked over and sat down. In front of Hua Rong, she had unknowingly turned into such a tense state, sitting upright and upright. Her etiquette was to the point of being complete, just like how she had trained countless times in her previous life, in order to curry favor with Hua Rong … All that she had done.
Hua Rong liked people with etiquette. She valued people's cultivation the most, and could tell this from a person's actions.
"Does Miss Xia like tea?"
Hua Rong brewed a pot of tea, she made tea for others and liked it.
She placed the brewed tea in front of Xia Yu, who picked up the teacup and smelled it first, followed by the clear, bitter and sweet taste of the soup, turning around at the tip of his tongue. After just one sip, she said softly, "It's the spring of the spring from Taihu Lake, top grade." She smiled and looked at Hua Rong.
Hua Rong was a little surprised, she never thought that she would be able to taste the tea within one mouthful, and even guess the origin of the tea.
In his previous life, Xia Yu had also trained hard in the art of tea, but because of a single sentence from Hua Rong, it was not enough to show off, so everything about her was rejected. However, this kind of learning was already deeply rooted. With her sense of taste and extraordinary memory, she could quickly distinguish what it was.
"Miss Xia has good insights into the Way of Tea..."
"Just a little bit." Xia Yu was neither humble nor stupid, she indifferently talked with Hua Rong. Hua Rong had heard that Xia Yu was the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family, and that she had not received any recognition before. As a result, she thought highly of her birth, and thus had a prejudice against Xia Yu. She had not expected to see her again today, and felt that her every action was extremely graceful, not like an illegitimate daughter, but more like she had received a good education … It suited her very well.
She, who was usually so picky, felt that Xia Yu's lack of an appearance was actually very compatible with her heart.
"..." Hua Rong could not help but look at Xia Yu two more times.
Right at this moment, hearty laughter sounded out. "Xia Yu, you're here? "Don't be so formal, treating this place like your own home. It's just a simple meal!" Gong Hetian walked over, and after seeing Xia Yu, she couldn't help but smile.
Xia Yu lifted her face to look at Gong Hetian, and her heart felt warm as well.
"Dad …" Seeing that Gong Hetian had arrived, Hua Rong did not pressure anyone as he sat down and stepped aside.
"When will Qin Er return?"
Gong Hetian immediately asked, as expected his goal was this, to let Xia Yu and Gong Qin meet each other. Xia Yu's expression froze. If she was allowed to eat with her, she would probably have indigestion.
"He should be arriving soon..." Hua Rong understood Gong Hetian's thoughts, he suddenly called for a young girl to come to his house, and even told him to definitely bring Gong Qin back, and his only thought was to make a match for two people. On the surface, Hua Rong did not reveal it, but in truth, his heart was a little uncomfortable. No matter how outstanding the Xia Yu in front of him was, compared to the Ming Ruowei she had faith in, it was still too lacking …
Her emotionless lower eyebrows indicated that she was feeling a little uncomfortable.
When Xia Yu saw this, she could only let out a bitter laugh. She had never thought of becoming the grandson of the Gong Jia s …
