Chapter 699 - 214: Vanquishing_5
Her gaze was gentle and clear, radiantly captivating, but it always felt as if separated by a layer of something. If her engagement was announced to herself before they had a heart-to-heart, how would Miss Jiang the Second react?
Yin Zhili always felt that Miss Jiang the Second would probably not be very pleased.
...
June the twenty-ninth was the birthday of Jiang Family’s Second Miss.
In the early morning, Jiang Li received various congratulatory gifts sent by Jiang family members. They were all either clothes and jewelry, or gold and silver. Ye Mingyu also had someone send something over, which was a silver note, telling Jiang Li to buy whatever she wanted. Xue Huaiyuan had painted a picture and sent it over; Jiang Li cherished it greatly and hung it on the wall of the study. Her father’s painting still looked as before, but it made her much happier than the gold and silver jewelry.
She couldn’t go to Ye Residence today because there were guests in the house, and this guest was Yin Zhili.
By now, the intentions of the Yin Household were clear, and Jiang Li’s advising had not had any effect on the Jiang Family. It seemed that the Jiang family members believed the Yin Household was indeed a good choice for marriage, and there was nothing to criticize about Yin Zhili himself. Although Jiang Li was resisting now, with time, she would naturally discover his strengths and slowly cease to reject him.
"What would you like to wear today, miss?" Tonger asked.
"Then just this one," replied Jiang Li, pointing at random to one of the pieces. Bai Xue hesitated, watching. The clothing was fine for everyday wear, but on such a day, it seemed rather plain. However, Jiang Li showed no desire to change her mind, so Tonger nudged Bai Xue, "What the miss says to wear, we should just wear; she has her own ideas."
Tonger was wholeheartedly considering Jiang Li’s feelings, noticing that Jiang Li had been unhappy these days because of the Yin Household’s matter. If wearing something could make their young lady even slightly happier, even if Jiang Li said she wanted to wear the monk’s robe from the Green City Mountain’s Nunnery, Tonger wouldn’t stop her.
Nothing was more important than happiness.
