Chapter 464 Lady Jin’s Arrival and Confrontation (2)_1
It was Lady Jin’s youngest son, Li Cheng’an, who, upon entering, bounded into Old Lady Jin’s arms, babbling endearingly without end, much to Old Lady Jin’s delight.
Seeing that Old Lady Jin was unharmed, Lady Jin finally let out a sigh of relief. Glancing around the hall at the seated figures, she spotted Lin Yuan among several unfamiliar faces and asked in confusion, "This young lady is...?"
Only then did Old Lady Jin remember her manners, and, with a smile, she clapped her hands, "Oh dear, the sight of Brother An made me so happy I nearly forgot to introduce you all. This is the owner of Fuman Building, Miss Lin Yuan. Miss Lin, this is..."
"I know." Lin Yuan said with a smile as she stood up, offering a curtsy to Lady Jin. As merely the Madam County Magistrate without an imperial mandate, she wasn’t required to curtsy, but considering the favor she was about to ask for, she did so courteously, "Lin Yuan pays her respects to Madam."
"So you are the owner of Fuman Building. What a coincidence to meet you here today," observed Lady Jin sharply, noting that someone of Lin Yuan’s young age who could run Fuman Building must possess exceptional abilities.
Upon hearing that she was the owner of Fuman Building, Li Chengzhi gave Lin Yuan an extra glance. Actually, Lin Yuan was quite pretty, but like Jin Yuyu, she exuded an aura that kept people at a distance, effectively dampening any interest from a womanizer like Li Chengzhi. Thus, after a mere glance, he returned his attention to flirting with Jin Lingling.
However, Mother Li beside Lady Jin recognized Lin Yuan at once. She’d been to the Lin family hamlet quite a few times and was more than familiar with the village’s notorious Little Disaster Star. Initially, the Little Disaster Star had been on the list of potential candidates, but because of her reputation, they had ultimately chosen the better-looking Lin Siyu instead.
