Chapter 297 - 298: Short Dinner-V
Li Lian entered to see Mrs. Jin and Jin Nu Yuan had seated themselves on the seat. Meeting Mrs. Jin’s eyes, Li Lian received her smile in which she returned. Li Lian doesn’t know how much Madam Li believes in Mrs. Jin and now she is about to find out how Mrs. Jin is treated with the family. To see that Madam Li welcomed Mrs. Jin well in the family despite the fact that their relationship was aunt and niece, she could faintly guess there was a large trust Madam Li had for Mrs. Jin that hadn’t come from nothing.
Mrs. Jin never forget to visit Madam Li so much to where she often stayed at Li Family house more than her own house. As she often beside Madam Li, Mrs. Jin had found her way to be the person who Madam Li most confided herself in.
When Li Lian’s eyes shifted to Jin Nu Yuan, she felt the young lady glared at her, thinking Li Jun Wei didn’t see her when in truth his eyes watched his cousin foolish behavior like a drunk duck she was acting as.
"Li Lian must be very pretty today to you, Nu Yuan." Li Jun Wei remarked, his eyes falling short of emotions at his younger cousin.
Jin Nu Yuan crooked her brows, her mouth slightly opened oddly and her lips somewhat fell as she tried to bring it up in a few times, "W-What?" Was Li Jun Wei asking her of her opinion in whether she agreed that Li Lian was beautiful? Jin Nu Yuan’s hand under the table clench tightened. Her brows furrowed when she looked at Li Lian not wanting to look obviously that her eyes looking at her was with disgust and anger.
Jin Nu Yuan swore over her death body that she will ever call Li Lian beautiful. The woman looked nothing less than a chicken! Jin Nu Yuan ground her lips.
"Nu Yuan." called Li Jun Wei lazily and when Jin Nu Yuan was about humph and vocalized her distaste to praise Li Lian as beautiful her mother, Mrs. Jin caught a hold of her hand and her fingers sank on her skin to remind her and stop her foolishness.
Jin Nu Yuan ground her teeth in anger. She would rather call piglet beautiful than Li Lian. To know that now Li Lian is in a higher position than her in the house and that they were family made her blood curl, her fists turned firmer. Mrs. Jin raise her brows at her daughter, tipping her chin to force Jin Nu Yuan speak, "yes." she replied her voice turned small in volume like that of a mouse’s.
"Yes, as in beautiful? Or yes as you hear me speaking." Li Jun Wei could be as petty as he want when Li Lian is mentioned, he wouldn’t let Jin Nu Yuan to use her eyes an glare on what she should not.
