Seeing Lin Jinyan looking at her, the girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly.
When the old lady saw this, her smile faded a bit and she introduced:
"An'er, Yan'er, this is your cousin's little daughter. What's her name...?"
When Zhou Yuexue saw the old lady, she didn't even remember the cheap sister's name, and her smile became more real:
"Auntie, my little sister's name is Mingzhu, Zhou Mingzhu."
When the girl heard Zhou Yuexue say her name, she tilted her eyes in Zhou Yuexue's direction impatiently. She immediately stood up with a smile, saluted Lin Siyuan and Lin Jinyan, and then said abruptly:
"Ever since her brother and sister came in, Pearl felt curious, how could there be such a good-looking person, and how could there be two such good-looking people, and they looked so similar."
After all, the old lady was soft-hearted. After hearing these words, her smile returned again:
"This girl has such a sweet mouth."
Zhou Yuexue's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said with an envious smile:
"Mingzhu is the youngest in the family. Everyone loves her. She has a sweet mouth since she was little. She always makes her dad smile."
When the old lady heard this, she saw Zhou Yuexue looking at Zhou Mingzhu with envy in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel more pity in her heart.
Lin Jinyun on the side was also very distressed. His eyes turned to Zhou's father and Zhou Mingzhu with condemnation and dissatisfaction.
Lin Jinyan raised her lips and smiled, watching the show silently.
Before leaving, while the old lady was talking to Zhou Yuexue, Lin Jinyan took off the jade pendant from her waist, stuffed it into Zhou Mingzhu's hand, rubbed her head and said with a smile:
"Sister Zhu'er, I have never heard my cousin talk about you before. I never knew that I had such a lovely sister like you. This is a meeting gift. You can come to the house to play with me when you have time."
Zhou Mingzhu was young after all, so she received the gift, and the joy in her eyes overflowed:
"Thank you, Sister Yan!"
On the carriage back to Zhou's mansion, Zhou Mingzhu took out the jade pendant and showed it to Zhou's father:
"Dad, look, Sister Yan gave it to me and asked me to come often."
Father Zhou took the jade pendant and looked it over and over:
"It looks very valuable. I heard that your dead cousin brought a dowry that covered several streets when she married into the Lin family. The things in that girl's hands must not be commonplace."
Zhou Mingzhu: "Sister Yan didn't even know there was Zhu'er before, otherwise she might have given Zhu'er many good things. Fortunately, sister said at home that she often said good things for us in front of our aunts and uncles."
Father Zhou raised the curtain behind him, glanced at the carriage behind him, and murmured:
"My daughter's family is all from a foreign surname, so they are unreliable."
When Zhou Mingzhu heard this, she pouted and stared:
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Zhou's father quickly laughed and coaxed: "My pearl is not from a foreign surname."
Listening to the laughter coming from the carriage in front, Shun'er said angrily:
"Miss, it is obvious that you have made the greatest contribution to the house, but why is the master still so obsessed with it? Knowing that the old lady does not want to see the children and the foreign wife, the young lady begged the master for a few words, but the master actually really Brought her here.”
Zhou Yuexue said mockingly: "I'm afraid dad was thinking that he wouldn't hit the smiling person during the Chinese New Year, and the Lin family couldn't do anything embarrassing. Plus Zhou Mingzhu is a child, so he brought her along."
Shun'er: "Then I can't go beyond you. You are the legitimate young lady in the house."
Zhou Yuexue: "What's the use of being a direct descendant? It depends on what family you belong to, and it's not like Lin Jinyan's good fortune."
Shun'er: "By the way, miss, Lin Li, who is beside the young master, asked me privately how you are doing in the house recently."
