Chapter 116 No wonder Xie Jiyan disregards ethics
Saturday, morning.
Jinli carefully prepared a gift, which was loaded into the trunk by the Xie family's driver, and they set off for Wei Xueling's Guzheng Workshop.
What she gave was a rare wooden money tree, with its branches adorned with gorgeous and expensive Australian white pearls.
She picked it from Xie Jiyan's collection room.
Anyway, he said you can take whatever you like.
"Lili," Wei Xueling was still as intellectual and elegant as ever. She wore a red velvet dress and personally greeted the distinguished guests outside the market. When she saw Jinli getting out of the car from a distance, she waved at her.
Today's opening ceremony is in the form of a banquet.
Jinli also put on a dress.
The pure hand-embroidered silk satin shimmers with the galaxy's pearlescent light, swaying with every step, stunning everyone.
Although she was young, her delicate facial features and proud body proportions made her look like a beautiful design carefully carved by the goddess Nuwa, so beautiful and flamboyant that it was excessively gorgeous.
It was inevitable that some people were whispering among themselves.
"She looks so charming, no wonder Xie Jiyan would disregard ethics and compete with his nephew for a woman."
"Well, I'm a woman, and I'm moved just by looking at him, not to mention Xie Jiyan. What's more, they live under the same roof day and night, who can control themselves?"
"So I was wondering, no wonder he wasn't interested in a beauty like Xue Ling. It turns out that his spirit was sucked away by the little vixen at home."
These words were irrelevant and Jin Li did not hear them. She was chatting with Wei Xueling at the moment.
"Sister Xueling, congratulations on your successful opening of your business. May you continue to prosper and pursue your life dreams."
"Thank you, Lili." Wei Xueling hugged her with true feelings: "Of all the blessings today, I like yours the most."
From childhood to adulthood, she could only live according to the blueprint planned by her family and never really lived out her own life. Now she no longer wants to accept the family's arranged marriage.
She already has her own new pursuits and goals.
"I'm so happy that you can come today." She took Jinli's hand and walked to the second floor of the Guzheng Workshop: "I have something I want to talk to you privately."
"what's up?"
Jinli followed her into a tea room.
Wei Xueling opened a glass cabinet door, took out an exquisite black velvet gift box, and stuffed it into her hand: "I still want to give you this pair of pear blossom earrings. I wish you and Xie Jiyan a happy wedding."
Jin Li was stunned for a moment. It was the pair of earrings that Wei Xueling wanted to give her when she invited her to the Ladies Club.
"You know, Lili. I actually lied to you." Wei Xueling said suddenly again.
"what?"
Jinli was a little confused by her.
Wei Xueling led her to sit on a chair, and then slowly said: "This lie has been bothering me and it's very uncomfortable. I want to get it out of my mind. And maybe you don't care. But I don't want it to become a small stain in my life. After all, I have met someone I really like."
"Hmm? You have someone you like?"
"Yeah." Wei Xueling picked up the teapot and brewed her a cup of tea: "Emotions are really amazing. I used to think that I would only like Xie Jiyan in my life, until I met Professor Jiang, and then I realized that the world does not need harmony, and can also compose other music."
"Professor Jiang? Which Professor Jiang?" Jin Li felt that he was ignorant.
"You may not know him. But you should know his sister." "His sister?"
"Jiang Yutan." Wei Xueling's beautiful eyes were filled with sweetness: "Her fifth brother is the youngest and most promising medical professor in the imperial capital, Jiang Moqi."
"Although he likes to hold a scalpel, which looks a bit bloody, I am inexplicably fascinated by him."
"As for Xie Jiyan, he likes calligraphy and Chinese painting, and I like them too. But perhaps two people who are too similar together would be more boring. This may be one of the reasons why he doesn't like me. In addition, he loves you too much, so no one can catch his eye. You are really lucky, Lili."
"For you, he ignored the world's eyes and wanted to marry you. I am still very envious of him."
She said a lot in one breath, and Jinli drank the fragrant tea slowly, still unable to digest it.
"But, to be honest, I am just envious now. It's not like at the beginning when I was jealous and made up such a shameful lie."
Jinli's eyes moved slightly, and he paused to drink his tea, waiting for her to continue.
Wei Xueling seemed ashamed: "Speak out, don't laugh at me. In fact, the pear blossom jade hairpin that Xie Jiyan gave you was not a souvenir. There is only one such hairpin in the world, and he spent 50 million to buy it and gave it to you."
"Only people who went to the auction knew about this. My father also went there that day and told me about it. He said that the pear blossom hairpin would only be sold for three million at most. But that didn't stop these young and wealthy young men from aristocratic families from spending a fortune just to win the smile of a beautiful woman. Even though it was a charity auction, no one was doing this and disrupting the order of the collection circle like they did."
"So that day, when I saw the jade hairpin on your head, I was so jealous that I was beyond recognition. It was the first time that I said something so irrational. I even wanted to have someone make a fake hairpin to cover up my lie."
"But no matter how similar a fake is, it's still just a fake. I'm the daughter of a noble family after all, how can I use a fake? Don't you think so? So I gave up the idea."
"It's just that this matter has always been like a thorn in my heart. I want to tell you everything, otherwise, I feel cheap and unworthy of Jiang Moqi."
"Don't think too much, Sister Xueling. If it were me, I would be jealous too." She was indeed secretly jealous at that time. Who could really be so saintly?
"Thank you, Lili. Can we be good sisters for the rest of our lives?"
She has changed Jinli's nickname to "Li Meime".
Jin Li chuckled and nodded: "Okay..."
Just as she finished answering, a little assistant knocked on the door: "Sister Xueling, Professor Jiang sent someone to deliver 999 roses and asked you to come downstairs to sign for them."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Wei Xueling couldn't hide her joy on her face, and said to Jin Li, "Li Li, sit down for a while, I'll be back soon."
"It's okay. I'll go outside to take a look. You just go ahead and do your thing."
"Well, go to the banquet hall downstairs and have something to eat."
"Ah."
Jinli went downstairs with her.
Wei Xueling walked quickly outside to sign for the bouquet.
She leaned against a guzheng, took out a cell phone from her pearly evening bag, and called the Xie family's driver to ask whether the money tree had been moved in.
The Xie family’s driver said that they had moved in and were in the process of registering their names.
Jinli estimated that once her name was registered, she could go home.
But at this time.
There was a very harsh and sarcastic sound coming from the audience.
They should be Wei Xueling’s sisters.
The woman in the blue dress started the conversation first, saying sarcastically, "She is Hua Shuang's cousin, right? Last time, she caused Hua Shuang to break her leg, and this time, she caused Xie Ji Yan to lose ten thousand acres of rice fields. She is really an unlucky star. I don't know what Xue Ling was thinking. Why did she invite her? It's unlucky to see her!"
