Qin Xiu’s heart twitched when he heard this. It was still hurting.
The elders started to look forward to the couple’s great-grandchild. Ha, Xia Jinyuan was indeed a soldier. He was so efficient.
He looked at Ye Jian from the corner of his eye and saw that she was standing beside Xia Jinyuan and lowering her head because of the elder’s words. Just by looking at her side profile, one could tell that she was happy and embarrassed.
Qin Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. At some point, his clenched fists relaxed again.
‘Calm down, Qin Xiu. You’re nothing. You don’t have the right to disturb her happy life…’
He closed his eyes slightly and slowly opened them again. The young diplomat standing beside Old Madam Qin was still elegant and calm. He maintained a calm smile on his face.
Old Madam Oin, who didn’t notice anything amiss with her grandson, congratulated the old madam for finding a granddaughter-in-law. As she spoke, she was secretly observing Ye Jian.
The judgment of the domineering Old Master Qin was similar to his wife’s. However, she was a little picky about family background. She sized up Ye Jian and said kindly, “It’s rare for her to have bright eyes. She’s indeed a good child.”
There was no famous family with the surname Ye in the capital city. There was only one in Guangdong Province. However, this child’s accent was upright and didn’t have the unique tone of Guangdong Province. It was obvious that she wasn’t from that family.
Since her old friend didn’t mention her family background, she must be the daughter of an ordinary family.
That made sense. With the Xia family’s current power, they didn’t need to be picky about the girl’s family background. As long as she had a good character and was presentable, it was enough.
Looking at Ye Jian again, she couldn’t help but think that Su Rong, whom she had been secretly competing with all her life, was really lucky. So what if Ye Jian’s family background was ordinary? Her temperament and appearance were all top-notch. Just these two points were enough for people not to care about her family background.
She looked at the Xia family and saw that they were happy and harmonious. There was no unhappiness between the cousins. The sisters-in-law were also amiable and treated each other as family. Ever since she stepped into the Xia family, she could hear the laughter in the house through the screen wall. The prosperous family was the Xia family.
Old Madam Qin couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. So what if her family background was good?
There was no lack of short-sighted people with a good family background. As for her second daughter-in-law, because her uncle and brother-in-law both had good daughters-in-law from a high family background, she was trying her best to find someone with a good family background, good looks, and high talent for her grandson, Qin Xiu. She didn’t want to lose to her uncle and brother-in-law in anything. Did she really think that other people’s daughters could be picked as she wished?
Not only did she choose her grandson, but she also chose her granddaughter, Qin Ying’s, marriage. That was why her granddaughter didn’t return home all year round and went overseas. It was just because she didn’t want her mother to bother her.
She fought with Su Rong for her entire life, but in the end, Su Rong didn’t even need to fight for anything. When she was young, she was lucky. Now that she was old… her luck and blessings were better than her own.
Old Madam Qin sighed in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She smiled and said, “The more you live, the luckier you are. Why can’t my grandson find such a good granddaughter-in-law? His character and family background are not bad. Why isn’t there any change in his love life?”
Then, she said to Ye Jian, “Girl, if you know anyone, help introduce them to my grandson for my sake.”
The old madam laughed heartily. “You’re still the same as when you were young. You’re starting to have ideas about me again. If you want Ye Jian to introduce a girlfriend to your grandson, you have to queue up too. Our Old Fifth asked Ye Jian to find a girlfriend for him just now..”
