Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Bringing Her Back to Xiao Family (4)

Looking at the flower decorations on these sisters’ heads, likely bought together, Lin Yishan wondered whether they knew they were about to become competitors.

According to what she had heard from her stepmother, Grandma Xiao intended to invite the son from the Ou Family. As for which of the three great-granddaughters excelled enough to win the favor of the Ou family’s only son, that was a matter of pure skill.

Kang Yueting was younger and seemed more demure, Zhu Jiayin, like her mother, had always been brash from a young age and had studied abroad, where the mindset was more liberal; many people secretly speculated whether this young lady had multiple boyfriends overseas.

So when Xiao Shuzhu had eloped with a man back then, it was with a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner. When Xiao Shuzhu was young, twenty-something years old, she was with the foreigner, who was forty years old.

If it weren’t for the fact that this foreigner, albeit old, owned his own villas and estates overseas and was undeniably a wealthy foreigner, Grandma Xiao would have forced Xiao Shuzhu to abort the child rather than allowing her to ’board the train first and buy the ticket later,’ going overseas with her husband to officially register and have children.

Lin Yishan looked around the venue, not remembering having seen this foreign uncle since she entered. This foreign uncle was said to have one quarter Chinese blood, hence inherited the Chinese surname Zhu, and was given the beautiful Chinese name, Zhu Minxuan.

Gauging what Lin Yishan might be looking for, Zhu Jiayin explained, "My dad is at home taking care of the kids, Anthony caught a slight cold and it’s inconvenient to take a plane back to China."

Anthony was the plump young boy Xiao Shuzhu had with her foreign husband many years later, having just turned five this year.

The reason for having another child after so long was that the foreigner and Xiao Shuzhu didn’t want to put pressure on their older daughter. Inheritance abroad did not discriminate by gender, but ultimately, foreigners still tended to prefer sons to inherit the family business.

Therefore, it was best to wait until the daughter was older and married off to a good husband, naturally, she would not be jealous of her younger brother.

Lin Yishan asked, "Did you come with just your mom?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know what Grandma is trying to do by hosting this birthday celebration?"

"I know. It’s to find a husband for our elder cousin," Zhu Jiayin replied without a second thought.

Zhao Mengjin, the daughter of Xiao Shumei, was a legitimate great-granddaughter of the Xiao family. By age, indeed, if Kang Yueting and Zhu Jiayin were to marry and have children, it must be after Zhao Mengjin.

A good man, according to Grandma Xiao’s traditional practice, needed to be chosen by Zhao Mengjin first.

It seemed that for this helpless Chinese custom, Zhu Jiayin didn’t care at all. It’s fair to say that children who grow up abroad and daughters raised in China are indeed different.

Compared to Zhu Jiayin’s indifferent demeanor, Kang Yueting was much quieter and had been silent the whole time.

Lin Yishan could guess who had put the pressure on Kang Yueting, after all, it was Xiao Shulan, Yueting’s mother, who first brought up the matter of the young master of the Ou family on the first day.

Standing aside, Su Yixia observed the group of Xiao sisters gathered together discussing. She really had never met Kang Yueting and Zhu Jiayin before.

Lin Yishan thought of it and began introducing her two cousins to Su Yixia, saying, "This is the young miss of the Su Family."

Perhaps having already heard some rumors, Zhu Jiayin and Kang Yueting looked at Su Yixia with scrutinizing eyes.

"Su sister, you are very beautiful," sweet-mouthed Zhu Jiayin instantly blurted out the first compliment.
