Chapter 396: Chapter 395: (5 more updates)

After Jin Xiaoni’s reminder, Xu Niannian suddenly remembered that it seemed that none of them knew she was the granddaughter of Xu Wentian.

With resignation, she said, "It’s okay, I won’t upstage the host."

As she spoke, Xu Niannian moved to walk past her and go downstairs.

Jin Xiaoni was really worried—why couldn’t her sister-in-law heed advice?

Just like the disparaging comments Jin Ruibing had made, which turned into praises when aimed at her, didn’t she realize how attractive she was?

Looking like this, even dressed down, she could possibly upstage the host, and going out like this would certainly seal the deal.

Jin Xiaoni still wanted to struggle on Xu Niannian’s behalf, afraid she’d offend someone.

So she followed her downstairs, lifting her skirt with one hand and holding onto Xu Niannian with the other: "Don’t, cousin’s wife, I’m serious. Maybe you should change your clothes to avoid offending anyone."

"Don’t worry, I won’t offend anyone."

Hearing Xu Niannian speak so earnestly, Jin Xiaoni couldn’t help asking, "Why not?"

"Because I am one of Grandpa Xu’s biological granddaughters."

Xu Niannian offered a light smile and noticed Jin Xiaoni’s dress was coming apart at the waist, so she cautioned, "Are you sure you want to go out with me looking like that?"

Jin Xiaoni looked down and cried out with a "Yeah!"

She was also quite shocked by Xu Niannian’s revelation: "Cousin’s wife, you’re Grandpa Xu’s biological granddaughter?"

Jin Xiaoni was stunned.

Downstairs, Jin Ruibing and the others hadn’t finished digesting the last piece of news before being hit with another.

They all stared at Xu Niannian in disbelief.

Xu Niannian needed to go to the Xu family ahead of time because she had to do Xu Sisi’s makeup.

Jin Yu had gone back to work, but he should be back tonight.

After Xu Niannian left the Jin family, Jin Ruibing and the others finally came to their senses.

He hesitantly said, "Hey, Ah Qiang, I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Our cousin’s wife is actually Grandpa Xu’s biological granddaughter?"

Compared to Jin Ruibing, Xu Qiang had a better ability to process information.

He had already recovered from his surprise and nonchalantly replied, "You heard right."

Jin Ruibing: "Holy shit!"

It was all because he was illiterate—his vocabulary limited to a universal "Holy shit!"

Besides "Holy shit," Jin Ruibing couldn’t think of anything else to express his astonishment.

Who was it that said his cousin had married a homely and plain rural girl with no "salt" in her looks?

Come out, he wouldn’t let them off easy.

Was it okay to spread rumors like this?

The Yu family was also among those invited tonight, and Du Ruo had instructed her daughter to dress up nicely.

She had gone all out and bought Yu Feifei an extremely expensive dress.

Yu Feifei looked beautiful in it.

She even deliberately put on makeup.

Du Ruo said, "Feifei, I heard from your Aunt Xu that Jin Ruiyang will also be there tonight. Make sure to seize the opportunity, Ruiyang is no less impressive than Jin Yu."

Standing in front of the mirror, Yu Feifei saw her dignified and elegant reflection and pursed her lips with a smile in her eyes.

She had also heard that Jin Yu would be there tonight.

Upon hearing Du Ruo’s words, Yu Feifei frowned subconsciously.

"Mom, why bring this up now? I don’t like Jin Ruiyang."

Du Ruo retorted irritably, "Mom knows what’s on your mind, but no matter our dissatisfaction, Jin Yu is already married, and we’re not going to do something that degrading."

Though she hadn’t met Wu Lan, the daughter-in-law, Du Ruo didn’t like her in her heart either.

But Wu Lan was right; no matter how unsuitable she might be, she was still Jin Yu’s wife.

There are plenty of good men out there; no need to hang on to one who isn’t available.

"I got it, mom, stop talking."

Being reminded by Du Ruo that Jin Yu was married spoiled the good mood Yu Feifei had just been in, and her outlook quickly darkened.

"Well, as long as you know. Don’t blame me for not warning you, of this younger generation, aside from Jin Yu, the most outstanding young talent is Ruiyang. You spruce yourself up well, and if you get the chance, try to talk more with Ruiyang tonight. It’s perfect timing since Ruiyang is still single. Seize the opportunity and don’t let it slip away, lest you miss out on Jin Yu and let Ruiyang escape too."

Yu Feifei’s heart was set on Jin Yu, and no matter how outstanding Jin Ruiyang was, it didn’t concern her.

Agitated by Du Ruo’s nagging, Yu Feifei protested, "Mom, can you please stop?"

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop."

Jin Ruiyang was still unaware that he had been considered again as a prime candidate for son-in-law.

Without a doubt, he would have to attend tonight’s banquet.

That Xu Wentian’s granddaughters were Xu Sisi and Xu Niannian was something Jin Ruiyang had known for a while.

Lying on his bed, Jin Ruiyang slowly got up.

Most of the women attending tonight’s banquet would be decked out in their finest.

He wondered if the Black Girl had bothered to dress herself up properly.

Thinking about her skin that was so dark it gleamed, Jin Ruiyang couldn’t help but chuckle. She’d probably look better without dressing up.

He couldn’t imagine what she’d look like with makeup on, her blackness showing through the white foundation.

At the thought, Jin Ruiyang couldn’t restrain a pleased chuckle.

Although he thought it would look comical, he inexplicably looked forward to seeing her decked out.

As he got dressed, Jin Ruiyang instinctively chose his favorite outfit from the wardrobe.

A white trench coat, beige chinos, paired with white leather shoes.

He even casually picked up his gold-rimmed glasses.

Bending slightly at the waist, he leaned against the wall in front of a rectangular mirror.

In the mirror, the man appeared gentle and elegant, with the ethereal charm of a clear breeze under the bright moon.

Jin Ruiyang was tempted to put the glasses back, but then the words of that little girl unexpectedly flitted through his mind.

"Brother Ruiyang looks so good in glasses."

And so, he put the glasses back on.
