The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Jiang Yuqing was initially stunned, but then she was ecstatic.

She quickly straightened her attire and approached Jiang Moxi and Li Tinglu, "Tinglu, is this... your friend?"

Jiang Yuqing addressed Li Tinglu, but her gaze was firmly fixed on Jiang Moxi.

Moreover, Jiang Yuqing was trying to carve an unprecedentedly warm smile on her face, and she began to compliment Jiang Moxi right away.

"She is so beautiful, even more attractive than my mother when she was young, like a fairy descending to earth."

Jiang Yuqing thought, since this girl got along so well with Jhiang Heting before, she must have a close relationship with him.

If she could get on good terms with her now and have her speak favorably of her to Jhiang Heting, then her chances of attending Jhiang Heting’s piano meeting would definitely be much higher than Jiang Weiwei’s.

But the fairy was frowning at her, looking very surprised by her compliment.

Still, Jiang Yuqing believed that the fairy was just not familiar with her, which was why she reacted that way.

After interacting for a bit more, the fairy would surely be moved by her, Jiang Yuqing’s enthusiasm, and become good friends with her.

However, while Jiang Yuqing was busy calculating her advantages, Li Tinglu revealed to her, "Yuqing sister, this is Sister Moxi! You couldn’t have failed to recognize her, could you?"

There was a hint of schadenfreude in Li Tinglu’s tone.

Yes, she wanted everyone in the old house to see that her Sister Moxi didn’t need any makeup, and looked better than those flamboyantly made-up vixens!

Jiang Yuqing was too shocked to notice the hint of schadenfreude in Li Tinglu’s words.

"Mo, Moxi? Jiang Moxi?"

She stared at Jiang Moxi in near disbelief, but no matter how she looked, she couldn’t associate this beautiful girl with that ugly and stubby country girl from before.

Jiang Yuqing’s high-pitched exclamation also led the people in the old house’s great hall to unconsciously look in their direction.

Almost everyone who saw Jiang Moxi was stunned.

For the girl was extremely delicate and so beautiful without a trace of worldliness, making people unconsciously doubt that she belonged to this mortal world.

Jiang Guosheng, Yu Man, and Jiang Weiwei had arrived at the old house earlier, and upon hearing Jiang Yuqing’s exclamation, they couldn’t help but turn their attention to Jiang Moxi.

Compared to others, they had already seen Jiang Moxi’s bare-faced appearance.

But even now, they were still profoundly shaken by the ethereal beauty emanating from Jiang Moxi.

Especially Jiang Weiwei, who stared at Jiang Moxi with a calm facade while her fingertips sunk deep into her palm.

Jiang Guosheng quickly regained his composure and called out to Jiang Moxi, "Since you’re here, come in and greet everyone."

Although Yu Man was still furious with Jiang Moxi, with so many people from the old house present, she could only agree with Jiang Guosheng’s approach.

Jiang Moxi did not want to openly fall out with the three of them at the old house, so she entered the great hall with Li Tinglu.

At this moment, the people of the Jiang family were basically all there in the great hall, and everyone who saw Jiang Moxi had an awestruck expression on their faces.

"Our Moxi is actually so beautiful?" Even Old Madam Jiang Du Yuke couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

"She’s more handsome than Weiwei, Yuqing, Sibei, and Tinglu, very nice indeed." Old Master Jiang Jiang Tairan also lavished praise.

The smile that Jiang Weiwei had been struggling to maintain immediately cracked.

Yu Man did not like Jiang Tairan putting down Jiang Weiwei either, and immediately retorted with a cold and mocking tone:

"Her studies are a mess. Her second aunt and I went out of our way to contact Jhiang Heting to meet her alongside Weiwei and Yuqing, but she refused. Living like a good-for-nothing, what’s the use of just having a pretty face?"

Jiang Guosheng did not like airing private matters in front of the Jiang Dinghai and Jiang Jianzhong families, and immediately gave Yu Man a stern look.

"You have something to say, say it when we get back!"

Yu Man saw Jiang Guosheng’s eyes clearly burning with anger and had to let it go.

But some words, once spoken, had started to provide others with an opening.

Xiao Qingyun had been previously dazzled by Jiang Moxi’s beauty, and momentarily worried that their Jiang Sibei might be overshadowed by Jiang Moxi.

But upon hearing Yu Man’s words, she asked with great interest: "Then why didn’t she meet with Master Jhiang? I’ve heard that those who receive guidance from Master Jhiang usually do well later on."

Yu Man, seeing Xiao Qingyun’s smug look, somewhat regretted speaking too frankly before.

She ignored Xiao Qingyun, but Zhao Guangmei on the side was happy to join in with her.

"Moxi said she knows Jhiang Heting and wants to meet him; she will go see him by herself."

Previously, when Yu Man mentioned bringing Jiang Moxi along, Zhao Guangmei was quite opposed to it, making all sorts of excuses.

It was only after Yu Man later sent Zhao Guangmei a set of ruby jewelry that Jiang Guosheng had won for her at an auction that Zhao Guangmei reluctantly agreed.

But Zhao Guangmei didn’t expect to find out, when they went, that Jiang Moxi hadn’t followed. Later on, while Yu Man was furious, she let slip everything.

Zhao Guangmei had treated all that as a joke at the time, and did the same even now after having seen Jiang Moxi’s true face.

After all, with the kind of wealth and background Jhiang Heting had, plenty of people claim to know him; the key is whether he acknowledges you!

After hearing all this, Xiao Qingyun as well as Jiang Jianzhong and Jiang Sibei couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"This child is really naive."

"Her abilities aren’t great, but she’s quite boastful."

Listening to the second branch of the family mock, Jiang Guosheng shot Yu Man another cold glance.

Yu Man was annoyed but felt that the entire fault lay with Jiang Moxi.

If it weren’t for Jiang Moxi saying such absurd things, their family wouldn’t have become the subject of mockery.

Li Tinglu was extremely annoyed seeing others making fun of Jiang Moxi again.

"If Sister Moxi says she knows Jhiang Heting, then she definitely knows him. What are you, a bunch of frogs in a well, laughing at?"

Since seeing Jiang Moxi single-handedly take down a group of professional fighters and yet never show off in front of the people at the old house, Li Tinglu had absolute faith in Jiang Moxi’s words.

So in her eyes, those who mocked Jiang Moxi were the most ridiculous.

Li Tinglu’s mother Jiang Ruxin had just been laughing along with the second branch about Jiang Moxi. Who would’ve thought that her own daughter would actually speak up for Jiang Moxi? She was so angry she scolded her on the spot.

"Tinglu, if you don’t understand, don’t blabber. Jhiang Heting is an international piano master and also the younger brother of the family head of the Jhiang Family in Emperor City. People with such status and background cannot be claimed to be known just by a girl who is nothing but a pretty face."

"Mom, you’re the one who doesn’t understand! Sister Moxi is amazing, she just is..."

Li Tinglu wanted to argue, but Jiang Ruxin said, "Don’t hang around people who lack ambition all the time, alright? If you can only get into Technical College after the college entrance exams, see how I’ll deal with you!"

But after saying that, Jiang Ruxin still smiled at Jiang Moxi: "Moxi, I don’t mean that Technical College is bad, don’t take it personally."

However, it was clear to everyone that Xiao Qingyun was criticizing Jiang Moxi and telling her not to lead Li Tinglu astray.

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man were fuming with rage when they heard this.

Yet Jiang Moxi seriously nodded to Jiang Ruxin: "I don’t mind, auntie."

Li Tinglu was so agitated and wanted to argue with Jiang Ruxin.

But then Jiang Moxi suddenly looked at Li Tinglu, causing her to swallow the words that reached her lips.

The entire time, Jiang Yuqing had been watching Jiang Moxi intently, as if she had something to say but hesitated...
