Yu Jingrong didn't leave right away, she just wanted to ask Grandpa Yu where her brother, Chenxi, was so she could find him.
But before she could speak, Li Chengyun's voice rang out: "Grandfather Yu, my grandfather, during his lifetime, had arranged marriage with Grandfather Yu, today I'm here to propose, this is a gift."
He then raised his hand, signaling to Aguai standing behind him.
A carrying a box, Aguai immediately came to the tea table, bent down, and gently put the box on the table.
Then, he opened the box, took out the object inside, and placed it on the tea table.
It was a phoenix jade carving, not only lifelike but also gracefully posed. This wasn't just carving, it seemed to also involve inlay and dotting with green.
It was clearly something exceptional, so much so that it seemed impossible to measure its value with a price.
Grandfather Yu was stunned by this treasure, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it: "This jade stone is shining white, warm, and detailed, it should be the finest mutton-fat white jade."
Yu Jingrong was also stunned, but not out of admiration, out of panic.
She gaped at the phoenix jade carving, something already etched in her mind.
Wasn't this jade carving her father's final work? After her father passed away, wasn't it broken too? Why was it now appearing intact and being used as a betrothal gift for Li Chengyun's marriage proposal to the Yu Family?
Biting her lip hard, she told herself to stay calm, but due to the shock, she couldn't control the trembling that came from her heart.
She quietly stared at Li Chengyun, seeming like she was expecting an answer from him.
But Li Chengyun wore an indifferent expression, talking to Grandfather Yu, even too stingy to spare her a glance.
At the side door of the living room, a pair of beautiful eyes watched Li Chengyun affectionately from the shadowy corner. She was taken aback by Yu Jingrong's appearance; Li Chengyun's proposal was a surprise, and the owner of those eyes was both excited and shocked.
With a cunning flicker in her eyes, she stepped back quietly.
When she was a sufficient distance from the door, she quickly turned and headed towards the backyard. Arriving at a door, she pushed it open while exclaiming, "Cousin, Master Li really came to propose…"
"Duoduo, weren't you pretty calm? What's your hurry now?" The woman who spoke was Yu Qinqin, the daughter of the second uncle. Duoduo's full name was Ji Duoduo, she was the daughter of the third aunt.
One was Yu Jingrong's cousin, the other was Yu Jingrong's cousin from a different branch of the family,
When she spoke, Yu Qinqin was putting on shoes, she took a glance at the girl, Ji Duoduo, with an expression that seemed to say I knew it all along.
Ji Duoduo put her hand on her chest in relief and then said to Yu Qinqin, "And... Cousin, Jingrong is back."
