Yu Qinqin's hand, as she put on her shoes, paused ever so slightly. A hint of cloudiness swept across her gaze, but it quickly returned to normal.
She laughed coldly, dismissively saying, "So what if she's back? I don't see why that's so surprising."
"You were studying abroad back then, so you wouldn't know, but she and Li Chengyun were once together," Ji Duoduo hastily imparted everything she knew to Yu Qinqin.
"Oh, I've heard. Li Chengyun was just playing her, and dumped her in the end." Yu Qinqin venomously responded, unsurprised.
She didn't give any weight to Ji Duoduo's words, nor did she have any regard for Yu Jingrong.
Ji Duoduo frowned, "But you don't know how well Li Chengyun treated her back then. He cherished her as if she was made of glass, was afraid to hurt her in any way. Jingrong loved him too. Ah... who knows why they didn't end up together. And considering Jingrong's personality, now that the two families are about to form a union, how could she not want to marriage him, especially since they've been together before..."
Yu Qinqin retorted sarcastically, "So what if they were once together? If a man decides to discard a woman, he will act cold and ruthless. The more she clings, the more he will loathe her. Also, things are different now. Back then, the Yu family was under his father's control, so she could afford to act arrogantly and willfully. Let's see how arrogant she can be now."
Ji Duoduo thought for a moment, then sheepishly agreed, "You're right about that."
"Alright, I'm off to see Chengyun." Yu Qinqin's haughty demeanor radiated as she walked off, like a peacock.
The atmosphere in the living room was strangely tense. Yu Jingrong was still in shock, glancing at the jade phoenix carving one moment, then at Li Chengyun the next. She clearly had many questions.
But in such a situation, she couldn't utter a single word.
Li Chengyun looked at Old Master Yu and stated, "As my grandfather said, we are to form a union with the finest daughter of the Yu family."
No sooner had the words left his mouth, Yu Qinqin stepped forward, "Chengyun."
She smiled shyly at Li Chengyun.
It was abundantly clear that she considered herself to be the best daughter of the Yu family. The moment she heard Li Chengyun's comment, she quickly interpreted it to refer to herself.
She moved on to greet Old Master Yu, entirely ignoring Yu Jingrong to her side.
Yu Jingrong glanced at her, it was clear that Yu Qinqin had taken great pains to doll herself up before making an appearance. She had put on light makeup and styled her hair into big curls. Unfortunately, her appearance was lacking. Not only should a woman wear good makeup, but she should also wear clothes that suit her.
But Yu Qinqin's understanding of color coordination was pitiful.
She wore a green skirt paired with red high heels. Her fashion choice was painfully provincial!
But all honesty, her capabilities were quite impressive.
Over the years, without her help in managing "Yu Zhai," the business might have been in worse shape than it is today.
