Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 264
In the eyes of these rich and powerful families, Hui Ye is the bumpkin nouveau riche, and they look down on them very much. On the contrary, they forget that their ancestors have built their family fortune from scratch when they were only two or three generations old.

A few girls of the same age complained that Lily's eyesight was poor, and they let the children of these aristocratic families or returnee elites not want them, and found someone from the mainland who had no roots and no background, or the living habits of northerners are different, so there is no common language. .

When the few people saw Xingye, they had a warm face, but they were either inquiring about their lives or flaunting their own superiority. Xingye was a little contemptuous in his heart, but he was neither humble nor overbearing on his face. It is so perfect that those women with critical eyes have to say that they are really educated, and they can't find a single fault.

When those women showed off their fashions or new perfumes, most of Xingye was watching, but there were always people who would seek her advice from time to time, Xingye would often speak some insider words just right, and seemed to have a good understanding of all of them. It is familiar and cannot be more familiar. Such a relentless performance seems to make those people somewhat disappointed.

It's just such a boring topic that makes Xingye very impatient, but those women seem to be only interested in these. If they didn't appear as the only in-laws, and these Lily of the Valley's natal family is also extremely enthusiastic, Xingye would have found a corner to hide Well, why would I care about these idle women, but speaking of Lily Lane, she is also a different kind in her family, and never bothers to gossip with these women.

Xingye felt that these people were talking to him on purpose, because when he was around, they basically spoke Mandarin, and only used their familiar Cantonese when they said something that Xingye didn't want to hear, or when it was about irrelevant topics.

When a woman in her forties showed off her latest diamond necklace and then did not forget to comment on Xingye's jewelry, Xingye was already very impatient, and blindly expressing humility would only make these people look down on her.

"Although diamonds are gorgeous, they always make people feel that they lack some connotation, especially when they are worn, the light of the diamonds tends to catch the eye and ignore the wearer. Is this jewelry a foil for people? On the other hand, it's all about jewelry. Who cares about people? The cart before the horse. I prefer emeralds and other accessories, which are elegant and charming. Of course, people with good temperament are more suitable to wear jades and emeralds." Xingye ignored the other party's displeased face and said with a smile: "Yes I have a little bit of personal preference, so it doesn’t necessarily make sense.”

"I really think it makes sense," a new voice joined in. It was Ling Lan who brought a 27-year-old woman over, and it was that woman who spoke.

"Then why don't you see Miss Luo wearing any jade jewelry? The one in your hand seems to be... oh, my eyesight is so dull that I can't tell what kind of material it is." A discordant voice sounded, it was a person standing beside the diamond woman A woman of about the same age said it. I remember that Linglan introduced her as a cousin.

Xingye smiled. She didn't wear a complete set of jewelry, but a string of beeswax beads on her wrist. It was an old product left by her aunt. It looked inconspicuous, but in fact such large beads were worn as a whole string is rare.

"Beeswax, it's not very eye-catching, but it was passed down by my grandparents. It's been a while." Xingye said it very modestly, but the things are placed there. Others don't think it's modesty. They think it's showing off up.

"It is said that some of these things are really expensive, and some are really cheap. You can buy a string for tens of dollars. Those who don't know how to do it may not dare to buy it. If you sell fake ones, it is not shameful." The ones bought at the street stalls are fake, as the woman just said.

In fact, what she said was right, the material of beeswax is really good and bad, but Xingye said that it was passed down from the ancestors, and she still said that, then she was deliberately finding fault.

"People like the Yu family probably know how to do it," the woman who came with Qi Linglan nodded again.

Xingye looked at her and Qi Linglan curiously, not knowing why this woman was so familiar to her, Linglan smiled and said, "This is Yang Weini, my classmate when I was studying abroad, and now works at Yu."

Xingye hurriedly said hello, curious that this Yang Weini seemed to be three or four years older than Qi Linglan, Yang Weini seemed to understand Xingye's doubts and introduced herself: "It takes two years of graduation and work in China to have the opportunity to study abroad, and it is not as good as Linglan The conditions are very good, so even though I am a classmate, I am several years older than her, and I am not working at Yu’s head office in the United States, but at the branch office in Singapore.”

Singapore?It seems that Long Xiang is the founder of the Singapore branch, so he couldn't help asking, "Do you know Long Xiang?"

Yang Weini shook her head regretfully and said, "He wasn't there when I joined the company, but I heard that he is a very capable young man. By the way, he is also from Yu's family, right?"

Over there, Ling Lan's aunt asked Ling Lan curiously, "Is that Mrs. Yu from the United States? How is this related?"

"Aunt, don't you know?" Ling Lan exaggeratedly surprised, "I thought there was no one you didn't know!"

The woman didn't seem to care about Ling Lan's sarcasm at all, she just hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that your husband is from mainland China? Why..."

"Auntie, you should know that the Yu family in the United States also moved from the mainland. The Yu family is a family of imperial merchants, and now they are the leaders of Chinese merchants in the United States." Girl, now the head of the Yu family is her own uncle, she said that the jewelry is a family heirloom, do you think it could be a fake of tens of dollars?"

The aunt was embarrassed, and whispered to the people around her in Cantonese, then smiled awkwardly and walked away. Xingye was noticing her surroundings, as if those people who had surrounded her had somehow escaped.

"I'm sorry," Ling Lan apologized, "That's how they are. They don't mean to trouble you, but just to inquire about newcomers. If you are not as good as them, they will only look at you from the corner of their eyes. If you are strong enough, then Either avoiding you or supporting you, just use the name of the Yu family to frighten them, otherwise they will continue to annoy them."

Xingye nodded, she used to be like this too, desperately using high-end accessories and clothes to show her superiority, and stomping on those who are inferior to her, not because she has any grudges but because she thinks it can highlight herself, these women have such a mentality.

"I hate these women the most, they will babble every day, nothing serious." Yang Weini said disdainfully.

No wonder she and Qi Linglan can become good friends. They both have the same liking and personality, but Qi Linglan is a little embarrassed after all, they are her relatives and friends, "I don't like this either, so I usually don't go to parties. There’s no way we can go together.”

The three of them were chatting, and they had a common language to some extent, but it didn't take long for someone to join in the conversation. Xingye keenly observed that this time they seemed to be middle-aged and elderly ladies, and those young people just now Almost none of the girls approached.

Ling Lan's slightly embarrassed smile made Xingye understand at once that she must have touched her own family just now, and went back to discuss and replace a group of people who are interested in her, but she didn't know what they were paying attention to.

Most of those elders were Ling Lan's elders, and in a few words they brought the topic to Xing Ye. How old are they?Are you still in school?Do you plan to study abroad?Do you have a boyfriend?Questions like these continue to be asked more and more on a personal level.

Xingye smiled wryly in his heart, is this the sequelae of mentioning the Yu family?No one underestimates themselves and wants to embarrass themselves, but these aunts may have their calculations on marriage, but the information is fast enough, and it will take a while to find out.

Ling Lan couldn't stand it anymore, so she found an excuse and dragged Xing Ye away.

"I'm sorry." There was no one around, Linglan apologized again, "About the Yu family... I know it has nothing to do with Kaguya, but... I'm afraid they will embarrass Kaguya, I don't want to cling to Yushi, nor am I afraid of them Look down on me... Kaguya is the best. In time, his sense of achievement will not be worse than that of Yu Shi, this..."

Xingye patted Ling Lan's hand to comfort her overly nervous nerves, "I'm not mistaken, I can see your feelings for my brother, who said he has nothing to do with the Yu family? He is my brother, we are like a mother Also, you really don’t have to worry about these things.”

"Those people also..." Ling Lan still wanted to explain.

Xingye shook his head, "It's because of a little arrogance, it's not a bad person."

Lily Lan is an open-minded person, and when she heard Xingye say this, she laughed, "At first, those young people had a mentality of comparison, knowing that you were not something they could bully, so they avoided you. Those who came just now were all with young sons at home. .”

Xingye smiled wryly, "This is too fast."

"You don't know that, Hong Kong is so big, everyone knows what's going on, and they also heard about the Yu family's relationship to find out the details, but it can't be said that they must marry, and these people are not all Some of the wealthy families are just looking good, and they want to get benefits through marriage, so when I heard about a new rich man like you just now, I wanted to take a look, and I guess my parents must ask about it." Lily of the valley laughed.

"Fortunately, I don't have to stay here often," Xingye said with a smile. "It's hard to imagine that parents can still make decisions for their children now? Uncle is really open-minded."

Xingye flattered her a little bit, but now Linglan smiled wryly, "My dad is pretty good compared to him, but you know, Huiye was the one who fell in love with him first, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged for me to be in charge of the province. If I find someone he doesn't like, I can't guarantee that he will support me."

Xingye laughed along, "It seems that my brother is luckier."

"What about me?" While talking, Hui Ye came over.

"Are you okay? I see you and Dad went to see Tan Bo, he is the most ruthless person." Seeing Hui Ye, Ling Lan asked quickly, fearing that Hui Ye would suffer and be offended.

"No, it's more about investment. The few people my father-in-law introduced just now are very knowledgeable and have their own opinions on the future trend. I have benefited a lot. I have made an appointment to go to the Let's visit." Hui Ye smiled, and could see that Suzuran's father had selected introducers for Hui Ye to meet, and they were all helpful to him, and Qi's father would not stop those superficial or useless ones at all. Let Hui Ye see him, but he feels sorry for this sleazy son-in-law.
