"Oh, look at her... She looks exactly like Wang Ruo." One of the women almost squealed as she walked towards Jiang Yue, then gave her a tight hug. "I am your aunt Chen Shi. Oh my... you are even more beautiful than your mother!"
"You are right! Wang Ruo must have been so proud to have such a daughter!" Another woman, who didn't even have any resemblance with Chen Shi added. Then, she made her way to Jiang Yue and hugged her after Chen Shi. "My name is Chen Yueli, I am Chen Shi's twin sister. You can call me Aunt Yueli."
"Nice to meet you. I am..."
"Oh, we already know who you are, dear. Is it alright if we call you Little Yue?" Chen Shi smiled amiably.
"No problem." She nodded.
"Oh, you should meet our children too..." Chen Yueli dragged her towards the three young people, acpanying them. "This is my daughter, Tang Fei and..." she pointed at the mature man, who had caught Jiang Yue's attention earlier. "My husband, Tang Jiali."
Then, she pointed at the handsome, tall guy, whose nose was a little crooked. "This is Chen Shi's son, Zhang Wenhao and his sister, Zhang Biqi. They are both models and well-known personalities in M Country."
"Mom... you are embarrassing us." The woman, named Tang Fei mumbled, then blushed. "Miss Jiang Yue is obviously more beautiful than both of us bined"
"Haha... That is so true... Thank you." Jiang Yue beamed at Tang Fei's words, instantly making everyone speechless and awkward. This Jiang Yue was.... a little shameless, eh?
Of course, Jiang Yue was doing it intentionally, to make everyone unfortable. Why should she waste her time when she could start the show the moment she met them? She knew that those people were up to no good. So, she could only reciprocate their motives and show ill intent as well.
'Not that they can do something about it,' Jiang Yue thought while laughing inwardly.
"Hahaha... This child is very amusing. Wang Huo... you didn't mention that she has a great sense of humor as well." Chen Shi smiled before walking back to her seat.
"Jiang Yue is naturally like this... she is such a sweetheart." Wang Huo smiled at them while eyeing Jiang Yue. He couldn't understand why was Jiang Yue making them unfortable all of a sudden when she had agreed to be amicable with them the other night?
"Uncle, who is joking? Are you saying that I am ugly?" Jiang Yue pouted. That was exactly what she was good at, acting and making people think that she was stupid. After all, those people's agenda should include observing her behavior too.
"What are you talking about? Of course, you are the prettiest." Wang Huo only smiled and shook his head. Jiang Yue was extremely smart, so she must have noticed that something was not right with those people. Otherwise, why would she act that way?
"As expected, you are my best uncle ever." Jiang Yue smiled before sitting next to Wang Huo. Then, she turned to look at Chen Shi and Chen Yueli, who were sitting just across her. " You guys arrived really early. I hope you didn't have a hard time during the flight."
"Of course not... Everything was fine." Chen Yueli answered. "I heard that you are already an acplished businesswoman... Your mother must have been so proud!" She added.
Although her words were extremely sweet and friendly, Jiang Yue did not miss the flash of anger in her eyes when she said Wang Ruo's name. She couldn't help but wonder what was that woman's true affiliations with her mother. Moreover, Jiang Yue also noticed that the man, who they introduced as Chen Yueli's husband, seemed to be staring at her in a very weird way.
"Yes, she should be." Jiang Yue answered proudly. Of course, Wang Ruo was very proud of her. She always told her about that since they reunited.
Once again, everyone became awkward at Jiang Yue's words. How e this woman was so proud and arrogant? Who did she think she was?
"Hahahaha... you are indeed very funny. Just like what I expected from my best friend's child." Chen Shi laughed, however, her eyes said a different thing. Inwardly, she was not happy at all, in fact, she was fuming. She was here to observe Jiang Yue. Their Queen had tasked her to observe Jiang Yue. Yet, that woman was just too cunning.
She needed to know the real Jiang Yue.
"Why don't you take them for a walk in the garden at the back of the estate, Little Yue?" Wang Huo asked, hoping to ease the tension. "We still have a lot of time before lunchtime. Why don't you show them Minghua's archery field? Speaking of him... do you know where he is?"
"No idea, Uncle... Why don't you go find him, while I am showing them the practice field, as well as the gardens?" She smiled.
Wang Huo just nodded before excusing himself, as Jiang Yue led the group to the back of the estate. Jiang Yue might look confident on the outside, but she was very unfortable on the inside. That Tang Jiali man was staring at her like he knew what she was thinking about all this time.
Just who was that man?
