Chapter 1726: How Dare You

Lin Shuyun listened and felt quite pleased. She was wearing a light blue cheongsam, draped a shawl over her shoulders, maintained her posture carefully, never slouching. With a smile at the corner of her eyes, she nodded to Chen Nian:

“Sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law, for making you so tired.”

Chen Nian was almost grinding her teeth to pieces. She pinched her palm hard, forcing herself to smile gracefully and elegantly, “Why are we sisters being so formal? Today is your big day, I’ll comply with you in everything, and I should go welcome the master so as not to neglect them.”

Lin Shuyun curled her lips, her eyebrows were full of undisguised pride, but she just nodded, holding herself high.

Chen Nian couldn’t be bothered to look, she stood up, “Mom, I’ll go first. You take a rest, no need to entertain the guests, I’ll come back to get you later.”

Su Rong: “Alright.”

Chen Nian walked out quickly, opened the door, and came face to face with Ye Congjie.

The other side was just about to put a hand on the door handle when the door was pulled open from the inside.

“Xiao Jie?”

Chen Nian’s eyes flickered, “Jiaojiao’s here, when did you arrive, why didn’t you tell your aunt?”

While speaking, she pulled Nan Jiaojiao’s hand and went inside.

Raising her voice, she said, “Mom, look who I brought to see you.”

Su Rong looked over, happily stretched out her hand, “Jiaojiao, come to grandma.”

Nan Jiaojiao went over, sat down next to Su Rong, her hand was pulled over, the shallow lines of the old lady’s palm gently pressed against her.

“That’s more like it, a family should be together more often. I told your mom to make sure to bring you today. I was just asking, she said you were on the way, waiting for so long, I thought you weren’t coming, grandma was about to go looking for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at Lin Shuyun.

Since she appeared, Lin Shuyun had been restless, and when their eyes met, Lin Shuyun’s gaze held a vague threat, warning Nan Jiaojiao not to speak recklessly.

“Grandma, I came in with the company’s invitation.”

Su Rong’s face stiffened, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Shuyun, instantly understanding.

She gave a dry laugh, “Jiaojiao, what are you saying, today is a good day for your parents, you should be here.”

“The invitation was for my master, she couldn’t find the time today, so she sent me. I also brought the jewelry Mrs. Ye ordered.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t give any face and took out the jewelry box, handing it to Lin Shuyun, “Please check it over, if there are no mistakes or omissions and you’re willing to accept it, I can collect the final payment today.”

“You’re here for money?!”

Nan Jiaojiao replied calmly, “Yes, that’s right.”

“Nan Jiaojiao, how dare you!”

Lin Shuyun blurted out, Chen Nian restrained her, “Sister-in-law, don’t yell at the child. We didn’t know you asked Jiaojiao to design jewelry for you. Indeed, the bond between a mother and daughter is different. You care deeply for her, otherwise…”

Halfway through her sentence, Chen Nian suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, “Jiaojiao, did you design it? Where are you working now?”

“E.Y.”

“You…”

Chen Nian was tongue-tied, and the entire lounge was briefly silent for a few seconds.

“An internship?”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “No, I’ve already become permanent.”

“Permanent! That’s… E.Y. after all.”

“Aunt probably doesn’t know, the set of jewelry you like very much, it was designed by Nan Jiaojiao.”

Ye Linlin scrolled through E.Y.’s Weibo, finding the set of jewelry Nan Jiaojiao won with in the competition, and waved her phone around.

“Back then, you wanted to order a set, even through connections there was no stock, later you went to the second show just to have a look. This is what Nan Jiaojiao designed.”

Chen Nian was genuinely surprised, who would have thought, Nan Jiaojiao actually had this kind of talent.
