Chapter Eighty-two

  Damn it!

  Damn it!

  Sister, do you really know what you just said? This is a blatant show-off, do you actually understand or not?

  Lin Daiyu's words made not only Lady Jia's face turn extremely ugly, but also the faces of Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and all the masters of Rongguo House looked none too good either.

  Especially Lady Wang, even the fingernails on her hand pierced into her own palm; she didn't feel any pain: "Jia Min ah Jia Min! You really are born to be my nemesis, even after you've been dead for so long; yet still not willing to let me go."

  Mrs. Wang's face twisted with a few points, and her eyes flashed with a hint of madness; this scene was inadvertently seen by Li Niang standing beside Mrs. Wang, and Li Niang's heart was shocked; she had never seen her mother-in-law's expression so mad and fierce before, and she couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on it; from then on, Li Niang became even more respectful to Mrs. Wang on the surface, but her guard against her grew deeper.

  However, Lin Daiyu's words fell into the ears of Grandmother Jia, but there was another layer of meaning; this Lin family was indeed a noble and aristocratic family for three generations, and the depth of the whole family was not comparable to their own.

  To know that each of these aristocratic families represents the accumulation of several generations, even hundreds of years of family foundation; on the surface, these families seem unassuming and low-key, but in private, their profound heritage is not something that can be compared to the four great families of Xue Shi Wang Jia.

  Jia Bu's generosity is not false, white jade makes a hall and gold makes a horse; the Epang Palace, three hundred miles cannot accommodate one historian from Jinling; the East Sea lacks a white jade bed, the Dragon King invites the king of Jinling to come; in a year of abundance, there is heavy snow, pearls are like soil and gold is like iron.

  The wealth of the four families, Xue Shi Wang Jia, described on this token may seem like boundless riches to ordinary people; however, compared to a family like Lin's, whose wealth has been accumulated over several generations, it is simply not in the same league.

  "Yu'er, you rarely come to your maternal grandmother's house; won't you stay for a few days and keep this old woman company?" Old Lady Jia said with a warm smile on her face.

  However, Mrs. Jia seems to have forgotten one thing, that is... Lin Daiyu is not like the original Lin Daiyu, who has a deep affection and bond with Jia Min and the Jia family.

  When Jia Min passed away, Lin Daiyu was only at the age of learning to speak; she had little impression and affection for her own mother Jia Min, let alone this Old Lady Jia of Rongguo House.

  The more impressions, the more pressure; without pressure, what's the fun of being a genius? The grandmothers and aunts are all just fleeting clouds, Lin Daiyu refuses with not a hint of guilt.

  "Grandma, your house is so small; Jade doesn't want to live here!" Lin Daiyu immediately refused without hesitation.

  Sister! What you said is absolutely hilarious! How can we continue chatting happily like this?

  Lin Ruo Lan was originally a bystander, watching the excitement with interest. Just as she was enjoying the show, she suddenly saw Old Lady Jia looking at her with pleading eyes, and Lin Ruo Lan knew that this excitement might not be watchable anymore.

  Lin Ruo Lan was just about to speak when she suddenly raised an eyebrow; her external divine sense detected that someone had arrived outside, hehe... With this person's arrival, it seemed like there wouldn't be any more trouble for herself; hmm, might as well continue watching the show then.

  Lin Ruolan's divine consciousness had just heard a maid outside Rong Xitang say, "Baoyu, slow down and be careful not to fall."

  Right after that came a boy's voice: "Isn't it said that there is a distant guest coming to our house? I heard she's an even more beautiful sister than Sanmei and the others."

  Now that Jia Baoyu has arrived at Rongguo House with the phoenix egg, there's nothing else to be done; so Lin Rulan remains silent.

  Mrs. Jia was taken aback, she had never expected that Lin Ruo Lan would actually ignore her pleading eyes, just as Mrs. Jia was about to speak.

  Suddenly there came a rapid patter of footsteps outside, and then a maid entered laughing and said: "Old lady, madam, Baoyu has arrived!"

  "Baoyu? Jia Baoyu?"

  Because Lin Ruo Lan had previously mentioned the phoenix egg of Rong Guo Fu to Lin Dai Yu, she naturally said something that might be a compliment, but Lin Ruo Lan didn't mean to slander Jia Bao Yu; she just let someone tell Lin Dai Yu about Jia Bao Yu's daily behavior in detail.

  So when she heard that a maid came in to say that Jia Baoyu had arrived, Lin Daiyu's first reaction was: "Sister said that this Jia Baoyu is a debauchee; I don't know if this guy really looks like what sister said, a human-like dog."

  If Lin Ruo Lan were to know that her own niece had remembered every word she had carelessly uttered about Jia Bao Yu, who knows what thoughts would be going through her mind.

  No sooner had the maid finished speaking than a young gentleman dressed up came in from the doorway.

  The young man in front of him was only slightly bigger than Lin Daiyu, but Lin Rulan could still feel a little bit; why did Mrs. Jia and Madame Wang treat Jia Baoyu as if he were their heart's treasure, obediently... this guy really had a good face.

  Her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are like autumn waves; none of these can describe the beauty of her face. The young man in front of me gives off an aura that even when he's angry, it seems like he's smiling, and when he looks at you with disdain, there's still affection in his eyes. He was born with a natural elegance and charm, all evident from the tips of his eyebrows which convey countless emotions; just one glance is enough to tell that this guy is definitely a sentimental romantic who loves beauty and hates to see it destroyed.

  Lin Daiyu was closer to Jia Baoyu, and at a glance she saw that he was wearing a golden pendant around his neck; on a five-colored silk cord was tied a beautiful jade, about the size of a quail egg; the whole piece of jade shone brightly like flowing clouds.

  "This guy really does look like what Aunt said - a perfect fake! Lin Daiyu's eyes flashed with disdain, and she muttered under her breath: "But the beautiful jade on his neck is indeed not bad, it's a treasure. This must be the Lingling Jade that Aunt mentioned before!"

  Don't look at Lin Daiyu's young age, but in recent years, Lin Ruolan has given Lin Daiyu many good things; this also led to Lin Daiyu's vision becoming higher and higher, she actually saw it with one glance; the thing hanging from Jia Baoyu's neck is a good thing.

  Lin Ruo-lan's eyes sparkled with an unusual light, and as soon as Jia Baoyu entered the Rongxi Hall, she had already sensed the presence of the divine jade pendant on his person, which was not an ordinary object. The dense spiritual energy emanating from it even took Lin Ruo-lan by surprise, thinking to herself that such a precious treasure was being wasted on Jia Baoyu's body.

  However, Lin Ruo Lan also knew that this piece of spiritual jade was one with Jia Baoyu; although it seemed to be full of spiritual energy when worn by Jia Baoyu, once separated from him, the jade would be nothing more than a worthless stone.

  Baoyu greets the old lady! As soon as Baoyu entered Rongxi Hall, he rushed straight to the front of Grandmother Jia and respectfully kowtowed to her.

  Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "First go see your mother, there are guests at home; come back later to see Lin's aunt's sister."

  Jia Baoyu had sharp eyes and had already seen that there were two strangers in the Rongxi Hall, one of whom was a younger sister; this must be Lin's aunt's sister everyone was talking about.

  There is another person who covers her face with a veil, making it difficult to ignore; however, judging from the other's age, she seems to be about the same age as Erniang of the Li family, but it's unknown what her appearance under the veil looks like, whether ugly or beautiful.

  Before long, Jia Baoyu walked over from Lady Wang's side. Old Lady Jia said with a smile: "Baoyu, come and pay your respects to your cousin Lin."

  Jia Baoyu took a close look at Lin Daiyu and then said to Grandmother Jia, "Ancestor, I have seen this sister of the Lin family before."

  Lin Ruo-lan listened to Jia Bao-yu's words, and apart from admiring the strong plot, she didn't have any other thoughts. On the contrary, Lin Dai-yu gave Jia Bao-yu a fierce glare, mentally labeling him as neurotic.

  Mrs. Jia couldn't help but laugh at what Jia Baoyu said: "My son, you're talking nonsense again; this is Lin's sister's first time visiting our home, when have you ever seen her?"

  Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Old ancestor, although I have never seen this sister before; but seeing her face is very kind, in my heart it's like an old acquaintance; today just pretend to be a distant reunion, there's nothing wrong with that."

  Damn it!

  Jia Baoyu is really powerful enough, one sentence immediately made Lin Daiyu and Lin Rulan, a pair of aunt and niece, both furious.

  Lin Daiyu was secretly annoyed, but her face still wore a smiling expression that didn't reveal any hint of it: "So it's Brother-in-law! And yet I hadn't noticed, it turns out that Second Uncle's brother-in-law is actually an oddball."

  "Lin sister, call brother more often; you can just call me Bao Gege. "Jia Baoyu walked closer to Lin Daiyu's side and sat down, and carefully examined her again; the more he looked, the happier he became: "Lin sister, what did you mean by 'Qiguo' just now?"

  "Qíbā is actually a compliment." Lin Daiyu secretly scolded Jia Baoyu as an idiot in her heart, then smiled and said.

  "Lin sister, have you had jade?" Jia Baoyu has gotten used to asking this question whenever someone comes into the house; he will definitely ask the other person this one sentence. This time facing Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu asked out the same sentence again.

  It's finally here, Lin Ruolan secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart; fortunately, she had the foresight; hanging the mermaid's tears on Lin Daiyu's neck, this classic scene of smashing jade should not happen again, right?

  Lin Daiyu smiled and said to Jia Baoyu, "I don't have the magical jade like your brother's, but I have this mermaid's tear." Lin Daiyu showed Jia Baoyu the blue pearl hanging from her neck, successfully shutting his mouth.

  Hmmm... All right, Jia Baoyu didn't go crazy and smash his precious jade; Lin Rulan nodded her head in satisfaction, but apparently she was a bit too early to be happy; soon enough, Lin Rulan also got dragged into this mess.

  "Lin sister, is this sister your aunt?" Jia Baoyu couldn't help but ask again: "Lin sister, does your aunt have a flaw on her face; that's why she wears a veil?"

  Lin Daiyu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. This guy really is as her aunt said, a typical neurotic. On one hand, he kept calling her "my sister", and on the other hand, he also kept calling her "aunt" with every word being "sister". Lin Daiyu was lost in thought, thinking about her own affairs, and had actually forgotten to respond to Jia Baoyu's words.

  Lin Daiyu didn't know, but as long as they were young and pretty women, Jia Baoyu would often address them with a different sisterly title.

  Jia Baoyu didn't wait for Lin Daiyu's response and walked to the front of Lin Rulan: "Sister, I can take a look at your appearance under the veil, can't I?"

  "Oh! Why do you want to see my face under the veil?" Lin Ruolan looked at Old Lady Jia with a hint of a smile, but said nothing. The weirdos in Rongguo House had already exhausted her patience; she was ready to turn around and leave at any moment.

  "I think my sister looks very familiar, as if I had seen her a long time ago..."

  Damn it!

  I've seen your sister before! Lin Ruolan was completely speechless at Jia Baoyu's classic lines. Every time he saw a beautiful woman, apart from calling her "sister" or "younger sister", he would only say the same sentence: "This younger sister (older sister), I think she looks familiar, as if I've seen her before."

  What the heck? Even if it's just flirting, can't you be more professional? All these matchmaking things are really deceiving! Lin Ruolan thinks that someone like Jia Baoyu, who is mentally ill, should be avoided in the future.

  Lin Ruolan stood up elegantly, then beckoned to Lin Daiyu: "Daiyu, come here! It's getting late now, we should also bid farewell to the old lady."

  "Aunt, can we finally go home?" Lin Daiyu had long wanted to leave this place and couldn't help but let out a small whoop of excitement when she heard Lin Ruolan's words; her face filled with joy as she spoke.

  "Let's go!"

  Lin Ruolan took Lin Daiyu's hand and the two of them walked out openly and honestly.

  "Hmm... As for the others in Rongguo Mansion? A simple little spell will do, and as long as Lin Ruolan and Lin Daiyu leave Rongguo Mansion separately; everything that happened in Rongguo Mansion today will be forgotten by everyone."
