"Qingyang, you don’t need to worry about the rest." Meng Siyu started to shoo people away. Lian Qingyang pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, you enjoyed the show just now, didn’t you?" Meng Siyu gave him a sidelong glance. Lian Qingyang hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, if it wasn’t for me coaxing Sister Xiao Yue, do you think she would have been so diligent in changing outfits? Just like a model, one after another?" "Brother-in-law, you can’t turn your back on me now," Lian Qingyang looked up at Meng Siyu with a merit-seeking demeanor, adding, "Sister Xiao Yue is so beautiful. Today is her first meeting with the rest of the Lian Family, we certainly can’t let them think any less of Sister Xiao Yue." After speaking, Lian Qingyang, ignoring Meng Siyu’s words, leaned in again to give advice to the hairstylist. In the bright mirror, Tang Yue looked at Lian Qingyang’s earnest expression and couldn’t help laughing, the anxiety in her heart also gradually calmed down. Meeting the Lian Family folks was an accident. Since she recognized Grandpa Lian, Tang Yue naturally wouldn’t be coy. After all, it’s just about acknowledging a grandfather, acknowledging a father. If they’re nice, she’ll dutifully honor them. If not? She would just deal with them as ordinary relatives. The Lian Family’s banquet was taken very seriously, and the dishes prepared were also Southern specialties. She loved spicy food, so many heavy-flavored spicy dishes and her favorites like crystal shrimp dumplings were prepared, not to mention that seafood was indispensable. "Sister Xuan, tell me, Tang Yue is just a granddaughter, why does Grandpa value her so much?" Lian Qingzhi pouted, full of jealousy. Lian Qingling, who looked identical to Lian Qingzhi, said beside her: "Qingzhi, are you dumb? Lian Qingyang places great importance on this woman; naturally, Grandpa Lian loves whatever is associated with his house." Lian Qingyang, being the legitimate grandson of Lian He, made it natural for Old Sir Lian to show such favor. "Qingling, Qingzhi, don’t talk nonsense, be careful not to anger Grandpa," Lian Qingxuan was the only sister among the few who got married, but even after having a son, Lian Qingxuan maintained a good figure. With a gentle face and a light smile, she exuded intellectual charm. "Sister Xuan, we’re not stupid. How could we say such things in front of Grandpa?" Lian Qingzhi cheekily said. Lian Qingling proposed, "Sister Xuan, why don’t we go take a look at her later?" "That’s right," Lian Qingxuan nodded and asked, "Did you prepare any gifts?" "Mm." When Lian Qingzhi brought up the matter of the gift, she was displeased. She was clearly younger than Tang Yue, yet she had to give her a gift. But because their parents insisted they prepare gifts, they did it perfunctorily. Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling, the sisters, gave a set of jewelry, moderately priced, exquisite, and good-looking, which was the most thoughtless gift one could give, yet it was still respectable when given. Heading over to the Lian Family’s place, the hustle and bustle of the scene and the house specially decorated with fresh flowers, signified the semi-annual family gathering was just this grand. The sisters exchanged glances, understanding the celebration in honor of Tang Yue’s return held by Grandpa Lian. Although it wasn’t a big event, it was very thoughtful, showing Grandpa Lian’s consideration for Tang Yue. Hearing about it was one thing but seeing it with their own eyes was another. Usually, Lian Qingqing was doing quite well, but Grandpa Lian had never made such a fuss over Lian Qingqing, had he? After greeting Grandpa Lian, they went upstairs. As they stepped on the staircase leading to the third floor, they could hear Lian Qingyang’s voice. "Sister Xiao Yue, you’re really a genius," Lian Qingyang praised, his eyes full of amazement as he looked at Tang Yue. Initially, the makeup artist gave Tang Yue a rather heavy makeup look, but Tang Yue didn’t like it. She washed her face and reapplied a light makeup instead, which highlighted all her strengths. Her temperament was naturally serene, and the heavy makeup didn’t suit her, making her less beautiful instead. Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh: "Your standard for genius is a bit low, isn’t it?" "Where is it low? Sister Xiao Yue, you’re a genius in your own right," Lian Qingyang said with a hint of pride. Lian Qingxuan and the others exchanged glances. Lian Qingzhi was the most impulsive among them; she ran into the house eagerly, wanting to see what the person who made Lian Qingyang praise as a genius looked like. The door was not closed, and upon reaching the door, Lian Qingxuan saw Tang Yue standing in the center of the room. Tang Yue had bright eyes and pearly white teeth. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky, adding to her animated charm. Standing tall and slender next to Lian Qingyang, she was only half a head shorter than him. Her features were delicate and beautiful, and she wore a simple white lotus leaf dress which looked graceful and ethereal on her. She smiled warmly, like an immortal descending to earth. Before, Lian Qingzhi thought Lian Qingqing was already very pretty, but standing beside Tang Yue, she seemed to pale in comparison. "Qing Zhi, why aren’t you coming in?" Lian Qingling followed soon after and was also struck with awe upon seeing Tang Yue. "Qingyang, are they your sisters?" Tang Yue’s voice was crisp, like the clash of pearls and jade. "Yes," Lian Qingyang nodded, "Qing Zhi, Qing Ling, this is Sister Xiao Yue." "Sister Xuan, you’re back too?" Lian Qingyang’s smile brightened considerably when he saw Lian Qingxuan. Lian Qingyang didn’t particularly enjoy the noisy company of sisters Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling but held a favorable impression of Lian Qingxuan. "Her name is Tang Yue, she’s Dad’s daughter," Lian Qingyang introduced solemnly. "This is Second Uncle’s daughter, Lian Qingxuan; she’s already married. These twins are from Third Uncle’s family, the playful one here is Lian Qingzhi, and the quieter one is Lian Qingling." "Nice to meet you," Tang Yue greeted them with a gentle smile, realizing that the Lian family indeed had a gene for twins. "Sister Xiao Yue, you haven’t changed back to the Lian surname?" Lian Qingzhi asked innocently, tilting her head with a puzzled look directed at Tang Yue. Lian Qingyang stepped forward, protectively explaining to Tang Yue: "Qing Zhi, Grandpa suggested Sister Xiao Yue change her name, but Sister Xiao Yue feels that being a Lian or a Tang is the same, so there is no need to change, and Grandpa agreed." "Fourth Brother, Qing Zhi is straightforward; she asks whatever is on her mind. Sister Xiao Yue, I hope you don’t mind," Lian Qingyang said with an amiable smile. If they didn’t speak, the sisters looked quite similar, but once they spoke, the difference was significant. In the entire Lian family, Lian Qingyang ranked fourth, hence Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling both called him Fourth Brother. "No matter what surname Sister Xiao Yue has, she is my sister," Lian Qingyang said earnestly, his words also serving as a warning to the sisters Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling. Official source is novel-fire.ɴet Lian Qingyang looked behind him and asked, "By the way, haven’t Big Brother and Second Brother come back yet?" Grandpa had said that everyone should come back, except for Lian Qingqing. Big Brother Lian Qinghang was busy managing affairs at the company, and Second Brother Lian Qingfeng could also make it back from Hai City University. "They are still behind," Lian Qingzhi explained with a smile, glancing to the side. She wouldn’t have noticed if she didn’t look, but once she did, she saw Meng Siyu sitting on the sofa.
