Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 23 Part 2: An acquaintance

When Jiang Li went out of the residence, the person in charge of the gate was somewhat nervous. Luckily, Xiang Qiao was very familiar with him. She chatted warmly and spoke a few sentences and he ordered two bodyguards to follow the Jiang residence carriage.

Perhaps he felt that Jiang Li wasn’t valued at all in the residence, therefore these bodyguards were young and pathetic. But it was just as good since Jiang Li did not wish to be followed by someone who would think too much.

Tong’er let out her breath after they passed the Jiang residence’s door. During this period, she had felt unbearably stifled staying at the Jiang residence, afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Li. Every day she was careful and acted even more cautiously, living each day as if walking on thin ice. Once they were outside, she suddenly felt the constantly annoying Xiang Qiao was not as hateful.

Xiang Qiao was also unabashed. She spoke right away once they got out: “Second miss, this servant knows the best jewelry shop in Yanjing is Jixiang Lou.”

“Then let’s go to Jixiang Lou.” It wasn’t good for Jiang Li to say anything else.

Actually, the family of Jiang Li’s maternal grandmother, Ye family, started by selling jewels and precious stones. Although it wasn’t as famous as Jixiang Lou, it still had weight. Afterwards, the development of Ye family’s business expanded more and more. So they no longer attached much importance to this jewels and precious stones business.

When they arrived at Jixiang Lou, the shop assistant noticed Xiang Qiao coming over and greeted her warmly. He then saw Jiang Li by her side and was blank for a while before blurting out: “This noble person is.......”

Previously, Xiang Qiao came together with Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao. Today Xiang Qiao came by herself to accompany a different young lady. This young lady was obviously sitting in Jiang family’s carriage. Her appearance was extremely unfamiliar, making the shop assistant felt apprehensive. It wasn’t the shu daughter of the Jiang family, could she be a distant relative of the Jiang family?

As he was thinking, he saw Xiang Qiao exposed a strange expression. She hesitated for a while before awkwardly opened her mouth: “This is the second miss of our residence.”

The shop assistant heard her say “second miss” and before fully understanding, he had an enthusiastic smile on his face. Since when does the Jiang family have a second miss? The moment he looked at Jiang Li, he suddenly reacted, almost choking on his own saliva.

Second miss? That second miss who was sent to the nunnery to cultivate her character after harming her stepmother and brother!

Her face wasn’t like what the rumor said, ghostly and sinister, inauspicious and fierce. She also wasn’t sharp and vicious as imagined. Facing the girl, she wearing a moon white gauze skirt with a small jacket the color of jade, her look was simple and light. At this time, seeing him, she inclined her head slightly. As if she found him amusing, there was a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Crystal clear and gentle, elegant and charming appearance, clearly she was the female immortal jade child under the Bodhisattva.1

Mother, how can this be the Jiang family’s second miss?

The shop assistant only felt dizzy and confused. Tong’er wrinkled her brows and angrily spoke: “This young brother, you don’t plan to welcome your customer?”

The shop assistant immediately came back to his senses and apologized repeatedly. He sneaked a glance at Jiang Li to see her still smiling gently without any anger. His original sober mind, in a split second, turned somewhat stupid again.

He welcomed the few people to go inside the shop while thinking, why does the shop happen to be empty today? In the main hall, not a single person is present. If not, those customers could see the appearance of the malicious Jiang second miss when she grew up. They would definitely be startled, more than he was!

Jiang Li’s group of people went inside Jixiang Lou. Not far away, right across Jixiang Lou, a gorgeous building stood tall. A dazzling sight, like a floating immortal.

Two people were sitting by the upstairs window. One of them opened his mouth to speak: “You see, a person from the Jiang family.”

On the opposite side, a hand was lifting a teapot and lightly poured the content into a cup. The clear joints of the hand was surprisingly a bit fairer than the slender porcelain teapot.

“Oh.” The voice carried a bit of laziness, “an acquaintance.”

Yup yup we know, whenever someone watches MC from a tea store or whatever across the street, it’s bound to be ML. The same if someone speaks with a voice carrying a bit of laziness, that’s either MC or ML.... >.< gotta say, not original at all sigh...
