Chapter 1344 Who is this young lady?
At this moment, the six people were standing outside the courtyard, and behind them were four men dressed in the same attire. If Mengyu guessed correctly, these four should be the Hidden Guards of the Leng Family, publicly declared as disciples.
Upon seeing them, Mengyu decisively instructed, "Xiao Li—Qingshan, go to the Jade Court on the next street and get it ready immediately."
Fortunately, Mengyu had previously planned to buy the courtyard to furnish the rooms and had bought many household items as well. She directly handed the ring containing those items to Qingshan.
Qingshan agreed and left.
Outside the courtyard door, Mengyu’s Second Aunt, Lin Xiang, had already spoken discontentedly, "What’s going on? Wasn’t this supposed to be Nan Mengyu’s courtyard? All us elders from the grandparents’ side have arrived, why hasn’t anyone come out to greet us?"
Qing Wen touched his nose, feeling ignored. It seemed height was a big problem indeed.
He ignored Lin Xiang’s words and asked while looking up, "Who are you all? Why are you looking for my master?"
The Leng Family followed the voice and looked down, only to find a Little Douding who seemed less than three years old on the ground.
Second Aunt Lin Xiang frowned even more, "Is this Mengyu recognizing the Nan Family and getting arrogant? Sending a three-year-old child to receive us?"
Actually, they had just knocked on the door, and normally, people wouldn’t come out to greet them so quickly, right?
Of course, Qing Wen, who ran out as soon as he heard the sound, was an exception.
Beside Second Aunt, a girl of sixteen or seventeen with big eyes was observing the courtyard. Hearing Second Aunt’s words, she said, "Second Aunt, didn’t you say Second Uncle recognized that Nan Mengyu as his goddaughter? You, the godmother, are at the door, why hasn’t she come out to greet you?"
The Arctic Bear heard this and was very displeased, wanting to curse but was held back by Eldest Aunt.
Mengyu happened to come out to greet, heard the girl’s words, glanced at her, and then bowed to Eldest Uncle and Aunt, "Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, and Little Cousin have arrived. I was just inside tidying up the room. As soon as I heard someone knocking, I dropped my broom and came out. I can’t see people through a door with my eyes, so I didn’t realize Uncle and Aunt were here. I apologize for not coming out sooner."
But my new disciple is so curious, as soon as he heard someone coming, he ran out to open the door."
Her words naturally informed everyone that she came out as soon as she heard knocking; there’s no question of not coming out sooner. Moreover, you just knocked without saying who you were, how would I know who came?
The girl seemed to be targeted by Mengyu’s words, wanting to argue but not knowing how, simply snorted and turned away.
Mengyu heard her snort but turned to face her, "Who is this young lady?"
Eldest Uncle quickly introduced, "This is your Second Aunt, and the one on the left is your Oldest Cousin, Leng Zirong, who is nineteen, studying at Harvard University. There are also two other cousins who are twins; they didn’t come today. On the right side is your Second Aunt’s niece, Lin Shasha. We came today because your grandparents miss you and want to invite you back to the Leng Family for New Year."
Lin Shasha, listening to Eldest Uncle’s introduction, felt something was wrong and quickly interjected, "Isn’t it right? Didn’t Miss Nan recognize my Second Uncle as her godfather and should call Second Aunt godmother and call me cousin?"
Lin Shasha spoke, looking at Mengyu with an unfriendly gaze. Hmph, wanting to be my Second Aunt’s goddaughter, you haven’t gotten past me yet.
