Free Web NovelChapter 897: Chapter 894: Mysterious Wedding Gift (Part 1)
The entire place was deathly silent. Everyone was staring at Yan Xixi.
The Huang family’s relatives and friends weren’t exactly strangers to her.
However, they’d never seen her attend so... dressed up.
The noble fox fur made her skin appear translucent, her demeanor exuding elegance and grandeur, entirely unlike the timid and weak creature she once was, or the destitute con artist of the past... She was even composed.
Unusually composed.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, without true experience and accumulation, she can never handle a big occasion, nor learn composure, let alone have noble temperament.
But in these past few years, through countless trials, especially during those two months when she was harassed by Yang Wei and others, with tax and business inspections one after another... all the anxiety had already passed.
She had Harvard to thank.
Not that Harvard made her an erudite expert in just a few months, but it broadened her horizons—the most essential gain was confidence.
The greatest benefit Harvard brought was confidence—more powerful than money.
Looking around, here, I am the only one from Harvard.
Solely based on this point, I can scorn the crowd.
This woman is truly stunning.
In Huang Mom’s eyes, it was as if she had grains of sand rubbing constantly; this woman was clearly here to cause trouble... She wanted to sneer, but couldn’t make a sound—things had changed, Yan Xixi was neither something to Huang Xiaojue, nor just that franchise owner... Even if she wanted to mock her as a shameless gold-digger—yet that Harvard aura held her back.
She slightly opened her mouth but didn’t dare to speak out of turn.
Xu Xiaoya also opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out, because, she saw Yan Xixi’s gaze, as soon as Yan Xixi entered the door, she saw her, didn’t greet, just smiled slightly—between the two, with years of friendship, a glance, she already understood her.
Yan Xixi only looked at Zhou Ting and Huang Xiaojue.
Huang Xiaojue was also gazing at her.
Ha, these years—these years.
It was the first time he saw her like this.
Before, even if dressed to the nines, she never had such presence... The restlessness of a small family’s timid girl was gone, she was dignified as if with more poise than Zhou Ting.
"Congratulations to the two of you."
Zhou Ting let out a sigh of relief.
Huang Xiaojue, somehow, also sighed with relief.
Only Huang Mom secretly sneered, staring at Yan Xixi fixedly, wasn’t this woman repeatedly claiming she had some grand gift? Where’s the grand gift???
Other friends and family members had the same thought.
Just then Yan Xixi stepped forward, still with a bright smile: "On the joyous occasion of your wedding, with nothing else to offer, Miss Zhou, I’ll give you this small gift."
Zhou Ting was taken aback.
Something small fell into her palm.
She glanced at it, her heart jolted, immediately clenching it, her face quickly filled with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Yan, you’re too kind."
Yan Xixi remained unperturbed: "Isn’t this gift appropriate?"
"Miss Yan, please sit, and join us for a drink."
Yan Xixi still smiled: "I only came to deliver the gift, not to eat or drink. Today I congratulate the two of you in advance, wishing you a long and prosperous life together, and abundant offspring soon."
"Thank you for your blessings. We hope Miss Yan can grace us with your presence at our official wedding." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Then I’ll really have no opportunity. My studies are too busy."
"Yes, a top student at South Country University, Miss Yan, you must bring glory to the nation."
"Bring glory to the nation? That’s too grand, haha, it’s good enough if I can bring glory to myself."
