The interior decoration of the Zuo family's main residence is even more luxurious than imagined, with European crystal lamps more than ten meters high, walls covered with warm-toned marble, and spiral staircases made of Southeast Asian rosewood.
The curtains in the living room are half-closed, and the sunlight cannot fully penetrate, leaving it half-dark and half-dark, adding a mysterious feeling.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and even the sound of the swinging brass pendulum of a Western clock could be heard clearly.
An Yunxi walked into the living room cautiously, not seeing even a single figure. Sure enough, as Shen Xiuyun said, Zhao Jinrong dismissed everyone and asked to see her alone.
"Dang" sound.
The western clock reached twelve o'clock and made a clear striking sound.
An Yunxi was startled, and her heartbeat rose sharply. She covered her chest and looked around nervously. Her eyes fell on a door not far away that was ajar. Through the screen, there seemed to be someone inside. She
Walked over slowly.
When she got closer, a low and cold voice came from inside.
"come in."
An Yunxi took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and showed the smile she was always good at.
She opened the door and saw Zhao Jinrong sitting upright on the sofa, wearing a light blue new-style cheongsam, loose and elegant. Although he was thin, he was in good spirits. His hair was meticulously combed, and he looked tall and deep, as steady as Mount Tai.
The Zhao Jinrong in front of him did not look like a terminally ill person at all.
An Yunxi called out respectfully, "Hello, grandma." She thought for a while, but there was no suitable title. It would be more cordial to just call her grandma.
"Please sit down, can you make tea?" Zhao Jinrong extended his hand and pointed at the tea sets placed on the table.
An Yunxi nodded quickly, "Yes. I'll make tea." Since entering the Xia family, she has also learned some upper-class etiquette. Flower arranging, tea art, and golf are all necessary skills.
She skillfully boiled water, washed cups, poured tea, brewed it, and then served the tea respectfully.
Zhao Jinrong took the tea cup, tasted it carefully, and said slowly, "The tea tastes okay, but the person who made the tea obviously felt impatient and did not calm down."
An Yunxi was embarrassed when she came up. She couldn't sit or stand, so she had to say, "Grandma, let me make it again."
"It's okay, no need. I heard that the Xia family found you in the orphanage?" Zhao Jinrong asked.
"Yes." An Yunxi replied.
"I heard that Qiao Ran also grew up in an orphanage. There are not many orphanages in K City. Could it be that you two were in the same orphanage?" Zhao Jinrong asked doubtfully.
"We are indeed from the same family. Qiao Ran and I grew up together." An Yunxi felt uncomfortable when she mentioned Qiao Ran. She always compared her with Qiao Ran, which made her very disgusted. But she couldn't show it in front of Zhao Jinrong.
.
"Your mother, Qin Ninzhen, has a calm and calm personality, and is restrained and generous. I like her very much. When she accidentally lost her child, she was so grief-stricken that she didn't care about anything else and focused on looking for her child. I also know this. Qin Ninzhen has been really suffering these years.
You've been living in the orphanage for twenty years and you've suffered a lot." Zhao Jinrong sighed.
"Yes, my mother suffered too much to find me. I will definitely be filial to her in the future and will not let her down." An Yunxi glanced at Zhao Jinrong secretly.
Zhao Jinrong's extraordinary demeanor and cold eyebrows are exactly the same as those of Zuo Chenye.
