Chapter 1595: 1595 Su Xingyun penny-pincher
“Aiyo…we’ve just seen a heavenly beautiful woman…” the custors at the tables kept exclaiming in admiration.
Accustod to everyone’s praises, Gongsun Qianru, accompanied by Maid Xiahe, approached Su Qingyue’s table, greeted Gongsun Yanli first, then curtseyed towards Su Qingyue with the grace of a well-bred young lady.
“Younger sister, why have you co?” Gongsun Yanli asked with a disinterested tone.
The Gongsun Family had many siblings, more than ten in total.
Among the male heirs, Gongsun Yanli was the eldest son, followed by the second son Gongsun Yanhao and the third son Gongsun Yanbin. The daughters included the fourth daughter Gongsun Jingyue, with Gongsun Qianru ranked fifth and Gongsun Qianshuang sixth.
Gongsun Jingyue and the other children had all died; only five were alive.
“I ca for tea and happened upon older brother by chance.” Gongsun Qianru had actually co for Su Qingyue, of course, not knowing the person before her was Su Qingyue.
She had heard downstairs that her eldest brother was with a young man. Her brother was always indifferent to people—rarely sharing a table to drink with anyone—thus whoever was sitting with her eldest brother must be a dragon among n or from an extraordinary family background.
After her divorce with that unfaithful man Ning Bolan, and being no longer young, she naturally needed to pay more attention to young talents. Besides, she believed that with her beauty, even after one divorce, any man who saw her would still be utterly enchanted.
Seeing that the man in front of her was of average appearance led to a slight disappointnt within her, yet she still asked politely, “May I know who this young master is?”
“I am Su Xingyun.” Su Qingyue slightly bowed, her voice edged with a magnetic male tone. With her skills, practicing ventriloquism was normal in the presence of outsiders, always modifying to a manly voice.
“So you’re Young Master Su,” Gongsun Qianru said with a smile, instantly captivating the room.
Many of the guests in the second-floor hall who were drinking tea seed spellbound.
“Whose family’s well-bred young lady is this?” asked guests at one table. Another group replied, “She’s the eldest miss of the first-class Gongsun aristocratic family, Gongsun Qianru.”
“So she’s a young lady from a first-class family. I was thinking of proposing marriage, but she’s out of my league…” so lanted.
Hearing the adulation from the guys, Gongsun Qianru’s face flushed with coy shyness, and she quickly pondered the na Su Xingyun in her mind. She had never heard of the na before; he was probably not the son of any current nobility, so her interest imdiately waned.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.” Su Qingyue unfolded her folding fan and stepped away.
Watching ‘his’ retreating figure, Gongsun Qianru felt sowhat vexed. How could this man not give her so much as a proper glance? Was he blind? Had he not seen that the world’s most beautiful woman was present, and still he was in such a rush to leave. “Older brother, who is that person?”
“rely a rich rchant,” Gongsun Yanli replied. “Why, younger sister, are you interested?”
“So he’s just a re rchant. Ru’er was just curious about who could make older brother so condescending as to share a table with him.”
“It’s nothing, I was just bored,” Gongsun Yanli gestured, “Waiter, the check, please.”
Gongsun Qianru huffed, “That Su Xingyun really doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness. He actually made older brother pay for the tea. He must be so cheap scrooge.”
“Speaking so of others in public is unbecoming,” Gongsun Yanli said, displeased.
Qianru whispered back, “But I’m not wrong.”
The waiter ca over at that mont, bowing low, “Eldest Young Master Gongsun, Miss Gongsun, when Young Master Su drinks tea at our establishnt, he always runs a tab that is settled once at the end of the month at the Su Mansion; no extra paynt is needed.”
