290 Counterfeit?
In the banquet hall.
Yun Wei looked at everyone from the Bai Family and felt some trepidation in her heart.
She didn’t know what Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen were doing. She then glanced at the gift box in her hands and didn’t know how she should face Old Master Bai.
At this moment, Third Madam Bai suddenly spoke, “Miss Yun, why don’t you get started? Could it be that there are still some people whom you have yet to introduce yourself to?”
In influential families, it was considered one of the most basic abilities for a female head of the family to swiftly remember everyone.
Fourth Madam Bai felt her heart pounding.
There was a reason why people from the four great families would only marry families of equal standing. It was very rare for them to have a marriage with outsiders.
This was because, since they were young, the females were all trained to be good in all aspects that a female leader should have.
If Yun Wei couldn’t accurately identify who was who now, she would become the joke of the day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFourth Madam Bai felt somewhat depressed in her heart. This was the vexation that came about from marrying someone from a smaller family.
But how should she remind Yun Wei?
Just when Fourth Madam Bai was worrying, she saw Yun Wei walking toward a girl. “Seventh cousin, this is the first time we met. Please accept this small gift of mine.”
Yun Wei had treated herself as a strong career woman since she was young and was nurtured in such a role as well. With her having an unreliable ex-fiance, how could she be weak to deal with him and his family?
Yun Wei then sent a few more gifts to the cousins and their wives. She didn’t make a single mistake in recognizing them!
After receiving their gifts in return, she started to move on to the seniors.
The gifts weren’t considered valuable, but they exuded sincerity.
Yun Wei gave Third Madam Bai a pearl brooch.
Third Madam Bai looked at it for a long time before she suddenly laughed. “Why does this look so familiar? Could it be that this is something that the fourth sister-in-law took from her own dowry and got you to give to me?”
Fourth Madam Bai’s heart clenched.
Since she had given it to Yun Wei as a gift, it naturally belonged to Yun Wei’s private property and she had never taken it out before.
Third Madam Bai was clearly intending to make things difficult for Yun Wei.
However, Fourth Madam Bai had never pre-warned Yun Wei, so she was afraid that Yun Wei might look embarrassed and others could tell it was so!
But at the next moment, she heard Yun Wei saying, “Auntie, does Third Aunt know what you have in your dowry?”
She then frowned. “I’m from Ford City so I don’t really know the rules of the four influential families from the capital. If this is the case, I’ll find another day to bring all my dowry over so everyone can have a good look.”
After she said this, Old Master Bai’s face immediately turned black.
It sounded like the Bai Family was coveting their daughter-in-law’s dowry.
Matriarch Bai also reprimanded Third Madam Bai, “Third daughter-in-law, don’t speak nonsense if you are bad at speaking!”
Third Madam Bai choked, “I didn’t say that I want to look at her dowry!”
Yun Wei then continued, “You knew what items there were in Auntie’s dowry so I thought…In that case, since the Bai Family doesn’t have such a rule, how does the third aunt know about this pearl brooch?”
Third Madam Bai. “???”
Everyone turned to look at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Bai Xiaojiu’s eldest sister-in-law, Shen Wanying, suddenly spoke. “Third aunt has probably seen fourth aunt wearing a similar piece before. Actually, all pearls look alike.”
Third Madam Bai then held her breath and could only agree. “Correct.”
Yun Wei directly occupied an advantage.
Even Fourth Madam Bai who was watching from the side was stunned. After that, she felt joy in her heart.
She was wondering how Old Master Bai could find a useless daughter-in-law for her son. So, Yun Wei’s political ability was so strong!
At this moment, her gaze was filled with satisfaction when she looked at Yun Wei. She was growing increasingly fonder of this daughter-in-law!
After Yun Wei finished sending gifts to the seniors, she then looked at Old Master Bai and Matriarch Bai who were seated in the main seats.
She clenched her fists and inhaled deeply.
At this moment, Bai Xiaojiu finally arrived.
Bai Zhongzhang smiled and said, “I heard that Yun Wei is planning to give a calligraphy piece by Madman to grandfather? Recently, I’ve been researching cursive scripts as well. I wonder if you can take it out and show it to everyone so we can admire it?”
Yun Wei, who was moving over to pass the gift box to Old Master Bai, suddenly halted her steps.
Bai Xiaojiu laughed. “Eldest brother, let’s wait for grandpa to finish viewing it before anything else.”
Bai Xiaojiu’s fifth brother revealed an expression of waiting to watch a good show. “Why can’t we view it now? Madman’s calligraphy piece? Grandfather has been searching for so many years but didn’t manage to buy it. Can the Yun Family really succeed in buying one? Could they have made a counterfeit to swindle grandfather? If not, why doesn’t she dare to take it out?”
