Chapter 253: Dancing With Elder Brother Li (1)

The birthday banquet officially began at eight in the evening.

Old Madame Xie wore a Tang Dynasty style dress and sat down grandly at the head of the table, accepting well-wishes from the younger guests and relatives. Even Ye Tianxin was brought by Li Qingcang to Old Madame Xie to wish her a happy birthday.

Li Qingcang presented a gift box and said, “Old Madame, this was embroidered by our Tianxin. Give it a try and see whether it fits.”

Old Madame Xie accepted the wooden box and lifted the lid. She looked at the hand-embroidered cloth shoes in the box with a wide smile.

The embroidery was well done, and it looked as if it were real.

Old Madame Xie fell in love with the shoes when she laid her eyes on them.

“This is incredible!” she exclaimed. “Little Tianxin is so young but can embroider so well.”

Ye Tianxin smiled shyly. “I only started learning how to embroider. This is an ancient embroidery method of Jiameng. I figured if I don’t learn it, this kind of embroidery would be lost in the future.”

“You’re such a good child.”

Old Madame Xie liked Ye Tianxin the more she looked at her.

What was wrong with the Feng shui in her home? Why did they only have boys?

When would the Xie family have a little princess?

Many people came forward, offering their well-wishes. Old Madame Xie was kissing cheeks and shaking hands one after the other.

No matter how energetic the old madame was, she was also exhausted in the end.

Old Madame Xie loved watching operas. The Xie family specially invited famous Peking opera actors over to celebrate the old madame’s birthday. The opera they sang was ‘Teaching Children’.

Ye Tianxin looked at the people who came to attend the birthday banquet. Many familiar faces only appeared in the news.

It could be seen how high the Xie family’s standing was.

This was a social circle she had never had any contact with in the past.

Just then, Jing Zhichen sat down beside Ye Tianxin. He muttered, “Tianxin, do you have any plans later?”

“Yes.”

Ye Tianxin smiled.

“Oh, right. Elder Brother Li, Elder Brother Jing, I have good news for you two.”

Li Qingcang rarely attended such banquets. He was seated beside Ye Tianxin and was feeling a little bored, so he cracked sunflower seeds, pine nuts, pistachios, and other snacks for Ye Tianxin.

“What’s the good news?”

“I…I think I found Grandaunt.”

“When? Where is she?” Jing Zhichen exclaimed

Ye Tianxin pointed at her grandaunt who was seated beside Old Madame Xie. “There. It’s that old madame over there.”

Jing Zhichen suddenly stood up. His lips trembled as he remarked, “You didn’t get the wrong person, did you?”

“I asked her if she was Xinya, and she asked me how I knew her nickname. I am worried that I got the wrong person as well, so I am going to bring Grandmother to the capital tomorrow. We have to do a DNA test no matter what.”

Ye Tianxin’s instincts told her that the old lady was her grandaunt.

That was definitely her grandaunt.

That feeling could not be wrong.

“Tianxin, we are relatives,” Jing Zhichen uttered.

“What?” Ye Tianxin was shocked.

Li Qingcang put the sunflower seeds, the pine nuts, and pistachios into a little dish and push it in front of Ye Tianxin.

He said calmly, “Tianxin, the grandaunt you mentioned is Jing Zhichen’s grandmother, his dad’s mom.”

“I…” Ye Tianxin was speechless.

She could not believe that this was real.

Jing Zhichen could not believe it either.

He said after a while, “No wonder I thought your grandmother seemed kind. She and my grandmother are sisters!”

Patting his forehead, Jing Zhichen then continued, “I was wondering why that song sounded so familiar. I heard it in the past.”

‘How stupid could I get?’ Jing Zhichen thought.
