Chapter 260: The Loving Elder Brother Li (1)
Yan Qingqing looked at her elder sister through her tears. She stood out bravely and defended Yan Lili, “No, that’s not it. My elder sister didn’t say anything. I was the one who said all those things! I didn’t like Ye Tianxin. I was the one who couldn’t understand why Young Master Li isn’t interested in a wonderful girl like my elder sister but likes Ye Tianxin instead. It’s all my fault. This has nothing to do with my elder sister at all!”
Yan Qingqing sobbed bitterly. She did not want others to laugh at her elder sister.
She was the one at fault. Why did they blame her elder sister for it?
Jing Zhichen’s expression was calm and distant. He thought to himself that Yan Qingqing was a fortunate girl.
She had gotten into so much trouble, but she had her elder sister to clean up after her.
Unlike Ye Tianxin... At an early age, Ye Tianxin learned how to survive with no one to depend on.
“Then, since everyone is here, I, Jing Zhichen, will represent myself and my brother to announce one thing. Ye Tianxin is our younger sister. If anyone dares to gossip or spread rumors behind our backs, that means going against the Jing family!”
Yan Qingqing felt even more resentful when she heard Jing Zhichen’s words.
What exactly was so good about Ye Tianxin?
What did she have?
Yan Lili led Yan Qingqing away from the scene.
Jing Zhichen looked at the quiet crowd and felt that the banquet was boring, so he left as well.
After Jing Zhichen left, no one else dared to talk about Ye Tianxin. Instead, they whispered about the two Yan sisters.
“Yan Qingqing wanted to help Yan Lili, but everyone knows Yan Lili likes Young Master Li. Young Master Li has never even been interested in her.”
“Haven’t you all noticed how handsome Young Master Li was when he danced? His handsome meter was off the charts. Furthermore, his gaze was so gentle.”
“Don’t you think that Ye Tianxin is actually very beautiful? Her skin is really as fair as snow, and her hair is so dark and shiny. She also has a great disposition. If not for Yan Qingqing, I would have thought that she was from some wealthy and powerful family.”
“Think about it. Young Master Li is a really impressive person. Would the person he’s interested in be that bad?”
“Anyway, it’s just Yan Lili who is not good enough. If she’s really that good, wouldn’t Young Master Li like her?”
“If I were Young Master Li, I wouldn’t be with someone like Yan Lili either. Someone like Ye Tianxin who smiles so sweetly is more likable, eh?”
Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin knew nothing about what was happening inside the banquet hall.
The gentle breeze blew against Ye Tianxin’s arms.
Li Qingcang took off his coat and gave it to Ye Tianxin to put on. Li Qingcang was very tall, and his coat made Ye Tianxin look as if she were a little girl who had snuck her father’s jacket out to wear it.
“Tianxin, are you happy today?” Li Qingcang asked. He did not know if Tianxin had heard the rumors about her.
Ye Tianxin’s eyes were bright as she looked at Li Qingcang and nodded.
“I am very happy. If you hadn’t brought me to attend this birthday banquet, I would not have been able to meet my grandaunt. Even though Grandaunt and Grandmother haven’t had their DNA tested yet, I am very sure that she is my grandaunt. Elder Brother Li, if Grandmother were to know that I have found Grandaunt, she would be very happy.”
Li Qingcang saw how easily contented Ye Tianxin was and could not help but pinch her nose. He then asked, “Why are you so easily contented?”
“Knowing when to be content is a blessing.” Ye Tianxin smiled. “Elder Brother Li, have you heard some rumors today?”
