Chapter Sixteen: There's Nowhere To Cry If You Want To Cry
Xin Nianyan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, this is a gift from me, see if you like it."
With that said, he took the box from Xiaozhu and handed it to Chen Jinyan.
Chen Jinyan opened it and took a look, her eyes suddenly lit up: "What is this?"
"The dagger I specially asked someone to make is not brand new. Cousin, please don't mind~" Xin Nianyan said coquettishly. Even though she was coquettish, she did not forget to pretend to be weak.
This look makes me even more pitiful.
Chen Jinyan happily took out the dagger, made some gestures, and found that it was particularly easy to use.
"Why do you mind? I like it so much, cousin. How do you know I like this?"
The gifts given by others were all jewelry and rouge and gouache, but she actually didn't like them at all.
So as soon as I saw the dagger given by Xin Nianyan, I couldn't put it down.
"Ho ho ho~ As long as my cousin likes it~"
At this time, Xin Rou'er also came up and said softly: "Cousin Jinyan, this is Rou'er's gift to my cousin. I hope my cousin likes it~"
She said and handed over a brocade box, which looked much more exquisite than Xin Nianyan's.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jinyan didn't even look at it, she just said thank you casually, asked the maid to take it, and went back to chatting and laughing with Xin Nianyan.
The smile on Xin Rouer's face suddenly froze, she clenched her fist secretly, then her eyes turned red, she bit her lip and looked at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan happened to look at her as well, and the two looked at each other. Qin Yan was immediately stung by the grievance in her eyes and felt a pain in his heart.
I thought I had indeed ignored her a bit today.
Because he learned that Xin Rou'er had lied to him two days ago, Qin Yan felt resentful and became much colder towards Xin Rou'er.
But after all, she is the woman that Xin Dong likes, so naturally she cannot bear to see her being wronged.
"Yan'er gave me a dagger. I wonder what Miss Xin Er gave me?" Qin Yan asked calmly.
At that moment, everyone felt that he was speaking for Xin Rouer.
The smile on Chen Jinyan's face faded, and she felt unhappy.
Xin Rouer raised the corner of her mouth imperceptibly.
Sure enough, the prince still cares about her.
He looked at Xin Nianyan with provocative eyes, then turned into modesty in an instant, and stroking his hair in embarrassment: "It's nothing, just a simple set of heads and faces, not comparable to my sister's dagger."
She deliberately emphasized the word "dagger" because she wanted to tell everyone how unlucky it was for Xin Nianyan to give something like a dagger to others on a day when they were young.
Although her face has not been opened yet, just looking at the box, she can tell that it is worth a lot of money, much more precious than Xin Nianyan's dagger.
However, Chen Jinyan didn't give her any face at all. When others heard this, they would humbly agree with her. Even if they didn't agree, they wouldn't say anything bad.
Chen Jinyan said directly: "Young man, that's nothing compared to this dagger. I really like this dagger given by my cousin."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and made a beautiful dance with the dagger in her hand.
Xin Rouer's face froze, she was really embarrassed now.
Originally, there were many guests coming to attend the wedding ceremony today, so they stayed here for a while, and other guests had already come over, and naturally they heard their conversation.
Seeing Xin Rouer's embarrassed face, everyone looked at her with unclear expressions.
Even the eyes with unclear meanings still turned to Xin Rou'er and Qin Yan, and finally fell on Xin Nianyan, turning pitiful.
Isn't it pitiful that my fiancé was snatched away by my sister before we even got married?
But this fiancé is still a prince, so I can’t even cry even if I want to.
Feeling the looks coming from around him, Qin Yan felt his face was burning, and he stopped thinking about helping Xin Rou'er to speak.
It happened that Chen Yangxuan came out to greet the guests at this time, so he left together with Chen Yangxuan and several other young men from aristocratic families.
As soon as the prince left, Xin Rouer felt that there was no one to support her. She felt the strange looks from the people around her and the whispered comments to her, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Xin Nianyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked inside with Chen Jinyan.
Looking at their backs, Xin Rouer's hands under her sleeves clenched tightly into fists, and she almost tore the handkerchief to pieces.
"Rou'er." Zhang Yunhui was afraid that she would lose her temper in public, so she hurriedly stepped forward to wake her up.
Xin Rouer came back to her senses and looked at Zhang Yunhui with red eyes: "Mother..."
Hearing the cry in her tone, Zhang Yunhui felt heartbroken and touched her head: "It's okay, Rou'er. Maybe Miss Chen just wants to talk to your sister more, so let's not disturb them."
She deliberately amplified her voice to let others know that Chen Jinyan deliberately ignored them in order to greet Xin Nianyan.
Then she leaned close to Xin Rou'er's ear and whispered: "Rou'er, calm down. Today, mother will definitely ruin Xin Nianyan's reputation and let the prince know what kind of thing she is."
Xin Rouer was slightly startled and looked at Zhang Yunhui in surprise. When she saw the darkness in Zhang Yunhui's eyes, she felt happy.
"Yes." Xin Rouer nodded, and just then a woman who was familiar with her came over, and the two of them walked in together.
Xin Nianyan was brought to Mrs. Chen by Chen Jinyan. It was bustling outside, but it was very quiet here.
Seeing the old man with half-white hair and a kind but heroic face, Xin Nianyan's eyes turned red and tears almost came out of his eyes.
"Grandma..."
Mrs. Chen felt extremely distressed the moment she saw Xin Nianyan. When she heard her crying voice, she felt as if her heart was being pinched and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Yan'er..."
Mrs. Chen stood up, stretched out her hand and walked towards Xin Nianyan.
Xin Nianyan hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand: "Grandma."
"Yan'er, why is your face so pale and your hands so cold? Come on, come here and warm me up. I feel so bad for my grandma."
After Mrs. Chen pulled Xin Nianyan to her side, she put her hand warmer into her hands without even rubbing her hands. Her eyes were filled with distress.
"That day I heard that you fell down from Baiyun Restaurant. Grandma wanted to go see you, but your aunt and others refused to let you go. She also said that your cousins had all come back from the visit and said that you were fine. Where are you?
It looks like nothing is wrong with your face and your forehead. Yan'er, does the wound hurt?"
Mrs. Chen caressed Xin Nianyan's face and wanted to touch her gauze-wrapped forehead, but was afraid of hurting her.
Xin Nianyan felt warm in her heart. She grabbed Mrs. Chen's hand and comforted her: "Grandma, aunt and others are also afraid that the weather will be too cold. It won't be good if you go out and blow. Don't worry, Yan'er is fine. Yan'er is fine."
This is transformed."
"It's chemical?" Mrs. Chen was puzzled.
Xin Nianyan nodded lightly: "Well, Xin Rou'er and the prince are here today. Grandma, you also know that those people outside are talking about us now..."
Mrs. Chen immediately understood.
