Chapter 351 - 351: Favorable Impression 3
A woman who could secure the position of the Nangong family matriarch for so many years was undoubtedly not on the same level as her mother, Lin Wanqin.
Therefore, the little tricks she used in front of her mother might not work in front of Mrs. Nangong.
Her most important goal today was to win Mrs. Nangongs favor. Of course, this wasn’t just to complete the system’s mission, but also for her and Nangong Xuyao’s future. She was quite sure Nangong Xuyao liked her currently. However, if she wanted to become the wife of the young master of the Nangong family, then the support of Mrs. Nangong, Nangong Xuyao’s mother, would be crucial for her.
Soon, Nangong Xuyao brought Ye Xiyuan to his mother, who was also the current Nangong family matriarch, Murong Yanshu. He then solemnly introduced, “Mother, this is the Ye Xiyuan I mentioned to you before.”
As the hostess today and current matriarch of the Nangong family, Murong Yanshu did not need to socialize with others. At this moment, she was sitting there watching everything happening at the banquet. The butler was standing beside her, attending to her.
Therefore, the moment Nangong Xuyao brought Ye Xiyuan into the banquet hall, she had already seen them. Or rather, she had already known of such a person’s existence even before Ye Xiyuan arrived.
Of course, she also knew that Ye Xiyuan had once saved Nangong Xuyao’s life. Thus, in the beginning, although she had never met this girl called Ye Xiyuan, she still had a good impression of her.
However, even with that good impression, she still sent people to investigate Ye Xiyuan’s background. Of course, she knew her son would investigate the girl too.
Unlike Nangong Xuyao though, after receiving the investigation report, her fondness for Ye Xiyuan plummeted. Being a woman herself, she saw through all of Ye Xiyuan’s little tricks. She was well aware that Ye Xiyuan was a very scheming girl.
In normal circumstances, she might have admired such a tactful and clever girl. But if her own son liked such a girl, that was another story. She hoped her future daughter-in-law would be a prestigious young lady who could be cunning but used her skills for the greater good, not on trivial matters. Considering Ye Xiyuan’s upbringing, she was not fit for the responsibility of being the matriarch of a great family.
When Ye Xiyuan entered with Xuyao just now, she could see the ambition in the girl’s eyes from afar.
Ambition was fine, but if one’s abilities weren’t up to par, then all ambition was a joke.
“So you’re Xiyuan!” Although her heart had gone through countless thoughts, there was not a trace of it on Murong Yanshu’s face. “I’ve heard from Xuyao that if it weren’t for you back then, he might have…”
When she spoke to this point, her voice choked up a little.
Indeed, she truly was grateful to Ye Xiyuan for saving Nangong Xuyao. Nangong Xuyao was her only son, he was her life. She didn’t dare imagine what she would do if something really happened to him back then. “Auntie, I just happened to be passing by,” Ye Xiyuan said, seeming a bit shy. She smiled and said, “Besides, even without me, someone else would have been there. Young Master Nangong has good fortune on his side, and he would have been fine for sure.’
Although Murong Yanshu wasn’t as intimate with Ye Xiyuan as she appeared on the surface, she was still in a good mood hearing those words. She smiled and nodded, “It seems girls really are the warmest! Miss Ye, you have a pleasant way of speaking.”
Hearing Murong Yanshu’s praise, Ye Xiyuan bashfully lowered her head.
In fact, she was already calling out to the System in her heart, “System, what is the current favorability rating of Nangong Xuyao’s mother toward me right
Seeing Murong Yanshu’s expression, she felt her mission today would be completed very soon. As expected, with the halo of being Nangong Xuyao’s lifesaver, it was much easier to gain Murong Yanshu’s favorability..
