When a young girl receive praise, most people would respond with a show of shyness, especially in front of respected elders.
Not so with Ming Jing. She didn't flinch, didn't even bat an eyelid, as calm as if this were just casual conversation.
More terrifying was that Madam Jiang didn't display any annoyance, but instead laughed more heartily.
Granny Zhu and Zhu Xiangxiang were both quite surprised.
The difference was that Granny Zhu was proud, while Zhu Xiangxiang… was resentful.
"Aunt Lan." Ming Jing called out.
Jiang Chunlan responded handing over a gift bag to her: "A small gift, congratulations on finding your family."
"Thank you."
"Jin Chen is also here, you both are young; spend some more time together. He is usually a little introverted, but I noticed he lightens up when he talks to you."
Granny Zhu had a strange feeling about this. She gazed at this mysterious woman of high status from the rumors. Did the rumors get it wrong, or was she blind?
