Chapter 392 I'm Already Sixteen
Qingyi was brewing tea on the side. The tea was rich in aroma and had a hint of sweetness.
Cheng Youran took only one sip and his eyes lit up: "What kind of tea is this?"
Qing Yi smiled lightly: "This is Cloudtop Snow Bud."
Du Mingying, who was standing by, was stunned: "Cloudtop Snow Bud?"
"But what about the tribute that goes to the royal family every year?"
Her Du family is also involved in the tea industry and has some knowledge of tea from various countries.
Yunding Snow Bud is the royal tribute tea, and its production is extremely small, with only two kilograms of it being tributed every year.
Her mother accidentally got a few ounces of liquor, but she hid it tightly and was reluctant to drink it. But now Miss Di is using it to entertain guests casually. How can this not be surprising?
Although Cheng Youran didn't know much about tea, she had heard her mother mention it several times.
Di Ran was not surprised that Du Mingying knew about Yunding Snow Bud. After all, the Du family also had a tea business, so it was not surprising for them to know this.
He took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "I got some seedlings from a friend and planted some."
Du Mingying nodded: "I see."
Cheng Youran asked curiously, "From Miss Di's accent, I can tell that she isn't a local."
Di Ran did not hide it: "I am from the capital, I heard about the Liuzhou auction and brought my fiancé here to join in the fun."
Cheng Youran was surprised: "So Miss Di also came for the auction. I see that there are many people coming from all over the place to attend the auction these days. It's a pity that my mother has confined me to my room and won't let me go out."
Speaking of this, Cheng Youran felt depressed.
Ji Yunxie, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Does Miss Cheng know Cheng Lao San?"
Cheng Youran was stunned: "I know him."
"That's the second son of the Cheng family, my second brother Cheng Mingyue."
Ji Yunxie was confused: "Second Young Master?"
Then why is he called Cheng Laosan?
As if seeing Ji Yunxie's confusion, Cheng Youran explained with a smile.
"My legitimate father has three sons and one daughter. Although my second brother is the second oldest among the brothers, he is naughty by nature. He is not as calm and reserved as the eldest brother, nor as smart and shrewd as the third brother."
"In the eyes of outsiders, the third brother looks like the older brother, while the second brother looks like the younger brother. People kept joking around, and the name spread."
Although the generations are a bit confusing, it doesn't have much impact.
Ji Yunxie was stunned: "Forgiveness is like this." Cheng Youran heard him ask this and asked in confusion: "Master Yunxie knows my second brother?"
Ji Yunxie was stunned and said, "I met him at the auction yesterday."
Hearing this, Cheng Youran smiled: "My second brother doesn't have many hobbies on weekdays, he just likes to join in the fun."
In the entire Cheng family, only the second brother treated her well, and their personalities were quite compatible.
Although she was born out of wedlock and he was the legitimate son, he did not have the arrogance and impatience of others.
She likes this second brother very much.
Cheng Youran's gaze fell on Ji Yunxie's face and she curiously changed the subject.
"Mr. Yunxie doesn't look very old, but he's getting engaged so soon?"
Ji Yunxie was stunned: "I'm already sixteen."
Other people at this age are already fathers.
"what?"
Cheng Youran was dumbfounded after hearing this, staring at Ji Yunxie's face with wide eyes: "You... sixteen?"
Not like that, she looks only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Du Mingying beside her was also stunned. She had the same idea as Cheng Youran.
Yun Xie looks like a teenager who has not yet undergone the coming-of-age ceremony. People would believe him if he said he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Sixteen?
Is it bluffing?
Ji Yunxie's delicate face was slightly pale, his crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes were slightly dim, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he spoke weakly.
"I have had poor health since I was young. My father died shortly after I was born. My mother married a new husband. I had no money to see a doctor when I was young, so I got sick. So..."
Before Ji Yunxie finished speaking, Du Mingying and Cheng Youran had already imagined a big drama in their minds.
After his biological father died, his biological mother married a stepfather, who was two-faced. He looked kind on the surface, but was actually a vicious snake behind the scenes, and treated the original wife's son harshly.
The poor little boy, whose father is away and whose mother doesn’t love him, has no food to eat and no clothes to wear. He lives a miserable life with no meals to eat under the watchful eyes of his vicious stepfather.
They understand, they understand.
