Stealing Your Heart

The lady raised her eyebrow slightly as if she were displeased with Lin Xinyan’s attitude towards her.

“Based on seniority, you should be addressing me as Aunt.”

For the life of her, Lin Xinyan couldn’t recall if she had seen the woman before. Based on her understanding, the Zong family didn’t have many relatives. I’m not sure if there’s even such a person?

The woman invited herself in and ordered, “Get me a drink.”

“Mrs. Zong.” Aunt Yu pulled Lin Xinyan aside and whispered in her ear. “This may be the female companion of elder Mr. Zong’s cousin who is withdrawn and doesn’t like to socialize.”

Lin Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows slightly and wondered why hadn’t she heard of them before.

Aunt Yu wasn’t sure too and only heard rumors. “Likely due to his health, they seldom keep in contact. During your wedding, they didn’t attend either. However, now that something like that has happened, they sure have arrived unexpectedly early.”

Even Aunt Yu was cognizant of how early they came. Zong Qifeng only had a cousin left from his generation who was also a shareholder of Wanyue Group.

Lin Xinyan signaled that she understood. It was now clear to her that the irritating lady was a relative and hence she had to treat her with respect.

She poured a glass of water and placed it on the table.

Despite showing respect by wearing a black dress, the lady’s hands and ears were decked out in expensive jewelry. The plain-colored dress simply accentuated the sparkle of all the diamonds she had on her. She also put on heavy makeup and it was obvious she put great effort into it. Even while sitting, she crossed her legs and behaved brazenly, showing no respect at all.

Furthermore, she didn’t look that old, Lin Xinyan surmised that she was still below thirty.

“Since you want me to address you as Aunt based on seniority, I will then do so…”

“Go ahead.”
