Chapter 1517: Chapter 1517: Gloomy and Unhappy
That day, a couple brought their daughter, a beautiful young lady, to visit Uncle Ji. It’s said that this couple is quite powerful, holding some major positions at the Ministry of Defense, and they’re influential enough that the national orders for the Ji Corporation are all handled through them.
So Ji Mo and his wife took it very seriously and warmly hosted them, preparing a sumptuous lunch reception.
It seemed that Uncle Ji had quite a good relationship with Mr. White, as everyone at the lunch table appeared quite relaxed, conversing happily as if they were old friends.
The White couple are from a prestigious family, graduates of a top-tier global university, and hold considerable political influence. Their conversation was remarkable, witty and humorous, and their manners were very elegant, making everyone feel like a breath of fresh spring air, bringing a lot of comfort and laughter to the table.
Seated at the table today, Jun Yiyi, who is usually lively and energetic like a happy little charm, seemed unusually quiet, focusing on eating.
She quite liked this couple too. Mrs. White was very kind and gentle, even bringing hand-made little cakes for her, which were delicious. Mr. White praised her as a beautiful and lovely little lady.
They were good people, but she wasn’t very happy.
Especially when she came back from playing in the garden earlier, she overheard some maids whispering in the hallway, their eyes shining with admiration, praising the White family for their elegance and knowledge, truly without comparison, incredibly well-mannered, and having such a beautiful and accomplished daughter.
Their voices were full of envy, saying that Miss White was just 14 but already a famous young genius, not only admitted to the world’s most renowned university but also participated in many professional television program competitions.
Even more astonishing was that last year, she went to Africa with her brother as a volunteer, and was awarded an outstanding youth honor by the UN, personally received by the North American president, who lauded her as the new generation’s role model.
Such impressive experiences, profound knowledge, and outstanding beauty, truly lovable.
The maids were secretly giggling, saying that she and the young master looked really well-matched standing together. The young master was also an exceptional genius, both being outstanding individuals, perfectly matched no matter their family background or personal accomplishments.
It’s known that there are many heiresses from good families nowadays, but few truly match the young master. Many are either spoiled and pretentious or lazy and playful, not wanting to improve, typical rich kids. Someone as excellent as the young master absolutely needs to marry someone equally impressive and high-standard.
As Jun Yiyi walked by and heard them praising that White sister like this, she felt somewhat gloomy, losing all the joy from playing.
Now, sitting at the dining table, watching everyone chat so happily, she couldn’t insert herself into the conversation at all, which made her even more unhappy.
It’s one thing not to understand the adults’ conversation between Uncle Ji and the others. Even when Brother Ling Kong and the White sister spoke, she couldn’t grasp what they were discussing, usually boring international situations from TV, the financial industry, the stock market... all topics she didn’t understand.
"I heard Charlotte has already received her admission notice from H University this year. She’s an incredible girl, reportedly admitted under exceptional circumstances, the youngest student in the past ten years at H University," Mu Bao’er couldn’t help but show a smile of admiration.
Miss White smiled happily, without any reservation: "Originally, I planned to apply last year, but I thought I’d spend another year solidifying my foundation first because when I apply, I want to apply for the best finance program."
Her smiling face was particularly bright and radiant, her beautiful eyes turning towards Ling Kong, with a special glint of admiration.
