Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 757 - 486: Really alike_3

Feng Yi smiled and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Others also came over to greet him.

Beyond the laughter and jokes, there seemed to be deeper meanings in the glances cast at Gao Sheng.

Are you really oblivious to the occasion, kid?

Or are you playing mind games on purpose to draw attention?

Whether it’s genuine or an act, others might just be suspicious, but emotional information could tell Feng Yi everything.

Some things are better left unsaid, and just playing along is enough.

It wasn’t until they had entered the garden and seated themselves that Dai Fangxun personally came over to say that the old lady knew Feng Yi had arrived and wanted to meet him.

As the birthday star of the day, the old lady didn’t have time to meet with many guests individually, and Dai Fangxun was also surprised that she was willing to take the time to see Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was also surprised and followed Dai Fangxun to the courtyard where the old lady was resting. The formal banquet hadn’t started yet, and the old lady was taking a break there.

Dai Fangxun’s grandmother, at eighty years old, was healthy and content, emanating a sense of benevolence. It wasn’t just for show; her inner emotional information reflected the same serenity.

Certainly not like Old Man Feng, who was moody and threw tantrums every other day.

Feng Yi finally met the elderly lady and after exchanging a few auspicious words, she called him over to sit beside her.

The old lady looked him over several times through her reading glasses.

"So much alike!"

The old lady smiled amiably.

Feng Yi looked puzzled.

The old lady said, "Like your great-aunt!"

It wasn’t to say their features bore that high a degree of similarity.

While their face shapes were somewhat like each other, there were clear differences in their features, each with their own distinct characteristics.

Yet, the overall impression they gave off was strangely similar.

"I still have a photo taken with your great-aunt from the past, but unfortunately, I didn’t bring it today. It’s at the old house in the city."

The old lady knew Feng Yi’s great-aunt, and although they didn’t interact often and weren’t close, they shared a friendly acquaintance.

Today, upon hearing from her grandson that Feng Yi had arrived, she had specifically made time to meet with the descendant of an old friend.

"You’re a fine-looking young man, even more handsome in person than on the internet!"

The old lady said cheerfully, encouraging Feng Yi not to be too reserved. There were many fun places in the villa; he could go wherever he wanted to play—riding horses, fishing, picking fruit, listening to comic dialogues. If he didn’t know the way, he could simply ask any of the ushers along the way.

The old lady also added Feng Yi’s contact information.

"I’ll look through the old photos when I go back to the old house next time, and then I’ll send them to you."

Remembering something, the old lady then asked:

"I heard from Xiaoxun that you attended the Mingyao auction and bought a black diamond?"

Feng Yi nodded, "Black diamonds are quite interesting."

The old lady said, "You share a similar taste with your great-aunt in this regard, both more interested in black diamonds."

Arranging her shawl, the old lady reminisced about the past:

"Back in the day, we went to a jewelry exhibition together. I, along with everyone else, liked the jade and the dazzling, fiery diamonds. She alone was interested in the black diamond, which looked dull in color and almost like an ordinary stone on display. She even spent a lot of money to buy it. Unfortunately, when I later tried to contact her, I heard that the black diamond had been lost."

Feng Yi: "..."

Lost?

With his great-aunt’s capabilities, how could such an item be easily misplaced?

It’s very likely that, just like me, she also "set off fireworks" with that black diamond she spent a fortune on.

But now, should I change the excuse that grandma used to use?

What should I say when others ask me in the future?

Just then, another visitor arrived. Feng Yi was about to take his leave, but the old lady asked him to wait a moment.

Shortly after, someone entered, carrying a small box in their hand.

The old lady did not take it, instead she had the person hand the box directly to Feng Yi.

"Open it and see if you like it."

Feng Yi hesitated before opening the palm-sized box.

Inside was a black diamond piece of jewelry, something like a brooch, shaped like a snake. It was suitable for both men and women.

"Just a little trinket, have fun with it," the old lady said.

Since Feng Yi and his old friend shared similar tastes, it was appropriate for her to give this meeting gift to the "child" at the old friend’s home.

The snake on the jewelry was made of small diamond clusters, the body mainly composed of black diamonds, with emerald and colorless diamonds embellishing the eyes and other parts of the body.

Though small in size, each tiny diamond in the piece was of fairly good quality, with a uniform color, not the poor quality, common fragments seen in the market.

It appeared to be designed by a master, with meticulous craftsmanship and intricate details.

"I got it by chance and I’m giving it to you."

The old lady seemed very happy, her true emotions stronger than the gentle smile she showed on the surface.

Because of Dai Fangxun’s words, Feng Yi came empty-handed, but unexpectedly received a gift. He felt a bit embarrassed.

Besides, Feng Yi also felt that during this process, the old lady’s emotional response was a bit... well, it was hard to describe.

After presenting the gift, Old Lady Feng didn’t linger any longer. Feng Yi thanked her and said a few good wishes.

Upon leaving the old lady’s residence, Feng Yi asked Dai Fangxun to get busy with work, while he himself took a walk around the estate.

Finding a quiet spot, Feng Yi messaged the butler to ask about the old lady’s background.

The butler replied promptly: "Oh, her. Your aunt saved her life. Her enemy once hired someone to place a deadly snake in her bag, but your aunt happened upon her and lent a helping hand, that’s how they got to know each other."

Feng Yi: "The old lady is now quite gentle and kind, hard to imagine her life had such ups and downs."

Butler: "Of course she’s gentle now, she had wiped out all her enemies more than a decade ago, and now all that’s left are peaceful days."

Feng Yi: "..."

Feng Yi then mentioned the gift the old lady gave him.

Butler: "What sort of gift?"

Feng Yi: "[Image] [Image]"

Butler: "Keep it. Even if she hadn’t given it to you, she would’ve hurried to give it to someone else soon enough. She’s extremely afraid of snakes. No matter how valuable, she wouldn’t like anything made in the shape of a snake. But meeting you today and giving it away must have pleased her greatly, and she probably feels she gave it to the right person."

Feng Yi: "Mhm."

The old lady was indeed very happy when she handed over the box.

Butler: "Looking at it closely, the design isn’t grand enough. Bring it back and I’ll have someone tweak a few details before you wear it for fun."

Before Feng Yi could reply, the butler sent another message quickly.

Butler: "Another thing, the business jet you ordered will be ready for use soon. However, regarding the interior, I’ve discussed with the design company and have some new ideas. We could incorporate some concept designs to enhance the atmosphere."

Feng Yi: ...

NO!!!
