Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 765 - 763: The Future Advertising Star (Second Update)
Da Bao also agreed with his mother’s words. From his understanding of Si Jun, he knew that the other person was naturally a very aloof person, accepting help was already a last resort, so he would never actively ask for more.
"Mommy, leave Si Jun’s matter to me."
Da Bao thought he should find some time to privately talk with Si Jun about it, but only after Old Master celebrated his birthday and returned.
At noon on Friday, Le Tong and her family of five, along with Mr. Ji, flew to Beijing to celebrate with Old Master Yang.
It’s been fifteen years since Le Tong acknowledged her roots. The Yang Family Mansion still looked exactly the same as it did fifteen years ago.
The people living inside included Old Master Yang, Yang Sheng and his wife, and their pair of children.
The daughter of Yang Sheng and Chu Ran was two years younger than Da Bao, and their son was two years younger than Little Treasure.
"Cousin, long time no see!" Yang Sheng’s daughter, Yang Liu, greeted Da Bao with a big hug as soon as she saw him.
"Yes, three years ago you were just a little girl, and now you’ve grown into a graceful young lady."
Nineteen-year-old Yang Liu also chose to study abroad a year ago, and she had just returned within the last couple of days.
"It’s Nuonuo who’s truly graceful. As for me, forget it!"
Yang Liu, with her height around 1.6 meters, appeared particularly petite and delicate among the tall men of the Yang and Ji families.
"Cousin, it’s your height that is most popular with the boys, you know?"
Nuonuo herself was tall, and often felt like an outlier when standing with a group of female classmates.
Yang Liu had already let go of Da Bao, turning her embrace to Nuonuo’s shoulders, teasing her by whispering in her ear, "You already have Cousin, what more popularity do you want? Aren’t you afraid Cousin will get jealous?"
It was obvious that Yang Liu was already aware of Da Bao and Nuonuo’s situation.
Nuonuo’s face turned crimson; she never expected that after she and Brother Da Bao had exchanged feelings only a few days ago, even her cousin far across the ocean had received the news.
It must have been Mommy’s doing!
"Did my mommy tell you?"
Yang Liu chuckled and shook her head, "Of course not, it was Old Master who told me..."
This time, even Nuonuo’s neck turned red. She quickly scanned the surroundings and found that everyone’s attention was on the white-haired Old Master, and no one noticed the two little girls, which made her embarrassment subside a bit.
"Tsk, tsk, you must be overjoyed to have landed such a high-quality cousin!"
The way Yang Liu spoke bore some resemblance to her father, Yang Sheng.
"Cousin, if you keep teasing me, I won’t talk to you anymore!"
Nuonuo used her trump card. Ever since childhood, whenever she said this, Yang Liu would immediately stop.
"Don’t do that, I still want to get my hands on a limited edition dress from you!"
Indeed, practical as ever, Yang Liu had always had her eyes on the clothing brand Nuonuo endorsed, especially since Nuonuo could always get styles that were unavailable on the market. So, just by saying she wouldn’t talk to her, Miss Yang would immediately pipe down.
"Actually, I think Aunt did well."
Yang Liu changed to a more serious expression, while pulling Nuonuo outside to the terrace to chat privately.
Due to their parents’ close relationship, Da Bao, Nuonuo, Little Treasure, and Yang Liu’s sibling bond was exceptionally strong. Although they didn’t meet often, the kids kept in close contact online and considered each other as siblings and confidants.
As the only two girls, they often shared personal conversations, including matters of the heart.
Yang Liu, being four years older than Nuonuo, didn’t have a particularly rich romantic life, but she was still somewhat experienced. Nuonuo would confide in Yang Liu about things she felt too shy to discuss with her brothers.
As a result, during the three years that Da Bao studied abroad, Yang Liu heard plenty of Nuonuo’s complaints and thoughts.
Of course, neither sister anticipated that their simple sibling relationship could evolve into the current state.
"Why?"
Nuonuo knew that when her cousin mentioned doing well, she was referring to Aunt telling Old Master about her being adopted and her relationship with Brother changing.
But ultimately, her mind was too simple to understand what was good about it?
"Aunt was afraid that you and Cousin might have concerns, so she shared the truth with Old Master about you two. After hearing it, Old Master was silent for a long time; my dad was worried he might object. But to everyone’s surprise, Old Master himself came to terms with it in half an hour and told my dad that it was your and Cousin’s fate, otherwise, Cousin wouldn’t have found you on that island more than a decade ago."
Yang Liu felt that the elders in her family were all extraordinary people. Their acceptance of matters far surpassed ordinary people’s tolerance.
As Nuonuo listened to Yang Liu’s analysis, she finally understood the complex web of relationships and implications.
Actually, it wasn’t surprising she didn’t think so deeply. Ever since she expressed her feelings to Da Bao, his hint to her was not to worry about the family’s reaction.
So subconsciously, she believed that as long as Brother was there, she didn’t need to worry about the elders’ reactions.
One could also say that from the moment she blurted out "I like you" to Da Bao, she hadn’t considered whether the elders would accept it.
After hearing her cousin’s words, Nuonuo belatedly felt a layer of cold sweat on her palms.
Turns out, besides confirming their feelings, there were so many obstacles to overcome.
Fortunately, these obstacles had long been cleared by Brother Da Bao and her dear mommy.
"Cousin, hearing you say all this, I realize just how naïve I was!"
Thinking of how she had taken for granted the love and care from her brother and family during this time, Nuonuo couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
Yang Liu patted her on the shoulder, "Silly Nuonuo, you just stay innocent like this, and leave the shrewdness to Cousin Da Bao."
Nuonuo frowned, "Cousin, my brother is not shrewd...", after so many years, she still couldn’t bear to hear anyone speak ill of Da Bao.
Yang Liu helplessly apologized and corrected herself, "Alright, alright, I’m sorry, your Brother Da Bao is not shrewd, he’s just extremely clever, okay?"
Nuonuo’s frown finally relaxed, "Mm."
"By the way, I heard you’re now the spokesperson for the youth series. Will you become a star in advertisements?"
No doubt, Yang Liu’s information was really well-informed.
Nuonuo smiled a little awkwardly, "Cousin, don’t tease me, I’m just a product spokesperson, far from being a star!"
Yang Liu was completely convinced by Nuonuo’s innocence and naivety, or perhaps it wasn’t that she was naïve, but rather that her aunt’s family had protected her so well.
"Nuonuo, don’t you know you’re quite famous abroad?"
