Read Novel Full Chapter 67 - Brother Jin’s Wife
Translator: Hua Editor: Bamboozled?
Chapter 67: Brother Jin’s Wife1 The word wife here is different from the one in chapter 65. In Ch65, Shen Yijin used the word 老婆[lǎo pó] , a word used by the husband to call his wife. But in this chapter Xiao Yinyin used the word 媳妇儿[xí fù ér] which also means wife in northern dialect or a young married women.
Games and krypton gold were often mentioned by senior brothers and sisters long before Jing Xun transmigrated. Although he hadn’t played much, he once made some small programs for game companies. He always needed to understand the public and the market, so he was no stranger to this field.
He didn’t expect that Shen Yijin, who was already standing at the top of the Dragon City business empire, had never heard of this.
Jing Xun: “…So sir has never played any online games?… hasn’t heard anything related to it?”
Shen Yijin replied: “No.”
“……”
Well, it was normal for people like Mr. Villain who didn’t use Wechat much to not play games. And it was normal if he hadn’t heard such a popular internet terminology…
“Xiao Xun wants to do it?”
Shen Yijin asked again suddenly.
Jing Xun: …? !
“Do, do what?”
He shockingly questioned. Looking at himself and Shen Yijin wrapped in neat suits, although it didn’t feel quite right, he still couldn’t help but wonder whether on the morning of the engagement day, sir finally had the feeling to…
Shen Yijin said as a matter of course: “Making online games.”
Jing Xun: “……”
Jing Xun didn’t react for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. Sir was asking him if he wanted to develop a game…
“I didn’t like this field very much before.” Shen Yijin thought while explaining: “If Xiao Xun likes it, you can set up another game company.”
“…Don’t, don’t!”
Jing Xun quickly said, “I just said it casually.”
Shen Yijin looked down at him, a trace of doubt flashed in his dark eyes: “Why is your face so red?”
Jing Xun: “……”
So yeah, why the hell was he blushing?
He was so impure.
Being impure was one thing, yet he often blushed and exposed his impurity.
This was…
Fortunately, sir was too pure.
He didn’t notice anything.
Wu, then they can be regarded as what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid2Two people who are a good match for each other..
A-a match made in heaven?
Jing Xun touched his own hot face, and the young man in the mirror followed suit. The slender white fingertips lightly pressed on the flushed cheeks, like peach blossoms dotted with a jade brush, but also like the splendid and sunset clouds on the rosy horizon.
He himself was quite good-looking.
No wonder sir loved to touch his face…
“Ah, should we hurry up? We are going to be late…” The narcissistic Jing Xun suddenly lowered his head to pick up the shoes Shen Yijin had prepared for him, and carried them directly to the entrance to change shoes.
Jing Xun anxiously ran out of the dressing room at the speed of light. He did not see that after he ran away, Shen Yijin began to organize his clothes slowly and carefully. His slender fingers skillfully tied up his tie. The mirror reflected a tall and handsome man in the mirror, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a smile.
.
The banquet only started in the evening.
Jing Xun still went to the company with Shen Yijin in the morning and worked as usual to handle affairs.
In the afternoon, a group of professionals carrying professional cameras and props suddenly came to Mr. Shen’s office, and only after asking did Jing Xun know that these people were here to take pictures of him and sir.
Jing Xun was still puzzled: “Taking pictures?”
“En.” Shen Yijin: “Now you need to bring your own photos to get the certificate.”
Jing Xun: “……”
Ah, that being said… wasn’t this too hasty and formal?
This group of people, apart from photographer, makeup artist, and stylist, there were five or six people responsible for carrying equipment alone.
Looking at the staff who had already begun to set up the curtain, Jing Xun did not ask, but obediently cooperated with the makeup artist and applied a layer of makeup on his face.
The makeup was really not much. After all, in the words of the makeup artist, his and Shen Yijin’s faces were of contour proportions and facial features were super-perfect.
The team invited by Shen Yijin was a professional team trained within Shen’s entertainment company. The makeup artist’s skill itself was already first-class. He had also seen countless celebrities in the entertainment circle, and the style prepared for them by the makeup artist.
Sometimes whether a celebrity could attract fans or a good audience, makeup artists and stylists were the key to determine their fate.
But today’s makeup artists and stylist teachers didn’t know how to make the two of them more handsome and photogenic, so in the end they simply trimmed the eyebrows, and then applied some foundation and loose powder to increase the brightness.
The shooting process was also very smooth.
The photographer took a series of photos in a row, and each one was very good. Even sir’s smile was very natural. The whole shooting process didn’t even take five minutes.
Although it took less time, Shen Yijin, who had seen the photos, was very satisfied.
He nodded his approval and then asked Secretary Mi to take them outside to print on the color printer.
The company’s color printer was multi-functional, and could print photos. The operation was very convenient and fast.
Because they didn’t even need post retouching, that was to say, they would be able to get their own…marriage certificate photo in ten minutes.
…With the photo available, getting married wouldn’t be far away?
At the thought that he was about to get married to Shen Yijin, Jing Xun’s cheeks indisputably flushed again.
He went to the bathroom outside the office to wash his face.
He also washed the makeup off his face along the way.
After he came out, he troubled the stylist to redo his hair. It was three to seven points, revealing a small side of the smooth forehead, and the remaining fine bangs all covered on one side of the eyebrow, making Jing Xun look more energetic than usual.
A scent of urban elites rushed over his face.
…He had to admit that sir specially invited the team to come and take pictures at this time was really thoughtful.
He was very meticulous!
The hairstyle was conveniently fitted for the banquet as well!
What could be more time-saving than this?
Jing Xun’s eyes were full of admiration and praise for Shen Yijin.
At this time, Shen Yijin was looking at the photo in his hands.
He noticed Jing Xun’s gaze, and a smile appeared on his face: “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing…I just think…” Jing Xun, who was dragged over by Shen Yijin, resisted with a little shyness, and said, “I just think sir is so handsome!…”
“……” Shen Yijin paused.
Then he called his name again in a deep voice: “Jing Xun.”
He sounded a little helpless, but it was interlaced with something more, like a smile.
Later, Shen Yijin also went to wash his face.
He also washed off the makeup on his face and made a new hairstyle. It was almost time for the two of them to leave the company and rush to the Shen family mansion together.
It was not the first time that the Shen family had a big banquet.
In fact, as the leading family in Dragon City over the years, the Shen family has held an unknown number of banquets in this mansion.
This time was the birthday of old man Shen. It was a big banquet for the Shen family. Without exception, all the families who had some past interactions and were qualified enough to receive invitations were represented by the head of the family and bring the younger generation to congratulate Grandpa Shen.
Jing Xun and Shen Yijin arrived a little early, there weren’t many people there.
But before long, guests arrived one after another. By the time the banquet was a couple of hours away from starting, more than a hundred people had gathered in the courtyard and the mansion.
Old man Shen was too old to come downstairs and entertain the guests personally, therefore this matter fell on his chosen heir, Shen Yijin.
Although Shen Yijin rarely attended private banquets, this banquet was held by the Shen family to celebrate his grandfather’s birthday, so he would naturally follow old man Shen’s arrangements and take care of it.
Despite his aloof, indifferent, and unapproachable appearance, facing relatives and guests who came to congratulate him, the etiquette and courtesy that should be there was there.
And to be welcomed by Shen Yijin, those who came to celebrate the birthday also appeared flattered to varying degrees.
After handing the invitation card to the emcee at the entrance, and entering the courtyard, everyone first greeted Shen Yijin, who was right in the center.
Just like this, Shen Yijin was constantly surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside3Surrounded by many people..
Before officially announcing their relationship, Jing Xun didn’t go down to join in the excitement.
He still had more important things to do, which was to play chess with Grandpa Shen.
“Haha. I finally beat Xiao Xun in this round.” Grandpa Shen showed a smile on his face.
Jing Xun, who was sitting opposite, carefully re-examined the chess game, and then couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Grandpa, how did you know that I would play here? Grandpa is so experienced!”
“Experience is experience. I’m an old man, I’ve seen many people after all.” Grandpa Shen took a sip of tea with satisfaction, “Xiao Xun is smart. When you meet more people in the future, no one can beat you.”
That’s true.
Jing Xun also knew his own flaws, indeed he could only see through chess, not people.
He had met too few people before.
During this period of time with Shen Yijin, although he was rarely involved with anything other than research, he had seen sir negotiate with people and talk with his subordinates.
Sir was smart and could read people.
Ashamed of his own inferiority, Jing Xun subconsciously scratched his hair.
Then he remembered that he had hairspray on so he couldn’t touch it.
Grandpa Shen laughed again when he saw this, and said, “Xiao Xun also has an advantage. Ah Jin knows too much and thinks too much. Alas, it’s because he grew up…”
While talking, the old man sighed again.
Jing Xun could not help but look over with wide eyes, and saw that Grandpa Shen’s expression had turned gloomy. Even if he really wanted to know what happened sir when he was a child, it was not appropriate to mention this kind of sadness on grandpa Shen’s birthday.
Jing Xun quickly steered away from the topic.
Although he was an orphan since he was a child, he was not clear about the difference between the orphanage and welfare homes at that time. There were many lonely and unattended elderly people living with him. Jing Xun had quite a way of making them happy.
He accompanied grandpa Shen to play another round, and by passing, he talked about all kinds of domineering incidents during sir’s work in these past few days, making grandpa bursted with joy.
It wasn’t until someone knocked on the door to report about the company that grandfather and grandchild stopped talking.
The person who came to report was the head of the marketing department of the Shen Group and the son of Grandpa Shen’s own brother. Shen Yijin called him cousin on the basis of his seniority.
And behind this cousin there was a little girl, the one who was holding Shen Yijin’s knee and asked questions. Jing Xun knew that she happened to be the youngest daughter of this middle-aged cousin. Her name was Shen Manshu. She was five years old this year and her nickname was Yinyin.
The little girl was born with pink makeup and jade mansory4A Chinese idiom describes women with white and tender skin.. Today, she put on a fluffy princess dress, her pigtail braids were put down. He bang was trimmed and combed. Her face looked round and tender, and she was speaking with a child-like voice.
She followed him into the room and greeted Grandpa Shen with a clear and crisp voice: “Hello, Grandpa, Happy Birthday, Grandpa.”
Hearing this, grandpa Shen immediately called the little girl to come over happily. He took a pistachio from the nut plate on the table and gave it to the little girl to eat.
He wasn’t so fond of children during his early years, and his manner was relatively rigid. Now that he was getting older, his character had softened, and there were not so many rules.
Grandpa Shen kindly asked the little girl: “When did Yinyin come? Are you hungry?”
The little girl ate the pistachio first, and then shook her head to indicate that she was not hungry.
When she shook her head, she saw Jing Xun who was opposite Grandpa Shen. She ran to Jing Xun and looked at him curiously with her round eyes. Obviously she still remembered him and called him: “Brother Jin’s wife.”
“What did Yinyin just say?” The cousin called her daughter, and said to grandpa Shen in embarrassment: “This kid, Daddy has told you that Daddy wants to talk to Grandpa about business and wants you to go play by yourself, but you insist on coming and wish Grandpa his birthday first.”
After that he said to Jing Xun: “Children always speak freely, please don’t get offended. Yinyin, quickly call your brother and say hello to him.”
“Huh?” The little girl tilted her head, obviously she didn’t understand why she should call Brother Jin’s wife brother. But she was a polite child, so she still greeted him.
She said in a milky voice, “Hello, brother.”
The round face under the bang couldn’t be any more cute, especially the long eyelashes and bright round eyes.
Jingxun also liked her very much, naturally he wouldn’t mind anything. He smiled and said, “Hello, Yinyin.”
“Haha.” Old man Shen laughed and said, “It’s almost time. Xiao Xun takes Yinyin downstairs to find Ah Jin first.”
Jing Xun knew that they still had something to talk about, so he didn’t dare to bother. He stood up and stretched out his hand to the little girl: “Yinyin, let’s go downstairs with brother to find brother Jin to play, okay?”
“Okay.”
She was probably the only person in the Shen family who was not afraid of Shen Yijin. Yinyin’s personality was cheerful and lively, so she was naturally happier when hearing about playing.
She ran straight over. The child who was only knee-high stretched out her hands to Jing Xun, wanting to be picked up.
Her dad simply didn’t look over, but Jing Xun couldn’t refuse such kindness, so he tried to bend over and pick up the child.
He had no experience holding a child. In the past, there were many children in the orphanage, but his health was too poor. He himself couldn’t stop panting when he walked, how could he hold another child?
So Jing Xun was still very nervous when he hugged a child for the first time.
Fortunately, Yinyin herself knew how to be well-behaved when being held. As soon as she was picked up, she automatically grabbed Jing Xun’s neck and smiled at him. Finally, she couldn’t help saying, “Brother Jin’s wife is so beautiful!”
The child said this in an innocent tone, and immediately made grandpa Shen laugh again.
And being called Shen Yijin’s wife by a child…Jing Xun didn’t feel embarrassed.
But it felt strange.
If sir was the one who said it, Jing Xun would blush with shame.
But if it was someone else… It’s okay.
And if it was a child who said it, Jing Xun would only think she was a cute little darling.
Saying goodbye to Grandpa Shen, Jing Xun took the little girl out of the study and walked downstairs.
There were so many people today, so the little girl was not allowed to move around alone. There were two nannies waiting outside.
Seeing that Yinyin was held by Jing Xun, the two nannies both showed a hint of surprise to varying degrees.
One nanny said: “Mr. Yan, please give me the little miss. She must be heavy.”
“No.” The little girl squeezed Jing Xun tightly, buried her head on the crook of his neck and refused to come down, grieving: “Yinyin is not heavy.”
Being pressed by the round cheek of the little girl, Jing Xun’s heart was about to soften into water, no way it felt heavy.
He smiled and said, “I’ll do it, it’s okay.”
With that, he hugged Yinyin and headed downstairs.
The two nannies naturally followed and went downstairs together.
The floor where grandpa Shen’s study was located was the top floor, and guests could come up, so it was still quiet.
But when he got downstairs, the graceful classical music sounded in the living room, and the guests already gathered underneath.
Even the courtyard outside was filled with people who were dressed formally and decently talking to each other. Although the banquet had not officially started yet, there were already waiters who constantly shuttled among the crowd, serving different types of drinks and beverages.
As the crowd mingled, it was almost dark outside, the courtyard and the interior of the mansion had long been lit up.
Jing Xun came down by elevator, and as soon as the elevator door opened, it immediately attracted the eyes of people nearby.
A young man with striking eyebrows, a tall and slender body wrapped in formal attire, was carrying a cute little girl in his arms.
This combination couldn’t be more eye-catching.
The person holding a wine glass near the elevator naturally looked at Jing Xun a few more times.
The youth was beautiful and well dressed, making it unforgettable.
What’s more… he came downstairs.
That meant that this young man had at least been upstairs, and his identity was not ordinary.
But he shouldn’t be someone from the Shen family.
The Shen family was a big business tycoon. Many relatives in the family lived in this house. After a long time, they should know each other.
This young man… It was the first time they had seen him.
“…Perhaps a returnee who just came back? He has a good relationship with the Shen family. We also didn’t recognize the eldest young master of the Shen family when he first came back.” Someone whispered.
Everyone else had their own guesses, but they didn’t dare to talk loudly. They were afraid that they would accidentally offend someone at such a banquet full of important people.
But Jing Xun couldn’t even notice other people’s discussion.
He was so focused on the soft and chubby Xiao Yinyin in his arms that he couldn’t pay much attention to other people’s eyes.
Xiao Yinyin, who came down from the elevator, had completely changed into the posture of lying on his shoulder with two small lotus root arms holding him. Half of her big chubby cheek was almost deformed. Yinyin leisurely shook her calf, sticking and talking to Jing Xun.
The topic of children was always naive. Jing Xun listened to her incoherently telling him the latest fairy tales she heard, while feeling that this little girl was too cute and didn’t want to let go.
On the other hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold her well and fall down…..
Although he was in good health now, he was usually obsessed with data and was still a little negligent in exercise.
He was not as powerful as sir, so he felt more nervous.
……
That’s right, sir.
Holding the little girl up, Jing Xun subconsciously looked around. While holding Yinyin as he walked out, he occasionally looked for Shen Yijin’s figure.
The youth craned his neck and raised his eyes to look around, and his handsome features were more exposed to the crowd’s eyes.
Someone uttered a short exclamation, and then sighed: “Whose family young master is this? When he lowered my head, I felt like an angel had descended down to earth. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, it was even more…this look is simply flawless!”
“I also want to know whose young master this is…” In the crowd, there was no telling who made the coveted voice.
“Huh? I know the little girl he is holding. She is also the third generation of the Shen family… called Yinyin, right? I met her some time ago when I came here to pay a visit…”
Wherever Jing Xun passed by, out of courtesy, everyone automatically gave way to him.
But at the same time, their combination also attracted more people’s attention and discussion.
Until Jing Xun came to the door of the villa.
Shen Yijin, who had been receiving guests in the courtyard, also happened to return to the door at this moment.
“Xiao Xun.”
The door opened, and their eyes met. Shen Yijin called him first.
Obviously, he didn’t expect Jing Xun to hold the little one in his arms. Shen Yijin was taken aback for a while, and then he strode over with a softened gaze.
Jing Xun answered, and Shen Yijin’s distinctive voice rang out, which naturally attracted the attention of Yinyin who was lying on his shoulders.
The little girl looked back and when she saw that it was her brother Jin, she shouted cheerfully in a crisp, sharp voice: “Brother Jin, I’ve brought your wife here!”
The author has something to say:
Xiao Yinyin: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful brother who came to brother Jin’s dance party in a lovely pumpkin carriage.
