Chapter 651 Increasingly Similar!
The Yuan brothers wore a large number of blood jade items on their bodies.
Neck, wrists, fingers… they wore various ornaments made of blood jade.
Two thousand years ago, if the Yuan brothers had dared to walk on the streets wearing so much blood jade, they would have been beaten to death by passing cultivators before the Righteous Alliance could even intervene.
Of course, that was according to the Righteous Alliance’s regulations back then.
In today’s world, there are probably few people who even know about blood jade, let alone consider it an evil object.
As for whether these blood jade items were made by the Yuan family themselves or purchased from others, it didn’t matter.
Regarding the appearance of blood jade, Fang Yu was just a bit surprised, without any other thoughts.
“Doctor Fang, if you’d like to meet the Yuan brothers, please follow me,” Tang Mingde said.
After Chairman Dong’s incident, the position of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce chairman fell to Tang Mingde.
Since the Yuan brothers were distinguished guests, Tang Mingde, as the chamber’s chairman, had to go greet them.
“No need, you go ahead,” Fang Yu said.
“Alright, I’ll go then.” Tang Mingde nodded and walked toward the Yuan brothers’ location.
By now, the Yuan brothers were already surrounded by admirers like stars.
Fang Yu remained where he was. After a while, Ji Dongshan came over and greeted him.
“Ruimei is still getting ready and will come out to see you shortly,” Ji Dongshan said with a smile.
“I just wanted to ask… don’t you provide food here?” Fang Yu asked.
After sleeping for two and a half days, Fang Yu was hungry again.
“…Of course we do! The buffet tables are inside the hall… if nothing suits your taste, you can ask the servers to prepare something. The kitchen will quickly make whatever dishes you desire, Mr. Fang,” Ji Dongshan said.
“Oh, it’s inside. Fine, go about your business, don’t worry about me.” After speaking, Fang Yu walked into the main hall.
At this moment, Xia Tinghe and Xia Weiyu, who were behind him, took advantage of everyone greeting the Yuan brothers to distance themselves from the crowd and follow Fang Yu into the hall.
Entering the hall, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up.
Before him were eight oval dining tables filled with all kinds of food.
The other guests were still in the courtyard outside.
Currently, only Fang Yu and the Xia sisters who had followed him were in the hall.
Without hesitation, Fang Yu grabbed a plate, piled it with food, sat at a table, and began eating voraciously.
Xia Tinghe, who had entered behind him, spotted Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes brightening as she approached him.
“Why do we keep running into this plague!”
Xia Weiyu rolled her eyes dramatically but still followed along.
No matter what, she couldn’t let her sister be alone with Fang Yu!
Xia Tinghe sat down beside Fang Yu.
Fang Yu continued eating vigorously without looking up.
Xia Tinghe didn’t speak either, secretly observing Fang Yu beside her.
Xia Weiyu stood behind Xia Tinghe, gently tapping her shoulder, and said, “Tinghe, don’t forget why we’re here… Grandfather told us we must greet those two from the Yuan family.”
“I know, but they’re surrounded by so many people right now, we can’t talk to them anyway,” Xia Tinghe turned her head and replied.
“Those people are just saying hello, we’ll be able to talk to them soon. I glanced at them earlier, and both Yuan brothers are quite handsome,” Xia Weiyu glanced at Fang Yu and said, “Men from prominent families have a different aura about them.”
Xia Tinghe knew her sister’s words were aimed at Fang Yu.
Xia Tinghe bit her red lips, knowing that if she stayed any longer, her sister might say something even more inappropriate.
“Fang Yu, I’m leaving now, see you later.”
So, Xia Tinghe said goodbye to Fang Yu, stood up, and walked away.
Xia Weiyu hummed triumphantly and followed behind Xia Tinghe back to the courtyard.
After they left, Fang Yu was glad for the peace and ate with even more gusto.
About five or six minutes later, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the courtyard outside.
Fang Yu knew that Ji Ruimei must have appeared.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to go out and greet her, as those people in the courtyard would surely be crowding around her now.
Fang Yu leisurely finished a steak.
After that, he drank a glass of water.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, he finally headed toward the courtyard outside.
As he reached the doorway, he saw Ji Ruimei in a white evening gown, standing like a radiant pearl in the middle of the courtyard.
Fang Yu only saw her back, yet he couldn’t help but overlap her image with the figure in his memory.
Leng Xunshuang, Ji Ruimei…
The more he encountered them, the more similar they seemed.
When he first met Ji Ruimei, Fang Yu thought they were only seventy or eighty percent similar, and he had to look for similarities between Ji Ruimei and Leng Xunshuang.
But now, Fang Yu needed to find differences between Ji Ruimei and Leng Xunshuang to distinguish them.
Their physique, appearance, and even their mannerisms when speaking, every smile and frown… had become increasingly similar.
At this moment, Fang Yu recalled the unfinished sentence Lin Batian had said before leaving.
He had told Fang Yu to continue observing Ji Ruimei.
“Why is this happening?”
Fang Yu stared at Ji Ruimei’s back, momentarily dazed.
How could two completely unrelated women look more and more alike?
Was this actually happening in reality, or was there something wrong with Fang Yu’s perception?
Thinking about this, Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
In any situation, mistaking one person for another was not a good sign.
While Fang Yu was lost in thought, Ji Ruimei seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, looking directly at him.
Seeing Fang Yu, Ji Ruimei’s exquisitely beautiful face, with its light makeup, revealed a gentle smile.
Then, ignoring the Yuan brothers behind her, she walked straight toward Fang Yu.
The guests in the courtyard, already captivated by the fairy-like Ji Ruimei, couldn’t take their eyes off her.
Seeing her walk directly toward a man, the guests were surprised and shifted their gaze to Fang Yu.
Which prominent family did this young man come from? Why would Ji Ruimei personally approach him?
“Mr. Fang, thank you for coming to my birthday celebration,” Ji Ruimei said respectfully, slightly bending her body.
As she approached, a faint orchid fragrance wafted toward him.
Smelling this scent, Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly.
How could it be… even this fragrance was so similar?
Years ago, Leng Xunshuang, who loved the scent of orchids, had made herself an orchid sachet that she carried every day.
Back then, whenever standing next to Leng Xunshuang, Fang Yu could always smell a faint orchid fragrance.
Just like now… identical.
“Mr. Fang…” Seeing Fang Yu staring at her blankly, Ji Ruimei became a bit shy, lowering her head slightly as her cheeks flushed red.
