The other young misses all knew each other, so when two unfamiliar faces showed up in their midst, it was unavoidable for some curious faces to continuously turn their way.

Xie Zhen and Xie Xun were used to such looks since young. As they were magnanimous and big-hearted, they did not take offence and instead played amongst themselves, completely unaffected by the actions of the other misses. Most of the young misses felt that the two were too beautiful and didn't dare to approach them. Only Ye Zhiying, having received her mother's instructions, went forward and bashfully greeted them.

Contrary to her expectations, Xie Zhen was very easy-going. "I'm called Ah Zhen, this is my younger sister Ah Xun, how about you?"

Moved beyond words, Ye Zhiying immediately replied with her name.

After introducing themselves, the three young misses started to play together. Upon witnessing this scene, others couldn't help but be envious, and one by one they gradually approached and introduced themselves. After all, everyone was attracted to beautiful things, what more four and five-year old children.

Before long, Xie Zhen and Xie Xun were surrounded by a crowd of people. Even the two younger sisters who had been with Gao Tongtong before joined in. Gao Tongtong, anxiously stomping her foot, looked angrily at Xie Zhen who was situated at the centre of the throng of people.

However, at that moment, Xie Zhen turned and looked at her, with a smile in her eyes, innocent and unaffected, as though she had no idea what Gao Tongtong was angry about.

Gao Tongtong turned back and returned back to Madame Gao, deciding that she wouldn't play with these rascals in the future.

Soon, it was time to start the banquet and Xie Zhen and Xie Xun both returned back to Leng shi's side. Xie Xun, ecstatic, and waving her hands about, exclaimed, "Ah niang ah niang, I got to know so many people".

Leng shi, rubbing her head, smilingly asked, "Who did you meet?"

Xie Xun looked down and poked her fingers together, " Erm...erm." After struggling for a while, her dumpling face turned red, and she said, "I forgot..."

Beside her, Xie Zhen snorted in laughter–her younger sister was just too cute. She couldn't help but wish to knead her dumpling face, " What do you even remember? You only know how to eat."

Dissatisfied, Xie Xun then retorted, "Can big sis even recall everyone?

Of course she could. Xie Zhen's memory had always been excellent. On the spot, she recited all the names of the various young misses , including their fathers' office position and standing. Hearing Xie Zhen's nonchalant tone as she recited, the dissatisfaction in her eyes changed into adoration. Xie Xun stared at her with bright eyes, just short of throwing herself forward and saying, "Big sis is the best!"

Leng shi held them each and kissed and patted them lovingly, as though she hadn't pampered them enough.

However, this scene had been witnessed by Gao Tongtong, who stood up and asked, "Since Ah Zhen's memory is so good, why not I give you a test?"

However, Xie Zhen was currently busy cuddling up in Leng shi's embrace, and had thought that Gao Tongong was speaking to someone else, so she paid no heed to her.

Gao Tongtong's expression darkened, and she asked once more.

Xun shi hadn't made any move to stop her. From her attitude, it was obvious she was proud of her daughter.

Gao Tongtong was known in Qing Zhou as a talented young lady. Despite being merely seven to eight years old, she could already read, write and draw. She had even drew praises from her teacher, so there was no doubt that she was definitely a smart child.
