Chapter 252 - Meeting The Family

CHAPTER 252

In no time a look of shock was registered on each of their faces. And from what Li Jing could see judging from their disposition and reaction, this was definitely...

"Hu Qi!" Everyone exclaimed, even the most sophisticated person did the same.

"Hello my lovelies!" Hu Qi winked at them as her lips parted a bit, revealing a perfect set of white teeth that further enhanced her smile and the dimples that showed at the corners of her lips only made her whole smile heartwarming.

’Wow!’

Li Jing could not help but admire the beauty standing not too far from her.

The lady, although looking elderly which could be seen from the few wrinkles on her forehead and those at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, looked like someone in her late thirties.

Her skin looked very rich and well-polished like she had been pampered and taken care of her whole life and properly treated. She wore a mild makeup but even that could not hide the gloriousness of her looks.

She had a striking resemblance to Lin Zian, Li Jing’s grandfather but her beauty did its very own best to outshine her older brother.

Everything about her, right from her Jet black hair that hid every form of gray hair, to her chiseled face, nicely carved brows, her lovely black eyes, her small pointed nose to her rose pert thin lips, to her nice jaw, down to her neck and firm looking bust and bump...

Everything, nothing told of her age as an elderly.

She wore a cream, slightly above the knee high, sleeveless gown with a round neck cut that stopped just below her color bones, giving more room for her necklace to proudly showcase itself.

Unlike Li Jing’s hers wasn’t particularly fitted. Even though it outlined her body shape, it still did well to give her some freedom.

She wore a nice golden block high heel sandals with a golden purse and a golden pearl necklace to match.

For a minute there, everyone paused and took their time to access the seemingly never aging lady before them.

She always had a way of making an entrance whenever she was around and she never once disappointed when she came.

Her class and her wealth showed from every angle even if she never wanted it to. Just her skin alone told of how wealthy she was to maintain such a luster creamy skin.

"Lin Qi, welcome home, sister." As though on cue all their attention shifted from the angel that just graced the get together with her presence to the host they had all been waiting for.

"Hello, brother," Hu Qi said with a smile.

It was only her brother who would call her by her given single family name and not by her husband family name.

Left to him, she was and would always be his kid sister, married or not.

"I am amazed and honoured that you flew all the way from England to honour my invitation. It means a lot. Thank you."

"No matter what, you still are the patriarch of the Lin family and your word must be honoured brother. Besides, I missed the main event yesterday. How could I afford to miss another opportunity for such a gathering and to meet my new or should I say lost niece?"

Her smile and her words meant all that she meant. Without giving them time to register a lot of things in their minds, she took her first step and made her way to the table, standing beside Li Jing.

Instinctively, Li Jing bowed her head and greeted her. "Good afternoon, ma. Welcome. I hope you had a nice flight."

"You bet I did, dear. Thank you." A polite smile was all she gave to Li Jing and she went to take her seat at the first seat on left hand side of the chair at the head of the table.

The seat oppositye of where she sat remained empty. Seeing this, a soft sigh escaped her lips before she wore back her magnificent smile and looked back up to face her family.

All through, no one’s eyes lewft her. It was like she was a celebrity that would disappear soon enough.

"Lin Xiulan, where is second brother?" Hu Qi asked.

"I’m afraid he is on operations," Lin Xiulan politely responded.

Even though she was the wife of the second son, she was still younger in age when compared to Hu Qi and that was why everyone treated Hu Qi with respect, that and how well she took care of herself.

Secondly, out of all the children of Li Jing’s great grandfather, only the second brother Li Liqin was the one who ventured into the military himself and was in the Air force. As a result, they mostly did not see him as often as the others.

"Okay. I hope he is strong?"

"Yes, he is sister-in-law," Lin Xiulan responded calmly.

"Good." She returned her gaze to everyone else on the table and smiled swiftly. Everyone knew what that smile meant and that gaze, she was simply taking a head count if those who were present and those who were not.

That brings us to the other family members present.

Some of which were her uncles and aunties, as well as children of her grand uncles and their own children.

Soon, every other person that needed to be there, filed in and the gathering became complete except of course, Lin Liqin and...

"By the way, sister, where is Hu Shen and Hu Shan?" Lin Jie asked out of the blue when they were all seated.

Hu Qi stopped what she was saying and looked over to her ever mouthy younger brother. He was fearless and not scared of anyone.

Everyone had thought he would follow in his father and brother’s footsteps but he refused to follow the family line and did business like his first older brother.
