Nothing To Give But My Heart

Chapter 1650



This time around, they used a white eyeshadow as the base then stuck on small gold sequins on the corner of her eyelids to match her silver dress.

Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes were clear. Because she had just finished crying, her eyes looked brighter and cleaner. Although the makeup artist had covered up around her eyes, there was clearly still some redness even without applying any color. Nonetheless, the highly-skilled makeup artist made it look like it was pink eyeshadow and not like she had just cried.

“So pretty.” The makeup artist pushed her hair back for her. “This is it for your makeup. Remember to smile when you go downstairs later.”

“Yeah.”

Tang Yuanyuan had her emotions completely under control now. She was not going to cry easily, but having to smile was still a bit hard.

“Can you smile for me now? I want to check if the makeup is accurate,” the makeup artist requested.

Tang Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly lifted the corners of her lips, but it was hard to keep a smile. Alas, she gave up and looked at the makeup artist.

“It’s fine. It’s okay if you can’t smile. Just don’t force yourself. There will be a lot of people when you go downstairs later, and you will also see your relatives. That should make you smile naturally.”

After that, the makeup artist and her assistant checked Tang Yuanyuan over to make sure that every detail on her was perfect before guiding her outside.

“These heels are a bit high. Be careful when you’re walking so you don’t fall over.”

“Okay.” Tang Yuanyuan nodded, then was led outside by the makeup artist.

The person waiting for her outside instantly looked delighted upon seeing her and quickly went up. “Miss Tang, are you done with your makeup?”

“Yes, all done. You can let them know downstairs to commence the ceremony now.”

“Okay.”

“I didn’t make them wait too long, did I?” she asked out of concern because it felt like she had taken up too much time.

The person chortled, “What are you talking about, Miss Tang? Everyone is here to attend the coming-of-age ceremony and also drink and chat. Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Ye are both downstairs keeping the guests’ company. I’ll go let them know now. You can take your time, Miss Tang.”

“Thank you.”

There were many guests there that day. Most of these guests were people well-acquainted with the Tang Family, and not people who were there to seek connections. A lot of them also brought gifts. Because there was no appointed time for when the ceremony would begin, no one complained even after waiting for a long time.

Moreover, the guests who were there that day included people from the Ye Family and Han Family. It was rare to see the Three Great Families gather together.

That prompted people to whisper behind their backs.

“I get why the Ye Family is here at the Tang Family’s daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. She and the Ye Group’s Young Master Yishu are childhood friends. It would not make sense for them to not be here. But what has this got to do with the Han Family? I haven’t heard of the two young masters having any sort of relationship with the Tang Family’s daughter.”

“You’re so clueless. How do you think the daughter of the Tang Family and Young Master Yuchi became childhood friends? Isn’t it only because Mrs. Ye allowed it to happen? Otherwise, why couldn’t other daughters get the chance as well? I heard that when President Ye went to the Tang Group back then, he was looking for a little girlfriend for his son and the Tang Family’s daughter just so happened to be chosen for that.”

“Really? The Tang Family sure was lucky. Before they got close to the Ye Family, the Tang Group was just an average group in North City. But now, they’ve managed to become one of the Three Great Families.”

“That’s why it’s important to have connections. The Tang Family’s daughter is probably set to be the Ye Group’s daughter-in-law. Han Qing, the head of the Han Group, is also Mrs. Ye’s brother. Not only does he adore his wife, but he also adores his sister. As a brother, how could he not come and show his support for the one his sister has chosen?”

“So you’re saying that falling in favor of the Ye Family is basically winning both the Ye and Han Families?”

“Not only that.”

“Not only that?” someone exclaimed.

“Have you heard of the Yuchi Family from overseas? That old businessman has handed over his whole group to his young great-grandson.”

The whole Yuchi Group was under Yuchi Yishu’s name.

Yuchi Yishu became the youngest and richest man in a split second.

The crowd was beyond awe-struck. At the same time, one of them had a thought.

“But does Young Master Yushi like the person Mrs. Ye has chosen? I heard that the Tang Family’s daughter is really fat, weighing almost 200 pounds.”

Another person shot back, “Stop it, you. 200 pounds? Those are all just rumors. Even if it were true, you’re in no place to criticize.”

“If it were true, how could Young Master Yushi like such a fat girl? There must be something wrong with his eyes. I’ve seen Young Master Yushi before. He’s tall, thin, and looks exactly like President Ye. Shouldn’t he at least find someone on the same level as he is?”

“Perhaps other people might have a chance too?”

Thus, ideas snuck into the minds of the people at the banquet.

They quickly called their daughters over. One of them was the Zhang Family. Their daughter was 19 years old, had fair skin, a slender body, and a unique face. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Ning, didn’t you complain last time that none of the guys at your school who were after you were good looking?”

After being dragged by her mother and asked such a question, Zhang Ningwu could not help but look confused. “Yeah, I did. Why?”

“Then what do you think of that guy on stage? Does he fit your standards?”

“Mom, I’m still young. I just became an adult last year. Can you stop worrying over how I won’t be able to marry anyone and constantly make me pick a guy’s appearance?”

“Ning, I just want what’s best for you. Girls have to get married no matter what. You’re still young and beautiful now. Do you want to wait until you’re old and unattractive to find a partner? Will any exceptional men still like you then?”

“Old and unattractive? You’re being too dramatic, Mom. I’m only 19. I’ll probably only be considered old and unattractive in 20 years. Can you stop being so anxious?”

“Oh, just take a look first. If you don’t like him, then just pretend I never said anything.”

Zhang Ningwu’s gaze followed in the direction her mother was pointing and spotted Yuchi Yishu on stage.

Yuchi Yishu was in formal attire that day. The blue suit he was wearing looked like it was tailored just for him and every move he made exuded an air of elegance.

Zhang Ningwu always felt like suits were not the best-looking outfits as most guys in suits somehow looked like they sold insurance.

She did not have a good impression of suits because of that.

After seeing Yuchi Yishu, however, she suddenly felt like suits were not ugly but they just had not found a compatible partner—just like her.

It was not that she did not want to date anyone, but she just did not like any of her pursuers.

Seeing her daughter in a daze, Mrs. Zhang smirked. “What do you think? This one is quite exceptional, isn’t he?”

Zhang Ningwu snapped back into reality and gave a smug look. “Are you telling me that such an exceptional guy doesn’t already have a partner? The only concern is not letting him get snatched away. I, for one, do not want to be the third person.”
