Han Songyan quickly changed the subject.

"Madam Li, I didn't expect you and Yushu to come to our home today. I didn't make any preparations beforehand. It's getting late, how about we go out for dinner?"

Madam Li smiled and looked at Han Songyan: "If I had made you so reserved, I wouldn't have come."

Han Songyan quickly smiled and said, "Not at all. I can't let my guests down. If word gets out tomorrow, people will laugh at me."

After exchanging a few jokes, Madam Li said softly.

“There’s really no need for us to go out and make a fuss about our relationship. I was just feeling bored and thought I’d like to get out for a walk. It just so happens that Yu Shu is home, so I decided to come and see you and Xi Ruo. We can just have a simple meal at home.”

As she spoke, Madam Li glanced meaningfully at her son.

She was genuinely surprised that this kid had come along.

When she goes out to meet friends, this guy stays as far away as possible.

Hearing that we were coming to the Bai family's house today, he actually volunteered to be our driver.

Madam Li's gaze fell on Bai Xiruo, a knowing smile on her face.

It seems this young man treats the Bai family girl somewhat differently.

It wasn't in vain that she put so much effort into bringing them together.

Thinking of something, Mrs. Li opened her purse.

"Xi Ruo, this is what Yu Shu brought back from abroad. Take a look and see if you like it."

Madam Li opened a wooden box engraved with antique patterns, and inside appeared a completely translucent bracelet.

Upon seeing the bracelet, Bai Xiruo's face showed a hint of surprise.

Li Yushu's clear eyes flickered slightly.

It seems like there's something to say, but it doesn't feel quite right.

This bracelet was a gift he gave to his mother when he returned to China this time.

Unexpectedly, the old man gave it away to a stranger in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't that the bracelet was particularly valuable, but rather that his mother had given it away in his name, which made a completely different impression.

Madam Li did not notice that Li Yushu's expression was off.

She personally put the bracelet on Bai Xiruo's wrist and examined it carefully: "Indeed, beautiful jade complements a beautiful woman. This bracelet makes Xiruo's skin look even whiter and more delicate."

"Aunt Li, this gift is far too precious!"

Although Bai Xiruo didn't know much about jade and gemstones, she was certain that the gifts Madam Li gave her would be of high quality.

Feeling uncertain, Bai Xiruo looked at Han Songyan for advice.

"Madam Li, Xi Ruo is right. This bracelet is too valuable. Young people don't know their own strength. What if it gets bumped or damaged? Wouldn't that be a pity?" Han Songyan said politely, but she was secretly pleased.

Li Yushu gave Xi Ruo such a valuable jade bracelet, and it was through Madam Li.

Isn't it obvious that he has feelings for Xi Ruo?

She knew that Xi Ruo was so outstanding, well-behaved, and sensible; no man would dislike this type of girl.

Thinking of this, Han Songyan felt both happy and proud.

If Xi Ruo can marry into the Li family in the future, one of her biggest wishes will be fulfilled.

"This is a small token of Yu Shu's appreciation. Please let Xi Ruo accept it," Madam Li said with a smile, glancing at Li Yu Shu, who had remained silent beside her.

He gestured with his eyes for him to say a few words as well.

Li Yushu sighed inwardly.

Now that the items have already been sent, he naturally cannot ask for them back.

He said in a nonchalant tone, "It's just a little gadget. If Xi Ruo likes it, she can take it with her."

When Xi Ruo met Li Yushu's clear and bright gaze, her face immediately turned red.

"Then thank you, Brother Yushu."

Han Yaxin and Nie Siqi, sitting on the other sofa, watched with their own thoughts.

Han Yaxin chuckled: "Judging from the quality of the bracelet, it should be glass-type jade, right? Sister, this isn't cheap."

Compared to Han Songyan, who is an ethereal artist, Han Yaxin came from humble beginnings.

She was once obsessed with jadeite, so she has a fairly good understanding of the different types of jadeite.

As soon as the bracelet given by Madam Li was revealed, she could tell that it was a rare type of glass jade.

I felt incredibly uncomfortable.

Although Xi Ruo was raised by her older sister and brother-in-law, she lived as the eldest daughter of the Bai family for twenty years.

But Xi Ruo is not the real Bai family young lady at all.

How could a girl born to a peasant woman marry into the Li family?

Madam Li currently dotes on Xi Ruo because she believes Xi Ruo is a girl from the Bai family.

Once Bai Xiruo's identity is revealed, will the Li family still look favorably upon her?

My sister is really confused.

Bai Qianmo stood at the door, her clear eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the people in the living room, each with their own thoughts, for a while.

He then stepped inside.

Han Yaxin was the first to see Bai Qianmo.

A calculating glint flashed across his shrewd face.

She said affectionately, "Qianmo is back! Your aunt was just wondering why you weren't home."

At this moment, in Han Yaxin's eyes, Bai Qianmo's appearance was undoubtedly the best weapon to provoke Bai Xiruo.

She used to dote on Bai Xiruo because Bai Xiruo was her niece.

But things are different now.

Han Yaxin was already annoyed when she learned that Bai Xiruo was not her biological niece.

Now that he knows Han Songyan is trying to matchmake Li Yushu and Bai Xiruo, the last bit of affection he had for Bai Xiruo vanished instantly.

Compared to one's own daughter, what is a niece who is not related by blood?

Anyone who gets in Siqi's way will be removed by her in every possible way.

This way

The moment Han Songyan saw Bai Qianmo, her face darkened.

His cold gaze pierced Liu Ma, who was following closely behind.

Aunt Liu lowered her head hesitantly.

She secretly groaned to herself, but there was nothing she could do. After all, her daughter was a tough nut to crack.

When Bai Xiruo saw Bai Qianmo enter the room, her slender body stiffened abruptly, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes.

"Mrs. Bai, is this little girl the distant relative you mentioned when we were at the mall last time?"

Madam Li glanced at Bai Qianmo.

Because of Bai Qianmo's outstanding appearance, Madam Li had a deep impression of her.

Han Songyan was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she nodded awkwardly.

relative?

Han Yaxin gave Han Songyan and Bai Qianmo a meaningful look.

Seeing Han Yaxin's expression, Han Songyan immediately knew what her younger sister was thinking.

He glared at her fiercely, signaling her to shut up.

Han Yaxin pouted and snorted inwardly.

Bai Qianmo walked straight to the empty single sofa and sat down.

Long legs stretched out, casually crossed.

Seeing her casual demeanor, Han Songyan gripped her dress tightly with both hands in front of her.

She knew that once this girl showed up, she was there to embarrass the Bai family.

That's why she asked Aunt Liu to wait outside early.

Han Songyan harbored resentment in her heart.

I couldn't find her for days, and she never answered my calls.

Now, all I want is for her not to come home.

But she chose to come back at this very moment.

Han Songyan felt a terrible headache.

That girl is truly her nemesis.
