Chapter 57 Banquet Preparation

Venus may experience hardships, work hard to become stronger, or be betrayed by those she trusts. It is nothing more than this. It is impossible to choose the most expensive experience in life.

Luck accounts for a large part of what kind of life a person can lead, and the other part is personal development and growth.

There is an old Chinese saying: First, be born into a good family. Being born into a good family is indeed a technical job.

Next, Zhang Wei will go to meet those British "relatives" who were born into a good family.

After lunch the next day, Emma asked someone to open the boxes she brought one by one, and then asked the maid to iron all the dresses again.

The only two servants in the castle were busy as hell. Lady Mary even went to the warehouse to pick out some jewelry.

The three Leida brothers didn't want to stand there and wait, so they went to their room to play by themselves. This time he brought a game console for his younger brothers to play, and they were having a great time.

Zhang Wei watched Emma busy in the living room and occasionally helped her pass things.

"Vera! Honey, it's a good thing you're here. The boys wouldn't be able to help!"

Emma was never stingy with her compliments.

Zhang Wei actually found it quite novel. She originally thought that she could just order the clothes in Country A and bring them over to wear, but she didn't expect that taking care of these clothes would be quite troublesome.

There will definitely be some wrinkles when taking the clothes out of the box. When ironing, they cannot get wet and the temperature cannot be too high. There are six people in their family, so they have more than six sets of clothes, and there are also spare clothes. It depends on the two servants to iron them slowly. No wonder they have to start at noon.

Moreover, the box that Emma opened last was full of jewelry, corsages, and cufflinks, which were obviously not of the same quality as those in Zhang Wei's cloakroom.

Zhang Wei feels that there are three words written on each piece: I am expensive.

Then Emma needed to match each of their clothes with an outfit, even Namir's.

Zhang Wei felt that she could never do this because she didn't know what to match with what.

Don’t think that men’s clothing is simpler than women’s. Men have a lot of different styles of clothing, such as ties, belts, watches, cufflinks, etc.

However, Emma would explain it to her bit by bit when she was choosing: Montblanc's platinum cufflinks were more suitable for Charles, and sapphire and gold cufflinks were suitable for Leda...

Zhang Wei: She can probably only roughly judge the material based on the color. As for the brand, it is a fantasy to her.

Anyway, Zhang Wei finally experienced what it felt like for knowledge to flow through her mind, but she couldn't remember anything.

After calling the boys down to try out Emma's outfits, Zhang Wei felt that the three of them could go straight to shoot a magazine photoshoot.

The usually enthusiastic Leida wore a silver-gray three-piece suit with a vest, paired with a bright-colored tie and cufflinks. He looked handsome and warm, like a true prince charming.

Manny also wore the same three-piece suit, but his was black, which made his skin look whiter and his facial features more delicate. He wore a simple dark gem brooch, and looked like an elf boy in a fairy tale.

The only one who was dressed differently from them was Namir. Perhaps because he was too young, Emma prepared for him a white shirt with a small stand-up collar and dark embroidery, paired with overalls and a bow tie, which made him look a lot more stable.

"The boys have grown up!" Emma exclaimed with pride and sincerity.

"Yes, time always flies so fast!" Aunt Mary also came over at this time. Looking at the three brothers dressed up, she seemed to be immersed in some memories again.

"Then we'll go upstairs and wait for you!" Manny felt a little shy when he was stared at. He said this and ran upstairs with his two brothers.

Aunt Mary finally came to her senses from her memories and pointed to the boxes held by the old housekeeper and said to Emma:

"Most of my mother's jewelry was left to me. I rarely need to use them. These few pieces are still in good condition. I think you can use them."

"No, thank you, Mary. We brought the jewels with us. They belong to you, as your mother left them to you. Charles has taken many things. I am sorry, but I cannot accept them."

Emma declined sincerely.

But Aunt Mary said firmly:

"They are just some old jewelry. They are not worth much now. I will take them to my grave if I keep them. You and your daughter are also members of the Wilson family."

She glanced at Zhang Wei, who looked surprised, and continued:

"Take advantage of it now, it's my gift to you in advance. You know, my health is not very good, and I don't know when I can go to accompany Collins."

"Please don't say that!" Emma felt a little sad and went over to hold her hand. Zhang Wei also walked over immediately.

Although Aunt Mary's attitude was not very kind at first, she was not bad to her. She even took her gold pen, although it was a gift for the competition.

Today, she directly acknowledged her identity in the Wilson family. On the day of the family gathering, she was obviously also making her attitude towards Emma clear that she and they have always been the closest family.

"You will definitely stay with us for a long time!" Zhang Wei touched her skinny fingers and said seriously.

"Yes, Mary, Vera is right. Our family will definitely stay together longer." Emma said with a hint of nasal voice. It was obvious that she suppressed her tears and pretended to be cheerful.

"Come on, Vera! Let's see what goodies Aunt Mary has left for us!"

Only then did the old butler, who had been standing by as invisible, carefully place the box on the table next to him.

There was still some dust on the boxes. He wiped the four boxes carefully with a cloth and walked away.

"Vera, open it quickly!" Emma didn't move, but just urged.

Zhang Wei could only choose a slender box closest to her. She tried to bend it but couldn't open it. Then she found that there were snap fasteners on both ends of the box, but the copper had rusted and turned green, almost blending in with the green box.

When the buckle was opened, it turned out to be an exquisite necklace made of a gold cross and gemstones of several colors.

It does not look as luxurious as imagined. The golden cross, pink and green natural minerals and pearls in the middle look very refreshing. The grains are not big, and it is very delicate and beautiful, unlike the style of long ago.

"This necklace is perfect for you, Vera. Try it on!"

At Emma's urging, Zhang Wei looked at Aunt Mary, and she nodded, and then Zhang Wei put it on.

Zhang Wei felt that the necklace was a little big for her. If she grew a little older, the necklace would hang just right on her collarbone, which would definitely be very beautiful.

Zhang Wei was about to take it off after trying it on when Aunt Mary said:

"This necklace was my favorite when I was ten. It's perfect for you. Wear it!"

In this way, Zhang Wei's wealth was increased by one more, and it came from Aunt Mary. She felt a little embarrassed because all the wool was fleeced from her head.
