When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 791: Fawning (Page 1/2)
When Lin Man came back after buying soda, she saw her fourth aunt and second aunt sitting on the wooden sofa in her mother-in-law's house, chatting and laughing with Song Jingjing and her nanny Huang Lianying.
With a smile on her face and light steps, she took the initiative to walk over and greeted them warmly: "Fourth Aunt, Little Aunt, you are here!"
At this moment, Yang Huiling and Du Xiaojuan both turned their eyes to the beauty who was gradually approaching in the light.
The person who came had exquisite facial features, a graceful figure and beautiful curves. She was wearing a gorgeous blue ruffled fishtail skirt, and the hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming blue lotus.
Coupled with the carefully applied makeup, she looks even more charming and beautiful, which is eye-catching.
Sure enough, just as Song Jingjing had described before, Lin Man was really a charming vixen!
At this moment, Yang Huiling suddenly stood up and walked quickly to Lin Man.
With a smile on her face, she affectionately took Lin Man's slender, white, soft and smooth hand and said softly, "Manman, today is your birthday! Fourth Auntie wishes you a happy birthday every year, forever young, beautiful and happy!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Huiling took out a thick red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Lin Man.
Lin Man stood there, looking at the red envelope handed to her by Fourth Aunt with a confused look in her eyes. She couldn't help but wonder: What's going on with Fourth Aunt today? I've never seen her so generous on weekdays. Why would she suddenly give me a red envelope?
Just when she was about to politely decline, Du Xiaojuan beside her quickly took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand with a smile on her face.
Du Xiaojuan said affectionately, "Xiao Man, this is a small gift from your uncle and I!
I, your aunt, would like to wish you a happy birthday! I hope you can stay young and beautiful like an 18-year-old girl forever!
Hearing this, Lin Man felt even more puzzled. She stared at the two elders in front of her with wide eyes, thinking to herself, "Could it be that Fourth Aunt and Young Aunt are possessed by some ghost?
Otherwise, why would they suddenly become so enthusiastic towards me? As the saying goes, 'If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief'. Could it be that they have some ulterior motive?"
She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes moving back and forth between the two red envelopes in her hands.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Man carefully handed the red envelope back to the two elders, and said in a firm yet gentle tone: "Fourth Aunt, Little Aunt, although today is indeed my birthday, we are just getting together as a family for a simple home-cooked meal. There is really no need to be so polite with the gift."
Yang Huiling and Du Xiaojuan looked at Lin Man, who was refusing to accept the red envelope, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
While trying to stuff the red envelope back into Lin Man's hands, they explained their intentions.
For a moment, the three of them fought back and forth, neither of them giving in, and the situation seemed to be at a stalemate.
At this moment, Song Jingjing, who had been standing by and observing silently, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Fourth Aunt, Little Aunt, and Eldest Sister-in-law have already made it clear that they don't intend to accept your gifts. You two should stop forcing it and quickly take back the red envelopes!"

Hearing Song Jingjing's words, Lin Man nodded and continued to say to the two elders, "Yes, Fourth Aunt, Little Aunt, I appreciate your coming here today. As long as your thoughtfulness is there, I'm very happy, so you should quickly accept this red envelope!"
However, Du Xiaojuan didn't seem willing to give up. She held the red envelope tightly, looked at Lin Man and said, "Xiao Man, you don't want to accept this red envelope. Are you thinking we're giving you too little? If that's the case, how about I add another fifty yuan to make it a hundred?"
After hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but think to herself: My aunt obviously wanted to reveal in front of everyone that she only gave a red envelope of fifty yuan.
However, she still maintained a polite smile on her face, and quickly waved her hand and said, "Aunt, please don't misunderstand me, I really didn't mean that.
Today, I'm simply inviting everyone to have a meal together. This isn't a formal wedding banquet, so there's no need for gifts. Please trust me." After saying this, Lin Man politely declined Du Xiaojuan's offer again.
Yang Huiling held Lin Man's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Man, I know today is your 30th birthday. I gave you a hundred yuan. Please take it. This is a small gift from me and your fourth uncle."
Song Jingjing felt very uncomfortable when she saw her fourth aunt and youngest aunt trying to please Lin Man.
Each of their bags costs fifty yuan, and each costs a hundred yuan. Do they have so much money that they have no place to spend it? This is how they try to please her good sister-in-law.
Lin Man waved her hands and said, "Aunt Four, Aunt Junior, I really can't accept your red envelopes. Please sit for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." After saying that, she turned around and trotted to the kitchen.
Lin Man looked at her fourth aunt and youngest aunt with suspicion, thinking to herself: These two people are always fawning and flattering to Song Jingjing, why would they suddenly turn around and try to please me today?
Not only that, they also held her hands tightly and refused to let go. The intimacy made Lin Man feel uncomfortable all over and she felt sick in her heart.
Originally, Lin Man thought that this abnormal situation was limited to her fourth aunt and youngest aunt, but not long after, her youngest aunt Huo Junmo also came over.
Moreover, compared with the two aunts, the performance of the younger sister-in-law is even more outstanding, and can simply be described as "passionate".
Huo Junmo was seen smiling as she walked towards Lin Man, holding a bulging red envelope in her hand, and kept saying nice things.
In addition to the red envelope, she also carefully prepared two pieces of exquisite cloth. Facing the red envelope handed over by her sister-in-law, Lin Man waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, saying that she could not accept such a generous gift.
Even the two exquisite silk brocade quilt covers that her aunt had specially selected, she was determined not to accept them. Despite her aunt's repeated persuasion, Lin Man always adhered to her principles and remained unmoved.
Time soon came to noon, and the birthday party officially began. This party was unprecedentedly grand, with the table filled with rich and delicious delicacies, making people salivate.
Everyone in the Huo family raised their glasses and toasted to Lin Man with smiles on their faces.
At first, Lin Man could still barely cope, but as more and more people came to toast her, she had unknowingly drunk several glasses.
At this moment, she only felt dizzy, and everything in front of her eyes became blurry. She felt as light as if she was walking on cotton.
