Chapter 149: Feeling Like Old Friends at First Sight
"Forget it, why don't you stay here with Auntie and Miss Shen? I'll go back to my room and finish reading that book first."
"Miss Shen has just returned from studying abroad, and she is so polite that she is anxious to visit the Yan family. You are also a member of their family. According to etiquette, you should stay here to accompany them. You and I haven't officially held a wedding banquet yet, so we are not considered to be members of the Yan family. It is not appropriate for me to stay here."
After hearing this, Yan's mother and Shen Miaomiao were delighted, thinking that she had seen the gap between them and Shen Miaomiao.
But only Yan Li'an knew that Su Jinhui was angry. Even though she had a faint smile on her face now, it would be a disaster if she really ignored him.
"You don't have to go anywhere. You are my wife and a member of the Yan family."
He took Su Jinhui's hand and sat back on the chair. During the whole process, Yan Li'an had no intention of letting go of Su Jinhui's hand. This scene deeply hurt Shen Miaomiao's eyes.
She bit her lower lip unwillingly, and suddenly stood up and walked to Su Jinhui, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't recognize you just now. I didn't know you were Brother Yan's fiancée. I just heard from my aunt that you were going to prepare a wedding banquet."
"Although I have no experience of marriage, I know the process of marriage abroad. Plus, many people like foreign weddings nowadays. How about I help you plan the wedding banquet?"
"Actually, the moment I saw you when I walked in, I thought you looked a bit like my sister. My sister is also a very good woman, and she also married a man who loves her."
"I'm not sure if you'll believe me when I say this. I feel like we're familiar faces from the first sight. You feel like my sister. Besides, I haven't been active in the capital for a long time, and I don't have any close friends to talk to. If possible, can I come over to play with you more often in the future?"
She blinked her innocent eyes and asked Su Jinhui.
Su Jinhui curled her lips, with a faint smile on her face.
Did she...meet a little white flower?
Seeing that Su Jinhui didn’t say anything, Shen Miaomiao didn’t give up, but continued, “I know that my sister may not believe what I said suddenly, but I really want to be friends with you, but I won’t force it. If you don’t want to, forget it.”
"Of course, Su Jinhui is willing. How could she not want to? Miaomiao, you can take Su Jinhui on a good stroll around Kyoto. I believe that with your vision, Su Jinhui will definitely be able to open her eyes."
Before Su Jinhui could say anything, Yan's mother couldn't wait to agree.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to let Shen Miaomiao be with Su Jinhui, so that she would know that a girl from the countryside could never compare to the ladies from the capital.
"Okay, since my aunt has already spoken, then you can help prepare for the wedding banquet. I don't have many friends in the capital, and Miss Shen is the first one."
"That's great, it's an honor to be your first friend."
Shen Miaomiao looked at Yan Li'an again, her whole body full of affection, "Brother Yan, I heard that you went to the island to join the army. It's been several years since we last met. When I was little, you often bought me candy."
"You and I have grown up together. Let's go out and get together sometime. I can also invite my friends in Beijing to come out and meet them. I haven't seen them for a long time."
When Su Jinhui heard Shen Miaomiao mention her childhood, a flash of displeasure flashed through her mind. She pursed her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Yan Li'an was very good at observing people's expressions. He noticed that Su Jinhui seemed a little unhappy when she told Shen Miaomiao about her childhood memories.
He reacted instantly and wondered if Su Jinhui was jealous.
He couldn't help but relax his brows and feel much happier, but as he looked at the two of them, he didn't point it out.
"It's been so long since I last saw it, I don't remember it very clearly, but if you want to go out and get together, that's fine. I can also introduce Su Jinhui to the younger generation in Beijing and let them know the relationship between Jinhui and me."
Shen Miaomiao smiled awkwardly. Even at this time, Yan Li'an was still worried about Su Jinhui. It seemed that Su Jinhui's position in Yan Li'an's heart was indeed extraordinary.
However, now that she is back, she has plenty of opportunities and means.
"Sister Su, just now my aunt said she wanted me to take you to Kyoto for a good stroll. How about this? Although I studied abroad for a few years, Kyoto is still my home after all. I grew up here. And I found that the changes here haven't been particularly big in the past two days since I came back. I guess you haven't been out for a good stroll in all this time, right?"
"How about I take this opportunity to take you out for a walk and buy some things?"
She looked at Su Jinhui expectantly, having already thought of ways to make things difficult for her.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do today anyway, I'll go with you, Miss Shen."
She turned to look at Yan Li'an and said gently, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll be with Miss Shen."
Yan Li'an fixed his gaze on Shen Miaomiao, and finally stopped at Su Jinhui. "Well, if you see something you like on the street, you can tell the boss to put the bill in my name first. I will pay you after I'm done."
Su Jinhui was stunned. It was different now that she was back home. Yan Li'an was willing to help her out.
I’m afraid that what he said would make Yan’s mother and Shen Miaomiao even more unhappy.
"No, I have money."
Shen Miaomiao didn’t care much about what Su Jinhui said, “Then Sister Su, let’s go quickly.”
She pulled Su Jinhui away from the Yan family and took her to a famous commercial street in Kyoto. This street was basically full of high-end clothing stores. The clothes or other things sold in any store were not affordable for ordinary people.
"Sister Su, that cheongsam shop is where my mom took me when I was little. The owner has great craftsmanship, and the clothes she makes are perfect for you, and the styles are also novel and beautiful. Let me take you to have a look!"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Jinhui's consent, she directly took Su Jinhui's hand and went in. When the boss saw two young girls coming into the store, he immediately came over to greet them happily, "Ladies, do you want to customize cheongsams?"
Su Jinhui observed that there were many materials in the cheongsam shop that had not been made into clothes. These materials should be used for custom-making cheongsams.
In addition, there are some finished products on display, but it can be seen that the workmanship is smooth and exquisite, which is worthy of the high price.
The key point is that Shen Miaomiao knew that Su Jinhui came from a poor family, but she deliberately brought her to a high-end place and spent money just to see her make a fool of herself.
"I won't be ordering a cheongsam today. The waiting time is too long. I'm bringing my friend over to the store to see if there are any ready-made dresses. I'll also pick out a couple for her."
"Sister Su, this shop has great cheongsams. Would you like to pick one?"
As soon as Shen Miaomiao finished speaking, she suddenly walked towards one of the cheongsams. Although this cheongsam was hanging on a hanger, it was surrounded by a glass protective cover, which obviously made it extremely valuable.
"I think this white cheongsam is quite nice. Madam, could you please take it down and let my friend try it on?"
"If it fits, buy this one."
