"Aunt, it's grandpa's 88th birthday, and I came to help. How could I possibly disturb my sister's work? My sister has always been more capable than me, and I still have a lot to learn from her. Don't worry, I just want to spend more time with Lanlan. After all, the child is still young, and she misses me a lot." Chen Mei immediately took over the topic reasonably. When she talked about Lanlan, her eyes were red, and she looked miserable and missed her child.
In fact
She hated it inside.
Shen Ning actually became the boss of the Li family. This bitch is really capable!
Li Wanqing looked at it and said, "Then you can stay here tonight. I'll ask Nanny Wang to prepare a guest room for you, and you can take Lanlan to sleep at night."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Chen Mei thanked her immediately and took out an exquisite jewelry box from her bag. She handed it to Li Wanqing with both hands and said sincerely, "Auntie, this is a gift for you. I asked a friend to bring it from abroad. I hope you like it."
Li Wanqing was stunned. Chen Mei actually wanted to give her a gift!
Just as he was in a daze, the door suddenly darkened and Shen Ning walked in from outside.
Shen Ning had been busy for most of the day and hadn't even had a sip of water. He was thirsty and tired at this moment, so he came back to drink water first. However, he didn't expect to see Shen Mei sitting on the sofa, still giving Li Wanqing a gift.
A moment
Her heart sank.
Having been Li Wanqing's daughter-in-law for so many years, she had never thought of currying favor with her former mother-in-law. It was not that she was stingy, but that she did not have such intentions.
She thought that she just had to do her job honestly in this family. She couldn't afford to give these empty gifts on the surface but do bad things behind the scenes.
"No, you keep it for yourself. I'm too old to use these." Li Wanhua immediately refused.
Chen Mei held the thing she had handed out with both hands in the air, but no one came to take it. She felt embarrassed and had to take it back slowly.
At this time, Li Wanhua saw Shen Ning, and immediately stood up and walked towards Shen Ning with a smile: "Ningning, you are back, it is really hard for you."
She stepped forward and held Shen Ning's hand.
Shen Ning forced a smile: "Auntie, I came back to drink some water and wanted to see the children. I wonder if they have water to do their homework."
Because Coco was going to hold a recognition ceremony at the old man's birthday party, Li Zhenting simply asked for three days off for the little ones to play and study at home.
But Shen Ning was too busy with work to take care of them and could only come back to check on them occasionally.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao is helping them with their homework upstairs. Jiaojiao is lively and good at English. She gets along well with the children. She's no worse than a kindergarten teacher. Besides, I'll be watching over them." Li Wanqing said lovingly, pulling Shen Ning aside and whispering:
"Ningning, it's like this. You saw Chen Mei coming. She's here to celebrate the old man's birthday. Originally, I didn't plan to let her come. I also know that your relationship with your father and stepmother is not good, so I didn't want to invite them at all. But I don't know how she got the invitation and came early. Now that she's here, I can't send her back. Besides, she's Lanlan's mommy, and Lanlan misses her mommy. So, I let her stay here one more night to accompany Lanlan. Don't think too much about it. You should know that I have never liked her. I didn't confiscate the gift she gave me, and I also warned her not to disrupt your work. Just focus on your work. If she does anything wrong, tell me immediately and I will teach her a lesson."
Shen Ning understood her thoughts. She was afraid that seeing Shen Mei would cause her to feel burdened and affect her work.
Overall, Li Wanqing was quite frank and sincere with her.
She knew this clearly.
“Auntie, this is the Li family. If I can come, she can come too. I have no objection.” Shen Ning immediately gave her a reassurance.
"Okay, I'm sorry for putting you through this." Li Wanqing felt relieved.
"Auntie, I'll go drink some water first." Shen Ning smiled and walked towards the restaurant.
"Yeah." Li Wanqing looked at her with a smile, turned and went to her bedroom, ignoring Chen Mei.
