Seeing that Qiu Bojie was chatting very well with those rising stars, Chu Jiang let him do as he pleased.
I turned my head and searched for that familiar figure.
Xi Ran stood motionless to the side, like a statue, maintaining the same posture.
Chu Jiang shook his head and smiled helplessly, slowly approaching the familiar figure and gently patting her shoulder.
Xi Ran looked startled, patted her heaving chest, touched the expensive diamond necklace, and complained, "What are you doing? You scared me! What if you broke it?"
Chu Jiang sighed and pointed to the necklace around her neck. "If this thing is a restraint, I'll take it off and put it in the car. We won't wear it anymore."
Xi Ran's eyes lit up. "Really? Can I really choose not to wear it?"
Chu Jiang nodded seriously, "Okay! The point of going out to have fun is to have fun, but if you're always worried about losing your necklace and your attention is completely focused on it, constantly on alert, what's the point of going out to have fun?"
Xi Ran cautiously glanced towards Yu Xuehui's direction, "But won't Aunt Yu be angry if we take it down without permission?"
"This is not your responsibility; leave it to me to handle."
"Alright then."
Chu Jiang also received permission, and walked around behind Xi Ran to take off the heavy diamond necklace for her, muttering to himself.
"Mom is really generous. She kept this in her safe and was reluctant to take it out, but I didn't expect her to take it out for you today. My mom is quite satisfied with you as her future daughter-in-law."
Xi Ran blushed and pinched Chu Jiangyi's waist hard, scolding him, "Stop talking nonsense. Quickly put this valuable item away. If you lose it, I can't pay it back even if I sell it."
Chu Jiang said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll leave the diamond necklace in the car and return it to Mom after the wedding. Is that alright?"
Xi Ran smiled sweetly, "Okay! We'll do it your way. You have no idea how stiff I am when I'm wearing such an expensive diamond necklace. I'm afraid the necklace will fall off and break. Even eating something is a luxury."
Chu Jiangyi patted Xi Ran's head tenderly, "My poor little girl, quickly eat some cake to fill your stomach, don't go hungry. I'll take the necklace and put it away."
"Okay, okay! Hurry up and put it away!" Xi Ran urged.
Chu Jiang knew what the girl was thinking, smiled helplessly, and strode out.
Seeing her brother leave, Chu Jiangning handed him a piece of blueberry cake. "Sister Xi Ran! You should try this blueberry cake. It's not just delicious, it's exceptionally delicious. Everyone else has eaten it all, so I specially saved a piece for you. Please try it."
Xi Ran smiled and took the cake from Chu Jiangning. "Thank you, Ningning! I was just feeling hungry."
Xi Ran took a bite and kept praising, "This blueberry cake is really delicious."
"Of course, luckily I acted quickly, otherwise this last piece would have been snatched away."
"Thank you, Ningning!"
"You're welcome!"
The two chatted idly.
Chu Jiangning suddenly noticed something, exclaimed, and pointed at Xi Ran's neck, "Sister Xi Ran! Where did your necklace go? That thing is so expensive, you didn't lose it, did you?"
Xi Ran smiled and said, "No, I know that thing is expensive. I can't afford to pay for it if it gets broken. So I had your brother take it off and put it away. To be honest, wearing such an expensive necklace made me unable to walk properly. It was like a shackle. Now that I've taken it off, I feel so much lighter."
