Upon hearing this, the little girl quickly stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction Qiu Li was pointing.
In an instant, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes! Thank you so much for today!"
After saying that, the little girl ran out and headed towards the woman, occasionally turning back to wave to Qiu Li.
At that moment, inside the coffee shop, an exquisite cake had just been served.
Qiu Mang looked up and glanced in the direction of the children's play area. "Miss Xu, I'll go and bring my sister over."
After saying that, Qiu Mang got up and walked quickly to the children's play area, where she pulled little Qiu Li, who was having a great time and was covered in sweat, off the slide.
Little Qiu Li was still clutching a small plastic shovel in her hand, looking completely bewildered as she was being pulled along, her little mouth pouting high, clearly not having had enough fun yet.
However, upon returning to her seat and seeing the mille-feuille cake on the table, the little girl immediately smiled again. Indeed, she not only loves to play but is also a foodie.
After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out of the coffee shop together, and Xu Jingyan's phone rang.
She took out her phone, and when she saw the incoming caller ID flashing on the screen, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Three minutes later, Xu Jingyan hung up the phone. Qiu Mang looked at Xu Jingyan and said, "Ms. Xu, is there something urgent that you need to deal with? If you're busy, you can go ahead and do your thing. We'll contact you again later."
Of course, it's one thing for her to agree to help Xu Jingyan pursue men, but she and Xu Jingyan aren't close, and it's quite tiring to keep chatting like this.
Xu Jingyan clearly didn't feel tired. She put her phone back in her bag, still smiling, and said, "No need. I just met a friend nearby. Let's go together!"
Huh? This...
Qiu Mang is a bit socially awkward, and besides, Xu Jingyan's dinner party is definitely full of rich second-generation kids like her. She really doesn't know how to get along with these people!
Qiu Mang subconsciously took a small step back, looking troubled: "I don't know any of them, it's not appropriate to go there rashly, let's forget about it."
Seeing this, Xu Jingyan stepped forward like an older sister and gently removed a strand of hair stuck to Qiu Mang's clothes.
In a gentle tone, she said, "It's okay. They're all very easy to get along with. You're new to Guangcheng, so it's always good to make more friends. You can look out for each other in the future. Just think of it as a relaxing trip and don't be too reserved."
Just as Qiu Mang was about to refuse, Xu Jingyan immediately changed tactics and set her sights on Xiao Qiu Li.
She crouched down to be at eye level with Xiao Qiuli, her eyes full of doting affection: "Ali, do you want to come with your sister Jingyan? I'll take you to play, okay?"
The little one was indeed easy to fool. Her eyes immediately lit up when she heard there was something to do. She turned to Qiu Mang and pulled her hand, "Sister, come on, come on, Ali wants to go!"
Qiu Mang took a deep breath, "Okay..."
Xu Jingyan drove to the entrance of a beauty salon.
As soon as she entered, the beautician greeted her with a smile and a slight bow, "Ms. Xu, this way please. Mrs. Lu and Ms. Lu have been waiting inside for quite some time."
As she spoke, the beautician extended her arm and gestured for the customer to enter.
Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu? Could it be...?
The room was softly lit, with a faint fragrance wafting in the air. On two comfortable beauty beds, two beautiful women lay with their eyes closed, while two beauticians massaged their faces.
"Mom, after all these years, is Xu Jingyan still clinging to Yanting like this?" Lu Nian asked.
Mother Lu sighed softly and said slowly, "Who says otherwise! Actually, I can also see that Yan Ting doesn't have any romantic feelings for Jing Yan at all."
But you also know what happened back then. Jingyan almost lost her life to save Yanting. She risked her own life to save him; even if Yanting didn't have feelings for her, he couldn't just ignore her and leave her alone forever.
Lu Nian took a deep breath, "But Mom, does this mean we have to tie Yan Ting down for life? Although I've been abroad all these years, I've heard a lot about it."
"Back then, the Xu family almost went bankrupt and had to close down. It was only thanks to the Lu family's constant support that they achieved what they have today. Over the years, every single business deal they've made wasn't introduced by our Lu family. We've helped them a great deal; shouldn't we have repaid that debt of gratitude by now?"
"Sigh, I would rather the Xu family owe our Lu family money, whether it's billions or hundreds of billions, at least there's a specific amount, and it will be paid off sooner or later."
But this life-saving grace is truly immeasurable in monetary terms.
I can't say much about this matter, after all, the one who tied the knot must untie it, and it all depends on what Yan Ting thinks.
He must understand Jingyan's feelings for him. I think our two families know each other well and are a good match. If they can really get together, that would be fine. Jingyan is indeed a good girl in many ways.
"But if Yanting doesn't like her and only forces himself to marry her to repay a debt of gratitude, then as his mother, I won't feel good seeing him suffer." Mother Lu looked worried, her words full of heartache for her son.
Lu Nian reached out and pulled the blanket up, wrapping herself tightly, before asking, "So what exactly is Yan Ting thinking?"
Mrs. Lu frowned helplessly, her worries deepening. She complained, "He doesn't tell me anything anymore. What else could he possibly say to me...? I'm a simple person. I just want to eat, drink, and have fun every day. Don't worry about me. Tell me, is this what a son should say to his mother?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Nian couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "What he said isn't wrong!"
Lu's mother feigned anger, looking at her daughter reproachfully: "What? Are you making fun of me too?"
Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open.
"Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, you two look so happy. Are you talking about something fun?" A beautician in a pink uniform walked in with a smile, followed by three other people.
"Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, Miss Xu is here!" The beautician stepped aside, revealing Xu Jingyan's face behind her.
When Lu's mother opened her eyes, the beautician who was massaging her also slowed down her movements.
Lu's mother immediately put on a smile and warmly greeted, "Jingyan, come here quickly! I was always too busy to get together with you before. Today, Anian is back in the country, so I thought I'd invite you along so we can all get together."
