I didn't understand what was going on, but then Lu Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Mom, Xiaoshan prepared a gift for you. I think you'll like it, too."
Zhao Xian was stunned, and Liu Yuan and Yuan Yaxin were also stunned.
I was very surprised. Lu Zhiyuan was unhappy just because Zhao Xian ignored the gift I gave her?
"What gift did your sister-in-law give you? Why not let us all appreciate it?" Liu Yuan spoke in time to smooth things over.
"I'm also curious about what gift Xiaoshan will give me." Zhao Xian smiled awkwardly and opened the big box on the table.
Immediately, she touched the cheongsam inside and the corners of her mouth rose subconsciously.
Although I had no intention of pleasing her, I did a lot of work to avoid embarrassing Lu Zhiyuan and to maintain the relationship between her and me as mother-in-law.
Zhao Xian was a Chinese teacher before she retired. She considered herself a scholar and especially liked elegant things.
Cheongsam is one of her hobbies.
"How is it? Mom, is this the gift you like?" Lu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I like it very much. Xiaoshan is thoughtful." Zhao Xian looked back at me and her attitude became gentler.
Liu Yuan flattered, "The bamboo-patterned cheongsam perfectly matches your noble temperament, Auntie."
Yuan Yaxin continued softly, "This cheongsam and the jade bracelet go very well together. Auntie, why don't you try them on?"
"Okay, I'll change right away." Zhao Xian was so flattered by the praise that she happily went to the hotel's changing room with the box in her arms.
A few minutes later, she came out after changing her clothes and turned around in front of everyone with a proud look on her face.
She was the birthday girl today and the guests were flattering her.
Zhao Xian happily moved among the crowd, chatting enthusiastically with everyone.
"Wife, I'm going to the bathroom." Lu Zhiyuan said to me.
I nodded absentmindedly, my eyes always on my deskmates Liu Yuan and Yuan Yaxin.
Just as I expected, after sitting down, Yuan Yaxin and Liu Yuan seemed very distant. They didn't pay much attention to each other, but instead played with their mobile phones.
Shortly after Lu Zhiyuan left, Liu Yuan suddenly received a call.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately stood up and walked out the door.
After the two of them left, Yuan Yaxin became the person closest to me.
I subconsciously glanced at her and found that she was looking up at me.
"Lan Shan, you are very trustworthy." Yuan Yaxin said to me in a deep voice, as if smiling, "This fact makes me look at you with new eyes."
"What?" I was stunned.
The next second I realized that what she meant was that I should help her hide the house-viewing from Liu Yuan.
I was too lazy to explain to her the relationship between Wu Ying and me.
She took the initiative to talk to me at this moment, which gave me an idea.
"Ms. Yuan, have you bought the villa in Kangyue Manor?" I asked her on a sudden inspiration.
Yuan Yaxin nodded.
I pressed, "Have you met the previous owner? When you signed the lease, you probably exchanged copies of your IDs, right?"
Maybe I shouldn't have to go to all the trouble of tracking down Q.
If I'm lucky, Yuan Yaxin will be able to provide me with Q's ID!
As soon as I finished speaking, Yuan Yaxin narrowed her eyes and looked at me meaningfully.
She couldn't understand my intention.
I pursed my lips. How should I explain it to her?
Should I tell her: Our husbands have both cheated on us, we are in the same boat, please help me?
At the same time, Yuan Yaxin suddenly said: "Your husband is cheating on you, and the previous owner of the house is the one he cheated on with."
I was struck by lightning. I never expected that Yuan Yaxin could tell me my current situation in just one sentence.
