In the lounge, Li Boyan gave the gift he had just bought to Li Yunshu.
"Little sister, do you like it?"
Li Yunshu took it and opened the small box. Inside was a green jadeite egg-shaped ring with excellent water content. The base of the ring was silver and the edges were inlaid with crystals. It was very beautiful.
"It's really beautiful, I like it very much, thank you brother 괗."
"You like Dai Xiao." Li Boyan's heart was full of affection.
He found that his younger sister had earrings given by Zhan Xiang, a necklace given by his elder brother, and a jade bracelet given by his mother, but she was missing a ring, so he chose the ring, which happened to be something his younger sister could wear directly.
Li Yunshu wore the ring on her index finger. It was neither too big nor too small, just the right size. The green jade egg-shaped ring also made her hand look particularly white.
"Xiaoyu has one too." Li Boyan took out a slightly larger box from his pocket.
"Can I have one too? Thank you, uncle." Li Xiaoyu stretched out her hands to take it, opened the box and saw a string of lavender jade bracelets inside.
Li Xiaoyu tried it on immediately and found it very beautiful and she liked it very much, so she just wore it directly.
After Li Yunshu greeted her eldest brother, she originally wanted to go to the lounge, but her good sisters who grew up together happened to come, so she went to greet them.
"Yunshu, you are dressed so beautifully today. Your skirt is the same color as the tablecloth."
Li Yunshu: “…”
The second half can actually be left unsaid.
"Where is your sister, Yunshu?"
Everyone looked around curiously, all of them were full of curiosity about the Li family's biological daughter.
It is not only not easy but also miraculous that it was found after being lost for more than 40 years.
Li Yunshu said: "She is not outside, she is in the lounge with my mother."
"Why don't you come out? Are you embarrassed to see people?" asked Li Erqin, who grew up with Li Yunshu and had a good relationship with her.
She felt a little unfair for her good sister. Yunshu had been the daughter of the Li family for so many years. Both eldest brother Li and young brother Li were busy and could not take care of the two elderly people. It was Yunshu who often went to take care of and accompany them. Although she was not a biological daughter, she was better than a biological daughter.
But once their biological daughter was found, the Li family held a grand family recognition banquet. Where did they put Yunshu, their adopted daughter?
Li Yunshu said: "Sister Shushu, this is the first time you've seen such a scene, so it's normal for you to feel a little embarrassed."
"What does your sister Shushu do?" someone asked Li Yunshu curiously.
Li Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I heard that she got divorced in the past two years, and she moved out with her daughter from her husband's house and set up a dumpling stall. Now she has opened a small dumpling shop. I'm not sure about the details."
She said and shook her head.
When they heard that he didn't even have a formal job and was divorced, and was doing something with his daughter, the expressions of the women surrounding Li Yunshu changed.
There aren't many divorces these days, and it's not decent to set up a stall and be a self-employed person.
In their circle where almost half of the people work for the government, it is even more disgraceful.
"Why did she get divorced?" someone asked Li Yunshu.
The latter pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know either, Shushu didn't tell me. After all, divorce is not a glorious thing, and no one wants to talk about it."
"Anyway, there will definitely be no divorce for no reason, right?"
"Of course," Li Erqin said, "If they were living a good life, who would want to get divorced? There must be something wrong."
"Did she make some mistake in her marriage and her husband doesn't want her anymore?" someone speculated.
This woman made mistakes in her marriage, didn't she?
Li Yunshu glared and said seriously, "Don't make blind guesses. These words are not nonsense."
When others saw how serious Li Yunshu was, they waved their hands and said they would not make blind guesses or say anything nonsense.
Li Yunshu sighed and said with pity: "My sister Yunshu is really pitiful. After she got separated from my mother and the others, she lived on the streets begging for a living. She never went to school and has suffered a lot since she was a child."
"That's really pitiful." Everyone nodded.
"That was the driver's daughter. She was only three years old when she was lost. She was so young and ended up on the streets with no one to take care of her. She had to beg for a living. I can't imagine how she survived all these years."
"Yes, he has never been to school and doesn't even have a formal job. He is divorced and just runs a stall to make a living. If he hadn't lost his job, he should be the head of a drama troupe like Yunshu, or a small leader in that government agency."
"Isn't it?"
Everyone sighed, and their hearts were filled with sympathy for Li Yunshu, whom they were about to meet.
Li Yunshu's eyes twitched. No, she said that Li Shuping had been a beggar when she was a child, had suffered a lot, and had no education. She didn't say that she wanted them to feel pity and sympathy for her!
After all, being a beggar and having no education was not a glorious thing, and it would be embarrassing for Li Shuping if others knew about it.
How come they really felt pity and sympathy for her, and even said that she should be the one living her life now?
"Yunshu, doesn't she look quite old?"
Li Yunshu thought of Li Shuping's appearance, her eyes twitched and she said, "You'll know when you see it later."
Although Li Shuping was dressed quite simply, she didn't look that old.
After hearing Li Yunshu's answer, others felt that the Li family's newly adopted daughter should look quite old.
After all, she had suffered a lot and had no education, so she must have been tortured by life and looked very old. She would dress in a rather vulgar way and behave in a somewhat vulgar manner.
There is definitely no comparison with the glamorous, cultured Li Yunshu.
Su Wanzhen greeted the new guests, looked at Li Yunshu who was chatting animatedly with a group of women not far away, and frowned.
I don't know what she was saying to those women. She frowned and sighed from time to time.
In front of the hotel.
Zheng Xinmei, wearing a light green floral dress, walked up the steps of the hotel. She turned around and saw her husband Jiang Jun still dawdling behind her. She couldn't help but urge him, "Jiang Jun, why don't you hurry up? It's already eleven o'clock, and most people must have arrived."
As the younger generation, it would be very rude of them to arrive last.
Jiang Jun, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and black pants, walked up the stairs slowly with his hands in his pockets.
He didn't want to attend this family reunion banquet, and he would be looked down upon if he came.
Ever since his father got into trouble last year and was removed from his position as director of the Electricity Bureau, his father-in-law and mother-in-law looked down on him, thinking that he, as a son-in-law, had brought shame to them.
It was the old man’s birthday, and he and Xinmei had prepared the gifts and were planning to go.
But the day before, my mother-in-law called them and said that if they had something else to do, they didn't have to go. It wasn't a big birthday party anyway, they just had a few tables at home and invited some relatives and friends.
Didn't the mother-in-law make this call specifically to ask him and Xinmei not to go?
They had no choice but to agree with her and said that they really had something to do and would not go.
If Li's aunt hadn't called in advance for this family reunion banquet, he wouldn't have come!
As long as he thought about seeing his mother-in-law's disgusted eyes later, he didn't want to enter the restaurant.
