Xia Xingyun sighed and softened her voice to coax, "My dear daughter, listen to Mommy. Although the Qin family is good, Qin Huan isn't all that great."
His father is useless, and now Tang Xue is in prison. He has no support whatsoever, so he definitely won't be able to inherit the Qin family business in the future.
We need to think long-term and find someone better than him to make him jealous!
The Chen family isn't much worse off than the Qin family. Didn't that boy from the Chen family like to play with you since he was little? Besides, that boy from the Chen family is an only child, so everything in the Chen family will be his in the future.
My dear daughter, listen to your mother. Now listen to your grandmother and let her help you maintain your relationship with the Chen family. In the future, you will be the young mistress of the Chen family, while Qin Huan will only receive living expenses from the Qin family fund.
Isn't that satisfying?
Li Wanjun sobbed and sniffled, "But that guy from the Chen family is fat and ugly!"
Xia Xingyun continued to coax, "My dear daughter, with today's advanced cosmetic surgery technology, where are there truly ugly people? If you think he's ugly, we'll have him get plastic surgery later..."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Qiao's cursing voice came from the living room outside the small apartment, "Xia Xingyun, what time is it? Why aren't you cooking? Do you still think you're some kind of rich lady or official's wife?"
A flash of hatred crossed Xia Xingyun's eyes. Afraid that Li Wanjun on the other end would hear Feng Qiao's voice, she quickly covered the phone with her hand and whispered, "My dear daughter, Mommy has something to do right now, so I have to go. Bye-bye!"
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Li Wanjun angrily threw her phone onto the bed. "Useless! I can only rely on myself!"
Li Wanjun's eyes darted around.
Finally, I looked at my hands, which had just started to grow new flesh after the blisters I had from planting trees last time.
She looked at her face in the mirror again. Although she had taken precautions against the sun when she planted the tree last time, her face was still sunburned that day, and the next day it was more than ten shades darker.
It's only in the last few days that my skin has started to lighten a little bit again.
She had originally intended to give up planting trees.
But now...
It seemed that she had no other choice but to rely on the old sage's wishes.
She bit her lip and walked out resolutely.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, he met Old Mrs. Li's stern gaze. "Where else do you think you're going?"
"Grandma, I..." Li Wanjun was a little intimidated by the old lady and her speech was somewhat incoherent. When her eyes flickered, she saw the Buddhist prayer beads that the old lady was fiddling with.
I remembered that the old lady had always been a Buddhist.
She quickly and respectfully said, "Grandma, I plan to go out and plant trees. When my mother and I went to the temple to pray for you, Grandpa, and Dad, we made a vow to the Bodhisattva that we would plant a thousand trees."
Grandma Li frowned. "Since you made a vow to the Bodhisattva, you have to keep it. Where do you want to plant trees? I'll have Xiao Luo take you there."
“Thank you, Grandma. It’s on a deserted mountain in the suburbs,” Li Wanjun replied.
Xiao Luo was Old Mrs. Li's driver, as Li Wanjun knew very well. Old Mrs. Li asked Xiao Luo to go with her not only to drop her off, but also to keep an eye on her.
The reason was to prevent her from going to Qin Huan's brother again, for fear of bringing shame to the Li family.
With her eyes closed, Old Mrs. Li said while fiddling with her prayer beads, "I met with Old Mrs. Chen a couple of days ago and told her about your marriage to the only son of the Chen family. The old lady was quite satisfied with you."
After you finish planting the trees this time, don't run around anymore.
"Study hard these past few years, and use your spare time to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I've also enrolled you in a traditional women's virtue class; go and learn how to be a good matriarch of a large family!"
Li Wanjun lowered her head, grinding her teeth in resentment. She would never marry that pig-headed man from the Chen family, never!
The man she wants to marry is Brother Qin Huan; only Brother Qin Huan is worthy of her!
But she didn't dare say that to Grandma Li, and could only respectfully say, "Grandma, I understand."
——
Little Ruanruan directed her three older brothers, Xiao Qingzai, Kang Kang, and Lu Lu, to pull the cooked fish out of the fire.
They had already eaten dry bread twice in a row, once in the morning and once at noon. At this moment, not only them, but even the crew members couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of grilled fish.
Little Ruanruan invited her older brothers and sisters, instructors, and Teacher Bell to eat grilled fish.
But they left Director Xing and the production team standing by.
Director Xing and the photographers were drooling as they filmed, wondering why Xiao Ruanruan was always so polite. Like last night when they were eating seafood, even though there wasn't much left, Xiao Ruanruan still made sure to share some with them.
With so many fish today, how could Little Softie have overlooked them?
Little Ruanruan was picking out the bones from a fish by herself, but as soon as she sat down with her legs crossed, before she even started eating, a piece of fish meat that had already been picked clean was put into her leaf bowl.
She looked up and saw Gu Chen carefully picking out the fish bones, then handing her the cleaned fish meat.
"Thank you, Instructor Chen," she said with a smile.
Another piece of fish was placed into her bowl.
Turning around, I saw Lu Wei also intently picking out fish bones.
"Thank you, Lu Lu."
Lu Wei looked up and gave her a bright smile, "Little Ruanruan, you don't need to be so polite with me. I'm Little Ruanruan's childhood sweetheart, so of course I should take care of Little Ruanruan!"
【Huh? Child husband? Lu Lu is my daughter's child husband, is that true?】
"No way, it's probably just kids playing house!"
