Ding Huizhu explained the matter to Xie Zi'an.
Then he asked Aunt Wan to bring out a set of jewelry, saying, "These are what I bought for Xie Li, so she can wear them."
Xie Zian glanced down at the platinum and diamond jewelry set. It was a classic design from Kiehl's, but also a very common one.
The natural black pearl necklace Xie Ziyuan was wearing today was indeed a high-end collector's item from K brand, priced at tens of millions of yuan, more than ten times more expensive than that platinum jewelry set.
Ding Huizhu, however, spoke in a condescending tone: "Your grandfather was always sick before, so he certainly didn't think of preparing these things for Xie Li."
"Tell her that as long as she behaves well and doesn't cause trouble today, she'll get her share of jewelry like this in the future."
She genuinely believed that giving away this set of jewelry today was a timely act of kindness, and that Xie Li would surely be moved.
Moreover, Xie Li needed to come here and witness firsthand what a real high-society banquet was like before she realized how ignorant and naive she had been.
Only after witnessing this prosperity and understanding the importance of face and shame could Xie Li restrain himself and obediently follow orders.
The reason Xie Li was so lawless before was ultimately because he was too ignorant and didn't know that there were always people more capable than himself.
After a pause, noticing that Xie Zi'an's expression was a little off, Ding Huizhu frowned, "What's wrong?"
Xie Zian shook his head. "No."
He took the jewelry and the love potion, turned and left without saying goodbye as politely as usual.
Ding Huizhu complained, "What's wrong with this child today? He always seems so absent-minded."
Xie Ziyuan knew why, of course, but she wouldn't take the initiative to befriend Xie Zi'an at this time. She would wait until he had been neglected enough before he would become anxious and dare not upset her again.

When Xie Zian arrived at the Whale Hotel, he also saw the huge LED screen in the square.
He paused for a few seconds, slowly exhaled, and then turned to enter the hotel.
"Zi'an!" Huo Yuntang strode over. "Why are you here?"
The entrance to the Baijing Hotel was bustling with activity today, with luxury cars constantly driving in, so it took him twenty minutes to finally park his car on the parking island.
He saw Xie Zi'an as soon as he got out of the car, and was a little surprised, but quickly realized, "Did Ziyuan send you?"
Xie Ziyuan is always meticulous in her work. She certainly didn't want Xie Li and Old Master Xie to feel awkward on such an occasion, so she specially sent Xie Zian to pick them up.
Xie Zian did not answer, but instead glanced at the Bentley on the parking island, the license plate number of which seemed vaguely familiar.
Huo Yuntang also noticed it, especially when he saw the middle-aged man getting out of the car, he was immediately stunned.
That guy is the second-in-command in the city. He also comes from a powerful family and is an upright person who can't tolerate any wrongdoing. He's the kind of person that even the Huo family can't get his way with.
He subconsciously took a few steps forward, but the woman walked as if she were riding on wheels of fire, striding into the hotel entrance without giving him a chance to approach her.
Huo Yuntang felt somewhat unsettled and couldn't help but ask the doormen on either side, "Is the Yun family hosting a banquet at the Whale Hotel today?"
The Yun family has always kept a low profile. Even when they hold a banquet, they only invite a small number of relatives and friends, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out.
If it were truly a joyous occasion for the Yun family, and he happened to be there, he would have to shamelessly prepare gifts and send them over no matter what.
The doorman paused for a moment, then said, "No, actually all of our hotel's banquet halls are booked out today..."
