The two ladies had a very happy chat. Li Jiawen was studying abroad in Country Y, majoring in fashion design, so the two had more topics to talk about.
Looking at the two women chatting happily, Yan Xiheng smiled and didn't interrupt and went to play with his niece.
He likes his niece the most, and because he likes children, he thinks marriage is a good idea. He also wants a daughter like his niece.
Both he and Li Jiawen were good-looking, and he imagined that if they got married, their children would probably be similar in appearance.
His family has been urging him to get married. Maybe this time when he goes back, the two families can discuss the wedding between him and Li Jiawen.
Li Jiawen and Ye Shuning chatted happily, and often Ye Shuning's words made her feel like she had suddenly realized something. In particular, Ye Shuning seemed to have a deep understanding of foreign fashion trends, which made Li Jiawen, who was studying fashion design, feel like she had found a kindred spirit.
Moreover, Li Jiawen felt that Ye Shuning had an attraction that made people want to get close to her. Anyway, Li Jiawen fell in love with this little cousin of Yan Xiheng the first time they met.
Through chatting, and with the help of Yan Xiheng, the two felt a lot closer.
At noon, Yan Xiheng and Li Jiawen were left at Ye Shuning's house to have lunch before going back.
Li Jiawen lived in Yan Xiheng's villa, and was a neighbor of Ye Shuning's. When Yan Xiheng was busy with work, Li Jiawen would often go to Ye Shuning's house to play with the children. If Ye Shuning was home, she would chat with her. The two shared many similar interests and got along very well, and their relationship blossomed.
Li Jiawen also regarded Ye Shuning as a good friend with whom she could talk about anything.
That day, Yan Xiheng was busy at work, and Li Jiawen came to Ye Shuning's house again. Ye Shuning happened to be at home too. The two of them brewed a pot of black tea, took some snacks, and sat in the yard to drink tea and chat.
Li Jiawen felt a little upset when she thought about the attitude of Yan Xiheng's two cousins towards her.
She looked at Ye Shuning and asked, "Xiao Ning, do you have much contact with Brother Yan's two cousins? They don't seem to like me. I want to ask you what they like so that I can bring them some gifts they like when I go back and improve our relationship."
As soon as Ye Shuning heard it, she knew that Yan Xiyao and Yan Xiling were bullying Li Jiawen.
She asked, "Did they bully you? Did they mock you?"
Girls are always easy to open up to each other. Li Jiawen now regards Ye Shuning as a good friend. She unconsciously wants to talk to Ye Shuning and get some advice from her.
She said with some annoyance: "My family's family background is a little worse than Yan's. If I can marry your cousin, it will be considered as marrying up. Brother Yan's two cousins said that I am not worthy of their cousin, and said that their family will find a better marriage partner for Brother Yan. They also said that the eldest daughter of the Liu family is better than me.
But I don’t think Brother Yan dislikes me, and Aunt Yan and Grandma Yan also like me very much. I think it may be because Brother Yan’s two cousins don’t like me.”
Ye Shuning could imagine the expressions of Yan Xiyao and Yan Xiling. She curled her lips and said, "Just ignore what they said and don't take it to heart."
Li Jiawen didn't expect Ye Shuning to say that. She burst out laughing and said, "Why, didn't they mock you too?"
Ye Shuning shrugged and said, "Those two seem to have their eyes wide open, looking down on everyone. Little do they know that without the Yan family's support, they'd be nothing. They always think they're so great, but in reality, they're just two empty-headed people.
When my great aunts wanted to recognize me, they told me not to dream of marrying into the Yan family, as if they were the ones who controlled the Yan family.
Don't worry about them. Just pretend you didn't hear anything they said. They will get married sooner or later. When you marry your eldest cousin, you will be the mistress of the Yan family. There's no need to bother with them.
Besides, they are just my cousins, not my biological sisters, and he doesn't like them. They are both not young anymore, why haven't they gotten married yet? I haven't asked about them in the past two years."
Li Jiawen seemed to have found an ally. Pulling Ye Shuning aside, she said, "You don't know, but Big Brother Yan's aunt introduced many talented young men from prominent families to her two daughters, but in the end, nothing worked out. Now the mother and daughter from the second house are all very worried. After all, Yan Xiyao and Yan Xiling are not young anymore."
Ye Shuning's eyes twinkled as she asked gossipingly, "Are they too picky?"
Li Jiawen whispered into Ye Shuning's ear, "Nowadays, people in the circle are saying that they are looking for partners just like Qin Zongye.
And now that Qin Zongye hasn't married yet, they seem to still be thinking about him. So they've been stuck between high and low. It's said that the guys they've dated couldn't stand their arrogance and ignorance and broke up. They don't seem to have a good reputation in Nangang anymore."
Ye Shuning curled her lips and shook her head, saying, "How could Second Brother Qin possibly be interested in people like them? People really need to know themselves better. They have no knowledge, no ability, so how can they attract outstanding boys? If they continue to be so picky, they'll be left at home in the future."
Li Jiawen said somewhat depressedly, "If they don't get married and stay at home, then I'll be in trouble. I'll have to look at their faces every day. After a few interactions, I know they are difficult to get along with."
Ye Shuning patted Li Jiawen's hand and said, "If you marry your cousin, you will be their sister-in-law. Why would you care about their faces? Besides, your cousin will often stay in the mainland in the future. You can follow your cousin to the mainland and avoid them. You two can still live your own world."
By the way, you studied fashion design, where do you work now?"
Li Jiawen said: "After I graduated and returned to China, I found a clothing company to work as a designer."
Ye Shuning was immediately interested in Li Jiawen's work. Li Jiawen had studied fashion design abroad, and through chatting with her, she felt that she had a good grasp of fashion trends and had her own unique style. Wouldn't it be great if she could recruit her to work as a designer at their clothing factory?
In this way, she and her cousin will both have careers in the mainland, and they can work hard together in the mainland.
However, she did not express this idea immediately. She had to discuss it with her cousin first to see what he thought.
If the cousin decided to marry the girl, then they would be family and many things would be much easier. If the cousin didn't marry the girl in the end, she was afraid that the girl would not be able to stay there by herself.
