"Okay, Mommy will try on the jewelry that my little darling designed for me!"
Lin Zhengzhong put the necklace on her, and Lin Chenxuan put the bracelet on her.
"Oh my god! Mom, you look so elegant wearing the jewelry my sister gave you!"
Lin Chenxuan looked on with envy, her eyes fixed on the view.
"Really? Let Mom see."
Yang Mei opened her phone's front camera and looked at it. It really looked very expensive! It was adorned with jewels and made her complexion look great!
"Beautiful! My daughter is so talented at jewelry design!"
Lin Zhengzhong admired his wife wearing the jewelry. It was so much better than the jewelry he usually bought for Yang Mei. He felt that all other jewelry paled in comparison to this set of gold and emeralds.
"My little sister is amazing! I'm so impressed!"
Lin Ziye praised her younger sister in the same tone she used when they were children.
"Hehe, this set is for my older sister. Although it's not as expensive as Mom's set, it suits your age and temperament perfectly. You'll look absolutely stunning in it!"
Yan Xiluo saw the envious look in Lin Chenxuan's eyes and knew that she couldn't wait any longer.
Yan Xiluo prepared a haute couture opal set for her, which was quite suitable for her age.
Wow! This one looks so good too!
Lin Chenxuan had never seen so many beautiful pieces of jewelry in her life, and she couldn't help but marvel. She covered her mouth with both hands, looking overjoyed.
Do you like it?
Yan Xiluo was quite happy to see her surprised expression.
Lin Chenxuan didn't speak, but nodded excitedly and frantically.
"Luo Luo, you're so good to me, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than the Bai family."
The suffering she had endured in the Bai family flashed through her mind, and she remembered how her stepmother had bullied her.
Her parents, who had raised her for eighteen years, were not as good as a younger sister she had just met and who was not related to her by blood.
She used to long for her family to treat her better, even if it wasn't love, just like a normal person.
Lin Chenxuan choked up, tears welling up instantly; she was filled with emotion.
“This is what I owe you, sister. Mom and Dad raised me like their own daughter for eighteen years, while you suffered in the Bai family for eighteen years. I should treat you well, sister, don’t cry.”
Yan Xiluo wiped away her tears. Yes, she felt she owed her, having enjoyed her parents' love for eighteen years.
"Luo Luo, your family background is even better than the Lin family's, how could you owe me anything? It's just that fate is playing tricks on us."
Lin Chenxuan didn't complain, but felt a little sad, as she recalled painful memories. She only experienced this kind of warmth after returning to the Lin family.
“Your sister is right! If anyone owes anything, it’s your parents. One of you suffered for eighteen years, and the other of you could have had a better family background and lived a better life.”
Yang Mei's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. The thought of her own daughter being stranded and suffering for so many years filled her with immense pain.
After learning about Yan Xiluo's background, she felt that she hadn't received enough over the years, and that it could never compare to what the Yan family had given her.
It really can only be described as fate, but thankfully everything is back to normal now.
She felt it was a blessing that they had another daughter.
"Mom, how could you owe me anything? You've been so good to me. I'm so lucky to have grown up in such a loving family."
Yan Xiluo felt heartbroken upon hearing this; she had no idea that Yang Mei would think this way.
"Mom, it's all fate's fault, it's all destiny."
Lin Chenxuan seemed to have figured something out, but her expression was still somewhat distressed.
"Alright, let's stop arguing about who owes whom. We should be happy that Luo Luo brought her fiancé home today, so let's not bring up those things again."
Lin Zhengzhong patted Yang Mei's back, signaling her to stop thinking about these unhappy things.
Lan Jingyan gently patted Yan Xiluo's shoulder to comfort her.
"Okay, sister, let me help you try it on!"
Yan Xiluo immediately picked up the opal necklace and put it on her.
Wow, this looks so good! Thank you, Luo Luo!
Lin Chenxuan opened the front camera of her phone and saw the opal pendant hanging on her collarbone and the earrings on her ears, both of which were perfect.
Unfortunately, Lin Chenxuan suffered hardships from a young age, resulting in poor skin and a tanned complexion. Therefore, she may need to wear makeup to better match this jewelry set.
Although she had a good foundation, she couldn't withstand the wind and rain since childhood and had never done any skincare.
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Chenxuan's skin gradually improved.
"Sisters don't need to say thank you; as long as the older sister is happy, that's enough."
Yan Xiluo felt very happy, as if everything was developing in a positive direction.
Yan Xiluo chatted with her family in the living room.
Lan Jingyan, however, was called to the balcony by Lin Ziye.
"Ayan, are you truly sincere towards my sister?"
He didn't see anything wrong with his words and actions, but he was Lan Jingyan, who was second only to the emperor!
How many people like him? Many people pursue him. He's afraid his feelings for Yan Xiluo aren't genuine.
After all, he's rich, powerful, and good-looking.
"That's for sure. I'm the kind of person who would never joke about feelings. I don't have that much time or energy to pretend."
Lan Jingyan was telling the truth; he had remained unmoved by Yan Yinran's advances and pursuit over the years.
Before Yan Xiluo came into his life, he wouldn't have had time to spend with her every day like he does now, and he would work overtime so that he could have time to be with her.
"I hope you're sincere. There's one more question."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes deepening.
Lin Ziye still wanted to ask about the project.
"you say."
Lan Jingyan had already guessed about 70-80% of what he was going to ask.
"Did the Lan Group give the Lin Group the project because of Luo Luo, or is it because the Lin Group has the capability to cooperate with you?"
He wouldn't feel at ease doing his job without asking clearly.
"The main reason is that your Lin Group has potential and the ability to do it well, which we have investigated. Of course, I only started paying attention to your group because of Luo Luo. You don't need to feel pressured or burdened. The board of directors approved it unanimously, and I don't have much personal motive."
Lan Jingyan paused, pursed her lips, and then continued.
"Besides, I'm a businessman. I can't let hundreds of millions of the company go down the drain for my own personal gain, let alone drag the whole group down with me. Don't you think so?"
Lan Jingyan looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"If that's the answer, I can rest assured. I knew I was right about you; I love how you separate public and private matters. Treat Luo Luo well."
After saying that, the two shook hands amicably and then walked back to the living room together with their arms around each other's shoulders.
