Li Shuwen once again marveled at how well the Lin family had raised Yan Xiluo!
"Hehe, Mom, why don't you try it on? Let me put it on for you."
Yan Xiluo picked up the necklace and put it on Li Shuwen, then fastened the bracelet as well. Li Shuwen put on the rest herself.
"My darling daughter, can you take some pretty photos for me later? Mommy wants to post them on WeChat Moments."
Li Shuwen doesn't usually like to post on social media or flaunt her wealth, but when she saw the jewelry that Yan Xiluo specially designed for her, she wanted to show off how wonderful and thoughtful her precious daughter is.
"good."
Yan Xiluo tidied her hair and clothes, and then started taking pictures of her.
After a while, we finally finished taking most of the photos.
"Mom, are you satisfied with this? I'm not very good at taking pictures."
If there's anything Yan Xiluo isn't good at, it's taking photos. She's not bad at taking bad photos, but she's not particularly amazing either.
Fortunately, Lai Suk-man's looks are stunning from every angle.
"Yes, the photos are great, Mommy loves them. Thank you, my darling daughter."
Li Shuwen flipped through her phone's photo album, looking at each picture and nodding in satisfaction.
She immediately posted it on her WeChat Moments, without even editing the photo.
The nine-grid layout features a photo of the entire jewelry set in the center, while the others are photos of Li Shuwen wearing the jewelry.
Attached are photos of the jewelry my darling daughter gave me, and beautiful photos she took of me. Thank you, my darling daughter! Mwah!
Soon, the wealthy women in her WeChat Moments all liked and commented on her posts.
"Wenwen is so lucky, and Ranran is so well-behaved and sensible!"
"Wenwen, where did Ranran buy you these jewelry pieces? Sapphires of this caliber aren't cheap!"
"Wow! This must be Jinxi Jewelry's prized possession! Wenwen, how did Ranran manage to get it for you? It hasn't even been released yet!"
Keen-eyed people noticed the unique pendant tag on the bracelet, a hallmark of Jinxi Jewelry.
"I'm so envious of Wenwen. Her husband is handsome and successful, her five sons are all talented, and her daughter is such a great dancer, getting into the best dance academy in City A. The best part is that her daughter is so thoughtful and considerate. Giving her such high-end jewelry must have taken a lot of thought, right? Ranran must have saved up some pocket money for you."
The wealthy women in the comments section all assumed that Yan Yinran was the one who gifted Li Shuwen the sapphire jewelry.
Li Shuwen was definitely unhappy to see this. Instead of replying to each comment individually, she wrote another comment herself, so that everyone who liked and commented on her post could see it.
Haha, first of all, thank you everyone for the compliments! However, I want to clarify one thing: the person who gave me the sapphire jewelry is my biological daughter, Yan Xiluo. Yan Yinran is currently our adopted daughter, but we still treat her the same way. Invitations will be sent to everyone for my precious daughter's family reunion; please keep it a secret until it's officially announced!
After that one sentence, no one left the comments section to greet Li Shuwen. Instead, they sent her private messages to congratulate and wish her well.
Li Shuwen would always ask them to keep it a secret, because if it were leaked, there would be no surprise. She wanted the family reunion to be a grand and formal occasion!
"My darling daughter, the soup is ready. Shall we put it away?"
Li Shuwen put down her phone, got up, and went into the kitchen.
"good."
Yan Xiluo took the clean insulated lunchbox she brought back yesterday out of the sterilizer.
"Oh dear, my darling daughter, are your two friends sick? Or what?"
Li Shuwen looked at the two insulated lunch boxes, one pink and one blue. They were quite large, with several compartments inside, each big enough to hold three dishes and a soup. One person probably wouldn't need two, right?
“A friend of mine is sick, but her boyfriend is taking care of her, so he helped out as well.”
She couldn't think of a better reason. She couldn't very well say that Yan Yuze was also hospitalized, could she?
Yan Yuze had repeatedly told her not to tell her parents.
"Oh, then I should bring two portions, hehe."
She understood this. She and Yan Xiluo packed the food, three dishes and a soup, closed the insulated containers, and put them into insulated bags.
"Ayan, have you arrived? Come in and have some food."
Yan Xiluo sent a message to Lan Jingyan.
"Okay, I just parked the car."
Lan Jingyan smiled when she saw the message.
Yan Xiluo had already informed Li Shuwen that Lan Jingyan would pick her up today and they would have lunch together before she left.
"Auntie, Luo Luo."
Lan Jingyan even brought some gifts this time, as he felt embarrassed to come empty-handed.
"Jingyan, come over for a meal, why did you bring a gift?"
Li Shuwen felt that Lan Jingyan was being too formal. They were all family, and she was just coming over for a meal. Why did she have to bring a gift? It wasn't like it was a holiday.
"Hehe, of course."
He didn't know what to say. He hadn't brought anything with him when he came last time, and when he was suddenly invited to the Li family's house, he hadn't brought any gifts either.
He felt that he was far too impolite compared to Yan Xiluo, and he would make up for it next time, so that they could feel how much he valued Yan Xiluo.
"Come on, sit down. It's just the three of us eating lunch today. Your uncle went to the company today. Luo Luo and the others don't come back for lunch. Ran Ran has been busy with competitions and taking private lessons lately."
Li Shuwen sighed, her tone growing increasingly dejected as she spoke…
Even though there are quite a few people in her family, if Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan aren't around, she'll be eating lunch all by herself...
"Mom, I'll come back whenever I have time so we can have a meal together, okay?"
Yan Xiluo noticed Li Shuwen's disappointment and loneliness.
Although Yan Youting rarely manages company affairs anymore, there are still times when he needs to step in and resolve certain issues.
Usually, it's just the two of them at home, while their daughter goes out to play. Sometimes Li Shuwen goes shopping with her girlfriends, and Yan Youting plays ball with his friends.
But she still feels happier when she's with her family.
"Great, that's wonderful! Mom couldn't be happier. Ah Yan, please come visit us more often!"
Li Shuwen immediately became lively again.
"Okay, Auntie."
Lan Jingyan picked up a bowl and spoon and served soup to Yan Xiluo and Li Shuwen.
"Ayan, Mom and I made this meal together today. Why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
She was really looking forward to receiving Lan Jingyan's evaluation and praise; she had only ever made barbecue for him before.
This is the first time I've had proper dishes.
"Mmm! It's delicious! Auntie's cooking is still so good! Luo Luo's cooking is also quite good! They each have their own merits!"
Because of her relationship with Yan Yuze, Lan Jingyan used to visit the Yan family quite often and eat a lot of meals there.
Back then, Li Shuwen would often cook when she was in a good mood.
It was the first time he had eaten Yan Xiluo's cooking, and it tasted very good. It was number one in his heart.
"Jingyan still remembers the dishes your aunt made? Hehe, if you like them, eat more."
She hadn't cooked in so long that she was surprised he could still tell which dish she made.
