Li Yuan knew his son was holding back, so he didn't say anything more.
"It's the two of you who will be living together. Even though you're busy with work, you still need to take good care of An'an and Yuanyuan."
After considering it for a moment, he continued, "If I really don't have time, I'll send it home and have my family take care of it."
If the two children weren't around, Li Hanting could almost imagine Su Jingjing's unhappiness.
He always had a feeling that children were the best bridge to keep Jingjing in check.
"Dad, no need. The two children get along very well with Jingjing."
Li Yuan could hear the protectiveness his son showed towards his second daughter-in-law in his words; the boy must be truly in love.
The old woman thought Han Ting would be cold-faced for the rest of his life, but look, the brat has suddenly become clever.
Downstairs living room
The four women stared at each other, and the originally harmonious scene froze.
The little one, with his bright, dark eyes, looked around at the adults, then suddenly struggled in his aunt's arms.
"Auntie, I want to get down."
Li Yuehuan thought her niece wanted to get down and play, so she simply picked her up and put her down.
Unexpectedly, the little guy ran up to Su Jingjing's side.
She was stunned.
"Mommy, hug me."
Su Jingjing softly said "Hey," then embraced the little one's soft body and pulled her onto her lap.
This scene shocked the three people present. They looked at each other in bewilderment and wondered when the relationship between the mother and daughter had become so good.
Ouyang Qian then noticed Yuanyuan's dress and saw that it was quite expensive. At first, she thought her mother-in-law had bought it, but now it seemed that her sister-in-law had bought it.
He asked casually, "Yuanyuan, your dress is so pretty, who bought it for you?"
Li Yuanyuan lifted her head from her mother's arms and looked at her aunt, saying in a childish voice, "Auntie, this is what Mom bought, and my brother has some too."
Li Yuehuan absolutely refused to believe that her stingy second sister-in-law would be so generous; Yuanyuan's dress cost at least ten yuan.
"Yuanyuan, are you sure your mom bought this?"
Could it be that Second Sister-in-law deliberately made Yuanyuan lie in front of them?
Seeing that her aunt didn't believe her, Li Yuanyuan blushed slightly, grabbed her mother's collar, and retorted loudly, "It was Mom who bought it. Aunt, if you don't believe me, you can ask my brother."
She gave a soft snort and put on an angry little face, "Auntie doesn't believe Yuanyuan, I'm not playing with Auntie anymore."
After saying that, she turned and buried her face in her mother's arms, seeking comfort, murmuring, "Mom."
Li Yuehuan was at a loss. Had she angered Yuanyuan?
Oh dear, how foolish! Knowing how important Second Sister-in-law is to Yuanyuan, she still went and questioned her. She never learns her lesson!
Helpless, she secretly nudged her mother's arm, indicating how she should comfort Yuanyuan.
Chen Shufang shook her head, indicating that she was also powerless to help.
Although she and Su Jingjing didn't get along, she never argued with Su Jingjing in front of Yuanyuan, for fear that the little one wouldn't like her as her grandmother.
Seeing her sister-in-law's anxious expression, Su Jingjing patted her daughter's back and said softly, "Yuanyuan, your aunt is just joking with you."
The little one remained unmoved, so she continued to persuade her, "Auntie often brings you food and plays with you. How can you bear to ignore Auntie?"
At this moment, the little one in her arms slowly raised her head, and with her mother's encouragement, turned her head to meet her aunt's eyes.
Hi, Yuanyuan.
After her aunt greeted her warmly, Li Yuanyuan finally broke down and slipped to her aunt's side, gazing at her expectantly.
"Auntie, Yuanyuan isn't angry. Will you still play with Yuanyuan from now on?"
Her aunt was not only a relative, but also a friend; her aunt was the best.
"Pop"
Li Yuehuan couldn't resist and pressed hard on the little one's face, then gently pinched her little ear.
“Auntie likes Yuanyuan the most, how could she not play with Yuanyuan?”
"whee."
The aunt and niece became close again.
Li Yuehuan inadvertently met her second sister-in-law's eyes, and her smile instantly froze, as if her second sister-in-law had just spoken up for her.
"Um... thank you."
Regardless of what happened before, her second sister-in-law helped her, so she should thank her. This was the lesson the Li family taught her: to be grateful and repay kindness.
Su Jingjing smiled and shook her head. It seemed that her sister-in-law was a good person, just a little spoiled.
She doted on Yuanyuan the most. As Yuanyuan grew up, she became withdrawn and only occasionally listened to Li Yuehuan.
Ouyang Qian suddenly remembered that she had bought gifts for her two children.
"An'an, Yuanyuan, these are gifts your aunt bought for you. Do you like them?"
Yuanyuan's gift was a rabbit doll, while An'an's gift was a book.
She knew that An'an liked to read, and seemed to be more interested in science books.
Han Chen said that An An's future achievements will only be greater.
The little one's eyes sparkled. "Wow, it's so beautiful! Thank you, Auntie!"
Compared to his younger sister's liveliness, Li Cheng'an appeared more composed. "Auntie, thank you, I like it very much."
"You are welcome."
Ouyang Qian affectionately patted the two children's heads, a happy smile spreading across her face.
But I can't help feeling sad; how wonderful it would be if she also had a child.
To avoid revealing her true feelings, she quickly composed herself and smiled at her sister-in-law, saying, "Jingjing, your sister-in-law also bought you a set of skincare products. Applying them morning and night will make your skin more moisturized. Do you like them?"
She asked a friend to buy this abroad; her mother-in-law and Huanhuan also have a set.
Although the price wasn't cheap, her mother-in-law and Huanhuan had always treated her well, so she took them into consideration when she bought it.
Of course, the younger siblings can't be left out, otherwise the other party will cause a huge uproar when they find out the truth.
Su Jingjing was surprised to find herself in a position to receive skincare products; she had been worried about how to buy them.
The original owner's face was indeed a bit rough and needed careful care.
"For me?"
Ouyang Qian nodded, "Yes, Mom and Huanhuan have them too."
"Then tell me how much it costs, and I'll transfer the money to you."
Hopefully, it won't exceed the amount of money in her pocket, otherwise she'll have to borrow from Li Hanting.
Chen Shufang couldn't stand the family being so distant. "Qianqian gave it to you, so just take it. What's the point of talking about money?"
Ouyang Qian smiled and said, "Yes, Mom is right. We're family, so we don't need to talk like strangers."
Su Jingjing smiled gratefully at Ouyang Qian. Her sister-in-law was truly magnanimous; no wonder her brother loved her so much.
However, her ending in the book was not happy; she was unable to have a child her whole life, and became increasingly depressed.
I hope she can have her own child in this lifetime.
In some powerful and influential families, infighting is inevitable, but the Li family is always united. Even Li's mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart and no ill intentions.
Since her second daughter-in-law was behaving so well today, Chen Shufang was willing to believe her son's explanation.
As long as Su Jingjing changes, she won't hold it against the other party too much, lest outsiders laugh at her.
He glanced at Su Jingjing and asked casually, "I heard you've been on a diet lately, is that right?"
