Zhou family.
Zhou Man was holding a crown studded with diamonds, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her two brothers. "Brother, do you think Yanzi would like this crown I designed for her?"
During this time, Zhou Man felt her uncle and his family were being cold towards her, so she considered making an effort to attract her cousin, Wen Yanshan. To this end, she personally designed a crown, had a designer polish it, and then found a renowned craftsman to handcraft it. The crown was worth at least five million yuan, a priceless gift only a pampered, wealthy young lady like Zhou Man could afford without regret.
Zhou Yuntang nodded. "Manman has a talent for design. Do you plan to be a jewelry designer in the future?"
Zhou Man pursed her lips and smiled, "I do have this idea, but I'm afraid others will laugh at me."
Zhou Liuan, the second young master of the Zhou family, said, "Come on, Manman. When you're good enough, I'll let the studio work with you."
Zhou Liu'an rarely found time to go home. A viral star with over 50 million followers on Weibo, he debuted in last year's talent show with his impressive talent and explosive stage presence, earning him a commanding lead. Unbeknownst to the entertainment industry, he was the second son of the wealthy Zhou family. Like Zhou Yuntang, he was a die-hard sister complex. He had heard Manman had been feeling down lately, so he'd canceled several of his plans to go home. He pulled out a CD and handed it to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man looked at the CD curiously, "Second brother, whose CD is this?"
Hey, the girl on the CD was wearing a veil, and her outline was vague. She was wearing an innocent white dress and lying among the lilies. She looked as holy and beautiful as an angel.
“Isn’t this the photo I took last year?”
Zhou Liuan looked at her lovingly, "This is my upcoming album, and it's called Manman."
Zhou Man felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey. "Second brother, you are so kind to me! Are you planning to disclose your family background?"
Before, my second brother had been in the entertainment industry under a pseudonym, known only to those within the wealthy circle. Because the Zhou family had given advance notice, no one in the wealthy circle had posted the news online.
Zhou Liu'an nodded slightly, his lips curled up slightly with a wicked allure, "Yes, I used to hide my identity because I wanted to make it in the industry on my own. Now that I've established myself, there's no need to do that."
Zhou Man couldn't help but smile brightly as she thought about how, once the album was released, everyone at school would know the renowned internet star Zhou Liu'an as the brother who doted on her the most. Most wealthy families favored sons over daughters, but theirs was different. She was the undisputed favorite!
But her good mood only lasted until Shi Miao showed up.
When Zhou Man saw Shi Miao, the smile on her face froze - why did her uncle and the others bring Shi Miao here? Today was their family gathering.
Shi Miao was wearing a custom-made cheongsam today. The sharply cut skirt highlighted her perfect figure. Her hair was simply tied up with a white jade hairpin inserted in it. Her skin was as white as snow and her temperament was outstanding. She looked like an aristocratic woman who had walked out of a painting. Zhou Man recognized that the hairpin belonged to her aunt. The cuffs of Shi Miao's cheongsam were embroidered with delicate tulip patterns, proving that this cheongsam was the work of the famous cheongsam master Pan Yang. Normally, it would take at least half a year to ask Pan Yang to make a custom-made cheongsam, and it also depended on his mood. Pan Yang was a friend of her aunt's sister-in-law, so it was obvious that the clothes Shi Miao wore today were made by that master through her aunt's backdoor.
First it was the second aunt, and now even the eldest aunt treats Shi Miao differently.
Zhou Yuntang's face darkened even more, and he started to criticize his two uncles, "Uncles, this is a family dinner, why did you bring irrelevant people here?"
Wen Chengzhou, the eldest uncle of the Wen family and the heir of the Wen family, was well-maintained and looked to be in his early thirties. He had an aura of authority without being angry. He glanced at Zhou Yuntang, and just one glance made Zhou Yuntang feel as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, and he subconsciously swallowed back more dissatisfied words.
This is the elder uncle who has the final say, not the younger uncle who has a good temper.
Wen Chengzhou said in a loud voice, "Shi Miao is a member of the Wen family that I recognize, not an irrelevant person. I have the final say in the Wen family. When will it be your turn as a junior to make the decision?"
Zhou Man said coquettishly: "Uncle, brother didn't mean that. He was just worried that you were deceived."
Wen Chengzhou didn't buy it. "Why? In your eyes, I'm the kind of person who can be easily deceived?"
Zhou Yuntang's biological mother Wen Ying glared at her son and said, "Stop talking. With your little experience, you want to show off in front of your uncle? Your uncle has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice." She didn't understand why her eldest son was so malicious towards Shi Miao?
Wen Ying still trusted the judgment of her two younger brothers and sister-in-law. Before, when she saw photos, she only thought Shi Miao looked like her mother when she was young. After meeting her in person, she felt an indescribable sense of closeness.
She couldn't help but walk in front of Shi Miao, subconsciously reaching out to touch her face. Just as her hand was about to touch Shi Miao, she realized that her behavior seemed a bit abrupt, so she retracted it. Wen Ying took off the bracelet and handed it to Shi Miao. "I didn't know you were coming today, and I didn't have time to prepare a suitable gift. This bracelet is for you." On the one hand, it was to apologize for her impolite son, and on the other hand, it was out of an inexplicable closeness.
Zhou Man looked at her mother in disbelief. Her mother had worn that bracelet for many years. It was said that it was given by her grandmother. Why did her mother give the bracelet to Shi Miao?
Wen Ying didn't notice her daughter's expression, but just looked at Shi Miao with gentle eyes.
Shi Miao did not refuse the gift, "Thank you, Auntie."
Wang Hui was heartbroken listening to this. This was Miaomiao's biological mother, yet she could only call her "Auntie." Once she found those nurses, she could reveal Miaomiao's life story to the public.
