Tang Li was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the two people would argue in the coffee shop.
The dispute was still over her design drawings.
I also want to thank Chu Jingyi for making her design fee increase so much out of nowhere.
"Miss Chu, I'll tailor a custom-made one for you next time."
Ding Weiwei's expression softened a little when she saw that a consensus had been reached and that her jewelry hadn't been stolen.
"Tang Li, I have no problem with this design. What I need now is for you to get these jewels made immediately so as not to delay my wedding!"
After saying this, she left the coffee shop with an arrogant air, carrying the latest Hermès bag.
She is no longer the Ding Weiwei she once was.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Chengyi casually gave her 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in pocket money. Now she can buy anything she likes, and even help her poor relatives buy houses.
Those who once looked down on her in her hometown now look at her with new respect.
Yesterday, Ding Weiwei went back to her hometown and met her parents. Seeing their daughter return home in glory, Ding's father and mother were overjoyed.
To show off how well she was doing, Ding Weiwei immediately took out 500,000 yuan and gave it to her younger brother so he could buy a new house in the county town.
"Sis, now that you've married into a wealthy family, we should at least buy a villa in the county town, why would we buy an apartment building!"
Ding Weiwei also had her own unspeakable difficulties.
Xu Lihua already looked down on her, a poor girl from the countryside. If she supported her family too much, it would surely displease Xu Lihua.
They haven't had a wedding yet; they just got their marriage certificate. Everything is still unstable, so Ding Weiwei has to be careful. Even if she needs to help her family, she has to do it secretly.
In the coffee shop, after watching Ding Weiwei leave, Chu Jingyi sat down opposite Tang Li with a puzzled look on her face.
She came here to see her guzheng teacher, but the teacher has passed away, and now she is all alone.
"I never expected you to be so talented; you can even design jewelry!"
Chu Jingyi looked at Tang Li with a light in her eyes.
"Now I understand why you didn't want to be my piano teacher. You can't earn that much even at 3,000 yuan a lesson. But I'm really impressed by your design talent."
Chu Jingyi praised Tang Li's design very generously, without holding back.
She looked at the design drawings carefully again, feeling envious.
"Tang Li, when you have time, please have one custom-made for me. I really love it!"
Tang Li felt a little shy at Chu Jingyi's enthusiastic praise.
She nodded. "No problem."
If Beijing's top socialite were to wear jewelry designed by her, the resulting buzz would be extraordinary.
Chu Jingyi glanced again in the direction Ding Weiwei had just left, "By the way, who was that just now? She looked so arrogant. I don't think I've ever seen her in Beijing."
She knew many socialites and noble ladies in Beijing, but rarely had she seen someone so ill-mannered, and she looked completely unfamiliar.
Tang Li remained calm and explained, "She is my ex-husband's fiancée."
Ex-husband's fiancée?
Chu Jingyi's eyes widened silently, her gossipy nature stirring within her. This was truly astonishing.
"Are you taking this order too? Aren't you afraid of causing yourself trouble?"
Besides, Tang Li already knows she's Lu Jianshen's girlfriend; she can get anything she wants just by being affectionate.
Why make yourself work so hard, designing jewelry for people you dislike?
Tang Li didn't care at all. She smiled and said, "Miss Chu, I've already let it go. If I don't care at all, then I won't mind."
Chu Jingyi held the delicate coffee cup in her hand and nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense."
"But I really didn't expect you to be so independent." Chu Jingyi smiled awkwardly.
Although she had a good impression of Tang Li from the beginning, the messy rumors outside more or less interfered with her.
With the Tang family in decline, it's hard not to suspect that Tang Li's relationship with Lu Jianshen at this time is an attempt to climb the social ladder.
But now Chu Jingyi feels that Tang Li is not that kind of person.
Ding Weiwei, on the other hand, who comes from the countryside, seems to only want to climb the social ladder.
As soon as Ding Weiwei got home and mentioned the two million yuan design fee, Xu Lihua's face immediately darkened.
"Do you think our family's money grows on trees? Chengyi hasn't been going to work lately, and we have to spend money on everything around the house. The daily expenses are tens of thousands. Not only do you not earn any money, but you're also quick to spend my son's money!"
Xu Lihua rolled her eyes and left without any politeness.
Ding Weiwei lowered her eyes cautiously, her large, watery eyes looking at her with a pitiful expression: "Mom..."
"Don't call me Mom, you haven't even had your formal wedding ceremony yet!" Xu Lihua rolled her eyes menacingly. "My son is really unlucky, he's married to a money-loser!"
"Find your own way to pay the two million design fee. Don't come to my son. Don't think I don't know how much Chengyi spent on you. He used my supplementary card. I know exactly where every penny went!"
What bad luck, running into a jinx.
If it weren't for her grandson, Xu Lihua would have thrown him out long ago.
Seeing that Xu Lihua was unhappy, Ding Weiwei put on makeup again, making herself look charming and pitiful.
Lu Chengyi was playing games in the e-sports room in the side room when she pushed the door open and went in.
“Cheng Yi…”
Ding Weiwei sat down on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What should I do? Did I anger Mom? I just wanted to stand up for you in front of Tang Li..."
