He stood up and said in a natural tone, "I'll take you back."

"Where's the driver?" Su Xi asked.

Ling Jiuze had already walked to the entrance. When he heard her ask, he paused and turned around to explain, "I happened to be on the way."

Su Xi smiled slightly, "Thank you!"

As the car drove away from Ling's house, Ling Jiuze asked quietly, "Are you still used to living here?"

"Well, very good." Su Xi nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "I want to change the white sheets for the side sleeper to another color, is that okay?"

Ling Jiuze said, "Of course, that house belongs to you completely when you live in it. You can decorate it however you want."

Su Xi thanked her and said, "We can share the part-time workers' money equally."

After she moved in, she learned that every other day, the hourly worker would clean the house on time at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ling Jiuze's voice was gentle, "No, even if you don't live here, I still have to hire part-time workers. This is included in the benefits of renting a house."

Su Xi raised her eyebrows and felt that she had made money again!

Ling Jiuze was indeed on his way, left her in the imperial court, and drove away without any intention of going up.

Su Xi went home and ordered several sets of bedding online. Then she looked around and added a sofa chair and a bookshelf that were the same as those in the villa.

Su Xi spent most of the afternoon practicing cooking skills.

The week passed quickly.

This Saturday is the 80th birthday of the old lady of the Fang family. Su Xi went to the Ling family in advance, planning to go there after giving Ling Yihang a lesson.

The Fang family held a banquet in the three-story villa in the Fuhai Road villa area. At nine o'clock, luxury cars gathered in the parking lot of the villa, and the front hall was already full of people.

In order to make the guests happy, the second floor of the villa is decorated as a birthday banquet hall, where birthday wishes go to the second floor to visit the old lady; the first floor is decorated as a Western-style banquet that young people like, where they can dance and have fun.

The Su family also received an invitation. Chen Yuan brought Su Tong with her, wearing the entire set of jewelry that Su Tong gave her on her previous birthday.

She first took Su Tong to the second floor to pay her birthday to Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang was already eighty, with gray hair and good energy. She was full of praise when she saw Su Tong.

Several sons and daughters-in-law of the Fang family were also there. Their eyes were on Su Tong. Compared with the ladies who came just now, which one is better to be his daughter-in-law?

With a modest smile on her face, Chen Yuan held Su Tong's hand and said with a smile, "My Tongtong is really up to par. She has been top-notch in everything since elementary school. Her paintings will be included in the art exhibition at the art museum next month.

Painting, the old lady can go and take a look at it then."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family asked, "Which teacher does Tongtong follow?"

Chen Yuan said proudly, "Teacher Li Zheng!"

There were compliments all around,

"so smart!"

"Teacher Li is the proud disciple of Mr. Qin, the master of traditional Chinese painting!"

"Miss Su has a bright future!"

Chen Yuan became more and more proud, and Su Tong smiled modestly, was gentle and courteous, and looked like a noble lady.

After joking for a while, more and more people came to pay their respects. Chen Yuan took Su Tong to the group of ladies next to her, and let them get to know Su Tong.

No matter where Chen Yuan and Su Tong went, within a moment, they were all praised by Yishui.

Mrs. Zhang, who was usually not on friendly terms with Chen Yuan, couldn't stand it and sneered, "Those who knew it was Madam Fang's birthday party, but those who didn't know thought it was her daughter's celebration party!"

Mrs. Wang next to her kept staring at the eye-catching diamond necklace on Chen Yuan's neck, "That was one of the spring models promoted by gk two months ago. I have always liked it, but later I didn't see it in his store. It turned out to be...

Mrs. Su bought it."

She rolled her eyes and dragged Mrs. Zhang towards the circle of wives where Chen Yuan was.

Everyone was praising Su Tong, and Mrs. Wang followed suit a few times before turning the topic to the necklace, "Is the necklace Mrs. Su is wearing a new model from gk?"

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Chen Yuan's neck and suddenly showed shocked expressions.

Chen Yuan became more and more proud. She stroked the curly hair beside her ear and said calmly, "Yes, it's a set of earrings. It was my birthday last month, and Tongtong gave me a birthday gift."
