Chapter 265 Family Banquet (3)(1/2)
"Pattering..."
Toilet.
Li Shurui is washing her hands.
"sister."
Xue Yali walked in.
"Yali."
Li Shurui turned her head, smiled, then turned off the faucet, took out a paper towel, and wiped her hands.
Xue Yali stood there without moving.
Li Shurui saw the clues.
"Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time and I want to have a chat with you."
Times have changed.
Time is the most magical magician that can change everything in the world.
The same goes for family affection.
The two sisters grew up together. They were once very close and talked about everything. But now that they are reunited, there always seems to be something between them and they are a bit unfamiliar.
"You haven't been good at lying since you were a child. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Li Shurui threw the paper towel into the toilet bucket and smiled.
Xue Yali also smiled. Looking at her cousin's face, she found it pleasing to the eye.
"Sister, you are even more beautiful than before."
"You're not bad either."
Xue Yali pursed her lips and returned to the topic, "Sister, I heard that your boyfriend's parents are gone?"
Li Shurui's smile did not change.
"Well, your aunt told you that, right?"
If you can't hide this kind of thing, your relatives will definitely ask about it, and your mother will definitely have introduced it in advance.
But it probably didn’t tell the whole story.
Otherwise, if they knew that Jiang Chen spent so much money to treat his father's illness, his aunt and others would never have that attitude.
She also understands her mother's thoughts.
Unlike my aunt, my mother doesn't like to show off much, nor is she that arrogant. Of course, more importantly, she probably doesn't want these elders to think that she chooses to be with Jiang Chen because of material things.
"Sister, I hope you don't mind..."
"of course not."
Li Shurui smiled softly, "I know, my aunt also cares about me."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we talk about love, but sister, don't you think it's a bit too hasty for you to bring someone home in such a hurry?"
"how about you?"
Li Shurui asked with a smile.
Phases come from the heart.
Xue Yali, who has short ear-length hair, is indeed very candid and said bluntly: "I brought Liu Hongzhi back because he can provide me with a stable material life. But sister, you are both still in school, and the future is full of too many uncertainties.
sex……"
Some things don't need to be said too nakedly.
"Yali, you have really grown up."
Li Shurui didn't find it harsh.
She has long passed the age of innocence. Let’s not talk about the cultural influence my sister received abroad, but only about the country.
Today's young people, who still fantasizes about pure and flawless love.
Even in a fairy tale kingdom like Disneyland, you can enjoy privileges by spending money.
Not to mention others, let’s just talk about the three roommates, Xu Siyi, Zheng Jingjing, and even Guo Ran.
Guo Ran is already a less "realistic" girl, but will she find a destitute partner?
Still not.
Many people in school scolded her for being vain, but Li Shurui never refuted it. She even said to Jiang Chen in no uncertain terms that material things are the basis of love.
So of course she would not refute Xue Yali's statement as being too snobbish.
Everyone has the right to seize the life they long for.
"You can find the happiness you want. I am happy for you. But similarly, I have also found the happiness you want now. I hope you can bless me too."
Xue Yali was silent.
"I'm going back."
Li Shurui didn't stay any longer, smiled slightly, and walked out of the bathroom.
Xue Yali turned her back, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
————
Returning to the box, Li Shurui sat down as if nothing had happened and found that her aunt was once again showing off a bracelet her daughter had brought back to her from abroad.
"Xiao Liu, it's really costing you a lot of money."
"Auntie, you're welcome. Just like it."
The pride of Wall Street performed impeccably from beginning to end, and he was a perfect example of a wealthy husband.
"Aunt, is this a Cartier bracelet?"
Li Shurui is also quite good at cheering. She doesn't know much about these luxury brands, but at least she knows more about them than ordinary people. After just one look, she can tell the origin of this bracelet.
"Well, Ruirui still knows the goods. Don't look at how small it is, but it costs tens of thousands!"
Zou Luoxia showed off her wrists deliberately, smiling so hard that she could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear.
"Ruirui, when you come back this time, you must have brought a gift for your mother, right?"
"Yeah, but it's definitely not as attentive to you as Yali."
Li Shurui responded with a smile and did not want to mention it further.
But Xue Mingqin couldn't help it.
In other respects, that's all. But when it comes to children's filial piety, no parent would want to lag behind others.
"Xiaojiang and the others gave me a diamond, but the diamond was too big. I am already so old, so why would I love these things? So I thought about processing it into some jewelry for Ruirui to get married.
, make a dowry for her."
Xue Mingqin's words can be said to be quite level.
It secretly hurt the younger siblings who kept showing off from beginning to end, and at the same time, it also affirmed Jiang Chen's status.
diamond?
And it’s “too big”?
Not to mention others, even Liu Hongzhi, who worked on Wall Street and had extensive experience, was attracted to his attention.
Zou Luoxia's face froze, and she seemed a little doubtful. She forced a smile and said: "Sister, are you exaggerating? How big of a diamond needs to be processed into a bunch of jewelry?"
"Anyway, I've never seen such a big diamond. It's probably this big."
As he said that, Xue Mingqin made gestures with his hands.
"Sister, are you kidding me?"
Xue Shuzhi and her husband looked at each other, with the same shock in their eyes.
"Such a big diamond must be at least a hundred carats, right?"
Hundreds of carats of diamonds?
Liu Hongzhi, who had always been as steady as a rock, couldn't help but sit up straight, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"I don't know how many carats it is, but Ruirui said it seems to be some kind of blood diamond."
Blood diamond?
Everyone looked at Li Shurui in unison.
"Ruirui, blood diamond... what is it?"
Zou Luoxia has really never heard of it.
To be continued...
