That was her favorite thing, and she brought it all the way to Yancheng. It couldn't be given away or thrown away casually.
Yun Qiao originally planned to ask for it in a few days, but after hearing this, she pretended to hesitate.
Wen Luyao was indeed fooled: "I'm serious, if I don't tease you this time, I will definitely return it to you."
Yun Qiao had no choice but to agree to her.
The two of them went to eat local food.
As soon as he saw Yun Qiao, he heard Lu Yao shouting: "What happy event have you had recently?"
Yun Qiao was confused: "What happy event?"
"You keep smiling, and you say there is no happy event?" Wen Luyao pointed at her face, "The corners of her lips have never gone down. What, you did to Xi Laoqi?"
Yun Qiao: "..."
She didn't want to satisfy Aunt Wen's bad taste, so she changed the topic and asked her to quickly complain about Zhu Ershao, and then they went home.
When Wen Luyao put on her posture and planned to chat, she saw Li Hong and Mrs. Li walking upstairs to the private room.
Li Hong saw Wen Luyao first and didn't want to say hello, then he saw Yun Qiao.
"Mom, you're my friend." Li Hong said, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Mrs. Li stretched her head and saw Yun Qiao, pretending not to recognize her: "She's so beautiful. Is she your colleague?"
"No, she is a young lady from the Xi family. The fourth wife's daughter from her ex-husband is considered the fourth master's stepdaughter." Li Hong explained.
Mrs. Li suddenly realized: "Then I'll go say hello too."
The mother and son came over. Yun Qiao and Wen Luyao stood up and were polite to each other.
Mrs. Li invited them both with a smile: "Today is my birthday. I don't want to have a busy and troubled house, so I just invited Baozhu and we will have a simple meal outside."
Mrs. Li believes in Buddhism. She only celebrates the Buddha’s birthday every year, and her own birthday is always scrawled in the past.
This year it was Lin Xie who brought it up and said she wanted to treat him.
Li Hong hurriedly said no, it would be nice to have a meal together. He also helped Lin Xie choose a gift for his mother. Although he paid for it, the gift was counted as Lin Xie's.
"I wish you good health and long life, and may you be blessed with a sea of blessings." Yun Qiao said with a smile.
Mrs. Li: "Thank you very much."
Hearing Lu Yao's smile, he also said a few polite words.
Mrs. Li still invited the two of them upstairs to have dinner together in the private dining room, which was crowded and lively.
"Doctor Li, it's a waste of money for you." Yun Qiao agreed.
She said she went to the bathroom first, asked Li Hong for the door number of the private dining room, and then went out with Wen Luyao to buy gifts on a nearby street.
Wen Luyao bought a shawl, and Yun Qiao bought a pair of gold earrings.
When the two of them went to the private room, Lin Xie had already arrived and was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Li.
Lin Xie was not surprised at all when he saw Yun Qiao and Wen Luyao. He stood up with a smile and greeted them.
Yun Qiao gave a gift.
"Look, it's too expensive for you to have fun together," Mrs. Li said.
Yun Qiao: "A little care is worthless."
A few people sat down, and Li Hong asked the waiter to serve the food.
Lin Xie sat next to the old lady, picking up food and talking from time to time. She was thoughtful but not overly enthusiastic. No one disliked her like this.
Mrs. Li kept her secret and looked very useful as she praised Lin Xie repeatedly to Yun Qiao and Wen Luyao.
Hearing that Lu Yao was busy eating and not talking much, Yun Qiao chimed in with a few words.
The group was very lively and enjoyed the meal.
Lin Xie was good at talking and witty, and he always supported Mrs. Li. Yun Qiao was filled with admiration, but she was not that good at complimenting others anyway.
Mrs. Li was also able to keep her composure and did not show any signs of it from beginning to end. She smiled at Lin Xie's words when she needed to and praised when she needed to, just like a very gentle mother-in-law.
Li Hong felt happy when he saw this.
At the whole dinner table, I heard that Lu Yao was relatively quiet.
Aunt Wen doesn't know how to speak casually. She usually either curses or finds trouble. If she's serious, she can only say one or two words and just immerse herself in eating.
