Zou Family Residence
Wen Li was trimming the new bonsai in the living room. When she heard the servant come to report, she hurriedly put down the scissors and turned to see Li Mei and Jiang An waiting.
Jiang An quickly greeted her. “Hello, Auntie Zou. Sorry to disturb you today.”
Wen Li smiled and quickly walked forward. “You’re not disturbing! I’m so bored alone that I’m panicking. I’ve been waiting for you! Take a seat.”
Wen Li pulled Li Mei’s hand and walked towards the sofa. She said to Jiang An, “An’an, come and sit with us.”
Then, she instructed the middle-aged woman who had been following her, “Auntie Zhang, quickly take out the snacks and fruits and call Xiao Ya over.”
Auntie Zhang bowed and agreed. “Yes, Madam.”
Wen Li and Li Mei sat down side by side. Jiang An sat down beside Li Mei.
Li Mei smiled and started chatting with Wen Li. “I see that everything is going smoothly for you now. That’s why you’re free. Your children are successful in their careers and your family is harmonious. These days are so good.”
When Wen Li heard this, she sighed softly. “What do you mean by going smoothly? My Fourth Son already contributes a few problems just by himself. His marriage, or lack thereof, is worrying me to death. He doesn’t have any dating experience, is boring, and doesn’t talk to girls. How can he find a wife?”
After saying that, Wen Li purposely looked at Jiang An. “An’an, don’t you think Auntie is right? Girls nowadays like boys who are more eloquent, right?”
Jiang An smiled faintly when she was suddenly called out. “Not necessarily. Sweet talk means the least. Zou Bai is very outstanding. He’s far more important than these frivolous things.”
Hearing her son being praised, Wen Li nodded in satisfaction. “You have good taste. A man’s inner beauty is indeed more important.”
Jiang An felt a small hand reaching out to touch her hair. She turned around and saw Jiang Yu grinning at her. She stretched out her hands and began to make a request in a childish voice. “Mommy, hug.”
Jiang An carried Jiang Yu and sat her on her lap.
Wen Li stretched out her finger and gently tapped Jiang Yu’s little nose. “Little Feather, do you still remember who I am? We just met some time ago.”
Jiang Yu tilted her little head and looked around in thought. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and pointed at Wen Li. “Shiny! Shiny!”
Jiang Yu had always been pretty and chubby. No matter how one looked at her, she looked blessed. It was precisely because of this that even though Wen Li knew that she was a child of the Jiang family, she still liked her very much. She stretched out her hands and said, “Aiyo, it’s all thanks to that shiny necklace. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even remember me. Come over and give Grandma a hug.”
Jiang Yu was not afraid of strangers. She stretched out her short hands and was carried into Wen Li’s arms.
Wen Li turned to the person beside her and instructed, “I have a butterfly-shaped gem ring. It’s in the first drawer on the right of my dressing table. Help me take it down.”
The servant immediately went upstairs to get it. Jiang Yu raised her head and looked at Wen Li with a smile. Wen Li’s heart almost melted. “Little Feather, the shiny things that you like will be here soon. Li Mei, your granddaughter is too cute!”
When Li Mei heard Wen Li praise Jiang Yu, the smile on her face deepened. “She’s quite cute and chubby.”
Seeing this, Wen Li asked again, “Hey, why didn’t you bring your grandson today?”
Li Mei replied, “That brat Jiang Huai is directing and filming television dramas himself. The young actor isn’t feeling well and can’t act anymore. He had no choice. This morning, he anxiously came and asked to bring Jiang Yi over to help him film for a few days.”
Wen Li’s face was filled with regret. Then, she said jokingly, “That’s a pity. We didn’t get to see it twice in a row. Looks like he only wants to be in the finale.”
Auntie Zhang returned to the living room with the ring. “Madam, the ring is here.”
Wen Li took the ring and started to tease Jiang Yu. “Little Feather, do you want to play with shiny?”
Jiang Yu’s eyes never left the ring. Her gaze followed the ring on Wen Li’s finger. “1 want… shiny.”
Wen Li smiled and made a request. “Then you have to call me Granny first. If you do, I’ll let you play.”
Jiang Yu did not hesitate for a second. She immediately shouted loudly, “Granny!”
Wen Li looked at Jiang Yu’s money-grubber face and laughed out loud. She placed the ring in Jiang Yu’s hand. “For you, it’s all yours!”
With something she liked, Jiang Yu obediently sat in Wen Li’s arms without making a fuss.
Such obedience made Wen Li like Jiang Yu even more. With the help of the child’s words, these mothers naturally started talking and chatting happily..
