Li Beinian arrived at the Mu Family Mansion and saw Li Haoran and Fang Zhili sitting inside from afar.
But at the same time, she also saw someone unexpected.
“Nian Nian is back.” Wu Meiya smiled gently when she saw Li Beinian. “Nian Nian is getting more and more beautiful.”
“Yes.” Lin Kerou held Wu Meiya’s arm and smiled sweetly and flatteringly. “I thought the last time I saw Nian Nian was the peak of her beauty, but I didn’t expect Nian Nian to look even more lovely while wearing casual clothes.”
Li Beinian smiled slightly. “Thank you.”
“Come over quickly.” Li Haoran beckoned happily, Then, he looked behind Li Beinian and asked, “What about Xueqing?”
“She’s at the back.” Li Beinian sat down.
Wu Meiya called with a smile. “Nian Nian, is it tiring to film? I heard that the environment was particularly bad. If you’re tired, you can rest.”
“Auntie, I’m not tired. It’s not that hard to be an actress.” Li Beinian smiled and then looked at Lin Kerou. “However, I heard that Ms. Lin has been very busy recently. How could you have time to come over?”
Before Lin Kerou could say anything, Wu Meiya said, “She also saw the posts on Weibo recently and was concerned about you, so she came over specially to take a look at you.”
“Yes.” Lin Kerou smiled gently. “I passed by a shop and saw a hairpin that is particularly suitable for you, so I bought it.”
She stood up.
When she came back, she was holding a gift box in her hand. “Look at it and see if you like it.”
Li Beinian was somewhat flattered. She looked at it and smiled. “How could I accept it…”
“It’s okay. I bought it on the way while buying a gift for Auntie.”
After that, she looked hesitant and then said, “Nian Nian, I accidentally caught a cold last time during the banquet. I wanted to hold on for longer and leave when the banquet was over, but I didn’t expect to faint at that time. I’m so disappointing!”
Lin Kerou’s eyes already turned red. “I’ll apologize to you here. Brother Donglin really likes you, so don’t be angry with him.”
“Kerou is so kind.” Wu Meiya patted Lin Kerou’s hand with a gentle face. “Accept it, Nian Nian. Kerou has been helping Donglin recently and has been relatively busy with work, but she even bought you a gift when she heard that you were coming back, so forgive her.”
Li Beinian narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. “What do you mean? I would have forgotten about it if you didn’t mention it. Since that was a misunderstanding, I certainly don’t mind. Thank you, Ms. Lin.”
Lin Kerou looked grateful and nodded. She wiped her tears and said, “Thank you, Nian Nian. No wonder Brother Donglin likes you so much. You not only look good but also have a good heart.”
Li Beinian couldn’t bear her compliments anymore. “You’re flattering me.”
But she felt her heart sink.
In her past life, Lin Kerou had also flattered her like this while winning over everyone’s favor.
Compared to Li Xueqing, Lin Kerou’s methods were even more impressive.
“Dad, Mom.” Li Xueqing trotted over and immediately embraced Fang Zhili and Li Haoran before whining. “I missed you to death. Long time no see!”
Li Haoran laughed loudly and hugged her and Fang Zhili affectionately before saying, “Look at you, still whining at this age.”
