After the divorce, I became a rich girl
Chapter 229 Engagement
This was the most complete gathering of Li Jiawei's family since she returned to the Li family. Her father Li Ronghua, her mother Jing Qiu, her eldest brother Li Yan and his family, her uncle Li Hongxing and his son Li Shiwen, and her uncle Liang Yusen were all present.
The engagement ceremony was held in the courtyard without any complicated procedures. They just asked someone to redecorate the courtyard and invited the hotel chef to come to the house to prepare the banquet.
Neither Li Jiawei nor Xiao Yi likes to be in a crowd, so it is enough to have their family witness the engagement ceremony. Moreover, both she and Xiao Yi are no longer young, so they pay more attention to the ceremony itself and the blessings of their family.
Li Jiawei wore a custom-made white silk cheongsam, which was made by a cheongsam master half a year ago. It was not originally prepared for an engagement, but when Li Jiawei accompanied her sister-in-law Zhong Xinlan to order a dress, she accidentally discovered that the cheongsams displayed in this store were very elegant, so she ordered one immediately.
Last week, as soon as the cheongsam was finished, she asked her sister-in-law Zhong Xinlan to bring it to Beijing. Now, it is the perfect dress for the engagement. As for the Xishi dress that Li Jiawei prepared earlier, she put it in the closet. As for when to wear it, I am afraid I have to wait a little longer.
Xiao Yi wore a black Zhongshan suit, which complemented Li Jiawei's cheongsam. The two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, were a perfect match.
Jing Qiu held Li Jiawei's hand tightly, and turned her gaze to Xiao Yi, her eyes full of satisfaction. She asked someone to bring the jewelry box she had prepared.
The box had six layers, each containing a set of valuable jewelry. She turned to Li Jiawei and said gently, "Jiawei, these are all my collections over the years." Then, she picked up a mutton-fat jade bracelet and gently put it on Li Jiawei's wrist, "It fits really well. Nowadays, there are not many mutton-fat jades of this quality. This bracelet was given to me by your grandmother when I married your father. Now, I give it to you, and I wish you and Xiao Yi a happy and harmonious future, and live together forever."
Li Jiawei gently stroked the bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom!"
In fact, yesterday the family had already given Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi all the gifts they had prepared for their engagement. Li Jiawei roughly estimated that the gifts she received for this engagement were worth several small goals.
Today, with the precious jewelry given by her mother Jingqiu, her already overflowing coffers have been enriched. No wonder people often say that engagement and marriage are ways for young couples to get rich.
After the engagement ceremony in the courtyard, the next day, the eldest brother Li Yan and his family set off for a vacation in Europe. Li Shiwen returned to Xishi because he worked in the system and had to be on duty the day after tomorrow, so he couldn't stay in Beijing for too long. The uncle also returned to his residence. He will go down to visit and inspect the work tomorrow, and his schedule is quite tight.
In an instant, the courtyard that was originally bustling with activity suddenly became deserted.
In the bedroom, Li Ronghua watched his wife Jing Qiu busy packing clothes, and said disapprovingly: "How about you stay in Beijing for two more days?"
Jing Qiu answered while sorting out his clothes: "I'd better go back to Shenzhen. The nanny called me this morning and said that Xuanbao and Yang Shihui had another fight yesterday. She is already weak, and they can't get a divorce now. I'm afraid that Xuanbao will be stimulated again and her condition will worsen."
Li Ronghua sighed: "Wait another two months, until the businesses of the two companies are completely separated, Xuanbao can divorce Yang Shihui."
Jing Qiu put down the clothes in his hands, sat on the bed, and said: "I used to think Xuanbao was smarter than Jiawei, but now I have changed my mind. Jiawei is much smarter than Xuanbao, and she sees things very clearly. She found a partner like Xiao Yi, and there are not too many interests entangled between the two, and the relationship is much purer. It's not like Xuanbao and Yang Shihui, who are entangled in a mess."
After listening to Jing Qiu's evaluation of Li Jiawei, Li Ronghua shook his head and smiled, "You are wrong. Jiawei is not smart. She just never overestimates herself or belittles herself. She knows what she wants and she is easily satisfied. I once wanted to introduce Jiawei to the children of my partners, but she refused.
She said that people who grew up in different environments have different values. Even if you have a good impression of each other after getting to know each other, and get engaged and married smoothly, there will be many trivial things in life, and many conflicts and contradictions break out from these trivialities. "
Jing Qiu listened to Li Ronghua's words and smiled bitterly: "Xuan Bao just calculated everything too clearly. You say, if she had been with the prefect at the beginning, how great it would have been! You say, now that the prefect is not married, does he still not forget Xuan Bao?"
Li Ronghua smiled but didn't say anything. He didn't know what happened between the two children. Their relationship was so good, but it was over. He sighed, "When you get there, call me and tell me about Xuanbao's condition. Tell her to take good care of herself. I'll visit her when I have time."
The next morning, Jing Qiu flew to Shenzhen, and Li Jiawei personally saw her off.
After Jing Qiu left, Li Ronghua also became busy. This time he came to Beijing to meet with partners he hadn't seen for a long time and maintain some relationships. Although Li Hongxing is now in Beijing and in a high position, sometimes it is precisely because of Li Hongxing that Li Ronghua should remain humble.
Liang Yusen also left Beijing on the same night Jing Qiu left and flew to the United States. He has many businesses in the United States, and this time he went back to discuss a cooperation.
Only Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi were left at home. They stood in the second courtyard holding hands, looking at the empty courtyard and smiling at each other. This courtyard was too big and seemed particularly lonely.
Li Jiawei looked at Xiao Yi and said, "How about I take you to meet my parents?"
Xiao Yi replied: "Okay!"
Li Jiawei took out her cell phone and called Cheng Ping, her tone much happier: "Hello, Mom, what are you doing?"
Cheng Ping stopped the vacuum cleaner and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law took the two children to the supermarket. Your father is washing the dishes and I am cleaning. This house is too big and it is really hard to clean."
Li Jiawei listened to her mother's complaints and said with a smile: "Mom, Xiao Yi and I will be there soon, remember to prepare food!"
After hearing this, Cheng Ping said, "Oh, really? What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."
Li Jiawei glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "Let's have wontons for lunch."
Cheng Ping said happily, "I'll go and knead the dough now. I won't say any more. I'll hang up first. I'll call your brother and ask him to buy some fresh beef at the supermarket and come back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi went back to their room to pack up. Li Jiawei said to Xiao Yi, "How about staying at my parents' house tonight?"
Xiao Yi looked at the expectation in Li Jiawei's eyes and said with a smile, "Okay."
