After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan's indignant expression and said with a smile: "Zhou Dan, thank you!"

Zhou Dan touched his arm and asked, "Why are you so cheesy all of a sudden?"

Li Jiawei smiled and hugged Zhou Dan: "I just suddenly found you so cute."

In fact, Li Jiawei knew in her heart that ever since Zhao Jianye, Chang Gang, Zhou Dan and others knew about her past with Zhang Yi, they had often stood up for her and taught Zhang Yi a lesson.

They didn't need to do anything deliberately. They just needed to mention Zhang Yi's character issues to the leaders of the Personnel Bureau at an exchange meeting among leaders of various departments or during a casual chat, and that would be enough to make Zhang Yi reap what he sowed.

After all, if you want to gain the favor of your leaders while working in a government agency, your character must not have any major flaws.

Li Jiawei was filled with gratitude for the help from Zhao Jianye and others.

A few days after returning to Xishi, Li Jiawei's dress for the banquet arrived. To be honest, she didn't like wearing dresses. Although they were all custom-made by famous designers, each one was very expensive. But it was okay to try them on in the store and take photos on weekdays, but if she really wore the dress to attend a social event for several hours, it would be too tiring and inconvenient to do anything.

The dress has no other uses except looking good!

Li Ronghua had this dress tailored for her three months ago, and two sets were made in total.

Li Ronghua said that this was her first official appearance as the daughter of the Li family, and the scene had to be just right so she could not be overshadowed by other socialites attending the party!

Li Jiawei had been back at the Li family for so long, and she didn't have many opportunities to interact with upper-class socialites. The most formal one was at a charity party in Beijing. But that time, because He Zhizhou and Zhong Yi were there, she didn't have the heart to socialize with others.

Li Jiawei stood in front of the dressing mirror. A staff member carefully squatted down to adjust the hem of her skirt, while another complimented her: "You and this dress really fit perfectly. You will definitely be the focus of the whole audience!"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "Thank you! Can you take a photo for me?"

The staff member quickly responded: “Of course!”

Li Jiawei posed and asked her to take a few photos for her, then she chose the one she thought looked the best and sent it to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi, as her fiancé, was also going to attend the banquet, and their dresses were matching. Xiao Yi had tried on the dress yesterday, and Li Jiawei had seen how he looked in it during a video call, and he was really handsome.

After adjusting the hem of the skirt, the designer walked up and asked, "Ms. Li, how do you feel? Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Li Jiawei shook her head and said with a smile: "No, very good!"

In a blink of an eye, it was Jing Qiu's birthday. Li Jiawei did not return to the apartment last night, but stayed in the villa. Her room was on the third floor of the villa.

Li Xuanbao has moved to the villa next door with her children, so now there are only Li Ronghua, Jing Qiu and her at home.

When Li Jiawei woke up in the morning, she was still a little dazed looking at the unfamiliar environment. She lay in bed for two minutes before her mind gradually cleared up. She got out of bed, opened the curtains, and saw staff busy downstairs.

The originally monotonous yard has now become full of flowers, very eye-catching, adding a lot of vitality to this quiet winter.

After washing up, Li Jiawei went downstairs. Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu were still asleep, so she walked into the kitchen. Several chefs were preparing food, and Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh that the kitchen was so big that it seemed so empty even with so many people standing there.

It was not until yesterday that Li Jiawei found out that there was not only one kitchen in the villa, but two separate kitchens for making Western food and pastries.

This Chinese kitchen is the most frequently used. Li Jiawei picked up an apron and tied it on, without asking the staff for help, she took out the dough she had prepared in advance.

She wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Jing Qiu. She learned the noodle-making skill from her adoptive mother Cheng Ping, and she learned it quite well, so making longevity noodles was not difficult for her.

Li Jiawei had just brought the cooked longevity noodles into the restaurant when Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu walked in. Seeing Li Jiawei wearing an apron and holding an exquisite porcelain bowl in her hand, Li Ronghua asked in surprise, "Weiwei, did you go to the kitchen?"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "I made a bowl of longevity noodles for my mother."

After hearing this, Jing Qiu immediately walked to Li Jiawei in surprise and said, "You can also make longevity noodles? Let me see." Then he reached out to take the bowl.

Li Jiawei quickly leaned over to remind him: "It's a little hot!"

Then, she gently placed the bowl on the dining table. A thin noodle was seen swirling in the bowl, with a few drops of oil floating on the clear soup and a few emerald green onions dotted in between, which was both beautiful and exuding an enticing fragrance.

Jing Qiu looked at the bowl of longevity noodles with red eyes, and then hugged Li Jiawei tightly in her arms: "Thank you for your hard work, my daughter! Mommy has received your kindness!"

Li Jiawei put her arm around Jing Qiu and said, "I wish mom good health and a long life!"

Jing Qiu responded with a smile: "Thank you for your blessing, my daughter!"

When Li Jiawei went back upstairs to change her clothes and went downstairs, her eldest brother Li Yan's family and Li Xuanbao and Xiao Mingxuan had already arrived. As long as there are children in the family, no matter how big the house is, it can't contain their noise. They want to tear the roof off.

When Zhong Xinlan saw Li Jiawei coming in, she smiled and joked, "Jiawei made longevity noodles for her mother, which outshined all the gifts I carefully prepared."

Jing Qiu smiled and said to Li Jiawei: "Your sister-in-law and Xuanbao both gave me a set of jewelry. I'm really going to get rich this time."

Li Jiawei sat next to Zhong Xinlan and asked with a smile: "What gift did your brother give you?"

Li Yan half covered his mouth and whispered to Li Jiawei: "I took a picture of my mother, you have to keep it a secret for me!"

Li Jiawei also imitated Li Yan and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and will keep it a secret for you!"

Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu couldn't help laughing as they watched the brother and sister playing and joking. Li Xuanbao also laughed and said, "Brother, your confidentiality measures are too inadequate. I heard everything!"

Then, Xiao Mingxuan came running over and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, I heard it too. You said you bought a painting for grandma!"

As soon as Xiao Mingxuan finished speaking, bursts of laughter broke out in the restaurant.

Li Jiawei prepared not only longevity noodles for Jing Qiu, but also a carefully customized cheongsam, which she specially asked a master craftsman from Suzhou to make.

Last night, this cheongsam was given to Jing Qiu in advance. After Jing Qiu tried it on, she put away the dress she had prepared. Today was her birthday party, and she decided to wear this cheongsam to attend.

After breakfast, the family was busy preparing for the banquet. Staff were setting up the scene, people were coming and going, and although they tried to keep their voices down, it was still a bit noisy.

So, Zhong Xinlan took Li Jiawei to get a beauty treatment. She originally wanted to invite Li Xuanbao, but Li Xuanbao was not in a good mood, so she did not force him.
