Keeping the promise

After being discharged from the hospital, the New Year is approaching, just like the light snowflakes, falling silently on the earth.

Li Yunting held Zheng Wancheng's hand tightly and said in a firm tone: "Wancheng, come back to the Li family's main residence with me. It's time for you to meet those hypocritical relatives." Zheng Wancheng nodded slightly. She knew in her heart that this trip would not be easy, but for Li Yunting, she was willing to face it.

Zheng Wancheng was well aware of the importance of going to the Li family's main residence to meet Li Yunting's relatives, especially the matter of preparing gifts for the elders, which could not be neglected.

So, Zheng Wancheng called her best friend Zhong Chunjie and asked her to go to the mall together to choose gifts for the elders of the Li family.

Zhong Chunjie gladly accepted the invitation, and the two met at the entrance of the shopping mall the next day.

Zheng Wancheng said to Zhong Chunjie seriously, "Chunjie, choosing a gift this time is very important. I'm really afraid that if I don't choose the right one, I'll get into trouble." Zhong Chunjie patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, let's think about it together."

After entering the mall, the two headed straight for the gift section. Zheng Wancheng looked intently between the shelves, carefully examining each item. Zhong Chunjie was also not idle, picking up a gift from time to time to analyze whether it was suitable.

"How about this one?" Zheng Wancheng picked up an exquisite purple clay teapot and asked Zhong Chunjie hesitantly. Zhong Chunjie shook her head and said, "I don't think it's suitable. The elders of the Li family may have higher tastes. This one seems a bit ordinary." Zheng Wancheng put down the purple clay teapot and continued to look for it.

They came to the jewelry area again. Zheng Wancheng liked a jade bracelet with a warm color and delicate texture. But she was worried that the price was too high and it would seem too deliberate. Zhong Chunjie suggested: "Why don't we take a look at other styles, or a more low-key and luxurious necklace?"

In this way, Zheng Wancheng and Zhong Chunjie went back and forth in the mall, comparing and considering repeatedly, in order to choose a gift that would suit their tastes and satisfy the elders of the Li family.

After several hours of careful selection, Zheng Wancheng and Zhong Chunjie finally chose several gifts.

There is a cashmere scarf for the old lady of the Li family, which is soft and warm, with a simple yet noble color; there is a precious inkstone for the master of the Li family, which is simple and elegant, showing the cultural heritage.

The two of them carried their carefully selected gifts and found a coffee shop to sit down and rest.

Zheng Wancheng took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Chunjie, do you think these gifts can really satisfy the elders of the Li family? Although Yun Ting doesn't have a very good relationship with them, I still feel unsure."

Zhong Chunjie held her hand and gave her an encouraging look: "Wancheng, don't be too nervous. The gifts we chose are all thoughtful. They will definitely be able to feel your sincerity."

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath and nodded: "I hope so. By the way, Chunjie, thank you so much for accompanying me this time. If it were me alone, I don't know how long I would have to struggle."

Zhong Chunjie smiled and said, "We are friends. Your business is my business."

After coming out of the coffee shop, Zheng Wancheng and Zhong Chunjie chatted for a while and then went home.

Zheng Wancheng returned home, carefully wrapped the gifts, and went to rest.

The next day, Li Yunting saw Zheng Wancheng who was well prepared and the neatly arranged gifts. Li Yunting touched Zheng Wancheng's head and said, "Wancheng, it's not necessary."

Zheng Wancheng smiled slightly: "It's okay, after all, they are all elders over there."

Zheng Wancheng then went to the closet and carefully selected appropriate clothes, which should show her temperament but not be too ostentatious so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

She compared items again and again in front of her wardrobe and finally chose a simple yet elegant dress.

Then, Zheng Wancheng began to fix her makeup. She carefully applied light makeup to make herself look energetic and friendly. She faced the mirror and gently applied lipstick, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Then, Zheng Wancheng began to think about how to deal with the questions and difficulties that those relatives might raise.

She silently rehearsed various scenarios in her mind, preparing appropriate and powerful responses.

She told herself that no matter what the situation, she must remain calm and composed.

Afterwards, the two of them took the gifts, got in the car, and drove towards the main residence of the Li family. Zheng Wancheng became more and more nervous, she didn't know what kind of situation was waiting for her...

The car slowly stopped in front of the door of the Li family's main house. The Li family's main house was located in a quiet place in the city, like an ancient and majestic castle.

The building covers a vast area and is surrounded by lush tall trees, as if isolating it from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The main gate of the house is made of heavy mahogany and inlaid with exquisite copper decorations, exuding a simple and solemn atmosphere.

On both sides of the door stand majestic stone lions with sharp eyes, guarding the family mansion.

Walking through the gate, there is a spacious courtyard, the ground is paved with bluestone, the pattern is neat and elegant.

The courtyard is filled with rare flowers and beautifully trimmed shrubs, blooming with different colors and fragrances in all seasons.

The main building adopts European classical style. Tall white stone pillars support the magnificent porch and the walls are carved with exquisite reliefs, showing the glorious history and glory of the family.

The roof is a steep pointed dome covered with dark gray tiles, which gleams mysteriously under the sunlight.

Entering the lobby, you will see a huge crystal chandelier, which is dazzling and illuminates the entire space. The floor is covered with soft Persian carpets with exquisite patterns, and stepping on them will make you feel like you are in the clouds.
