After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Over the years, he and his elder brother Li Hongxing and Liang Yusen have been getting along well. They are not blood brothers but are better than brothers. However, as the saying goes, there are differences in length and closeness. He is the eldest brother's blood brother and Shiwen's closest uncle.

Now that his elder brother was preparing for such a big event as Shiwen's marriage proposal, he actually bypassed him and handed it over directly to Yusen. Isn't this a slap in his face?

Li Ronghua caught a glimpse of Jing Qiu's tightly pursed lips and pale fingertips. The frost on her face was a little colder than his, but now his eldest brother was already very dissatisfied with them, and today was a good day for Shiwen to propose marriage. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to swallow it.

The two looked at each other, and the emotions surging in their eyes turned into silent sighs and finally disappeared under their drooping eyelashes.

Li Hongxing looked at the gift boxes, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yusen, you have prepared everything very well. Thank you for your hard work in preparing these all morning."

Liang Yusen took off his suit jacket and casually put it on the armrest of the sofa. His bony hands held the celadon teacup. He was busy all morning and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water: "Brother, what's the point of thanking each other between brothers?

If it wasn't for the date set by Shiwen at the last minute, the gifts for the marriage proposal should have been more complete to make it perfect." He raised his head and drank the warm tea, his Adam's apple rolling and his expression showing a bit of regret.

Liang Yusen put the celadon teacup back on the coffee table, then turned around and took out a palm-sized sandalwood box from the inside pocket of his suit. The lid of the box was engraved with a gilded lotus pattern. He pushed open the buckle and pushed the box in front of Li Shiwen.

Li Shiwen looked down and saw a black and gold bank card in the box.

Li Shiwen looked up and saw the smile in Liang Yusen's eyes: "Shiwen, this is the gift money I gave to my niece's wife." He tapped the box with his fingers, "There is 6.66 million in this card, hoping for a good luck of 66 big wins."

Li Shiwen knew that with Uncle Liang's wealth, if he hadn't been concerned about the impact of him and Zhou Dan working within the system, the gift money would have been much higher.

Li Shiwen knew that Uncle Liang had been very restrained, so he didn't act pretentiously. He picked up the wooden box with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liang. I'll put it away for Zhou Dan first. When she gets married, we'll serve you tea together."

Liang Yusen looked at Shiwen, whose brows were relaxed, and in a trance he saw the little baby who smiled at him while holding a bottle of milk thirty years ago.

A low laugh rolled out of his throat, and he flicked Li Shiwen's forehead with his finger: "You can manage the household for your wife."

However, Liang Yusen was more emotional. He raised his hand and patted Li Shiwen on the back of his neck, and his knuckles were full of strength, saying, "You little bastard, you have grown up and are going to get married and start a family."

When Li Jiawei saw that Uncle Liang had added a betrothal gift, she couldn't help but look at Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu.

The mother had been holding the celadon teacup in her hand for a long time, and the tea must have gone cold long ago, but she was unaware of it. The fingertips of father Li Ronghua repeatedly stroked the back of the sofa. It was obvious that they had not prepared any gifts and came empty-handed.

Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh. Although Shiwen's sudden date for the marriage proposal caught people off guard, the time for notifying Uncle Liang was the same as the time for notifying their parents. Uncle Liang went to prepare the betrothal gifts early in the morning and was able to take out the prepared gift money.

Although the money was a bit vulgar, no one could say anything because of the tight time.

Looking at my own parents, they didn't even prepare any money.

Although all the people sitting here were relatives, the uncle would not pick on the gifts for his parents, but Li Jiawei thought about it and stood up and went to the inner room.

After a moment, she returned to the crowd holding two satin jewelry boxes.

She placed the box on the coffee table and said, "Uncle, these are two sets of jewelry that Dad and Mom asked me to prepare for Shiwen. They are their additional betrothal gifts."

She had originally intended to give these two sets of jewelry to Shiwen today, and asked her to hand them over to Zhou Dan privately. Now they can only be used for emergency purposes. As for the ones she was going to give to Zhou Dan, she would have to wait for a while before giving them to her.

Li Ronghua felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his earlobes turned red.

Li Ronghua felt embarrassed, but at least with these two sets of jewelry, he and Jing Qiu wouldn't be too embarrassed. He couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Li Jiawei and shamelessly admitted, "Yes, brother, Shiwen, these two sets of jewelry were prepared by Jing Qiu for Jiawei."

Liang Yusen turned the ring on his left ring finger, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips; Li Hongxing half-closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

Everyone present was smart. Judging from the awkward look of Li Ronghua and his wife just now, this excuse was just an attempt to cover up the truth. They all knew that Jiawei took out the two sets of jewelry to save face for her parents.

But no one pointed it out. Some things don't need to be said clearly, and some face must always be saved.

Li Hongxing looked at the jewelry box on the coffee table and let out a heavy sigh.

His younger brother had a very smooth life. When his mother was alive, she protected him. Now that his mother has passed away, she still lives under his wings.

Therefore, as time went by, he became less experienced in the ways of the world and now is not as insightful as his daughter Jiawei.

Li Hongxing looked at the two sets of jewelry in the jewelry box. She was afraid that these two sets of jewelry were what Jiawei wanted to give to Shiwen, but now they had become a "decent" way to save face for her parents.

"Jiawei is so thoughtful." Li Hongxing picked up the teacup and took a sip. Although the tea tasted slightly bitter between his teeth, it was more than enough to offset the warmth in his eyes.

Li Hongxing stroked the teacup with his fingertips. When he came back this time, he thought that Jiawei would have a quarrel with Ronghua and his wife because of the matter of "Meishang". But now, looking at Jiawei's calm brows and the way she used jewelry to save face for her parents, he realized that he had underestimated this child.

He looked at Jiawei's calm expression and couldn't help but secretly praise her in his heart. This child not only saved her parents' face, but also resolved the embarrassment without making a fuss. This kind of delicate mind showed that she knew the limits better than many people who had received elite education since childhood.

As it stands, there is nothing wrong with what Jiawei did.

From this, it can be seen that Jiawei has a very broad mind and is a person with a strong sense of the overall situation. She does not care about temporary gains and losses.

"You are all so thoughtful." Li Hongxing's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of relief, "Especially Jiawei, now she is becoming more and more like your grandmother when she was young."

He paused, his eyes softened and reminisced, "No wonder your grandmother kept saying before she died that you were the one who was most like her, smart and insightful, and you always took the overall situation into consideration."

After Li Hongxing finished speaking, there was silence in the living room.

Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu shifted uncomfortably, while Li Jiawei said softly, "Uncle, it was grandma who taught me well. I also learned a lot from her."

Beneath her drooping eyelashes, there is an unknown stubbornness and tenacity, just like the old lady who supported the Li family back then.
