I can support you.

Then he patted the girl's shoulder and introduced her to Xue Pianpian:

"Xue, this is my junior sister Zhao Yiyi. Isn't she beautiful too?"

Xue Pianpian nodded in agreement.

"Well, she is worthy of being Teacher Jiang's disciple. She is absolutely a great beauty."

Ning Youran turned the camera to the other sisters and let Xue Pianpian take a quick look.

When the camera was facing her again, she said seriously:

"Xue, Master just told me that our godmother is nagging us, saying that we're both so heartless that we haven't visited her in such a long time. You happen to be in Kyoto, so if it's convenient, go visit her and say hello for me."

Xue Pianpian exclaimed,

"Huh? Didn't she say she was in Hangzhou for a meeting? When did she come back? I didn't want to disturb her because I was afraid it would affect her meeting.

Okay, sister, I'll go see my godmother tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to give her your regards."

Ning Youran waved at the camera,

"Okay, then you and Feng Ning should have a good meal. We are about to start. If Godmother knew you were there, she would definitely be very happy."

"Really? Pianpian is in Kyoto, that's great. I'll contact her later. I have to ask this girl why she didn't come to see me even though she's already at my doorstep!"

Chen Mengjun had just hung up the phone with Jiang Lan when Xue Pianpian called.

"Godmother, I miss you so much!"

Xue Pianpian spoke coquettishly, her voice sweet and sticky.

Chen Mengjun originally had a bit of a "challenge" attitude, but after hearing this sweet and soft coquettish voice, the curve of her mouth could not be held back, and she deliberately snorted in a stern voice:

"Miss me? I can't tell - you've been in Kyoto for several days, right? If Sister Lan hadn't mentioned it, were you planning to leave without telling me?"

Xue Pianpian was coaxing in a long tone:

"How could I? Godmother! I heard you were in Hangzhou for a meeting, and I was afraid you'd be too busy to bother you. I had already planned to go see you with my sister after you finished this, but I didn't know you'd be back so soon."

"You are a good girl,

Chen Mengjun was amused and her tone relaxed.

"I just got back yesterday afternoon. I had some business matters, so I called Sister Lan. Then I heard from her that you were in Kyoto. I was betting on whether you could remember an old woman like me. Now that I see that your attitude is pretty good, I forgive you."

"Hehe, thank you for your forgiveness, godmother!"

There is joy in the sound of snow dancing.

"Then I'll go over around ten tomorrow morning. I saw a very unique sandalwood fan while shopping this morning. The pattern is very beautiful. I'm sure you like it."

"Just come here, bring whatever you want."

Chen Mengjun said angrily, and then said,

"Pian Pian, are your parents coming too? When you come tomorrow, help me pick out some gifts for them, and I'll go see them too."

"Yes, our whole family except my brother is here. My parents have never been to Kyoto, so this is a good opportunity to show them around.

No need to bring any gifts, they are all theater fans, if they knew that such a big star as you would be coming, they would definitely be overjoyed! "

Chen Mengjun didn't respond to this question, and changed the subject:

"How's your sister Youran's rehearsal going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xue Pianpian immediately reported:

"Everything is ready. It's still too hot now, so we'll start rehearsals in September. We haven't encountered any problems yet, but my sister will definitely contact you if we need anything."

Chen Mengjun nodded.

"That's good. Tell your sister if there's anything you need me to help you with. Don't hesitate. I've been in the opera world for a long time, so I should have some influence."

Xue Pianpian was busy responding on the other end:

"I know, godmother! I'll definitely tell my sister. My sister often tells me that she never dared to dream before, but one day she would have a celebrity like you as her godmother. Just thinking about it makes her so happy."

"You Ran's personality may be a little too gentle, but her tenacity towards art is truly endearing! With your full support, I'm sure this play will be a stellar one! Don't forget to contact me if you have any questions!"

"Okay! I'll remember it, godmother,"

Xue Pianpian smiled and replied,

"Don't worry. Once she's done with the rehearsal, I'll have her record a clip for you to watch. I'm sure you'll find some mistakes. But I think with you here to back her up, her play will definitely be a masterpiece."

"You girl, you just know how to make me happy,"

Chen Mengjun was amused and laughed out loud.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Drive slowly when you come here tomorrow. There's no need to rush."

"Okay, godmother! Then I won't disturb you to rest. See you tomorrow!"

Xue Pianpian hung up the phone, immediately picked up the car keys and went out again. She had to buy a few more gifts.

"Pianpian, you little girl really have good taste!"

Chen Mengjun's fingertips gently brushed across the branches of pale green orchids embroidered on the collar of her cheongsam. The stitches were so fine that they were almost invisible, but the toughness of the orchid leaves and the softness of the petals were brought to life by the embroidery.

She slowly turned half a circle in front of the dressing mirror. The moon-white silk fabric gently spread out with her movements, like running water soaked in moonlight, sticking to her body without being too loose or too tight, just enough to highlight her slim figure even though she was older.

The person in the mirror raised his hand to smooth his temples, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes were filled with joy:

"Look at this material. It's smooth to the touch, but not sticky. It's comfortable even in hot weather. And the pattern is simple yet not bland. It's perfect for my age. It doesn't make me look too young, nor too old. Where did you find this good stuff?"

Xue Pianpian was sitting on a rattan chair beside her, peeling lychees. She looked up and smiled when she heard this:

"I saw it while shopping yesterday. The shop specializes in traditional cheongsams. The owner said the material was old silk purchased last year, and the flowers were embroidered by their embroiderer stitch by stitch for half a month. I immediately thought it suited your temperament, and it really looks great on you!"

Chen Mengjun smiled at the mirror again, reaching out and gently pressing the dark-patterned buttons on the hem of her cheongsam:

"Isn't it beautiful? It suits me better than the bright red one I wore when I was younger. You have a very sharp eye, girl. I'll need to ask you for advice when I buy clothes in the future."

Xue Pianpian chuckled and said modestly:

"It's not that exaggerated, godmother. It's mainly because you are so beautiful that you look good in anything. This cheongsam is just the icing on the cake for you."

Chen Mengjun tapped her forehead lightly and said lovingly:

"You! This mouth is simply invincible.

I've been your godmother for so long, but I haven't met your godfather and brother yet! I specifically told them to come back early at noon so we can go out for dinner. Pianpian, what do you want to eat?

Xue Pianpian's eyes lit up before she could even throw away the lychee shell in her hand:

"Really? Then I have to prepare myself well—will my godfather and brother dislike me?"

Although she said she was worried, her voice was full of excitement. After all, she had been my godmother for so long, and she had heard her talk about how her godfather was a university professor and that her younger brother had opened an Internet technology company and was said to be doing quite well.

Chen Mengjun was amused by her expectant yet nervous look and patted the back of her hand.

"Why are you worrying so much? Your godfather has heard me talk about you so many times, saying that he wants to see what the girl who makes me smile looks like.

As for your brother, with his temper, if he sees the sandalwood fan you're wearing, he might even chase you and ask where you bought it."

Then he thought of asking about food and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"Stop peeling the lychees and tell me what you want to eat. Do you want to try that old restaurant in the alley? Their nine-turn large intestine is authentic, though a bit salty. Or should we go for Huaiyang cuisine?"

Xue Pianpian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Listen to Godmother! In fact, what matters is not what you eat, but who you eat with. With a beautiful woman like Godmother by your side, you will have a big appetite for everything."

"Girl, I'm really impressed by you!"

Chen Mengjun smiled and tapped her nose.

"Then I'll take the decision. I'll take you to eat Huaiyang cuisine. I'll call them and ask them to come back early and not dawdle and keep you waiting."

She stood up and went to get the phone on the coffee table. She took two steps and turned back. She saw Xue Pianpian, who was looking at her with a smile on her face, and said angrily:

"Don't just look at me, drink some tea. This is the Keemun black tea I've treasured for a long time. Come and try it."

Xue Pianpian obediently picked up the exquisite Jun porcelain teacup and took a sip:

Mmm, it's really delicious! It has a fragrant aroma, a fresh and mellow taste, and also has a fruity and floral aroma.
