I can support you.

Xue Pianpian paused, her eyes swept across the familiar faces at the table, and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to He Yuling, and gently touched the top of Xue Junhao's head with her fingertips:

"Why is it so lively today? Are you all gathered together?"

He Yuling smiled and put a piece of mapo tofu into her bowl with a chopstick, saying in a friendly tone:

"Your dad said he hadn't eaten with you for a long time, so he asked the kitchen to prepare Sichuan cuisine according to your taste.

Xiao Meng and Yu Jiao also said they haven't seen you for several days. Can you eat at home today?"

Wu Meng immediately took over the conversation, his eyes full of anticipation:

"Yes, Pianpian, usually you are either not at home or busy in the study. It's rare to see you today, so why not eat with us?"

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Xue Pianpian changed her decision without hesitation: Let's go back to the staff restaurant to experience it again, family is the most important.

She turned and looked at Zhang Kexin with a smile:

"You can sit down and eat with everyone. After eating, we will go directly to the store."

Zhang Kexin obediently found an empty seat and sat down. This was her second time eating at her boss's house. The chef's level was no worse than that of a five-star hotel.

As soon as Zhang Kexin sat down, He Yuling poured a spoonful of beef in sour soup into her bowl and said with a smile:

"Ke Xin, try this! The kitchen specially made this soup base today. It's sour and very appetizing."

Zhang Kexin quickly thanked him and put a piece of beef into her mouth with chopsticks. The tender beef wrapped in the hot and sour soup instantly made her eyes light up and she couldn't help but nod:

“It’s so delicious, even more authentic than what I had at the Sichuan restaurant before!”

This made everyone at the table laugh. Xue Zhenguo put down the soup bowl, looked at Xue Pianpian lovingly and said:

"Pianpian, did you know that Yunlong is getting married?"

Xue nodded gracefully.

"I know. Uncle Zhenxing called me this morning. I told him that our whole family should go back a day early and stay in our villa."

After a pause, he asked:

"Dad, what gift do you think we should give him?"

He Yuling took over,

"If you ask me, no gift is better than giving money. It saves time and is practical for your uncle. They can buy whatever they want with the money. How great!"

"That's what happened,"

Xue Pianpian said while picking out fish bones,

"But, Mom, in addition to giving Yunlong a wedding gift, you can also give my Aunt Zhenxing some gifts. She has helped us a lot in the past."

"That's right! Your aunt is really nice."

He Yuling watched her daughter eat with relish and added some stir-fried seasonal vegetables to her bowl.

"Don't just eat spicy food, eat more vegetables. So what do you think I should buy for her?"

Xue Pianpian swallowed the food in her mouth, thought for a while and said:

"Let's buy her three gold pieces: a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and gold earrings. I guess she didn't get to wear them when she married my uncle. Let's buy them for her on my uncle's behalf."

He Yuling's eyes lit up, and she paused with her chopsticks:

"Oh, that's a great idea! When your aunt married your uncle, their family was poor. They didn't even have a decent silver bracelet, let alone the three golds. Later, when life got better, she kept saying she was too old and it was useless to wear these things. In fact, I know she was reluctant to do so."

Xue Zhenguo listened from the side and nodded:

"My daughter is so thoughtful. Your aunt has helped our family a lot over the years, especially when you were first admitted to school. In order to raise tuition for you, she took out the money she had saved for building a house. We must remember this kindness. Giving her the three golds is both respectable and can make her really happy."

"Then it's settled!"

He Yuling immediately made the decision and put another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Xue Pianpian's bowl.

"After dinner, I'll send Junlin and the others to school. I'll go with your sister-in-law, Xiaoyun, your aunt, and your younger aunt to pick out something stylish but not ostentatious. It'll be perfect for your aunt."

Then he looked at Tang Wenxia and Li Xiaoyun:

"You two should buy a few sets for your families. We didn't have money before, so we couldn't do anything about it. Now that we have money, we must think more about our families."

Tang Wenxia nodded happily.

"Yeah, I see, Mom. I'll remember it."

Li Xiaoyun said obediently:

"Yes, yes, Mom."

Xue Pianpian drank a mouthful of soup, smiled at her sister-in-law and sister-in-law and said:

"I have something else to do this afternoon, so I'll trouble you two to accompany our parents."

After saying that, he quickly transferred 200 million to each of them.

With two "ding ding" sounds, Tang Wenxia and Li Xiaoyun received the transfer information one after another.

Tang Wenxia's eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise, and she said coquettishly:

"Pianpian, I have plenty of money, why did you transfer it again?"

Li Xiaoyun's fingers holding the phone paused slightly, a smile of surprise and embarrassment instantly appeared on her face, and she quickly waved her hands:

"Sister, this is too much. Between what you gave me and what Jingyi gave me, I still have almost 500 million in my hands."

Xue Pianpian picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, her tone as natural as if she was talking about daily life:

"Why are you being so polite to me? You guys usually take care of a lot of things at home, taking care of your parents, picking up and dropping off the kids. You're more thoughtful than a daughter like me. This little money is nothing. If you want to buy something you like, or buy something for the kids, feel free to do so."

He Yuling laughed and chimed in:

"If she gives it to you, just accept it. Don't be polite to her."

After hearing what her mother-in-law said and looking at Xue Pianpian's sincere face, Li Xiaoyun finally stopped refusing, her eyes slightly warmed:

"Thank you, sister, and thank you, mom. I won't be polite then. Let's go buy some more clothes for Mom and Dad. We're going back to our hometown soon, so they must dress nicely."

Tang Wenxia also nodded and put the phone back in her pocket:

"That's right, don't worry, Pianpian, the two of us will take good care of our parents and won't let you worry."

Xue Zhenguo felt warm inside when he heard this. He put down his chopsticks and patted the edge of the table.

"You guys are so thoughtful. But don't just think about us, buy yourself some clothes and jewelry."

Xue Pianpian saw that the time was almost up, so she picked up her phone, stood up and said:

"Then Ke Xin and I will be leaving first. The shop is still waiting for the renovation plan. You guys enjoy your meal, and call me if you need anything.

Aunt, auntie, you guys are welcome to come and tell my sister-in-law and Xiaoyun what you like. Don't be afraid to spend money. Don't worry, your daughters can support you."

Wu Meng put down his chopsticks, smiled until fine lines appeared on the corners of his eyes, and reached out to pat Xue Pianpian's arm.

"Oh, my dear niece, hearing this makes your aunt feel sweeter than eating honey! Don't worry, we will definitely not be polite to you!"

He Yujiao also nodded, her eyes full of satisfaction:

"That's right, Pian Pian is successful now, and she's so filial. Our whole family is benefiting from it. You go and do your own thing, we'll help you out here and make sure your parents don't worry."

Xue Pianpian responded with a smile, then turned to look at Zhang Kexin:

"Then let's go. Ke Xin, tell Wang Xin to go help Chen Yu. He doesn't need to follow us. You drive."

Zhang Kexin agreed, stood up and followed Xue Pianpian out.

In the car, Zhang Kexin looked at Xue Pianpian who looked very satisfied and couldn't help but sigh:

"Boss, the atmosphere in your home is really nice and warm."

Xue Pianpian's lips curled up:

"We're all family, so it's only natural that we care about each other. A harmonious family is the key to success. Everything is good in our family. The only regret is that we have too few girls. I have no sisters and no nieces.

Ke Xin, what's your family situation like? Do you have any sisters?

Zhang Kexin showed a proud expression on his face.

"Haha, boss, I'm happier than you in this respect. I have two older sisters, a younger sister, and a younger brother."

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the commercial street where the shop was located.

As soon as I got off the car, the head of the decoration team came up to me with a roll of design drawings in his hand:

"Mr. Xue, you've arrived just in time. The manufacturer sent us two new color cards for the wall color scheme we discussed yesterday. Please take a look and see which one is more suitable."

Xue Pianpian took the color card, her fingertips paused on the light apricot and off-white colors, then looked up at the businesses around the shop:

"Let's go with light apricot. The warm color looks elegant and matches the dessert shop next door."

The team gathered around the design for over half an hour, finalizing details like the ceiling shape and container dimensions. Zhang Kexin meticulously took notes, occasionally adding his own thoughts. By the time everything was finalized, it was nearly six in the afternoon.

Xue Pianpian glanced at the time, turned to Zhang Kexin and said:

"Since I didn't make it to the company cafeteria for lunch, I might as well have dinner there."
