Until they arrived at the manor, the Liu couple did not announce their decision.

But when Ji Chuyun and Lin Suxin took Liu's mother to change clothes, Liu's mother had a good and serious chat with them. However, Liu Yuanyuan didn't know about this, but when she saw Liu's mother come out after changing clothes, Liu Yuanyuan was amazed. She had never seen such a beautiful mother.

Mother Liu wore light makeup. Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, with a simple hairpin inserted. Even with this simple outfit, she looked much younger.

She wore a smoky grey, orchid-embroidered, plush cheongsam with fur trim at the cuffs, collar, and hem. She also wore a simple, solid-color lambskin shawl draped over her arms and a pair of silver-embroidered square-heeled, square-toed leather shoes. This gave her a gentle and elegant aura.

So Liu Yuanyuan decided that after the Lunar New Year, when she could withdraw the money she had earned from filming videos, she would buy her mother some cosmetics and some nice clothes. She couldn't wear them to work, but she could still dress up on weekdays.

Father Liu, who was changing with Tang Ziji, also brightened up when he saw Mother Liu. However, Mother Liu's eyes were a little vague, and she seemed a little uncomfortable, perhaps because she had never dressed like this before. Being stared at by her daughter and husband, and surrounded by so many unfamiliar people, she seemed a little guilty.

Liu Yuanyuan was the first to react, immediately jumping up and laughing. She walked over, took Liu's mother's hand, and said with a smile, "You are so beautiful. From now on, you should follow this standard. My dad's eyes are wide open."

When Mrs. Liu heard what Liu Yuanyuan said, she didn't refute it, but just glared at her fiercely. Then she looked at her husband.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Father Liu staring at him intently, and he suddenly felt embarrassed. He immediately glared at Father Liu.

Ji Chuyun, standing aside, smiled and said, "Look, Yuanyuan and Mr. Liu also think it looks good. You don't have to be polite, just accept the dress. The most important thing is that the dress has already been bought, and Suxin and I can't wear it. It would be a waste to just leave it there unused."

Lin Suxin, who was standing by, also smiled and said, "That's right, don't refuse anymore. Yuanyuan also said it looks good and wants to buy you one. If you take this set, Yuanyuan won't have to look for similar ones, and it can also save her some money."

The two people's persuasion touched Mother Liu's heart, so she stopped refusing and agreed readily.

Liu Yuanyuan found that the three mothers got along very well. But come to think of it, Lin Suxin and Ji Chuyun were both of high status and had strong social skills, so it should be easy for someone to get along well with them.

The fact that these two people are willing to make their mother happy shows that they sincerely want to accept themselves this time.

While Liu Yuanyuan was analyzing her thoughts, Lin Suxin smiled and said, "Ziji, take Yuanyuan and her father to visit your grandfather and Old Master Lu. Your father and Uncle Lu will probably be here a little later. They have a meeting to attend."

Tang Ziji didn't say much, just nodded to his mother, turned around and led Liu Yuanyuan and her father upstairs.

The three mothers then arrived at the banquet hall of the manor together, but unexpectedly, there were already many people in the hall.

However, they were just in the corner of the backstage entrance and did not attract anyone's attention.

At this time, Lu Mingzhi and Lu Meichen were helping the two mothers receive guests.

Ji Chuyun took Mother Liu's hand and patted it to reassure her, then walked into the crowd and called out Lu Meichen.

At first, Lu Meichen was a little confused, but when she followed Ji Chuyun over and saw Liu's mother, she understood everything. Because she had eaten at Liu's house several times, she knew Liu's mother and called her mother generously, "Mother."

The word "mother" made Mother Liu's eyes red instantly.

Ji Chuyun and Lin Suxin glanced at each other, and then Lin Suxin said, "Xiuling, bring Meichen with you. There's a lounge here where you and your daughter can have a good chat and get to know each other. Don't worry, we'll call you for dinner."

Mother Liu did not refuse Hong. She nodded with her eyes red, followed Lin Suxin, and left with Lu Meichen.

Meanwhile, in a small reception room upstairs, Mr. Tang and Mr. Lu were fighting on the chessboard.

Seeing Tang Ziji bringing the Liu family father and daughter up, he smiled and nodded, then sent Tang Ziji and Liu Yuanyuan to the next room, under the pretext of letting the two children improve their relationship.

Father Liu frowned, somewhat unconvinced, but for a moment, he found it difficult to refute. Mr. Lu, who was pondering Mr. Tang's previous move, was arranging the pieces he had captured. Without looking up, he said, "You must be Liu Zhiye. We spoke on the phone. Don't worry, there are people in that room too. As her grandfather, I wouldn't harm the little girl."

After saying that, Mr. Lu moved the chess piece and said "checkmate", then looked up at Liu Zhiye.

Mr. Lu's gaze made Liu Zhiye's heart stagnate. It was filled with scrutiny and pressure. But the feeling disappeared in an instant. Then Mr. Lu said with a smile: "I am taking advantage of my age and calling you Sheng Zhiye. I wonder if it is okay?"

Liu Zhiye said uncomfortably, "You are the elder, of course you can."

Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "I've heard Old Tang mention you. He has a very good impression of you and your wife. I've been in contact with Yuanyuan for the past six months, and I've found that aside from her frequent thoughts, she's a good child in every other way. This shows that you and your wife have done a good job in raising her."

On the contrary, it is our Lu family who feels a little sorry for you and your wife. We have spoiled Meichen a little too much, and we hope you can be more tolerant. If there is any problem, please tell us. If you are not able to educate the child, we will do it for you.

Mr. Lu's words made Liu Zhiye feel complicated. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The old man's words were clearly supporting Lu Meichen, expressing that they would not let Lu Meichen go just like that, indicating that the Lu family also cared about these 16 years of raising her.

But this also revealed that the Lu family and the couple had the same idea. Yuanyuan and Meichen cared about it and didn't want to let it go easily. If a fight really broke out in the future, they would definitely not be a match for the Lu family.

Although Liu Zhiye felt complicated, he still smiled and said, "Look at what you said, old man. Meichen also came to our house some time ago. I think she is a good child. She is studious, curious, hardworking, and has a good personality. Such sensible children are rare at their age.

Our daughter Yuanyuan also has a lot to learn from her. So, you are worrying too much, old man."
