With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Speaking of the little girl, Wen Shuyi couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Yuanliang.

The girls the old man introduced weren't bad, but they couldn't compare to Yuan Liang in terms of lifestyle, experience, and perspective. And their youth and beauty meant nothing to Yuan Liang; he wasn't a superficial man who only cared about appearances.

Of course, the old man did consider having children, as women are healthier when they are younger, but marriage is not just about having children; the key is to be able to stay with Yuanliang for a long time.

“It doesn’t matter if she’s older, it’s just that I’m worried about her being married before.” Wen Shuyi murmured. As a woman herself, she didn’t have any prejudice against divorced women, but it was mainly her grandfather’s opinion that was difficult to get through.

“It looks a bit bigger than Yuanliang,” Jiang Yuanmao said.

Wen Shuyi was taken aback: "A relationship between an older woman and a younger man?"

"should be."

Shen Jingjing looks relatively young; although she is forty-five years old, she looks like she is thirty-seven or thirty-eight.

Jiang Yuanliang also looks young. Although he has a strong presence, he doesn't look as old as thirty-eight.

Therefore, visually, Shen Jingjing always appears to be a bit older than Jiang Yuanliang.

Wen Shuyi was even more worried when she heard this: "If he is thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, I'm afraid the old man will not agree."

"If the second son really likes it, then we should at least help him out, right?"

“That’s for sure. If Yuanliang is truly sincere, then we have to help him get past Dad’s hurdle no matter what.” Wen Shuyi let out a soft breath, as if she had made up her mind: “Putting everything else aside for now, I’ll find some time to meet this person and find out what’s going on.”

Jiang Yuanmao couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "I'm relieved to have your help, and Dad will listen to you too."

"Don't be so optimistic. If this woman is really older than Yuanliang and has been married before, Dad probably won't just listen to me."

As she spoke, Wen Shuyi looked at her husband and said, "You should also ask Yuanliang what he thinks, whether he is interested or not, so that we don't end up wasting our time."

Jiang Yuanmao nodded: "Okay, I'll ask him."

The 37th Golden Magpie Awards ceremony was held a week before Lunar New Year's Eve at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Six-Pointed Star Studio.

According to the previously released list of invitees, this year's "Golden Magpie Awards" is a star-studded event, with many heavyweight figures from the domestic entertainment industry in attendance.

2025 was a breakthrough year for China's film and television industry, with a series of hit shows and many dramas achieving both critical acclaim and high viewership.

"The Phoenix" broke records and topped the annual ratings, becoming the most successful and profitable drama in the history of "Golden Star Entertainment".

In the hospital, the family squeezed onto the living room sofa in the ward to watch the live broadcast of the awards ceremony together.

"Ah Li's first awards ceremony is in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, this is a good omen!" He Bin said happily to everyone.

The two sisters, Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying, were both a little nervous.

Glory looked at Shen Ci and asked, "Sister, did Second Sister successfully lose weight? Can she fit into that amazing dress now?"

Unexpectedly, Glorious knew about this. Shen Ci smiled and nodded: "It worked. The moment she squeezed herself in, she was so moved by the beauty of the dress that she cried."

This is no exaggeration at all. No wonder Sui Lai is so capable and has every right to be proud. That dress was tailor-made for Shen Li, so it couldn't be altered at all.

The final result was worthwhile, and Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, all that money she spent would have been wasted.

Xingxing kept her hands clasped together in a fist and silently prayed for her sister, hoping that her sister could win the award!

In Shenzhen and Hong Kong, a luxurious five-star hotel was booked out entirely by the organizers of an awards ceremony today, where all the artists attending the awards gala will stay.

Meanwhile, every room was bustling with activity.

"Ah Li, we'll be getting on the bus in fifteen minutes. Get ready!"

Shen Li was doing the final touches on her makeup when she heard this and gave an OK sign.

Sister Kuan personally came to oversee the project, and even Sui Lai was in Shen Li's room with her. She had to ensure that the final presentation of the clothing would be the best, and she couldn't ruin her reputation.

"Are you nervous?" Sister Kuan asked with a smile as she leaned against the wall.

Shen Li nodded without any attempt to hide her feelings: "Nervous, but also excited and looking forward to it."

Sister Kuan patted her on the shoulder: "You're sure to be the center of attention tonight."

Once the makeup and styling were complete, Sui Lai personally helped Shen Li put on her gown. The moment the azure, shimmering gown was on, it instantly brightened Shen Li's entire being!

The flowing gold and silver threads on the azure dress resembled the reflections of the sun and moon in the sea, making Shen Li's skin appear even whiter and her whole being glow!

Everyone in the room stared in astonishment at the effect of the dress on her, because it was simply too beautiful.

Sui Lai smiled with satisfaction; she knew she couldn't be wrong.

It was Shen Li's own skill to make the clothes look good, and Sui Lai was very satisfied. Changing her previous attitude, she looked at Shen Li and said, "This dress was designed entirely according to your features and temperament. It was created for you, and it belongs to you alone. So walk confidently and generously on the red carpet!"

Shen Li nodded gratefully.

"What about accessories?" Sui Lai glanced at the table and frowned when she didn't see any jewelry. "Sister Kuan, you didn't prepare any accessories, did you? Didn't I give you a few options before?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Kuan quickly smiled and said, "Of course we've prepared it; it's in the safe."

As she spoke, Xiaoyun walked to the safe, opened it, and took out an exquisite box. The moment she opened it and presented it to Sui Lai, Sui Lai's pupils dilated noticeably.

"Cartier's Panthere luxury collection?" Sui Lai looked at Sister Kuan in shock: "This collection was only released in September and has only appeared in the global public eye twice!"

Sister Kuan raised an eyebrow: "That's right."

"Borrowed from your company?"

Sister Kuan nodded meaningfully: "Of course."

Even a big name in the fashion world like Sui Lai couldn't help but marvel. "Jin Xiao" is a company with some fame in China, but it certainly doesn't have any global recognition. How could such a company borrow top-tier jewelry from "Cartier"?

Who would believe it?

But then the jewelry appeared right in front of her.

However, what Sui Lai didn't know was that the mysterious buyer behind this set of top-tier jewelry was actually Shen Li's sister, the same person who had used her wealth to persuade her to buy the jewelry.

High-end brands typically release only one set of their top-tier luxury collections. After the set is unveiled, it will be subject to bidding wars among various buyers, with the highest bidder ultimately winning the set.

The reason for the secret acquisition was to maintain the mystery of these jewels, allowing them to be passed down through generations, and to make a stunning appearance at auction years or decades later.
