After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Sister-in-law Xiong sighed and finally gave in.

She took the tablet and handed it to Xiong Xiaotian, her tone serious: "Xiaotian, here, thank you, sister. But, it's a deal, it can only be used for studying. If I find you secretly playing games, I'll give it back to you immediately!"

Xiong Xiaotian happily accepted the tablet and thanked Liu Qingyi with beaming eyes: "Thank you, Sister Liu! I wish you and Uncle Feng a long and happy life together!"

He paused, then added like a little adult, "If Uncle Feng dares to bully you, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Ye Feng feigned dissatisfaction and complained, "Well, Xiao Tian, ​​I used to treat you so well, and you sold me out for a tablet?"

Xiong Xiaotian smiled smugly, ignoring Ye Feng, and instead gave his sister-in-law a loud kiss on the cheek: "Mom, I promise I won't play games!"

Sister-in-law Xiong's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt grateful to Liu Qingyi.

She looked at Liu Qingyi and said sincerely, "Qingyi, thank you so much, Xiaotian..."

Liu Qingyi quickly interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, I should be thanking you. You're so busy, yet you still prepared such a sumptuous dinner."

As she spoke, Liu Qingyi took out another gift box.

Sister-in-law Xiong was stunned for a moment, then took the gift box with some surprise.

Upon opening it, I found an Estée Lauder skincare set inside.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and stroked the gift box with great affection.

This skincare set isn't cheap; she usually wouldn't buy it herself.

Brother Xiong looked at his wife and said, "We can't waste it like this. You still have so many skincare products you haven't used yet."

Sister-in-law Xiong immediately retorted, "How is this a waste? This skincare set is incredibly rare! I've never used anything so good before; this is the first time I've ever owned one!"

She carefully held the gift box in her arms, as if it were a precious treasure.

Brother Bear scratched his head.

He had never paid any attention to the bottles and jars his wife used, and the most expensive thing she usually bought was only a few dozen yuan, so he didn't think much of it when Liu Qingyi gave him a gift.

Judging from her tone now, this thing must be incredibly expensive.

He was about to refuse when Sister-in-law Xiong beat him to it.

"Qingyi, this is too valuable, we can't accept it." As she spoke, Sister Xiong was about to return the gift box to Liu Qingyi.

Brother Bear secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qingyi pouted, feigning anger: "Sister-in-law, you're showing favoritism! You accepted Xiao Tian's gift, but why won't you accept yours?"

Sister-in-law Xiong shook her head with difficulty: "Qingyi, I know this brand, but it's too expensive. It would be a waste to use it on me."

Despite her deep affection for the gift, she insisted on returning it.

Sister-in-law Xiong looked at the gift box in her hand. Actually, she really liked this brand of skincare products, but its price made her hesitate, and she had never dared to buy them.

"Sister-in-law, a woman has to take good care of herself." Liu Qingyi held Xiong's sister-in-law's hand and said affectionately, "If you don't take good care of yourself, those stinky men will start gossiping and nagging again."

Sister-in-law Xiong nodded in deep agreement: "That's right! Those stinky men just can't be spoiled!"

She paused, then added, "Qingyi, if Xiaofeng bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson!"

Ye Feng and Brother Xiong exchanged a helpless glance and couldn't help but smile wryly.

These two women have quickly formed a united front.

Ye Feng thought to himself: It seems that this gift was the right one, and the effect was immediate.

Brother Xiong thought to himself: The friendship between women is really strange.

Then, Liu Qingyi brought Xiong's mother into the conversation, and the three women chatted happily, completely ignoring the two men.

The conversation ranged from skincare products to clothes, then to children's education, and finally even touched on the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, filled with laughter.

At this point, Liu Qingyi observed Xiong Dasao's expression again. She continued to add fuel to the fire: "Sister-in-law, look, I've already called you sister-in-law, so don't be so polite with me."

Sister-in-law Xiong was very satisfied with her god-sister-in-law and finally stopped refusing the gifts.

Ultimately, it's because I can't bear to part with it.

Brother Xiong wanted to object, but Ye Feng stopped him.

Ye Feng shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to say anything more.

This was Liu Qingyi's tactic to win people's hearts, and it was also part of his plan.

Then, Liu Qingyi gave Brother Xiong a wallet. He was initially embarrassed to accept it, but with encouragement from Sister-in-law Xiong, he reluctantly accepted it.

Brother Xiong held the wallet, feeling it was a bit too hot to handle.

Liu Qingyi then took out a gift box for Mama Bear.

"Godmother, this is a gift I prepared for you." Liu Qingyi opened the gift box, inside was a jade bracelet of excellent quality, its value clearly far exceeding that of the other gifts.

The mother bear's eyes lit up, a smile spread across her face, and she gladly accepted the gift.

The atmosphere at the dinner party was harmonious. The dining atmosphere at the Xiong family's house was different from that at the Liu family's; it was more pleasant and relaxed.

The Liu family had many rules and a formal atmosphere, while the Xiong family was more casual and lively.

Ye Feng listened to warnings all night: "Don't bully Liu Qingyi." From Sister-in-law Xiong to Mother Xiong, and even Xiao Tian, ​​who spoke in a childish voice, he was repeatedly reminded.

Ye Feng was inwardly both amused and exasperated, but outwardly he still earnestly agreed.

After the meal, Liu Qingyi insisted on helping to clear the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, let me wash them," Liu Qingyi said, reaching for the bowls.

"Oh dear, that won't do!" Sister-in-law Xiong stopped her. "Go and rest. I'll finish this little bit of work in no time."

Liu Qingyi wanted to persist, but was persuaded to stop by Mama Xiong.

"Qingyi, just listen to your sister-in-law, go and rest, don't tire yourself out." Mother Bear patted her hand kindly.

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Liu Qingyi had no choice but to give up.

Back in her room, Liu Qingyi shed her composure in front of others and collapsed onto the sofa.

Ye Feng was packing his things when he saw her like this and couldn't help but tease her, "Oh, Miss Liu, mind your image."

Liu Qingyi struggled to sit up straight and asked earnestly, "How was my performance today?"

Ye Feng suppressed a laugh: "Xiao Tian treats you like a fairy, what do you think?"

Liu Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm exhausted. Although I look calm on the surface, I've actually been preparing for a long time." She rubbed her temples. "To be honest, my sister-in-law's attitude at first made me a little uneasy, but thankfully it was all resolved in the end."

She paused, her gaze softening. "I hope it can always be like this in the future."

Ye Feng packed his things, walked over and sat down next to her, and put his arm around her shoulder.

Liu Qing leaned against him, savoring a moment of peace.

Neither of them spoke anymore.

After a while, Ye Feng got up and turned off the light.

In the darkness, Liu Qingyi felt more relaxed, and she felt that everything she had done today was worthwhile.

On the other side, Sister-in-law Xiong tiptoed into Xiaotian's room.

Oda was engrossed in watching his newly acquired tablet computer.
