After dinner, Lin Wanyi saw Liu Renzhi off at the door.
“Don't take what my mom said to heart. She's probably just reluctant to part with Keke,” she said.
Liu Renzhi kissed her on the forehead.
“I know. Go to bed early tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning,” he replied.
“Morning?”
Lin Wanyi was a bit confused.
“The banquet is in the evening. What do we need to do in the morning?”
Liu Renzhi smiled. “Of course, it's for dressing up. Girls at banquets like this can spend several hours just on makeup.”
Lin Wanyi thought it was an exaggeration, but she didn't argue.
Since she had made up her mind to date Liu Renzhi, these were things she should learn and integrate into.
She couldn't back down.
After returning to her room, Li Suhua handed her a plate of fruits.
“You don't think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you two, do you?”
Lin Wanyi ate a strawberry.
“Of course not, Mom. I know your concerns. You're worried that Keke will affect us, and you're also afraid that Keke won't adapt, right?”
Li Suhua sighed.
“Wanyi, let me be honest with you.
“In my heart, I'm thinking that Renzhi is the backbone of the Liu family. Su Jing definitely hopes that he can have his own child after getting married.
“This isn't selfish, nor is it deliberately making things difficult for you.
“It's only natural. If Renzhi were my son, I'd have the same thought.
“It would definitely be inconvenient if Keke went with you.
“Wanyi, have you ever thought about this?”
No, Lin Wanyi really hadn't thought about this problem.
She had never planned to have another child.
But now, Li Suhua's reminder made her reconsider her relationship with Liu Renzhi.
If she didn't want to have a child, would Liu Renzhi still be with her?
Would Su Jing still agree?
She thought about it and couldn't sleep all night.
How should she tell Liu Renzhi about this?
If she really didn't have a child, it would also be unfair to Liu Renzhi.
She just kept thinking like this, half - asleep and half - awake until dawn.
Li Suhua told her,
“I won't go to Su Jing's birthday banquet. It's full of famous ladies. I don't know what to do there.
“Have a good time. Since you've decided to be with Renzhi, you should act like his girlfriend.
“Remember, don't be timid and don't feel inferior because of your status.”
Lin Wanyi nodded. “I know, Mom. Don't worry.”
Lin Jiajun was now a driver at the Liu Corporation. It was part of his job to pick up and drop off Lin Wanyi.
He also got up early. He polished the car until it was shiny and stood by the front of the car.
“Sis, take a look at this car. Do you know how much it costs?
“Let me tell you, I never thought I'd be able to drive such a luxurious car in my life.
“I don't even dare to post it on my WeChat Moments. I'm afraid people will say I photoshopped it.”
Lin Wanyi smiled. “Come on, don't show off. This is the company's car. The more expensive the car, the heavier your responsibility.
“You're transporting important people. You must be extremely careful. Do you understand?”
“Understood.”
Lin Jiajun scratched his head.
“I definitely won't let Brother Liu down.
“Let's go, Sis. I'll take you there first and then come back to pick up Huihui and Keke.”
Just as Lin Wanyi was about to get in the car, Liu Renzhi's car drove into the yard.
He got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Lin Wanyi.
“I said I'd pick you up this morning,” he said.
Lin Jiajun chuckled.
“Brother Liu, it's the same if I take her.
“The car the company gave me is also very expensive.”
Liu Renzhi walked around the front of the car and told Lin Jiajun,
“You take Auntie and Huihui there. They're important people too. I'll take your sister first.”
After saying that, he stroked Keke's head.
“Keke, get in the car and go with Mom.”
“Uncle Liu, you go with Mom first. I'll go with Grandma,” Keke said.
Liu Renzhi crouched down in front of Wang Keke.
“Why? Isn't it better to go with Mom?”
Keke still refused.
“No, Mom is going to do makeup. I'll be bored. I'll go with Grandma.”
Seeing her so insistent, Liu Renzhi didn't force her.
After the car left, Lin Jiajun asked Li Suhua,
“Mom, when are you and Keke going?”
Li Suhua tapped his head.
“What's an old woman like me going to do at that kind of gathering? And you have to go to work. Don't waste your time.
“Just take Huihui there. Girls like this kind of banquet.”
“What about Keke?”
Lin Jiajun asked again.
“Brother Liu said he'd take her.”
Li Suhua thought for a while.
“It's no fun for a child like Keke to go to these banquets. Neither I nor she will go.
“You guys go.”
Lin Jiajun didn't understand. On the way, he asked Chen Huihui,
“Wife, why do you think Mom doesn't let Keke go to Auntie Su's birthday banquet?”
Chen Huihui thought more than him.
“I guess Mom is worried that there will be a lot of people at Auntie Su's banquet. She's afraid that Keke might hear something she shouldn't and get sad.”
Lin Jiajun finally understood.
“You're right. Not all those noble ladies and young ladies are as kind as Auntie Su and Siyue.
“It's better for Keke not to go.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Huihui.
“Wife, if you hear those people gossiping, don't take it to heart and don't get angry.”
Chen Huihui patted his hand.
“Don't worry. Who do you think I am? I deal with these rich ladies and young ladies every day.
“I can handle this kind of occasion.”
Liu Renzhi took Lin Wanyi directly to the Liu family's villa.
Lin Wanyi was a bit confused.
“Aren't we going to do makeup? Why are we at your place?”
Liu Renzhi opened a wheelchair for her and carried her onto it.
“Three ladies in the family need to do makeup today. We definitely have to have someone come to the house.
“I'll take you in.”
Liu Renzhi pushed Lin Wanyi directly into Liu Siyue's dressing room.
Liu Siyue happily greeted the makeup artists.
“Hurry up, hurry up. Do my sister - in - law's makeup first.
“Remember, you have to make my sister - in - law the most beautiful girl at the whole banquet.”
The makeup artists started to get busy. Lin Wanyi blushed when Liu Siyue kept calling her sister - in - law.
She couldn't help but stop Liu Siyue.
“Yueyue, just call me sister.”
Liu Siyue was very obedient. “Okay, sister. I'll call you sister - in - law after you get married.”
The makeup artists were bustling around. Liu Renzhi told Lin Wanyi,
“If you need anything, just call me or Yueyue. The banquet is still a few hours away. I'll go to the study to deal with some things first.”
Lin Wanyi nodded.
“Go and do your work. Don't worry about me.”
The Liu family's villa was full of joy.
The garden was beautifully decorated. Liu Jiannan was checking everywhere to see if there were any mistakes.
Su Jing had silently recited the lines she was going to say a hundred times.
She had never been this nervous before. She had attended and organized countless banquets of all sizes.
Only this time, she was going to solemnly introduce her daughter - in - law to everyone. How could she not be nervous?
What she didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who was nervous now.
There was also Zhou Chenyu.
She was having a tantrum in Aunt Wu's villa.
“Mom, why? Why didn't Su Jing invite you to her birthday banquet?
“Before, Liu Renzhi personally delivered the invitations to all the Liu family's banquets.
“Today, not only didn't he come, but there wasn't even an invitation.
“Is he really going to be so heartless?”
