Chapter 131: Good Son, Pretty Young Lady
"Why? Why is it her! By what right is it always her!!"
Su Yanhua's eyes were blood‑red, looking like a mad demon, waving both hands, hysterically crying, shouting and screaming.
"My child is gone, my body is ruined, I have nothing left!"
"By what right does she... by what right is she so glorious? I'm unwilling! I'm really unwilling!!"
She shouted while pounding the bed board hard, tears mixing with a twisted expression, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Wang Juhua was startled by her daughter's sudden outburst, then was stunned by the thick, unresolvable venom in her words.
She looked at Su Yanhua's almost predatory gaze, felt a chill in her heart, and for a moment forgot to be angry, left only with an inexplicable fear.
She suddenly realized that her daughter's heart was probably already completely twisted.
"Yan-hua... you, you don't do that..." Wang Juhua tried to soothe.
"Get out! You get out!!" Su Yanhua couldn't hear anything, grabbed a pillow and smashed it toward Wang Juhua, "You all came to see my joke! You can't wait for me to die! Get out!!"
Wang Juhua, watching her completely out‑of‑control daughter, both angry and scared, finally could only stamp her foot, wipe her tears, and hurriedly leave the suffocating place.
In the room, Su Yanhua lay limp on a bed stained with noodle broth, her chest heaving violently, panting heavily.
The brief surge of strength sparked by extreme jealousy quickly faded, replaced by an even deeper sense of helplessness and destructive resentment.
She stared fixedly at the mottled ceiling, her teeth chattering.
Su Ruan and the Dragon-Phoenix Twins' glorious Full Moon scene replayed repeatedly in her mind, tormenting her already fragile nerves.
In stark contrast to Su Yanhua's hellish atmosphere, the Jiang Family Courtyard felt as if it were soaking in a honey pot.
The production of the Dragon-Phoenix Twins' Full Moon Clothes entered the final sprint stage.
Li Huijuan and Jiang Nainai practically brought out their signature Handcraft.
The bright red soft satin glowed with a gentle sheen in the sunlight; Li Huijuan handled cutting and stitching, her stitches fine and even, comparable to a sewing machine.
Jiang Nainai, wearing her reading glasses, personally wielded the needle, flying stitches across the tiny fabric pieces.
On brother Jinjin's Little Jacket, a majestic Five-Claw Golden Dragon was already taking shape; golden thread glittered on the red satin, the dragon coiled, auspicious clouds surrounded it, exuding great vigor.
On sister An'an's Little Jacket, a Colorful Phoenix spreading its wings was gradually forming; its tail embroidered with pink, gold, and jade threads, splendid and lively, surrounded by plump, opulent Peony Flowers.
"Mom, look at the dragon's eyes; if we add a dot of black line, will it look more spirited?" Jiang Nainai squinted, examining carefully.
"Ah, right! Mom, your Handcraft is truly seasoned!" Li Huijuan leaned over, praising repeatedly, "Look at the gradient of these Peony petals, embroidered as if real! When An'an wears it, she'll definitely be prettier than the doll painted that year!"
Su Ruan was occasionally helped over to check the progress, offering some minor adjustment suggestions.
For example, using softer cotton to bind the inner side of the collar to prevent rubbing the child's delicate skin, or tightening the cuffs a bit for extra warmth.
Each of her suggestions was taken seriously.
Jiang Jiaojiao and Yan Shen's procurement task was also successfully completed.
The Red Eggs were all plump and round, dyed with even, beautiful color.
The custom Longevity Noodles were distinct down to each strand.
Gift Sweets and Wedding Cakes came in a rich variety, packaged festively.
Even the items needed for the first‑birthday grasp ceremony were fully prepared: tiny Jade Seal Stamp, brand‑new Children's Book, Bronze Abacus, Wolf Hair Fine Calligraphy Brush… each reflected careful thought.
Jiang Ran was even busier, spinning around, yet his spirit was high.
He not only had to ensure the shop's normal operation, but also repeatedly confirm menus, drinks, venue layout and other details with Guoying Hotel.
He even found time, according to prior discussions, to carefully select a few Premium items from the shop.
He planned to set up an extremely elegant yet unobtrusive small display table at the banquet hall entrance, with design‑rich business cards beside it, subtly showcasing the family business.
"Ranran, if we place this here, will it be too conspicuous?" Li Huijuan worried, fearing gossip.
"Mom, don't worry," Jiang Ran explained confidently, "We won't shout, we won't push sales, just leave it quietly."
"All the guests are close friends and relatives; when they see it and like it, they'll naturally have an impression."
"This is a Brand Display; it's not shameful, it actually shows our family has taste and ambition."
Su Ruan also supported Jiang Ran's idea; she felt it was indeed a good opportunity, and Jiang Ran handled the balance well.
The day before the Full Moon Banquet, the two sets of meticulously crafted Dragon-Phoenix Full Moon Outfit were finally completed!
When Li Huijuan and Jiang Nainai displayed the two sets of little garments side by side before everyone, all gasped in awe.
The bright red soft satin was festive and dazzling; brother Jinjin's Dragon Pattern Little Jacket was majestic and spirited, sister An'an's Phoenix Pattern Little Jacket was graceful and splendid, the white Rabbit Fur Rolled Edge was soft and cute, and the matching Small Hat was the finishing touch—Jinjin's Tiger Hat bore two tiny Golden Dragon Horns, while An'an's Phoenix Crown Hat was adorned with soft pink pom‑poms.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help reaching out to gently touch the soft rabbit fur, "Tomorrow Jinjin and An'an will definitely be the most gorgeous kids in the whole venue!"
Jiang Ran looked at the two outfits that embodied the family's hard work and love, then glanced at the two little ones cooing in the cradle, unaware of it all yet about to become the absolute stars, and his heart melted completely, a strong sense of pride and happiness welling up.
He walked over, one in each hand, gently lifting his son and daughter; although his movements were still a bit clumsy, the love in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"Good boy, pretty little lady, tomorrow dad and mom will take you to eat delicious food and meet lots and lots of people who love you!"
He whispered to the two children in his arms, his tone unusually gentle.
Jinjin, held by his dad, seemed very comfortable, grinning with his toothless little mouth.
An'an blinked her big dark eyes, curiously watching dad's face just inches away.
Su Ruan stood nearby, watching the warm scene, her face radiating a happy, satisfied smile.
She walked over, gently adjusting Jiang Ran's child‑holding posture, softly saying, "There will be many people tomorrow; please take extra care watching them."
"Don't worry, daughter‑in‑law!" Jiang Ran solemnly promised, "I'll definitely protect you three, mother, tightly and securely!"
"Alright, alright, go rest quickly; tomorrow definitely won't be easy."
Li Huijuan entered carrying milk, the milk specially warmed for Su Ruan.
"Thank you, Mom, we got it!"
