Chapter 1885: Different Social Backgrounds Are Sometimes No Longer a Problem

Li Xueer's original intention was that since rings have a small surface area, the price would be relatively cheaper.

Yet she was mocked by the salesperson: "Miss, rings aren't just bought casually."

Only then did she realize, and two red clouds flew onto her cheeks.

But this couldn't be blamed on her; Li Xue had never been in a relationship, and she didn't usually pay attention to these things.

But regardless, the clothes and jewelry were all bought, and Li Xueer thought the great task was accomplished, but she was reminded by Zichen that she should go get her makeup done.

Hearing the two words "makeup," she immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No, no, I will never wear makeup again; it looked like a ghost."

Zichen could only patiently explain to her: "What you had done last time wasn't right; not all makeup looks like a ghost. This time I'll take you to a place, I guarantee it will be done very well, trust me."

Li Xueer had one hundred percent trust in Sheng Zichen.

So, although she was unwilling, she still followed Zichen to a beauty salon, where the staff received them very enthusiastically.

She was first washed, had her skin cleansed, then had her hair styled and makeup done; two hours later, Li Xueer looked at herself in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize herself.

My heavens!

Is this her?

Clearly the brows and eyes were still the same, yet it seemed they weren't; she looked radiant, intellectual, and elegant.

She had originally been very satisfied with her appearance, but now she could only be even more satisfied.

It was indeed not bad, it was great, better than the last time by who knows how many times.

Zichen nodded with satisfaction: "Quite good, not bad."

The two walked out of the beauty salon and prepared to go to the Sheng Family.

"Wait a moment."

Li Xueer suddenly thought of a very important matter; she hadn't prepared a gift yet!

"No need, I've already prepared one; we can just use one for the both of us."

"That won't do."

Li Xueer was very firm; she was firmly against showing up empty-handed.

Even if she was just pretending to be a girlfriend, the gift still had to be prepared by her personally.

She had a particularly stubborn personality, which Zichen knew, so he just let her be.

Li Xueer prepared gifts for everyone in the Sheng Family; the one she gave to Grandma was a pair of Spring Shoes!

The two stepped into the Sheng Family home, and Li Xueer was immediately given a warm welcome by the Sheng Family, especially Wang Yinghao, who pulled Li Xueer's hand and kept looking her over, her face smiling like a peony flower, her mouth never closing.

Grandma kept asking: "How old is the young lady?"

"How did you get to know our Zichen?"

"What are your usual hobbies?"

"What do you like to eat..."

Grandma's questions wouldn't make anyone feel embarrassed in the slightest; they were all normal questions, and the things Li Xueer was worried about were not asked at all.

For example, family background, for example, work, for example, parents...

These questions that might make Li Xueer feel the disparity in their social status were all perfectly avoided.

She and Grandma talked very happily.

The old lady and Li Xueer actually had no generation gap; she treated her just like her own granddaughter, to the point that even Yueyue, the real granddaughter, was a little jealous.

The little one quietly asked her mother: "Mom, why is Grandma so good to that pretty big sister? She's not even paying attention to Yueyue anymore."

Yueyue had always been the family's little joy, their little sun, a princess who grew up being pampered by everyone.

Now that she saw the whole family revolving around the new big sister, she was a little jealous.

Shi Youxuan told her daughter: "You are the host of this home. Sister Xueer is visiting our home for the first time today, so she is a guest. The way of hospitality is to be thoughtful and enthusiastic toward guests; such a family is polite, and it is also a sign of a host's good upbringing."

Yueyue was unconvinced and argued: "Guests come to the house often, but it's not the same as with Sister Xueer; the guests all like me and revolve around me."

Shi Youxuan had to continue explaining: "That's because the guests who usually come to the house are too familiar; they come often, that's why they all revolve around you."

"Sister Xueer is visiting for the first time, and she is young, so it's normal for everyone to revolve around her. Don't be so difficult; it makes you look petty."

Although Yueyue didn't talk back to her mother, she had little thoughts in her heart.

She wanted to give this pretty big sister a taste of her power; a little prank wouldn't be too much, right?

It was just that before her little thoughts could be realized, they were seen through by the big sister.

The big sister pulled Yueyue into the room to lecture her, telling her she couldn't be willful; today was Grandma's eightieth birthday, and everything should center on Grandma.

If she didn't listen, she wouldn't spare her.

Although Yueyue was unconvinced, she still put away her little thoughts.

Li Xueer received a warm welcome at the Sheng Family, which allowed her nervous mood to relax; she really liked this kind of family atmosphere, a whole family gathered together, harmonious and happy, a warmth she had never experienced before.

Originally, before coming, she had worried that a wealthy family would have many rules, but after arriving, she found that her worries were completely unnecessary; the Sheng Family members were all very easygoing, and they were very caring toward her, each one of them very kind.

The banquet began, and Li Xueer's seat was arranged next to Grandma.

She was terrified and unwilling to sit there, but finally, under Grandma's repeated insistence, she had no choice but to sit down.

Everyone kept putting food into her bowl, afraid that Li Xueer would be too restrained and not get enough to eat.

As a result, she was almost stuffed to death.

After the meal, Grandma even took Li Xueer into a room alone, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Even if others weren't allowed in, everyone could guess what Grandma wanted to say.

It was just giving her something; today was Li Xueer's first time visiting, so there must be a welcome gift!

It was indeed so.

The welcome gift Wang Yinghao took out was an old-fashioned jade necklace.

Although the style was old, it was of great value and very expensive.

Li Xueer did not dare to accept it, but under the old woman's repeated insistence, she finally could not refuse and put it on.

Wang Yinghao held Li Xueer's hand and kept rambling: "I watched Zichen grow up with my own eyes. He looks easygoing, but he actually lacks a sense of security. When he was still in his mother's womb, his mother didn't take good care of her pregnancy and was out looking for his father, so his prenatal education wasn't done well..."

"That child is sentimental; once he likes something, he won't change, and he will like it for a lifetime..."

Li Xueer's heart felt icy cold.

She knew there was someone in Sheng Zichen's heart, someone he could never forget.

Does this mean that no matter what she does, it is useless?

Will Zichen not like her even a little bit?

Forget it, this is not important.

Li Xueer reminded herself: she must not lose her head and forget her place just because his family treated her well.

Between her and Sheng Zichen was an unbridgeable chasm; there was simply no way for them to be together. She could not be too greedy and had to keep a clear head at all times.

Li Xueer accompanied the grandmother out of the room, and seeing that the necklace on her neck had been changed, everyone also presented their own gifts for their first meeting.

Shi Youxuan gave a Gold Inlaid Jade Bracelet; every daughter-in-law had one. Originally, Gu Yuxin also had one, but after the two broke up, Gu Yuxin's was returned.
