Chapter 188: She Is Your Sister-in-Law
“By the way, is your wedding going to be Chinese or Western style? Do you want to prepare a wedding dress?”
Xu Wanwan opened the picture to take a look. The model with exquisite facial features was wearing a white wedding dress, looking dreamy.
She had always resisted marriage, but when she saw the appearance of the wedding dress, she could not help but be moved for a moment.
There should not be any girl who could resist a wedding dress…
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Wanwan finally remembered that the wedding prepared by the Li family seemed to be Chinese-style.
After all, many places in the house had already been decorated with bright red accessories. There was clearly still a week left, but the entire house was filled with a jubilant feeling.
The light in her eyes dissipated and she replied, “The wedding is Chinese-style. When the time comes, they should be wearing Xiuhe* clothing.”
Lin Jianan said, “A Chinese wedding is also very good. It means that the Li family values it very much. Think about it. In ancient times, weren’t there phoenix crowns and wedding gowns with ten miles of red makeup**?”
“Wait a moment. I’ll help you take a look at a Xiuhe. I’ll definitely find someone you’re satisfied with!”
Xu Wanwan felt helpless. “Why do I feel that you’re more excited than me?”
If the person she was getting married to was Lin Jianan, that would be ridiculous.
After a while, Lin Jianan sent a few photos of the Xiuhe dress. “You’re clearly too calm, okay? Marriage is such an important thing, yet you’re not excited?”
Xu Wanwan opened the photos and looked at them seriously. She could not help but think of how she and Li Jingran would be dressed in the Xiuhe dress.
Her face gradually blushed. She pursed her lips and saw that her phone had been switched off.
After dinner that night, Li Jingran carried her to the sofa and said in a low voice, “Something came up at the company. I might be away on business for a few days.”
Xu Wanwan blinked. “All of a sudden?”
“There’s a problem at the branch company. I need to solve it.” Li Jingran looked at the girl lovingly and then joked, “Why? Will you miss me?”
“No, I won’t.”
Xu Wanwan turned her head to cover the blush on her face. “Anyway, it’s good that you’ll be back on your wedding day.”
Li Jingran chuckled and patted the girl’s head.
“How could I forget such an important thing like the wedding?”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “Is the place you’re going far this time? Let me help you pack some clothes.”
“No need.” Li Jingran pulled her back into his arms. “I have to go back to the old mansion tomorrow.”
Xu Wanwan looked at him with a puzzled look.
“The two elders still want to express their opinions about our marriage,” Li Jingran said helplessly.
The two elders had been calling him nonstop for the past few days. He could not stand it anymore, so he decided to go back.
Xu Wanwan thought of what Lin Jianan said and smiled understandingly. “This shows that the two elders value our wedding very much.”
“Then let’s rest early tonight and go back early tomorrow.”
Li Jingran did not answer. He only used his actions to prove his thoughts and directly carried the petite girl upstairs.
The next day, Xu Wanwan and Li Jingran went to the Li residence early.
On the way, Father Li had something to ask Li Jingran to go upstairs to talk, so Xu Wanwan waited downstairs alone, bored.
Mother Li pulled her to talk for a while. Then, she suddenly took out a jewelry box from behind and stuffed it into her hands. “Since you’re already the daughter-in-law of the Li family, I’ll give this heirloom jade bracelet to you.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned for a moment. She looked at the purple orchid jade bracelet in the box that had an excellent color and texture and was a little surprised.
Mother Li actually gave all the heirloom jewelry to her?
“What are you waiting for? Try It on.”
Xu Wanwan came back to her senses. She turned to look at Mother Li and smiled. “Thank you, Auntie.”
This was too expensive for her. However, if she did not accept it, it would not be suitable.
She simply put on the bracelet generously and admired it carefully. This kind of jade bracelet that had been passed down from generation to generation was indeed a treasure. It looked very dignified on her wrist.
Only then did Mother Li nod in satisfaction. “I’m relieved. From now on, as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you just have to live well with Jingran.”
They did not have very strict requirements for their daughter-in-law. Once she was confirmed, they would treat her well.
Although they were very opposed to it before, compared to Zhou Lin, who had given birth before, Xu Wanwan was still much better.
The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up slightly. She knew that Mother Li had truly recognized her.
From now on, she could finally be together with Li Jingran in a legitimate manner.
The two of them were happily chatting when a familiar unruly voice suddenly came from outside the hall—
“Mom, Dad, I’m back!”
Mother Li was delighted when she heard this voice. She quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
“Little brat, you haven’t been home for months. Why did you suddenly come back today?”
Li Xuyi’s attention was not on Mother Li. He looked directly at Xu Wanwan who was sitting at the side. “I’m here to look for Xu Wanwan.”
He had just gone to the Li residence and heard from the Butler that Xu Wan had gone to the old residence. That was why he had followed her here.
Mother Li rebuked, “You haven’t been back for so long. Why are you looking for your Sister-in-Law the moment you came back?”
Li Xuyi froze and immediately asked, “What did you say?”
Mother Li guessed that Li Xuyi still did not know about Xu Wanwan and Li Jingran. She smiled mysteriously and said, “Look at what Little Xu is wearing.”
Li Xuyi subconsciously looked at the bracelet on Xu Wanwan’s hand. He frowned and said, “Mom, didn’t Grandma pass this to You?”
“Yes, and now I’ve passed this bracelet to her. What do you think this means?”
Li Xuyi stood rooted to the ground in disbelief. It was as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He repeated, “What are you saying?”
“You still don’t understand?” Mother Li Glared at him. “Little Xu and your Brother’s wedding date has been set. She’s going to be your Sister-in-Law soon.”
Li Xuyi was not a fool. When he saw the bracelet on Xu Wanwan’s hand, he was already suspicious.
But he did not dare to admit it.
He did not dare imagine that Xu Wanwan would be marrying Li Jingran.
He really could not accept hearing Mother Li admit it with his own ears.
Li Xuyi completely lost his mind. He suddenly went forward and grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm without caring about anything. “I have something to tell you!”
Xu Wanwan was suddenly pulled up by him and followed him out in a daze.
Mother Li shouted from behind, “It’s almost time to eat. Come back soon.”
Li Xuyi only stopped when they reached the corner of the backyard. He raised his hand and shook Xu Wanwan’s arm away. He asked coldly, “Are you going to marry Li Jingran?”
Xu Wanwan was hurt by his rude actions and her tone was not very good. “Is there a problem?”
Li Xuyi’s parents had already agreed to let them be together. Did she have to make Li Xuyi agree?
Li Xuyi looked at her disdainful attitude. It was as if a thorn had pierced through his heart. His voice was hoarse. “Xu Wanwan, are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Don’t you know that I like you?”
