The next day.
“Mom, watching TV?” Xing Zi sat next to her mother-in-law.
“Yeah, there’s something good on right now.” The mother-in-law smiled kindly when she saw Xing Zi.
Xing Zi glanced at the bracelet in her mother-in-law’s hand.
“Wow, the bracelet is so pretty.” Xing Zi said deliberately. “What kind of bracelet is this?”
“It’s jade.” The mother-in-law smiled and said.
“Is it real jade?” Xing Zi asked.
“It should be. My grandmother gave it to my mother, and my mother gave it to me.” The mother-in-law said.
“It’s an heirloom, no wonder it’s so beautiful.” Xing Zi’s eyes lit up.
“Mom, look at my ring, isn’t it pretty?” Xing Zi spread her hand to show her.
“It’s very pretty, did Ah Yao buy it for you?” The mother-in-law looked at it and asked.
“No, my mom bought it for me. As soon as my mom heard I was getting married, she bought me a set of jewelry. Look, there’s also this necklace.” Xing Zi said deliberately. “How about it, isn’t it beautiful?”
“Beautiful.” The mother-in-law smiled and replied.
“My mom is so generous. As soon as she heard I was getting married, she bought me jewelry. When my older brother got married, she also bought a whole set of jewelry for my sister-in-law.” Xing Zi deliberately mentioned her mom buying jewelry for her sister-in-law, just to remind her mother-in-law. “So, my mother-in-law and I have a very good relationship.”
The mother-in-law also understood Xing Zi’s intentions at this point.
“Mom, let me see this bracelet.” Xing Zi set her sights on her mother-in-law’s bracelet.
The mother-in-law had no choice but to take off the bracelet and let her see it.
Xing Zi held the bracelet, her heart was filled with joy.
If her mother-in-law was willing to take it off, it meant she might give it to her.
“It’s so smooth on my hand, I really don’t want to take it off.” Xing Zi said deliberately.
How could the mother-in-law agree?
This was the only memento left to her by her grandmother and mother, she couldn’t give it away.
“Xing Zi, I know you like this bracelet, but this is the only memento left to me by my grandmother and mother, I can’t give it to you.” The mother-in-law took back the bracelet.
Xing Zi saw the bracelet being taken back, and was very disappointed.
Her face was not looking good.
“But I have already prepared a set of jewelry for you.” The mother-in-law said again.
Hearing that her mother-in-law had prepared a set of jewelry, Xing Zi’s originally disappointed expression suddenly turned sunny.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.” Although she really wanted it, she still had to decline it, be humble, and be reserved.
“Yes, yes, this is a gift from me, your mother-in-law.” The mother-in-law touched Xing Zi’s hair and said.
Then she got up and went to the room to get two sets of jewelry.
“A while ago, I asked your uncle to take your father-in-law and me to the jewelry store to buy two sets. Ah Guang and his wife didn’t have a wedding banquet, so I gave them the jewelry on the day they got their marriage certificate. We originally planned to give it to you on your wedding day, but now we’re giving it to you in advance.” The mother-in-law said with a smile.
“Thank you, Mom.” Xing Zi was also excited when she saw the full set of jewelry.
The set of jewelry included a necklace, earrings, ring, and a hairpin.
“Mom, what’s in this box?” Xing Zi tried on the ring, then saw another box.
“This is a wedding gift from Ah Zheng, your uncle, it’s been kept here with me, I’ll give it to you all at once.” The mother-in-law said.
“What is this?” Xing Zi was very curious.
“Open it and you’ll know.” The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Xing Zi couldn’t wait to open it.
Two diamond rings appeared in front of her.
“Diamond rings, such big diamonds.” Xing Zi was also excited to see the white diamond rings.
“Yes, your uncle spent a lot of money on them, you should thank your uncle later.” The mother-in-law said.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm.” Xing Zi was too excited to speak, she could only nod.
Diamond rings are too powerful for women.
They were getting married and didn’t even dare to buy diamond rings, but now the diamond rings have come.

“What? Hiring a singer? Are you kidding me?” Kang Er Zheng looked at Ah Yao in front of him and asked.
“No, I’m serious. Xing Zi wants me to invite a singer to liven up the atmosphere on our wedding day.” Ah Yao said helplessly.
“That’s a bit difficult, I don’t know anyone in the entertainment industry.” Kang Er Zheng shook his head and said.
He’s a guy who hangs around in the financial world, and he’s too far from the entertainment industry.
Of course, it’s easy to pay for an entertainer.
“Let me ask around, see if any of my friends know anyone.” Kang Er Zheng said.
Although he had made a lot of money, he still lacked connections.
He doesn’t have any connections in Hong Kong.
“If we can’t find anyone in Hong Kong, then we’ll find someone from the mainland.” Kang Er Zheng thought for a while.
Find someone who will be very famous in the future, but is now a small fry, to come and sing for them.
Time flew by, and it was soon Ah Yao’s wedding day.
Kang Er Zheng had already found the singer.
This singer debuted last year, but she’s still a small nobody.
Kang Er Zheng borrowed her to perform one of her future songs.
Originally Kang Er Zheng really couldn’t think of anyone suitable, he was going to find a few students from the music departments in those arts colleges in Guangzhou to fill in.
But he met a friend who was developing over in Taiwan and talked about this artist.
The first item was to pour tea for the elders.
Kang Er Zheng was also an elder to Ah Yao, so he naturally had to be poured tea for.
After Kang Bo and his mother-in-law, it was Kang Er Zheng’s turn.
“Uncle, have some tea.” Ah Yao poured tea for Kang Er Zheng.
“Good boy.” Kang Er Zheng took the teacup and sipped a small mouthful, just as a gesture.
“Uncle, have some tea.” Xing Zi took the teacup and poured tea for Kang Er Zheng.
Kang Er Zheng took it and did the same, just sipping a small mouthful.
“May you have a happy life together and have children soon.” Kang Er Zheng gave them two red envelopes he had prepared.
“Thank you, Uncle.” They both thanked him.
Kang Er Zheng got up and left, Ah Guang and Xiang Lan sat down.
Da Lao Guang was Ah Yao’s older brother, so he naturally had to pour tea.
After Ah Guang, it was Ah Zong and Ah Chan’s turn, the couple.
“You have to treat my little brother Ah Yao well.” Ah Zong joked.
“Don’t worry, second brother, I’ll treat Ah Yao well.” Xing Zi said with a smile.
After the tea ceremony was finished, they went to the hotel to greet guests.
Many of their father’s friends and neighbors from Changsheng Street came, Kang Er Zheng saw Liang Bo, one of Kang Bo’s oldest friends, also came.
“Sister-in-law, go inside and open the red envelopes to see how much money is inside.” Xing Zi saw that most of the guests had arrived, so she told Xiang Lan and her mother-in-law.
The sister-in-law and mother-in-law took the red envelopes and went into the room.
Ah Yao’s department head walked over.
He brought his wife, who wasn’t divorced yet.
Not the one they later saw.
“Department Head, welcome, welcome.” Ah Yao hurried forward to greet him. “It’s an honor for you to come.”
“Sorry, we just came, we were walking down there, and gave the red envelopes to people down there.” Zhao Chu Chang said.
It’s unclear whether he was telling the truth or not.
“No problem, no problem.” Ah Yao replied with a smile.
“Yeah, don’t worry about the red envelopes, welcome.” Xing Zi said with a bright smile.
Zhao Chu Chang walked inside.
After they went in, Xing Zi’s face suddenly changed.
“What a bummer, I don’t know if it was a real mistake or a fake one.” Xing Zi said unhappily.
The chances of a real mistake are very small, it’s most likely that they didn’t want to give it.
Xiang Lan and the mother-in-law came out of the room after they had opened the red envelopes.
“We’ve finished opening the red envelopes, some are one hundred, most are fifty, and there are quite a few twenty and thirty.” Xiang Lan whispered.
“Since they’re so stingy, we don’t have to be so generous. We’ve opened all the red envelopes we prepared, all of them, change them all to five dollars.” Xing Zi was even more displeased after hearing this.
Xiang Lan nodded and went back inside to make the change.
