"I will never apologize to An Nuan even if I die!" Gu YanXuan was making a huge fuss in the lobby.
"I'm not joking with you." Gu Yan Sheng didn't even listen to Gu YanXuan's explanation at all.
"Why did she hit me but you want me to apologize to her! She should apologize to me!"
"Just because she didn't hit you, you deliberately fabricated the facts." Gu Yan Sheng enunciated every word.
"She really hit me! Why don't you believe me, she and Xia Qiqi really beat me together!" Gu YanXuan's eyes were already red with anger.
"An Nuan is knowledgeable, gentle and considerate, she couldn't possibly hit people."
"She hit me! She really hit me!" Gu YanXuan threw a tantrum in the lobby, probably not expecting that her own brother would not believe her.
"I don't want to keep listening to your yelling and shouting, you must go and apologize tomorrow!"
"I won't!"
"Gu YanXuan! Do you want our family to go bankrupt?!"
"Then go bankrupt!" Gu YanXuan said unreasonably.
Ni Lan could probably also hear it clearly, she shouted at her daughter, "Xuanxuan, if you continue to be so unreasonable, I will be angry too."
"Mom, why don't you just believe me!"
"I don't care if it's true or not, anyway, go and apologize to An Nuan tomorrow!"
"Mom!" Gu YanXuan was forced to tears.
"Even if An Nuan really hit you, so what! For our family right now, marrying An Nuan is the most important thing. Since you provoked her, you must appease her. After the marriage, you can bully her however you want, but before the marriage, you must pretend even if you have to act. "
Gu YanXuan felt so aggrieved that she kept crying.
"Xuanxuan, you are not young anymore, you must also prioritize the big picture. Don't worry, even if you apologize to An Nuan tomorrow, your mother can still help you regain the upper hand."
Gu YanXuan was completely unreceptive, she just kept crying and crying.
"Tomorrow is Li YaJu's 50th birthday. I will make Li YaJu lose face completely." Ni Lan comforted, "Let her daughter bully my daughter, and I will bully her."
Gu YanXuan wiped her tears and asked, "How will you bully her?"
"Li YaJu has always had poor taste in clothes. I will dress up grandly and steal all the limelight from her tomorrow. Think about it, Li YaJu and I will be in-laws in the future, we will be compared, and when there is too much gossip, what face will Li YaJu have left. I don't even know how Li YaJu dares to host such a grand 50th birthday banquet!" Ni Lan said disdainfully.
In high society,
male superiority and female inferiority are very prominent.
Li YaJu being able to hold her own 50th birthday banquet actually made Ni Lan jealous.
She has always had a very high status in the socialite circle.
Outwardly she has a loving husband, a capable son, and a well-behaved daughter. All the noblewomen flatter her and she holds herself in high regard.
But even so, she has never had her own birthday party since getting married, nor has she ever hosted a grand high society birthday party in her husband's name. Yet Li YaJu, who has always had no status in the socialite circle, now has this scale of birthday, which made her very unhappy.
Tomorrow.
She will let Li YaJu know that without that status and beauty, don't embarrass yourself!
...
The next day.
In the afternoon.
Right after lunch.
A lot of people suddenly came to the An family villa lobby.
Li YaJu was a little surprised.
After all, she had not told Li YaJu about tonight's birthday party.
Li YaJu looked at the staff in bewilderment.
"Aren't we going to celebrate with Dad tonight? I was going to surprise Dad." An Nuan had already thought of the wording ahead of time.
"You girl, we have birthdays every year, what's there to surprise. Don't scare your father later."
"How could that happen?" An Nuan was a little unhappy and said, "Anyway, we have to follow them now to get beauty treatments, then change into evening gowns, put on makeup."
"Just know to make a mess."
"Hurry up." An Nuan urged her mother to follow the staff.
"Aren't you going to get done up too?" Li YaJu asked.
Often there were also beauticians who provided door-to-door services, and An Nuan used to accompany her before.
"I don't need it, I'm naturally beautiful." An Nuan joked.
Li YaJu also smiled until her eyes narrowed, "You girl, really shameless!"
"Go ahead, I'll come with you later to change your evening gown."
"Alright, alright." Li YaJu couldn't resist her daughter and left with them.
As soon as Li YaJu left, An Nuan immediately notified the staff decorating the banquet hall to come to the villa to prepare the venue. At the same time she called her father to get ready.
After busy for most of the afternoon, everything was orderly according to the timeline. Only then did An Nuan go to her mother's room.
At that time, Li YaJu had just finished her beauty treatment and came out.
Her face and body looked smooth and tender, clearly still like a young girl.
"Mom, how do you take such good care of your skin?" An Nuan unabashedly praised.
"This is really the best skin for someone my age. We've done it." The staff quickly flattered, "If I didn't know your age, I would suspect you were at most 30 years old."
"You kids just know how to sweet-talk." Li YaJu was a little shy.
"Really, I'm not lying to you. And not only does auntie take good care of her skin, but she also keeps her figure well. From the back, she really looks like a young girl."
"It's not as good as you all say." Li YaJu's face was a little red.
An Nuan felt her mother was so adorable.
Her father was so lucky marrying her mother, he would never regret it for life.
"Have you changed into your evening gown?" An Nuan asked the staff.
"I will change auntie right away." The staff quickly replied.
At this moment.
They took out a long black evening gown, the dress was dotted with scattered sequins all over, at a glance it looked like the twinkling stars in the Milky Way, beautiful and dazzling.
"Isn't this dress a little too luxurious?" Li YaJu was a little surprised when she saw the evening gown.
"It has to be luxurious to captivate Dad's eyes and not let them wander."
"Old couples shouldn't care about captivating each other." Li YaJu was a little repulsed, "Change to something simpler, don't scare your father."
"I personally designed this dress." An Nuan suddenly said.
Li YaJu softened a little at that moment.
She knew An Nuan had loved designing since she was little, and was extremely talented, but to keep a low profile, the family had never exposed the fact that An Nuan had even won international awards. Seeing An Nuan look a little disappointed now, she couldn't refuse.
"Mom, will you please wear it?" An Nuan coaxed.
Li YaJu had no choice, smiled and said, "My daughter personally designed it, of course I have to wear it."
The staff then went to change her into the evening gown.
The moment she came out wearing the evening gown.
An Nuan was truly stunned by her mother!
That perfect figure, coupled with the charm unique to mature women.
It was clearly noble and elegant, yet exuded thousands of styles.
