Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Witnessing His and Sang Ran’s Happiness Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Witnessing His and Sang Ran’s Happiness The two boxes contained two different types of nightgowns, one cute and one sexy.
But they were not vulgar, just a bit crafty in their design.
Sang Ran, worried that Lin Zhiyi couldn’t see clearly, took the initiative to take both nightgowns out and compare them in front of her.
Not content with comparing them herself, she also placed them on Lin Zhiyi for further comparison.
“Zhiyi, I’m so envious of you. You’re beautiful, and you have such a good figure. Everything looks good on you.”
Lin Zhiyi choked on her words, stealthily adjusting her breathing before she could smile calmly.
She instinctively pushed the nightgown away, “You would look good in it too. It’s nice to keep it and exchange later.”
“Which one should I wear first? I plan to wear it on the evening of the engagent party. Help choose, the best would be sothing that will keep Third Young Master… unable to take his eyes off .”
Sang Ran was a bit shy, but the affection in her eyes was unmistakable.
Watching her openly lavish in her happiness, Lin Zhiyi felt as if pricked by a needle in her eyes, and she imdiately lowered her gaze.
“Xiao Ran, you should ask soone else to help you choose. I can’t decide.”
“Everyone in the Gong Family is so stern. Who else could I ask? You are a designer, you definitely have a good eye.”
Sang Ran grabbed Lin Zhiyi’s hand and shook it, her eyes full of pleading.
Lin Zhiyi really couldn’t bear to refuse, so she pointed to the cute nightgown, “How about this one? It looks cute and a little bit sexy.”
Sang Ran’s cheeks reddened, “I didn’t expect your uncle to like this style.”
“I didn’t an it like that,” Lin Zhiyi explained awkwardly.
“I understand. I also think he will like it. I rember back in college, he bragged to people that I was quite cute.”
Sang Ran blinked, the feeling of happiness making her whole face glow with a soft light.
In contrast, Lin Zhiyi’s face reflected in the glass was very pale, and even the sunlight on her face seed white.
She unconsciously went along with Sang Ran’s laughter.
Anyway, it was their own couple’s little quirk, what she wore wasn’t important.
The important thing was the person wearing the nightgown.
Gong Chen liked Sang Ran.
At this mont, a servant knocked on the door.
“Miss Sang, your luggage has arrived. Do you need our help to organize it?”
“No need, I’ll do it myself. Just put it in the cloakroom.”
Sang Ran waved to the servant.
The servant nodded respectfully and carefully moved the suitcases one by one into the cloakroom.
Lin Zhiyi stood by, watching Sang Ran open the top suitcase and hang her coat next to Gong Chen’s clothes.
When she opened the accessory cabinet, she was puzzled, “Huh? Why is this here?”
Lin Zhiyi ca back to her senses and wanted to step forward out of curiosity, but she was stopped by the servant behind her.
“Miss Lin, please step aside a bit, Third Young Master said that Miss Sang’s belongings are very valuable and should not be bumped.”
The implication was that she was in the way.
Hearing this, Sang Ran quickly said, “It’s not that valuable; it’s just so bags inside, and they won’t break if dropped. Zhiyi, don’t mind it.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at the small bag slung diagonally across her, just big enough for a mobile phone.
Indeed, it was used as a phone case.
Just one cost two hundred thousand, and hers was even more expensive as both sides were inlaid with a gradient of crushed diamonds that spelled her initials.
Thinking this over, the bags in the suitcase really weren’t for Lin Zhiyi to touch.
She tactfully stepped back, “Xiao Ran, you go ahead. I’ll go back and help my mom. Call if you need anything.”
“Sure, thanks,” Sang Ran waved.
Lin Zhiyi left the room.
Just then, Sang Ran pulled out a maroon scarf from the wardrobe.
She looked at the servant, “Is this Third Young Master’s?”
The servants looked at each other, shaking their heads simultaneously, “We’ve never seen Third Young Master wear it.”
Sang Ran picked it up to have a look, slipping her fingers through a hole and laughed, “It’s torn, he probably forgot to throw it away, but this isn’t his style anyway, and it’s not cashre, not soft at all, let’s put it away for now.”
“Okay.”
Sang Ran was the future Third Madam, so the servants didn’t dare to contradict her. They took the scarf and placed it in a side suitcase.
Once Sang Ran finished up, she saw the cloakroom floor littered with her suitcases and clothes she had decided to discard.
What if Gong Chen saw it and thought she was slovenly?
“You guys help clean this up, and if you like any of the clothes, just take them down and divide them among yourselves.”
“Thank you, Miss Sang.”
The servants efficiently took away all the suitcases from the floor.
…
Lin Zhiyi returned to Liu He’s courtyard.
Liu He was arranging the guest seating.
After a cursory glance at Lin Zhiyi’s complexion, she pursed her lips: “The rest of it, I can do. Don’t make things hard for yourself.”
“It’s not hard; if I don’t do it, soone else would co to make things hard for you.”
Lin Zhiyi sat down and casually opened the booklet to check the notes.
Liu He pressed down on her hand, “Zhiyi, is it because of ?”
“Yes, so will you divorce uncle?”
“I…” Liu He hesitated while looking at Lin Zhiyi.
“Don’t worry, you and uncle finally got together, and I’m very clear about how he has treated us over the years. How could I possibly break you two apart?”
Lin Zhiyi flipped the pages, pretending to be indifferent.
Seeing that she was nonchalant, Liu He slowly said, “Zhiyi, actually before that, even I thought Lao San had feelings for you… But Xiao Ran is really nice. She’s not like Song Wanqiu. It’s not surprising that Lao San would like her. Their marriage is expected by everyone.”
Lin Zhiyi interrupted, “Mom, stop it, I understand.”
Liu He sighed deeply.
Just then, a few servants approached.
“Second Madam, the engagent party favors have arrived and require your review for signature.”
Liu He saw that Lin Zhiyi was idly staring at a page and directly pulled her up, “Co with .”
Lin Zhiyi did not refuse.
In the hall, Liu He opened one of the boxes for inspection.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at it and was slightly surprised.
The gift boxes contained not only a full set of high-end skincare products but also specially customized designer bracelets for the engagent party.
Liu He whispered, “Just this bracelet alone costs over thirty thousand, plus skincare products and so fine chocolates, each favor costs around fifty thousand.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at the two hundred favors in the hall, amounting to nearly ten million already.
And this was just for the engagent.
The delivery person handed over the checklist, “Second Madam, please review it. Everything is done according to Third Young Master’s instructions; we would not dare to be negligent.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi stiffened for a mont, her hands clenching tight.
Gong Chen was being cruel.
He was forcing her to comply while making her witness his and Sang Ran’s happiness.
Lin Zhiyi clenched her jaw tight, not wanting to reveal any weakness, but her body wavered slightly.
In the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a touch of red on a maid’s neck.
Lin Zhiyi ran over desperately and grabbed the scarf from the maid’s neck.
In an unassuming spot, she saw the stitch she had missed.
She had intended to re-knit it but then thought it would be nice to leave it as a unique mark.
Her voice trembled as she asked, “Where did you get this?”
The maid hurriedly explained, “It was thrown out from Third Young Master’s courtyard; they said anyone who liked it could take it.”
