When Shi Nian’s sister-in-law heard he wanted the wedding rings she’d recently designed, she readily stated, “Then, this ring design will no longer be available to anyone else. Your wedding rings will be the one and only on Earth!” “Thanks, Xiang Yang! How can I thank you for this?” Shi Nian said, delighted. Xiang Yang gave it a moment’s thought before stating, “Let’s just say you owe me one.”
“Sure,” Shi Nian agreed. He wasn’t afraid of how she would use that favor at all. He still had his big brother to fall back on if her request was beyond him.
Yun Liu and Miss Ding didn’t expect things to turn out like this. The other celebrities had the same idea, and the ‘female celebrities changing their looks overnight’ incident became a joke. Yun Liu wished she could stuff those two-bit celebrities who imitated her into the sewers to vent her anger.
“Miss Ding, get me that pair of rings, no matter the cost!” Yun Liu demanded through gritted teeth.
Miss Ding had been worried Yun Liu would get angry about the incident. When she heard her demand, she immediately understood and assured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get those rings! If we can’t buy them, we can have someone custom-make them for us!”
Yun Liu liked that idea and commanded, “Arrange someone to make an identical copy of the ring right away. Those women are probably racking their brains trying to get their hands on the rings right now. I have to visit the Shi family and buy them before the others do
Hearing this, Miss Ding instantly said in a happy tone, “Yes, you’re right. It’s much more reliable to buy the rings directly from the Shi family than to think of a way to get them through the sales channels. The price of this ring has probably driven sky-high now.”
Yun Liu immediately called her mother—Gu Wei—and asked her to accompany her to the Shi family.
Xu Yun was politely distant when the mother and daughter pair visited. She was a little confused when she heard what they came for, but out of courtesy, she still gave her eldest daughter-in-law a call before them.
When Xiang Yang heard her mother-in-law ask about the rings. she smiled
and didn’t even wait for her to finish speaking before uttering, “Mom, you like the rings, too? That’s great! Shi Nian contacted me and said he wished to buy a pair of wedding rings for his wife. I thought Yun Nan definitely won’t want others to wear the same ring as hers, so I told him I’ll give this pair of rings to them especially, and the rings won’t be available for sale. That way, they’ll have their very own unique rings. What do you think, Mom?”
Xu Yun was overjoyed at the news. “That’s brilliant, Xiang Yang! You’re so thoughtful! Oh, but that means you won’t be making money from the rings’ sale. Tell me how much you lost; I’ll make it up to you!”
Xiang Yang laughed and replied, “Mom, I won’t suffer any loss; I just have to come up with a new design. Shi Nian and Yun Nan finally managed to get married. We have to show them our congratulations, don’t we?”
Xu Yun nodded. “Yes, yes. You did the right thing. You’ve done well!” she approved.
The two continued to chat, and Xiang Yang set the date when she would return home with her husband and have dinner with the family, including Shi Nian and Yun Nan.
Xu Yun’s smile didn’t fade even after she ended the call. “My apologies, but Xiang Yang said she doesn’t plan to sell the rings anymore. She’s giving them to Shi Nian and Yun Nan as wedding gifts. She said they have also taken a liking to the rings!”
Gu Wei’s expression curdled slightly, and she looked at Yun Liu. Yun Liu was so jealous she almost started to cry right then and there. Gu Wei couldn’t bear seeing her upset and spoke to Xu Yun, “Yun Nan and Yun Liu are sisters, and we’ve actually always wanted Yun Liu to marry Shi Nian. Our Yun Liu is much more sensible than Yun Nan. She’s been obedient and filial ever since she was a kid—I’
Displeased, Xu Yun interrupted Gu Wei and told her, “Now see here! I don’t agree with what you’ve just said. Our Shi Nian and Yun Nan are an affectionate couple; they’re very much in love! So why are you still saying such things? You’re Yun Nan’s biological mother! From what you just said, anyone who isn’t aware would think Yun Liu is your biological daughter and that you didn’t like
Yun Nan!”
Gu Wei’s face reddened at Xu Yun’s rebuttal, but Xu Yun didn’t give her a chance to defend herself and continued, “I don’t care who’s your biological or adopted daughter. I will only treat the one my son recognizes as his wife as my daughter-in-law!”
“As for Yun Liu… I gather she’s a very good girl from what you’ve said, so she’ll certainly be able to find a good match. That son of mine is as stubborn as a mule, and only Yun Nan—bless that child’s kind heart and gentle temper—can bear with him! Our entire family has nothing bad to say about her!”
Embarrassed, Gu Wei was at a loss for words. Yun Liu held back her tears and sniffled pitifully, “Our family is thankful Auntie likes Yun Nan so much. We’re grateful you all care so much for her. My sister went missing as a child and grew up without us, so she’s quite strong-willed. Please don’t take offense if she and Shi Nian have any disagreements in the future.”
Gu Wei hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes! Don’t be deceived by her act; Yun Nan has quite the temper herself! We should know; we’re her family!”
Xu Yun’s displeasure was written all over her face as she coldly stated, “Don’t worry, our entire family has good judgment; we’ve never made a mistake. We like Yun Nan from the bottom of our hearts! It’s fine if you don’t like her. After all, she grew up without you. Understandably, there’s no love lost between you and Yun Nan.. Since that’s the case, I won’t let her return to your house and cause your family trouble in the future!”
