Seeing that his mother was in such high spirits, Li Shi also felt joyous.
At the same time, he felt that his past efforts studying Chinese and photography now seemed to hold an extra layer of unique and tangible significance.
While Li's mother was showing off on WeChat to people back home, Chen Qiu Ye and Wang Yue Lan did not disturb her. Instead, they talked to Li Shi about the preparations for the New Year. When the elder put down her mobile phone, Chen Qiu Ye took out a large jewelry box from the suitcase on the floor.
She placed it on the coffee table and opened it.
"Auntie, this is the second gift we've prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Inside the box, Li's mother saw a pair of bangles and two necklaces, all gleaming in gold.
She was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Shi, assuming that the "we" Chen Qiu Ye referred to included herself and Li Shi: "This...?"
"Mom, please try them on. Let's see if they look good on you."
"Are they too valuable?"
