As the wedding rapidly approached, Sun Lixia, Li Yanyan, and Mu Lingling tirelessly orchestrated the preparations to ensure that Li Chen and Zhang Mei's special day would be unforgettable. With the date drawing near, Zhang Mei and Mu Lingling had already settled into their new villa, a gift from Li Chen as part of their betrothal.
Mu Lingling gently urged Zhang Mei to sit down, her voice soothing. "Sit down, Mei. We'll find another dress."
Zhang Mei nervously bit her fingers, frustration evident on her face. "But Mom, I loved that dress. Why would they sell a dress I had already paid for?"
"It's okay, sweetie," Mu Lingling reassured her daughter, her tone comforting. "Tomorrow, we'll go and search for another dress. Perhaps you'll find something even more beautiful than the one before."
Zhang Mei let out a heavy sigh, the disappointment lingering in her expression. "Have you told Li Chen about this?" Mu Lingling inquired.
