The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 285 Rare
After the program was successfully recorded, the young couple said goodbye to the staff and got into the van that had been waiting outside the museum. Gu Lanxi breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling that the air was much fresher.

When she saw Zhang Ruolan waiting in the car, she felt even better!
A sweet "Mom" made Zhang Ruolan smile, and she opened her bag and took out a jade bracelet.

"Come here, baby, give me your hand."

As soon as the cool, refreshing jade bracelet touched her wrist, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but look down at it.

It's crystal clear with a hint of purple, giving it a very elegant feel.

"It really matches your outfit perfectly~ I knew it was yours the moment I saw it."

For Zhang Ruolan, this was just a small gift given casually to make her happy.

Gu Lanxi did not refuse.

She held up her wrist, looking at it from left to right, praising it again and again: "It's not enough to just say it's pretty, it matches me so well, that's what makes Mom's eye for beauty so amazing."

For people like them, options that are simply built with money are not considered tasteful.

The key is to choose the most suitable item from a collection of luxury goods.

Zhang Ruolan was overjoyed by her praise; although she was the one giving the gift, she was as happy as if she had received one herself.

"If you like it, that's great!"

Watching the couple's live stream these past few days, she was so sweet that she was smiling all the time. She even developed a wrinkle on her face from smiling so much that she had to rush to a beauty salon for a pampering treatment before heading south looking her best.

Upon learning that she was coming, the jewelry consultant she knew in Guangzhou immediately contacted her.

First, I sent her a bunch of beautiful photos on WeChat, then gave her a detailed introduction. When I saw that she liked something, I immediately brought it to see her so she could see it in person.

The fact that Gu Lanxi and her husband went to a stranger's wedding banquet while recording a TV show has already become a local hot topic. The salesperson was also very clever, as they specially picked out this bracelet, saying that it was a perfect match for Gu Lanxi.

It wasn't the most expensive, but it still cost several hundred thousand, and Zhang Ruolan bought it without hesitation.

The salesperson had heard it from a relative, who said that Mrs. Lu especially loved buying things for her daughters-in-law. He tried it out with a "let's give it a shot" attitude, and the sale was a success. He was still a little dazed.

Zhang Ruolan dotes on Gu Lanxi and never hides it from her.

It can be said that Gu Lanxi's confidence in fully committing to this marriage is inseparable from her attitude.

They took a rare two-day break after filming the show to visit relatives in Guangzhou. Zhang Ruolan was worried that Lu Nanting was too young and didn't come here often, so he wouldn't be able to meet all the relatives and make Gu Lanxi feel uncomfortable. That's why she specially came back to accompany him.

Being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family is not easy, even if the couple is loving.

No one is more qualified to speak on this point than Zhang Ruolan.

When she first married into the Lu family, she suffered a lot of mistreatment from the collateral branches. Her mother-in-law was the same way, taking her everywhere, giving her gifts all the time, praising her in front of outsiders, and supporting her.

For decades, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never spoke a bad word about her until the old lady passed away.

Zhang Ruolan respected her mother-in-law, and then she became that kind of mother-in-law herself.

Because she understands very well how reassuring it is for a new daughter-in-law to have her mother-in-law as a support.

"You must be exhausted. You're such an honest kid. You've been a tour guide all day. Does your throat hurt? Drink some water. I made you some chrysanthemum tea."

After saying that, he handed her a brand new thermos.

Without waiting for her reply, he instructed the driver to take him to Zhang's Restaurant.

Lu Nanting then found an opportunity to call out "Mom".

While fastening her seatbelt, Zhang Ruolan hummed in agreement, then ignored him and continued talking to Gu Lanxi.

Whenever her son and daughter-in-law are present, she always puts her son behind her daughter-in-law, so that her daughter-in-law doesn't feel even a little bit that "they are the real family."

Returning to the place where she grew up, and with her younger daughter-in-law being a local, the two families could even be considered neighbors. As she spoke, she began to speak Cantonese.

It was all everyday conversation, spoken quickly and urgently. Each word, each sentence, seemed to spring from her tongue, carrying the innocence and joy of a young girl:

"Your grandparents have already gone to the hotel. Your uncle and his family have prepared lots of delicious food, and everyone in the family is very happy to see you."
No matter how old a woman is, whether she is married or has children, she will always be happy when she returns to her parents' side.

Lu Nanting is the youngest son. His maternal grandmother is 88 years old this year, and his maternal grandfather is even more advanced, living to the age of 91.

Gu Lanxi then asked about their health, and then asked who was in their family.

Zhang Ruolan has two younger brothers. After each of them got married, they each had three children. Apart from the two younger children who are in school, the four older ones either got married or had wives, and each of them had a different number of children. She truly has a large and prosperous family.

All these people will be here today. The Zhang Family Restaurant will be closed for one night to host a special family banquet, where close relatives will gather to welcome Gu Lanxi.

"Neither of us has had time to prepare gifts~ Mommy, stop up ahead for a moment."
The young couple has been staying with the production crew ever since they arrived here. They finish work very late every day and have no time to go out and buy gifts.

Xiao Jiang and his team hadn't had a vacation in a long time, so they didn't come along this time. These kinds of things require specialization, and the bodyguards couldn't do it well. The two of them originally planned to finish filming, buy some things first, and then have a meal at the hotel.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruolan came to the museum to pick them up.

Zhang Ruolan didn't stop the car, but instead smiled and pointed to the trunk, telling her that it was all prepared long ago.
Lu Nanting leaned his head against the car window, his fingers fidgeting, gripping Gu Lanxi's hand, their five fingers touching.

While kneading, he listened as Gu Lanxi asked his mother what gifts were given and who they were given to.

At that moment, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

The two women he loved most were in the car; their close relationship made him feel especially happy.

The three men, accompanied by bodyguards, arrived at Zhang's Restaurant. The young couple received unanimous praise from the elders, while the younger generation excitedly surrounded them, jumping for joy.

Being related to a big star and seeing them every day—who understands that kind of joy?

Gu Lanxi is very good at recognizing people. Once someone introduces her to someone, she can remember who is who and build a three-dimensional family tree in her mind, connecting everyone together.

Not only that, she can also tell from the conversations of others who have a good relationship with whom and who have a bad relationship with whom, and she will try her best to avoid these relationships when she speaks and acts.

Zhang Ruolan has three daughters-in-law, each of whom is a very good person. But to be fair, although the two eldest daughters-in-law are very outstanding in their respective fields, they still can't compare to Gu Lanxi.

Or rather, 99.99% of humans can't compare to her.

From birth, their talents are different, like the highest-end product, whose original data is different from most of its kind.

She's a well-rounded individual with virtually no weaknesses.

But what Zhang Ruolan admired most was not her talent, but her low-key and reserved personality.

She is very strong, but she never boasts, which is especially rare.

I sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus.

The sun was shining brightly today, the sky was exceptionally blue, and a faint trace of spring could still be felt in the air.

The moment my hair was blown by the wind, I felt like the heroine of a romance drama.

Even though I don't have a particularly outstanding appearance, and I'm not a special person, at that moment, I really felt that way.

Romance drama heroines usually have a 1V1 ending, and I also successfully found someone to have a 1V1 with. The story has even progressed from the finale to the epilogue, and we've started raising a child.

How can it not count?

Then, naturally, I recalled many sweet memories and laughed to myself.

The life of a romance novelist is also very much a romance novel.

Even the smallest, most mundane details can yield a fragment of romance that can be used to create a whole book in one's mind.

Haha (ω)hiahiahia
It's just really interesting.
