Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 537 - 536: Childhood Friends

Lin Wanwan took out two prepared red envelopes from her bag, one for each child, and handed them over: "Here, your New Year money. May you have a safe and sound new year!"

"No, no, no, don’t give it to them, no need to be so courteous, quickly put it away." Su Xiaoling and Gu Yihui hurriedly declined.

"This is for the kids, not for you sisters, why be polite?" Lin Wanwan had already put the red envelopes into the large pockets of the children’s clothes.

The two kids pulled the envelopes out from their pockets to play with them. Cash is quite rare nowadays, so the kids’ curiosity was piqued.

"Quickly say thank you to your auntie!"

The two little ones, urged by their mothers, thanked her in unison in their cute, childish voices.

"Good kids! Auntie likes good children like you!" Lin Wanwan said with a smile.

"Wanwan, let’s take some photos together. You’re a celebrity now, you’ll have to sign for us later!" The courteous back and forth ended, and Su Xiaoling pulled Lin Wanwan for some pictures.

The beauty filter on Su Xiaoling’s phone was set to slim down the face aggressively. Lin Wanwan’s face was already proportionally perfect, so the slimming effect made it look distorted, obviously over-filtered.

"Oh my, they say beauties don’t need beauty filters, and it’s true; with the filter on, people look distorted!"

Su Xiaoling looked speechlessly at the photos in her phone album and had to turn off the slimming function to retake them.

After she was done, Gu Yihui also wanted to take some pictures, and then others joined in. Everyone wanted a photo with Lin Wanwan. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, Lin Wanwan was a somewhat famous internet celebrity, so naturally everyone wanted a photo to post on social media and show off.

After satisfying everyone’s photo requests, Lin Wanwan sat down and chatted with Su Xiaoling and Gu Yihui, finding out that one is now a homemaker and the other a high school math teacher.

Despite the big difference in their professions, they both exuded a similar sense of happiness. Everyone has their own pursuits and joys.

As they were chatting, a sudden burst of laughter was heard.

"Ahahaha, you must be that Lin Wanwan, the granddaughter of the Lin Family! Oh my, you are so pretty! No wonder you have so many boyfriends!"

Lin Wanwan frowned and looked up. It was a middle-aged woman, in her fifties, very thin, with slanted triangle eyes, high cheekbones covered in brown spots, and had a somewhat harsh look.

Su Xiaoling laughed and responded, "Oh my, grandma, can’t talk like that."

The woman appraised Lin Wanwan up and down, then said with a smile, "Recently, the news has been full of you, I almost went cross-eyed watching! Wanwan, is that blue diamond of yours really that valuable? Did someone give it to you? Did you bring your boyfriend?"

Lin Wanwan sneered, feeling this person was ridiculous, and turned her head to play with the two four or five-year-old kids, ignoring her, not bothering to respond.

Among those close to the Su Family, Lin Wanwan had seen them all when she was young except for this woman, clearly an outsider, speaking so rudely. Lin Wanwan wouldn’t indulge her.

After all, Lin Wanwan had a business with twenty or thirty employees, was someone in charge, and her indifference made the older woman quite embarrassed.

Both Su Xiaoling and Gu Yihui noticed this and exchanged a glance, turning their heads back to continue talking with Lin Wanwan, completely ignoring the woman.

The woman failed a few times to join the conversation, then walked away in a huff.

Only then did Su Xiaoling quietly say to Lin Wanwan, "She’s Yanwei’s stepmother’s sister-in-law, quite a gossip."

So that was the connection, completely unrelated to Lin Wanwan, so it was totally fine to ignore her.

"By the way, Wanwan, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Lin Wanwan hesitated a bit and said, "No, it’s still early. I’m focusing on starting a business first."

Sitting nearby, Su Yanwei’s aunt, who was cracking sunflower seeds and watching TV, interjected, "Wanwan doesn’t have a boyfriend yet? I know some nice young men, want me to introduce you?"

Gu Yihui quickly interrupted, "Wanwan is so pretty, surely there are plenty of people after her, no need for introductions! Auntie, don’t meddle."

"Haha, that’s true, but it’s fine for young people to get to know each other."

Lin Wanwan gave a faint smile to Su Yanwei’s aunt: "Thanks, auntie, but I haven’t thought about it yet."

Gu Yihui quickly changed the subject, subtly nodding towards Wang Fang’s direction: "Look over there, that’s the second uncle’s wife’s daughter, just came down from upstairs. She’s spending the New Year at their place this year."

Following her gaze, Lin Wanwan saw a dark-skinned young girl, looking unhappy, being pulled outside by Wang Fang.

Su Xiaoling whispered, "Her father remarried and finally had a son. He doesn’t want to support her anymore, wants her to stop studying after middle school and work in a clothing factory. Grandma brought her over, seems like she’ll be living with the second uncle’s family now."

"But if the daughter is coming over, do Uncle and Yanwei agree?"

"Second uncle is a good man, surely he doesn’t mind. He listens to his wife the most, you see he’s busy cooking in the kitchen now."

Lin Wanwan believed that too, her uncle indeed was such a person.

"Is she doing well in school?" Lin Wanwan casually asked.

"Yanwei said she’s not doing well, if she continues studying, only a vocational school would take her."

"Not everyone is willing to support vocational school." In the village, many kids who don’t get into high school are made to go directly to work.

"Not much difference whether she studies or not, just worried about conflicts living under the same roof. Luckily she’s a girl, Yanwei doesn’t need to worry about family wealth leaving the family." Gu Yihui sighed.

Although Yongcheng is quite fair in child-rearing, when it comes to inheritance, houses and money usually go to the sons.

Moreover, she is a stepdaughter, even if Su Yanwei’s dad listens to his wife, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to give the house to an outsider.

Just then, Su Yanwei came in with his girlfriend Chen Yan.

Today was the day his girlfriend officially visited, meeting the family, making things official.

The last important guest had arrived, Wang Fang quickly came over to invite everyone: "Come on, come sit, we can start eating now."

The first floor of Su Yanwei’s house only has a storage room and a bathroom, even the kitchen is a Western-style open one.

The entire living room, dining room, and kitchen are connected, making the space large enough to easily accommodate two big round tables.

Women, children, and boys who don’t smoke or drink sat at one table, while men who like to smoke and drink, along with middle-aged women who don’t mind them, sat at another.

Su Yanwei sat with his girlfriend at the women’s and children’s table, everyone basically knew each other, no need for formal introductions.

Lin Wanwan had Gu Yihui on her left and Chen Yan on her right.
