Coco immediately climbed onto the sofa, sticking out his little behind as he stood behind Li Wanqing, playfully patting her back.
Li Wanqing felt a moment of daze.
She had always longed for such an adorable pair of grandchildren to gather around her, enjoying the joy of family. In this moment, it seemed like her wish had come true.
The current Ding Ding was cheerful, lively, and likable. It turned out he wasn’t as reserved as she thought, and he enjoyed interacting with other children.
She decided that she should encourage Xiao Xiao to interact more with Ding Ding in the future.
Master bedroom on the second floor.
Shen Mei was radiant, her eyes shining brightly and her eyebrows dancing.
Today, Li Zhenting took her to the temple to pray and consulted with the monks about an auspicious wedding date. He also took her to see wedding dresses.
Her dream of becoming Mrs. Li was finally within reach!
Li Zhenting had mentioned that they would get married at the end of the year after their engagement, and he was planning a lavish and grand wedding for her.
These days, she had been diligently pleasing Li Wanqing, and she had even changed her attitude towards Ding Ding from impatience to motherly care. She had finally endured to this day!
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She glanced down and saw that it was a call from Wu Lili. A disdainful and mocking smile curled at her lips.
This Wu Lili, at only twenty-two, had married a middle-aged man. The Shao family’s status had declined, and it could barely be considered a prestigious family. However, compared to the Li family, they were worlds apart, not even on the same level.
Nevertheless, even though she looked down on Wu Lili, she wouldn’t refuse to interact with her.
After all, in Wu Lili’s company, she always felt superior, which she found gratifying.
“Hello,” she answered the call, her tone light and airy.
She wanted to use this opportunity to share her good news about Li Zhenting’s proposal and flaunt her identity as his fiancee.
“Mei Mei, it’s me, Lili,” Wu Lili’s tone was still placating, but there was a hint of something different and eerie.
Shen Mei furrowed her brows slightly and asked with a condescending tone, “Lili, is there something you need?”
“Mei Mei, are you still living at the Li residence?” Wu Lili asked in a hushed voice from the other end. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
“Of course, I’m at home,” Shen Mei’s fingers toyed with the large diamond ring on her hand. She intentionally complained, “Ah, I’m so exhausted today. I went with Zhenting to the temple to choose an auspicious wedding date, then we went to Ding Sheng to see wedding dresses. I’m really worn out. If you have something to say, please get to the point.”
Ding Sheng was a wedding dress store exclusively catering to the elite, and the upper echelons of society in the capital always chose their dresses from there.
Shen Mei’s tone carried a clear sense of flaunting and arrogance.
On the other end, Wu Lili hesitated for a moment before jealously asking, “Has Li Zhenting finally agreed to marry you?”
“What do you mean ‘finally agreed to marry me’? Can’t you speak properly? Let me tell you, he proposed to me on his own initiative. I was still considering whether to marry him or not,” Shen Mei retorted, full of arrogance and displeasure.
Whether to marry or not? Who was she trying to fool? Back then, even jumping off a building hadn’t earned her a place in the Li family. She had only managed to enter thanks to Ding Ding. During these years in the Li family, she hadn’t achieved anything significant.
A woman who had a child out of wedlock and stayed in a man’s house magazines and media ridiculed her constantly. Yet here she was, showing off in front of her. It was truly laughable.
However, Li Zhenting was finally going to marry her. That alone was enough to make Wu Lili envious, jealous, and resentful.
The Li family was no ordinary prestigious family; it was among the top echelons of the elite. With Li Zhenting’s youth, handsomeness, and being the sole heir to the Li family, no matter which aspect you considered, any woman would envy and strive to attach themselves to him.
She was truly fortunate!
“Oh, congratulations then,” Wu Lili’s tone was laced with a sour note.
“Oh well, there’s nothing much to congratulate,” Shen Mei replied lightly. “I’ll send you an invitation when the time comes. You can come and witness this spectacle.”
“Sure, sure,” Wu Lili smiled.
Although she had known Shen Mei for a long time, she had never had the chance to visit the Li Manor. It was said to be like a wealthy kingdom, adorned with gold and gems everywhere. If she had a chance to see it, that would be great.
“Alright, I won’t keep you. We have some guests at home today, so I’m busy. Goodbye.” Shen Mei had flaunted enough and didn’t wait for Wu Lili to respond. She hung up arrogantly.
“…” Wu Lili was about to speak again, but all she heard was the beeping sound of a disconnected call.
Holding her phone, she pondered with a contemplative gaze.
Today, she had intended to call Shen Mei and inform her about Shen Ning’s two illegitimate children, especially the little boy who looked exactly like Li Zhenting. It was highly likely that the child was Li Zhenting’s.
However, Shen Mei’s haughty attitude and indifference made her change her mind.
Humph, Shen Mei, who are you to be so arrogant in front of me!
Let me tell you, if Shen Ning’s two illegitimate children are indeed Li Zhenting’s, then the consequences… She couldn’t help but smile maliciously, a sense of vindictive satisfaction welling up within her.
She would watch from a distance, biding her time to play her cards at the right moment, seeking the greatest benefit!
