"Child, you come over too!"

At that moment, Xu Huimin suddenly walked over to Shen Mengxue, took her hand, and led her into the house.

She then took out an equally generous red envelope and handed it to Shen Mengxue.

With a kind smile on her face, Xu Huimin said:

"Child, thank you for taking care of Xiao Ming in Longcheng. Auntie has prepared a red envelope for you, too."

Shen Mengxue immediately realized that the amount in this red envelope was similar to the one Lin Yanan had received earlier.

She glanced at the kind woman in front of her, then looked at Su Ming and Lin Yanan, who both had smiles on their faces.

Shen Mengxue immediately refused:

"Auntie, I can't accept this. It's not appropriate. After all, only your future daughter-in-law is entitled to this red envelope; how could I take it?"

Upon hearing this, a strong sense of appreciation flashed in Xu Huimin's eyes. In her heart, she liked this gentle, elegant, and wise girl even more.

If Shen Mengxue had accepted the red envelope right away, although Xu Huimin would still have had a smile on her face, she would have felt uncomfortable inside.

After all, you're not my future daughter-in-law, just accepting the red envelope without hesitation.

That would seem lacking in manners, even greedy.

Xu Huimin then pressed the red envelope back into Shen Mengxue's hand, insisting she accept it.

Lin Yanan, smiling, also said:

"Dear, just accept it. It's a token of mom's regard. You're my best friend, and you came all this way with me; don't refuse it!"

Su Ming helped persuade as well: "Boss lady, just take it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengxue turned her head and met Su Ming's sincere and admiring gaze.

She then accepted the red envelope, but there was a glint of tears at the corner of her eyes.

At that moment, Shen Mengxue thought of the past ten years ago.

It was the first time she had gone to Zhang Biao's rural hometown.

Zhang Biao's mother had a reluctant look on her face and only gave Shen Mengxue a red envelope with 288 yuan.

Plus, earlier at the door, seeing Lin Yanan happily accepting a big red envelope.

She compared these two scenes in her heart, although outwardly still happy and joyful.

But inside she felt a mix of emotions, including regret and lament for the quietly passing youth of the past decade.

Back then, she thought, if only she had met Su Ming sooner, everything would have been so beautiful!

Just as the bitterness and sorrow in Shen Mengxue's heart grew stronger.

She didn't expect Xu Huimin to call her into the house and give her a red envelope of the same amount.

Although this red envelope didn't mean she would be a daughter-in-law, Su Ming's glance.

Implied: "Dear, this is from my mom, who is also your mom, so just accept it graciously!"

Thinking of all this, tears of joy and happiness streamed down Shen Mengxue's face uncontrollably.

"Dear, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yanan came over, took Shen Mengxue's hand in her palms, and asked softly.

Su Ming seemed to see through what the boss lady was thinking, and smiled warmly.

He said directly: "Yanan, the boss lady might be thinking of her past, after all, a jerk hurt her before."

Shen Mengxue froze upon hearing this.

She then looked at Su Ming's gentle, handsome face, and a warm flow surged in her heart.

Afterward, the hot tears keep falling from Shen Mengxue's eyes, and she started crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

Seeing this, Lin Yanan's lovely face showed a pained expression and quickly pulled the boss lady into her arms.

As she gently caressed the boss lady's head and patted her shoulder, she spoke softly:

"Dear, it's okay! All those bad memories are in the past. Now, you still have me? Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

At that moment Su Ming saw the boss lady looking so pitiful, he really wanted to hold her and comfort her.

Upon hearing Lin Yanan's comfort and thinking of her current relationship with Su Ming.

Feelings of guilt surged in Shen Mengxue's heart, making her cry even harder.

After all, on one side was her good friend, and on the other her most beloved man.

She couldn't just abandon either of them, it suddenly made Shen Mengxue feel difficult to decide.

Maybe the best state is like this, not clarifying her relationship with Su Ming.

In this way, it would be beneficial for everyone, Shen Mengxue thought to herself.

A while later, Su Ming drove Xu Huimin, Lin Yanan, and Shen Mengxue towards the county town.

Upon arriving, they went directly to the biggest jewelry store in the area.

Then Xu Huimin spent forty thousand yuan to buy two clover-shaped gold necklaces.

She then handed one to Lin Yanan, and then intended to hand the other to Shen Mengxue.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengxue felt incredible and hurriedly refused:

"Mom, I really can't take this necklace!"

Su Ming said with a smile: "Boss lady, just accept it. Since you took the red envelope, this gold necklace is no different from that."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengxue felt a panic inside, thinking to herself:

"This Su Ming, how can a red envelope and gold jewelry be the same? What if Yanan misunderstands, then what?"

To her surprise, Lin Yanan thought Su Ming was making sense.

Lin Yanan smiled and said:

"Dear, Su Ming is right, a red envelope and a gold necklace are similar. You're my best friend, so it's okay to accept it too."

Originally, Xu Huimin hadn't prepared a necklace for Shen Mengxue, but Su Ming had secretly come over earlier insisting they prepare one for her.

This puzzled Xu Huimin, and she began to have doubts in her mind:

"Could what this boy said on the phone be true? Does he really intend to marry two wives? That won't do, people will call him a jerk behind his back."

Little did Xu Huimin know, Su Ming really had no choice but to be this jerk.

After all, in his heart, women like Lin Yanan, the boss lady, Zeng Jia, Wu Guizhen, and Feng Shu.

They were all so good to him, and so perfect, should he abandon them all, wouldn't that be the act of a jerk?

Su Ming felt that accompanying them, and protecting them.

Couldn't be considered being a jerk, instead, it should be seen as philanthropic, as a gentlemanly responsibility!

Back home, it was already nighttime, Xu Huimin had called over Su Ming's eldest aunt, second aunt, and grandpa.
