Chapter 320 Preparing for the Wedding

Shen Ruyan's expression froze. "Fine, I'll give it to you!"

Seeing Shen Ruyan open her bag and wonder what she was planning to do, Fang Li quickly stopped her.

"Mom, Mom! That's enough, you've already given me so much, you don't need to give me any more."

Fang Li secretly tugged at Han Xi, signaling him to say something for her.

Han Xi took her hand in return and said, "Mom, you'll scare Ali like this. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, no need to rush."

Shen Ruyan had already taken out her phone and was about to transfer money to Fang Li when she heard her son's words and immediately stopped.

"Too."

She glanced at the old man watching the show beside her and said, "Anyway, Fang Li is already my daughter-in-law. What's mine is hers. I'll give it to her slowly in the future."

Since her elders had given her a gift, Fang Li couldn't leave without reciprocating.

Taking advantage of the brief pause in their conversation, she quickly ran upstairs and retrieved the gift she had prepared.

The old man was pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive the teapot made by Fang Li herself. He held it in his hands and played with it with great affection.

Fang Li prepared a cheongsam for Shen Ruyan.

It was handmade by a Suzhou embroidery inheritor whom she met while filming in Suzhou when she was still in the industry.

The plain-colored fabric is embroidered with flowers and leaves of different sizes along the hem of the skirt using silk threads of different colors, which adds a touch of playfulness to the cheongsam and also nicely outlines the wearer's figure.

Shen Ruyan touched the cheongsam in the box, her face full of amazement.

"Ah Li, I really like it. You're so thoughtful."

The family sat and chatted for a while, while Aunt Rong and several servants had already prepared lunch.

The group got up and moved to the restaurant to have a meal.

After lunch, the servants prepared afternoon tea and snacks in the courtyard. Han Xi played chess with the old man, while Fang Li and Shen Ruyan took a walk by the artificial lake.

“Ali, I’m really happy that you’re with Xiujin. Xiujin has had a tough time these past few years. I’ll feel at ease knowing that you’re here with him.”

Fang Li smiled.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Mom, there's something that might be a bit presumptuous, but..."

"I know you want to ask about the relationship between Xiu Jin and his father, right?"

I didn't expect Shen Ruyan to guess it so quickly.

Fang Li pursed her lips and nodded.

Looking at the calm lake, Shen Ruyan remained silent for a moment before saying, "These are all grudges from the previous generation. In truth, Xiu Jin is just a victim."

Fang Li remained silent, listening quietly.

"Back then, Xiu Jin's father and I were focused on the company. We left him to be cared for by your grandfather when he was young. We not only paid little attention to him on a daily basis, but also flew all over the world during holidays. We cultivated good relationships with our clients, but forgot about the most important parent-child relationship."

Shen Ruyan sighed and continued, "Xiujin is a thoughtful child. He doesn't easily tell others what's on his mind. We've always treated him like an ordinary child, but we didn't know that he understands everything at such a young age."

-

Shen Ruyan and the old man stayed until dusk before leaving the villa.

After watching the two leave, Han Xi and Fang Li strolled along the path within the manor.

Fang Li took Han Xi's arm and said, "Do you know what Mom said to me today?"

"What?" There was not a trace of curiosity in his voice.

Fang Li glanced at him. "Did you already guess?"

"No."

Han Xi turned to look at Fang Li, his eyes filled with a subtle smile.

Fang Li: "Mom told me to stay with you and not leave you."

"Yes, I'll listen to my mother."

Fang Li smiled: "Mom also said that you shouldn't take her and Dad's problems to heart. The grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with us. She hopes you can be happier and live a more relaxed life."

"..."

"Mom thinks you became hostile towards Dad because of the breakdown of your marriage, but I don't think that's the case."

Han Xi paused, stopping in his tracks.

Fang Li turned around and stood in front of him, looking up at him: "You have something on your mind. The relationship between you and your father has become like this today, and it's not just because of Mom, is it?"

Han Xi remained silent.

Fang Li stared at him for a while, then sighed softly, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Whenever you want to talk, I'll be your confidante, okay?"

".......Ali."

Meeting the woman's concerned gaze, Han Xi's eyes softened, and he reached out to gently pull her into his arms.

The two stood embracing each other by the lake.

Han Xi: "Sorry."

"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" Fang Li chuckled.

Han Xi said, "Don't leave me, no matter what, never leave me."

"Okay, I won't leave."

-

After meeting the parents that day, Fang Li received several links from Shen Ruyan the very next day as soon as she started work.

"These are all the latest wedding themes. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. Mom will take care of it for you!"

Fang Li was shocked.

"Mom, Han Xi and I are already married, so there's no need to rush the wedding..."

"That won't do! You're a daughter-in-law of the Han family. How will outsiders know if we don't have a wedding? Xiu Jin must give you a grand wedding to announce it to the world!"

Seeing that Shen Ruyan was focused on preparing for the wedding, Fang Li had no choice but to ask Han Xi for help.

Unexpectedly, Han Xi was very supportive of this.

Fang Li couldn't persuade the two of them, so she gave up and let them do whatever they wanted.

She had something she needed to do right then and there.

That was the filming of Zhou Ba, the first project of Pear Blossom.

The crew of Zhou Ba recently filmed in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

After having lunch, Fang Li and Yu Tian drove to the filming location.

The filming location at that time.

Director Zhu looked at the face in the camera, which was crying and its features were all messed up, and sighed for the umpteenth time, covering his face.

The assistant director next to him also looked constipated.

"Director Zhu, how about we do another take?"

Zhu Shun said with a dark face, "Fine, let's leave it at that."

I thought to myself, with this level of skill, even ten more of these would be the same!

It's just a waste of resources and everyone's time!

The assistant director, exasperated, used the walkie-talkie to direct: "Alright, that scene's over! Production crew, get ready for the next scene!"

A large group of people were busy removing props and setting up the scene again.

Zhu Shun was sitting in a chair, rubbing his forehead and looking worried, when suddenly a scream came from outside, followed by a series of crackling sounds!

"What's wrong? What happened again?!"

The next moment, the assistant director rushed in, his face grim: "Director Zhu, come quick! Li Fan and Cheng Qian are fighting!"

"What are you doing!"

At that moment, Fang Li and Yu Tian had just driven to the outside of the film set.

The two parked their car and entered the film set, where they saw a large group of people gathered together, making a lot of noise. It didn't look like they were filming; it looked like something had happened.

Huang Yu, who had been staying on the periphery and hadn't joined the commotion, soon spotted Fang Li and jogged towards her.

"Mr. Xu, what brings you here?"

Fang Li glanced over there and asked, "What happened?"
