2198: Token of Appreciation

Token of Appreciation

"Doudou, why did you bring so many things? Your mother and I can't use them. You should take them back!"1

"Father, these are all prepared by Principal Wen. Here, take them!"

Wan Dou took it out and handed it to her father.

Both of them brought a lot of things back to their new home. Mother Wan came to open the door for them. She looked at their bags and said, "Why are there so many things? We don't lack anything at home. It's fine as long as they come back to take a look."

"It's all from Doudou's father," Wan Dehai explained with a smile. "It's a token of appreciation from Mr. Wen."

After taking her daughter into the house, Mother Wan took Wan Dou's hand and looked around. She asked with heartache, "Doudou has lost weight again. Is he not used to eating and sleeping well?"

"Mom, I'm not skinny. I've gained weight recently!"

Wan Dou looked at her mother, who was wearing an apron. There was a fragrance coming from the kitchen. She asked, "What time is it now? You're already cooking?"

"We knew you were coming back. Your father and I went to buy a lot of groceries this morning. We were planning to make a table of food for you this afternoon."

Wan Dou did not want to waste her parents' efforts and said, "Then I'm blessed."

Wan Dou felt very at ease when she returned home. She chatted with her parents about everything that she had done in the Wen family. She told them everything that was good, and she didn't tell her parents anything bad, lest they worry.

After having lunch at Bi Guiyuan, Wan Dou chatted with her parents for a while before returning to the Wen family home.

It was Li Meien's birthday tonight. When Wan Dou returned, the servants of the Wen family were already making preparations inside and outside.

The entire hall was cleared out and turned into a buffet-style banquet hall. The long table was filled with various kinds of food and drinks for the banquet.

The servants were busy going in and out. It was very lively.

The butler, Li Hou, was standing in the living room and supervising them.

After Wan Dou entered, she saw Li Meien coming downstairs. "Doudou, you're back so early?"

"Yes, of course I have to come back early for Auntie Li's birthday." Wan Dou glanced at her.

"Alright. It's an important event tonight. You have to show up on time, okay?"

"I'm going out for a styling session now. Do you want to come with me?"

"No need. I can do my own makeup."

Wan Dou went straight upstairs. Li Meien stared at her back and sneered before turning to go downstairs.

…

The evening lights were on.

There were many luxury cars parked in the garden of the Wen family mansion. The mansion was brightly lit, and many men and women in gorgeous clothes came in from outside.

Elegant music was playing in the huge living room.

The guests stood in groups of twos and threes, exchanging greetings with each other. It was very lively.

Almost all of them were friends that Wen Zhehan and Li Meien had known for many years. They were all famous people in Peijing.

Li Meien was the star of the party tonight. As the birthday girl, she wore an elegant velvet cheongsam with a string of expensive pearls around her neck. She exuded a noble and elegant aura from head to toe.

She held her husband's arm and walked through the crowd, greeting all the guests with a smile.

Many rich ladies came to support Li Meien after receiving the invitation. They did not forget to compliment Li Meien.

Not long after, a servant came to report that the Xue family had arrived.

Wen Zhehan and his wife hurried to the door to welcome them. It was Xue Zhengrong and her daughter, Xue Yating.

"Brother, long time no see. Tingting has also not seen you for a long time. She's getting prettier!"

Wen Zhehan greeted her warmly.
