Chapter 891 She Must Have Something Extraordinary
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Wenwen handed the child over to the nanny.
Just prepare to go to my mother's house.
Today is not just an ordinary trip back to her parents' home. She is going to meet her brother-in-law who is visiting for the first time.
My younger brother has been in a relationship for a long time and is finally getting married. As his older sister, Zhang Wenwen feels both excited and a little nervous - she wonders what kind of girl her future sister-in-law will be.
When the car passed by the newly opened large shopping mall in the city center, Zhang Wenwen subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
By the way, it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed for the first formal meeting. I have to pick a gift for my sister-in-law.
She parked the car steadily in the parking lot, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked into the dazzling shopping mall.
The first floor was for cosmetics and jewelry. Zhang Wenwen paused for a moment before the dazzling jewelry counter and shook her head, thinking it was too expensive. She was afraid of putting pressure on the other person on their first meeting.
What about cosmetics? Everyone has different skin preferences, and choosing the wrong one would be embarrassing. She turned and went up to the women's clothing section on the second floor.
She was dazzled by the variety of clothes. She imagined her brother's description of his sister-in-law: "quiet, likes to read, and usually dresses simply and elegantly."
She walked through several shops with simple and fresh styles, her fingers brushing over the soft fabrics and her eyes wandering over the dresses and sweaters.
This beige cardigan is nice, the texture is soft and it looks gentle, but is it too ordinary?
That printed dress is very bright. Will my sister-in-law like something so lively? She picked it up and put it down again, always feeling that it was missing something.
Before I knew it, I had reached the living area on the third floor. The atmosphere here suddenly became quiet, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.
Zhang Wenwen's eyes were drawn to a row of exquisite scented candles and essential oils. She remembered that when she was tired from work, she would light an aromatherapy candle, and the whole room would become warm and her fatigue would dissipate.
For a quiet girl who loves reading, a beautiful aromatherapy lamp or a box of exquisite scented candles might be a good choice. They are practical, add a touch of elegance to your life, and appear tasteful without being too ostentatious.
She walked to a counter specializing in natural plant essential oils. A saleswoman greeted her warmly. After Zhang Wenwen explained her purpose, she recommended several fresh, elegant fragrance combinations suitable for young women. One featured cedar and citrus notes, refreshing yet calming; another, lily of the valley and white musk, was gentle and clean.
Zhang Wenwen picked up the small sample bottle and brought it close to her nose to take a gentle sniff. Hmm, the lily of the valley scent was good. It wasn't overpowering, like the scent of grass after rain, with a hint of sweet warmth. It perfectly matched her idea of "quiet and elegant."
She also took a fancy to a matching small ceramic aromatherapy burner next to it. It was milky white with simple gold-painted patterns, delicate yet elegant. "This is it," Zhang Wenwen decided. "Pack the aromatherapy oil and this aromatherapy burner for me."
The salesgirl deftly wrapped the aromatherapy burner with soft paper, and then placed it together with the essential oils in an off-white paper bag printed with the brand logo, and tied a beautiful bow on the outside.
Zhang Wenwen felt the heavy gift in her hand, but she felt more at ease.
This gift is not expensive, but it carries her thoughts and blessings as a sister.
She imagined the smile her sister-in-law might have on her face when she received the gift, and her steps became lighter as she headed towards her parents' home, feeling even more anticipation.
Soon we arrived downstairs.
Zhang Wenwen stopped the car.
I went upstairs happily.
Zhang Wenwen was holding the exquisitely packaged little gift box and standing in front of the familiar door of her mother's home.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
She greeted all the guests at home one by one.
"Sister, you're back!" Zhang Yan quickly stood up and greeted her warmly, "This is what I told you, Tang Qianqian."
"Qianqian, this is my sister, Zhang Wenwen."
"Hello, sister." Tang Qianqian also quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and greeted in a soft voice with politeness.
"Hey, hello, hello. Come and sit down. You're welcome." Zhang Wenwen put on her warmest smile, walked forward, and handed over the gift box in her hand. "Qianqian, right? This is our first meeting, and I don't know what you like. This aromatherapy smells quite refreshing, and I thought a girl might like it. Please accept it."
She walked the gift box forward, looking at Tang Qianqian gently, her tone natural, as if she was treating a familiar friend.
She had specially picked out the gift box. It was wrapped in elegant beige paper and tied with a bow of the same color. Inside was a bottle of white tea-scented aromatherapy that she also liked. She thought the scent was clean and gentle and it should be a good choice.
Tang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Zhang Wenwen to take out a gift as soon as she entered the door. She waved her hands quickly: "Sister, how can I be so embarrassed? You are too polite..."
"Hey, it's our first meeting, so here's a little token of my appreciation."
Zhang Wenwen stuffed the gift box into Tang Qianqian's hand without explanation, and patted her arm with a smile, "We're all family from now on, there's no need to be so formal."
Zhang Yan also laughed and joined in: "Yes, Qianqian, just accept what my sister gave you."
Tang Qianqian then took the gift box with both hands, hugged it tightly in her arms, her face flushed, and she thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, sister, I'm sorry for the expense."
"You're welcome." Zhang Wenwen looked at her embarrassed yet happy appearance, and the last bit of nervousness in her heart disappeared. She pulled Tang Qianqian to sit down again and sat next to Shen Qing. The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became warm.
That small bottle of aromatherapy, like a warm opening, quietly narrowed the distance between the two women who were about to become a family.
Shen Qing and the other three women were chatting together.
Zhang Wenwen also learned that Tang Qianqian worked at Yuzheng Group.
Because Tang Qianqian had only been at Yuzheng Group for a few days when she took a leave to give birth.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Wenwen stood up and said, "Qianqian, cousin, you guys chat first. I'll go to the kitchen to help."
Then Zhang Wenwen walked into the kitchen and closed the door.
She quietly said, "Mom, Xiaoyan is a pretty good girlfriend."
Shen Xuemei curled her lips and said, "It's good, but that girl is eight years older than your brother."
Zhang Wenwen was surprised. "What? You said Qianqian is eight years older than Xiaoyan?"
"Yes, two years older than you!" said Shen Xuemei.
"This... this shouldn't matter. As long as the two of them love and like each other, that's all that's fine."
Shen Xuemei nodded. "You're right. This girl looks good. Besides being a little older than Xiaoyan, as long as Xiaoyan agrees, I don't care."
"Yes, we can't get involved in Xiaoyan's personal feelings. He chose Tang Qianqian, which means he has his reasons, or there is something extraordinary about Tang Qianqian that attracted him."
"Yeah, okay, bring the prepared dishes to the table, we're ready to eat."
"Okay!" Zhang Wenwen came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. She had a new identity: the elder sister-in-law, so no matter whether she was older or younger than Tang Qianqian, she would always love her sister-in-law.
