Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 523: Chapter 523 The Future In-Laws Are Quite Cute

Aside from preparing gifts for Father Huo and Mother Huo, Yunyi also prepared a few jars of skincare cream she made herself. Whether Huo Qianjin could snatch a jar for himself was entirely up to his luck.

Seeing the eager look on his son’s face, Huo Shanhe said, ”Okay, it smells good, so let’s brew a pot.”

Huo Qianjin, having received permission, didn’t ask for help from others and happily went to brew the tea himself.

At this moment, Jiang Jingya also came downstairs. ”This outfit fits so well, I really love it!” she exclaimed.

The cultural troupe was always at the forefront of fashion. Coupled with her love for beauty, she would buy any new style she liked.

Not to mention, this outfit was designed by her daughter-in-law and was one of a kind.

Huo Weiyu stood up. ”No kidding, that outfit truly enhances your elegance. I’m even considering getting one made for myself.”

Huo Jiayuan rushed over. ”Mom, Big Sister is right, this outfit suits you perfectly!”

Jiang Jingya walked over to Huo Shanhe and even did a twirl. ”What do you think? Am I pretty?”

Jiang Jingya was always like this, and her family was long accustomed to her ways. But with their fourth daughter-in-law visiting for the first time, Huo Shanhe couldn’t help his old face from flushing. However, his wife had asked the question. If he gave a perfunctory answer, he feared he’d be sleeping in the study that night.

He cleared his throat, rubbed his nose, and steeled himself. ”This is the first time I’m seeing this style. It genuinely looks good.”

Just then, Huo Qianjin finished brewing the tea.

Huo Shanhe quickly picked up a small cup to hide his embarrassment.

His expression amused his daughter-in-law Gao Ruyi, as well as the sisters Huo Weiyu and Huo Jiayuan. None of them dared to laugh out loud. It was incredibly difficult to suppress their laughter, so they all clenched their teeth and held it in.

Yunyi was a clever person; seeing this, she quickly grasped the gist of the situation.

I quite like my future mother-in-law’s personality, she thought. It’s much better than someone who’s always nitpicking. Loving beauty is wonderful! We can team up and enjoy being beautiful together in the future.

After reveling in her own beauty, Jiang Jingya suddenly remembered it was her future daughter-in-law’s first visit. Thinking about her earlier behavior, she wished she could find a hole to disappear into. Will my future daughter-in-law get a bad impression of me? she worried. Will she ’return’ my son?

She couldn’t help but sneak a glance in Yunyi’s direction, then shot her son a pleading look, hoping he would help smooth things over.

Huo Jingrui saw his mother’s expression and came to her rescue. ”Alright, Mom, if you like it, then wear it. In the future, when the Friendship Store gets new clothing styles, remember to get a few sets for Yi’er and send them to her.”

Hearing her son’s words, Jiang Jingya replied, ”Of course! Whenever new styles come out, I definitely won’t forget.”

Then, remembering her second daughter-in-law was also present, she added with an embarrassed smile, ”It’s only proper to reciprocate, after all.”

Gao Ruyi laughed out loud. ”Don’t worry,” she said, ”I won’t be jealous.”

A moment later, the room filled with cheerful laughter.

Yunyi observed the family atmosphere and couldn’t help but smile.

This family might be a bit complex, but it seems they all get along quite well for now, she mused. Huo Weiyu, the eldest sister, and her mother—my future mother-in-law—their relationship is clearly like that of best friends; they’re so casual in how they speak and act with each other. And Gao Ruyi, the other daughter-in-law, also seems very understanding and open-minded. All in all, it’s quite harmonious at the moment. Moreover, my future in-laws are endearing. I can tell my future father-in-law pampers my future mother-in-law as if she were his own daughter. Don’t ask me how; I just know.

Yunyi then brought out the skincare creams she had made. ”These are some skincare creams I made myself. You can all try them.”

Remembering that Huo Qianjin was the only one present who hadn’t received a gift yet, she quickly added, ”This skincare cream can also be used by men. The scent is very light, practically unnoticeable.”

Gao Ruyi couldn’t help but smile. This fourth sister-in-law truly is remarkably astute, she thought.
