The Unexpected Visit: Bridges Between Contrasting Worlds

Huo Zirui, accompanied by his mother Jiang Lixia, paid an unexpected visit to the Li household. The arrival of guests from the affluent Huo family left the old lady Li quite surprised, as their families had never interacted much due to the stark difference in their social standings. While occasional encounters at the market were not uncommon, a visit to their home was unprecedented.

Jiang Lixia, dressed in a stylish goose yellow dress and white heels, exuded an air of sophistication. Her son, Huo Zirui, clad in a small white shirt and blue overalls, mirrored his mother's elegance. Despite their fashionable appearance, their presence in the humble surroundings of the Li household seemed somewhat out of place.

Observing the refined demeanor of the visitors, the old lady Li couldn't help but feel a hint of awe. However, her maternal pride still asserted itself, reassuring her that her own child was the finest.

Despite the modest setting, the Li family welcomed their guests graciously into their home. The room, though sparse and dimly lit, felt crowded with the unexpected visitors.

Meanwhile, Li Chengyuan, catching sight of Jiang Lixia and her son from the window, couldn't help but admire the elegance of the woman's attire. He made a lighthearted comment to Lin Yanfen about procuring a similar outfit for her, expressing his desire for her to look even more beautiful.

Lin Yanfen, appreciating her husband's sentiment but mindful of unnecessary expenses, declined the offer with a smile. Their affectionate banter, witnessed by Fu Bao, warmed her heart despite its predictability.

As the family gathered to greet their guests, Jiang Lixia apologized for the impromptu visit, explaining that her son had insisted on seeing the newborn baby girl rumored to be born in the Li household. While Jiang Lixia playfully suggested that her son might have a crush on the baby girl, the family chuckled at the thought.

However, Huo Zirui's demeanor betrayed a seriousness beyond his years as he fixated on the sleeping infant in the cradle. With an air of solemnity, he contemplated the significance of this encounter, his expression belying his tender age and hinting at a maturity beyond his years.
