Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 250 - 251: Wedding Gift

Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Wedding Gift
Lin Xiang first went back home, locked her bicycle in the yard, and then took the gift she brought for Yang Lihua to the Yang Family.
As soon as Mrs. Yang saw Lin Xiang, she warmly greeted her, "Oh, you’re here, girl! Lihua’s such a child; she insisted you stay even though she knew you had things to do. Is she not holding you up?"
Lin Xiang laughed and said, "Lihua and I are friends after all. For such an important event as her wedding, there’s no way I wouldn’t come if I knew about it. Auntie, I’d like to see Lihua first."
Mrs. Yang pointed to Yang Lihua’s bedroom window, "She’s in her room. Go on and keep her company. Auntie’s busy today, so I can’t entertain you properly. Make yourself at home, just like you’re at your own house, don’t be too formal."
Lin Xiang agreed and entered Yang Lihua’s room.
When she entered, the not-so-small bedroom already had three people in it, chatting animatedly around Yang Lihua, who was sitting on the bed.
Yang Lihua was the first to see Lin Xiang, her smile, already present, became even brighter upon seeing her, "Lin Xiang, you’re here! Come over and have a seat!"
Lin Xiang walked straight to Yang Lihua and handed her the items in her hands, "These are gifts I brought you from Beijing. There are a few things you might find useful."
Hearing that the gifts were from Beijing, a few female classmates urged Yang Lihua, "Lihua, open it quickly! We also want to see what gifts from Beijing look like."
Yang Lihua looked at Lin Xiang with slight embarrassment, "Lin Xiang, can I open them?"
"Of course you can." Lin Xiang smiled and said, "They’re your gifts, after all."
Yang Lihua, with an excited heart, opened the gift bag from Lin Xiang and first took out a diamond hair clip.
The clip was designed in the shape of a flower, with diamonds encrusted on every bud, feeling heavy and substantial in hand.
The second gift was a red hair tie, similarly adorned with a few small flowers inlaid with rhinestones, though a bit smaller.
The third gift was a pair of earrings, plain pearl earrings that made one’s skin appear whiter.
The fourth gift was a box of snowflake cream; the fifth, a lipstick; the sixth...
Lin Xiang gave Yang Lihua small items, each one hitting right at her heart.
At this age, how many girls are there who don’t love beauty?
Yang Lihua first picked up the diamond hair clip and pinned it behind her ear. Lacking a mirror, she could only ask her friends beside her, "Does it look good? Does it look good?"
"It’s beautiful!" Her friend’s eyes sparkled, "I’ve never seen such a pretty hair clip. Lin Xiang, this must be expensive, right?"
"I saw it at the department store and thought it suited Lihua, so I bought it for her. It’s not that expensive, as long as Lihua likes it."
"I love it, I really do!"
Though she only had one head, she not only clipped the hair clip but also tied the flower.
She also put on the earrings, and her original lip color was replaced by a soft pink, making her look as fresh as a dewy flower.
"Lin Xiang, you’re so nice," Yang Lihua said, lightly swaying Lin Xiang’s arm.
She was happy for the gifts Lin Xiang gave her, but more importantly, was that Lin Xiang cared about her.
If she hadn’t been thinking about her, why would she buy gifts for her from afar in Beijing? Lin Xiang clearly had important matters to attend to on this trip back but didn’t forget to bring her a gift.
Yang Lihua, easily moved to tears, already had reddened eyes at this point. She sniffled, "I thought you didn’t want to be my friend anymore."
"How could that be?" Lin Xiang retorted, "Or is it that once you’re married, you’re planning to cut ties with me?"
"Of course not! You’ll always be my good friend!"
She and Lin Xiang were both victims of Wen Siyuan’s schemes, making them sisters in hardship. With that scoundrel Wen Siyuan as a bond, they would be lifelong friends!
Besides, Chen Qiqiang’s family was just in town. After marrying, Yang Lihua naturally had to move into town, bringing her closer to Lin Xiang.
As Lin Xiang and Yang Lihua chatted, the other three girls whispered among themselves. After a while, one of them plucked up the courage and spoke, "Lin Xiang, can we ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm?" Lin Xiang looked at them and politely asked, "What do you need me to do?"
The girl pointed to the hair clip in Yang Lihua’s hair, "This is really pretty. Our town’s supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t sell such beautiful hair clips. They must only be available in Beijing. Lin Xiang, can you help us buy one when you return to Beijing? We can give you the money in advance."
"Sure thing. Do you want the same design, or do you want different ones?"
"Are there different ones?"
"When I bought it, there were two designs. I thought Lihua might like this one more, so I took it. If you want different designs, I can keep an eye out for you. But I have to say, once I buy them, you guys should choose peacefully and not fight over them."
The three nodded quickly, "How much does it cost? We can give you the money."
"Eight yuan."
"How much?"
Four people, including Yang Lihua, spoke in unison.
Yang Lihua hurriedly took off the hair clip and stuffed it into Lin Xiang’s hands, "Are you crazy, just giving away something so expensive?"
Eight yuan was indeed not cheap, but for Lin Xiang, who already owned three properties and was still a ten-thousand-yuan household, it was nothing.
Moreover, Yang Lihua was the first friend she made after arriving, so Lin Xiang was willing to buy her a gift.
"No, no, it’s too expensive."
The three female classmates exchanged glances and gave a helpless smile.
They had expected the price to be two to three yuan. Though a bit expensive, they could manage to come up with it.
But a single hair clip costing eight yuan was a price they couldn’t afford.
"Lin Xiang, thank you, but this hair clip is too expensive for us."
The female classmate spoke openly, without embarrassment about not having enough money.
"No problem. This hair clip has a lot of rhinestones, so it’s naturally a bit more expensive. The department store in Beijing also has relatively cheaper ones for two to three yuan. If you need, I’ll keep an eye out after I return to Beijing."
"Really? That would be great! Our budget is around three yuan, so you can buy based on that price. Lin Xiang, thank you in advance."
"No problem, it’s no trouble at all."
The distance between the girls, all around the same age, was closed significantly because of a single hair clip.
These three girls were Yang Lihua’s high school classmates and didn’t know Lin Xiang.
