Nian Shutong didn't reject Aunt Mei's kindness and cooperatively tried on several outfits. In the end, everyone voted and chose an outfit.
Aunt Mei brought out all her treasured jewelry for Nian Shutong, and instead of pretending to decline, Nian Shutong accepted all of it.
However, she gave Aunt Mei a lot of Crystal Stones, including a red Crystal Stone.
She even handwrote a copy of the Tao Te Ching for Aunt Mei.
"Xiao Tong, why are you giving this to me?"
"Trust me, read it ten times tomorrow morning. Don't think about anything, just persist."
The sincerity in Nian Shutong's eyes made Aunt Mei nod obediently and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Nian Shutong nodded and then asked, "What are you going to wear?"
"What?"
"To the banquet, what are you going to wear?"
Aunt Mei looked at Nian Shutong, confused, and said, "I don't need to attend the banquet; I don't need to go to such events."
"Why not? You're my aunt. I can bring someone with me."
