It seemed that Le Wan didn’t understand her hint. She didn’t do as she wished and continued to explore what “those people” she was talking about were. She only smiled at her.
Serena paused for a moment, then changed the topic.
“ I heard from Emma that your family is from country Z, right?”
Le Wan nodded. ‘Yes, we’re from country Z. It’s our school’s summer break now, so we’re here for a vacation.”
“Z country is an ancient and mysterious country. I’ve always wanted to go there to explore its cultural history and scenery, but I never had the chance to go there, so I’m very regretful.”
Serena looked at Le Wan, her eyes full of excitement.
“Since I’ve met you guys today, you can tell me more about country Z For example, the silk and embroidery that I’m particularly interested in. They’re so beautiful. I can’t imagine how powerful a person must be to be able to weave such beautiful and realistic works with just their hands.”
Serena gestured and said,
“Do you know what I mean? They’re like paintings, no, perhaps these skills are even more difficult than paintings. The only thing they have in common is that they’re all great works of art.”
Looking at Serena’s excited expression, as if she was really interested in this topic, Le Wan made a comment in her heart. This was obviously a girl who knew how to conduct herself better than Emma, had better social skills, and was better at hiding her emotions and acting.
There were only two reasons why such a person would follow Emma and be willing to be ordered around by her. One was that she really liked Emma and treated her as a good friend, so she was willing to do a lot for her. Secondly, her family was not as well-off as Emma’s, and she had other plans for Emma’s family, so she was willing to support Emma.
Hearing Serena’s endless praise of Z country’s silk and embroidery, Le Wan also pretended to be proud of it.
“Really? I didn’t expect to hear someone in such a strange country appreciate our silk culture. Speaking of which, there’s a silk item in my luggage. It’s a scarf.”
“Originally, I was worried that the weather here would be cold sooner or later, so I specially brought it over. However, the weather in the town had been good for the past few days, so I haven’t had the time to use it, so it’s still basically brand new. If you don’t mind, I think I can give it to you as a gift to bear witness to our friendship.”
Serena pretended to be extremely surprised. She covered her mouth and exclaimed,
“Really? Can I really have this gift?”
She tried to suppress her surprise.
“I was just asking if it’s too expensive. I heard those handmade silk products are very expensive. Since we’re meeting for the first time today, I don’t think I can accept such an expensive gift from you.”
“It’s indeed a rare breed, but I think no matter how expensive it is, it needs someone to carry it after it’s made to show its value.”
Le Wan held her hand enthusiastically.
“I think it’s the best place for it to go since it has met a master who loves and cherishes it so much.”
Serena then pretended to be touched.
“I’m really touched to hear you say that. I’m eager to see what it looks like.”
An idea struck Le Wan.
“If that’s the case, I can show it to you now.”
Serena was overjoyed, but she still had to politely refuse.
“Oh, no, no, no. Although I’m quite anxious to take a look at it, it would be rude of me to ask you to bring it over immediately.”
Le Wan said considerately,
“It’s fine. We’re free now anyway. Since we’re talking about this, I want to continue this happy atmosphere. So, I want to take it and hand it to you personally.”
When Zhai Jing was listening to the two of them putting on an act, he had already roughly understood Le Wan’s plan. He pinched Le Wan’s hand disapprovingly and was about to say something when he received a signal from Le Wan’s eyes, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
In Le Wan’s mind, they still had to stay here for about a week. If Emma didn’t achieve her goal tonight, according to Emma’s character, she would definitely not give up. Instead, she would keep pestering them, and they wouldn’t be able to have a peaceful week..
