Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Of course it's worth the price!"

Elena spoke casually, as if discussing a product costing a dollar or two, "A price of two thousand dollars is in line with its pricing. Moni, the brand you created possesses such exceptional quality; I believe it will be well-received by the market once it launches!"

"At the very least, I'll be your brand's first fan!"

The group walked into the fashion show venue chatting and laughing. Elena held one of the boys in each hand, and passersby would occasionally notice the two handsome young men who had been carefully dressed by Zhang Yi, and they would smile like doting aunts.

The venue was brightly lit, and the seats on both sides of the runway were already filled with fashion figures and invited celebrities. Although Zhang Yi was heavily pregnant, she wore a well-tailored maternity dress and specially selected pearl jewelry, which made her look calm, gentle and graceful.

Some people who knew Zhang Yi and his wife waved to greet him when he came in, while others came over to exchange pleasantries. Zhang Yi spoke with each of them for a few minutes.

Jenny and Chen Lianxiang flanked Zhang Yi as she sat down, while Xiao Chenhui and Xiao Rongguo, accompanied by Elena, sat to Chen Lianxiang's right. The two little ones were excitedly looking around, observing the people and objects in the venue.

A burst of loud music started, and the lights swept around. The host went on stage and rattled off a long string of words, which to Xiao Chenhui was all nonsense. Xiao Rongguo didn't understand, but continued to lick his ice cream with great enthusiasm.

As the host finished speaking, the music in the venue became more soothing, and the models, dressed in various outfits, began to file out, walking gracefully down the catwalk with confident and composed smiles on their faces, their high heels swaying in the breeze.

"They're here, little brother, look!" Little Chen Hui excitedly tugged at his younger brother, who was still licking his ice cream with his head down. Little Rong Guo looked up blankly at the models dressed in glittering jewelry and nodded as if he understood.

"They're dressed so strangely, brother, look, their backs aren't sewn up," Xiao Rongguo pointed his little finger at a mannequin wearing a backless dress. "Isn't she cold?"

"Women aren't afraid of the cold, that's what my dad said," Xiao Chenhui recalled his father's words, and after he said it, Elena giggled.

She stroked the heads of the two little ones, continued watching the models walk the runway, scrutinized the designs for this year's Lunar New Year, and inwardly critiqued them.

Seeing Elena interacting with the two little ones, Zhang Yi switched seats with her sister-in-law Chen Lianxiang and whispered to Elena, "I think these designs are not as good as yours, Elena."

"Your talent is the best I've ever seen among designers. You need to move on from your failed marriage. Why don't you take a trip to China, experience a different culture, and heal your heart that's been broken by that scumbag?"

"You mean going to China?"

"Yes, five thousand years of cultural heritage offers many elements that can inspire you. Perhaps you'll forget your troubles and rekindle your creative passion!"

"I'll consider it, Moni, thank you," Elena said with a smile, thanking Zhang Yi for clearing the way.

At this moment, the music in the venue became more exciting again. On the catwalk, a new group of models appeared, their crystal high heels clicking on the polished stage. One of the models was perhaps too nervous, and she staggered, her body tilting to the side, and she looked like she was about to fall.

"Little brother, look!" Little Chen Hui stood up excitedly, patting Little Rongguo's arm frantically, gesturing for him to look.

Xiao Rongguo also screamed, he could already see that the pretty young lady who wasn't dressed properly was about to fall headfirst onto the catwalk.

People on both sides of the runway gasped in surprise. However, although the model's steps were a bit hurried, she managed to keep her balance thanks to her amazing core strength and did not fall on the runway in front of everyone.

"OH!"

Xiao Chenhui, holding his head in his hands, sat down in disappointment. "I didn't really fall!"

Little Rongguo, imitating his brother, covered his head with one hand and held an ice cream in the other, shouting, "OH! NO! I didn't fall!"

Zhang Yi and Chen Lianxiang were both amused and exasperated by the expressions and words of the two little ones. The people around them were also amused by the innocent and straightforward nature of little Chen Hui and little Rong Guo.

Elena ruffled Rongguo's hair. "You two little devils, you didn't come along just to watch others embarrass themselves, did you?"

"No, Aunt Elena, my brother and I came to see art!"

"Giggle giggle!"

The two little ones didn't get to see the fall they wanted to see, and they were completely oblivious to the subsequent fashion shows. They just kept their heads down, dangling their feet and whispering to each other about what they wanted to do when they got home.

After the fashion show ended, Zhang Yi invited Elena to go to the manor together. Elena thought about it and agreed. After getting into the car, the two continued to talk, mostly Zhang Yi talking, advising Elena to get over it and stop worrying about those trivial matters, and to come to China.

"You've moved me, Moni. I've decided to go to China myself," Elena said with a smile.

"Great! You've finally listened to me and decided to go to China. I guarantee you won't regret it. When do you plan to leave?"

"No rush," Elena said, stroking Zhang Yi's swollen belly. Suddenly, the little one inside kicked her stomach. Elena's mouth formed an "O" shape, and she exclaimed dramatically to Zhang Yi, "Moni, the baby knows I'm touching her!"

"Perhaps the little one and I are destined for each other. I must wait until she is born before I set off for China," Elena said with a sweet laugh. "And while I'm at it, I want to meet little Rang Gor's parents; I want to be his godmother!"

Zhang Yi smiled helplessly. She didn't know why Xiao Rongguo seemed to be exactly the type of person Elena liked. After only meeting him once, Elena insisted on becoming Xiao Rongguo's godmother.

"Alright, as long as you can convince Rongguo's parents, I have no objections," Zhang Yi said, raising her hands in surrender.

Outside the car window, the bustling night view of New York City flashed past. A phone rang, and Jenny answered it. After saying a few words, she turned on the speakerphone and held it up to Zhang Yi. "It's Tony on the phone."

"Honey! I've arrived in New York. Just letting you know I'm safe!"

Hearing her husband Chen Dong's voice on the phone, Zhang Yi happily exclaimed, "Donnie, you're back? That's great! I'm coming to pick you up right now!"

"No, no, no, Bill's already at the airport. I'm in the car now, you don't need to come over, I'll be home soon!"

"Daddy!"

"Jimmy, do you miss Daddy?"

"think!"

"Uncle Dong, I am Rong Guo!"

"Little Rongguo, do you miss Uncle Dong?"

"Uncle Dong, when are you coming back?"

"Uncle, I'll be home soon!"

"Yay! That's great!"
