Ling Chuchu turned around, but did not see Xia Yaoxi's figure. She looked around strangely and saw him walking out with a silk scarf. The pure white background and printed peach blossoms made it very eye-catching.
"How about this one? Does it look good?" He raised the silk scarf in his hand and asked her.
"It's very beautiful. Do you want to give it as a gift?" Ling Chuchu replied with a smile, her eyes always staying on that silk scarf. It is really beautiful!
"Yes, I have never known what to buy. I saw you buying it and thought it was good. Let me buy one by the way! Miss, wrap it up!" Xia Yaoxi smiled and handed the scarf to the clerk.
The clerk packed it very carefully and swiped the card. Ling Chuchu secretly looked at the price of this scarf, and it turned out to be 20,000 yuan!
She couldn't help but be speechless. It's better for rich people to buy such expensive things without blinking an eye.
Then I thought about the scarf on my hand. It seemed to be a little worse than that one, and I suddenly felt a little sad!
However, although it is not as good as that one, it is still my truest intention and I believe my mother will like it.
Consoling themselves like this, the two of them walked out of the scarf shop together!
"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Xia Yaoxi asked.
"Uh, no more! Please give this gift to my mother for me!" Ling Chuchu handed the bag in his hand to his hand, and then said uneasily, "Don't let me have that gift of yours."
Mom saw it!"
She looked at the other bag in his hand tangledly. The same thing was easy to compare, so the silk scarf she bought could easily be compared.
Xia Yaoxi chuckled and agreed. His cell phone rang and he immediately picked it up, "Hey, Aunt Xin, I'm at the mall and I'm going back soon..."
When Ling Chuchu heard the call from her mother, bitterness overflowed from the corner of her mouth. She turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the person behind her continue to say, "Aunt Xin, I am with Chu Chu. Please invite her to go home with you. You haven't seen this person for a long time."
Come on, she bought you a gift!"
When Ling Chuchu heard this, she turned her head in shock and waved to him again and again.
Xia Yaoxi smiled and hung up the phone, "Okay, I understand!"
"Aunt Xin said that I must take you home! It seems that you have to give her this gift in person!" Xia Yaoxi smiled and threw the bag in her hand into Ling Chuchu's arms.
"Hey, I can't go, please take it for me!" Ling Chuchu said anxiously.
"Today is Aunt Xin's birthday, can you bear to let her down?"
"I..." Ling Chuchu was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to disappoint her mother. In fact, she missed her mother too!
"Let's go, it's just a family dinner at noon, no outsiders. There will be a party in the evening, and no outsiders will come until then!" Xia Yaoxi explained, not wanting to burden her.
"..." Ling Chuchu was really confused.
"Let's go buy some clothes. Although we are all members of the family, my father pays great attention to etiquette. What you are wearing is not suitable!" Although Xia Yaoxi doesn't care what Chu Chu wears, after all, it is the first time to go home. In addition to family members, there are also
There are a lot of servants, and he doesn't want Chuchu to be looked down upon, not anyone!
"Forget it, I'd better not go!" Ling Chuchu took a step back in embarrassment.
"Do you want to disappoint Aunt Xin, or do you want to go home now?"
After Ling Chuchu heard this, she immediately wilted. She didn't want to disappoint her mother, let alone go home. But what made her wonder was that her mother didn't always like her interacting with the Xia family. She didn't even want the Xia family to know her existence.
Why are you so determined to attend her birthday party today?
"Xia Yaoxi, are you lying to me?"
"What are you lying to? Oh, if you don't believe it, ask Aunt Xin yourself!" He said, taking out his mobile phone and dialing his home phone number again.
When Ling Chuchu saw this, she immediately grabbed the phone and hung up, "Forget it, I believe you!"
"After all, you are Aunt Xin's biological daughter. Sooner or later, she will understand who is the best to her and who she should be nice to!" Xia Yaoxi explained her confusion.
Ling Chuchu frowned, is this really the case? If her mother can think so, then she is really happy!
"Let's go! Go choose an outfit!"
Ling Chuchu didn't want to buy any more clothes, but the clothes she wore were indeed too shabby. The denim skirt and T-shirt were all the clothes she wore when she was in school!
She had run out of clothes to change when she wanted to go home. Today was her mother's birthday, so she couldn't let the Xia family wait.
So she could only listen to Xia Yaoxi's words and choose a light green dress. Xia Yaoxi wanted to buy her another set of accessories, but she firmly refused!
She didn't have any spare money to buy those flashy things anymore. She had never worn the pile at home, and if she bought them back, she could only use them to press boxes!
She had already written down the money to buy this suit of clothes, and she decided to pay him back no matter what.
…………
Xia family!
Xu Naixin had already told Xia Bainian about Chu Chu's coming. Xia Bainian didn't say much. In fact, he had wanted to meet his wife's child for a long time, but he was too busy and never took the time.
Today is my wife’s birthday, so it’s appropriate for her daughter to come over to congratulate her!
Xia Xuechi has not returned home since she left in the morning. Xu Naixin asked the servant to call and find out where she is and ask her to come back early!
After arranging everything, Xu Naixin came to the door of the villa and nervously waited for Chu Chu's arrival. Now her mood towards Chu Chu was completely different from before!
Maybe it's because of guilt, maybe it's because she's older and has seen clearly what is most important to people. Maybe it's Xia Xuechi's change in attitude towards herself that made her realize that in this world, there is no one who can do anything unconditionally.
This is the only daughter you have to pay for yourself!
If she is not your own child, no matter how nice you are to her, it will be difficult for her to win her sincerity!
Just like Xue Chi, Xu Naixin thought she was treating her well out of the bottom of her heart, but in the end, she still alienated herself because of trivial matters!
The white Land Rover slowly drove into Xia's house. Ling Chuchu had already seen her mother waiting at the door. Her heart felt hot and she finally had a smile on her lips.
The servant came over to open the car door for Ling Chuchu. Ling Chuchu got out of the car, holding the gift prepared for her mother tightly in her hands, with a trace of nervousness on her face.
"Chuchu!" Xu Naixin walked up to her daughter and reached out to hold her hand, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.
"Mom! Happy birthday!" Ling Chuchu gave her the gift in her hand.
"It's good that you're here, what gifts are you buying? Come on in!" Xu Naixin took the gift in his hand. At this time, Xia Yaoxi also got out of the car and said hello to Xu Naixin, "Aunt Xin!"
Then he looked at the somewhat embarrassed Ling Chuchu with a gentle look.
After the three of them entered the room, the servant immediately served tea and fruit plates!
"I'll ask your father to come down, Chu Chu, sit here for a moment!" After Xu Naixin finished speaking, she went upstairs with the gift.
"Don't worry, my dad is very kind!" Seeing her nervousness, Xia Yaoxi comforted her, then took a piece of watermelon and handed it to her hand, "Eat the fruit!"
"Thank you, I'll eat later!" Ling Chuchu refused with a smile. She had better wait for her elders to come down obediently. She didn't want to discredit her mother when she met the Xia family for the first time.
Xia Yaoxi didn't force it, and soon there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs. Ling Chuchu and Xia Yaoxi stood up at the same time, and saw Xia Bainian walking down the stairs, followed by Xu Naixin!
From a distance, the two seemed to be a perfect match.
"Bainian, this is Chu Chu! Chu Chu, this is Uncle Xia!" When they got downstairs, Xu Naixin took two quick steps to introduce the two of them.
"Hello, Uncle Xia!" Chu Chu greeted him very politely, with a calm smile on her face.
"Well, hello, you're such a nice girl. Come and sit down!" Xia Bainian is indeed very kind. He also likes the girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart. Not only is she pretty, but she also seems to be an honest and responsible girl.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia!" Ling Chuchu was relieved when she saw this. She could also feel that Xia Bainian was an elder who was easy to get along with!
At least he was much kinder than Feng Xijue's father. Thinking of Feng Xijue's father, Ling Chuchu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He would hit and scold him every time they met, which was really unacceptable.
"Don't be so polite. I told your mother to pick you up a long time ago. Your mother said you wanted to accompany your grandma, so she kept delaying it. The last time we said we would meet, it didn't work out, so we have been putting it off until now!" Xia Bainian
Somewhat emotional.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia, for remembering Chu Chu. Chu Chu should come to visit first!" Ling Chuchu looked at the slightly majestic middle-aged man in front of her and felt more and more respect in her heart.
"Haha, you are such a good boy, Naixin, you really have a good daughter. If you are half as sensible as her, I will be relieved!"
"Dad, you said bad things about me in front of outsiders again!" Xia Xuechi walked in from the outside irritably. When she saw Ling Chuchu, she immediately shouted, "It's you, why did you come to my house!"
"Chi Chi, what are you talking about? Chu Chu is your mother's daughter. Today is your mother's birthday. I invited her to be my guest!" Xia Bainian frowned and looked at his daughter!
"Don't just lure the wolf into the house! Zhang Ma, give me a glass of water, I'm so thirsty!"
!
"This child is really spoiled, Chu Chu, don't mind, I will come to my house to play more often in the future!" Xia Bainian smiled at Ling Chuchu.
"No, Miss Xia is really kind and dares to be herself. It's not too late for me to envy her!" Ling Chuchu had long expected that Xia Xuechi would not welcome her, so she didn't mind and just smiled.
"Stop flattering my dad here. Do you think that if you please my dad, he will let you in?" Xia Xuechi sat on the sofa and stared at Ling Chuchu coldly.
"Miss Xia, I'm married!" Ling Chuchu was afraid that Xia Xuechi would say something she shouldn't have said, so she immediately revealed her married status.
Xia Yaoxi and Xu Naixin's expressions changed. Of course they knew what Xia Xuechi meant by entering. I really don't know if this girl did it intentionally or unintentionally. If Xia Bainian knew that Xia Yaoxi liked Chu Chu, she would definitely hate her.
Xia Bainian did not understand the meaning of her daughter's words. She only thought that Xia Xuechi meant that Chu Chu wanted to enter the Xia family as a stepdaughter!
He shook his head. This daughter's temperament was really worrying. Not only was she quick-tempered, but she also had the bad habits of a young lady. He was really worried about her.
With this comparison, he felt more and more that Ling Chuchu had a good temperament, but no matter how good she was, she was still someone else's daughter, and she still couldn't compare with his own daughter.
Just like some parents always praise other people's children for how good they are, and their own children are not good at this or that, but they still love their children the most in their hearts.
"Chu Chu is married. Who is her husband's family? Why didn't she bring her husband here today?" Xia Bainian asked with great interest.
"He is very busy today and has no time!" Ling Chuchu felt a sour feeling in her heart when she thought of the man in the hospital.
"You are really married to Feng Xijue. It seems that someone is going to be sad!" Xia Xuechi glanced at her brother who looked sad, and when she received his warning look, she looked away in boredom.
Pout.
"Feng Xijue, is this Feng Xijue from the Feng Group?" Xia Bainian asked incredulously.
"Yes, that's him, uncle recognizes him!" Ling Chuchu replied with a smile.
"Haha, of course I recognize it. Feng Xijue has taken over the leadership position of Feng Group at a young age. Everyone in this city knows this. I didn't expect you to marry him, but you are very lucky!" Xia Bainian heard this.
He said that after Ling Chuchu married Feng Xijue, he looked at her more kindly.
"He is really good!"
"However, I heard that Mr. Feng dismissed him from the position of CEO a while ago and made his eldest son the president. As a result, Feng's stock price plummeted. What is going on?" Xia Bainian was quite interested.
ask.
Ling Chuchu was still smiling, although she didn't know whether he was doing it intentionally or unintentionally, or he was inquiring about something. She just replied, "Jue and his father are not on good terms, it's just some family matters!"
"Oh, I've heard about this!"
People are very shameless.
"Dad, today is Aunt Xin's birthday. Let's not talk about this. Aunt Xin, I bought you a gift. See if you like it!" Xia Yaoxi interrupted his father's question and asked the servant to buy it for him.
The gift was brought up.
"Thank you!" Xu Naixin took it with a smile, a very happy smile on her face.
"Open it quickly and see what it is!" Xia Xue was interested. She liked to watch others put in gifts. Besides, her brother was rich, so she really wanted to know what he had given her.
"Okay!" Xu Naixin didn't hesitate and opened the box directly. Inside was a pair of green jade bracelets!
This surprised everyone present. At first glance, it was clear that this jade bracelet was the finest jade. It was deep green, with a warm texture, and it was so beautiful that it made people feel dazzled.
"I didn't know what to give as a gift. I saw it when I was on a business trip a few days ago and bought it!" Xia Yaoxi smiled lightly.
"Wow, brother, you are so partial! You only gave me a gold chain on my birthday. This bracelet is much more valuable than the gold chain!" Xia Xuechi shouted!
"You girl, Aunt Xin is an elder. How can you compare with your elders? Besides, if you like it, I'll just have someone buy another pair for you. I'm afraid you won't wear them even if I give them to you!" Xia Yaoxi looked at her fondly.
Holding his sister.
"Well, let's forget it, it's really not suitable for me!" Xia Xuechi immediately waved her hand.
"Yao Xi, this is indeed too expensive!" Xu Naixin also felt that it was too expensive.
"Just accept your child's thoughts! I think it's okay!" Xia Bainian looked at his wife with a smile.
"Is this normal? Dad, where's the gift you gave mom? I want to see it!" Xia Xuechi immediately became interested when he heard it and stretched his neck to look for it.
Xia Bainian then took out a very simple small box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Naixin's hand with a smile.
"Mom, open it quickly!" Xia Xuechi was impatient and couldn't wait to know what his father had given him.
Xu Naixin smiled and opened the box. Inside was a sapphire ring. The gemstone was as big as a pigeon egg, dazzling and sparkling!
"Wow, it's so beautiful! But, Dad, no matter how beautiful this sapphire is, it may not be as valuable as my brother's pair of jade bracelets!" Xia Xuechi smiled and leaned against her father.
"You girl, what do you know? This is not an ordinary sapphire ring. This is the wedding ring that the prince gave to the Queen of England when she got married!" Xia Bainian smiled happily.
"How can I wear the Queen's ring?" Xu Naixin was a little nervous.
"Why can't you wear it? If the queen can wear it, you can wear it too. You are the queen of our family!" Xia Bainian looked at his wife very lovingly.
"Wow, dad is so partial. The gifts he gives to mom are better than those he gives to me! I'm angry, I want a gift too!" Xia Xuechi pouted pretending to be angry.
"Haha, this kid will never grow up. When you get married, your father will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you. That's okay!" Xia Bainian nodded her little nose and said.
Xia Xuechi's face immediately turned red when she heard this. She pushed her father gently and said shyly, "Mom, look at Dad, he knows how to bully me!"
"Your father is right, Chi Chi, do you have a sweetheart? If so, you must tell us!" Xu Naixin was someone who had been there before, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xia Xuechi.
"No way. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to get married, your brother should go first. He is already the eldest brother!" Xia Xuechi threw the question directly to her brother.
"Yes, Yao Xi, you are now a grown man. It's time to make a decision. A few days ago, there were uncles from several aristocratic families who wanted to introduce their daughters to you. You can go and meet them some other time!" Xia Bainian is still very concerned about his children.
of life-long events.
"Me? Dad, today is Aunt Xin's birthday, can you please spare me!" Xia Yaoxi immediately surrendered and begged for mercy, while glaring at his sister.
Ling Chuchu looked at this happy family, feeling envious and at the same time feeling a little disappointed in her heart. She had never felt such family warmth in her life. She thought that after getting married, she would finally have a home of her own and a life of her own.
Relatives and lovers are happily together!
But happiness began to wither before it could even begin.
"It's Mom's birthday, Miss Ling should also bring a gift!" Xia Xuechi suddenly turned his gaze to the woman sitting quietly aside, with deep contempt in his eyes.
She really didn't expect that this woman would be so overestimated and dare to come to her house. She was really humiliating herself!
"Chu Chu has already given me the gift!" Xu Naixin said immediately.
"Oh? Since my brother and dad's gifts have been opened, let's open Miss Ling's gift too and take a look!" Xia Xuechi's eyes were filled with mockery.
"Haha, I put the gift in the house, I want to wait until night to open it!" Xu Naixin replied with a smile.
"How can that be done? It's so lively now that there are so many people taking it apart. I'll get it!" After Xia Xuechi finished speaking, he immediately ran upstairs.
"This girl is always so crazy!" Xia Bainian shook his head, with a doting smile on his face.
Xia Yaoxi glanced at Chu Chu worriedly. Compared with the gifts from him and his father, Chu Chu's gift indeed seemed light. It turned out that Chi Chi did it on purpose just now, just to embarrass Chu Chu. Why didn't he know that his sister
When did you become so scheming!
Ling Chuchu also felt very embarrassed. Compared with their jade gems, her silk scarf was indeed inferior, but she tried her best, and what matters most when giving gifts is her heart, right?
She comforted herself in this way and felt relieved. However, when Xia Xuechi took her gift and opened it, Ling Chuchu still felt the strange looks from the people around her, as well as Xia Xuechi's gleeful eyes.
Xu Naixin liked it very much, and put it on in front of everyone, with a happy smile on her face. This made Ling Chuchu feel a lot relieved. As long as her mother was happy, she could not care about other people's opinions.
After dinner, Ling Chuchu stood up and left. Xia Bainian repeatedly invited her to attend Xu Naixin's birthday party in the evening. She wanted to refuse, but he kept asking her to come. Her mother and Xia Yaoxi also hoped that she could come.
In the end she had no choice but to agree.
When Xia Yaoxi sent Ling Chuchu back to the community, he suddenly thrust the silk scarf he bought in the morning into her hand and said, "It's for you!"
"Send it to me? No, I can't accept it!" Ling Chuchu immediately refused. She would never want such an expensive thing.
"Take it, you are my sister now. It is only natural for a brother to give a gift to his sister! You also know that I am not short of this little money!" After Xia Yaoxi finished speaking, he turned back to the car and drove away.
Ling Chuchu looked at the paper bag in her hand and felt very uncomfortable!
The phone rang again. She couldn't remember how many times it had rang, but she didn't want to answer it and let it ring.
"Ling Chuchu, why didn't you answer my call?" Feng Xijue parked the car beside her and asked angrily.
He called her countless times today, but she didn't answer any of them. Does she know how anxious he is?
Ling Chuchu glanced at him, pursed her lips, said nothing, but turned around and walked towards the community. She didn't want to pay attention to him, not at all!
She felt extremely uncomfortable. Today at the Xia family, although she kept comforting herself that the gifts were not valuable, but the thoughts were the most important, Xia Xuechi's contemptuous look, Uncle Xia's thoughtful look, and the contempt of the servants all
