Chapter 63 Ji Mingwei's gift, filial piety is powerful!
This sounds really harsh.
But the guests thought so too!
Dressing up so simply on such a festive and solemn day is simply a sign of carelessness!
"Grandma, although you are old, please don't curse yourself like this." Ji Mingwei quickly explained: "I just took a five-hour flight and haven't had time to rest. I came all the way to celebrate your birthday.
I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I came over because I was afraid of wasting time.
I thought that everyone was a family, and when we returned to our own homes, we didn’t need to pay attention to those false etiquette.
As for not wearing makeup, it’s because I’m afraid that the smell of rouge will smell to you. After all, the older you get, the more you need to take care of yourself. If you choke on the smell of perfume and cause a bronchial infection, and you end up in the hospital again, it will be more of a loss than a gain.”
Mrs. Ji's face was ashen.
Obviously what she said seemed to make sense, but it always felt harsh.
She subconsciously wanted to teach him a lesson, but she actually smelled a refreshing scent of perfume on the tip of her nose, which made her open her mouth and sneeze loudly.
All her saliva sprayed on the face of Ji Qingtian who was sitting in front of her.
There was an awkward silence.
Xu Shujing burst into laughter.
She was eager to see Ji Qingtian's jokes!
Ji Qingtian's cheeks twitched for a moment, and she almost lost her expression.
Huo Beichen couldn't bear to look at her, and subconsciously cast his gaze on Ji Mingwei, noticing that she was naked, but still stunningly beautiful, with a cunning glint in her eyes, like a shrewd little fox.
His heart felt as if it had been scratched by a fox's paw, making him feel itchy inexplicably.
Mrs. Ji came back to her senses and suddenly looked distressed, "Oh, my dear granddaughter, are you okay? Grandma didn't mean it."
"No, it's okay." Ji Qingtian pretended to be calm and took out a tissue from her bag, pretending to wipe off the drool on her face gracefully.
After Mrs. Ji felt distressed, she pointed the finger at Ji Mingwei again: "You..." Crow mouth!
Ji Mingwei was one step ahead of her, accusing her: "Oh Ji Qingtian, don't you want to deliberately choke grandma to death by wearing such a strong perfume? Why don't you stay away from her quickly?"
Xu Shujin was happy to help: "That's right! Even if you are a celebrity and like to dress up, you don't have to wear perfume everywhere. I think you don't care about grandma at all!"
Ji Qingtian's face turned pale and clear. She never thought that putting on perfume before going out would have such consequences.
Obviously I didn’t find it so pungent before!
"I'm sorry, grandma." Ji Qingtian's eyes were red, she apologized pitifully, and stepped aside.
Mrs. Ji felt distressed in her eyes and immediately defended: "Okay, why are you so aggressive? Tiantian didn't mean to harm me."
"That's right!" Ji Jiaxu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to accuse: "Ji Mingwei, I think you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for Sister Tiantian! Seeing that she is loved by grandma, are you envious? Can she make grandma happy?
She is filial, what about you, what gift did you give grandma?"
Ji Mingwei raised her eyebrows and glanced in the direction of Mrs. Ji: "Of course I also carefully prepared one."
When Mrs. Ji heard this, her expression turned out to be indifferent, and there was even a bit of boredom in her eyes.
This old lady Ji is also a strange person. She is partial and protective of her fake granddaughter, but she never has a good look towards her real granddaughter.
In the past year since Ji Mingwei came back, she has visited the old lady many times, and no matter how many and good gifts she gave her, she still disdained her.
According to Mrs. Ji: My son gave you the money, and you are just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, pretending to be filial.
But if it was given by Ji Qingtian, even if it was rubbish, Mrs. Ji would probably take it all as ordered.
So this time, Ji Mingwei opened the square box in front of everyone.
When looking at the contents inside, everyone present, including Mrs. Ji, was startled.
"What, what is this??!"
"If my eyes weren't blurry, it would be obvious that it was a big rock!"
"Giving stones for birthdays, this... what a weird gift this is, how can you be so embarrassed to give it to me!"
Mrs. Ji's face turned black with anger, "Ji Mingwei, what do you mean? Are you resentful of me, or are you scolding me like a rock, smelly and hard!"
"Grandma, why do you think so? This is really a huge misunderstanding."
Ji Mingwei pursed her lips in grievance and said sincerely: "Don't think it is just a stone, but in fact it is not ordinary. It is a stubborn stone with hundreds of years of history in Qingxuan Temple. It is influenced by the incense Buddha every day.
, it can be said to be enlightened!
I took a five-hour flight to beg the abbot to give me this stone. I hope it can bless you as long as its lifespan."
Of course, all the above are made up. In fact, this is just a piece of broken stone taken from the Huo family's courtyard.
Since the old lady just doesn't like anything she sends, wouldn't she be a fool if she spends more money to give away expensive items?
Of course, the words need to be crafted well, and who doesn’t know how to use sweet words?
"Oh my god, Miss Ji is so attentive! That's the stone from Qingxuan Temple! The first temple in the country is blessed by Bodhisattva."
"I told you this is no ordinary stone! If you look closely, it is indeed full of spiritual energy!"
"The most important thing is your heart! You can let go of your pride and just ask for the safety of the old man. Such a gift is so precious!"
"Although any jade necklace is beautiful and valuable, Mrs. Ji is not short of such a piece, and Mr. Ji is so filial, the old lady is not short of money either!"
Listening to everyone's comments and discussions, Ji Qingtian's face turned green and white, as if there were thorns on his back.
Her jade necklace was obviously worth six million at auction, but it turned out to be no more than a broken stone?
Just relying on Ji Mingwei's bad mouth, she can turn rubbish into treasure. It's so annoying!
"Grandma, are you satisfied with my gift?" Ji Mingwei asked with a smile.
Mrs. Ji: "..."
Although the meaning of this stone is quite good, and it sounds like she is indeed very filial, she still feels so aggrieved!
But unfortunately, the guests were all praising her, so she couldn't keep her cold face anymore!
In the end, Mrs. Ji could only reply without embarrassment: "You have your heart."
…
After Ji's father went on stage to deliver his speech, the guests took their seats one after another.
At the Ji family table, the only outsider was Huo Beichen.
The old lady deliberately arranged for him to come here, obviously intending to treat him as a family member.
Ji Mingwei didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
Not long after she was seated, she just picked up her chopsticks when she heard Mrs. Ji say: "Tiantian! You have been away from home for half a year. Look at your little body, you are so thin that only bones are left. Grandma
I feel really distressed, so you should move back home! Let your parents make up for it for you."
