Lawyer Gao is secretly jealous again

Chapter 166 Gift
Everyone sat down on the sofa in the hall, and the servants brought some washed fruits.

The old lady and the old man came in from outside. I don’t know what they were talking about in the backyard.

Maybe the servant told them that Ding Jiaxu was coming.

Looking at the kettle in the old man's hand, Ding Jiaxu knew that he was going to take care of the flowers and plants he grew.

Although it is winter now, the old man lives a life of indifference after retirement, and his only hobby is these flowers and plants.

As the temperature has dropped in recent days, he has been paying special attention to the growth of these plants.

Ding Jiaxu stood up and greeted the old man and the old lady.

"Grandpa, grandma..." She has always been well-behaved in front of her elders.

"Jia Xu is here...why is his hand wrapped in gauze?" The old lady had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the gauze on Ding Jiaxu's hand.

Ding Jiaxu put his hands behind his back and shook his head. "It's just a minor scratch. Huo Ling was worried about me and insisted on wrapping it like this."

"Then you have to be careful about infection. How come you have time to come here today?" Song Xinlan didn't care what Gao Song was doing. She knew his habits. He would water the flowers and drink tea in the morning.

She walked straight towards Ding Jiaxu.

"Shuyi is here too? Is he feeling better?"

Song Xinlan has always been the type who smiles on the outside but does not really smile on the inside, and Ji Shuyi doesn't like her from the bottom of her heart.

Other grandmothers are all kind and amiable, but Song Xinlan is like an old fox.

I originally thought it was just a legend from outside, but after getting along with it, this is what I felt.

I just don’t know what Ding Jiaxu is thinking.

Unconsciously, Ji Shuyi looked at Ding Jiaxu.

"Book meaning..."

Without hearing Ji Shuyi's answer to Song Xinlan, Luo Yinyin kicked her lightly with her foot.

After coming back to his senses, Ji Shuyi nodded: "Much better, thank you grandma for your concern."

"It's all right. Be careful. Sit down. These fruits are freshly brought in. Please try them."

"Hmm... ok."

Ding Jiaxu sat down next to Huo Sisi, and the necklace around his neck shook, which was seen by everyone.

"Hey, Jiaxu...your mother gave you all the Huo family heirlooms. It seems that she really likes you as her daughter-in-law." Luo Yinyin smiled, but found that Ji Shuyi and Gao Jinghan were both staring at Ding Jiaxu.

Then the two of them looked at each other again before looking away.

"Sorry, this is the Ling family's thing. My mother gave it to me." Huo Sisi found it funny and curled her lips.

"Haha...the Ling family and the Huo family are the same...they are all yours." Luo Yinyin added to ease the embarrassment.

"The Ling family is not mine. I am a married daughter and like spilled water, I am just following the rules of my ancestors and passing this necklace down from generation to generation. The mission is accomplished and it can be considered a success." Huo Sisi didn't know who she was talking to and didn't look at anyone. It was like a simple narration.

For a moment, no one responded, the living room became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Ding Jiaxu glanced at everyone, then said to Ji Shuyi: "By the way, I haven't given you the gift yet."

Ding Jiaxu took the bag from the side and took out a small box with exquisite packaging from it.

This time, Luo Yinyin did not jump around. After suffering a loss when she returned the book last time, she just watched secretly without making any noise. She stood up and handed the small box to Ji Shuyi.

Ji Shuyi raised her head slightly and stood up. She didn’t like the feeling of looking up at people.

He took the small box and said, "Thank you..."

But when she took the box, she inadvertently held Ding Jiaxu's left hand.

"Is your hand okay?"

She said words of concern, but her hands were very strong.

The pressure hurt Ding Jiaxu's wound and she frowned immediately, but she held back.

She came to see Huo Sisi today to enlighten her, not to cause trouble.

She also pulled her hand back calmly.

"It's okay... open it and take a look. I don't know if you like it or not." Ding Jiaxu took two steps back and clenched his left hand slightly, not wanting others to see the bloodstains seeping out of the white gauze.

Ji Shuyi knew that Ding Jiaxu was in pain, and she liked to see her feeling helpless and not daring to resist.

Ji Shuyi smiled and sat down next to Gao Jinghan, but she did not open the gift herself. Instead, she handed it to Gao Jinghan beside her.

Gao Jinghan understood Ji Shuyi's meaning and helped her open it.

The packaging is very exquisite, and the small box inside is also very exquisite. After opening it, there is a bottle of perfume inside. It is not a well-known big brand, but a niche brand from the Netherlands.

It is not sold in China. Ji Shuyi bought it by accident when she went to the Netherlands and fell in love with it afterwards.

"This is..." Ji Shuyi recognized the bottle of perfume at a glance, and immediately took the box from Gao Jinghan's hand and took out the perfume.

Not only did she love the special smell inside, she also liked the bottle and collected it.

"How do you know I like this perfume? Did Huo Ling tell you?"

Ji Shuyi knew that, apart from Gao Huoling, no one knew that she liked this, so when she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Dante's words of praise were like a bucket of cold water, bringing Ji Shuyi back to reality.

"No... Huo Ling has never told me anything about you. I only ask him out of curiosity occasionally, but he always says it's not important. Don't worry about it. I'm not jealous. I'm just curious. I'm curious about what he was like before."

"I smelled your scent and accidentally saw the perfume bottles you collected. The designer of this perfume is a friend of mine, and he only designed this scent."

"He also designed the perfume bottle himself. He studied painting before, but his family business is perfume."

Ding Jiaxu's words were half true and half false. This designer did know her, but they were not that close. It was just that the perfume was bought as a gift for Ding Keyan, not specifically for Ji Shuyi.

Just by chance, she saw Ji Shuyi placed those empty perfume bottles on the table in the house as decorations.

"Really? It turns out that there really are such coincidences in this world. It seems that my sister-in-law has a lot of friends..." Seeing that Ji Shuyi's face was changing from good to bad, Gao Jinghan took the initiative to speak.

It can be considered as a way of saying thank you to Ding Jiaxu.

"Yes, it's just a coincidence that I met Huo Ling, who is Ling Che's cousin, and Ling Che and I go to the same school. It just goes around in circles, that's how the world is."

"Does Shuyi like the gift I gave you? I know it's not convenient for you to go abroad now. You may have to take care of your children in the future, so you will have less time for yourself. If you like it, I can ask him to send it to me."

There was nothing wrong with Ding Jiaxu's words, but Ji Shuyi felt uncomfortable hearing them.
