The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 351: The plan was exposed, and the sisters shared the same hatred for the enemy (VI)

It was precisely because of her sincere feelings for him that Jiang Ning looked at the jewelry box over and over again. Whenever she was bored, as long as she thought of it, she would take out the gem earrings, put them on, and look at them over and over in the mirror.

Her cheeks were reflected on the smooth mirror, and the crystal earrings hanging on her round earlobes were so luxurious. But what was more precious was the smile on the corners of a girl's lips when she received a gift from her loved one.

Giving two gifts does not mean that Chen Yuan uses gifts as a tool to maintain balance.

Maybe there is sincerity.

But this sincerity seemed so ironic and ridiculous when the two sisters tried their best to hide it, not daring to show off, and only secretly cherishing this friendship.

Gifts are an unspoken secret, a manifestation of their unique position in each other's hearts, and one of the few comforts in this twisted and complicated relationship.

At the same time, it became the first spark that ignited the powder keg.

I can’t count how many days have passed, but I can still vividly remember the voice of Chen Yuan angrily scolding the two sisters for treating feelings as a joke. However, when he really experienced their mental journey and was deeply involved in it, the means he chose were not glorious.

Contradictions, estrangements, and the light in the eyes that flickers and then dies.

These pains that can never be resolved are hidden in the seemingly peaceful life, and gradually become the sharpest thorns in the heart. They do not need to be touched, but will pierce the entire heart as long as they are thought of.

The beating heart suddenly felt empty.

Then, it began to drip blood like tears.

"Tick-tock-"

"Tick-tock-"

The second hand of the clock hanging on the wall in the living room was swinging tiredly.

Jiang Ning picked up the watch on the coffee table as if she was deaf. She stared at it blankly, with nothing else in her eyes. She silently recited the name of the brand in her heart, and each letter made the sound of her silent recitation pause until she completed it.

In my ears was Jiang Yao's nagging but futile explanation.

Jiang Ning couldn't hear anything, she just watched her sister open her mouth frequently.

The brain is like being stuck in a muddy swamp, sorting out a clue from the complicated and irritating information, which points to a direction and then to a person.

"He gave it to you?"

Jiang Ning only asked one question, and her sister fell silent.

She pursed her lips, her eyes began to wander, and finally she lowered her head and uttered "hmm" as softly as a mosquito.

"good……"

Jiang Ning spoke in a low voice, looking neither painful nor sad, her brows showing that she was thinking, but to Jiang Yao, who knew her well, this expression was scary.

"What's good about that... Sister, giving a gift doesn't mean anything. Although Chen Yuan and I are indeed a little closer, it doesn't count as you losing. Go ahead and act like a spoiled child and ask him to give you one. I just want to be the first. We're still a long way from winning... Hey, this isn't my sympathy for the loser. It's just a weird mentality. I also envy you for having so much in common with him. If you were to do that, I'd be the one pestering him all the time. Don't go and make a scene in front of him. He's had a hard time lately."

Jiang Yao didn't know what to say. She kept chattering without focusing and glanced at her sister's face with a tentative look.

In the past, she would feel very happy, because they were playing a winner-takes-all, loser-goes game, and as long as they were at this table, they had to keep winning. But today seemed different. She felt that her sister's behavior was a little strange, as if the layer of strength wrapped around her body had been eaten away, leaving only the layer of weakness underneath.

It breaks if it is touched.

In fact, she hoped that her sister would be stubborn and pretend not to care at this time, because that would be normal.

Jiang Yao didn't know what her sister was thinking at this moment.

no doubt.

Jiang Ning already knew that Chen Yuan bought two gifts from the same store and gave them to her and her sisters. She remained calm. Judging from her sister's anxious look and the information revealed in her words, it was obvious that she was also kept in the dark and had no idea.

So why did Chen Yuan do this? What good would it do him to deceive both sides?
The answer is clear.

Until now, he still treats the two sisters equally as lovers and has not tried to break away from either of them. He is enjoying this kind of life with peace of mind.

Jiang Ning's brows began to furrow when she thought of what he said when he gave her a gift by the river.

She was very touched at the time and never thought that Chen Yuan was playing such a trick.

Now thinking back on it... No wonder he said "Don't let Yaoyao know" when giving the gift, it turns out he was afraid of being exposed.

Even more disconcerting was the fact that she was wondering – did this behavior only happen once?

Jiang Ning had already noticed it.

He vowed that he would find a way to resolve the matter, and when the opportunity arose, he would explain everything to Yaoyao, even if the outcome would be sad. However, this promise disappeared without a trace after she successfully took the position of secretary, and was never mentioned again.

Jiang Ning had to tell herself not to be too impatient and try to give him more time. Isn't mutual understanding and patience the most valuable quality in a relationship?
But where is the reward after patience...

Nowhere in sight.

It was delayed month after month, and life went on as usual. He instead deliberately avoided similar topics and tried his best to create scenes of the three of them being together.

He seemed to be making this daily routine an indelible habit, until everyone got used to each other's presence, and the tacit balance would be achieved as a matter of course.

Is he really fulfilling his promise?
Jiang Ning asked herself.

No.

Of course, she couldn't find any signs that didn't exist, so where did Chen Yuan work so hard? She saw it.

But she would not hesitate to find all kinds of reasons to excuse the other party, just like her sister who is hesitating now.

This is such a great and stupid love.

Why did Jiang Yao never feel like she lost, never fear Chen Yuan's departure, but instead was arrogant and looked like a winner? She understood.

But she still couldn't bear to assume the worst about the person she liked, just like Jiang Yao who was kept in the dark.

This is truly firm and unshakable trust.

"Sister, why don't you say anything? Are you really hit hard? Don't let such a small thing destroy your confidence. I gave the young master so many gifts, he should give me something in return. Otherwise, it would seem so heartless... I..."

"Do you think I'm unhappy about this gift?" Jiang Ning suddenly turned around and asked.

"Ah, isn't it?"

"It would be nice if that were the case."

Jiang Ning put down her watch, stood up, walked to the study, opened the drawer, took out the earrings given by Chen Yuan from a pile of jewelry boxes, and walked out with them.

She looked directly at the somewhat confused Jiang Yao and shook the thing in her hand.

"It's the same brand," Jiang Ning bit her lip tightly and said with a complicated expression, "You don't have to explain for him, Yaoyao... do you know? Have you seen it? Take a closer look now."

No need to say more.

Her sister didn't know that she went to Bauhinia Company to work as Chen Yuan's secretary.

She also received a gift and promised not to show it off, so her sister didn't know about it.

Her sister didn't know about the private agreement she had made with Chen Yuan.

How many things did Chen Yuan agree to do with his sister? How many similar acts of double-deception did he do?

They don't know.

This is a very huge debt. Maybe the calculation can be made clearly, or maybe not, but the person who owes the debt must understand it best.

Jiang Yao hesitantly took the jewelry box handed to her by her sister. She sat on the sofa, smoothed down her messy hair, and opened the jewelry box with a "click". Immediately, the deep and dazzling gem was reflected in her pupils.

"Did he tell you not to mention the gift, otherwise I would be angry?" Jiang Ning asked.

"……Have."

"Did he tell you that he would choose you, but he didn't know how to tell me, so don't rush it now?"

"?"

"Did he tell you that you are his favorite?"

At this moment.

When Jiang Yao faced her sister's questions, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that Chen Yuan had not only said these words to her, but he had also said the same thing to her sister.

“…This bastard!”

The tightly clenched fist represents Jiang Yao's infinite grievance and anger.

Her anger.

"Swish", it's on fire!
