Chapter 95 Meeting Gift

The butler exclaimed in surprise, this time truly shocked!
"The child looks so much like you, Madam. I thought he was a relative of yours. I never imagined he was the precious son of the Xie family in Gangdu!"

"Don't be nervous. He'll be staying in the capital for a while. There's no need to fawn over him. Just treat him normally." Jiang Manman helped Xie Jian off the table. "Come on, Xie Jian, Auntie will help you pack your luggage."

The luxurious dressing room, which seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, was filled with clothes, with each men's outfit next to a women's outfit in the same color scheme.

Xie Jian opened her round eyes wide and exclaimed, "It's exactly the same picture he posted on his WeChat Moments!"

He was referring to the time a few months ago when Yan Changye pestered Jiang Manman to go to the luxury street and buy a bunch of clothes, which he then posted on his WeChat Moments.

The caption at the time read: Guess which ones my wife bought for me today.
Xie Jian was so envious! He pestered Jiang Manman on WeChat to buy it for him too, but Jiang Manman only thought he was Xie Yunxi and ignored him.

Now, Xie Jian brazenly entered the locker room that he had once envied, his excitement barely concealed. Full of anticipation, he asked Jiang Manman:

"Manman, can I hang my clothes however I want?"

"of course can."

So Xie Jian rolled up his sleeves and arrogantly pointed his chubby paws toward the dressing room: "Take down all of Yan Changye's clothes and hang all my clothes in the place where they used to be next to Manman's clothes."

Beside them, the butler and servants who came to help exchanged glances, unable to resist looking at Jiang Manman.

Jiang Manman was silent for a few seconds, looking at the child's undisguised smugness, and sighed softly: "Put Yan Changye's clothes in the small dressing room on the second floor for now—just put his summer clothes there, don't move his other seasonal clothes."

The dressing room on the second floor is also over a hundred square meters, and it is filled with Yan Changye and Jiang Manman's bathrobes and pajamas.

The housekeeper and servants busied themselves for half an hour before finally hanging up a huge pile of Yan Changye's summer clothes on the second floor.

Then, they started tidying up Xie Jian's clothes.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Xie Jian's two hundred-plus summer clothes were finally on the shelves. Jiang Manman glanced at them briefly; almost all of them still had the tags on. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy these new clothes specifically for coming to the capital?"

"Yes, I can't let Manman wear tattered clothes, I'm afraid she won't like me." Xie Jian rubbed his little nose and said seriously, "My brother took me to more than a dozen children's clothing stores, which should be enough for me to wear for two months in the capital."

The Xie family is a large conglomerate with many members. Jiang Manman thought Xie Jian was referring to one of her cousins, so she didn't pay much attention and just teased, "Wearing more than two hundred pieces of clothing in two months means you can change into new clothes three or four times a day. Your love of beauty is just like your Uncle Yan's."

After the clothes were tidied up, there was still a large pile of gift boxes left in the corner.

"And what are these?" Jiang Manman asked.

"These are gifts for you!" Xie Jian said. "I prepared them when I was going to take a cruise in the capital last time, and some others were prepared this time."

Jiang Manman raised an eyebrow: "So many! I'm really curious, are they filled with building blocks?"

“It’s something women like.” Xie Jian picked up one of them. “My dad said no woman can resist it.”

"Really? Then I'll have to take a look." Jiang Manman eagerly picked up the box from Xie Jian's hand and opened it. A long velvet box was revealed.

It is a limited edition diamond necklace from the ultra-luxury jewelry brand under the Yanjing Group.

Jiang Manman looked at the familiar brand logo: "..."

It's interesting to receive gifts made in one's own home.

Xie Jian looked at her cautiously: "Does Manman like it?" Jiang Manman casually put away the necklace: "The things from this brand are all very pretty, Auntie likes them very much."

"Should we open the others as well?"

Jiang Manman picked up another gift box and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the box is full of jewelry?"

“My brother said everything looks better when it comes in sets!” Xie Jian said matter-of-factly, “So I just emptied out an entire store.”

A jewelry store was emptied out, involving a huge sum of money...

Does his father know about this kind of ridiculous thing?
Jiang Manman: "..."

Her first reaction was to call Xie Yunxi and arrange for someone to take these expensive gadgets back.

Her second reaction was that she couldn't contact Xie Yunxi at all, or rather, she had never been able to contact him.

"Thank you for visiting." Jiang Manman's tone became a bit more serious. "I'm very happy that you gave me a gift. But gifts aren't necessarily better the more expensive they are. Moving a jewelry store like this..."

She was still thinking about how to phrase her words in a way that would make the child understand without hurting the child's feelings for her.

But Xie Jian gently corrected her: "It's not a jewelry store. It's a jewelry store and a gold shop! The cruise ship gift jewelry store, and this time they emptied out another gold shop in Beijing."

Jiang Manman was immediately at a loss: "Thank you for your help, but these kinds of extremely expensive gifts put more pressure on me than make me happy. Here's what we'll do: Auntie will keep them for now, and you can take them back with you when you go back."

"I didn't spend any money!" Xie Jian exclaimed, puzzled. "The jewelry store belongs to the Yan family, and the gold shop belongs to the Xie family. Aren't they all ours?"

Jiang Manman didn't want to explain too much to the child; a six-year-old wouldn't understand even if she explained too much.

She instructed the housekeeper, "Have someone put these...gifts away. Let Yan Changye handle them when he returns."

After saying that, she took Xie Jian's hand and said, "Auntie will show you around the villa so you can get familiar with the surroundings."

Xie Jian's little hand was held by Jiang Manman, and her eyes were filled with happiness: "Okay!"

Jiang Manman led him out of the dressing room and into the villa's garden.

The villa's lights were specially set to a soft glow at night, gentle on the eyes yet still dazzling. Jiang Manman led Xie Jian slowly through the villa, introducing everything to him one by one:

"This is the front garden. Further ahead is the swimming pool and fitness area, which is your Uncle Yan's favorite place. When he comes home, I'll have him take you swimming and exercising. This path leads to the back garden and the underground parking garage..."

After she finished her introduction, she looked at Xie Jian's curious gaze and chuckled, "It's nighttime now, so you can't see clearly. I'll take you around during the day. My aunt's villa community has six buildings. It's not like Yushui Bay in your port city, which has a huge area of ​​scenery to itself, but it'll still take you half an hour to walk around."

She spoke very modestly. The front garden alone was a vast sea of ​​flowers stretching as far as the eye could see; it took the two of them at least ten minutes to walk there. But Jiang Manman had seen the Royal Water Bay in the video; its scale surpassed even that of No. 1 Mansion.

"If the aunt isn't home during the day, you can go to the garage and choose your favorite car, then have the bodyguards take you out for a drive. Don't go visiting the neighbors' houses, especially Villa No. 2, they just moved in, we don't know who they are, so stay away from them."

The voice just fell.

A loud engine roared to life!
Immediately afterwards, the twenty-odd brand-new luxury cars that Jiang Manman had just seen during the day led the way, escorting a supercar worth hundreds of millions, and roared past the gate. They only slowed down for three or four seconds in front of Villa No. 1, and then accelerated to the maximum speed, soaring towards the city center!
Jiang Manman: "..."

Late at night, are the new neighbors next door going out to cause a ruckus?
