Chapter 67: The Pearl of the Palm
Xu Jinyang recently asked Guan He to actively inquire about Ao Yunxi's parents' preferences as a gift for a Saturday visit.
It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Ao are fond of collecting, especially pottery. But their preferences and habits are very different from those of other collectors, and what they like is not what is sought after by more people, but precisely the kind of works that are unknown and unpopular, and they like to make those obscure works popular.
This stumped Xu Jinyang.
He was unfamiliar with Mr. and Mrs. Ao, and how did he know which works would win the favor of the couple.
In the past, he hated Ao Yunxi and thought that Ao Yunxi had ruined his life, but now, he found that the hatred that Ao Yunxi forced to marry had unconsciously faded. Instead, there is a complicated feeling that even he can't explain to Ao Yunxi, and he can't explain it......
That feeling, is that what Ao Yunxi said?
But the heart is ...... Where does it come from? Why?
He didn't know, he really didn't.
He only knew that he was no longer as hostile and sloppy towards this woman as before, either because he realized that he was indeed too cruel to Ao Yunxi before, or because under the influence of his grandmother, he became more and more concerned about the child in her belly.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Ao are the parents who gave birth to her and raised her, and they are the grandparents of his children, how can he be careless?
In desperation, he had no choice but to call Ao Yunxi.
Ao Yunxi didn't hang up his phone, but his attitude towards him was still careless: "What's the matter with calling me?" ”
He was silent for a while before he mustered up the courage to ask, "Ao Yunxi, what type of pottery do your parents like to collect?" ”
It took Ao Yunxi two seconds to react to the meaning behind his words, a sneering smile on her lips, and asked, "Xu Jinyang, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”
Without hesitation, he replied: "Of course it's true." ”
"The truth is, no matter what you give, my parents who regard me as the pearl of their palms will not like it."
Regard her as the pearl of your palm...... These words make it very clear what the meaning behind it is: Mr. and Mrs. Ao can't like to spoil their daughter's him, including the gifts he gave......
Xu Jinyang suddenly felt that his mood became dull for no reason.
In the end, his huge pride made him successfully hide his unexplained annoyance in the way of sneering: "If it weren't for my grandmother forcing me to prepare a gift for your parents, I wouldn't have called you this woman." ”
Ao Yunxi said: "I don't want to talk to you either, not even a word." ”
This woman with a poisonous tongue......
"As you wish." Xu Jinyang hung up the phone angrily.
Although Ao Yunxi said that Mr. and Mrs. Ao would not like any of the gifts he gave, Xu Jinyang still decided to choose a gift for them.
According to the information obtained from Guan He's search, he spent a night reading and analyzing carefully, and finally figured out the preferences and habits of Mr. Ao and Mrs. Ao.
On Friday, he put aside all his work that day and appeared at major auctions across the country, looking for a gift for Mr. and Mrs. Ao. In one day, he attended dozens of auctions and flew seven times until late that night, when he returned to City B.
Lying on the bed, he was obviously so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes, but for some reason, looking at the pottery wrapped in a golden box, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Following.
Xu Jinyang, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt that someone was shaking his body, and a harsh voice sounded in his ears: "Xu Jinyang, the sun is on your buttocks, get me up." ”
In fact, he was originally a shallow sleeper, and when he was shaken by the old lady like this, even if he was sleepy, he immediately woke up.
Opening her tired eyelids, the old lady's angry face came into view, accompanied by the old lady's scolding: "Today is the day when we go to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law at Ao's house, you get me up immediately." ”
Xu Jinyang also regarded this matter as very important, if it was not important, he would not have skipped a day's work yesterday and flew around in major cities across the country, just to find what Mr. and Mrs. Ao liked.
So of course it is impossible for him to forget.
He immediately turned over the quilt and got up, and the old lady didn't forget to ask him: "I asked you to prepare gifts for your father-in-law and mother-in-law, are you ready?" ”
Xu Jinyang turned over and got out of bed to put on slippers, and asked the old lady: "Beauty, since you were a child, what thing have I ever disappointed you?" ”
When the old lady heard this, she was relieved, but she still snorted coldly: "In this matter of Xiaoxi, you have disappointed me so much. ”
"Isn't that just trying to make up for it now?"
"Let me ask you, if I don't carry out a surprise attack and don't suddenly return to China, do you plan to hide from me for the rest of my life?"
Xu Jinyang's sincere eyes looked at the old lady: "I swear, I really don't plan to hide it from you for the rest of my life." Before you came to China, I wanted to take that woman back to Canada to visit you, but she didn't want to go. What can I do? ”
The old lady put on an expression of reluctance to forgive him, but her mouth was still unforgiving: "Who called you such a bastard, if I were Xiaoxi, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you except for the child." ”
Xu Jinyang was speechless for a while, only to feel extremely depressed, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask the old lady: "Am I really so unforgivable?" ”
He never told Ao Yunxi, in fact, now he really wants to be a good father, even ...... Good husband.
The old lady said angrily: "Nonsense, if you really want a child, and your woman insists on beating it, I don't think you will be angry?" ”
Xu Jinyang was speechless.
Will he never be able to turn over?
Seeing his remorseful expression, the old lady couldn't bear to hit him again, so she patted him on the shoulder instead, and comforted him earnestly: "Jinyang, the most terrible thing about people is not making mistakes, but not changing them." Now that you know what you did wrong, you have to treat Xiaoxi well in the future, even if it's not for the child, this is what you owe her. ”
Xu Jinyang's eyes suddenly became a dignified color.
The old lady showed a gentle smile and continued to pat him on the shoulder twice: "Behave well today and win the forgiveness of your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Got it? ”
When Xu Jinyang heard this, he laughed at himself: "Ao Yunxi doesn't want to see me, how can his parents easily forgive me?" ”
The old lady said seriously: "There are two ancient sayings in China, one is that people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the other is that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." Jinyang, my good grandson, even if you are not reminded by others, you must know that there are countless ways to win the liking of others. ”
Xu Jinyang's handsome face showed a thoughtful expression.
