Chapter 54: Why Don't You Bring a Gift
Jiang Tianwu laughed and hugged Zhang Li and left, and the two went downstairs with a smile.
Jiang Yan was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night and kept rolling in bed.
"It's better to go home, what Zhao Fan and Jiang Xiao are going to get out of the way! Sure enough, my dad still loves me. She kept thinking about it in her mind, and Jiang Yan fell into a deep sleep holding the soft quilt.
Jiang Xiao couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, she didn't really care about her home, and it was impossible not to care about her only relative.
"Ugh." She sighed softly in the dark night, and Jiang Xiao, who was just about to turn her body, was held by a pair of powerful arms. She stiffened, feeling the constant heat coming from her arms.
"Don't think about it, go to sleep." The male voice from behind brought her a great calming effect.
Following Gu Cheng's words, Jiang Xiao closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
The sky was bright, and Gu Cheng, who got up early, came to the room to wake up Jiang Xiao. "Get up, don't you have to go home for your sister's birthday later?" He opened the closed curtains and windows to ventilate the room, and when he passed by the bed, he saw Jiang Xiao staring in a daze and couldn't help but rub her head.
"She's so cute." He took advantage of Jiang Xiao's failure to come back to his senses and immediately stopped. Gu Cheng pursed his lips, thinking about the touch in his hand, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but flush slightly.
He stood in front of Jiang Xiao solemnly, "I'll send you when you go back today." Hurry up and pack it up, I've bought it and I'm waiting for you to eat it in the morning. Looking at Jiang Xiao, who was dumbfounded, his hands began to itch again. Gu Cheng clenched his fist to his lips and quickly left the room with a fake cough, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his hand if he stayed any longer.
The two of them packed up and drove back to the house where Jiang Xiao grew up.
Zhang Li, who was arranging the house inside the door, heard the sound of the car, "It should be Jiang Xiao who is back, I'll go out and have a look." She put down the work in her hand and said to Jiang Tianwu, who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.
Jiang Tianwu, who hadn't seen Jiang Xiao for a long time, was a little uncomfortable tidying up his clothes when he heard the sound of the car. Zhang Li, who had already seen through it, smiled sarcastically in her heart, but still showed her standard gentle smile on her face.
"Go ahead, huh! I haven't been in touch with my family for so long, and I won't come back if I don't call her home. It's really like a daughter who gets married, like water spilled out. Jiang Tianwu said dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Li walked to the door and saw that Jiang Xiao was the only one, and she didn't plan to pretend.
"Yo, you're finally willing to come back?" She stepped forward and circled Jiang Xiao in a presumptuous manner, and Zhang Li had a malicious smile on her face.
Jiang Xiao frowned, unable to stand her rudeness and arrogance. "Have you seen enough, you don't care where I want to go." Jiang Xiao shot back.
Zhang Li brushed her face with hatred, so much so that Jiang Xiao felt that she would rush up and tear her face at any time. "Humph! You don't have a mother, of course no one cares! You are just a bargaining chip for our Jiang family to marry another family, and no one has the leisure to care about you. She poked Jiang Xiao's sore spot every word.
"You don't have the surname Jiang, and you are not a member of our Jiang family!" Jiang Xiao's reason is about to collapse, and Zhang Li is the person who pokes people the most, almost one poke and one accurate.
Gu Cheng, who had not left in the distance, looked at Jiang Xiao from afar, and felt very suspicious when he saw Zhang Li and her facing each other at the gate.
"I'm not going in, you can talk to Dad, I'm leaving." Jiang Xiao turned around and didn't want to entangle with Zhang Li too much, she was not in the mood to stay with Zhang Li and Jiang Yan now, let alone celebrate Jiang Yan's birthday.
Zhang Li looked at her back as she wanted to leave, and the corners of her mouth hooked.
"Don't go! Why did you just come and leave? Zhang Li deliberately shouted loudly, and she looked at Jiang Xiao's figure and stiffened in an instant. Zhang Li's mood that had just been scolded was now refreshed.
Jiang Xiao stopped, she knew that she really couldn't leave easily now. Jiang Tianwu's footsteps gradually sounded, and he looked at Jiang Xiao, who was standing far away from the door, and reacted in combination with Zhang Li's words just now.
"What's going on! What do you mean when you don't come in and leave when you get to the door? Now that we're married, we won't be treated, but it's the same thing, right? Don't even want to enter the house? Jiang Tianwu's footsteps hadn't stopped, and his questioning was smashed down with his head and face.
As before, as long as he heard Zhang Li yelling, Jiang Tianwu scolded himself regardless of it. Jiang Xiao's eyes darkened, she was really disappointed, she was very disappointed in Jiang Tianwu's father.
kept saying that they had no one in their eyes when they got married, and they didn't want to think about whether they had decided to marry Gu Cheng? Jiang Xiao shouted in her heart, but none of the two people in front of her could hear the cry of blood in her heart.
Gu Cheng, who felt that something was wrong before, had already gotten out of the car and came to Jiang Xiao's side, and her heart warmed when she noticed Gu Cheng's arrival. The heart that was hurt by his family flowed a warm current. She turned her head, "Go back to the car, I can take care of this." I'll be back to you in a moment. ”
Zhang Li watched Jiang Tianwu's vigorous arrival, changing her previous snarky appearance, and her eyes held back tears. "Eh, don't be angry, Jiang Xiao is this little temper, you don't know it, just give her Shunshun." Zhang Li stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Tianwu, who wanted to rush in front of Jiang Xiao.
"Shun, Shun! Such a big person is not sensible, don't stop me, I have to teach her a good lesson today! Jiang Tianwu trembled with anger, and the back of the hand he was holding was bruised. Jiang Yan, who was following him, was stunned and excited. After all, she was very happy to see Jiang Xiao unlucky.
Zhang Li blinked, smoothly letting the tears flow. She looked at Jiang Tianwu sadly, "Maybe I didn't say it well before, Jiang Xiao doesn't like to listen to it." Don't blame her, it's all my fault. Looking at his wife's tears, Jiang Tianwu suddenly felt distressed. He scrambled to comfort.
Jiang Xiao felt that she was out of place among them, and she quietly watched Zhang Li finish the show, and she was not sad or happy. Jiang Yan came up, "Sister, it's my birthday today, did you bring me a gift?" She pretended to be innocent and looked up at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao suddenly realized that she had come empty-handed, and her face was ugly. "I forgot, I'll make up one for you next time." In view of the fact that Jiang Yan is a birthday star today, Jiang Xiao did not give her too ugly, and uncharacteristically agreed to make up for it.
Jiang Yan looked at her empty hand with a look of surprise. Jiang Xiao looked at her and suddenly regretted what she had just promised. "Sister, you've disappointed me so much, you don't really care about my birthday at all, do you?" Jiang Yan, like her mother, instantly became tearful.
Jiang Tianwu, who was attracted by the movements of the two of them, the anger he had just calmed down was instantly burned again, "You are really! What do you want me to say about you?! Don't you even care about any of us! Jiang Tianwu's eyebrows were raised, looking terrifying.
Jiang Xiao's face was ugly, and then he shrugged his shoulders: "Since this is the case, then I'll go and prepare one now." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Li hurriedly snorted, pretending to intercede for Jiang Xiao, Jiang Tianwu endured his anger and welcomed the family into the living room.
Jiang Yan held Zhang Li's arm, sat on the sofa affectionately, and deliberately showed a mother-daughter affection in front of Jiang Xiao, and from time to time the two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, deliberately excluding Jiang Xiao on the side.
"Mom, I've noticed that you're getting better and better. I don't know, I think we're sisters. Jiang Yan leaned on Zhang Li's body, said obediently, and glared at Jiang Xiao, quite a posture of giving her a dismount.
"It's all nonsense, when did your mouth become so sweet." Zhang Li listened to Jiang Yan's words, although she was polite, she still couldn't stop smiling on her face, after all, Jiang Yan's words were still very useful to her, and she patted Jiang Yan's head gently.
Jiang Xiao watched the picture of the deep love between the mother and daughter of the two, and didn't say anything, although she felt very uncomfortable, she didn't show it, just to see how long they could act.
Jiang Tianwu on the other side looked at Jiang Xiao's indifferent attitude, which made him very annoyed, after all, Zhang Li was her mother, Jiang Yan was her sister, and she didn't take them in her eyes at all, which was simply unseemly.
"What are you doing sitting there alone? Didn't you even say hello when you came home? What does it look like! Jiang Tianwu said angrily directly, not caring about Jiang Xiao's feelings at all.
After listening to his father's words, Jiang Xiao had no choice, in order to take care of his face, he said very politely, "It's been a long time since you came, how are you doing?" ”
Jiang Tianwu snorted, ignoring what Jiang Xiao said, Jiang Yan saw such a situation on the side, saw the stitches, and asked about her gift.
"It's my birthday today, and you didn't bring me a gift, you're really embarrassed." Jiang Yan's face was full of disdain, and her look of disgust was unobstructed.
Listening to what Jiang Yan said, Jiang Tianwu also had a seizure, because he just saw that Jiang Xiao's mobile phone was only holding his own bag, and there was nothing else, so he also helped Jiang Yan to ask her together.
"That's it, I already told you, it's your sister's birthday, why don't you bring a gift?"
Hearing the two singing and harmonizing, Jiang Xiao was stunned, the two of them actually questioned themselves here just because she didn't bring a gift, her heart was cold for a moment, and Jiang Tianwu also questioned herself.
"No, you don't have to ask me anymore, I didn't bring anything." Jiang Xiao said calmly, quietly looking at the unpredictable faces of the three people in front of her.
"It's okay, if you don't bring it, you don't bring it, and you can make it up tomorrow." Zhang Li pretended to persuade on the side, but she still showed that she attached great importance to the gift, and looked at Jiang Yan brightly, with a hypocritical smile on her face.
Jiang Xiao listened to Zhang Li's blatant expression of her purpose on the side, and was annoyed for a moment, why did she want to give gifts to these people who had almost nothing to do with her, it was not worth it at all.
