On weekends, Jiang Li lies on a recliner in the small garden and reads a book, exposing her fair skin to the sun.

Transparent skin, as if you can't see a trace of pores.

She looked at it and fell asleep with the book in her arms.

The housekeeper walked over with an invitation and shouted softly, "Madam, the Shen family has sent you an invitation." ”

"Show me." Jiang Li looked at the gilded stroke invitation, and opened it to be an invitation to Old Man Shen's birthday banquet.

The Shen family wrote the names of Jiang Li and Li Sichen on the invitation sticker, and asked them to attend the banquet tomorrow night.

Throwing the invitation aside without interest, Jiang Li said to Hache, "You go and ask Li Sichen if he is going, and he is helping me prepare a dress." ”

It's a feast.

Judging from the description on the poster, it is estimated that only a few members of the Shen family attended this old man's birthday banquet.

In other words, Jiang Li will definitely encounter difficulties if he goes.

If Li Sichen is willing to go with Jiang Li, it will naturally be Shen's father who flatters Li Sichen and asks Li Sichen to help the Shen family's banquet.

Either way, it was a Hongmen banquet for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said that it was better for him to ask in person, took the book and approached Li Sichen's study, and knocked on the door, "Mr. Li, the Shen family invites you to participate in Mr. Shen's banquet tomorrow." ”

"I have a very important meeting tomorrow and I don't have time for the time being." Li Sichen looked at Jiang Li and pointed to the back, "You're taking a step back." ”

"Hehe, stingy." Jiang Li took a step back and asked again, "Could you please come back after the meeting?" ”

"It depends." Li Sichen frowned, he pointed farther away and asked Jiang Li to stand over.

Jiang Li, who was a little irritable by Li Sichen, took a step forward very strongly. She stood at the door of the study, and even reached out and touched the door.

"Please also ask Mr. Li to come to Shen's house in person, no matter what the situation is. Maybe I can still owe you a favor. Jiang Li bent down and closed the door, as if he remembered something again, "By the way, I will prepare your gift together, so you don't need to prepare one." ”

After speaking, Jiang Li closed the door.

Back in the room, Jiang Li dragged out a suitcase from the cloakroom, which contained some of the original owner's luggage.

She thought about it carefully, and took out a sandalwood box from the suitcase, which was a gift prepared by the original owner for Old Man Shen.

It was the original owner who personally looked for a rough stone, but asked a teacher to learn carving, and carefully prepared a gift for a long time.

Unfortunately, she never had a chance to give it away again.

Jiang Li decided to replace the original owner and give the gift to Old Man Shen, which also fulfilled the relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren.

After checking the balance, Jiang Li knocked on the study door again, and this time she stood far away and looked at Li Sichen with a black face.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, it's a little hard to say. I don't have any money, I can't go out to buy gifts for the old man, please lend me some, and when my design is sold, I will definitely pay you back. Jiang Li was a little sad.

She had never been so short of money, and her design drafts had been hung up with the help of the academy teachers.

There is no news yet, so she can only wait quietly.

The only money on the card is the 50,000 won in the game. She is going to prepare a jade Buddha for Old Man Shen, hoping to bring blessings to Old Man Shen.

She looked at the websites of major stores, and the cheapest Jade Buddha on them started at 100,000, and her money was not enough.

It's a little embarrassing.

Li Sichen had a cold face, and he didn't know how to answer, "The gift housekeeper has already prepared, and I will ask the housekeeper to give you a card, which is an unlimited secondary card." You are my wife, and it's normal for you to use my money. ”

"Mr. Li, we are going to divorce sooner or later, I can't use your money, and I don't dare to use it." So as not to get involved in the time.

Jiang Li's words made Li Sichen's face finally get better, and it was even worse. He turned his hand and closed the door, warning Jiang Li not to be near his room and study from today onwards, and he couldn't pass by.

Glancing at his room, Jiang Li said that he couldn't do it.

Every time she went back to her room, she would pass by Li Sichen's room, who made their rooms next to each other?

This is difficult for a strong man.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Li took the gifts prepared by the original owner, the gifts of Li Sichen, and the gifts she prepared for the old man, and got into the car and went to Shen's house.

"Why did you come here so late?" Father Shen frowned and looked at Jiang Li, waited and asked, "What about Mr. Li?" ”

"He has a very important international conference, and he is still meeting in the company?" Jiang Li handed the gifts to the old man standing aside, and she happily pointed to two of them, "Grandpa, these two are gifts I prepared for you, do you like them?" ”

Old Man Shen nodded with a smile, he held Jiang Li's hand, and kept saying that she was dead and would eat more later.

I asked her if she was wronged in the Li family, if she couldn't get by, she would come back, and grandpa would raise you.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm doing well. I've been studying hard lately, and I have endless homework to do every day. Jiang Li explained affectionately, and said that the old man should be allowed to open the gift in the house.

Opening the sandalwood box, Old Man Shen shook his hand and took out the gift with rough carving, but very attentive.

Immediately took it in his hand and played with it, nodding again and again, "Grandpa likes it very much, you are attentive." ”

"Grandpa, you're opening another one to take a look, and this is a gift from Si Chen, I don't even know what's in it." Jiang Li put a black and red box in front of Old Man Shen.

provoked Old Man Shen to smile helplessly, "You, you are still a child." ”

He opened them one by one, and the black box contained a string of Buddhist beads, all of which were crystal clear, and they were all made of fine jade.

The red box is a palm-sized jade Buddha, which is not of great color but very good.

"The gifts you prepared, grandpa liked. Is this Buddha bead a little valuable? Old Man Shen looked at the Buddha beads several times, and still felt that Li Sichen had made a mistake in his preparation.

Jiang Li smiled, "Grandpa, this is the gift that Si Chen prepared for you, Si Chen and I both hope that you can live a long life and be in good health." ”

"You kid, you keep this Buddha bead, and return it to Mr. Li when you go back." Old Man Shen touched Jiang Li's head.

Jiang Li's marriage to Li Sichen was originally a substitute marriage, and he couldn't accept anything from such a valuable gift.

He only hoped that the Li family would be kind to this poor child.

He's too old to protect her.

"Don't blame grandpa for being ruthless and marrying you off. Mr. Li is a good person and a good husband, and you will be happy when you get married. Old Man Shen felt that the original owner, Shen Muliang, was staying in the Shen family.

Sooner or later, it will be used by Shen's father in exchange for benefits, and it is better to marry Li Sichen than to follow a person who does not know character.

At least, he could protect her.
