Chapter 105: A Gift for My Sister
In a shopping mall, at a counter selling headwear, Jiang Xiyue was looking at a hairpin placed in the display case.
"Hello, could you please take out this hairpin so I can have a look?"
"Okay." The saleswoman took out the particularly rustic-looking hairpin and placed it on the counter.
It didn’t look very high-end, but Linzhou glanced at the price.
3999...not on discount yet...
But the material of the entire hairpin should be rose gold, and the only decoration on it is a small diamond inlaid at the end.
It wasn't that expensive after all. Jiang Xiyue took out the membership card from her bag, handed it to the salesgirl, then stood next to Lin Susu holding the hairpin.
"I originally wanted to buy you a bracelet or something, but this hairpin suits your skin tone, so I'll give it to you as a gift. I can't let you call me sister for nothing."
Jiang Xiyue raised her head, reached out and clipped the hairpin on Lin Susu's hair just above her ear, then took the membership card back from the saleswoman.
As for the prepared packaging and gift bags, she didn't want any of them.
This thing was given to Lin Susu for her to wear. If she hadn't been short of money recently, she would have been given a watch.
Having a hairpin put on her head, Lin Susu was at a loss and could only nod slightly.
"Thank you, sister . I... this is for you..."
Lin Susu was not prepared when she suddenly received the gift. She took off the bracelet on her other hand and put it in Jiang Xiyue's hand.
Although it is not as expensive as the hairpin, it is considered a return gift. He has never had the habit of accepting gifts from others for free since he was a child.
Of course, there are exceptions to this custom, that is, if your brother gives you a gift, you don’t have to reciprocate. If you do, you may get scolded.
Looking at the star bracelet stuffed into her hand, Jiang Xiyue smiled, a very happy smile.
The last time Linzhou saw this kind of smile was when he spent Christmas with her.
But the two girls got along well, which was what Linzhou wanted to see. After taking the bags from the two girls, he spoke.
"Let's go. No need to show off sisterly love. Let's go eat first."
Holding a girl in each hand, Linzhou took them out of the mall and headed back to the agreed hotel.
The remaining distance was not far and we arrived there quickly.
Three people stood in the lobby, waiting patiently...
Ten minutes later, two middle-aged men walked in arm in arm. They recognized the three people at a glance and walked quickly towards them.
"Go upstairs, let's go and have dinner!" Su Daqiang patted Linzhou's shoulder and motioned him to follow with the two girls.
Just like that, the five people walked out of the elevator and into a room. There were cold dishes and various drinks on the table, and of course, there were also fruits that were not readily available in this season.
After sitting down, Linzhou sat between the two girls, not saying a word, just sitting there quietly.
He was thinking...if his father said later that his family was actually rich, how would he respond?
Although I have asked him every now and then if he is short of money since last year, his answer is always yes.
If I had known earlier, I should have kept some of it back… At least my dad would feel better… When he was in the first year of high school, every time he called home, my dad, who was in his forties, would always cry…
While Linzhou was thinking about these things, Jiang Xiyue had already handed the yogurt to his mouth.
"Zhou Zhou, what are you thinking about? You look unhappy."
"Nothing, just daydreaming." Linzhou shook his head slightly and did not answer truthfully. It is better to think about such troubles by himself.
There's no need to give all the negative energy to the little girl.
Su Daqiang, who was sitting opposite, took a look at the yogurt handed to Linzhou's mouth and became unhappy. He slammed the table and stood up.
"Linzhou, come over here and drink with us two old guys. You are a real man, why are you drinking milk?"
"Uh..." This sentence completely interrupted Linzhou's train of thought. He leaned forward slightly, took the yogurt straw in Jiang Xiyue's hand, took a big sip, and then reached out to take it for himself.
To be honest, he doesn't like drinking white wine very much. It tastes spicy and pungent, and he has no idea where the fragrance comes from.
I have to accompany my sister to visit schools in the afternoon, so I definitely can't drink.
"Godfather, I can't really drink this. Just enjoy your drink with my dad. I have something else to do this afternoon."
After hearing the word "adoptive father", Lin Susu's face was full of confusion. She looked at Lin Zhou and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's going on? How did you become my adoptive father?"
"It's okay, your father asked me to recognize him. Uncle Su is also Xiaoxi's uncle. It's okay..." Linzhou explained in a low voice, then sat there in a daze.
Su Daqiang did not force Linzhou not to drink, but instead started to get along with Lin's father.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes...
Linzhou sat there, looking at the two middle-aged men with red faces, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade them.
How can you drink so much? You really think you are a young man.
But before Linzhou could take any action, Jiang Xiyue stood up, walked to the two middle-aged men, put away the wine glasses and replaced them with yogurt.
"You two are not allowed to drink anymore, that's too much , each of you has almost had two bottles..."
"Okay, we'll listen to you." The two men unanimously agreed with Jiang Xiyue's statement. After all, the future daughter-in-law/niece is a creature that is not to be trifled with.
………
Since someone had spoken, Linzhou stopped talking and just sat there quietly.
Before he could say anything, two red envelopes were placed in front of him, and then Su Daqiang, who was drunk, put his arm around his shoulders.
"Now you have to accept it. You can take the house and use it as a company. There is only one thousand yuan in this red envelope...hiccup..."
Linzhou, who was choked by the burp, nodded repeatedly. He felt that if he didn't agree, Su Daqiang would choke him to death.
After taking care of Linzhou, Su Daqiang forced the red envelope into Lin Susu's bag again, then sat there burping with satisfaction. He hadn't felt so happy in a long time.
The last time I drank like this was with Yueyue’s dad. Now that guy just hangs out in the lab all day.
I have more money than I can spend, and I don’t know how to enjoy life.
All he does is bury himself in experiments in that research institute that normal people can't enter...
At this time, Father Lin looked at his son, stood up from the table, and walked to Lin Zhou.
"Hey, big boy, come out for a moment."
"good!"
After agreeing, Linzhou got up from his chair and followed his father to the corridor, and the father and son stood in front of the window.
After a little preparation, Father Lin spoke.
"Linzhou, our family is actually rich. We have been very rich since you were a sophomore in high school..."
