Chapter 18 The old man knows how to do it

Upon arriving at the law firm, the members involved in the resort hotel project were called to the conference room for an internal meeting.

The meeting didn't end until lunch break. After it ended, Xu Qingwu and Yang Yu came out of the meeting room. Before they reached their workstations, they saw a group of people gathered together.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Huang Yun who was surrounded in the middle.

Huang Yun was holding a bouquet of red roses in his arms, and there was a brand new Hermès bag on the table.

"Huang Lu, your boyfriend is so generous. He gave her such an expensive bag just when we got together!"

"That's right, you still remember to send flowers, it's quite romantic."

Huang Yun pretended to be shy: "Oh, it's just a small gift."

Yang Yu made a nauseous expression and silently mouthed something to Xu Qingwu.

Loading.

Xu Qingwu didn't comment. She had no interest in other people's feelings. She asked Yang Yu, "Do you want to go eat?"

"Clear mist."

Huang Yun called her in a delicate voice and walked towards her.

Xu Qingwu frowned slightly, not knowing what Huang Yun was going to do next, so as not to disturb her meal.

Huang Yun placed the red roses on Xu Qingwu's desk and said with a smile, "You gave me a bouquet last time, so I'm giving you one this time. Isn't it true that no one else gives you one?"

Chen Xiao had been pursuing Xu Qingwu for two months and had been sending her red roses for two months, except for the weekends. But after Xu Qingwu drew a line with him the day before yesterday, the red roses stopped.

The entire law firm knew that Xu Qingwu's suitor had given up.

"Thank you, but I don't like red roses."

Because of rhinitis, Xu Qingwu is not interested in all flowers. Flowers are beautiful, but nasal allergies are really uncomfortable.

Yang Yu couldn't stand Huang Yun's smug look and said sarcastically, "It's just a bouquet of flowers. Isn't this the first time you've received one?"

Huang Yun and Yang Yu had been holding a grudge for a long time, and Huang Yun retorted, "It's better than someone not receiving it at all."

While the two were arguing, the receptionist walked in with an orange bag in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

"Xu Lu, someone sent it to you."

Xu Qingwu was puzzled, then took it after thanking him.

The bouquet is beautifully wrapped, with flower stalks above the green leaves, which are pink, feather-like, soft as silk, and dotted with tiny seeds, like smoke and fog, with a hazy beauty.

This was the first time Xu Qingwu had seen this flower. There was a small label printed on the branch: 'Lover in the Mist'.

What a beautiful name.

Xu Qingwu put down the flower and pulled out the card on it.

The card was handwritten in a strong and powerful font.

[Madam, an apology gift. P.S.: No pollen, no irritation to the nose. — Cen Xihuai]

This was the first time someone gave her flowers that she could accept with peace of mind.

Xu Qingwu put down the flowers and opened the orange bag. Inside was an orange packaging box. Xu Qingwu opened the dust bag and found a rare leather Hermès Birkin.

After the business trip gift came an apology gift, flowers and a bag. As expected, it was definitely Assistant Yao's idea.

Yang Yu deliberately asked loudly in front of Huang Yun: "Wow, Qingwu, which suitor gave you this Hermès?"

Xu Qingwu smiled faintly: "My husband took the time to get married a few days ago."

Yang Yu: "Oh my god, you actually betrayed the organization! How come I didn't know you had a boyfriend?"

"My family introduced us." Xu Qingwu patted her shoulder and said, "Try hard to earn the membership fee."

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

Everyone gathered around again. Some wanted to see Xu Qingwu and Huang Yun fighting each other, some wanted to see Hermes, and some wanted to watch the wedding gossip.

Some sharp-eyed people noticed that Xu Qingwu and Huang Yun’s bags looked exactly the same, but there were slight differences in hardware and other details.

Things are getting interesting.

"Qingwu, the bag your husband gave you is exactly the same as the bag Xiaoyun's boyfriend gave her!"

"It's so hard to wait for this rare Birkin leather, but two appeared in our law firm. What a feast for the eyes today!"

"The handle and hardware seem a little different. Am I seeing things?"

"Don't tell me it's true..."

Everyone fell silent. It was obvious that one of the bags was real and the other was fake, or perhaps both were fake.

Of course Cen Xihuai couldn't have given a fake one, so the problem could only be that it was given by Huang Yun's boyfriend. But now everyone was watching the fun, and if it was exposed, it would be too embarrassing, and it would be even more difficult to get along harmoniously in the future.

Xu Qingwu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as long as I can recite it, it's fine."

Huang Yun's bag was given to her by Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao went to the bar that night after being completely rejected by Xu Qingwu, and met Huang Yun there. They both drank a lot of alcohol, and they had sex together after waking up from the alcohol.

Originally, Huang Yun was a little worried that something might go wrong with her bag. After all, the bag was very valuable, and she and Chen Xiao had just gotten together.

But after hearing what Xu Qingwu said, Huang Yun suddenly felt confident.

Moreover, she recognized the flowers that Xu Qingwu's husband had given her. Although they looked fuller and more beautiful, they were just weeds that were usually placed next to flowers for decoration.

A man who is so stingy as to give flowers like this, can he also give a real bag?

Huang Yun called over a male lawyer who was sitting there. "Lawyer Xiao, isn't your girlfriend a luxury goods salesperson? Ask her for a favor."

Xu Qingwu: "...It's not necessary, I don't care."

Huang Yun insisted: "Giving a cheap bag is fine, but giving a fake bag is a different matter. Qingwu, you and your husband haven't known each other for long, don't let yourself be tricked into marriage. Old men are very good at it now."

Yang Yu had a cousin who ran a flower shop. She recognized that the flowers Xu Qingwu's husband had given her weren't expensive. She whispered to Xu Qingwu worriedly, "Qingwu, is your husband reliable? Do you want me to help you?"

Xu Qingwu is an easygoing person who doesn't like to be the center of attention, but that doesn't mean she is afraid of trouble and can be bullied.

Huang Yun has targeted her time and again, and now he is mocking Cen Xihuai. As long as she endures it today, Huang Yun will not stop in the future and will definitely continue to use this matter to provoke her from time to time.

Xu Qingwu said calmly, "Since Huang Lu insists, let's do an appraisal."

Xu Qingwu actually agreed!

Seeing her calm and composed look, Huang Yun felt a little uneasy.

But the atmosphere has reached this point, it is impossible to stop.

Everyone became excited and someone volunteered to take pictures of their bags. Her phone had a good pixel and the pictures were clear.

The photos of the two bags were sent to Xiao Lu, who sent them to his girlfriend.

After Xiao Lu's girlfriend heard about this ridiculous incident from Xiao Lu, she was eagerly waiting for the follow-up. Now, as soon as she received the photos, she immediately went to look for the person.

Xu Qingwu looked at Yang Yu: "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."

Yang Yu: "Go!"

The spectators were still waiting for the result, but the melon eater left.

Everyone was talking about it.

"Is Xu Qingwu afraid?"

"What kind of good man can my family introduce me to? The good men in the blind date market are like a shared bicycle left alone in a busy area. Who knows what hidden flaws they might have."

Huang Yun pointed at the flowers on Xu Qingwu's desk and said, "Do you recognize that flower? It's a cotinus coggygria, a cheap weed."

"Ah? Could it be that Qingwu was really tricked into marriage by an old man?"
