Lu Jiyang was unaware of everyone's inner thoughts and continued to speak in a self-indulgent manner.

"Second sister, aren't you going to Laos for your next concert tour next month? Please bring this watch with you. It will help monitor your health and also carry my care for you, okay?"

Lu Qingru nodded outwardly, holding the watch that Lu Jiyang had given her.

It's shaped like a pink bunny and made of rough material.

Thinking about Lu Chi's thoughts just now, Lu Qingru felt a little depressed.

Did Ji Yang's younger brother really buy his watch for 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Pinduoduo?

Me, a top international superstar, wearing a watch that costs only 9.9 yuan with free shipping?!

If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off!

"Second sister," Lu Jiyang helped Lu Qingru put the watch on her wrist, "Let me put it on you... Wow! It looks so good, so cute!"

After offering a few words of praise, Lu Jiyang said with deep affection:

"Second sister, although this watch isn't worth much, it's a token of my affection. In my heart, you've always been a lovely little girl, and that hasn't changed. Pink suits you best."

Indeed, pink is Lu Qingru's favorite color.

Although the watch wasn't expensive, Lu Jiyang's flattery was spot on.

Lu Qingru's gloom dissipated.

Whether it was bought from Pinduoduo or somewhere else, as long as it was bought by Ji Yang's younger brother, it's a token of his affection.

The sentiment is far more important than money.

Besides, our family isn't short of money; we can buy as many watches as we want, even those costing hundreds of thousands or millions.

But the sentiment is the most valuable thing.

Lu Qingru hugged Lu Jiyang and said thank you, "Thank you, little brother Jiyang. I was in a hurry this time and didn't have time to bring you a gift. I'll take you shopping another day. Buy whatever you want!"

Shopping?

Very good!

Now it's time to take advantage of these deals!

Lu Jiyang was overjoyed and gave Lu Chi a provocative look.

Oh!

Lu Chi, you country bumpkin, look carefully!

That's the difference!

My second sister will take me to buy gifts. Will she take you?

Although he was secretly delighted, Lu Jiyang pretended to refuse: "No need, Second Sister. You've had a long journey and you usually have to participate in various activities. You should take a good rest when you have time."

Hearing Lu Jiyang say this, Lu Qingru was even more moved.

"Ji Yang, you're so kind. You always think about your sister's health. It seems that your sister's love for you has not been in vain."

Lu Jiyang nodded.

"Isn't it normal for a younger brother to care about his older sister? By the way..."

Lu Jiyang turned his head toward Lu Chi, who was eating.

She said, "Brother Lu Chi, I heard you say the other day that you would give Second Sister a gift when she arrives. Have you prepared what gift to give her?"

Lu Chi was enjoying his meal when he suddenly heard Lu Jiyang's words, and he almost vomited up his food.

He forced a smile.

But in his heart, he was cursing.

[That bastard Lu Jiyang, he won't let me off the hook, will he? My mom just woke me up at noon today, how was I supposed to know my second sister was coming back? Is he deliberately trying to embarrass me?]

"Second sister, I'm so sorry. Mom called me over at noon to meet someone. I didn't know you were coming back today. If I had known, I would have prepared a gift for you."

Lu Chi explained, but Lu Jiyang refused to let go of the opportunity to sow discord between Lu Chi and his second sister, Lu Qingru.

"Second sister, Brother Lu Chi did tell me a few days ago that he was going to give you a gift, but he probably forgot today. It's okay, Brother Lu Chi transferred from a regular school to our school."

It's normal to struggle with studies and get distracted. Plus, he doesn't know his second sister and hasn't lived with her since childhood, so it's understandable that their relationship is a little distant. It will get better with time.

As expected, Lu Qingru was displeased with Lu Jiyang's words.

"Hmph! I don't accept gifts from just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"

Lu Chi: [Lu Jiyang, you're so mean! You deliberately said I wasn't doing well in school, and that I forgot to give you a gift because my relationship with Lu Qingru had cooled off. Ha! Cool off, so be it!]

Lu Chi glanced at Lu Qingru and Lu Jiyang and sneered, "I won't interfere with your sibling relationship. After all, I believe that even if I bought a watch from Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping, my second sister wouldn't be used to wearing it."

However, since Ji Yang bought it, it's a token of his affection. Ji Yang, you don't need to be so biased, only buying for your second sister; you didn't buy anything for your other sisters.

Anyway, each watch is only 9.9 yuan, it won't cost much. If you want to buy one, just buy one for each of the ladies. If that's not possible, you can send me the link and I'll buy it for you.

After all, you gave away all the 400,000 yuan your fifth sister gave you, so it's normal that you don't have any money left.

Lu Jiyang: "..." How did he know I gave the money to someone else?

Since Lu Chi didn't mention it, everyone was so focused on Lu Jiyang giving away the watch that they almost forgot about how Lu Jiyang spent 400,000 yuan to bribe someone to frame Lu Chi.

Lu Yunke stood up abruptly and asked, "Ji Yang, where's the money I gave you?"

Lu Jiyang: "I..."

Lu Yunke: "Ji Yang, I'm asking you a question."

Lu Jiyang: "I... Fifth Sister, I... I used the money."

Lu Yunke was somewhat unhappy.

"Ji Yang, that money was only given to you a few days ago, and you've already spent it all? What did you buy with it?"

Lu Chi: [What did I use it to buy? Of course, to buy people to frame me.]

Everyone heard Lu Chi's thoughts, so when Lu Yunke questioned Lu Jiyang, no one spoke.

They were just waiting for Lu Jiyang to give a reasonable answer.
