Chapter 548: A Scheming Bitch

Deng Sisi saw such a large box and knew it definitely wasn't jewelry. Her expression was a little dull, but she said, "I told you, Sister Mengmeng is the most filial. Putting aside the price of the gift, just looking at its size, it's the heaviest gift we juniors have ever given you."

I smiled cunningly, opened the box, and motioned Xiao Shiqiu to take out the things inside for me.

Xiao Shiqiu was holding a Chinese longevity knot that was taller than me in his hand. No one spoke for a moment. I knew they probably couldn't find the right words to praise me.

I kindly guided them: "Does it look good?"

My dad was the first to come to his senses: "It looks good. My daughter has always had good taste and excellent aesthetics!"

Deng Sisi laughed out loud, mocking me openly: "Sister Mengmeng, what's the use of this thing you bought? This kind of thing is only liked by old men and women. My aunt is so young, why would you give her a longevity character?"

I said seriously, "Do gifts have to be useful? Why not just give her money? My mom can buy whatever she thinks is useful. But with my dad around, has she ever been short of money?"

My dad thought I was praising him and straightened his back proudly.

"Giving gifts is a thoughtful gesture. I hope my mother can live a long and healthy life. Is there anything wrong with that?" I said righteously, and Deng Sisi smiled a little embarrassedly.

My mother was a little disgusted, but since there were strangers around, she acted very touched and said, despite her sincerity, "It's very beautiful. I like it very much. I'll ask your father to hang it up later." She looked around the room and said, "Let's hang it in the entrance."

In fact, I really don't think it's necessary to hang it up. My house is decorated in European style, and I think it's a bit eye-catching to hang a big red longevity character as soon as you enter the door.

But as long as my mother is happy, I can only stay at home for a few days a year anyway.

Seeing that my mother seemed to really like the gift I gave her, Deng Sisi quickly took out a small box from her pocket, took my mother's arm and said, "Auntie, this is a gift I prepared for you."

When the small box was opened, it revealed a pair of fashionable earrings with a somewhat exaggerated shape, a style that my mother would never wear normally.

But Deng Sisi likes this style the most. You can tell at a glance that this is jewelry bought for herself under the guise of buying a gift for my mother.

Since high school, she has learned to give my mother a gift that she likes but my mother has no use for at all. Every time she says it is a thoughtful gift from her, but she is too stupid to choose a gift.

In the end, my mother would always symbolically accept the gift and give it to her the next day, saying that it was more suitable for a girl like her.

What a scheming bitch!

This time she used the same trick again, but my mother just smiled, gave me a casual compliment, and put the earrings away.

She then handed over the bracelet Lu Yuanqing had given her, "Xiao Lu, this bracelet is indeed too valuable. I can't accept it. You take it back. Auntie will accept it as a token of my appreciation."

Lu Yuanqing was about to persuade my mother to accept it, but Deng Sisi, as if afraid that everyone would not know Lu Yuanqing's identity, hurriedly chimed in, "Aunt, others may think this bracelet is expensive, but it's nothing to Brother Yuanqing. He is the only heir to the COLLIN family. The Lu family is a well-known and prestigious family in City A."

She glanced at me as she spoke. It seemed that Deng Sisi was trying to use Lu Yuanqing's identity to suppress me. I found it funny and asked Lu Yuanqing, "Mr. Lu, are you going to settle your relationship with my cousin?"
