Chapter 151 Prepare to Investigate on Your Own

In the evening, Ji Ran came to visit and was immediately amazed when he saw the yard full of flowers and swings.

Ji Ran asked excitedly, "Sister Nuanzhu, did you design this yard?"

Jiang Nuanzhu walked closer holding Nuomi, "No."

Ji Ran blinked, "That must be Mr. Xu!"

She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Wait, that ugly greenhouse that Chen Siyi built, wasn't it copied from Mr. Xu?"

"Greenhouse?" There was a hint of curiosity in Jiang Nuanzhu's eyes.

Ji Ran took the rice cake in his arms and touched it, then sat down on the swing and shared photos with Jiang Nuanzhu.

"Yes, he decorated all the rooms in the villa with flowers, and even built a greenhouse in the middle of the yard." Ji Ran couldn't help but complain: "It's not that I dislike him, it's just that Chen Siyi's aesthetic taste is really a bit problematic."

Jiang Nuanzhu took a closer look and fell silent.

Decorating a room with flowers sounds aesthetically pleasing and dreamy, but the flowers in the photo are colorful and a bit pretty at first glance.

Take another look...it seems a bit tacky.

The glass greenhouse was originally synonymous with elegance and fantasy, but it was filled with roses of various colors, red, blue, green and pink, like a flower ball made of flowers.

The overall style is both beautiful and vulgar, and also has an indescribable sense of grandeur.

"Mr. Chen's aesthetic taste... is indeed different from that of ordinary people." Jiang Nuanzhu made a subtle comment, actually trying very hard to hold back her laughter.

Ji Ran held his face in his hands and said helplessly, "If you want to laugh, then laugh."

Jiang Nuanzhu held her belly and laughed out loud: "Is this the legendary straight male aesthetic?"

"Yes, he thinks it's beautiful." Ji Ran said expressionlessly: "I sent the photo to my queen mother, and she also said it was beautiful. No wonder Chen Siyi and her have common topics."

"It can be seen that Mr. Chen has put a lot of effort into it."

There is no way a greenhouse like this could have been arranged by a secretary.

It is impossible for a normal secretary to have such aesthetic taste.

Then it can only be designed by Chen Siyi himself.

Ji Ran was even more depressed: "I was actually surprised before. Even though he's a little ugly, at least he's really cared about me. But when I saw you..."

She suddenly lowered her head and stared at the rice cake in her arms with a serious expression.

Jiang Nuanzhu looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Ji Ran said with a serious face, then lowered his head and hugged Mi Gao and gave him a big kiss: "Good boy~"

Jiang Nuanzhu: "..."

Xu Heyi brought some fruit and let the two chat slowly in the yard.

Ji Ran suddenly remembered that she had brought a gift for Jiang Nuanzhu and took out a small square black box.

"What's this?"

Ji Ran: "My mother bought a lot of brooches some time ago, and she gave them all to me because she couldn't use them all. I couldn't use so many either, so I picked out a few for you as a gift."

Ji Ran said very cutely: "Thank you Sister Nuanzhu for taking care of me during this time!"

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Nuanzhu opened the lid of the box and looked at the five or six exquisite brooches placed inside.

It is embellished with fine diamonds and gemstones.

It didn’t look particularly valuable, but it wasn’t cheap either, so Jiang Nuanzhu accepted it.

Ji Ran was particularly sensitive to jewelry and had already noticed the necklace on Jiang Nuanzhu's neck.

"Sister Nuanzhu, I haven't seen you wearing this necklace before? Is this a new gift from Mr. Xu?"

"Yes, I sent it yesterday."

Ji Ran sighed, "Such a big yellow diamond, isn't it heavy when you hang it around your neck?"

Jiang Nuanzhu whispered, "A little bit."

However, Xu Heyi had just given it to her, so she always had to wear it for two days.

I definitely can't wear this during work in the future. It can only be used when attending dinner parties, but Jiang Nuanzhu doesn't like attending dinner parties.

Ji Ran saw that this style did not look like what you would see in a jewelry store, so he was afraid that it was designed by Mr. Xu himself, and he could not help but feel envious.

Chen Siyi did give her a lot of expensive jewelry sets, but they were all selected by his secretary, so they lacked some sincerity.

"How many carats is this diamond?"

"I don't know. I haven't asked." Jiang Nuanzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask when the time comes. It should be around fifty carats."

As they chatted, Ji Ran took a fancy to Jiang Nuanzhu's bicycle.

"It's getting dark today, so don't ride back. It's dangerous on the road. Come back tomorrow."

"Thank you Sister Nuanzhu!" Ji Ran couldn't help but hugged Jiang Nuanzhu and kissed her.

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled helplessly, and when she turned around, she saw Xu Heyi standing at the door with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Ji Ran had a strong desire to survive: "Sister Nuanzhu, I'm leaving first, otherwise someone might not welcome me next time."

Jiang Nuanzhu replied indifferently, "If someone was here today, you would be worried that you wouldn't have the chance to step into my house next time."

"He dares!" Ji Ran said arrogantly, and his steps had already retreated to the door.

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled as she watched Ji Ran leave, then she got off the swing and walked up to Xu Heyi: "Why did you get off?"

Xu Heyi said calmly: "Remind Madam Xu that it's getting late and it's time to rest."

"Aren't I ready to rest?" Jiang Nuanzhu smiled.

As she went upstairs, she picked up the necklace around her neck and asked, "How much does this yellow diamond weigh? It looks so big."

"53.1 carats." Xu Heyi answered quickly.

Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned: "53.1?"

Her birthday is May 31st.

Xu Heyi raised his hand and touched her head, "Yes, it's your birthday."

Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly looked up at Xu Heyi.

Under the warm yellow light of the living room, his profile was perfectly three-dimensional, even the edges and corners were blurred, making him look much gentler and more handsome.

It's like a ball of warm light, falling completely into people's hearts.

In the evening, Jiang Nuanzhu was lying on the bed preparing to go to sleep when she suddenly received a message from Ji Ran.

[By the way, Sister Nuanzhu, there is something I forgot to ask you.]

【What's up? 】

"Didn't I tell you last time that I wanted to sponsor that girl? You recommended a foundation to me back then. I've participated in several of its events. I heard it was founded by Mr. Xu, so I'd like to donate some money. Does Mr. Xu have any other questions?"

Jiang Nuanzhu read the message and stood there in a daze.

How come she remembered that Xu Heyi said that the foundation was founded by his friend?

[Are you sure he founded the foundation?]

[That's right. What Chen Siyi said shouldn't be false.]

Jiang Nuanzhu was puzzled for a long time before replying to the message.

【Then I'll ask for you.】

Putting down the phone, Jiang Nuanzhu lay on the bed. His mind was blank for a moment, and then he quietly connected some small clues together.

Bar, kissing, disability assistance foundation... Why did Xu Heyi lie?

After going through so many things, Jiang Nuanzhu knew that Xu Heyi must be hiding some little secrets behind what he was unwilling to say.

She simply gave up asking Xu Heyi directly and decided to find a way to find out on her own.

After taking a shower, Xu Heyi went to bed, hugged Jiang Nuanzhu and gave her a light kiss.

"Good night, my wife."

"Good night." Jiang Nuanzhu leaned in his arms, her voice soft and sweet.

After saying this, she lay quietly in Xu Heyi's arms and prepared to sleep.

Xu Heyi was still a little surprised.

He thought Jiang Nuanzhu would continue to ask him questions from the afternoon.

Since Jiang Nuanzhu didn't ask, Xu Heyi naturally didn't plan to confess voluntarily.

The next morning, Ji Ran came to borrow a bicycle.

Jiang Nuanzhu was relaxing on the swing. She looked up lazily and saw Chen Siyi standing at the door.

She squinted her eyes and looked at him. "Why does Mr. Chen's mouth look a little swollen to me?"

Ji Ran laughed gloatingly, "Oh, him? He's allergic."

Jiang Nuanzhu stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "I remember Mr. Chen is allergic to cats?"

Ji Ran's cheeks flushed, "Sister Nuanzhu, I'm going to ride my bike first!"

After saying that, he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind.

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled helplessly.

No wonder Ji Ran hugged Mi Gao and kissed her fiercely last night, saying that he would teach Chen Siyi a lesson.

So this is the lesson?
