There was no response from outside, so the frequency of her knocking increased by half a beat, accompanied by the man's low and worried voice: "Jiaojiao, are you still there?"
"Not really." Yi Jiaojiao said dejectedly.
Xiaozhou's heart tightened.
The next moment, the door was kicked open, and Jiaojiao looked at the man who rushed in in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Zhou rushed in nervously and checked her carefully, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Jiaojiao realized what he meant and pursed her lips helplessly: "I'm just surprised that you slept for so long... But, you really didn't do it on purpose?"
She looked at the kicked door with a gloomy face.
"No." Xiao Zhou felt a little aggrieved. Did he need to kick the door if he wanted to come in?
If it wasn't an emergency, he wouldn't kick the door.
Yi Jiaojiao rubbed her brows and said, "Forget it. Find someone to reinstall the lock later. Did you go to mom's place this morning? Did she give you any trouble?"
"I went, Mom is very happy."
Qi Jiaojiao didn't believe it and asked him to tell her everything that happened in the morning, but Xiaozhou hesitated and just said that he went to help.
"You, you're hiding things from me now. Are you going to bully me every day in the future?"
Xiaozhou saw her cheeks puffed up slightly and touched her chin with the tip of his tongue.
Still unable to help it, he reached out and poked it gently.
Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Jiaojiao slapped his hand away with a gloomy face, and walked straight to the door of Xiao's house, ignoring him.
My house is particularly lively today. It’s just dinner time and there are several tables of people sitting there.
The mother looked at her daughter Jiaojiao, came over and patted her on the head, gave her a look that said 'why did you get up so late', and then smiled and said: "Jiaojiao, are you tired? You worked hard this morning."
“…still asleep.” I slept so hard that I almost didn’t wake up.
The other aunts in the military district understood: "Young people, they all have their own things to do."
"My kid is the same. He doesn't come home all day long."
The mother nodded with a smile. Ruyue, who was sitting next to the mother, clenched her hands. Her expression became extremely ugly when she saw Jiaojiao take out a red gift box.
The last gift she gave her mother was a jade pendant necklace, which also cost a lot of money, but it was nothing compared to that bracelet.
When my mother sees the bracelet, she will definitely like Yi Jiaojiao more, even if Yi Jiaojiao didn’t pay for the bracelet…
But it was she who fell in love with that bracelet first.
Jin Chunmei sat next to Zhang Qiuyun and whispered sarcastically, "This girl Jiaojiao is really something. She even used your daughter's money to buy a bracelet as a gift. The news has spread all over the compound."
Zhang Qiuyun sighed: "This girl, her thoughts are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Jin Chunmei said: "Why not? She is just greedy for petty gains. She just opens her mouth and points at others who are deceived by her. Your daughter is really something. She studied abroad and should be very smart. But she still married a spoiled flatterer."
Zhang Qiuyun immediately frowned. She said one thing about her daughter, but another thing about others. "Jin Chunmei, you and your sisters seem to be smart, so why are you so stubborn about Jin Yao's brother who is a drunkard and a gambler?"
"That's the only child of our Jin family."
"Xixi is also our only child, and a real golden seedling. Even if you raise your lousy brother for eighteen lifetimes, he will never be able to reach the level of my Xixi. This is all you can do, and you still want to teach my daughter?"
Jin Chunmei's face suddenly turned ugly. Saying that her own brother was not as good as a girl was harsher than stabbing someone in the back.
But she couldn't afford to offend the He family, so she could only force a smile and smooth things over for herself: "I don't understand the thinking of young people."
"If you don't understand, shut up."
Jin Chunmei was completely embarrassed. After all, she had taken so much money, and nothing had happened yet. She was not at a disadvantage anyway.
Seeing that Ruyue was standing not far away, she quickly calmed down and went over to comfort her.
"Ruyue, don't worry. I've already told everyone in the compound that you carefully selected the bracelet that Xiao Jiaojiao gave to me. Everyone knows that it was your intention."
A gleam of light flashed across Ruyue's eyes: "Thank you, auntie."
"It's all right. You're a little kid." Jin Chunmei said, with a gleam in her eyes.
The mother-in-law also made preparations to collect the bracelet. She would not give her daughter face in front of others. Today, she wanted to recognize Jiaojiao openly.
The others knew what was going on. The bracelet incident had long been spread in the military compound. They all thought that Jiaojiao was of low character, but if her mother wanted to acknowledge her, they would of course give her face.
However, after opening it, it turned out to be a small medicine bottle.
Everyone: ???
