Chapter 21.5 Why don't you get engaged first?
Luo Zhiwei quickly patted Lu Jingxiao, asking, "What's with that expression? It looks so bad."
Lu Jingxiao glanced at his girlfriend with an arrogant look, as if to say, "Don't you know what happened?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
I'll try to appease him when I get home later; I don't know what's making him so angry.
She took out the gift she had prepared separately from the coffee table, walked to Grandpa Lu's side, opened the gift box, and introduced it with a respectful and serious expression: "Grandpa Lu, I heard from Ah Xiao that you like to play chess. This set of warm jade chess pieces was my mother's treasured possession before she passed away. However, I am not very good at chess, so it is of no use to me. I hope Grandpa Lu will not find it offensive."
Grandpa Lu was very surprised. He looked at Luo Zhiwei in shock, his eyes filled with heartache: "Child, this is something your mother left you. You should keep it. Although I like playing chess, I can't take away what others love."
"Grandpa Lu, please accept this. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Grandpa Lu already felt sorry for the child, and now that he heard her say this, he felt even more sorry for her. He couldn't even say a word of refusal: "Alright, then I'll accept it. Grandpa has a gift for you. After dinner, you and Ah Xiao will come with me to the study."
Luo Zhiwei nodded obediently: "Okay, Grandpa Lu."
Luo Zhiwei then walked up to Lu Chen with the box and respectfully handed it to him: "Uncle, this is an authentic work by Wu Daozi. I hope you will like it."
Lu Chen's eyes were filled with shock. This child probably had taken out his most precious things.
"Your uncle likes it very much. You child, you came all this way and brought gifts. The gifts that Grandpa and I have are not cheap. I guess we brought out the most precious things in the house, right?"
Zhao Tingguo is a scoundrel. He'll never keep anything good the Luo family has. They'll either give it away as a favor or... just sell it off.
The Luo family probably doesn't have anything good left.
The fact that Keluo Zhiwei could still produce these things shows that she had preserved her mother's belongings very well and that Zhao Tingguo had not touched them.
Such a child is resilient and self-reliant, and is a good match for my son.
"Since it's my first time visiting your home, I naturally want to bring something nice. I don't know how to appreciate either the chess pieces or this painting, but I'm happy to give them to an elder who does."
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly. This was all she could leave behind; most of the Luo family's treasures had been taken away by Zhao Tingguo.
She then walked over to Bai Wenyu's side. She was much more relaxed around her aunt. When she opened the gift box, a set of ruby necklaces with great collectible value was revealed.
Bai Wenyu was extremely excited, her eyes brimming with delight: "Oh my, child, why did you give me such an expensive gift? This ruby necklace set is no cheap."
"If your aunt likes it, then it's not expensive."
What Luo Zhiwei didn't say was that she directly asked Gu Beixiao for the 16 million yuan she had previously invested, just to prepare a gift.
Fortunately, all the previous investments were profitable, and some were even quite profitable.
Her brother said there were at least fifty or sixty million, but she only took out the principal to buy gifts for the elders. Since there were suitable gifts, she naturally couldn't be stingy.
The more Bai Wenyu looked at Luo Zhiwei, the more satisfied he became. The heartbreak his son had suffered in the past was nothing.
Weiwei didn't break up with him for any other reason; it was all for her son's sake. To be honest, she didn't expect her son to go abroad for five years, and she was very angry.
"Of course I like it. I like everything you give me, even a needle."
How could she not like something her future daughter-in-law gave her?
Luo Zhiwei felt a sense of relief. It was good that they all liked it; she had been worried that they wouldn't like the gifts she had prepared.
However, Lu Jingxiao, who was standing to the side, looked even darker. Was there really no gift for him?
Does the baby really not cherish him anymore?
He simply plopped down on the sofa without even glancing at Luo Zhiwei.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
This isn't some kind of CEO, this is just a two-and-a-half-year-old kid, and he's still sulking.
She shook her head helplessly, rummaged on the coffee table, found a small box, handed it to Lu Jingxiao, and coaxed him softly, "How could I not prepare a gift for you? I just... You're really wronging me."
Lu Jingxiao's face was filled with surprise, even a little astonishment, at this unexpected gain.
"When...when did you prepare this?"
They'd been inseparable for the past few days, and he had no idea Weiwei had prepared this.
Although he didn't know what was inside the box, he was certain it was something he would like.
It's either a pair of cufflinks or a watch.
Lu Jingxiao felt his heart leap into his throat. How could his baby be so good, still thinking of him at a time like this?
"I prepared all of this today, you just didn't see it. Hurry up and open it to see if you like it?"
Lu Jingxiao's gift was something he had to open himself.
After all, they are a couple, and they should create some surprises for each other. If she just opens it like that, wouldn't there be no surprise at all?
Under Luo Zhiwei's expectant gaze, Lu Jingxiao opened the gift box, and what came into view was a pair of exquisitely crafted cufflinks.
K brand limited edition.
Do you like it?
Lu Jingxiao nodded vigorously, like a child who had just received candy: "I like it."
He quickly took out the cufflinks and fastened them to his cuffs. He liked them no matter how he looked at them, and asked as if showing them off, "Do you think they look good?"
"nice."
She hadn't expected that the cufflinks would look so good on Lu Jingxiao's hands.
Lu Jingxiao instantly perked up, looking at Luo Zhiwei with tender eyes: "Baby, thank you for the gift. I also have a gift for you, but it's at home. I'll get it for you when I get home."
Is there a gift?
She only thought of giving a gift because she was going to meet her elders today. Lu Jingxiao's gift was only because she stopped and swiped her card without saying a word when she passed by K's house and saw the cufflinks on display.
But Lu Jingxiao... had prepared this a long time ago?
Bai Wenyu stood up and interrupted the couple's public display of affection: "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, don't sit here."
——
At the dinner table, Grandpa Lu asked first, "Weiwei, have you and A-Xiao finalized your relationship? You were together before, and now that you've reunited, you know each other well. Why don't you get engaged first?"
Lu Jingxiao: "!!!!"
This must be my real grandfather!
She's so considerate of me.
Bai Wenyu immediately smoothed things over, cooperating perfectly: "Yes, Weiwei, you've already wasted so many years, don't miss out again. Why don't you get engaged first? If A-Xiao dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll take care of him for you."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
The first few sentences were fine, but the last part... Mom, you didn't really have to say that.
Is he the kind of person who would bully Weiwei?
However, he also wanted to know what Weiwei was thinking and whether she had this plan.
Luo Zhiwei originally wanted to refuse, but Lu Jingxiao's eyes were too sincere and full of expectation, so she couldn't bring herself to say the words of refusal.
"I... Ah Xiao and I have indeed missed too much, and I don't want to miss out again. However, I still want to ask my family about the engagement."
She is not without relatives now; Gu Beixiao is her brother, and You Ran is also her family.
besides...
Forget it, it's not really appropriate to involve them in my own affairs.
"Of course, let's see if your brother has time in the next couple of days, and we can have a meal together. If it's suitable, it's Ah Xiao's birthday in a few days, so let's hold the birthday celebration and engagement ceremony together?"
