Chapter 269 Do you have any thoughts?
Chu Rou's eyes sparkled, "Mo Bao, you prepared a gift for me too!"
This was quite a surprise. She had been spending most of her time with Mo Chi, and Mo Chi hadn't made any moves these past few days, so she thought he hadn't taken her birthday seriously!
"Of course there should be a gift! How could I not give you a gift on our first birthday celebration!"
Mo Chi wanted to throw a birthday party for Chu Rou, but Chu Rou said she wanted to go back here and spend it with her family, so he gave up the idea. Instead, he carefully prepared a gift and accompanied her home.
Chu Rou sat on the sofa and unpacked the gifts. She first opened the gifts from Shen Luo and Qu Jie. Inside the box was a Chanel bag.
"Sister, I've used up all my savings." Shen Luo has no other source of income, only the New Year's money she's saved up over the years. "I've really lost a lot of money this time."
Chu Rou glanced at him with a smile, "I know, I'll give you a big red envelope for your birthday."
She then opened the gift box given by Shen Yan and Huang Shan, inside which was a Chanel summer outfit.
Chu Rou picked it up and held it up in front of her, "Is this a one-stop shopping trip? You bought Chanel for everything."
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Shanshan and Xiaojie chose it. Shen Luo and I are only responsible for the payment."
"I like them all, thank you!"
Chu Rou put the gift back into the box, and finally opened the blue box that Mo Chi had given her.
Upon opening the box, a property certificate came into view. Chu Rou picked it up and looked at Mo Chi with a puzzled expression, "You're giving me a house?"
Mo Chi blinked. "It's our wedding room. I only put your name on it."
Chu Rou opened the property certificate and saw the information about the house. It was a villa area within the second ring road of City B. This location was extremely valuable, with each square meter costing hundreds of thousands of yuan.
She mentally calculated the value of the property, in units of hundreds of millions.
Chu Rou looked up at Mo Chi with suspicion, "Where did you get the money to buy a house?"
Mo Chi touched his nose guiltily, "The money was given to me by my dad."
Chu Rou suddenly realized that she and Mo Chi had always enjoyed relying on their fathers.
Chu Rou continued looking at the gifts. Below the property certificate was a set of jewelry, with sparkling diamonds on it: a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. The pendant featured a blue diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, a deep and mysterious blue.
"Wow!" Huang Shan exclaimed. "If I'm not mistaken, this jewelry set is called 'Heart of the Blue Ocean'! I heard it was auctioned off a few days ago."
Huang Shan looked at Mo Chi, "You bought it!"
Chu Rou didn't know much about jewelry, but she felt that this set of jewelry was expensive. When she heard that it was bought at an auction, she was even more unsure about the price. She asked Huang Shan, "Shan Shan, is this set of jewelry very expensive?"
“Of course,” Huang Shan clicked her tongue, “it should be worth about the same as that house.”
Chu Rou's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Mo Bao, did you buy this with your dad's money?"
Mo Chi nodded, "If you want to marry off your son, you have to spend some money. My dad has plenty of money, he won't miss this little bit."
What a troublemaker!
Chu Rou felt as if the box in her hand weighed a ton; if she wore this set of jewelry, she probably wouldn't be able to move.
"Wife, let me help you put it on!" Mo Chi said eagerly.
"No!" Chu Rou stopped Mo Chi. "It's too expensive. I'm afraid it will give me cervical spondylosis. Let's wait until the wedding to wear it!"
"Alright, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold," Shi Jingman urged.
The family sat around the dining table.
Shen Luo placed the cake in the center, lit the candles, and let Chu Rou make a wish. "Sister, make a wish and blow out the candles!"
Chu Rou closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart.
Her wish was simple: for her family to be safe and sound, and for her and Mo Chi to have a baby as soon as possible.
Shen Minghui opened the Wuliangye that Shen Yan had brought, smelled it, and said, "Good wine is different. It smells so good. Today we have the most people. Let's drink until we drop."
Mo Chi, with keen insight, took the wine bottle, filled Shen Minghui's glass, then filled Shen Yan's and Shen Luo's glasses as well, and finally poured himself a glass.
Chu Rou looked on with envy, but unfortunately she was still taking Chinese medicine and couldn't drink alcohol.
"Xiao Jie, Shan Shan, would you like some drinks?"
Qu Jie and Huang Shan shook their heads at the same time. They didn't want to act drunk in front of their elders, so they decided to drink beverages instead.
Shen Minghui had just raised his glass, about to say a few words, when someone knocked on the door.
The family looked at each other, wondering who else could come at this time.
Shen Luo put down her wine glass and stood up. "I'll go take a look."
Less than a minute later, Shen Luo returned carrying a bouquet of red roses and a gift box.
“It’s a gift,” Shen Luo placed the flowers and gift box in front of Chu Rou. “Sister, they’re all for you.”
"For me?" Chu Rou asked, puzzled. "Who gave it to me?"
Shen Luo scratched his head, "I don't know, the deliveryman only said it was for Miss Chu Rou."
Mo Chi's face darkened. These weren't gifts from him. Who else would give Chu Rou roses? He could figure it out with his toes.
A card was attached to the bouquet. Mo Chi reached out and tore it off. Turning it over, he saw it read: "Rou Rou, Happy Birthday!"
The signature is an English name: David
"Who is this David?" Mo Chi's eyes turned cold.
Chu Rou glanced at the signature on the card, licked her lips. This English name was the one she gave He Wei, and she only called him that in private.
He's like a persistent ghost, doesn't he want her to have a good life? He's plotting against her again and again.
Seeing that Chu Rou remained silent, Mo Chi became even more certain of his guess.
He then took the small gift box from Chu Rou's hand and opened it. Inside was a heart-shaped diamond ring, about five carats, worth millions.
Mo Chi slammed the box shut.
"Throw it away!"
Chu Rou silently threw the roses into the trash can.
The people at the table stared at each other, still not understanding what was going on.
Seeing Mo Chi's reaction, Shen Yan guessed who had sent it. He had met He Wei before; they were about the same age, and when it came to shrewdness, he was ashamed of himself.
He didn't know why Chu Rou and He Wei broke up, but he was certain that He Wei hadn't given up on Chu Rou.
Shen Yan understood Mo Chi's feelings at that moment. No man could stand it if his wife was coveted by another man.
The fact that Mo Chi can still sit here rationally shows his remarkable self-control.
Shen Luo, who never thinks before he speaks, frowned when he saw Chu Rou throw away the flowers. "Mo Chi, these flowers weren't sent by you, were they?"
Are there any other men pursuing my sister now?
Chu Rou coughed and glared at Chen Luo, "No!"
Mo Chi threw the box in his hand in front of Chu Rou, "Throw this away too!"
Chu Rou shook her head, "This can't be thrown away."
Mo Chi looked coldly at Chu Rou, "What, you're going to accept this ring? Do you have some ideas?"
