Chapter 767 You Need to Be Good
Qiao Xing received a call from Wang Ye early in the morning, saying that it was He Fen's birthday tonight and inviting her to come over for dinner.
Qiao Xing realized that it had been a while since she had visited Wang Yue and He Fen, and since Qin Ce was also there, she went with him.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xing told Qin Ce about He Fen's upcoming birthday. Qin Ce had no objections and asked her what gift she wanted to give her.
This question really stumped Qiao Xing.
She had given He Fen birthday gifts before, but she didn't have much money back then, and He Fen didn't really think much of her anyway.
So whatever you give her, it's all the same to He Fen.
She doesn't even look down on them.
Now that she's married, He Fen has learned Qin Ce's true identity.
If you give her something cheap, He Fen will definitely look down on it. But if you give her something expensive, it's not that you can't afford it or don't want to give it. It's just that you know He Fen too well. With her personality, she will definitely tell everyone that this is a gift from so-and-so in my family.
This is the kind of trouble that Qiao Xing fears most.
Qiao Xing spent the whole morning agonizing over what to give He Fen. She wanted to give her skincare products and then buy her a bouquet of flowers, but she didn't know which skincare products would suit He Fen.
I want to give jewelry as a gift, but I don't know whether to give a necklace or a bracelet.
Qin Ce suggested, "Why not just give her a red envelope? Would 100,000 be enough?"
"..."
Qiao Xing glared at him. "Don't cause trouble."
Qin Ce didn't understand.
Why go through all that trouble when money can solve the problem? Why insist on giving a gift?
Qiao Xing finally decided to give He Fen jewelry. She and Qin Ce went to a specialty store and, on the recommendation of the salesperson, bought He Fen a jade bracelet.
It's not as expensive as a gold bracelet, but it doesn't look tacky when worn; it makes you look more elegant.
Although it was He Fen's birthday, Qiao Xing thought about it and decided to bring gifts for Wang Qin and Wang Yue as well.
After all, they are elders.
Wang Yue loves tea, so she picked out some nice teaware and tea leaves. As for Wang Qin, Qiao Xing also bought her a bracelet, but it wasn't as expensive as He Fen's.
After all, it was He Fen's birthday. Given her personality, if she found out that her gift wasn't as expensive as Wang Qin's, she might give Wang Qin a sarcastic or sarcastic remark.
After choosing their gifts, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce left the mall.
Qiao Xing was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to carry things, so the task of carrying things was handed over to Qin Ce.
I didn't realize it when I was buying things, but now that I've finished, look at the bags and packages Qin Ce is carrying – there are quite a few of them.
Especially these things, carried by the seemingly serious Qin Ce, looked a bit comical.
People who didn't know better would think she was going back to her parents' home.
On the other side, Wang Ye and Bai Yi had also chosen gifts for He Fen.
Wang Ye picked out a neck massager for He Fen. A few days ago when he came home, He Fen kept complaining that her neck hurt and that Wang Ye, as her son, didn't care about her at all.
Bai Yi rushed back from the branch store after learning that He Fen was going to have her birthday.
Her gift was prepared in advance; it was a complete set of health and wellness products.
Although in recent years, health products have become synonymous with scams online, it is undeniable that some health products do indeed have great benefits for the body.
Bai Yi gave He Fen this as a way of expressing his filial piety.
She knew that ever since she went to work at the branch store and lived apart from Wang Ye, He Fen, who was already dissatisfied with her, had even more complaints about her.
She often nags Wang Ye, either blaming him for not keeping an eye on his wife or suspecting that Bai is having an affair.
Otherwise, whose wife wouldn't come home for a month or two?
They also blamed Bai Yi for not respecting them as elders, always telling Wang Ye how so-and-so's daughter-in-law and her husband were very loving, and how capable and filial so-and-so's daughter-in-law was.
Wang Ye didn't like going home because of He Fen's opinion of Bai Yi.
Wang Ye finally managed to go back, but He Fen kept nagging him, making him completely unwilling to go back.
Instead of reflecting on her own actions, He Fen blamed Bai Yi for all the problems.
She said that Wang Ye had never been like this before, but after marrying her, he talked back to her repeatedly and became disobedient.
The fact that Wang Ye is like this is all due to Bai Yi's instigation.
Wang Ye was absolutely annoyed with He Fen.
No matter how kindly you try to reason with her, she won't listen.
If I say too much, she gets upset, and when she gets upset, she starts to argue and make a fuss.
Wang Ye has completely lost the desire to communicate with her and has given up entirely. As long as she doesn't affect his shop's business or prevent him from divorcing Bai Yi, he'll let her say whatever she wants about family matters.
On their way back, Wang Ye and Bai Yi picked up Linlin.
Two days ago, Wang Ye told Linlin that Grandma's birthday was coming up, and he specially taught Linlin a few words of blessing to make He Fen happy.
"Linlin, have you learned everything your uncle taught you?"
When they were almost home, Wang Ye wanted to test Linlin.
"I've learned it!"
Linlin seemed very confident.
"Then read it aloud so your uncle can hear it."
Linlin imitated the adults, coughing twice before speaking with a serious expression:
"Wishing Grandma good health, a cheerful disposition, and endless happiness. Happy birthday!"
Wang Ye was surprised. He didn't expect Linlin to not only memorize these sentences but also speak them so fluently.
He gave him a thumbs up in approval, saying, "My son is great!"
Bai Yi glanced at Wang Ye uncomfortably, wanting to correct him, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed his words back.
She pulled Linlin to her side and whispered to him, "Linlin, today is Grandma's birthday. You have to be good and not upset Grandma, okay?"
Linlin asked in confusion, "Mom, today is Grandma's birthday. Will Grandma be unhappy too?"
His question stumped both Bai Yi and Wang Ye.
The two exchanged a glance; Bai Yi was a little embarrassed, but Wang Ye felt more helpless.
Even children this young have developed a stereotype of He Fen, yet she still acts independently and never listens to others.
As they were about to go upstairs, they ran into Wang Qin and Lin Xi.
Wang Ye greeted them, "Auntie, Xixi, you're back."
Wang Qin carried groceries in one hand and a cake in the other.
She works at a cake shop, so the task of buying cakes fell to her.
"Brother, sister-in-law," Lin Xi greeted Wang Ye and Bai Yi.
Wang Qin was delighted to see Bai Yi. "Yi Yi is back too! That's great! When Xingxing arrives later, our whole family will be reunited. We can all happily celebrate your mother's birthday together!"
The group went upstairs, and Wang Yue opened the door with a big smile on his face. "What a coincidence that you all came back together today!"
Wang Ye entered first, saying, "It's my mom's birthday today, so of course we should come."
