Chapter 580 Gadgets
Having asked, Gao Zhan didn't feel guilty and simply asked directly, "Where's Ah Ci?"
Ah Ci?
The nickname that Gao Zhan blurted out made Wang Zhaoning subconsciously confused.
Dr. Gao called Ah Ci by her nickname, which sounded a little strange to her. Are they really that close?
But Wang Zhaoning was clearly not on guard against Gao Zhan. She simply thought that he, as a doctor, was concerned about her, so she smiled and shook her head and explained, "No, I have no problem going out on my own now. I don't need someone to accompany me all the time."
Gao Zhan nodded calmly: "Thank you for the full moon fruit."
Wang Zhaoning didn't think any more about it. She said goodbye and left.
Gao Zhan sat in a chair, his face slightly gloomy as he thought about something. After a while, he picked up his phone and opened the chat history with Shen Ci, his fingers frozen in mid-air, not knowing what to send.
In the past few days, Shen Ci has not taken the initiative to send him a message.
Looking up, he saw the full moon fruit on the table. Gao Zhan hesitated for a moment, took a photo of it and sent it to Chen Ci.
"The full moon fruit your sister-in-law just sent me."
After the message was sent, Gao Zhan's suppressed expectations were instantly magnified to the maximum. He stared at the screen intently, wanting to use the two packets of Full Moon Fruit to rekindle the topic with Shen Ci.
As a result, Chen Ci's reply was straightforward and naked.
"Missed me?"
Gao Zhan stared at these three words in shock, but when he thought of Shen Ci's face, he smiled again.
This was too merciful. He revealed his thoughts without reservation and directly eliminated all unnecessary processes in between.
And she was just like that. After all the twists and turns, wasn't her final intention the same? She must have understood the message contained in her message, or even a signal.
This would only make him look like he was trying to hide something.
Gao Zhan didn't hesitate any longer and replied directly: "Yes, I miss you a little."
"Just a little?" Chen Ci pressed on.
Gao Zhan's smile widened, and he replied inwardly, "More than that, I miss you so much."
Chen Ci, who was on her way to Xixi's full moon party, couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw the message, and her nails clattered on the phone keyboard: "Think about it first, I'm not free today."
Gao Zhan looked at this reply without any anger, instead he replied with a single word of affection: "Okay."
The car slowly stopped at the gate of Shuiyunjian. Chen Ci got out of the car carrying the longevity lock that she had customized for Xixi, which cost over a hundred yuan. The main gate was already decorated with gorgeous balloons and arches.
"Happy little princess Xixi's full moon day"!
Chen Ci couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he looked at the subtitles and Xixi's photo on the screen.
On the banquet hall floor, the most luxurious hall has become bustling. Although Yan Wenxi is not here, the guests who come to attend Xixi's full moon party today are very diverse.
In addition to the relatives and friends of the Yan family, there are also senior executives of the group, and the brothers of Yan Wenxi who stayed with Shen Ci, and of course close friends like Boss Yang.
When Shen Ci arrived, she happened to meet Boss Yang in the elevator.
He was dressed in a suit and clutching a thick red envelope. The two smiled at each other as soon as they met. After Shen Ci called for help, Boss Yang looked at what Shen Ci was holding and asked with a smile, "What are you holding?"
Chen Ci glanced at the red envelope in Uncle Yang's hand and estimated that there should be about ten or twenty yuan, which is indeed a lot in today's currency value.
She raised her lips and smiled, pretending to be mysterious and said, "You will know in a moment."
"Still beating around the bush with me?" Boss Yang snorted, looking as if he had already seen through it. "It's for Xixi, right?"
Shen Ci nodded, and the elevator arrived just in time. After the two of them got out of the elevator and walked forward more than ten meters, they saw Yan's mother who was in charge of registration and her daughter-in-law, who was Yan Wentao's wife.
There were people queuing up in front to give gifts and red envelopes, and Old Mrs. Yan personally received them one by one, with a smile that showed her teeth but not her eyes.
I am not short of money, but I can't help but feel happy and festive when I encounter a day like this.
Who doesn’t like receiving gifts?
Boss Yang stood in front of Shen Ci, straining his neck to watch for a moment, then turned back and whispered, "I've seen it all, and it's basically just a face-saving payment. There's not even a single dollar."
Chen Ci smiled without saying anything. "Yuan" is equivalent to "Wan". So one must have a really good relationship and good conditions to be willing to spend it, right?
Now that my brother is not around, it’s a great honor for so many people to come. It’s enough if the gift money is decent.
"Hey, Xiao Yang, Aci, you're here?"
The old lady finally saw the two of them and hurried over to greet them cheerfully. Boss Yang took the opportunity to hand over the red envelope in his hand: "Auntie, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I want to share in the joy of little baby Xixi."
The old lady was very smart. After taking the red envelope, she pinched it casually and knew the thickness of it. She immediately asked her daughter-in-law to open it and register it.
When the red envelope was opened, a stack of brand new one-yuan bills was pulled out, which scared Yan Wentao's wife Lin Shuang.
"Oh my god, so many?"
Even though the old lady was mentally prepared, she didn't expect there would be so many.
"Xiao Yang, this is too much!" The old lady was happy in her heart, but said with a reluctant look: "No need to spend so much money, the thought is enough."
"It's not expensive, Aunt Fei. It's my duty. Xizi and I have been friends for so many years, and Xixi was born at this critical juncture. I should show some favoritism." Boss Yang said sincerely.
When she mentioned these things, the old lady's eyes turned red again. But before she could shed tears, her daughter-in-law Lin Shuang said, "Mom, thirty yuan!"
He just held back her tears.
Thirty yuan?
So many!
As a result of the old lady's actions, the people in the queue behind them pinched their pockets awkwardly.
Which kind person would give thirty yuan for a child’s full moon banquet?
Boss Yang even deliberately turned his head to glance at the people behind him, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Ci and he said with a smile: "Aci, uncle didn't discuss the red envelope with you beforehand, don't feel pressured, you are the younger generation, you don't have to do the same as me."
"Uncle Yang, today is Xixi's full moon banquet. I am Xixi's aunt, not some junior." Shen Ci said, and handed the things in her hand to the old lady: "Auntie, I don't have any gift money today, so I prepared a "little thing" for Xixi."
When she heard it was a small gadget, the old lady took it without thinking. However, she felt her arm feel heavy and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's quite heavy. Ah Ci, what did you buy?"
"A longevity lock, I specially went to the gold shop to order it for Xixi." Chen Ci explained casually.
The old lady's eyes widened when she heard this: "Longevity lock? So heavy?"
Chen Ci smiled and said, "It's not heavy, 5000 grams, which is only ten kilograms. But you can't wear it, so save it for Xixi as a dowry in the future."
Boss Yang, who was standing by, was stunned by what he heard.
Not heavy.
5000 grams?
Only ten kilograms?
