Think about the environment the original owner lived in since she was a child. In this family, the only person who has a blood relationship with her is her father.
Although this father was not competent, he was her only hope and emotional support.
Such a scene, such words, should be what the original owner is looking forward to the most!
However, as a bystander, she really couldn't put herself in the situation's shoes.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the things on the ground not far away with heartache.
She had originally planned to take away everything related to the wedding, including the things brought by Ji Huaian and his mother.
But now...
Just consider these as a filial tribute to this rare and loving father on behalf of the original owner!
After all, even if it wasn't voluntary, you still occupied someone else's body.
It is only natural to help and show filial piety.
Ji Huaian took out a betrothal gift of 600 yuan wrapped in red paper from his arms and pushed it in front of Lin's father.
"This is the betrothal gift we agreed upon earlier."
Lin Jiaojiao rubbed her hands, squeezed in front of Lin's father and took it naturally.
"My parents were afraid that we would suffer over there, so they asked me to take him there."
Seeing this, Li Qiufen felt a little depressed.
A full six hundred yuan!
I didn't even touch it.
The money has been given, so you have to give it some face!
Li Qiufen spoke with a smile.
"They don't understand me. Why am I so concerned about this girl? I found her such a good marriage, but I don't want to give her any of the betrothal gifts. I said that this girl has had a hard life since she was a child. Although I have provided her with food and clothing over the years, we are still separated by a relationship and cannot really get into her heart. Now that she has her own family, I am worried that she will not live a good life. Having money in hand will always give her peace of mind."
"A few days ago, this girl said she wanted to buy a watch for Xiao Ji, and I agreed immediately. I also added food coupons and meat coupons. I think their lives will definitely be better in the future."
Having said this, he looked at Lin Jiaojiao with a distressed look on his face.
"If you still need anything, be sure to tell Mom. Even if our family is poor, we will never let you suffer any injustice."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Seeing the harmonious relationship between mother and daughter, Father Lin nodded with satisfaction.
"That's true."
Zhang Xiao'e was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Li Qiufen, who looked like an unremarkable person, was so willing to give money.
It seems that he is not a person without conscience.
"He's still a bit human!"
"Um?"
"No, I mean, you're a really nice person."
Li Qiufen pursed her lips stiffly, feeling that this praise was comparable to eating shit.
She said this as if she wasn't a human before!
This is not a compliment, this is clearly an insult!
Seeing Li Qiufen mentioned the watch, Lin Jiaojiao hurried into her own cubicle.
When he came out again, he was holding an exquisite box in his hand.
And the big red envelope just now was quietly stuffed into the space while no one was paying attention.
Lin Jiaojiao handed the box to Ji Huaian.
"When I saw this watch, I thought it would suit you!"
"So, you picked this out just for me?"
“…”
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Ji Huaian's bright eyes, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in her expression.
The watch is from 2024, but it looks like a Shanghai watch from the 1970s.
She just bought it at the exchange for a few dozen dollars.
The purpose was to cheat Li Qiufen out of her money.
After all, she could exchange that industrial ticket for other notes at the exchange.
Seeing him so excited made her feel embarrassed.
Ji Huaian couldn't wait to open it.
The silver dial has smooth lines, elegant contours, and a classic steel color scheme. It looks very good when worn on the wrist.
"I love so much!"
Zhang Xiao'e couldn't stop laughing beside her.
"Look at these two kids, they're such a perfect match!"
Lin Jiaojiao's face felt a little hot when she was suddenly teased.
As for Ji Huaian, his whole body was so stiff that he stood up straight.
"Dad, it's getting late, shall we go eat?"
Lin Jiaojiao spoke directly to break the awkward situation
Several people went to the state-owned hotel together.
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Jiaojiao saw Yang Guotao standing in front of the counter.
She immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Yang, this is my family. They all say you're amazing!"
Zhang Xiao'e followed suit and said, "It's obvious he's a capable person. With such a big restaurant, it must be difficult to entertain him, right?"
Who doesn’t want to be praised!
When Yang Guotao heard Zhang Xiao'e's praising words, the joy in his eyes became even brighter and he spoke with a smile.
"I was wondering why this girl was so sweet, it turns out she looks just like you! How did you raise her? I'm so envious of you for having such an outstanding daughter!"
"She must be a gift from God. I also think she is perfect in every way. Our family has such a daughter. I wake up smiling in my dreams every day!"
Yang Guotao and Zhang Xiaoe began to praise each other in a business-like manner.
The theme centers around Lin Jiaojiao.
Li Qiufen felt bad watching from the side, especially when she heard people calling her "your daughter" on the left and "your mother" on the right, she felt even worse!
It was obviously she who raised me since I was a child. Even if she is not my biological mother, she is better than my biological mother.
How did it become that Zhang Xiaoe’s education was good?
But they were talking so fast that I couldn't get a word in.
Fortunately, Lin's father stepped forward to remind him.
The three of them ended the topic.
Yang Guotao was very concerned about their meal, and he found a way to get all the dishes that Lin Jiaojiao mentioned on the table.
And the portion is very generous!
Father Lin seemed to be in high spirits and took Ji Huaian to drink a lot of wine.
"I'm so happy today. People are like brothers. I look at you like my own son!"
"Thank you, uncle."
"What's the use of calling him uncle or not? Just call him dad from now on. I love it!"
Ji Huaian quietly glanced at Lin Jiaojiao, and seeing that she didn't show any resistance, he quickly picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lin's father to toast. "Dad!"
"Hey! That's great. Come on, have a drink!"
Lin Jinbao looked at his father resentfully from a distance, moved a bench and sat next to Lin Jiaojiao and spoke in a low voice.
"Sister, don't you think Dad is a little strange today? He has never treated me like this before."
"Why are you still jealous of your brother-in-law?"
"That's not the case!"
Lin Jiaojiao patted his shoulder earnestly.
"Silly child, although I can help you, you still have to show yourself. This is such a great opportunity."
“…”
Lin Jinbao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt as if something had dawned on him.
"Yes, this is a great opportunity, sister, thank you for reminding me!"
As he spoke, he picked up the soda and hurried to Ji Huaian.
"Brother-in-law, I toast you too!"
Ji Huaian glanced at Lin Jinbao and refilled his glass.
Father Lin was watching the two of them from the side and felt extremely relieved.
This is a harmonious family!
It’s just a little regrettable that my daughter and Xiao Ji are such good children, but they can’t have their own children.
