Chapter 116 I understand

Ji Huayan suppressed her dissatisfaction and tried to smile naturally.

The unhappiness in my heart became more and more intense.

What's so great about these people? If her damn father hadn't died, it would be her parents who would sit in Chen Yan's position! She would be the one being flattered!

Chen Yan ignored her and turned her head to Gu Xiyue and said, "Xiyue, I received the gift you gave me. It's very comfortable. Thank you, but it's too expensive. I'll ask the staff to give it to you later."

Zhou Nuan was puzzled: When did Gu Xiyue give Chen Yan a gift? How come she didn't know?

Seeing her looking over, Gu Xiyue whispered, "The mattress you saw before."

Zhou Nuan suddenly realized. The boss originally said there were two beds, and one was bought by Gu Xiyue. No wonder he said that he didn't say it earlier.

"When did you deliver it?"

"Before Director Zhao came to Haicheng, I had someone pack it up and send it over directly."

After Gu Xiyue finished speaking, he turned around and nodded to Chen Yan, "Okay."

He really wanted to give it to her, but it was understandable that Director Zhao didn't want to give him any blame. Anyway, the thought was there, and that was enough.

Chen Yan was very satisfied with his tact: Gu Xiyue was a man who was knowledgeable and tactful, did things neatly and efficiently, and didn't make people feel uncomfortable, which was really rare.

Her smile deepened, and she looked at him with more appreciation, patting Zhou Nuan's hand, "Xiyue is a good man, you have to be good to him."

Zhou Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Gu Xiyue, the man's eyes were doting.

The girl was pretty and the boy was calm, they were a perfect match. Everyone's eyes were focused on them.

This harmonious scene was so annoying to Ji Huayan that she clenched her hands into fists under the table.

Unhappy that everyone's attention was drawn away, Ji Huayan said with a fake smile, "Brother Xiyue also prepared a gift for Aunt Chen? It seems that Brother Xiyue doesn't know my Aunt Chen very well."

She thought that Chen Yan's giving money to Gu Xiyue meant that Chen Yan didn't like it but couldn't refuse it because of her face, so she proposed to return the money to Gu Xiyue and not owe him a favor.

"My Aunt Chen has a bad back. Those supplements are useless. I need help." Ji Huayan turned to Chen Yan, very excited. "Aunt Chen, I have prepared something very useful for you! I searched for a long time to find something that suits you. You will definitely like it!"

Without waiting for Chen Yan to speak, he stood up and ran outside, clapping his hands, "Send it in!"

Soon, two workers came in dragging a huge mattress. Perhaps due to carelessness, the milky white mattress was stained with stains, which looked very unsightly.

Ji Huayan noticed it, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "What's going on? Why is it so dirty? How do you do your job? This thing of mine is very expensive, can you afford to pay for it? Clean it up for me now!!"

She spoke in a bad tone, and it was obvious that she was bossing around and looking down on the workers.

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone frowned slightly.

The two workers were not at all nervous. One of them said lazily, "Miss, we told you before that this thing is big and needs a truck to deliver it, otherwise it will get dirty. You don't want to spend money, so we told you that we can't guarantee it. Have you forgotten?"

"You!" Ji Huayan was furious, but then he remembered the group of people behind him and couldn't argue with them, so he had to reluctantly take out the money. But he was still angry, so he threw the money on the ground and whispered in anger, "Take the money and get out. I will never contact you again."

She originally thought that no one would notice her at this angle and from such a distance, but unexpectedly, everyone saw her. Especially when she threw the money, everyone in the room showed a look of disapproval.

Zhou Nuan found it incredible: I really doubted whether Ji Huayan had been possessed by someone else. She was the heroine, could the heroine do such a thing? Although she kept chasing after Gu Xiyue because of the development of the plot, the tone of her contempt for the workers exposed her bad character.

How can there be a female protagonist with a bad character?

How many sides of Ji Huayan in the original book did she not know about?

The worker picked up the money nonchalantly and said, "If you don't want to change it, then don't change it. We can't afford to serve someone like you who is stingy and demanding."

The two men patted their butts and left, leaving Ji Huayan behind, gritting her teeth in anger.

After taking two deep breaths, Ji Huayan forced a smile and turned around, "Aunt Chen, look, this is what I prepared especially for you. It's a latex mattress, which is only available overseas. It's good for your waist. You won't have to worry about having a bad sleep anymore."

Then he naturally called the staff around Chen Yan, "Come here quickly."

The two staff members hesitated for a moment, then walked over, lifted her up and placed her in front of Chen Yan.

A large mattress was lying in front of everyone, with mud spots on it. Upon closer inspection, there were signs of it being broken and repaired.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces.

It's okay to have mud spots, just clean them up, but it's annoying to send someone a broken one. This is not a gift, this is just a nuisance! How can you show this off?

Ji Huayan thought that everyone's silence was due to being stunned, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Have you ever heard of latex mattresses? Foreign products are so high-end, but they are just country bumpkins who eat coarse grains.

"Auntie Chen, even though it's a little dirty, it's very valuable and cost me a lot of money." See how good I am to you, you have to take care of me.

Director Zhao could no longer bear it, and his usually gentle face turned cold. "We can't accept such an expensive gift. We have a rule that we can't accept gifts. Xiao Ji is not trying to bribe us and make us break the law, right?"

"Ah?" Ji Huayan was stunned by the accusation and shook her head repeatedly, "I, I am just being filial to my elders as a younger generation..."

Zhou Nuan almost laughed at Ji Huayan's behavior.

Is Ji Huayan out of her mind? She is not giving gifts to ordinary people, so why is she so high-profile? She is giving gifts to Zhao Ju, an official. Other people are very cautious and low-key in their gifts, afraid of being known, and they are returned. But she is so good that she wants the whole world to know.

Not to mention that most officials nowadays are honest. What she did is no different from holding a loud speaker and telling everyone, "Come and see, Director Zhao accepted a huge gift and he is breaking the law."

He kept reiterating that this mattress was very expensive. He seemed to be afraid that he would not die fast enough.

This was definitely not Jinianshan’s idea, so how did Jinianshan let her act on her own?

Chen Yan was also angry. Giving her something dirty and broken was fine, but giving her such an eye-catching mattress with so much fanfare, and claiming it was very expensive, wasn't this meant to harm her old Zhao?

Besides, she already had the mattress so she didn’t need it!

"Come on, return this mattress to Memorial Hill and say we appreciate his 'kindness'!"
