Chapter 157 Climbing the Window
The sarcasm in his words was obvious.
Ji Minghua's elegant posture was temporarily broken.
Because there were so many people around, she couldn't say anything.
“That’s really thoughtful!”
Ye Chong snorted coldly and stood beside his apprentice, his face full of pride: "Of course! This birthday gift should touch her heart. Niuniu has seen all kinds of expensive jewelry. Jinmo told me that if I want to give her something, I should give her something practical and useful, not something fancy."
This sentence not only insulted Ji Minghua, but also insulted everyone else present.
Most of the people who came to the birthday party today were here to make connections, and the gifts they gave were mostly bags, jewelry and the like.
Naturally, the more expensive the gift for Chu Hong's granddaughter, the better. Who cares whether the little girl likes it or not!
They looked embarrassed, but no one dared to say anything. After all, everyone could see that Ye Chong had a special relationship with Old Man Chu.
At this time, Mrs. Ji heard the sound and came over, followed by Ji Sichen.
When the old man saw the beads on the table, his eyes lit up: "Aren't these incense beads? Jinmo can also make these?"
She picked up a bead and put it under her nose to smell it, and exclaimed in surprise: "Girl, is there any Tianshan Snow Lotus in it?"
Ye Jinmo nodded gently: "Yes, snow lotus can warm the kidneys, I added some in."
Ji Minghua frowned: "Mom, how did you know?"
Old Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "We have it at home, but it's not wild. The beads contain wild snow lotus, which has now become a national protected plant and cannot be picked at will. So it is priceless. Wild snow lotus has a special fragrance, which you can tell by the smell."
Then, Old Madam Ji said with a smile: "Jinmo, you can't be partial, give me one too!"
"This recipe is suitable for Niuniu. I will make another one for you later!"
“Okay, okay!”
The people around were also confused. The seemingly ordinary incense beads actually contained a secret, which made even Mrs. Ji scramble for them!
It turns out that they are short-sighted...
Ji Minghua's face didn't look very good, but he still maintained a decent smile on his face.
"It seems that Miss Ye is very attentive."
The mother and son just now didn't dare to say a word.
When the woman learned that the incense beads were so precious, she wanted to escape for no reason.
Niuniu broke free from Ye Jinmo's embrace and ran over. Her puffy face was very cute: "Apologize to the beautiful sister!"
When the stairs came up, the woman went down carrying her son.
They walked quickly to Ye Jinmo and said apologetically, "I'm sorry!"
The crowd on the sidelines understood what was happening and gradually dispersed.
Seeing this, Ji Minghua snorted coldly and whispered: "You are right but you are not forgiving..."
The next second, Old Lady Ji's face darkened, she glared at her, said nothing, and pulled Jin Mo aside to reminisce about the past.
Ji Minghua was left alone and angry.
Niu Niu carefully packed up the remaining beads and vowed never to speak to that troublemaker again!
After the birthday party, Niu Niu made a fuss and refused to let Ye Jinmo leave.
She left only after she coaxed Niu Niu to sleep.
The master and senior brothers also waited for her until nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as I went out, I saw Ji Sichen's car parked outside.
Seeing her come out, he went to meet her, but was stopped by Ye Jinqian just as he was about to speak.
"I just want to say goodbye to Jinmo."
Ye Jinqian said coldly: "It's too late, Mr. Ji, please go back."
After saying that, Ye Jinmo was pulled into the car by him.
Ye Chong saw all of this.
He had heard a little about the affairs of the Ji family and the Jiang family.
He took a few steps forward and looked at the young man in front of him.
To be honest, he likes this kid from the Ji family very much. He is capable and can handle things.
Last time in Wujia Village, he was able to see what this man was thinking.
It was autumn, and the autumn wind lifted the hems of their clothes.
"I heard that you are getting engaged to the daughter of the Jiang family."
Ji Sichen's face tightened: "No, this is my aunt's unilateral intention..."
Ye Chong looked at him meaningfully: "No matter whose idea it is, solve it and think about other things later."
He paused, sighed, and had a complicated look on his face: "Jin Mo was brought up by Jin Qian and I. In terms of ability, my apprentice is no worse than anyone else. I don't care why you are involved with other people. You don't need to come to see Jin Mo again until the matter is resolved."
"She's still young, it's normal for her to not be able to control her emotions, but you're different."
Ji Si opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute, so he nodded in agreement.
For several days in a row, Ye Jinmo stayed in Baicaotang.
Ye Chong and Ye Jinqian seemed to be afraid that she would run away, so they stayed with her closely.
She has a headache.
Doesn't she look like a love-brained person who would run away for a man!
Even the eldest and second brothers frequently sent her messages.
That night, she sat on the sofa watching TV.
[According to reports, Jiang Xiwen, the daughter of the Jiang family, returned to China today and is suspected to be engaged to the president of the Ji family]
The picture shows a long-haired woman walking in the airport with a suitcase.
The picture is blurry and the face cannot be seen clearly, but the tall and slender figure reveals an extraordinary temperament.
Ye Jinmo stuffed the potato chips into her mouth, feeling a little unpleasant.
The media dared to write this, so they must have obtained permission from the Ji family.
She looked at the message on her phone, which Ji Sichen had just sent her five minutes ago, and felt mixed emotions.
She was annoyed by the news on TV, so she simply turned off the TV and went upstairs to sleep.
Lying in bed, thinking about what happened in the past few days, I found that my mind was full of someone.
He rubbed his hair randomly and buried his head in the quilt.
Just like that, I fell asleep in a daze without knowing when.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of washing.
She was a light sleeper and woke up when she heard the noise.
Could it be a mouse?
It's impossible. The master sprinkles insect repellent powder regularly. Not to mention autumn, even in midsummer, there are no insects or snakes in Baicao Hall.
"Dong Dong"
"Dong Dong"
It seemed to be the sound of knocking on glass.
"who?"
She was startled, sat up, and looked towards the balcony vigilantly.
Baicaotang is a two-story villa, but it looks very ordinary because of the thatched roof.
In fact, the decoration inside is very modern.
The curtains on the balcony were fully automatic. She picked up her phone and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning and the curtains completely blocked out the moonlight outside.
The room was pitch dark.
The sound of shaking glass became louder and louder.
A thief broke in!
She didn't dare turn on the light. She took her cell phone and, using the dim light, went down barefoot, not forgetting to pick up the broom standing at the door.
She tiptoed to the balcony and saw the curtains fluttering, so she picked up the broom and hit them.
"How dare you steal here, you little thief!"
Behind the curtain.
Ji Sichen held on to the door frame with one hand and struggled to push open the window with the other.
I just mustered up the strength to climb up and I was about to reach the top.
The person behind the curtain started hitting him with a stick.
"It's me!" He didn't dare to speak too loudly.
Ye Jinmo stopped when she heard the sound, pulled the curtains, and saw a man half hanging on the window.
"Brother Chen! Why are you here?"
She hastily dropped what she was holding and pulled him up by the arm.
The height of Baicaotang is more than three meters. This is the second floor. He climbed more than six meters with his bare hands!
Ji Sichen held onto the windowsill and jumped in.
