Chapter 210 Where is Mr. Ji's room?
This is not pleasant to hear.
Madam Ji picked up the chopsticks, picked up the shrimp and put it in Ye Jinmo's bowl: "Jinmo, eat more!"
Ji Minghua felt angry for a moment when she saw that her mother ignored her.
She just didn't understand. Apart from her good family background, what other advantages did Ye Jinmo have?
If she hadn’t been adopted by the Zhong family, she would still be an adopted daughter who is not presentable enough!
As she was thinking this, she picked up her chopsticks and happened to touch the tip of the old lady's chopsticks, and the shrimp she had picked up fell onto the table.
"Pa" the old lady put down her chopsticks.
"If you don't want to eat, leave!"
Ji Minghua's face turned pale: "Mom..."
"How did Jinmo offend you? She targeted you as soon as she walked in!"
Ji Minghua lowered his head and dared not speak.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became tense.
"sorry……"
Hearing this, Old Madam Ji sighed and looked at her daughter, feeling very disappointed with her.
Why doesn't she understand my painstaking efforts?
“Let’s eat!”
Jiang Xiwen looked at the old lady who defended Ye Jinmo and was so angry that his teeth were almost broken.
But she didn't dare to speak easily.
Ji Minghua felt that this wouldn't work.
"Mom, don't you like the gift Xiwen brought? This kid and I spent a long time choosing. Please at least take a look!"
After saying that, he nudged the person next to him with his elbow, motioning her to bring up the gift.
This thing is indeed made with great care. It is an exquisite teapot, carved entirely from jade. It is obvious at first glance that it is worth a fortune.
Seeing that the old lady's expression had eased a lot, Ji Minghua also felt relieved: "Xiwen learned that you like to collect these things, so he bought them from Master Baiju."
The old lady's eyes lit up: "Master Baiju?"
He is a master in the Chinese jade carving world, and almost every piece of work he creates is regarded as a treasure.
Ye Jinmo and Ji Sichen looked at each other and had some thoughts in their minds.
Baiju's work, it seems Jiang Xiwen has put a lot of effort into this evening.
"Isn't this thing cheap?" Old Madam Ji couldn't let it go.
"As long as you like it." Jiang Xiwen looked well-behaved.
The anxiety just now dissipated a little, and the topic shifted to the jade pot.
Suddenly, Ji Minghua looked at Ye Jinmo: "I wonder what gift Miss Ye brought?"
"I made a last-minute decision to invite Jinmo over. What gift would you like to bring?" the old lady asked casually.
She just wanted to invite the little girl over for a home-cooked meal and had no intention of asking her for any gifts.
"Besides, my daily physical examinations are all handled by Jinmo. If she comes for a home-cooked meal and brings gifts, wouldn't that be too strange?"
Hearing this, Ji Minghua nodded: "Yes, mom, you like this child. You would think she is very good even if she brought a roasted sweet potato."
Ye Jinmo heard the sarcasm in the words.
He took out the health tea he brought.
"Time is short, grandma, this is the health tea I prepared specially for you."
Madam Ji put down the jade pot, took the tea bag, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Jinmo girl, it's you who always cares about grandma's health!"
Ji Minghua on the other side laughed out loud: "Mom, you are so happy when someone gives you some broken tea leaves. We don't lack tea leaves at home!"
Jiang Xiwen also showed a look of contempt, and then returned to a generous and decent attitude: "Aunt Ji, I think classmate Ye is also concerned about the old lady's health."
"Care about your health? What doctors can't the Ji family afford? What health-preserving products can't they afford? You just sent me a few bags of tea leaves that you don't drink. Who are you looking down on?"
No one could bear to hear the shrewdness and harshness in his words.
Just as the old lady was about to say something, the girl held her hand.
Ye Jinmo smiled lightly: "Are you mocking my shabby gift?"
Ji Minghua choked. He didn't expect this person to say it so directly. His words were so harsh!
"I didn't say that!"
Ye Jinmo was not angry either: "I just said, time is short, the gift is naturally not as valuable as Dr. Jiang's, but this health tea is specially prepared by me according to Grandma Ji's body.
What you just said is right. The Ji family can afford the best doctors, and they can also afford any expensive personal possessions. For Grandma Ji, gifts are about the thought, not the price. Don’t you agree? ”
Ji Minghua's face turned pale and blue: "Sharp tongue!"
"Besides, how can you be sure that my health tea is shabby and worthless?"
Ji Minghua was annoyed: "Do we need to confirm this? This is obvious! Health tea and jade pot, anyone with a discerning eye can see it!"
Madam Ji ignored her nonsense and turned to look at Ye Jinmo: "Good child, this health tea must have taken a lot of effort!"
Her smile gradually widened: "There are no less than five kinds of precious medicinal herbs in this tea."
The old lady sniffed carefully, her movements paused, and she was very surprised: "Is there any blood in it?"
Ye Jinmo's eyes curved, "You have a really good nose! This Dracaena powder can activate blood circulation. Last time I took your pulse, I found that the meridians at the back of your neck were a little blocked. You are at risk of cerebral thrombosis, so I added some Dracaena powder to it. You can drink it with water."
Ji Minghua didn't understand this, he just frowned and asked, "What is blood-clotting?"
Jiang Xiwen's fingertips turned white and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Dried blood, how could Ye Jinmo find this thing?
"Xuejie is the Qilinjie mentioned in ancient medical books... Mr. Ye, it took you a lot of effort to find this medicinal ingredient, right?"
Madam Ji continued, "It must have taken a lot of effort. Last time I asked Si Chen to buy it at the auction, but what he bought back was ordinary dragon's blood. This kind of dragon's blood extracted by the ancient method is basically unavailable now!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Minghua became unhappy.
Although jade pots are precious, they are not rare. As long as there are jade carvers, there will be a steady stream of works.
"At such a young age, you are so thoughtful!"
Ye Jinmo raised her eyebrows: "Thank you for the compliment!"
Seeing that his jade pot was outshined by the mere health-preserving tea, Jiang Xiwen could no longer sit still.
"Madam, I offer you a toast!"
She picked up the juice at hand and raised the glass.
The old lady smiled and said, "Then let's raise our glasses together!"
The dinner ended harmoniously.
Jiang Xiwen pinched the paper bag on his sleeve, feeling anxious.
I haven't found a chance to drug you all night, this won't do!
She was about to leave Ji's house and she had no chance. As a result, as soon as she walked out of the yard, her feet stepped on the snow.
There was heavy snow falling from the sky. The Ji family manor was located in a remote area, occupying the entire mountain. It was inconvenient to go down the mountain in this weather.
Ji Minghua took advantage of the situation and said, "Xiwen, why don't you stay here tonight? The weather is bad, so you can leave tomorrow."
"This..." Jiang Xiwen was in a dilemma, and looked at the old lady and Ji Sichen cautiously, "Will this be too much of a bother?"
"How can it bother you? We have so many empty rooms in our house!" Ji Minghua turned around, "Mom, what do you think?"
Madam Ji nodded: "The road conditions are bad, Jinmo should stay too!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and the housekeeper came over.
He ordered the servant to take Jiang Xiwen to the guest room.
Jiang Xiwen followed the servant, tucked the paper bag in her sleeves, and left the living room. She stopped at the door of the guest room, took the servant's hand, and said gently: "Hello, where is Mr. Ji's room? I brought a gift for him today, but I didn't have time to take it just now. I'll deliver it to him later."
