Chapter 402 Returning the Gift
Xue Qin saw a few scones in the gift box.
It looks exactly like what I ate as a child.
At that time, she envied Shen Qingqing, who had a Chinese chef, a Western chef, and a dedicated dessert chef.
Xue Qin took a piece and put it in his mouth.
"How does it taste?" Shen asked gently.
Xue Qin nodded: "It's delicious."
The other side.
Shen Yibai walked over to Jiang Ciyou and Bo Jinxiu.
"Uncle, sister... aunt."
Shen Yibai greeted them.
Bo Jinxiu looked at Shen Yibai and patted his shoulder: “You look very handsome today.”
Shen Yibai replied: “Thank you.”
Bo Jinxiu could tell that Shen Yibai had something to say to Jiang Ciyou.
He took the initiative to speak: "It's a bit cold outside, I'll go in first."
After Bo Jinxiu left, Jiang Ciyu and Shen Yibai were the only ones left in the corridor.
Jiang Ciyou said, "I won't say congratulations, but Yibai, I want to tell you that if you sacrifice your lifelong happiness for me and your uncle, it is completely unnecessary."
Shen Yibai’s eyes flashed.
Jiang Ciyou sighed, "I know everything. Your mother threatened you by persecuting me and your uncle, forcing you to compromise countless times. Yibai, why are you so stupid? You should know that she will never stop because of your sacrifice and compromise. In fact, she will only make things worse."
How could Shen Yibai not know this truth?
"Sister, I did this voluntarily. I didn't do it for you. Even without you, she would have asked me to do those things. She is my mother. I have no choice."
Jiang Ciyou understood Shen Yibai’s situation.
He was even more unfortunate than himself. Sometimes Jiang Ciyou even felt that he was more unfortunate than Bo Jinxiu.
Bo Jinxiu was suppressed and persecuted since he was a child. He knew the cruelty and darkness of the world at a very young age.
I had seen through Bo Wanhua's true face a long time ago.
But Shen Yibai is different. Shen Yibai has always lived in the light.
He was suddenly pushed into darkness, and his world was instantly turned upside down, collapsed, and turned into ruins.
The once sunny boy has disappeared, and now only a gloomy teenager remains.
Jiang Ciyou said distressedly: "Your uncle said that this is just a process, everything will pass, just like walking through a tunnel. No matter how long the darkness is, there will always be a time to see the sun again."
Bo Jinxiu said that no one can help Shen Yibai now.
He has to walk this road alone.
After experiencing, being disappointed, and even despairing, one's spirit can only be rebuilt after being broken.
One day, his world will build a barrier to fight against all cruelty.
But at this step, no one could help him.
Shen Yibai nodded: "Sister, can I hug you one last time?"
Jiang Ciyou opened his arms generously.
Shen Yibai took a step forward and hugged him.
His eyes were red.
Even though there were many people watching nearby, everyone just inexplicably found this scene particularly moving.
Although the two people were hugging each other, it did not arouse any evil thoughts.
Shen Yibai took a deep breath, and after just a few seconds, he let go of Jiang Ciyou.
"Oops, I'm sorry."
A voice appeared nearby.
Then a glass of champagne was poured on Shen Yibai.
Jiang Ciyou and Shen Yibai looked over at the same time.
It was Shen Qingqing.
She held a glass of champagne in her hand.
I walked unsteadily and almost fell.
Fortunately, Shen Yibai was quick to support her arm.
But a glass of wine had already been poured all over Shen Yibai.
Jiang Ciyou dodged quickly and took a step back.
The dress was not stained at all.
Shen said gently: "I'm sorry, brother, I just wanted to come and say congratulations to you."
Jiang Ciyou smelled a strange smell and frowned.
Shen Yibai’s expression was not very good.
But he still said, "It's okay."
Shen Qingqing pretended to wipe Shen Yibai a few times: "Brother, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and my clothes are all dirty. Go change your clothes."
Shen Yibai's white shirt was also wet, with wine stains all over it, and it really couldn't be worn anymore.
I really need to change my clothes.
But he was worried about Shen Qingqing and Jiang Ciyou being together.
Jiang Ciyou said that he didn't mean to drink the glass of wine just now, but in fact he wanted to splash it on Jiang Ciyou.
Fortunately, he pulled it back, and all the wine spilled onto him.
Jiang Ciyou signaled him with his eyes.
"Yibai, go change your clothes. I have something to say to Miss Shen."
In fact, Shen Yibai felt that there was no need for him to worry.
My sister can handle these little tricks of Shen Qingqing.
Besides, this is the Bo family, and there are so many eyes watching around.
Shen Yibai entered the room.
Shen Qingqing stood in front of Jiang Ciyou: "Are you surprised to see me?"
Jiang Ciyou looked at Shen Qingqing coldly: "Shen Qingqing, what are you planning?"
The scene where Shen Qingqing and Xue Qin just made up.
Jiang Ciyou also watched it vaguely.
She saw Shen Qingqing taking the initiative to show her goodwill.
But Jiang Ciyou felt something was wrong.
"Sister, I came here today just to say goodbye to you and Fourth Uncle."
Shen Qingqing's expression looked particularly sincere: "I was too naive before. I have decided to let go of Fourth Uncle. I also plan to start a new life for myself. I will never interfere in your relationship again."
"I was ignorant before, but considering the price I've paid, please forgive me."
Jiang Ciyou looked at Shen Qingqing's sincere face, and a trace of suspicion emerged in his heart.
But no matter whether Chen Qingqing is really awake or just pretending to be smart.
Jiang Ciyou could only go along with it: "Then I wish you all the best."
Shen smiled gently: "I also wish you and Fourth Uncle to grow old together."
As she spoke, Shen Qingqing took out a box from her bag.
"This was my 20th birthday gift from my fourth uncle. It's a piece of jewelry you designed yourself. Now I think I should return it to its rightful owner."
Jiang Ciyou also remembered that it was a necklace.
It was also at Shen Qingqing's birthday party that Jiang Ciyou saw this scene and made up her mind to break up with Bo Jinxiu.
They were really separated for a while at that time.
Jiang Ciyou didn't know whether Chen Qingqing took out the necklace to deliberately provoke her or whether she really wanted to return it.
Jiang Ciyou said, "Since it's a gift from your fourth uncle, then you should keep it."
Shen Qingqing directly stuffed the brocade box into Jiang Ciyou's hands: "I want to break away from the past completely, so I naturally can't keep these things anymore, but this piece of jewelry is indeed valuable. Please return it to Fourth Uncle for me, sister."
After saying that, Shen Qingqing left without looking back.
Jiang Ciyou stood there with a frown on his face.
She opened the box and found the diamond necklace inside.
But at the same time, Jiang Ciyou also smelled a faint floral scent.
