Chapter 402 Returning the Gift

Xue Qin saw several scones in the gift box.

It looks exactly like what I ate when I was a kid.

At that time, she envied Shen Qingqing because they 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 softly.

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 him on the shoulder: "You look very handsome today."

Shen Yibai replied: "Thank you."

Bo Jinxiu could see that Shen Yibai had something to say to Jiang Ciyou.

I took the initiative to speak: "It's a bit cold outside, I'll go in first."

After Bo Jinxiu left, Jiang Ciyou and Shen Yibai were the only ones left in the corridor.

Jiang Ciyou said, "I won't say congratulations, but I want to tell you, if you want to sacrifice your lifelong happiness for me and your uncle, it's totally unnecessary."

Shen Yibai's eyes flashed.

Jiang Ci sighed, "I know everything. Your mother threatened you by persecuting me and your uncle, and made you compromise countless times. Now, why are you so stupid? You should know that she will never stop because of your sacrifice and compromise. In fact, she will only get worse."

Shen Yibai knew this truth.

"Sister, I did this voluntarily. I didn't do this for you. She would have asked me to do those things even if you weren't there. 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 oppressed and persecuted since childhood. 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; his world was instantly turned upside down, collapsed, and shattered into ruins.

The once bright and sunny boy has disappeared, and now only a gloomy teenager remains.

Jiang Ci 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.

This road can only be walked by himself.

After experiencing disappointment and even despair, one's mentality can only be rebuilt after being shattered.

One day his world will build a wall to resist 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 her.

His eyes were red.

Even though there were many people watching, everyone just felt inexplicably that this scene was particularly moving.

Even though the two were hugging each other, it didn't arouse any evil thoughts.

Shen Yibai took a deep breath, and in just a few seconds, he let go of Jiang Ciyou.

"Oh, sorry."

A voice appeared nearby.

Then a glass of champagne was splashed on Shen Yibai.

Jiang Ciyou and Shen Yibai looked over at the same time.

It’s Shen Qingqing.

She held a glass of champagne in her hand.

I walked unsteadily and almost fell.

Fortunately, Shen Yibai was quick to act and held her arm.

But the whole glass of wine had already spilled onto Shen Yibai.

Jiang Ciyou dodged quickly and took a step back.

The dress was not stained at all.

Shen said lightly: "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 face didn't look very good.

But he still said, "It's okay."

Shen Qingqing pretended to wipe Shen Yibai's clothes a few times: "Brother, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and my clothes are all dirty. You should change your clothes."

Shen Yibai's white shirt underneath was also wet, with wine stains all over it, and he definitely couldn't wear it anymore.

I really need to change my clothes.

But he was worried about Shen Qingqing and Jiang Cixi 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 Jiang Ciyou.

Fortunately, he pulled it, and all the wine spilled on him.

Jiang Ciyou glanced at him and signaled.

"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.

What's more, this is the Bo family, with so many eyes watching us.

Shen Yibai entered the house.

Shen Qingqing stood in front of Jiang Ciyou and said, "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 reconciled just now.

Jiang Ciyou also saw 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 my own new life. I will never interfere in your relationship again."

"I was ignorant before, but I hope you will forgive me for the price I have paid."

Jiang Ciyou looked at Shen Qingqing's sincere expression, and a trace of suspicion emerged in his heart.

But no matter whether Shen Qingqing is really awake or just pretending.

Jiang Ciyou could only go with the flow: "Then I wish you all the best."

Shen smiled and said, "I also wish you and Fourth Uncle to grow old together."

As she spoke, Shen Qingqing took out a box from her bag.

"This is the birthday present that my fourth uncle gave me on my 20th birthday. It is a piece of jewelry that you designed yourself. Now I think I should return it to its original owner."

Jiang Ciyou also remembered that it was a necklace.

It was also at Shen Qingqing's birthday party when Jiang Ciyu saw this scene that she made up her mind to break up with Bo Jinxiu.

They were really separated for a while.

Jiang Ciyou didn't know whether Shen Qingqing took out the necklace to provoke her on purpose or whether she really wanted to return it.

Jiang Ciyou said: "Since it is a gift from your fourth uncle, you should accept it."

Shen Qingqing directly stuffed the brocade box into Jiang Ciyou's hands: "I want to make a clean break with the past, so I naturally can't keep these things anymore, but this piece of jewelry is indeed valuable, so please return it to Fourth Uncle for me, sister."

After saying that, Shen Qingqing left without looking back.

Jiang Ci 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.
