Liu Zitong seemed startled, her body trembling violently, stammering and unable to speak. Then, she turned and ran towards her room, muttering something as she ran. Once inside, she eagerly reached for the phone on the bed, then pulled it out from under the covers—the same model as Lu Jin's.
After getting her phone, Liu Zitong logged into her QQ account as quickly as possible. Her fingers flew across the screen, eagerly searching for Lu Jin's profile picture. Finally, she found the friend named "Yi Lu Jin Hua," opened the chat window, and sent a message: "Lu Jin, why did you buy me so many things? Especially that expensive bag! This is completely beyond my means!"
After sending the message, Liu Zitong's gaze was fixed on the screen as if drawn by a magnet. Her eyes were wide open, not even daring to blink, as if the slightest carelessness would cause her to miss the other party's crucial reply.
Sure enough, a message notification popped up on the screen. Seeing the flashing icon, Liu Zitong's heart pounded, as if it would burst out of her chest. At that moment, the eager anticipation on her face was unmistakable; anyone could tell she was waiting for a reply.
Lu Jin first sent a smiling emoji, then sent a series of text messages: "I'm doing this all to clear my name!"
These words startled Liu Zitong. Rectify? Prove what?
Then the other party sent some more text: "This isn't just for you, there are also gifts for your uncle and aunt. Take it back later and have your uncle try on the suit in box number 18 to see if it fits. This suit was specially made by the most skilled craftsman in my mom's factory, it's absolutely top-notch quality!"
Liu Zitong held her phone and started searching for size 18 paper in a pile of cardboard boxes.
Before she could find box number 18, Lu Jin sent another message: "The backpack I bought for Auntie is in box number 17. It's a mother-daughter style, similar in style but different in color. I sincerely hope Auntie will like this bag. Your matching backpack is in box number 15."
Upon seeing these words, Liu Zitong began searching for numbers 15 and 17 again.
"Oh, by the way, take another look inside. This should be package number 16. Inside is a Cartier diamond bracelet that I carefully selected for you. When I first saw it, I immediately pictured you wearing it and how beautiful you looked. I knew then that this bracelet was made just for you, and it would suit you perfectly!"
Liu Zitong was overwhelmed by the constant stream of messages. Her head was spinning. She circled the pile of packages and finally found box number 18. Inside, she found a simple cardboard box. She took it out, opened it, and saw a well-tailored suit. She immediately fell in love with it. The iron gray color was exactly what she liked. Her dad would definitely look very handsome in it.
Mr. Liu's eyes followed Liu Zitong's every move. When she gently opened the gift box, the gray suit inside immediately came into view. The suit was impeccably tailored, and the fabric appeared to be of superior quality.
A bright smile immediately spread across Mr. Liu's face, his eyes filled with joy and emotion. He kept saying, "Oh my, she's such a sweet little girl! She even thought of buying me new clothes!" After saying that, he happily took out the suit and held it up against himself.
Sitting to the side, Liu's mother watched Liu's father's smug expression and couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking to herself, "Hmph, look at how proud he is! Doesn't he even consider whether the allowance he gives his daughter for the whole year is enough to buy such nice things? Maybe these things weren't even bought by our daughter herself, but were given to her by some scheming brat who wants to steal our little cabbage!"
The thought of this possibility caused Liu's mother to furrow her brows slightly, her eyes becoming somewhat sharp, and she unconsciously turned her gaze to Liu's father, who was immersed in joy—this man was an absolute doting father to his daughter.
If he knew that these gifts might have been sent by some unknown young man to curry favor with his precious daughter, what would his reaction be? The more Liu's mother thought about it, the more interesting it seemed, and a strange sense of anticipation welled up in her heart, as if she couldn't wait to see Liu's father's expression and actions after he learned the truth.
Liu Zitong inadvertently caught a glimpse of her mother's gaze. Those deep eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through everything, made her heart sink, as if a boulder had suddenly fallen into a calm lake, creating ripples. At the same time, her hands, which were unpacking the express delivery package, trembled slightly as if electrocuted, and her once skillful movements instantly became clumsy and stiff.
Liu's mother, who witnessed the entire scene, couldn't help but understand the reason behind it. However, the thought that her precious daughter, still a sophomore in college, had been won over by a boy so quickly filled her with a sense of reluctance and worry. Yet, when her gaze fell upon the suit worn by Liu's father—a gift possibly from his future son-in-law—these emotions found some solace.
Although the suit had no prominent brand logo, its exquisite tailoring undoubtedly showcased its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. After putting it on, Mr. Liu's entire demeanor was transformed; he seemed several years younger, radiant and full of energy.
Liu's mother couldn't help but step forward and gently straighten her husband's collar and cuffs, exclaiming, "This outfit is absolutely fantastic! Look how well it suits you, it brings out all your best features and makes you look so dashing!"
Mr. Liu said excitedly, "Really? Haha, my daughter has such good taste!" Standing to the side, Liu Zitong felt a little embarrassed and ashamed after hearing her father's words. She clearly remembered that Lu Jin had asked about her father's height, weight, and other details before, and had even visited the photos of her father saved in her QQ space album several times.
However, to Liu Zitong's utter surprise, with only the limited information she provided, Lu Jin was able to find someone to make such a well-fitting and appropriate suit so precisely. It has to be said that he really put a lot of thought into it. At the same time, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, after all, this was also a way of respecting her family.
