Director Yang told her that Wu You had entered through the back door through Vice President Liang and his admission qualification had been revoked. Vice President Liang had abused his power for personal gain and was punished accordingly and transferred out of Peking University.

But Cen Anna felt ashamed to continue staying in Peking University, so she transferred to another school.

After school, Meng Tao went to pick up the car and saw a short-haired girl wearing a gray and white plaid tweed jacket standing next to the car waiting. When she got closer, she saw that this was the beautiful girl who beat up Wu You that day.

Meng Tao was surprised that her two long, shiny black braids were gone. They had become short hair in just a few days. It was obvious that the hairstyle was not just cut. There was only one possibility: this girl, Yang Jiali, had two long braids that were wigs.

That day, Gong Wanyi brought Wu You and Cen Anna to the school to settle accounts. Vice President Liang sent someone to find Yang Jiali, but Yang Jiali’s classmates, teachers, and department head all said that she had taken two days off for something and returned to Tianjin, and was not in Beijing.

So she disguised herself deliberately just to sneak back to school and beat Wu You up.

I don't know what kind of grudge there is between them, they did a good job.

The two stood face to face, and Yang Jiali said, "I've asked around. Your name is Meng Tao, and I'm Yang Jiali."

Meng Tao nodded: "Hello."

Yang Jiali handed over something covered with a cloth that she had been holding: "This is for you."

"This is……"

Yang Jiali took off the cloth cover, and Meng Tao saw the object clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

It is a jade bonsai more than one foot high, carved from a whole piece of beautiful jade. It has an exquisite shape, soft luster and is exquisitely translucent. The jade is naturally produced in several colors, including peach pink, tender white, emerald green and dark brown. The jade craftsman has skillfully carved it into a peach tree on the rock wall. The branches are strong and sturdy, the peach leaves are green and lovely, and the ripe peaches are pink, white and red. As soon as you see it, it's as if you can smell the sweet fragrance of the peach fruit, and you can't help drooling.

Yang Jiali was a cold beauty who never beat around the bush. Seeing Meng Tao's happy expression as she admired the jade, she felt that she had chosen the right gift: "Your name contains the word 'peach', so I took the initiative to pick this for you."

Everyone likes to see beautiful things, but Meng Tao just admired them and would definitely not ask for things from others casually. She asked curiously, "Why are you giving this to me? I don't want to receive anything without doing anything."

"I gave you a gift for a reason. First, Wu You and I have an irreconcilable feud. Her parents killed my parents and family. Wu You herself is even more vicious. She set a trap to lock me up and called a group of villains to destroy me. My brother was only eight years old at the time. In order to save me, the little guy was covered in bruises and almost died...

Wu You and I are at loggerheads. We met at Beijing University. She wants to kill me, and I cannot tolerate her. No matter how rational I am, I cannot suppress my determination to kill her! I am ready to leave Beijing University. My brother is angry with me for this. He said I was reckless and disagreed with me giving up the opportunity to go to college. But now you have taken action. Wu You has been expelled. Gong Wanyi and the Cen family can't protect her. I don't have to leave. My brother and I are very grateful to you.

Second, I think you are someone I can relate to, and I want to be friends with you. Please accept my sincerity. "

"Wu You is really abominable. We should not tolerate those who bully others by taking advantage of their power. We must make them bear the consequences. We can be friends, but there is no need to exchange gifts. Besides, this thing of yours is too valuable. It looks like an old item, a family heirloom, right? How dare you take it out casually?" Meng Tao said.

Yang Jiali lifted the jade a little higher so Meng Tao could see the signature on the bottom. She said admiringly, "You have a good eye. This is indeed hundreds of years old. It is indeed passed down from my ancestors. I have a lot of such old items at home. Fortunately, my brother was smart and hid them in advance so there was no loss. Now it's okay. I can take it out and you can take it home with confidence."

"Family heirlooms are so precious, you should keep them well, I don't want them."

Yang Jiali: "I gave it to you because it's precious. If you don't want this, then what do you want?"

Meng Tao was amused by her lavish words: "You can have anything you want? You have everything, are you rich enough to rival a country?"

"I can't say I'm as rich as a country, but I have gold, silver, jade, and jewelry... I think it's not good to give you jewelry that has been worn and used by others. This jade has been in my room since I was a child, and I often hold it because I like to eat peaches... I think it's very good and clean, so I give it to you as a token of my sincerity."

Meng Tao felt embarrassed: "It's too valuable. I can see your sincerity and I appreciate it."

Yang Jiali was a little frustrated: "My brother laughed at me for being old and fuzzy, and said that giving antiques was vulgar. He asked me to give a foreign painting or a diamond... Oh, he guessed right again."

"Then you accept it?"

"I don't take away what others love."

"I have more. I have seven or eight of these jade carvings at home. I won't share them with others. I just thought you would like them, so I gave one to you. Don't refuse."

"But... I can't offer an equally valuable gift in return."

Yang Jiali said happily: "No need to return it! Just accept it, so that I can slap my brother in the face when I go back."

Meng Tao was speechless. What she said showed that the brother and sister were really weird.

In the end, Meng Tao accepted the "peach tree" jade carving.

He likes exquisite craftsmanship and has a good impression of Yang Jiali and is willing to make friends with her.

Before she could think of what gift to give her in return, Meng Tao made an appointment with Yang Jiali to invite her to dinner at Lao Mo on Saturday, and Yang Jiali happily agreed.

Meng Tao wanted to take Yang Jiali home, but she said no, it would only take about ten minutes to get there by bike. Her house in the capital had been rented out to several households before, and it had just been taken back and was still very messy. She said she would invite Meng Tao to her home after it was renovated.

The two waved goodbye, Yang Jiali went to find her bicycle, and Meng Tao put the jade into the space and drove away.

When Meng Tao returned home, Xu Zhen took Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Wangcai to the front yard to play and wait for her as usual. Xiao Yunhai jumped up happily when he saw his mother, but was chased by Xiao Wangcai and blocked his way. Xiao Yunhai was so anxious that he kept shouting, "Wangwang, go! Wangwang is not behaving well!"

Meng Tao wanted to hug Xiao Yunhai, but was stopped by Xiao Wangcai. She knew what Xiao Wangcai meant: Shen Yu had told the two little ones that their mother was pregnant, so they couldn't get too close to her, and they couldn't hug her, as it would tire her out.

The furry kid remembered it as soon as he heard it, and little Yunhai also understood it, but he was only two years old after all, and he couldn't control himself. When he saw his mother, he wanted a hug.

Xu Zhen was anxious when she saw that Xiao Wangcai had angered Xiao Yunhai. She was speechless and couldn't teach the children.

Meng Tao squatted down and stroked the furry child with one hand, and hugged her son to her arms with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Little Wangcai, be good. Little Yunhai, do you remember what your father said? Mommy is pregnant, and Xiao Yunhai is going to be a big brother."

Little Yunhai nodded: "Remember, there is a baby in mommy's belly."

"Then what should Brother Xiao Yunhai do?"

"I don't want mommy to hug me. I hug mommy, gently."

"So good! Come here and give mommy a kiss, wooden horse, wooden horse! Xiao Wangcai will also get a reward, wooden horse! You are all good children, and mommy will take you to the park to play on Sunday!"

Little Yunhai raised his hands and cheered: "Oh, oh! Let's go to the park! Mommy, mommy, grandma is going too!"

"Yes, grandma will go with you!"

Her grandson was happy, and Xu Zhen was also beaming with joy, feeling extremely comforted in her heart: My dear and adorable grandson, he always thinks of grandma when he has good things, who else should I love if not him?
