Chapter 500 I don’t want your gift

The day before Jiang Xuxu’s birthday.

The Jiang family decorated the house from top to bottom.

Because it was Jiang Xuxu’s first birthday after returning to the Jiang family, the Jiang family, from Old Man Jiang to Jiang Yucheng, attached great importance to it.

Jiang Cheng felt a little weak when he woke up in the morning.

Just like the weakness that people who don’t exercise for many years are used to, but he clearly takes time out every week to exercise.

Scratching his hair irritably, Jiang Cheng walked to the bathroom in his slippers, facing the increasingly unfamiliar self in the mirror, and began to wash up with his waist tilted.

Brushing teeth, washing face, and finally wiping his face randomly, he was ready to go downstairs.

When going downstairs, the aunt who was cleaning the stairs saw him and her eyes widened again, "Who are you?"

It was not the first time that Jiang Cheng was not recognized, and he became more and more annoyed.

"Look carefully again, who am I?"

He said with gritted teeth. The aunt heard the voice and looked carefully, and finally came to her senses, "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, I seem to be dazzled just now."

Jiang Cheng ignored her.

In the past few days, he was almost accustomed to this situation where people often misunderstood him.

Without paying attention to the aunt, Jiang Cheng went downstairs. The first thing he asked was,

"When will Jiang Xuxu come back?"

These days, he tried to find the so-called masters to help him solve his problems, but those masters either wanted to cheat money or said they were powerless.

Jiang Cheng's only hope now is Jiang Xuxu.

Jiang Su has not been very friendly to him these days, and sometimes even looks at him as if he were a stranger. Hearing this, he just said,

"My sister is busy, and she has no time to deal with you when she comes back."

Jiang Cheng's face suddenly darkened again, and he couldn't help but lecture him,

"Jiang Su, what's your attitude now? I'm your brother!"

"Are you my brother?!"

Jiang Su retorted, "How are you like my brother now? Look at what you've been wearing recently, like a loser."

Jiang Cheng was subconsciously looking at his clothes after being rebuked by him, and his face darkened again.

He turned upstairs without saying a word and picked out a set of his old clothes from the closet.

He found that as long as he relaxed a little recently, he would always subconsciously show some habits or hobbies that were obviously different from usual.

It was like there was another person living inside him.

Or maybe, he was becoming another person.

Not daring to imagine such a possibility, Jiang Cheng forced himself to tense up and took out a treasured sapphire necklace from the safe.

This was a necklace he designed himself and specially made by world-renowned craftsmen. It was the only one in the world.

Jiang Cheng knew, of course, that if he went straight to Jiang Xuxu for help, she might not pay attention to him.

He had already thought about it.

On the eve of her birthday, he would give her his gift first.

No matter how cold-hearted Jiang Xuxu was, she couldn't really ignore him.

It was just to coax her, and Jiang Cheng felt that he could do it.

That night, Jiang Cheng took out the gift in advance while everyone had dinner.

He tried his best to be gentle and said,

"It's your birthday tomorrow. Many people will come. I guess you will be busy with socializing. I'll give you this gift in advance. I saw the dress that your aunt customized for you. This necklace will match your dress perfectly."

Jiang Cheng took out the gift in front of everyone in the family. Jiang Yuxin also came back tonight to help prepare for the birthday party.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng took the initiative to show goodwill, he smiled and responded,

"It's true. This necklace really matches the dress I prepared for you. Why don't you wear it tomorrow?"

The other people in the Jiang family were naturally happy to see the cousins ​​getting along well, so they also echoed a few times.

Xue Ningyu even took the initiative to ask,

"Xuxu, do you want to try it on?"

Facing everyone's eager eyes, Jiang Xuxu just slowly lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone,

"I don't want it."

Everyone was stunned, and Jiang Cheng was even more incredulous, "You don't want the gift I gave you?"

Jiang Xuxu just looked at him steadily, "Yes."

When Jiang Xuxu said this, the faces of the Jiang family members present were a little complicated.

Mrs. Jiang at the side spoke immediately,

"Xu Xu, I know your cousin did something that made you unhappy before, but it's all in the past. He has apologized to you and now he has prepared such a thoughtful gift for you in advance. You are being too petty."

Jiang Huai and the others frowned and were about to speak, but Jiang Cheng at the side had already turned cold and stood up suddenly and said,

"If you don't want the gift I prepared specifically for you, then I don't have to ask you to do it."

He said, and looked around at everyone,

"You all saw that she looked down on me. Don't say I was targeting her in the future!"

Jiang Cheng said, holding the jewelry box and was about to turn around and leave, but behind him, Jiang Xuxu spoke again coldly,

"Is this gift really prepared specifically for me?"

Second uncle Jiang Yumin couldn't help but ask,

"Xu Xu, what you said, if Jiang Cheng's gift is not prepared for you, then how could it be prepared for someone else? Don't be ignorant, apologize to your cousin quickly."

Jiang Xuxu was unmoved by

what he said, but looked at Jiang Cheng, his voice cold, "You are right, I do look down on you, but I don't accept your gift, not against you, but because it is something you prepared for others."

Jiang Xuxu's last words made the Jiang family members present a little confused, only Jiang Huai was the first to react, his eyes that were always smiling suddenly became a little cold.

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Jiang Xuxu say,

"If I remember correctly, the jewelry box in your hand is a custom-made model of the D family, and their custom-made models are all booked at least one month in advance."

Jiang Yuxin was the first to react to Jiang Xuxu's reminder.

Yes, why didn't she think of this just now.

It would take at least a month to customize Jiang Cheng's box, and he just said that he designed and customized the necklace himself, so the work would take at least three months.

Three months ago.

Xuxu had just returned not long ago, and at that time, Jiang Cheng was not satisfied with Jiang Xuxu at all, let alone preparing a birthday gift for her in advance.

Thinking about what Jiang Xuxu had just said, Jiang Yuxin suddenly thought of a possibility, and at that moment, there was a bit of annoyance in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Cheng.

If this is really what she thought.

Then this nephew is too incompetent!

As a woman, Xue Ningyu is also more sensitive to this kind of thing. She quickly reacted and looked at her son with a look of disappointment.

Only a few men were still clearly out of the situation, so Jiang Xuxu simply made it clearer, reaching out and pointing at the custom letters on his box,

"The xx on your box is not Jiang Xuxu's x, but Lu Xuexi's x, right?"

She said, and her almond-shaped eyes looked at Jiang Cheng again, her eyes full of indifference,

"I don't want the necklace you customized specifically for Lu Xuexi."

Her last sentence was not heavy, but when Jiang Cheng heard it, he was shocked and his face turned red.

Jiang Su on the side jumped up in disbelief and pointed at Jiang Cheng,

"Brother Cheng! You are too much! What right did Lu Xuexi not want to give to my sister as a birthday present?!"
