Chapter 227 I Just Don't Want to Lose You
The setting sun slowly shone, and as the night fell, a crimson glow burst out. The cool evening breeze gently brushed Su Man's cheek. She silently looked at the spectacular yet lonely evening scenery.
Seeing that Su Man had not come downstairs at dinner time, Aunt Wu came up to call her and said, "Madam, it's time to come down for dinner."
Su Man's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she murmured, "Auntie Wu, do you think I should go to Gu Yanchuan's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Madam, the young master is your only child. Can you really bear to miss his coming-of-age ceremony?" Aunt Wu quickly advised.
She had taken care of Su Man for so many years, so she could naturally see that the lady hated the young master, but at the same time she loved him instinctively.
She really didn't want to see her lady do something that she would regret because of her hatred.
After all, the young master is innocent.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look." Su Man stood up.
After all, that was the child she gave birth to at great pains.
Su Man walked downstairs and called out to Butler Zhong who was waiting in the living room.
"Butler Zhong, where is the invitation letter from the Gu family?"
Butler Zhong looked embarrassed: "Uh..."
"What? Where did you put it? Bring it to me." Since Gu Sinan said that he had asked Uncle Guo to send the invitation letter, he would definitely not lie to her.
Could it be that Butler Zhong withheld the invitation letter without permission?
"I threw it away." Ji Xiuci, who was sitting at the dining table, put down the newspaper in his hand, smiled gently, raised his hand and said, "Manman, come and sit down. We have your favorite pickled fish tonight."
He wanted to just brush it off, but Su Man refused and asked, "Did you throw away the invitation letter from the Gu family?"
"Yeah, didn't you promise me that you would never go to that damn place again?" Ji Xiuci said unconcernedly, "So what's wrong with me throwing away the invitation?"
Ji Xiuci stood up and was about to help Su Man sit down: "You're not going anyway, are you?"
"Who said I won't go?" Su Man directly pushed Ji Xiuci away.
The smile on Ji Xiuci's face disappeared instantly: "Manman, don't think I don't know. Gu sent you a message again this afternoon. You want to go to Gu's house to find him, right? Don't even think about it!"
"I'm just going to attend Gu Yanchuan's coming-of-age ceremony. Please stop having those random thoughts, okay?" Looking at his increasingly unfamiliar face, Su Man felt more tired than ever before.
She walked towards the trash can nearby, but didn't see the invitation. She turned around and asked, "Where's the invitation?"
Ji Xiuci said with a tense face: "Thrown it away." But he did not mention where he threw it.
"Anyway, I can attend Gu Yanchuan's coming-of-age ceremony without an invitation. Just throw it away if you want." Su Man walked towards the dining table indifferently. She was extremely tired and didn't want to say anything more.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Ji Xiuci completely exploded: "Don't use Gu Yanchuan as an excuse, you just want to go to the Gu family to see Gu Sinan!"
Hearing this, Su Man clenched her hands, and her sparkling peach blossom eyes were instantly filled with tears, but she did not try to explain as usual. She just picked up a piece of pickled fish and ate it with tears in her eyes.
Why had he never believed her? Was it her fault that she was forced by Gu Sinan? Is it her fault that he himself is impotent? Why does he always feel that she is obsessed with Gu Sinan?
Bang!
Ji Xiuci overturned the dishes on the table. He looked at her gloomily and said coldly, "Don't even think about going to Gu Sinan!"
Su Man's vision was blurred by tears. She looked at the man in front of her and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was Gu Sinan or Ji Xiuci.
What is the difference between them?
"Okay, I promise."
Ji Xiuci was slightly stunned.
Su Man trembled and repeated in a strong tone: "I promise you!"
Her eyes were so desperate that Ji Xiuci felt like he was going to lose her. He hugged her tightly and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, Manman, I just don't want to lose you."
Su Man was held weakly in his arms. She slowly closed her eyes and tears flowed down her cheeks.
......
Sheng family.
Jiang Lanxue opened the safe, which contained her treasured jewelry. Some were left to her by her late mother-in-law, some were given to her by Sheng Chongren, and some were purchased by her herself.
There are all kinds of jewelry, in addition to the common gold, silver, diamonds, and jade, there are also various sapphires, rubies and other Western gems.
Jiang Lanxue opened all the jewelry boxes and placed them on the bed. She said softly to her two daughters, "We will be attending a banquet at Gu's house in a few days. Come over and pick out a piece of jewelry you like."
"Wow!" Even though it was not the first time she saw it, Sheng Yuanyuan was still shocked by her mother's generosity. She moved closer to the jewels curiously, not knowing which one to choose.
What girl doesn't like sparkling jewelry?
Even the boy's snowball fell into the middle of the jewelry box, his little black eyes sparkling with stars: "Wow, when will I be able to own so many jewels?"
Sheng Beibei was not shy with her mother. She carefully admired her mother's collection and thought about which one would best match the custom-made dress she was going to wear today.
Jiang Lanxue picked up a set of jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. The teardrop-shaped diamond pendant on the necklace was particularly eye-catching. She said, "Beibei, why don't you choose this set?"
Sheng Beibei recognized that the pendant was the top-grade diamond named "Stars". It was extremely perfect in terms of cut, color and clarity. Today, the value of this diamond has exceeded 100 million.
"Mom, this is too expensive. I'm afraid something might go wrong at the party." Sheng Beibei was a little nervous. Wearing a diamond worth hundreds of millions around her neck, she felt like she might not even dare to walk.
"What's the big deal? With our family's financial resources, we can afford as much jewelry as you want." The more Jiang Lanxue looked at it, the more she felt that this set of jewelry was very suitable for her precious daughter, so she simply put the necklace on Sheng Beibei herself.
Jiang Lanxue nodded with satisfaction: "Yeah, it's really beautiful."
Sheng Beibei's clavicle lines are clear and distinct, and paired with a simple diamond necklace, she looks even more generous and decent. The more Jiang Lanxue looked at her, the more she liked her child. Her child was the most beautiful.
Jiang Lanxue put the matching earrings and bracelet on Sheng Beibei, took her hand with a smile, and said softly: "They will be yours from now on."
"Thank you, Mom." Sheng Beibei touched the "Star" pendant, and she couldn't believe that such a famous diamond would belong to her from now on.
Jiang Lanxue picked out another piece of jewelry that was also worth over 100 million yuan and gave it to Sheng Yuanyuan.
She had always tried her best to treat them equally and didn't want the two children to think she was partial. In fact, she was most worried about Yuanyuan. After all, Yuanyuan was the only child in the family. She was afraid that Yuanyuan would think she favored Beibei and thus exclude Beibei.
In fact, Jiang Lanxue was really worrying too much. She had finally found her sister, and Yuanyuan was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
