While everyone was talking, she quietly asked Gu Qinglin to share some of the food in her bowl with her.
If it weren't for Lao Gu, she would probably have to walk with the help of the wall.
After dinner, Dad Li took everyone to the lounge in the box to drink tea and chat.
A meal lasts from around 11 a.m. to almost 3 p.m.
Ye Jiaying found an opportunity to say goodbye.
It is winter now, the days are short and the nights are long, it gets dark early, and the fruit shop closes earlier than before. Today is the first day of business after the Chinese New Year. She has to go home tomorrow, so she has to rush back to the store today to check on it.
"Okay, Xiaoye, come to our house to play anytime. Yueyue, when you're free, come and play with Xiaoye too."
Although the Li family and others were reluctant to leave, there was still a long way to go, Grandma Li said to Ye Jiaying with a smile.
Ye Jiaying and Xiaoyue both agreed.
The group packed up their things and headed towards the hotel entrance.
The waiter at the lobby entrance has already notified the doorman to drive both cars over.
"Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Auntie, we will go back first."
Standing in front of the car, Ye Jiaying waved goodbye to the Li family.
"Okay, be careful on the road. Grandma is waiting for you to come home and play."
Grandma Li held Ye Jiaying's hand, touched it lovingly, and said something.
Ye Jiaying smiled and nodded, and said to Xiaoyue.
"Okay, Yueyue can also come to Jingda to play with me."
Grandma Li held her hand and praised her a few more times. She couldn't break free by force, so she could only smile, nod and listen.
While Dad Li was talking, he took out a few boxes from the trunk of his car and handed them to Grandma Li.
"Xiao Ye, this is a little gift prepared for you by your family. You must accept it."
The beautifully wrapped gift box was stuffed into Ye Jiaying's hands.
She quickly refused, "No need, Grandma Li. Didn't we have dinner together today? We can just visit each other more often in the future."
"It's just a little gift. It's a token of my grandmother's love. You must accept it. If you don't accept it, you might think that grandmother's gift is too insignificant."
Grandma Li did not play by the rules and her words left Ye Jiaying speechless.
While Ye Jiaying was at a loss, she took the opportunity to stuff the thing into Gu Qinglin's arms.
"Xiaolin, please help hold it."
The old lady was quite strong. Gu Qinglin was suddenly stuffed with something and hugged him subconsciously. Only then did she nod in satisfaction.
"Okay, let's not block the way at the door. Xiaolin, help grandma take Xiaoye home."
After stuffing the things in, Grandma Li was afraid that Ye Jiaying would return them, so she pushed Ye Jiaying and the other girl into the car.
Following the old lady's strength, Gu Qinglin put the gift box into the car and nodded to the old lady, "I understand, Grandma Li."
"Okay, let's go, let's go. Next time you come to my house to play, grandma will make you something delicious."
After stuffing the gifts into the bags, Grandma Li acted as if she had completed a task. Without saying anything more, she waved to the two men and told them to drive away quickly.
The car was now parked at the entrance of the lobby. There was another car coming from behind, so there was no way to stay for long. The two were pushed into the car, and after saying goodbye to the Li family through the window, the car drove away from the Jingshi Hotel.
From the rearview mirror, they could see that the Li family members got into the car and left quickly after they did.
The car first drove to the "Fresh Fruit Garden" store. Ye Jiaying asked Han Xiaomei about the business situation of the store, settled the bill, and waited until the store closed before leaving the fruit store to go home.
The car drove back to the courtyard. Gu Qinglin did not get out of the car but kissed her forehead.
"I'll take you home early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early tonight."
He was in such a mess yesterday that he didn't dare go home tonight.
Ye Jiaying didn't try to keep him. He had been with her all day and would have to get up early tomorrow to drive her home. She also wanted him to rest for a while.
So I nodded obediently, kissed him, got off the car and went home.
After returning to the house, Ye Jiaying went to wash up first. After washing and taking care of her skin, her eyes fell on the gift box that Grandma Li gave her.
I don’t know what the Li family gave, but the two gift boxes are very exquisite and look very valuable.
She sat on the sofa with two gift boxes, took one of them and opened the exquisite packaging. Inside was a silk scarf and two jewelry boxes.
The pattern of the scarf looks quite standard, suitable for young people, and you won’t go wrong wearing it out.
The outside of the two jewelry boxes are carved with wood, and they look antique, very much like the things her godmother gave her before.
She picked up a jewelry box and opened it, revealing a set of gold ornaments.
There are three pieces in total: a necklace, a bracelet, and earrings.
The most gorgeous one among them is the very beautiful dragon and phoenix bracelet, which is exquisitely carved with flying dragons and phoenixes, and is magnificent.
Although Ye Jiaying is not old enough to like gold, she has to admit that this bracelet is exquisite.
The necklace, earrings and bracelet are a set, but the bracelet is not as visually shocking.
This set of gold jewelry is more than enough to be used as a dowry.
After admiring the exquisite bracelet for a while, Ye Jiaying took another jewelry box and opened it.
There is also a three-piece set of jewelry inside, but it is jade jewelry.
A Wu Shi Pai, a bracelet and a pair of earrings.
Ye Jiaying scratched the side of his face.
Isn’t it a bit expensive? Any one of these two sets of jewelry is enough for an ordinary family to live a rich and comfortable life for ten years.
The other gift bag was not opened yet, so she closed the two jewelry boxes in her hands and put them aside, then opened another gift bag.
When the bag was opened, there was also a beautifully wrapped gift box inside, which was slightly larger than the previous one.
When I opened the box, I found a brand-name bag inside that was also very famous in later generations. The color was a very beautiful burgundy. It was a classic style and was also very popular in later generations.
The bag was taken out, and there was a box underneath, which contained a set of pearl jewelry.
The pearls on each piece of jewelry are particularly full and round, exuding a bright luster.
Maybe because she is a girl, these sets of gifts are all things girls like, such as bags, accessories, and scarves.
But she didn't know why there were so many accessories, gold, jade, pearls, she felt that one set would be enough.
The Li family was really "cunning". They didn't take it out during the meal. If she saw that there was so much, she would definitely not accept it.
The Li family may have predicted her reaction in advance, so before saying goodbye, Grandma Li took action and forced the things on the two of them at the door.
The three sets of accessories and bags that Ye Jiaying found strange were actually chosen for her by everyone in the Li family.
There are three sets of ornaments, one for each of grandparents, grandparents, and parents.
The bag and scarf were chosen for her by Li Xinyue.
It was such an expensive gift. If I accepted it at the time, I couldn't return it later. It felt like a slap in the face when the gift was sent back.
Or she could buy a few sets of things of similar value on the system and give them to Xiaoyue.
Having made up her mind, she breathed a sigh of relief and threw all her things into the system storage compartment.
