1248 Help To Block Me
In the end, Wang Yunzhong looked a little out of place with the others present. Although he was Wang Yunmei’s biological brother, he looked more like an outsider.
However, it was Wang Yunmei’s birthday today, so Jian Ai didn’t give Wang Yunzhong a bad expression. Jiang Chunfen even took the initiative to greet him. On the surface, everyone was relatively harmonious.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t wait to take out the gift he had prepared.
“Xiao Mei, this is Elder Brother’s birthday gift to you. I don’t know what you like, so I bought one casually. Look and see if it suits you.” Wang Yunzhong smiled and handed the exquisite gift box to Wang Yunmei.
Seeing this, Wang Yunmei was slightly stunned. She immediately said, “Brother, I don’t accept gifts for my birthday. Look, no one bought anything. Quickly take it back.”
Wang Yunmei didn’t reach out to take it. The main reason was that she didn’t want to be involved too much in this matter with Wang Yunzhong. Inviting him to a meal was already her greatest concession. She knew he had an impure goal for her daughter, so she couldn’t accept his gift.
Moreover, no one bought anything. It was unreasonable to only accept Wang Yunzhong’s gift. In the end, Wang Yunmei was a little upset that she forgot to remind Wang Yunzhong not to buy anything.
However, Wang Yunzhong didn’t think too much about it. He thought that Wang Yunmei was embarrassed. “It’s fine. Brother already bought it. Just accept it. I won’t do it again!”
These words gave Wang Yunmei a way out.
Wang Yunzhong held the gift up like that. Wang Yunmei sighed in her heart. Seeing this, Jian Ai said, “Mom, since Uncle already bought it, accept it.”
Gifts were bought based on someone in mind. Jian Au thought if her mother didn’t want it, he would’ve bought this gift for nothing.
Most importantly, she would not feel she owed her uncle a favor just because he bought a gift for her mother. A brother giving his sister a gift on her birthday was not considered a favor.
Seeing this, Wang Yunzhong quickly nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ve already bought it. Keep it. It’s also a token of Brother’s appreciation.”
As he spoke, Wang Yunzhong stuffed the thing into Wang Yunmei’s hand.
As such, Wang Yunmei could only accept it. She opened it and saw that it was a luxury brand bag. Although it was not a top luxury brand like Hermes or Hongfan Kata, it was still an A-list brand. Such a bag cost at least twenty thousand yuan.
“Brother isn’t good at choosing. Don’t mind me,” Wang Yunzhong said.
However, he had especially paid attention to it. Ever since Wang Yunmei’s family background improved, her appearance had changed greatly. Her clothes were also more particular. Wang Yunzhong realized that every time he saw Wang Yunmei, the bag in her hand was different.
Women liked to buy bags. Wang Yunmei also liked to buy bags in the past, but they were all good-looking but cheap. She only took out bags worth over ten thousand yuan this year.
Therefore, Wang Yunzhong went to choose a bag. Moreover, it was a popular color. He needed to request a transfer of goods to get it. He spent a lot of effort.
Wang Yunmei smiled and nodded. Although she felt it was a little expensive, she could only accept it.
Moreover, to be honest, she liked the bag Wang Yunzhong chose at a glance. After all, it was a popular color and a popular style, so it must be difficult to buy it. Wang Yunmei, who often bought bags, knew this.
With everyone present, everyone prepared dinner. Wang Yunzhong didn’t know how to cook, so he chatted with Yao Feng in the living room.
Wu Shaoqi was a hidden chef. Today, he was in charge, and the three women were his assistants.
As soon as the kitchen door closed, Jiang Chunfen looked at Wang Yunmei and said helplessly, “Your brother hasn’t bought me a bag all these years.”
The two of them started dating at university. At that time, they did not have money. When the two of them had money, they were already an old married couple. The small surprises in their lives were long gone.
Wang Yunmei was also very helpless. “I forgot to tell him there’s no need to buy a gift. Sigh.”
On the other hand, Wang Yunzhi was still thinking about Wang Yunfa. She couldn’t help but say with a worried expression, “Sister, do you think Yunfa will go to jail?”
Although she had always despised him, he was still her brother. Whatever internal conflicts there were in the family were family matters. Since this involved going to jail, she could not help but worry.
Wang Yunmei was the same.
“Didn’t Brother say that the matter isn’t serious? As long as the other party agrees to reconcile, he can come out,” Wang Yunmei said.
Sighing, Wang Yunzhi nodded. She didn’t want to talk about this on her sister’s birthday, so she didn’t continue.
In the living room, Jian Ai was nestled in the corner of a sofa with Ji Haoyu beside her. She hid behind Ji Haoyu because she did not want Wang Yunzhong to see her and talk to her.
Fortunately, Wang Yunzhong didn’t appear too deliberate. Instead, he naturally chatted warmly with Yao Feng.
At this moment, Ji Haoyu suddenly leaned over. Jian Ai subconsciously raised her hand to hold his shoulder, almost thinking that Ji Haoyu was going to lie in her arms.
Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Ai’s frightened expression in amusement and raised his handsome eyebrows. “What? I’m not a virus.”
Retracting her hand, Jian Ai answered calmly, “It was an instinctive reaction.”
“Why do I feel you don’t have a good relationship with your uncle?” Ji Haoyu suddenly lowered his voice and secretly said.
Jian Ai was stunned but didn’t deny it. “Is it that obvious?”
Ji Haoyu smiled and nodded. He liked this girl’s straightforwardness. If she liked it, she liked it. If she didn’t like it, she couldn’t be bothered to brush him off.
Jian Ai pursed her lips. “If you can tell, help to block me from his sight.”
“Alright!” When Ji Haoyu heard this, he sat straight and blocked Jian Ai behind him, revealing only his feet.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but pursed her lips and smile. Looking at Ji Haoyu’s broad and firm back, she felt he was a little cute.
The Jian Group usually got off work at five in the afternoon. Occasionally, there would be a team that would end work at night. At this moment, the sky was completely dark. The Jian Group’s building was almost completely dark, and only the CEO’s office and the other windows on the top floor were lit.
Jian Changsheng came out of the office reeking of alcohol. He had been drinking the entire afternoon but couldn’t get drunk. He was even more sober than usual.
“CEO!”
Lili had been waiting outside the office. When she saw Jian Changsheng finally come out, she quickly went up to him. “Are you okay?”
The stench of alcohol entered her nose, making Lili cover her nose. She said to Jian Changsheng worriedly, “You drank a lot!”
Lili’s sudden appearance shocked Jian Changsheng. His already sober mind instantly sobered up. “Why aren’t you off work yet?”
