Chi Jiao planned to leave the old residence early after giving the gift to her grandfather.
When she returned to the living room, Chi Jiao realized that Chi Yan and Zhu Limin had returned as well. They were chatting with Old Master Chi, and beside them were her first and second aunts.
Her two aunts got along well with Zhu Limin, so Chi Jiao still greeted them out of courtesy. The two of them sized her up with a scrutinizing gaze before greeting her indifferently.
"Jiaojiao, we've already given our gifts to Grandpa. Where's yours?" Chi Yan looked at Chi Jiao with a hidden sharpness in her eyes.
She already knew that Lan Yunhan and Chi Jiao had gone to the back garden together.
Although she knew very well that Lan Yunhan wouldn't like a young girl like Chi Jiao who came from the mountains, Chi Yan still felt awkward.
Lan Yunhan was hers. Chi Jiao wasn't worthy of snatching him from her.
As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, the few of them turned to look at Chi Jiao.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes that harbored ill intentions.
What good thing could she take out?
"Grandpa, Jiaojiao wishes you good fortune and a long life. This is the gift I prepared for you. " Chi Jiao ignored those malicious gazes and calmly took out a transparent plastic bag from her furry little white bag before handing it to Old Master Chi.
Everyone's gazes landed on the plastic bag.
Inside the transparent plastic bag were dried flowers. However, the dried flowers looked rather strange. They were the size of a fingernail and had eight petals. There were strange black patterns inside the red petals.
But no matter how strange they were, they were still dried flowers, right?
That was it?
Zhu Limin couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Jiaojiao, is this the gift you meticulously prepared for your grandfather?"
She deliberately emphasized the word 'meticulously', making it sound especially sarcastic.
"These dried flowers look no different from the ten-yuan bouquet of baby's breath on the streets, right?" Chi Yan covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Chi Jiao mockingly. "Sister Jiaojiao, you're so cute."
It was actually worse than she had imagined. This country bumpkin actually used dried flowers as a birthday gift. It was too embarrassing.
Sitting beside Zhu Limin, her first and second aunts couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Hehe, that's right. Jiaojiao is so cute. She actually thought of giving Grandpa dried flowers."
"Although this gift is indeed a little casual, it is indeed the child's kind intentions."
However, Old Master Chi liked Chi Jiao's gifts very much. In fact, he would receive all sorts of birthday gifts from her every year.
The gifts Chi Jiao sent him were either strange herbs or dried flowers used to make tea. Old Master Chi was already used to it.
Chi Jiao had asked him to boil and consume those herbs. The dried flowers were used to make tea, but because they were given by Chi Jiao, he couldn't bear to use them and kept them.
"You must have worked hard again to prepare these dried flowers," Old Master Chi said as he looked at Chi Jiao with heartache and took the dried flowers from her.
He had heard from Jiaojiao's god-grandfather that the dried flowers that Jiaojiao gave him were very precious. Every time, she had to prepare them carefully for a long time.
"It's alright. It's not tough at all. Does Grandpa like it?" Chi Jiao looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Old Master Chi raised the dried flowers in front of his eyes and looked at them. These dried flowers were even more beautiful than the ones Chi Jiao had given him in the past. He smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Chi." A middle-aged man in a suit, his hair glossy with hair oil, walked over and greeted Old Master Chi with a smile.
Chi Yan's eyes lit up when she saw the middle-aged man.
This man was Shen Yin, the CEO's secretary of Fuhua, the largest pharmaceutical company in Country Hua.
