However, it had been so long, and Jiang Fei still mentioned this potted flower. It seemed that he valued it very much.
If she directly said that she had raised it to death, would she still be able to marry into the Jiang family?
"I just want to know how you're doing with that potted flower." Jiang Fei forced out a smile. "That potted flower is quite difficult to raise."
Jiang Yuning also looked at Nian Xi curiously. He remembered that Nian Xi had raised a lot of flowers and plants. She could even raise the toughest orchid to death. Although he had given that potted flower to Nian Xi, he had always been taking care of it. After he left, although he had left some fertilizer, he was not sure if Nian Xi could take good care of it.
Nian Xi was speechless when she faced the gazes of their family. It was one thing for Jiang Fei and his wife to look at her, but what was Jiang Yuning looking at? Didn't he know her character?
"It's not bad. It's doing quite well," Nian Xi replied as if nothing had happened. "I have to take good care of such a rare species."
Jiang Fei heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. It took me ten years to raise that potted flower. Who knew that this kid would steal the flower when I wasn't paying attention. Sigh."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Nian Xi. At this point, if this future daughter-in-law was smart, she would take the initiative to return the flower.
Nian Xi felt a headache coming on. She pretended not to understand the meaning behind Jiang Fei's words. She braced herself and nodded, looking serious. "I didn't expect it to be so valuable. Uncle, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of it. Don't worry."
Jiang Fei: "…"
That wasn't what he meant.
Just as she was about to ask again, Shi Qingtong felt that it was too embarrassing for her husband to bite a potted flower hard and not let go of it on Nian Xi's first time at home. She directly interrupted, "Nian Xi, with your words, your uncle is relieved. It's still a little cold at night in Beijing this month. Let's go in first."
"Okay." Nian Xi quickly followed Shi Qingtong into the courtyard and heaved a sigh of relief.
After entering the courtyard, she was surprised to find that there were many exotic flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. There were also pine and cypress trees, ginkgo trees, and some others that she had never seen before. In short, the courtyard was filled with plants, leaving only a stone path in the middle to the lobby.
Shi Qingtong explained to her, "Yuning's father is a biologist. He especially likes to study flowers, plants, stones, and animals. These were all planted by him. I don't know where he got the big stone in the garden from. It's said to be from the Tang Dynasty."
Nian Xi nodded.
After entering the living room, he found that it was indeed different from the living room of ordinary people. Other people had vases and paintings, but their living room was filled with animal skeletons and various plant specimens.
There was a corridor to the right of the hall that led to a room. Nian Xi glanced at it, then took a few steps back in fright and leaned against Jiang Yuning.
It was nighttime, and the lights in the corridor were not turned on. The cold moonlight shone in, and at the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a gloomy skeleton.
Jiang Yuning quickly supported her and followed her gaze. He smiled. "Xixi, you're not afraid of that thing, are you? What's there to be afraid of? It's just a gorilla skeleton."
"…"
What did he mean by it was just a gorilla skeleton?
Nian Xi was speechless. Who would be scared to death by a skeleton in the hallway in the middle of the night? It was so scary.
"How could you … put such a precious thing in the corridor at home?" Nian Xi stammered.
"That's not a real gorilla skeleton. I made it," Jiang Fei said proudly. "Do you want to go over and take a look? It's definitely the same as the real thing."
