Chapter 192 Meeting Gift

"Qiqi is so good." Shen Jiaojiao closed the lid of the brocade box and rubbed Jiang Qiqi's little head with her free hand.

Jiang Qiqi showed her a big smile and said, "Sister, you're so pretty."

She pursed her lips and smiled, but felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

It was a gift from her elders. Since she accepted the greeting gift from Mrs. Chiang, she should return the gift...

But things happened suddenly, and she didn't prepare any decent gifts for the meeting. It was too late to tell the maid to buy them now.

How can this be good?

"Shen Jiaojiao, didn't you prepare a gift?"

The steady voice passed through the bustling crowd and reached her ears.

She turned her head and saw her sworn brother standing behind her.

Glancing to the side, Yuzhu was holding a wooden tray and standing respectfully aside.

Seeing her looking over, Yuzhu winked at her and motioned her to look at what was on the plate.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly and glanced at the tray.

There are all precious objects placed inside, and everything looks very precious. It can be seen that the person involved spent a lot of time thinking about it.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was a gift prepared by her adopted brother for her.

"Yi, sworn brother..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at the man again, silently waiting for his next words.

Meng Hui turned slightly, raised his hand to hold an emerald green safety button, and handed it to Jiang Qiqi.

"this is for you."

"Ah?" Jiang Qiqi tilted her head and stared at the beautifully colored safety button.

Everyone could see that the little doll wanted it very much.

The little baby hesitated for a long time, quickly raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Jiang, but did not dare to reach out and take it.

Meng Hui maintained the posture of bending down to hand things over, his eyes were indifferent, but a smile that was so faint that it was difficult to detect gradually appeared on his lips.

This little doll really looks like Shen Jiaojiao.

If Shen Jiaojiao was pregnant with a baby, would she be as cute as snow and ice?

Shen Jiaojiao didn't know what Meng Hui was thinking.

From her perspective, she couldn't see her adopted brother's expression at all. She even thought that he was unhappy because he was rejected by a little baby.

How dare she let her adopted brother lose face?

Thinking of this, she quickly took the safety buckle from the man's big palm, squatted down, and stuffed the safety buckle into Jiang Qiqi's hand.

"Take it, this is a meeting gift from my sister."

After saying that, he raised his face and looked at Meng Hui.

"This is my sister's adopted brother. You can also call him brother."

Jiang Qiqi raised the safety buckle and looked at it again and again. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Her eyes narrowed with laughter.

"I like this gift! Thank you sister, thank you brother."

Seeing that the little one was coaxed, Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

She stood next to Meng Hui and nodded gently.

This was to thank her sworn brother for helping her prepare the meeting gift.

Meng Hui seemed to understand what she meant, and without saying anything, his sharp eyes glanced at Yuzhu aside, motioning for her to help Shen Jiaojiao.

Yuzhu understood, holding the tray with one hand, and pointing to the jade Ruyi in the tray with one hand.

"Miss, didn't you say that you wanted to present the carefully prepared jade Ruyi to Mrs. Jiang?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, followed Yuzhu's prompts, and successfully presented the gift.

Except for Mr. Jiang who was not present, the rest of the Jiang family received carefully prepared gifts.

Jiang Yi and others also sent gifts in return.

Seeing this, everyone present applauded and congratulated the Meng and Jiang families for joining forces.

Those who have good intentions have noticed that Mrs. Lin's face does not look good.

They quickly recalled the rumor that had spread wildly in Lin'an City - the Lin family wanted to use dirty tricks to gain access to the Jiang family.

Of course, the message was quickly blocked.

But looking at this situation, things might be just as the rumors say.

Everyone looked at the situation calmly, thinking about how to form a team.

The actions of the Lin family angered Governor Jiang, and their relationship with Governor Wei was not good... Is Lin'an going to change?

No, the Lin family can’t be defeated!
You know, noble people from the capital moved directly into the Lin family!

……

After the marriage ceremony, Mrs. Meng called Meng Hui out on the pretext that something happened.

When Shen Jiaojiao saw her adoptive mother's serious face, she obviously realized that this was the work of her adoptive brother, and she wanted to drag him away for questioning.

She raised her hand to stop him.

Meng Hui held her wrist and gently pulled her to Mrs. Jiang, "Let's talk to your new adoptive mother."

This meant telling her to leave it alone.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that her sworn brother had made up his mind and no one could change it. She could only watch Mrs. Meng and Meng Hui leave.

Mrs. Jiang held her hand with a smile and said, "Jiaojiao, come quickly, my stepmother will take you to meet someone."

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and accompanied Mrs. Jiang to the ladies.

Mrs. Jiang took her time to lead her around the banquet, showing her to everyone, and constantly emphasizing her new identity——

Mrs. Chiang’s adopted daughter.

She was in a trance and instinctively cooperated with Mrs. Jiang to deal with the guests.

For the first time, someone loved her openly.

For the first time, someone brought her to the guests and said loudly, "This is my daughter" with pride and happiness.

This is the whole-hearted love that Mrs. Meng has never given her.

Seeing the smile that could not be concealed on Mrs. Jiang's face, she was moved and felt even more aggrieved.

Indescribable grievances loomed over her.

It turns out that this is love.

She had never received such love.

Mrs. Jiang was attentive and quickly noticed that something was wrong with Shen Jiaojiao's expression. If she looked closely, her eyes were still slightly red, but she didn't look like she was about to cry.

Mrs. Jiang quickly stopped the greetings and pulled her to a deserted place.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Mrs. Jiang's worried look, Shen Jiaojiao felt even more aggrieved.

Tears fell from her cheeks and hit the ground, breaking into small drops of water.

"You kid, why are you still crying? Has your adoptive mother wronged you?"

Mrs. Jiang was startled and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears.

She shook her head and pursed her lips without speaking.

Mrs. Jiang was anxious and immediately took her to a secluded place to ask her what was going on.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head again and refused.

Today was a banquet hosted by the Jiang family. How could she let Mrs. Jiang leave the nobles at the banquet for her own petty emotions?

Seeing her persistence, Mrs. Jiang didn't know the reason, and she didn't want to force her, so she had to give up.

Jiang Yi happened to come and Mrs. Jiang simply asked her to accompany Shen Jiaojiao to go shopping elsewhere.

This time Shen Jiaojiao did not refuse.

The two girls walked out side by side.

Jiang Yi took her to the backyard, away from the hustle and bustle of the lobby.

"Shen Jiaojiao, I really didn't expect that we would become sisters." Jiang Yi said.

"Well, I didn't expect that either."

"It's a pity. I thought today would announce the happy event between me and Brother Ah Hui." As he said that, Jiang Yi glanced at her calmly.

"Maybe it will be announced later."

Seeing her calm expression, Jiang Yi looked away with a happy smile on his face, "I think so."

While the two were talking, voices came from somewhere.

"...I didn't hide it from you. It is good for the Meng family that she is married to Mrs. Jiang."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly widened.

Is this... the voice of my sworn brother?
