Lawyer Gao is secretly jealous again

Chapter 74 Ding Jiaxu smiled

"Is it really that sour? It's called sour orange, can it be sweet?" Gao Huoling stuffed the rest of the orange into his mouth.

Ding Jiaxu almost drooled at the sight.

She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Ji Shuyi.

"Shuyi..." Ding Jiaxu is younger than Ji Shuyi, but older than her in generation, so it is not excessive to call her by her name.

"I have something for you."

Ding Jiaxu took out a book wrapped in wrapping paper and tied with a bow from her bag.

When he handed it to Ji Shuyi, she was a little surprised. When she looked at Gao Huoling, he just lowered his head and ate the sour oranges that even pregnant women could not eat.

Those who don’t understand might think he is pregnant.

To avoid embarrassment, she reached out and took it.

"You must be very happy to receive so many gifts today." Tong Xue smiled. There were some things she didn't understand, so she was the most innocent person here.

"I'll take a look at it later." Ji Shuyi could tell that it was a book, but he didn't know why they wanted to give him a book, so he didn't plan to open it in front of everyone.

"Shuyi, open it and take a look." Luo Yinyin didn't know what Ji Shuyi meant by that, but she insisted that he open it.

"If you like it, you must thank Jiaxu. It must be a gift she carefully selected. If you don't like it, Jiaxu also knows your preferences. We will all be a family in the future, so it's only natural that we understand each other."

"Then I can see now that Jia Xu doesn't like sour food."

There was nothing wrong with what Luo Yinyin said, but it was also a bit embarrassing.

Huo Sisi's face immediately darkened, and Tong Xue and Ji Wenlin also looked a little embarrassed.

Song Xinlan in the side hall heard it and her expression was not good.

But only Ding Jiaxu had a smile on his face, not showing any embarrassment at all.

"That's what Auntie said."

At Luo Yinyin's urging, Ji Shuyi tore open the exquisite wrapping paper. When the cover of the book came into her eyes, she immediately understood.

This is not a gift, it's a show of force.

Ding Jiaxu found this book at Gao Huoling's house and she liked it.

Now returning it to her in front of everyone is to draw a clear line between ourselves and her and to assert our sovereignty.

How could she not remember this book, even though so many years had passed?

She remembered that there was a photo of her in it, but she didn't dare to look at it.

I was afraid that I would not be able to hold back my tears.

By then, I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have a mouth full of words.

You are so bad, Ding Jiaxu, for making me so embarrassed and awkward at this time.

It was obvious that there was no joy on Ji Shuyi's face. Luo Yinyin thought that she didn't like it and wanted to take this opportunity to satirize Ding Jiaxu, so she took the book directly from Ji Shuyi's hand.

"Eh..." Before Ji Shuyi could stop him, the book was picked up and shaken, and the photo fell directly to the ground.

It fell suddenly on the coffee table in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Luo Yinyin was a little curious. She picked it up and saw that it was Ji Shuyi, the person in the photo.

"Shuyi? Is this you? This..."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Yinyin looked at Ding Jiaxu in confusion, then at Ji Shuyi.

Ji Shuyi glared at Luo Yinyin, reached out and snatched the photo and book, and the photo was put back into the book.

She held the book tightly in her hands.

Ji Shuyi looked up and showed an ugly smile; "I like it very much, thank you sister-in-law." "As long as my sister-in-law likes it..." The smile on Ding Jiaxu's face was not proud, nor sarcastic, but just indifferent.

But her eyes said, just know it.

"What does this mean, Jiaxu? You gave Shuyi a book, so how come there is her photo in it?" Luo Yinyin asked again without thinking.

Huo Sisi finally understood what was going on. She lowered her head and said nothing, waiting to watch the show.

Ji Shuyi wished he could use tape to seal Luo Yinyin's mouth.

"Mom...is there anything else you haven't done? Why don't we..."

"There's nothing I haven't done." Luo Yinyin interrupted Ji Shuyi and looked at Ding Jiaxu.

She thought Ding Jiaxu was up to something bad and wanted to expose her plan.

In fact, Ding Jiaxu did have a plan, but it was not her who was embarrassed when it was exposed; it was others who were embarrassed.

"Mom..." Ji Shuyi reached out to pull Luo Yinyin, trying to stop her from asking more questions.

But Luo Yinyin didn't care, she just felt that she was right.

"What do you mean by this gift? Who are you mocking? Do you look down on us?"

"Aunt treats you as a family member, you must not have this attitude."

"Aunt, you misunderstood." Ding Jiaxu explained calmly, "The meaning of this book is to return it to its original owner. Since my sister-in-law likes it, it would be better for her to keep it. It would be a bit inappropriate to leave it with someone else."

"What do you mean by returning the property to its original owner?" Luo Yinyin was even more confused.

Gao Jinghan understood. He reached out to grab Luo Yinyin, but she suddenly stood up and pointed at Ding Jiaxu.

"Let me make it clear. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because everyone is on your side."

"Since my aunt wants me to explain it clearly, then I will say it." Ding Jiaxu also stood up.

"Tell me, I want to see what you can say." Luo Yinyin crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking extremely proud.

Huo Sisi and Gao Tianyou looked at each other, and Huo Sisi shook her head at Gao Tianyou.

"Mom...can you please stop talking?" Ji Shuyi knew that once some words were spoken, she would be most embarrassed.

"Okay, stop pulling me, let her finish what she is saying."

"Yes, sister-in-law, let me, as your sister-in-law, finish what I want to say to avoid embarrassment in the future."

Ding Jiaxu glanced at Ji Shuyi and then at Luo Yinyin.

"Aunt, this book was left by your daughter-in-law to my husband. Now that we are married, do some things have to be returned to their original owners?"

"I think since we all have our own families, some things in the past should be in the past. I don't want my cousin to find out and think too much about it..."

"After all, it's better to keep the photo of your wife by your side."

"Enough, stop talking... Ding Jiaxu, are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?" Ji Shuyi stood up and pointed at Ding Jiaxu.

Ding Jiaxu reached out and pulled Ji Shuyi's hand down, motioning her to calm down.

"Don't get angry, stay calm, you are a pregnant woman. In this case, sister-in-law, please tell me the truth so that I can rest assured. Just tell me, what is your attitude towards my husband?"

"What attitude... He's your husband, don't you know that?" Ji Shuyi didn't care about the child at this moment, she just wanted to prove herself.

Luo Yinyin suddenly understood.

This was the item that Gao Huoling and Ji Shuyi had been arguing about in the past, and now Ding Jiaxu had obviously come to claim his sovereignty.

It seems that she has been tricked.

She was about to start cursing when Song Xinlan came over.
