The whole world knows that Mr. Ji is chasing his wife
Chapter 11 Dance
Lan Ying, who was behind Tongue Gen, naturally heard it, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
Jiang Di was at a loss when she saw this. She had indeed forgotten to register the gift list and still had the gift in her bag.
"It's rare for mom to hold a birthday party. Is it possible that my sister-in-law didn't even prepare a gift?"
Ji Qinqin had always looked down on Jiang Di, feeling that the Jiang family was weak and that his family background was far from worthy of his eldest brother.
"I..." Jiang Di was interrupted by Su Jing before he could speak.
"That's understandable. I heard that Sister Jiang's natal family is a small business in Jiachuan City. The annual income is not very good. It's normal that she can't afford expensive gifts. After all, this is Aunt Lan's 40th birthday, so it's not easy to give out ordinary gifts. Like words."
Su Jing's voice was very thin, but her words were so loud that even Jiang Qifeng felt embarrassed when he heard it, but he couldn't interrupt.
Ji Qinqin and Su Jing kept talking to each other, just to make Jiang Di embarrassed in front of everyone. They decided that Jiang Di did not prepare a birthday gift for the birthday girl.
Even if there is, it must be something worthless, otherwise why would you be embarrassed to register a gift?
Jiang Di didn't say anything, but took out the gift box He Wei gave her just now from her bag and handed it over.
"Mom, I was in such a hurry to enter the venue just now that I forgot. This is a gift prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday, and may you have this day every year, and this day every year!"
"Whenever you give me a grandson, it will be the biggest gift." Lan Ying took the box and said with a smile.
"Aunt Lan, please open it and take a look! I also want to know what special gift Sister Jiang has prepared to give to you in person." Su Jing wanted to make Jiang Di look embarrassed.
Lan Ying didn't want to open the gift in front of everyone. She knew that Jiang Di married into the Ji family after graduation and had no job or income. The gift must be just jewelry worth tens of thousands of dollars.
"Aunt Lan, open it and take a look!"
"Okay, okay. Let's see what gift my daughter-in-law has prepared for me." Lan Ying couldn't help Su Jing's fuss, so she opened the gift box in front of everyone.
I saw a gem that was as red as dripping blood, dazzling in the sun, glowing with a soft luster. Every cut was exquisite, natural and ingenious.
"This is the Tears of Athena that was exhibited in Paris some time ago!" Jiang Qifeng stared at the ruby in Lan Ying's hand and exclaimed.
Yes, this is the Tears of Athena that Ji Yan bought at auction for 1.5 million two months ago.
It is said that the rough stone was discovered by archaeologists in Egypt and polished by hand by Stan, the international jewelry master. The only people who can participate in the auction are prestigious people in the world. Jiang Qifeng has only seen photos of gemstones in magazines.
Jiang Di's eyes widened and she looked at Ji Yan in disbelief. She didn't know what Tears of Athena was, but she probably guessed from everyone's expressions that it was something of great value.
Why didn't Ji Yan give it to Lan Ying himself instead of asking her to deliver it to her?
Lan Ying knew in her heart that Jiang Di had no identity to enter the auction, and there was no 1.5 million to buy this gem. Ji Yan must have bought it.
But the gem in her hand really made her unable to take her eyes away. She didn't have the intention to care about it so much, and she smiled broadly.
"Oh, Xiaodi, thank you for taking the trouble. I like this gift very much!"
Jiang Di rarely saw a smile on her mother-in-law's face, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, as long as you like it."
"Did you see it? This is a Hermès limited edition bag in the world."
"Hmm, I heard that not only senior members are eligible to purchase it, but also that it is limited to 5 pieces. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it."
When Jiang Di took out the gift box just now, he was noticed by several young ladies nearby. They noticed Jiang Di's bag and started talking about it.
Su Jing heard their discussion and blushed while holding it in. She heard her father mention the Tears of Athena at home, and of course she knew how valuable it was. She didn't expect Jiang Di to give it away as soon as he said it, and also carry a global limited edition of 5. Hermès.
Su Jing was secretly annoyed that she hadn't noticed it just now. She originally wanted Jiang Di to make a fool of herself in public, but she didn't expect that it would help her gain such a big limelight.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she left angrily.
Lan Ying took Ji Qinqin to greet other guests, while Jiang Qifeng also went to the side to find other chaebol bosses to get closer.
Su Lina stared at Jiang Di's bag and praised in an exaggerated tone: "Mrs. Ji, your bag is so beautiful."
Jiang Di lowered his head slightly: "Anyway, your bag is from Prada. It matches your temperament very well, and it looks like it costs a lot of money."
"Yes, I like this bag very much." Su Lina secretly moved the bag forward, "Ayan gave it to me. He knew that I didn't like Hermès, so he gave it Prada."
Jiang Di's eyebrows moved, remembering that Ji Yan once said that this bag was originally intended to be given to someone else, but was not given away.
Su Lina doesn't like Hermès, so it seems that this is really something Su Lina doesn't want.
Jiang Di glanced at Ji Yan and didn't see any expression on the man's face. Probably still angry about what happened last night.
Huh, that's really funny.
Carrying things that others didn't want, she was still happy for being in the limelight.
Jiang Di suddenly felt that it was ironic that she was standing here at this moment, so he said goodbye to everyone and entered the dining area of the residence in advance.
There is a dazzling array of food in the dining area. Familiar celebrities have long been sitting around a table, some chatting about official projects and others about famous paintings and wines. Jiang Di was not interested in any of this, so he took a piece of tiramisu and went to the rooftop.
Desserts can make people secrete dopamine, making the brain feel happy quickly.
The warm summer wind gently blew on Jiang Di's face. She closed her eyes gently and felt the light spots beating on her eyelids.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
A gentle male voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Jiang Di opened his eyes in fright.
It's Lin Che.
Jiang Di didn't expect to see him here again.
"Hello, Jiang Di."
Lin Che was covered in pure white, except for a narrow black ribbon tied on the collar of her shirt, which was decorated with dark gold threads if you looked closely. It turns out that after taking off his cosplayer clothes, he looks so clean and handsome. Lin Che's mouth was curved and she was smiling. There was a shred of summer light in her eyes, and there was a faint woody fragrance on her body. It smelled like she had accidentally broken into a secret forest.
"Senior Lin Che." Jiang Di smiled back.
"Did you come with your family?"
"Ah...right." Jiang Di didn't bother to explain that this was his mother-in-law's birthday party. Anyway, she was about to get divorced and leave the Ji family.
"The banquet is too boring. I just returned home and don't know anyone. So I came to the rooftop to get some fresh air." Lin Che's voice was very gentle, like a soft cloud, making people want to take off their guard.
"me too."
"Can you dance?"
"What?" Lin Che changed the topic so quickly that Jiang Di didn't react.
"Seeing that you are in good shape, I thought you had practiced dancing."
"I can't dance, I just do yoga at home."
Jiang Di's hair fluttered in the wind, and she tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears casually.
"After the meal, there was a small dance. The Ji family invited a well-known local symphony orchestra in Austria to accompany it."
Lin Che tilted her head and looked at Jiang Di with questioning eyes, "Are you willing to be my dance partner? I'll teach you."
"I'm very stupid, I probably won't be able to learn." Jiang Di laughed.
"It's very simple, trust me."
Lin Che's words had an unreasonable sense of security, and the words coming out of his mouth always made people find no reason to refuse.
Dancing is better than wandering around in the old house doing nothing. Jiang Di thought about it and agreed.
The two continued to enjoy the wind on the rooftop for a while before returning to the banquet hall.
Lively music echoed in the hall, and many people danced in the center of the hall.
Lin Che nodded slightly and stretched out her hand, "Beautiful lady, I invite you to dance with me."
Jiang Di pursed his lips and smiled, then put his hand up.
Lin Che was wearing a white tuxedo and looked like a handsome prince in this European-style castle building.
The clumsy dance of Jiang Di is like Cinderella attending the banquet in a pumpkin carriage. She moved her steps cautiously, fearing that she would step on Lin Che.
Lin Che's dance steps were very guiding, and she led the river flute to spin in accordance with the rhythm of the music.
Inch by inch, circle by circle, Jiang Di quickly adapted to Lin Che's pace.
Lin Che's hands were carefully placed around Jiang Di's waist, and his voice was as gentle and magnetic as his body.
"A little nervous, aren't you?"
"Yeah." Jiang Di responded, his palms sweating slightly.
"Don't worry, you danced very well. It doesn't look like it's your first time at all."
Jiang Di raised his head and met Lin Che's warm gaze. There seemed to be some inexplicable doting between his handsome brows.
Listening to the music that gradually slowed down in her ears, Jiang Di's eyes moved slightly. She could feel the sincerity and frankness of the man in front of her, but she had concealed her real name when they first met. Thinking of this, Jiang Di lowered his eyes in confusion.
"Qinqin, look! Isn't that Lin Che?"
Su Jing, who was standing on the outer circle, poked Ji Qinqin's arm and pointed to the middle of the crowd.
When Ji Qinqin heard Lin Che's name, she looked over expectantly, and her face darkened within a second.
"Why is she Brother Che's dance partner?"
"Does Jiang Di know Lin Che? I remember that when she held her wedding, Lin Che was not in the country." Su Jing was also a little confused.
"Humph, I don't know how to behave." When Ji Qinqin saw Lin Che's hand on Jiang Di's waist, she clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, and the fire in her eyes could roast Jiang Di on the spot.
At this moment, Jiang Di was concentrating on his dance steps and did not feel the hot eyes from outside the court.
The song is over and the dance is over.
People in the venue applauded the accompaniment group.
Jiang Di and Lin Che retreated to the outer circle. The man took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Di, and pointed to the fine sweat on her forehead.
Jiang Di took the handkerchief and said, "I didn't expect boys to carry something like this with them."
Lin Che straightened her bow tie and said, "Miss Jiang, this is a routine operation for a gentleman."
Jiang Di was amused by Lin Che's serious look. At this moment, Lin Che's cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone and said a few dull "hmm" in succession.
Lin Che hung up the phone and made an apologetic expression, "I have something to do at home, I have to leave first."
After that, he left the old house.
After Lin Che walked far away, Jiang Di remembered that his handkerchief was still in his hand.
I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again.
