After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 136: People from small families don’t understand the rules

Zhu Jinxun looked around and saw Ji Siyan standing not far away.

Today, Ji Siyan is wearing a strapless vermilion evening gown with gorgeous roses embroidered on the skirt with golden silk thread, paired with dark red lipstick, which makes her bright and elegant.

Even when she met Zhu Jin's eyes, she did not show any timidity. Instead, her colleague raised his chin, his eyes full of provocation.

Another girl standing next to Ji Siyan answered the question.

"People from this small family are stingy, don't know the rules, and don't even know how to prepare birthday banquets."

After these words, many people couldn't help but whisper.

Logically speaking, Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng are from the same family, so they only need to prepare one gift, which is not considered rude.

However, Ji Siyan deliberately raised her voice and pointed it out.

Naturally, many people would point fingers at Zhu Jin because of her status as the Miss Ji family and the third wife of the Huo family.

After all, everyone present knew why Zhu Jin was able to marry into the Huo family.

Just a happy girl.

Now that Huo Jingcheng's health is improving, Zhu Jin may get divorced and go home in a few days.

Therefore, not many people take her seriously.

"Third aunt is joking." Zhu Jin walked up to Mr. Huo, holding the sandalwood carved box he had prepared in advance and presented it to him.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Jin slowly opened the box.

Lying quietly in the box was a delicate jade ring.

The finger wrench is simple in style, but the quality is exceptionally high.

only……

This is not a rare good thing in upper class society.

Mr. Huo had a straight face, making it difficult to see his emotions and expressions.

Ji Siyan raised her lips and sneered, "Just give me a ring as a gift. You really don't take the old man's birthday party seriously."

Mr. Huo's face seemed a bit ugly.

Ji Siyan wanted to say more, but Huo Zhiqi pulled her arm off. She swallowed the taunting words and only snorted with contempt and ridicule from her nose.

There was no trace of embarrassment or embarrassment on Zhu Jin's face. She introduced it calmly and generously, "This is the jade ring I specially designed for you."

"The ring surface is a hand-carved pattern. I hope you will be healthy and vigorous in the coming year, your career will be even more powerful, and you will lead the Huo Group to develop a better future."

The woman's voice was clear and sweet, and her words were clear.

Mr. Huo's face softened slightly, but he still did not ask Zhu Jin to get up, nor did he move to receive the gift.

"Oh, these blessings are really pleasant to the ears."

An old woman walked out of the crowd.

Wearing a simple and decent emerald green cheongsam, her gray hair was meticulously tied back, and the most eye-catching thing was the silver emerald necklace she wore around her neck.

She walked to Zhu Jin's side, reached out to pick up the jade ring in the sandalwood box, and looked at it carefully.

"Lao Huo, if you don't like this gift, just give it to me. I'll exchange it for you with the jade from the Jian family's warehouse."

"That won't work."

Mr. Huo, who had been motionless, grabbed the jade ring and held it in his arms along with the box.

"Mrs. Jian, you can't do this. This is a birthday gift from my granddaughter-in-law. There is no reason to exchange things with others."

Mrs. Jian's eyes still fell on the sandalwood box, looking very reluctant to part with it.

"Really?" Mrs. Jian asked.

Mr. Huo turned sideways to block her view, "Of course not."

"That's really a pity." Mrs. Jian looked away, "I was still thinking that it would be a perfect match for the necklace I wore today."

Mr. Huo squinted his eyes and said, "This is also..."

"It was your grandson's wife who designed it." Mrs. Jian admitted generously.

Many people in the crowd exclaimed and were surprised, and there were even more comments.

No one would have thought that the grandson-in-law of the Huo family would suddenly turn into a designer of the Huo Group.

Moreover, it seems that he has a good relationship with the old lady of the Jian family.

"I like her design very much." Mrs. Jian's fingers lingered on the necklace pendant around her neck. "The design is classic yet novel. It's a pity that she was not able to sign a long-term contract with her, and Ming Yue and Lao Xing took the lead. ”

As soon as these words came out, the discussion stopped abruptly. When everyone looked at Zhu Jin who was standing in front of the two old men, their eyes had long lost the initial contempt and ridicule, and instead had a little more admiration.

Zhu Jin said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Thank you, Madam Jian, for your love."

Mrs. Jian held Zhu Jin's hand, smiled and caressed it twice, "If you have a chance, come to Jian's house and chat with me. I'd like to see what other clever ideas you have."

"Yes." Zhu Jin agreed.

"Ayu, if you want, I can share my design share with you." A cold voice came from the crowd.

Song Mingyue, wearing a white cheongsam, slowly walked out of the crowd.

She raised her hand and gently held the hairpin that was a little crooked. Just a light application of powder on her well-maintained face was enough.

Wearing on her slender neck is the necklace that Zhu Jin originally designed. Under the illumination of the light, the gemstones of different colors do not have any clutter, but come together to form a harmonious beauty of bright colors.

"Oh my God, it's Mrs. Mingyue."

"So, does the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family win the favor of Mrs. Mingyue and Mrs. Jian?"

“That’s indeed the case so far.”

The crowd's comments became more and more undisguised.

Ji Siyan, who initially mocked, looked pale and ugly.

How could she, a woman from a small family, get so much favor and preferential treatment!

Ji Siyan's eyes suddenly fell on Huo Jingcheng, and her heart suddenly became clear.

It must be because of Huo Jingcheng.

These people must have been found by Huo Jingcheng!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to get so many people's praise and praise.

And these should originally be mine!

Ji Siyan's heart was wrapped in layers of jealousy and hatred, which almost made it difficult for her to breathe.

……

Zhu Jin noticed the hateful and extremely unfriendly gaze. She looked along, but there was nothing in that direction.

Could it be that I felt wrong?

Zhu Jin did not take this matter seriously, but smiled and said, "If Mrs. Jian likes it, you can tell me in advance when the time comes, and I will definitely make time to design it for you."

Mrs. Jian covered her lips and smiled without showing her teeth. She lightly poked Zhu Jin's forehead, her actions were particularly affectionate.

"You're a sweet girl. I'm going to trouble you next time, so don't dislike me."

"No way. But please don't blame me for my unsightly design."

"Xiao Jin, you can't favor one thing over another." Mrs. Song also interjected, "She has it, and I want it too."

Suddenly, Zhu Jin, who was originally ridiculed and despised by others, became the envy and jealousy of everyone.

Mr. Huo's expression was gentle, with a touch of elder kindness. He waved to Zhu Jin, "Xiao Jin, come here."
