The straw bag beauty is on the rise

Seeing Li Man's helpless and aggrieved look, Chang Yanzhi also softened her heart, and her tone was not as tough as before.

She packed Li Man's gift, and then sighed, "Manman, it's not that Mom scolded you on purpose, but because you are too young and naive."

"A person like Song Chuji, how can you easily trust her? She looks indifferent on the surface as if she never makes any tricks, but do you know what kind of person she is actually?"

"Mom didn't let you harm anyone, but just let you be a little careful and be able to protect yourself."

Chang Yanzhi spoke earnestly, and Li Man also understood that the other party did not harm her in this matter, it was just that Li Man couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

She wanted to say that Song Chuji was not a person who could conspire, but she was afraid that she would be scolded by Chang Yanzhi again when she said this sentence, so she swallowed it back.

Chang Yanzhi asked again worriedly: "Did you understand?"

Li Man nodded sullenly.

Chang Yanzhi reached out and rubbed her head, then led Li Man out.

The atmosphere outside has become lively, and Song Shangyan has also returned to the Song family.At this moment, he was pulling Song Chuji along with Mr. Song, greeting the others.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that other people approached Song Shangyan to say hello.

The atmosphere of the three of them seemed harmonious, as if there was no room for others to intervene.

Li Man watched from the side, feeling that she and Chang Yanzhi were in an awkward position.

Today is Song Chuji's birthday, Li Man thought, in fact, he shouldn't bother Song Chuji too much today...

In all fairness, if it was the former Li Man, she naturally didn't want to see Song Chuji on her birthday, and she was in a bad mood for no reason.

But when Li Man was thinking wildly, Chang Yanzhi had already led Li Man over.

It would be even more ugly to turn around and leave at this time, so Li Man had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Chang Yanzhi.

Chang Yanzhi smiled coquettishly: "Shang Yan, why don't you call me when you go downstairs."

Song Shangyan smiled, "I know you will come down soon."

Chang Yanzhi did not continue to ask, but took out the gift she had prepared, smiling kindly, really like a kind and gentle stepmother elder.

"This is my gift to Chuji."

Song Shangyan nodded, "You have a heart."

Song Chuji glanced down, without showing too much emotion, and there was even a little indifference in his eyes.

After a while, she reached out to take the gift, and then handed it to the housekeeper who stood aside to help store the gift.

Chang Yanzhi narrowed her eyes, "Won't Chuji open it and have a look? After all, I have exhausted my mind to choose this gift."

Song Chuji didn't answer her fault, but said in a low voice: "It's not too late to look back."

Chang Yanzhi couldn't say anything.

In fact, Song Chuji didn't care at all about what Chang Yanzhi sent, even if the other party gave him rotten iron, Song Chuji couldn't get rid of Song Chuji's concern at all.

Her eyes moved to Li Man who was following Chang Yanzhi, and the brows moved slightly.

Li Man's mood looked very bad.

This is the first situation Song Chuji observed.

She secretly guessed in her heart, what happened?Still, because of such an occasion, I feel uncomfortable.

Chang Yanzhi saw Song Chuji's gaze shifted over, and quickly pulled Li Man's arm, "Manman also prepared a gift, I took a peek at it, it's very beautiful."

After listening to Chang Yanzhi's words, Song Shangyan smiled even deeper, and asked Li Man, "What did Manman give you?"

Li Man was inexplicably afraid to look up at Song Chuji.

The gift that Chang Yanzhi chose was of course a good one, and she couldn't find any faults. It was precious, exquisite, and worthy of Song Chuji's status.

but……

Song Chuji was well aware of Li Man's financial situation.

And before that, Li Man had vaccinated Song Chuji several times, saying that her gift might be cheap, but it was more beautiful, I hope Song Chuji would not mind.

As expected, Song Chuji didn't mind, and even comforted Li Man.

But now...

As soon as this gift was opened, Song Chuji would immediately understand that it was definitely not Li Man's choice.

Even she could guess that this so-called gift was just picked out by Chang Yanzhi at random, perfunctory and not at all what she wanted.

Li Man was afraid to face Song Chuji at this moment.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she bit her lip slightly, comforting herself in her heart.

It's nothing, maybe Song Chuji won't open it now, after the banquet is over, she will find a way to explain it.

So Li Man took out her gift.

With a soft warm light in Song Chuji's eyes, he stretched out his hand to take it.

She looked down, and it was indeed the familiar red velvet jewelry box from yesterday.

Song Chuji wrapped the ribbon around his fingertips, and then gently untied it.

Seeing her movements, Li Man opened her eyes slightly, "Song Chuji..."

She was very helpless and yelled in a low voice.

Not many people heard this sound, but Song Chuji heard it very clearly.

She paused, raised her eyes to look at Li Man.

Song Chuji caught a glimpse of Li Man's expression, thinking that the other party was worried that the gift was not expensive and would make people laugh, Song Chuji slightly bent his lips, and said to Li Man: "It doesn't matter, no matter what you give, I will like it very much."

This is what she said before, and it is also a guarantee, and it is also valid now.

Chang Yanzhi heard Song Chuji's words, and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

When... did Song Chuji have such a good look towards Li Man?

It's not that Chang Rouge has masochistic preferences, but this is indeed a surprising change.

Could it be that something happened when the two of them worked together?

Chang Yanzhi is going to interrogate Li Man later.

Seeing this, Li Man bit her lip and lowered her pupils.

She knew she couldn't stop it.

Song Chuji opened the jewelry box, and looked at the gifts inside with some anticipation and joy.

But when she saw the dazzling gemstone necklace, she was slightly taken aback.

Song Shangyan saw it, and praised: "Well, this looks very good, Manman, it's rare that you are willing to spend your money."

Song Shangyan's tone was teasing, but he was also happy that the two could get along well.

Hearing this, Li Man felt even more ashamed.

Chang Yanzhi smiled and said: "Yes, Manman is very sincere, but I also helped Manman to see a lot, the two of us were dazzled by the choices, so we chose this style. Sure enough, it suits Chuji very well. .”

The fart was dazzled, Chang Yanzhi didn't even look at it, she just set a price and asked people to bring the new product directly.

She thought so in her heart, but the smile on her face didn't change.

Elder Song next to him raised his eyelids and didn't bother to say anything.

Song Shangyan: "Chuji? Why don't you talk, do you not like this gift?"

Song Chuji's fingers holding the jewel necklace were slightly tight.

Although the Song family is not engaged in jewelry-related businesses, it does not mean that Song Chuji knows nothing about these jewelry.

At least she can still see that this gemstone necklace is priceless, and it is not something that Li Man can buy now.

Song Chuji thought of what Li Man said before, there is no doubt that the gift Li Man originally prepared for her was not this, and the other party changed the gift today for some unknown reason.

Although the one in front of him is precious, it is not the one that Li Man personally selected.

Song Chuji pursed the corners of his lips, and the originally warm and soft emotion in his eyes slowly fell, like the breeze blowing off the leaves, revealing the original empty emotion.

She couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in at the moment.

Song Chuji maintained his superficial emotions and did not embarrass Li Man.

She put away the necklace, as usual.

"very beautiful."

But she didn't say she liked it.

This episode passed quickly, and after that, Li Man found a corner where no one was paying attention, and Song Chuji followed Song's father, acting as her central figure.

Li Man looked at her through the crowd, and seemed to be able to detect Song Chuji's subtle and unhappy emotions.

Of course, Li Man didn't think it was her fault, but she felt that she should give Song Chuji an explanation for today's incident.

The bracelet she had originally chosen was still in her pocket.

Li Man sighed slightly, reached in and touched it.

She thought to herself, the price is different, and the touch is also different?

At this time, another person arrived one after another.

Li Man looked up and saw Su Fuxia at a glance.

The other party was wearing a small dress, with a furry waistcoat on his upper body, his hair was coiled up, and he was wearing jewelry on his hairpin.

Li Man watched the other party walk towards Song Chuji.

Because the distance was too far, Li Man couldn't hear what they were saying.

But even so, Li Man still did not look away.

Song Chuji met Su Fuxia.

The other party looked the same as before, and so did Song Chuji.

In the past, she would not feel fluctuated in her heart because of Su Fuxia, and it is the same now.

Su Fuxia smiled, "Chuji, I wish you a happy birthday."

Song Chuji nodded.

Su Fuxia gave her the gift, "I carefully selected this, and I hope you like it."

Song Chuji showed polite etiquette, but he didn't bother to open the present and take a look.

Seeing that the gift was about to be taken away for storage, Su Fuxia called out to Song Chuji.

She bit her lip slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Chuji, don't you just take a look at my gift?"

Song Chuji glanced at the other party coldly, but since this is a public place and Su's father is here, she didn't want to make it too obvious.

So Song Chuji opened the box and took a look.

Inside was a bracelet.

This bracelet reminded her of the gift Li Man mentioned earlier.

Song Chuji's eyes fluctuated for a moment.

Su Fuxia noticed Song Chuji's emotional change, so she took a step closer and asked expectantly, "Do you still like this gift?"

Song Chuji didn't answer, but just put it back on.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to wear it, Su Fuxia couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But she quickly pulled herself together.

Because Su Fuxia knew Song Chuji well, it was normal for the other party not to wear it.And since Song Chuji was willing to open it, and there were such mood swings just now, it meant that she didn't care about it.

This is progress.

This banquet has nothing to do with Li Man, she can leave in the second half.

But Li Man just returned to his room, and did not drive away for a long time.

She looked at the back garden full of lights through the window, lowered her eyes slightly, and took out the bracelet to have a look.

Since it was a gift for Song Chuji, of course she wanted to give it to Song Chuji.

If Song Chuji was so angry that he didn't want it...

Li Man didn't continue to think about it.

Soon, the birthday party came to an end.

Li Man wasn't sure whether Song Chuji wanted to stay at the Song family or go back to her own mansion, so she paid close attention to the following situation.

After an unknown amount of time, as the crowd left, Li Man finally saw Song Chuji's figure in the courtyard.

Li Man immediately ran downstairs.

Song Chuji hadn't left yet, she seemed to be sobering up.

Li Man blinked and approached.

"You... have you been drinking?"

If he was drinking, he should have stayed at the Song family?

Hearing Li Man's voice, Song Chuji raised his eyes and looked over.

Under the reflection of the dim light, it appeared that her pupils were slack, and there was a slight soft watery light in her eyes.

This made Song Chuji's image very different from usual.

The extreme contrast made the other party's already beautiful face, but because of the indifference in the past, appear a little distanced and sharp, even more beautiful.

It's like adding a filter.

Li Man walked over slowly.

"Are you drunk, are you going to live in Song's house today?"

Song Chuji didn't answer her question, she just asked Li Man: "Why did you change the gift temporarily?"

Li Man knew that she would accept "interrogation" sooner or later, so she was not overly surprised or panicked.

She lowered her eyes and told a little lie: "Because of today's occasion, I'm afraid that if I give the gift before, I will, I will be a little embarrassed."

Li Man did not confess Chang Yanzhi.

Although she is stupid, fortunately she has an intuition.

Li Man knew that if she told about Chang Yanzhi today, then Song Chuji's impression of Chang Yanzhi might be lowered again.

And the goodwill she had painstakingly created before may also be discounted.

So Li Man fabricated a white lie.

When Song Chuji heard the words, the original mind in his heart dissipated.

She also guessed the reason, but guessing it herself was one thing, but hearing Li Man's explanation with her own ears was another.

Song Chuji lowered his eyes and exhaled lightly.

"But I said that I don't care about these things. I like whatever you give."

The other party's words were very sincere, which made Li Man's ears reddened, and made her feel even more ashamed.

Li Man carefully explained: "But, but today's occasion is different, I'm really a little scared."

Song Chuji also didn't know what to say.

After a while, she bent her lips helplessly, "Why are you so timid."

Li Man is like a little white rabbit strayed into the depths of the forest, trembling, pure and weak.

Song Chuji pressed his temples, then reached out his hand.

Li Man blinked.

Song Chuji said: "Where's the bracelet?"

Li Man reached into her pocket subconsciously, "You, do you still want to?"

"Of course." Song Chuji looked at her with dark eyes, "I don't admit that the necklace is a gift from you."

After a pause, Song Chuji briefly looked away, "I only accept gifts you personally choose."

Li Man slightly opened her eyes wide, and was slowly startled.

"Oh……"

She handed the bracelet to Song Chuji as if in a daze.

Song Chuji picked it up and looked at it by the light.

A bracelet priced at [-] yuan is not much cheaper, but compared to the gemstone necklace just now, it is indeed much worse.

But this didn't stop Song Chuji from liking her.

Song Chuji directly put it on his wrist.

"I love so much."

She looked at Li Man and smiled slowly.

Only then did Li Man feel relieved, as if warm wind was blowing.

Li Man bent her lips: "Well, as long as you like it."
