"Take it as a gift from your aunt. After you learn how to carve jade, wouldn't it be more meaningful to do it yourself?"

Qin Xiufang stopped her, and the two of them pushed back and forth for several rounds before Qin Xiufang noticed the second elder of the Xu family.

She hurriedly returned Gu Chenxi's card back to Chenxi's hand, and immediately changed the subject to look at the elders of Xu's family: "Old Xu, madam, long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see, Miss Qin! How is your mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and looked at Qin Xiufang. They knew each other before, and they haven't seen each other since they haven't been to the capital for a few years.Speaking of which, she still misses Mrs. Li a little bit.

"My mother-in-law is in good health. If you have time, madam, please come and have a look at the house. It just so happens that my mother-in-law misses Xixi too!"

"Then it's better to wait, it's still early anyway."

"Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time. I walked around the jade shop a few days ago and found a jade pendant that suits you very well. Feel it."

"Rongrong has a heart, grandma doesn't need this, so she won't have to spend money in the future."

"You are my grandmother, how can you spend money, this is what I should do."

Gu Chenxi followed the Xu family's elder into the Li family's villa, and before entering the living room, she heard voices coming from the room.She was very familiar with Gu Rongrong's voice, but now she heard it, and found it particularly ironic.

She was silent, Qin Xiufang looked back at her subconsciously, and sighed when she saw her bowing her head.What happened at the banquet where Gu Rongrong recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan that day, none of them knew, but Qin Xiufang believed that Gu Chenxi would definitely not be the wrong party.

The two elders of the Xu family naturally also found that Gu Chenxi's mood was a little bit wrong. Madam Xu took the initiative to hold Gu Chenxi's hand, and explained very understandingly: "Grandma is a little uncomfortable, can Xixi help grandma?"

"Is grandma unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

She cared more about Mrs. Xu's health than meeting Gu Rongrong at Li's house.Mrs. Xu's health is not good, and she is not used to the temperature here in the capital. What should she do if she gets sick?

"Grandma is fine, just take a rest."

"Then I'll help grandma to sit in the living room."

Mrs. Xu was supported by her, and seeing her frowning anxiously, she slowly raised the corners of her mouth.She likes the child Gu Chenxi. This child is gentle and kind. Even if he is treated maliciously by this world, he still maintains a pure heart.This is what makes her worthy of being treated tenderly by this world.

When everyone walked into the living room, Mrs. Li heard footsteps and hurriedly turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

"Is Xixi here?"

"Grandma, it's me."

"Hey, grandma knew it was Xixi coming, and heard your footsteps from afar. Come to grandma soon, I miss you even if I haven't seen grandma for several days!"

Mrs. Li did not go to pick up the jade pendant that Gu Rongrong handed over, she looked in Gu Chenxi's direction, patted the vacant place beside her, and was so excited that her dull eyes seemed to be shining.

Gu Chenxi supported Mrs. Xu towards her, and Qin Xiufang who was beside them hurriedly said, "Mom, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu are here to see you!"

"Who?" Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, thinking she had heard wrong.

"Old sister, it's me, Jing Yun!"

"Jing Yun, it's Jing Yun! We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's been a long time!"

Mrs. Li's excited eyes were slightly red, and her raised hands were trembling.She and Mrs. Xu knew each other when they were young, and the two gentlemen became the best handkerchief lovers after the first meeting. When she gave birth to Xiaoman, Mrs. Xu came to see her and took the initiative to do it. Xiaoman's godmother.

"It's not been a long time, it's been too long."

Mrs. Xu sighed, since Li Xiaoman was gone, Mrs. Li's health has been deteriorating, and she didn't even attend the banquet.When she came to the capital three years ago, she originally wanted to visit Li's house, but she didn't expect to have a car accident on the way, so she just let it go.

The eyes of the two old ladies were red, and they were old and not in good health. Qin Xiufang was worried that they would be too excited, so she interrupted them: "Mom, madam. Rongrong is here, madam must be here." Didn't know that was a good thing."

"What's a good thing?" Mrs. Xu looked at Qin Xiufang, who smiled and gestured to Gu Rongrong who was beside her.

"Rongrong is Xiaoman's daughter. We have been looking for her for nearly 20 years, and we found it!"

"Xiaoman's... daughter?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Rongrong who was sitting on the other side of the old lady with surprise on her face. She couldn't believe that this girl was Xiaoman's daughter.There is nothing like Xiaoman in her, which Mrs. Xu doesn't want to believe.

Gu Rongrong smiled and looked at Mrs. Xu, nodded slightly with a gentle look.No matter how she pretended, Mrs. Xu could still see the panic in her eyes at a glance.

She didn't like this girl, she didn't like it from the bottom of her heart, although she didn't know why.But for the face of the Li family, she still smiled and nodded to Gu Rongrong: "It's good to be back."

The alienated attitude was felt by most people in the living room.Especially Gu Chenxi and Mrs. Li who know her better.The atmosphere in the living room fell into embarrassment again. Mr. Xu, who was sitting not far away, was drinking tea quietly, looking at Gu Rongrong, full of scrutiny.

Gu Rongrong was very uncomfortable being watched by such oppressive eyes.She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only sit awkwardly with a smile on her face.

Qin Xiufang immediately stood up to smooth things over. Seeing the jade pendant in Gu Rongrong's hand, she hurriedly said, "Hey, Rongrong bought this for grandma, right? This design is quite novel, really good!"

"Auntie, take a look. I think grandma will like it, so I bought it."

Gu Rongrong smiled and handed the jade pendant to Qin Xiufang. Qin Xiufang, who didn't look carefully at the jade pendant just now, boasted that she looked good. When the jade pendant was placed in her hand, she froze for a moment and looked up at Gu Chenxi.

"Did Rongrong buy it at the jade shop on the [-]th floor of the commercial street?"

"How does Auntie know? That jade store is really good, and the jewelry they sell is very novel, I like it very much when I see it."

Finally able to find a topic, Gu Rongrong hurriedly started chatting with Qin Xiufang.As soon as she said a word, Mr. Xu took the conversation away.

"The jade shop on the thirteenth floor? She's talking about your Li family's own jade shop, right?"

"Ah, yes, that's right."

Qin Xiufang was very embarrassed, what happened to her today, how did she find a topic that was just a topic of thunder.Holding the jade pendant, she felt as if she was holding a piece of hot potato in her hand, and she was entangled endlessly.

Gu Rongrong also felt very embarrassed, looked at Mrs. Li, and made a sad look: "I didn't even know it was Li's shop, so grandma must have seen this jade pendant before."

With her appearance, Mrs. Li will definitely comfort her, and there will be nothing embarrassing at that time.She thought well, and Mrs. Li also took the jade pendant from Qin Xiufang's hand as she thought, and touched it.

Gu Rongrong smiled, and when she was waiting for Mrs. Li to praise her, the old lady turned her head and looked at Gu Chenxi: "Is this Xixi's design? I remember it was the one your aunt brought over to show me a few days ago, the style It's very novel, even Rongrong likes it, and I believe more people will like it."

The old lady smiled happily, but Gu Rongrong, who was sitting by the side, had her eyes darkened. Gu Chenxi was always there for everything. She just bought a jade pendant, which was designed by Gu Chenxi.

But the matter has come to this point, she can only force a smile: "Yes, Xixi's design is awesome."

Gu Chenxi nodded slightly, but did not answer her words.She just turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "I think I will carve a jade pendant for my grandma after learning jade carving from my aunt!"

"Hey, what kind of jade carving do you want to learn? The work is tiring and exhausting. Let's stop learning. Grandma loves us Xixi!"

"Grandma, I want to learn!"

Mrs. Li couldn't help feeling sorry for her coquettish appearance, so she naturally ignored Gu Rongrong.

There are so many people in the living room of the Li family, but Gu Rongrong feels that she is the one who is isolated, no one cares about her existence, and everyone is praising Gu Chenxi, as if they already know that Gu Chenxi is the foreign lady of the Li family Same.

Panicked, she quickly grabbed Mrs. Li's wrist, and only after she pulled did she realize how abrupt her movements were.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I just want to ask grandma, can I also learn jade carving from my aunt?"

"Does Rongrong want to learn too? Then you have to learn from the beginning."

Qin Xiufang didn't refuse. After all, Gu Rongrong was the maid of the Li family. Even if the old lady was not close to her, she was Xiaoman's daughter, and the Li family would not treat her badly.

"Rongrong wants to learn, so let's go with Xixi another day. I'll take you to the studio. Rongrong will learn drawing and design first, and Xixi will learn sculpture from a master jade carver."

"Thank you auntie!"

Gu Rongrong immediately agreed. She must not miss this good opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she must suppress Gu Chenxi, and she must not let Gu Chenxi threaten her status.

Mrs. Li frowned, but did not express her inner disapproval.In her opinion, children without talent are not suitable for learning jade carving, but since Qin Xiufang had already agreed, she did not refute it.

Such an atmosphere is not suitable for Gu Rongrong to be here, she said goodbye to Mrs. Li very quickly, and left Li's house very quickly.After she left, the atmosphere in the Li family quickly improved, as if the only stranger among acquaintances left and everyone relaxed.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu chatted about the family affairs, and Mrs. Xu played chess with Patriarch Li, leaving Gu Chenxi to follow Qin Xiufang and go to the kitchen to help.

The two old sisters, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were chatting about homework. Mrs. Li mentioned Gu Rongrong's return to the Bai family, and sighed: "The child has been wandering outside for nearly 20 years, and it is not easy. But I just can't feel sorry She, I can't tell what it feels like. Jing Yun, give me some advice!"
