Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Qiao Shaorong suggested bringing gifts back to Ji Xincheng, Xiao Yi and others.

Ji Qinglan refused: "We understand your kindness, but as your brother-in-law, some things are not appropriate, so I won't bring them."

Qiao Shaorong thought about Brother-in-law Xiao's current status and knew that bringing things back would cause trouble, so he chose some small things for other people in the family.

Ji Qinglan bought a set of skin care products for Liu Yumei, some snacks and toys for Ji Xincheng and the four children, and some nourishing supplements for Grandpa Li.

The next day, Qiao Shaorong and Zhou Hanxuan sent Ji Qinglan back together.

Ji Qinglan had a fruitful visit this time. Zhou Hanxuan gave Ji Qinglan a set of her famous jewelry, which was very valuable and of great significance.

Qiao's mother also chose a gift for Ji Qinglan, which was a limited edition silk scarf from L's house.

As for Xiao Yi, Qiao Shaorong only bought him an ordinary white shirt. He wanted to buy a better one, but the conditions did not allow it.

Ji Qinglan treasured her jewelry and scarves in the system backpack and only put snacks and tonics in the bag.

Zhou Hanxuan and Qiao Shaorong walked back only after seeing Ji Qinglan entering the customs.

In the car, Qiao Shaorong took out a square wooden box, which was left by Ji Qinglan and was to be given to his future wife.

"My sister gave this to my future wife. Take it." Qiao Shaorong looked magnanimous.

Zhou Hanxuan blushed, but she took the wooden box without slowing down.

The wooden box is very exquisite, with dragon and phoenix carvings on it.

She opened the box carefully and gave a small exclamation when she saw what was inside.

Qiao Shaorong turned his head to take a look and was also surprised by what was inside.

Inside was a set of antique ruby ​​jewelry, including hairpins, hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc., a total of eighteen pieces.

Dazzling, beautiful and noble, Zhou Hanxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Qiao Shaorong said, "Look how good my sister is to you. The things she gave you are all antiques, which are rare treasures in the mainland."

Ji Qinglan came out of customs and saw Xiao Yi at a glance. She hurried to greet him. She called Xiao Yi last night and asked him not to pick her up, but she didn't expect that he still came.

After getting in the car, she said, "I already told you that I don't need to pick me up. I can go back by myself."

"It's okay for me to leave for a while. I'll go to work after I drop you off at home."

"Has Xin Cheng called me in the past few days?"

"I called and asked you when you would be back."

Xiao Yi said reluctantly, this kid has started to snatch people from him in just a few days.

Ji Qinglan also missed her son. This was the first time she left Ji Xincheng.

"He's grown up now and it's time for him to be independent." Xiao Yi said softly, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Ji Qinglan found Xiao Yi's jealous look funny. Ji Xincheng was only eight years old this year and just started primary school, but Xiao Yi wanted him to be independent.

Raising a son is not like planting a tree. You can’t just put it in the soil and leave it alone. Children need companionship and guidance.

Xiao Yi sent Ji Qinglan downstairs, told her to come back for lunch, and then hurried to work.

Ji Qinglan was carrying things upstairs when she met a woman coming downstairs. The two met in the corridor.

The woman was wearing a brown tweed coat, had fashionable curly hair, and was carrying an exquisite handbag.

She looked at Ji Qinglan for a long time and suddenly asked, "You are Secretary Xiao's wife."

Ji Qinglan nodded.

"Hello, Comrade Wang!"

The woman was very happy and took the initiative to extend her hand and introduce: "Hello, Madam Xiao! My name is Wang Jing, and my husband is Xu Shicheng from the Finance Office."

"Mrs. Xiao came here with Secretary Xiao. I didn't see you in the past two days, and I didn't visit you. I'm sorry."

"You're welcome. I just got back and I have something else to do at home. I'll go back first."

The woman quickly moved aside to make room for him. "Mrs. Xiao, please go first."

"Thank you!"

Ji Qinglan nodded and smiled at the woman before going upstairs.

She found that the vegetables she bought when she left were still in the refrigerator. It was obvious that Xiao Yi had been eating in the cafeteria these days.

If she went back, Xiao Yi might take charge of the cafeteria.

Ji Qinglan went downstairs to the vegetable market again, and found beef and prawns, so he bought two kilograms of each.

For lunch, there was stir-fried broccoli with shrimp and celery with shredded beef. When the dishes were served, Xiao Yi just opened the door and came in.

"It's time to eat." Ji Qinglan said with a smile.

While eating, Ji Qinglan did not mention meeting Xu Shicheng's lover Wang Jing.

He only mentioned what he saw and heard in Hong Kong, his stock purchases and the gifts he received.

Xiao Yi's eyebrows moved and he put the shrimp into his wife's bowl.

"You really bought stocks. I thought you were just learning for fun."

Ji Qinglan rolled his eyes at him, ate the shrimp, and fed him a piece of shredded beef.

"I study finance on my own every day, reading financial magazines and newspapers. Do you think I'm just playing around? It's time for me to check my results."

"Yes, my wife has worked hard. Eat more beef to grow your body and nourish your brain."

"You..." Ji Qinglan glared at him and put all the beef on the plate into his bowl.

"You use your brain every day, so you should nourish it more."

Xiao Yi looked at the food sticking out of the bowl and ate it all. It was all thanks to his wife's meticulous care.

He didn't think much about his wife buying stocks, he just thought she was playing around.

Xiao Yi only had an hour for lunch break, but before he had time to rest he was called away by a phone call.

Wang Jing, who was upstairs, heard the noise downstairs and waited for more than ten minutes before coming downstairs with a bag of apples.

When Ji Qinglan heard the knock on the door, she thought it was Xiao Yi again. After opening the door, she found that it was Xu Shicheng's lover whom she had met in the morning.

"Sister, I just bought some apples. They are still fresh. I will bring some to you to try."

Wang Qing handed the bag in her hands to Ji Qinglan with a smile on her face. Ji Qinglan felt like a sinner for not inviting people in.

"Sorry for the expense. Please come in and sit down."

"My sister's house is so big, so beautiful, and so clean. My sister is such a hardworking person." Wang Qing started praising as soon as she entered the house and couldn't stop talking.

Ji Qinglan brought tea, fruits and snacks, and she hurriedly thanked him.

"Sister, you are so polite. Please sit down and have a rest."

"We are really destined to be together. My husband works for Leader Xiao, and we live upstairs from you. We are neighbors upstairs and downstairs, and we are of similar age. I hope you and sister will take care of me in the future."

Ji Qinglan showed his signature smile and ignored the remark.

She never interferes in work matters, and Xiao Yi is also a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs and will not promote anyone just because of his close relationship with them.

"You drink tea."

Wang Qing did not stop because of Ji Qinglan's silence and continued to boast about her man Xu Shicheng.

"My husband is so devoted to his work that he treats the company like his home. I asked him to take care of his health, but he didn't listen."

"Well, Comrade Xu's work attitude deserves praise."

"That's great, my sister thinks so too."

Ji Qinglan: …

I'm just being polite, don't take it seriously.

"I don't understand work matters, and I don't dare to ask, or my husband will get angry."

Wang Qing: The image of handsome Comrade Xiao cursing at home came to my mind.

Ji Qinglan knelt down and begged for mercy.

It turns out that Leader Xiao is this kind of leader.
