“My aunt wants to see you, did you know?” Xu Ye suddenly asked.
Chi Jiao thought for a while. Xu Ye was referring to Quan Jue’s mother.
“Is something the matter?” Chi Jiao asked.
“I don’t know. The day before yesterday, Quan Jue came to my house and they argued. My father and aunt wanted to visit your house personally to thank your family for raising Quan Jue for so many years, but he forbade them,” Xu Ye said. “Don’t you think this fellow is so weird? Your family raised him for so many years. Isn’t it normal for our family to thank your family?”
“You don’t understand Brother Quan,” Chi Jiao said in a firm tone. “Please respect his decision.”
Hearing how protective she was of Quan Jue, Xu Ye couldn’t help glancing at her.
Seeing the girl puff up her cheeks in a huff, he had no choice but to smile apologetically. “Alright, alright, I’ll go back and tell them to respect Quan Jue’s decision!”
Although he said that, Xu Ye felt like his heart was stuffed with lemons.
Sour and a little unbearable.
While Xu Ye and Chi Jiao were talking, someone else was staring at them.
Zhou Sisi looked at the young man and young woman sitting by the window. Sunlight shone through the transparent glass onto them, giving them a hazy halo. They looked very pleasing to the eye.
Especially the gentle and adoring smile on Xu Ye’s face. It made Zhou Sisi’s heart beat faster and faster.
She took out the gift box from under her table and stood up decisively, walking towards Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao felt someone approaching her. She turned around and saw Zhou Sisi, who had come to her seat.
“Student Chi Jiao, thank you for helping me last time.” As Zhou Sisi spoke, she handed a small beautiful gift box to her. “This is a gift I chose for you. Please accept it.”
Chi Jiao looked at the gift box.
There were small diamonds on the black box. The logo on the box indicated that it was from the D brand.
She recognized this gift box. It was a limited edition perfume by the D brand.
This limited edition perfume was very expensive.
“This gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it,” Chi Jiao said bluntly.
The smile on Zhou Sisi’s face froze. “But I personally chose this to thank you… Is it because this gift is not to your liking?”
Chi Jiao looked at her meaningfully.
Auntie Zhou worked at her house and raised Zhou Sisi alone. It was already financially challenging for her to attend school here.
Zhou Sisi wasn’t working. Where did she get the money to buy such an expensive gift?
“That’s not what I mean. We’re classmates, and it’s only right that we help each other,” Chi Jiao said slowly. “You don’t have to give me such a valuable gift. You should keep it for yourself.”
Since Chi Jiao put it that way, Zhou Sisi couldn’t force her to accept her gift.
She tightened her grip on the exquisite gift box, her fingertips turning pale.
Zhou Sisi stared at Chi Jiao. Although she was wearing an ordinary school uniform, her aura was far superior to ordinary people. She felt inferior.
Perhaps it was because she looked down on people like her that she was unwilling to accept her gift?
With that thought in mind, Zhou Sisi retracted her hand without a word and turned around to leave.
She looked dejected as if she had been bullied..
