Upon hearing his boasting, Ning Jiang felt a bit embarrassed.
She turned around and took out a carefully wrapped gift box from her bag.
She handed the box to Rolo and said kindly, "I wish you a happy birthday, Rolo."
Rolo didn't move.
Luo Hanshang was unhappy. He had thought that if she didn't give Ning Jiang any face, he would say something to her.
However, unexpectedly, Luo Luo Feng extended his hand and received the gift box.
He raised his eyebrows."You can open it now and take a look."
Luo Luo Luo carefully opened the box.
Inside were a picture book and a small pendant.
The pendant was a black glass pendant, like the night sky, but with a single pink star embedded inside. It looked very unique and beautiful.
Luo Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Ning Jiang. His eyes were a little red.
When she was young, she asked Ning Jiang, "Second Aunt, why do you think the stars are yellow, not pink?"
Ning Jiang said: "Because the stars will shine, it looks like yellow."
She said, "But I really want a pink star."
"Why do you want pink stars?"
"Because my mother loves pink the most. I hope that the pink stars will bring me luck like my mother."
At that time, Ning Jiang's heart was moved. She had always wanted to give Rolo a pink star.
This time, her wish had come true.
Grandma tilted her head and was slightly surprised."Jiang Er, did you make this yourself?"
"Yes, Grandmother, I haven't done it for a long time. I'm a bit unfamiliar with it. Isn't it a bit unsightly to do it? "
"Who said that? I feel that it's pretty good."
Rolo put down the pendant. She didn't say she liked it, nor did she say she didn't like it.
She opened the book again.
Inside was Ning Jiang's drawing of her memories with Rolo.
There were those who went golfing together, those who went out for picnics, and those who went swimming together.
There were also two people who were fishing together on a fake mountain, some were steaming fish in the kitchen, and some were even being scolded by the old man.
Ning Jiang stood below the stage, watching Rolo's performance.
In short, each painting was like a story that had just happened yesterday.
Luo Luo Luo almost cried as he watched.
She closed the book, put it in the box, closed the lid, lowered her head, and said nothing.
The silence at the table was awkward.
At this moment, Qinxin took out a small box from the storage box under the wheelchair and handed it to Rolo.
"Rolo, this is a gift from auntie. My hand isn't as coincidental as Miss Ning's, but I've chosen this gift with great care. I hope you'll like it."
Rolo took it and said in a lukewarm tone, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You can open it and take a look."
Rolo opened the gift box, revealing a pair of diamond hairpins.
She nodded again."Thank you."
Seeing Qinxin's present, such a big diamond shouldn't be too cheap, right?
Ning Jiang felt slightly guilty.
Compared to Qinxin, wasn't she a little too stingy herself?
After di er, Rolo went back to his room.
Ning Jiang thought her presence here might really affect Luo Luo's mood, so she said to Luo Hanshang, "I'm going to the construction site in the next few days, but I'm not too familiar with the new project yet. I need to go back and check the design blueprints."
Qiu Qinxin said with a hint of envy, "Miss Ning, you're amazing. You can draw, craft and design bridges. I think you're the most amazing woman I know."
Ning Jiang pursed her lips in embarrassment."Because I learned this. I don't know anything that you know. Look, you're really good at making pastries."
"Everyone can learn what I do, but we can't learn what you can."
Ning Jiang whispered, "I might not be a woman."
Qiu Qinxin looked at her and smiled, "Miss Ning, you sure are humorous."
Qiu Jianguo walked up and pushed her wheelchair forward, "I've already said hello to the Old Master and the Old Mistress. Let's go back."
"Sure, dad."
Qiu Jianguo smiled at Luo Hanshang and Ning Jiang, "Young Master, Young Madam, we'll head back first."
"Alright, you guys take care."
Ning Jiang also nodded and did not say a word.
He gave Ning Jiang a gentle look before pushing Qiu Qinxin's wheelchair away.
What exactly is going on with this Uncle Qiu?
Luo Hanshang said to Ning Jiang, "Aren't you going to greet Rolo?"
Ning Jiang waved her hand."Forget it. Don't make her unhappy."
"Then wait for me for a few minutes, I'll go up and talk to her."
Luo Hanshang went upstairs himself. He knocked on the door, "Rolo, it's Second Uncle. Open the door."
Luo Yuan walked over and opened the door, "Second Uncle, what can I do for you?"
Luo Hanshang walked into her room and saw Ning Jiang's painting on her desk.
Luo Yuan closed the book embarrassedly and said unhappily, "Second Uncle, I didn't ask you to come in."
He raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose: "I'm going to go back to Hanyi House with your second aunt, I came up to say happy birthday to you."
She said without any expression, "You guys should hurry up and leave, don't get in the way here."
Luo Hanshang didn't walk towards the door. Instead, he walked towards the table and picked up the picture book.
"Your second aunt knew that you were going to have a birthday. In order to give you this, she had to draw it until 11 o'clock every night. Do you still remember what happened in these paintings?"
Luo Luo Luo lowered his head, not saying a word.
Luo Hanshang said, "Whether you remember it or not, your second aunt does. Luo Luo Luo, you aren't a child anymore, you should know how to differentiate between good and bad, your second aunt didn't abandon you back then, she left, it was also to not make things difficult for me. People who don't like you won't remember what happened with you so clearly.
Your second aunt prepared a lot for your birthday. She didn't want to disappoint any of your classmates, so she wrote more than ten pages of notes. But you used your indifference, ruined your own birthday banquet, and wasted your second aunt's blood and sweat. Do you really think that you should go and hurt someone who truly cares about you? "
Luo Yuan lowered his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.
Luo Hanshang rubbed her head and said, "You should consider my words carefully. Second Uncle wishes you a happy birthday once again."
Luo Hanshang went downstairs and brought Ning Jiang back to Hanyi House.
Rolo walked over to the table, took the pendant out of the box, and held it in his hand.
She had only told her second aunt that she liked pink stars.
She sniffed and burst into tears.
The next day, even though it was a weekend, Luo Hanshang came back to the company because of a conference call.
Ning Jiang felt this was a good opportunity, so she went downstairs to see Chuchen.
When she passed by the front yard, she saw Qiu Jianguo walking over from the opposite side.
She pursed her lips and smiled at Qiu Jianguo. Just as she was about to greet him, Qiu Jianguo already treated her as air and walked past her.
She frowned, turned around and said to Qiu Jianguo, "Uncle Qiu, stand still."
