Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Chosen Personally by Mr. Gu, Of Course It Looks GoodOld Madam Ji was both surprised and delighted: "Really? My grandson-in-law brought me a gift?" Ji Wei glanced at Gu Moqian. Gu Moqian strode over with his long legs and picked up the topmost gift box from the pile. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ji Shanshan had been sitting quietly by the sofa. When she saw Gu Moqian hand the gift box to Ji Wei, the malice in her eyes deepened further. Ji Wei, you’ll be humiliated in a moment! To think you’d give the old madam a shabby qipao—ha, this will be entertaining. Perhaps her resentful glare was too blatant, because when Ji Wei accepted the gift box, she couldn’t help but glance at Shanshan. Ji Shanshan immediately looked away, feigning distraction toward something else. Ji Wei sensed an unusual air. Normally, when it came to opening gifts, Ji Shanshan was the most eager, so why was she behaving so composed now? Her gaze lowered as she stared at the gift box for a few seconds, her expression subtly changing. One corner of the gift box was dented inward. Given how meticulous Gu Moqian was, how could he overlook such a detail? Ji Wei was convinced that someone had tampered with the gift box. Suddenly, she retracted the box she had been handing over, apologizing profusely: "I’m so sorry, Grandma, I was in such a rush when leaving that I brought the wrong gift for you." After speaking, she handed the gift box back to Gu Moqian and gave him a meaningful look. Gu Moqian, with his sharp intellect, immediately understood there was something suspicious. He accepted the box and set it aside. Old Madam Ji didn’t seem to mind much: "The thought matters more than the gift itself." "That particular gift represents Moqian’s heartfelt sentiment. I’ll make sure to bring it to you another day." Just as a dramatic scene seemed to be unfolding, it suddenly came to an abrupt halt, leaving Ji Shanshan secretly clenching her teeth in displeasure. "Sis, what’s in that box that you can’t give it to Grandma? Let me take a look—" Ji Shanshan reached out to grab it, but Ji Wei intercepted her, her gaze turning frosty as she said, "This is for Dad. You don’t need to know what’s inside. If you want a gift, go pick one from the pile yourself." A qipao for Uncle? Who’d believe that? Fuming with irritation, Ji Shanshan couldn’t openly point out that the qipao was meant for Old Madam Ji, so she stomped her foot in frustration. Her eyes flicked toward the pile of gift boxes, filled with disdain. Judging by the packaging, none of them looked particularly expensive. Nevertheless, she walked over, grabbed one casually, and tore it open in front of everyone. Inside the box was a silk scarf, stylish and unique in design. "This silk scarf was personally chosen by Moqian. Isn’t it lovely?" Ji Wei asked Ji Shanshan with a smile. As soon as she heard it was personally picked by Gu Moqian, Ji Shanshan’s mood instantly shifted. She examined the scarf repeatedly, unwilling to put it down. "If Mr. Gu personally chose it, of course it’s beautiful." Ji Shanshan was inwardly delighted. Ji Wei’s lips curled into a cold smile as she suddenly called out to the servant standing behind her: "These gift boxes are presents from Moqian for everyone. Each of you gets one—come take yours." The servants in the living room were stunned. My goodness, such a distinguished man as Mr. Gu actually brought them gifts! Snapping out of their daze, the servants hurried over eagerly to pick their boxes. Ji Shanshan curiously glanced at the servants’ gift boxes, and the joy on her face instantly vanished. The servants’ gifts were also silk scarves, but the colors were even prettier than the one she’d received. She, the esteemed second daughter of the Ji Family, receiving the same treatment as these lowly servants!
