The straw bag beauty is on the rise

The shopping guide followed Li Man and the others conscientiously, and did not lose face just because they were looking at the cheapest jewelry in the store. Instead, they followed very attentively, ready to explain in real time.

At this time, Jiang Xia touched Li Man's arm, "Look?"

Li Man came back to her senses, followed Jiang Xia's gaze, and happened to see a tall girl with slightly curly hair in a brown woolen coat looking down at the counter next to her.

Li Man wanted to go to that counter, but due to insufficient funds, there was no place to go in the end.

Li Man asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia couldn't just call her to see beautiful women.

Jiang Xia rolled her eyes, leaned close to Li Man's ear and whispered, "I'll let you see that woman, that's Su Fuxia."

Li Man opened her eyes wide in surprise.

This time she looked at the past very seriously, seeing the other party from beginning to end.

Her hair is dyed dark blue, her skin is fair, she looks fashionable and beautiful, and her gestures reveal an elegant temperament.

Li Man couldn't help thinking about it, she looked different from a bumpkin like herself.

She ignored the discomfort in her heart, and then whispered to Jiang Xia: "Why did we meet here?"

Jiang Xia: "That's all for the famous stores in S City. No wonder she came here to pick up gifts. But this store should be the lowest among all the peers. You know, she probably won't buy it here."

Otherwise, there will be no bracelets priced at [-] yuan in the store.

Li Man felt offended.

But she didn't say anything, just nodded, "Oh, so."

The two looked at Su Fuxia and said something to the shopping guide with a smile, then turned and left.

When the other party turned their eyes, they happened to be looking at each other with Li Man, both of them were slightly stunned, showing a friendly smile to each other, and then looked away.

Li Man couldn't help but said: "Just looking at her appearance, I can't figure it out."

Jiang Xia: "What?"

Li Man: "It's just... that he will threaten Song Chuji like that."

Jiang Xia snorted, "There are still many things you can't think of, that's all, let's pick our presents, they probably go to a higher-end jewelry store."

Li Man didn't feel lost or compared, after all, she was very aware of her financial strength, so she quickly forgot about this episode.

In the next half month, City S underwent a cooling down, and the weather gradually transitioned to early winter.

In such a temperature, Song Chuji's birthday was also ushered in.

Because Li Man hadn't received any news before, she didn't know whether Song Chuji was celebrating her birthday at her own residence or returning to Mr. Song's place.

Li Man never thought that the other party would go to Song's house.

So when she came to work, she planned to give the gift to Song Chuji in advance.

Li Man pushed open the office door, took a deep breath, then walked over, put the exquisitely wrapped gift box on the table, pressed it with her fingers, and pushed it over.

Song Chuji noticed her movement, and first saw Li Man's white fingers pressing on the dark red velvet packaging box with his lowered eyes, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, "A gift?"

Li Man nodded.

Song Chuji asked: "Why did you send it off so early?"

Li Man touched the tip of her nose, "It's okay? It's not too early, after all, tomorrow is your birthday."

Song Chuji intertwined fingers, did not reach out to take the gift, but had a light smile on his lips, "Since this is the case, why are you in such a hurry to give me the gift today?"

She looked up at Li Man, "Tomorrow is also possible."

Li Man blinked.

In fact, she felt that Song Chuji should know the reason, but why did she ask herself now?

Li Man felt... Did Song Chuji do it on purpose? It was as if he was trying to be a good boy when he got a bargain.

But she quickly denied this idea, Song Chuji is not such a person.

Li Man pursed her lips and explained: "Because I might not be able to find you that day, or it might not be suitable for me to go there, so I will give you a gift in advance."

Li Man adjusted his mood, and said to Song Chuji relaxedly, "Happy birthday."

Song Chuji lowered his eyes.

Of course she knew what Li Man was referring to, so her emotions were actually not that pleasant.

Song Chuji didn't hide any more, and looked at Li Man: "I will celebrate my birthday at Song's house this year."

Li Man opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Huh?"

Song Chuji: "So, you can wait until tomorrow and hand it over to me."

Li Man couldn't answer the question for a while, so she could only repeat stupidly: "You, you are celebrating your birthday at the Song family? But you weren't..."

Song Chuji nodded, showing no intention of avoiding it, "It was because I didn't like it before."

Why not like it is self-evident.

Song Chuji: "But this year, I think I can."

She looked up at Li Man, with a soft smile in her eyes.

Li Man was stunned because of her gaze.

But soon, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Li Man knew that this should be a signal that Song Chuji had gradually accepted his offer of friendship and peace.

She couldn't help but curled the corners of her lips, with a smile on her face, "Is it really possible? Wouldn't it be forced?"

Seeing Li Man's smile, Song Chuji also bent his lips, "Well, seriously, voluntarily."

Li Man was happy now.

She took back the gift, "Then I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

Song Chuji laughed and nodded: "Okay."

Before returning to her office, Li Man turned her head and asked curiously: "Aren't you curious about the shape of the gift?"

Song Chuji was actually not curious, or rather, she was already prepared to like whatever was in it.

But seeing Li Man's enthusiastic inquiry, Song Chuji still nodded cooperatively: "There are a few."

On the contrary, Li Man was a little worried, "I think the appearance is very good-looking, but will it be too cheap..."

Song Chuji denied: "No, I value the value of the gift more than the price. And you also said that it is very beautiful. I believe in your aesthetics."

Inexplicably, Li Man was coaxed by the other party's words again.

So she smiled and nodded, "Then I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Song Chuji nodded.

Seeing Li Man's happy posture, Song Chuji lowered his eyes and laughed, but undoubtedly, his heart also eased a lot.

Because of Song Chuji's birthday, Li Man received a call from Chang Yanzhi when she was off work.

Although she didn't know what Chang Yanzhi was going to say, but thinking about it, it should be those meanings over and over again.

Li Man picked up the phone.

Chang Yanzhi asked directly: "Do you know that Song Chuji is going back to the Song family for his birthday this year?"

Li Man also just found out, but in order to avoid becoming a pond fish, Li Man pretended to be very surprised: "Ah? Really? It's like this?"

Chang Yanzhi was tricked by her.

"Isn't that right? I just heard Shang Yan say it today." Chang Yanzhi sounded a little angry, "You said she used to lose her temper and go out to celebrate her birthday by herself, why did she have to choose to go back to Song's house this year?"

While listening to the phone, Li Man scratched her ears uncomfortably, and said cautiously: "But... it's normal for her to go back to Song's house for her birthday, after all, it's her home."

Chang Yanzhi sneered, "Yeah, it's her home. Before that, she moved out without saying a word, and didn't even celebrate her birthday at Song's house. Why is she thinking about coming here?"

"Isn't it obvious that you want to rob the Song family from me?"

Li Man: ...

Chang Yanzhi: "Before, there was such a commotion that everyone in the circle thought it was me. My stepmother, who has not yet become a stepmother, used bad intentions to push Miss Song away. Who would have known that I was the one?" The real victim?"

"She, Song Chuji, insisted on moving away without saying a word, making me feel like I was persecuting her. Didn't I just move in with the Song family? What have I done to her?!"

Li Man knew that Chang Yanzhi was angry about this matter, and she naturally knew that it was better not to block her, so she cooperated with Chang Yanzhi's emotions and guided the other party to vent her temper, becoming a qualified emotional trash can.

Chang Yanzhi scolded for a full 5 minutes, but still couldn't let it out.

"What do you mean by her? Have you come back and are going to drive me out of the Song family?"

Li Man said cautiously: "She probably didn't mean that."

Li Man couldn't help feeling rejoicing at this time, fortunately she didn't reveal that she already knew about this matter.

Although Li Man only knew about it a few hours before Chang Yanzhi, if Chang Yanzhi heard of it, it would become a betrayal, and Li Man would not feel well.

Chang Yanzhi couldn't listen to Li Man's persuasion at all at the moment, she just felt that there would always be troublemakers trying to harm her.

Li Man had no choice but to comfort her softly.

Chang Yanzhi asked, "Are you coming?"

Li Man responded: "It should pass."

Chang Yanzhi thought of something, "That's right, I heard from your Uncle Song that you have had a good relationship with Song Chuji in the company recently. For this reason, your Uncle Song is very pleased."

Chang Yanzhi: "That's fine, you can come here, just in time, and bring a gift for Song Chuji too, you can choose whatever you want, in short, it's fine to give it to her tomorrow. After all, Shang Yan is still watching, so you have to live with face."

Li Man said "hmm".

Chang Yanzhi still thought that Li Man still didn't like Song Chuji, so she comforted her: "It's okay, don't take it too seriously, isn't it just a gift for your birthday, just pick any gadgets. When it's your birthday later, Mom will Let me do it for you."

Li Man hurriedly said: "It's okay, Mom, I know the seriousness, and I won't be unhappy, so don't worry."

Chang Yanzhi was quite pleased.

After the two chatted for a while, Li Man hung up the phone.

It seems that it's not just that Song Chuji has a bad impression of Chang Yanzhi, but also vice versa.

The two of them are now at a time when they hate each other, and Li Man needs to work on both sides.

On the second day, Li Man and Song Chuji went to Song's house together.

Because both of them came from the company, the clothes are still decent work clothes.

Li Man asked: "Don't you need to change your clothes?"

Song Chuji glanced down, "No need, it's just an ordinary birthday."

So Li Man didn't ask any more questions.

Although the birthday party this time was just a small banquet and not too many people came, some people did come after all, and they were all families who had good relations with the Song family.

In addition, Mr. Song also specially arrived.

Li Man thought, the other party probably came to support Song Chuji.

After entering Song's house, Li Man quietly ran away to find Chang Yanzhi when no one was paying attention.

Chang Yanzhi was wearing beautiful and decent clothes, and raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw Li Man, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Li Man said: "I just came back from the company and haven't changed it yet."

Chang Yanzhi: "Today is a banquet no matter what, how can you dress like this?"

This posture seems to be planning to change clothes for Li Man directly.

Li Man quickly explained: "I think this is very good, today is Song Chuji's birthday, it's not good for me to be too conspicuous, and Mr. Song is still here..."

Speaking of Mr. Song, Chang Yanzhi was also a little embarrassed, so she didn't say anything more.

Li Manduo mentioned: "And Song Chuji also wears similar clothes."

Chang Yanzhi snorted softly, not paying much attention.

Li Man saw the gift bag in her hand and asked, "Is this the gift you picked for Song Chuji?"

Chang Yanzhi raised her eyebrows, "How is she worthy of me taking the time to choose it myself?"

Li Man: ...Understood, it was chosen by someone else.

Chang Yanzhi asked, "How about you, have you prepared any gifts?"

Li Man nodded: "Ready, ready."

Chang Yanzhi: "Let me see what I have prepared."

So Li Man handed her the things in his hand.

When Chang Yanzhi opened it, her expression changed, "Is that why you plan to give this?"

Li Man realized that she had misunderstood.

After all, I haven't told Chang Yanzhi that Li Man doesn't plan to ask for pocket money anymore. At this moment, in Chang Yanzhi's heart, Li Man is still the little rich woman with spare money in her hand, and she will definitely not send out such a "level" gift.

Chang Yanzhi said earnestly: "Even if you don't like Song Chuji, you can't give this kind of gift on this occasion."

Li Man kept complaining, and quickly explained the reason of the matter.

After hearing this, Chang Yanzhi turned cold and scolded Li Man for being stupid.

"She told you that on purpose, just to set you up! You can kill one person, but you are so stupid, you actually believed it!"

Chang Yanzhi couldn't breathe smoothly, "You, you really want to piss me off, you."

Li Man was stunned, and then hurriedly patted Chang Yanzhi on the back, "Well, mom, calm down, I don't think Song Chuji meant that, she just said it very seriously at the time, and didn't mean to set up a trick, if you go Even you..."

Chang Yanzhi interrupted her: "I won't believe her nonsense even if I go! Li Man, how old are you, do you still believe in such things that lie to children?!"

Li Man felt a little confused and sad after being reprimanded by her, her lips moved.

"I……"

She didn't know what to say to Chang Yanzhi.

On the one hand, Li Man really felt that what Song Chuji said to her was sincere, that the other party treated her very well, that was the way he treated a friend, and that he really thought about her.

But on the other hand, Li Man was really afraid of the facts as Chang Yanzhi said.

After all, Li Man knew that she was stupid.

... But did she really not see through Song Chuji's intentions?

Li Man bit her lips in frustration.

Chang Yanzhi returned the gift box to Li Man, and then found new jewelry.

"Fortunately, I have never worn this jewelry before. Hurry up, put it in your box, and give this as a gift."

Li Man dawdled.

Chang Yanzhi: "Hurry up?!"

Then, without waiting for Li Man to make a move, she took it by herself first, and exchanged the beautiful but not so valuable bracelet with the expensive necklace.

Then, return the bracelet to Li Man.

"You can handle this yourself."

Holding the bracelet, Li Man felt inexplicably wronged.

Her nose is sour.

"mom……"
