Gu Tianqing was more quick-witted and said hurriedly from the side: "Brother, did you get the wrong hairpin? Didn't I ask you to buy this hairpin for Zhang Ma? Zhang Ma was still talking about it this morning, lest you forget, brother."
He took the hairpin and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, then took out another gold hairpin: "Brother, this is the gift you gave to sister Jiu'er. You gave it to me before and asked me to deliver it on my behalf. Brother has a lot of things to do, so he forgot about it, but fortunately, my little sister still remembers it."
As he spoke, he walked up to Gu Xijiu and handed the golden hairpin in his hand to Gu Xijiu: "Jiu'er, this is the gift my second brother bought for you. Do you think it's suitable to wear it?"
A few words resolved the embarrassment.
Gu Tianchao looked at his sister gratefully, and then at Gu Xijiu, who was standing there with her arms folded and saying nothing.
Gu Xijiu finally glanced at him. This glance had a touch of coldness, which actually made Gu Tianchao, who always had his eyes high above his head, feel inexplicably trembled in his heart!
The other party is obviously still a child, but his eyes are extremely sharp, as if he can see through him completely with one glance, making the 'little' hidden under his gorgeous appearance invisible.
For a moment, he thought that Gu Xijiu would have the guts not to accept the golden hairpin and embarrass him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xijiu smiled and took the golden hairpin: "Thank you very much. It's rare that the second young master thinks of me every time."
Gu Tianchao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask her to put on the hairpin for a look, but Gu Xijiu slowly spoke again: "Xijiu always keeps the second young master's gifts with great care, so I put them all away." Okay, this hairpin is so precious, Xijiu can’t bear to wear it, so she’d better put it with those gifts.” He told the maid beside him: “Go to my room and take out the little red box on the bedside table.”
The maid agreed and went.
Gu Tianchao's expression changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "Jiu'er, you will wear the hairpin as soon as you buy it. There is no need to keep it..."
Before a word was spoken, the nimble maid came out with the red box in her arms.
Gu Xijiu opened the box and revealed the contents inside.
A wooden hairpin, a small sachet with a single color that no one would want to wear, a velvet flower, and a stone with a slightly special appearance...
Everything is arranged neatly and wrapped in soft cloth. You can see how much the original owner treasured these things.
The things Gu Tianchao gave to Gu Xijiu were all bought on the street, and sometimes he even picked them up on the roadside. He didn't care at all, and naturally he couldn't remember what he gave as a gift back then.
It’s only now that I’ve seen it that I have a vague impression—
Seeing these things being placed so preciously at this moment, he was moved in his heart and his face felt a little hot!
Gu Xietian naturally saw these things, and his heart was filled with disgust!
He has really ignored this child for too long! How much lack of love does this child have to think of these rags as treasures? !
He always thought that his son was very kind to Xijiu, but it turned out that this bastard also treated the child as a beggar...
He was ashamed and angry, and gave Gu Tianchao a cold look. He picked up the box and shook it. In the faint golden light, the wooden box and its contents were shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Jiu'er, you are my daughter, Gu Xietian, and you deserve the best. Daddy has something better for you. Let's go to the study room with daddy!" She pulled Gu Xijiu away and left.
Everyone: "..."
