Chapter 295: Big red packet

Chi Jianming was still worried, so he told li Lijuan again,”

“It’s not easy for everyone to get together for a meal. Let’s see how many gifts and red packets I can get on my birthday. I don’t want you to ruin this good thing!”

“I know, I know. Don’t be so long-winded anymore. Go and look after your rich daughter!”

Li Lijuan’s slightly sarcastic words made Chi Jianming angry, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He pouted, but didn’t dare to say anything. He frowned, shook his head, and walked out.

It was true. The young lady was rich, and her husband was the president of li Corporation. He was also rich and powerful. If it wasn’t for this old woman’s love for acting and offending them, her life would have been much better.

It was excusable that Chi Luoxi had said that President li was very busy and was on a business trip.

It didn’t matter if he made it or not. Chi Jianming thought that such an important figure would probably ask Chi Luoxi to prepare a big red packet for his father-in-law’s birthday.

Thinking of this, Chi Jianming’s attitude became even more enthusiastic.”

“Come and sit down. It’s time to eat. Yue Xi, sit here.”

Lin Zixuan took out a bottle of Maotai from Guizhou and said in a tone that obviously showed off,”

“Dad, today is your birthday. I brought some good wine. This bottle of Maotai has been in my family’s collection for more than ten years.”

Chi Jianming’s face bloomed with joy when he heard this. He took the wine and looked at it. From the packaging to the color of the bottle paper, it was indeed a good collection.

“Not bad, not bad, you’re thoughtful! I’m happy tonight. Let’s open this bottle of wine and drink it!”

......

Li Lijuan knew that this Maotai wine was very expensive. Women didn’t know how to drink it, so she might as well not drink it. If she drank some red wine, it would only cost a few dozen Yuan.

“I say, if you men drink white wine, do we women drink it? If you want to drink, just open a bottle of red wine. There’s some at home. ”

Chi leixi remained silent. They were either polite or excited, and it seemed like they were all acting.

Chi Jiaojiao immediately stood up and said happily:

“It’s dad’s birthday, so it’s better for everyone to drink. Don’t you think so, sis? Wait for me to drive!”

Chi leixi could only smile and watch them perform. She only wanted to quickly finish this meal and cake-cutting ceremony so that she could go back earlier.

At the table, Chi Jianming drank a few glasses of wine and got excited. He complimented his two daughters and son-in-law.

No matter what, he was a rich and powerful person. His two daughters were blessed and lived a good life.

Son-in-law Lin Zixuan kept on toasting and nodding in agreement to the old man’s topic.

After dinner, li Lijuan cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen and served the fruits. They talked about some irrelevant topics.

Li Lijuan couldn’t sit still any longer. She kept winking at Chi Jianming and pointing at Chi Luoxi from an unnoticeable position.

Chi Luoxi had already eaten and said ‘Happy Birthday’, but why hadn’t she given the red packet to his father?

Did he forget? Why didn’t he know how to do such a big thing? Didn’t it look good when she gave it to him during dinner?

Chi Jianming only cared about talking and didn’t pay attention to li Lijuan at all.

Li Lijuan was really anxious. If she waited a little longer, her birthday would be over after the cake was cut. If she didn’t give him a red packet, she wouldn’t have the chance anymore!

However, li Lijuan didn’t dare to say much. After all, she wasn’t her biological daughter.

Li Lijuan couldn’t wait any longer, so she stopped Chi Jianming’s long-winded conversation and directly pulled him to the kitchen.

“What are you doing? It’s my birthday today. Do you want me to wash the dishes in front of the child?”

Chi Jianming’s eyes widened, and he frowned as he argued with li Lijuan in a low voice.

Li Lijuan hit Chi Jianming’s shoulder hard, trying to wake him up.

“You’re really stupid! Who needs you to wash the dishes? you don’t have to wash them tonight, you can wash them tomorrow! I’m talking about something more important, the red packet has not been confiscated!”

Only then did Chi Jianming remember. He was stunned for a moment. Yes, he hadn’t done the proper business yet!

He wanted to rush out when li Lijuan stopped him.

“The cake hasn’t been cut yet. Even if your birthday isn’t over, don’t be impulsive and ask her directly. You have to be careful with the way you speak. It’s good enough that you’ve achieved your goal. I’m still hoping that she will give you more in the future. Don’t cause a scene again!”

“I know, I know!”

When Chi Jianming went out again, he was already half sober.

He remembered that he had brought a cake and a fruit basket with him when Chi Luoxi entered the house.

He hadn’t given her the red packet yet. Was he going to give it to her when he wanted to cut the cake?

Chi Jianming saw that Chi Luoxi was calm and composed throughout the entire dinner. She was neither servile nor overbearing, and he couldn’t tell what she was feeling.

This was even more difficult to figure out.

Chi Jianming sat back at the dining table and laughed,”

“I’m very happy tonight. My two daughters have grown up. They’re here to celebrate my father’s birthday. They gave me gifts and red packets. I didn’t dote on you for nothing. I didn’t raise you for nothing!”

Of course, Chi Jiaojiao understood her father’s meaning. She poured a glass of water for her father and said with a pretentious smile,”

“Dad, you’re too polite. This is what we should do. Come and have a cup of tea.”

Chi Jianming saw that Chi yaoxi still didn’t say a word. This child hadn’t spoken much throughout dinner, not even a Happy Birthday.

Since that was the case, he could only take the initiative to ask. The old woman said that he had to pay attention to the method. If he couldn’t ask for it directly, he would have to use another method.

“Luoxi, do you want big brother to call President Li, Li Qianqian? see if he’s back and done with his work. Do you want to come over and eat cake?”

“No need, he’s very busy, he doesn’t have time to come.”

Chi luexi said without hesitation.

Li Lijuan couldn’t sit still when she saw that Chi Luoxi still didn’t move.

She gave Chi Jiaojiao a look and Chi Jiaojiao understood her mother’s meaning. She followed her and the two of them came to the room.

Li Lijuan took out a wrapped red packet. It was very thick inside and looked like there was at least a few thousand Yuan inside. She handed it to Chi Jiaojiao and said,

“Jiaojiao, I know that your family is in a difficult situation now and I don’t intend to accept this. How about this, when you go out later, pass this big red packet to me in front of your sister Chi Luoxi. Just take it as a token of appreciation from you and Lin Zixuan.”

Chi Jiaojiao wasn’t embarrassed at all. She took the red packet directly and put it in her pocket. She smiled and said,”

“I know, I know. My mom is really smart. I was wondering why Chi luexi was so petty. She’s a rich person, but she didn’t even give her father a big red packet on his birthday.”

Chi Jiaojiao sat in front of the dining table. After eating another piece of fruit, she took out a thick red packet from her pocket and stood up to hand it to her father, Chi Jianming.

“Dad, Happy Birthday! This is a little token from Lin Zixuan and me!”

Chi Jianming was very surprised. He reached out and took the red packet in surprise. It was heavy. It was a lot of money!
