Chapter 1666: Could She Still Marry Into the Jiang Family
However, it had been so long, and Jiang Fei still mentioned this pot of flowers. It seemed that he valued it very much.
If she said that the flowers were dead, would she still be able to marry into the Jiang family?
“I just want to know how you raised that pot of flowers.” Jiang Fei forced out a smile. “That pot of flowers is quite difficult to raise.”
Jiang Yuning also looked at Nian Xi curiously. He remembered that Nian Xi was so poor at raising flowers that she even killed a pot of orchid, the toughest type among houseplants. Although he had given the pot of flowers to Nian Xi, he had been taking care of it himself. Later, when he left, he gave some fertilizer to Nian Xi. However, he was not sure if Nian Xi could take good care of it.
Nian Xi was speechless when she faced the gaze of the family. It was fine for Jiang Fei and his wife to look at her, but what was Jiang Yuning looking at? Didn’t he know what kind of character she had.
“It’s not bad. I raised it well,” Nian Xi replied as if nothing had happened. “I must take good care of such a rare breed.”
Jiang Fei heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It took me ten years to cultivate that pot of flowers. Who knew that my son would steal the flowers when I wasn’t paying attention.”
After he said that, he secretly glanced at Nian Xi. He had already said so much. If this future daughter-in-law was smart, she would be very tactful and take the initiative to return the flowers.
Nian Xi felt a headache coming on. She simply pretended not to understand what Jiang Fei was trying to imply. She forced herself to nod and put on a serious look. “I didn’t expect it to be so expensive. Uncle Jiang, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of it. Don’t worry.”
Jiang Fei: “…”
He didn’t mean that.
Just as she was about to ask again, Shi Qingtong felt that it was too embarrassing for her husband to bite down on a pot of flowers on Nian Xi’s first visit. He directly interrupted her, “Nian Xi, he is relieved to hear that. It’s still a little cold in Beijing this month. Let’s go inside first.”
“Okay.” Nian Xi quickly followed Shi Qingtong into the courtyard and let out a sigh of relief.
After entering the courtyard, she was surprised to find that there were many strange flowers and plants in the courtyard. There were also pine, cypress, and ginkgo trees. There were other plants that he didn’t recognize. In short, the courtyard was full of plants, leaving only stone pathway in the middle to the hall.
Shi Qingtong explained to her, “Yuning’s father is a biologist. He especially likes to study these flowers, plants, stones, and animals. These were all planted by him. I don’t know where he got that big stone in the garden, but I heard that it was from Tang Dynasty.”
Nian Xi nodded in realization.
After entering the hall, she realized that the living room was different from the ones of ordinary people. Other people’s living room was placed with vases and paintings while their living room was placed with animal skeletons and various plant specimens.
There was a corridor to the right of the hall to the room. Nian Xi glanced at it and was so scared that she took a few steps back and leaned against Jiang Yuning.
It was night time now. The corridor was not lit and the cold moonlight shone in. At the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a skeleton standing there. It was eerie.
Jiang Yuning quickly held her and looked in the direction of her gaze. He smiled. “Xixi, you’re not afraid of that thing, right? What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t it just a gorilla skeleton?”
“…”
What do you mean it’s just a gorilla skeleton.
Nian Xi’s heart raced. Who wouldn’t be scared to death by a skeleton in the hallway at night.
“How could you… put such a precious thing in the hallway?” Nian Xi stuttered.
“That’s not a real gorilla skeleton. I copied it,”J iang Fei said proudly. “Do you want to go over and take a look? It’s absolutely the same as the real thing.”
