Chapter 858: Chapter 858: If You Don’t Want It, Throw It in the Trash Can
Qiao Yin certainly wouldn’t tell him about her relationship with Lu Lingche, as she began to show him out, “I have a bunch of things to be busy with this afternoon, so if Young Master Gu has nothing else here, please leave.”
“Who said I’m done here?”
Gu Jing said, taking out an exquisite box from his bag somewhat awkwardly, “This is my birthday gift to you, I bought it beforehand, and since I’m here, might as well give it to you!”
Qiao Yin opened the box to find a Richard Mille ladies’ watch, full of diamonds, gleaming dazzlingly as she opened it.
Qiao Yin was not very knowledgeable about watches, but unfortunately, Lu Yanxi also owned one just like this, even the color was exactly the same. She had said that this watch was worth over three million and was hard to come by.
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but wonder, why every gift Gu Jing gave her always seemed to match with what Lu Yanxi had; their tastes were strikingly similar.
Seeing her strange expression, Gu Jing began to glare, “What’s wrong? You don’t like the gift? Even if you don’t like it, you have to accept it. I can’t afford to buy anything else, grandfather has cut off my allowance!”
He had actually thought about not giving Qiao Yin a gift at all, selling the watch for some spending money.
Unfortunately, his grandfather didn’t allow him to go out, nor did he allow friends to visit him at home. Even if he wanted to sell the watch, there was no opportunity!
Qiao Yin closed the box and pushed it back towards Gu Jing, “We don’t have that kind of relationship that warrants such an extravagant gift from you.”
Gu Jing frowned, “You don’t like this? This is very popular among young girls. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your good friend Lu Yanxi.”
Qiao Yin certainly believed it; Lu Yanxi’s most commonly worn item was this watch, and even when she was in her most difficult times, selling some jewelry and bags to gather money for Chen Yuan, she never had the heart to sell this watch, which showed how much she liked it.
“I’m not saying the gift isn’t good, I am saying that our relationship isn’t at the stage where such expensive gifts are appropriate, Young Master Gu, did you fail Chinese? You seem to have some comprehension issues.”
Gu Jing’s fair face flushed red instantly, whether from embarrassment or anger wasn’t clear, “You’re the one who failed Chinese! I have never taken back something I’ve given. If you don’t want it, throw it in the trash, just don’t give it back to me!”
Watching his agitated face, Qiao Yin thought he was indeed immature, easily provoked.
“I’m just worried that if I accept your gift, Madam Gu will come and make trouble for me again. One half of my face is already ruined; I can’t afford to ruin the other half, can I?”
“Are you out of your mind? If I don’t say anything, and you don’t say anything, how would my mother ever know? Unless you deliberately show off in front of my mother to provoke her; then she might scratch your other half.”
Qiao Yin’s heart skipped a beat, feeling like she had been slapped in the face.
She had just thought Gu Jing was naive, but in the blink of an eye, he had already neared the truth of the matter.
“There’s nothing worth showing off here, I don’t want to have a conflict with Madam Gu. It’s fine if I get hurt, but what’s most important is that I fear it would implicate the reputation of the entire hospital.”
Gu Jing looked at her for a while, then suddenly said, “Why do I feel you talk a bit like my eldest sister? She’s always talking about the corporation, considering its reputation more important than anything. She’s a career-oriented strong woman; you too?”
“What’s wrong, I don’t look like it?”
“You don’t seem like it; you don’t appear to have much ambition, nor the craving for power and money on your face.”
“I have ambition; it’s just that you haven’t noticed it.”
“It’s not good for a girl to be too ambitious.”
“Who says? Are only men allowed to be ambitious, and not women? What kind of logic is that? Young Master Gu, you’re young, but I didn’t expect you to have such outdated thoughts, looking down on women’s career development?”
What do you think?
