Chapter 322 Duan Jinghan's Birthday Gift
Jiang Youli was somewhat surprised, "Huh?"
"What? Didn't you say last night that you wanted to meet my friends? After meeting you today, I rushed to each of their homes to explain the situation in person," Qi Huan said solemnly.
Jiang Youli realized that there was indeed such a thing after she said "Ah".
However... she didn't expect Qi Huan to tell his friend so quickly.
Jiang Youli touched her nose and said, "I remember, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly. After all, you said you would only consider having a meal together after my birthday banquet. You just found your younger brother, and Qi Tianxiang is being used against you by Qi Shaoxiong and his group. You have a lot on your plate right now."
Qi Huan said, "How can it be fast? Little Li'er, this concerns you, so naturally I have to pay more attention."
Jiang Youli really liked Qi Huan's direct approach. She smiled and said, "Okay, what did your friends say?"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "They all said they really want to have a private dinner with you now that you're so famous."
Jiang Youli was taken aback, then asked, "Did they come to our engagement party?"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "They came, but you were too conspicuous at the time, so you probably didn't notice them. However, they understand your situation, so they can understand."
Jiang Youli was a little embarrassed. "I see. Then I must meet with your brothers alone at my birthday party. I can't neglect them."
"And what about your friends, Xiao Li'er?" Qi Huan suddenly asked.
"What, you want me to bring my friends too? Are you trying to turn this into a blind date?" Jiang Youli joked.
Qi Huan smiled and said, "No, I'm just curious. I've never met your friend before."
Jiang Youli thought for a moment and then said truthfully, "I really don't have any friends."
Is Nightshade considered her friend?
Nightshade was loyal to her and treated her as his boss, never placing himself on the same level as her.
Is the Book of Changes considered a friend?
No, he was just an older brother I knew when I was little.
If I had to name her friends, they would be Little Green, Little White, and Little Black.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youli deliberately turned her head to look at the little green and little white animals sleeping by the bedside.
The two little ones were sleeping soundly.
“I’ve been dealing with poisonous insects and snakes since I was a child. Apart from the uncles and aunts in the village who weren’t afraid of me, my peers basically didn’t dare to have much contact with me. They were more in awe of me than friends,” Jiang Youli explained. “But I never felt lonely because I didn’t have any friends, because there were so many things I wanted to learn, and I simply didn’t have the spare time to deal with too many interpersonal relationships.”
This is also why Duan Jinghan felt that his efforts were not appreciated and that he was not valued in their relationship.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she needed to treat Qi Huan's legs, Jiang Youli wouldn't have had much time to spare for Qi Huan.
So far, she has been in Beijing and back at the Jiang family home for two or three months, but she has not had a formal date with Qi Huan even once, let alone had the leisure to meet Qi Huan's friends.
When they talked about Qi Huan's friend last time, she only mentioned it jokingly. She didn't expect Qi Huan to tell her so quickly that his friend wanted to have a private dinner with her.
Qi Huan said, "Perhaps it's just that you, Xiao Li'er, think you don't have any friends. But someone as outstanding as you should have many people who want to be your friend. Qi An'an sometimes talks to me and tells me that she is very happy to have met you and that it would be great if she could be your friend, but she feels that she is not good enough and does not deserve it."
Jiang Youli was taken aback by Qi Huan's question. "Really?"
To be honest, Qi An'an really enjoyed chatting with her.
Although her responses were neither timely nor enthusiastic, and she was never proactive, Qi An'an still chatted with her almost every day, talking about interesting things.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youli said, "After I've met your brothers, I'll introduce you to some people I'm very close to..."
"Okay," Qi Huan said with a smile.
……
After ending the video call with Qi Huan, Jiang Youli opened the chat window with Qi An'an.
She sent me a lot of messages today.
[Sister-in-law, I voted for your song in the Weibo competition between your new song and Jiang Zhao's! I also sent it to a few of my girlfriends to vote for you too! Although it's just a drop in the ocean, I'll definitely pay to support your new song as soon as it's released!]
Jiang Youli simply replied, "Thanks!"
After Jiang Zhao responded on Weibo, Qi An'an sent another message.
[This Jiang Zhao is even more disgusting than Li Zixuan! At least Li Zixuan was Long Yuan's lackey, but Jiang Zhao keeps saying he wants your forgiveness, and all he does is betray you time and time again. I sincerely hope this kind of person fades into obscurity!]
Jiang Youli's reply remained simple: [Stay calm, it's not worth getting angry over someone like him!]
Finally, before speaking with Qi Huan, Qi An'an sent three screenshots of herself and Duan Jinghan.
[Sister-in-law, I've gotten word of it for you. The birthday gift Duan Jinghan wants to give you is truly astonishing! He plans to transfer 5% of the shares in the food delivery company that his father gave him as compensation for leaving him stranded to live a life of hardship to you!]
[Of course, he has a condition: you have to cancel your engagement with Huan Ge and get engaged to him! I think this birthday present is precious, but he's still dreaming!]
[What Huan-ge can give you is definitely more than what Duan Jinghan can give you!]
Given the near-monopoly of the food delivery company under the Duan family in China, acquiring a 5% stake would already be of considerable value.
Duan Jinghan planned to give it to her, on the condition that she become his fiancée. Any other woman from an ordinary family would feel flattered.
But Jiang Youli didn't care at all.
Her own businesses and the research and auction of rare herbs are enough to ensure she will live a life of comfort. Money is as easy as picking something out of a bag for her and does not attract her.
She didn't know what her most desired birthday gift was, but it certainly wasn't the one Duan Jinghan wanted to give her, and it was one with a strong transactional element.
Jiang Youli replied: [Yes, you're right. He's really dreaming. I love Huanhuan. Unless Huanhuan betrays our relationship, I won't give up this engagement even if Huanhuan doesn't give me anything.]
[An'an, don't waste any more time with him. Just tell him directly that I wasn't the one chatting with him all this time.]
[I'm really grateful to you for helping me deal with Duan Jinghan these past few days. Come over for dinner sometime; Aunt Wang is a great cook.]
The other end replied with an excited emoji: [Really? Can I really come to your house for a meal, sister-in-law?]
[Okay, I'll tell Duan Jinghan right away that it was me, not you, his sister-in-law, who talked to him for so long!]
……
Qi An'an was so happy that she jumped out of bed and bounced wildly.
"This amazing woman actually invited me to her house for dinner! Oh my god! My heart is pounding!"
"I need to get rid of Duan Jinghan for her as soon as possible!"
She quickly calmed down, picked up her phone, switched to the chat window with Duan Jinghan, and sent a message revealing her identity as Jiang Youli had instructed.
