The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 374 - 372
Qiao Qiqi was also shocked by Gu Shili’s actions. Why would he think of giving her such an expensive birthday gift?
These are nine castles, not nine small villas.
It’s true that she did help him once in this life, but it’s not to the extent that he should give her such an extravagant birthday present, right?
"I can’t accept the castles. If you’re willing to give me the carriage instead, I’d be happier."
In this life, no matter what she wants, she will create it with her own hands, and she would never think of taking shortcuts, let alone taking advantage of someone.
Qiao Jiezhe was pleased when his sister refused. Hmph, this little wolf cub thinks he can whisk away his sister so easily!
Qiao Yaozu also breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly came over and said, "Thank you for your kind gesture, but my Qiqi won’t accept such costly gifts from others! Please take it back."
The guests initially felt envy, thinking Qiao Yaozu got himself a great daughter who would just receive nine castles, as if the Qiao Family had hit the jackpot. But now, with Qiao Yaozu’s refusal, they truly began to admire the Qiao Family member!
Accepting those nine castles would have been no different than accepting a dowry from the young lad.
"I didn’t think it through. I’ll take back the castles, and these seven horses and the carriage will be yours," Gu Shili acknowledged that he had been a bit hasty and lacked calmness in his consideration.
He just wanted to present the best things in the world to her, but he forgot that doing so might cause her trouble. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Thank you!" Qiao Qiqi smiled happily, and the smile on her face became much more sincere.
Gu Shili squeezed her hand and turned to the guests, saying, "Today, anyone who came to celebrate Miss Qiao’s birthday can reserve a castle at a 50% discount, along with special privileges!"
The guests all cheered upon hearing this!
Wow, today is truly a big win, who doesn’t know how hard it is to book a castle here, and they are extremely expensive!
It’s the value of the Qiao Family daughter’s social standing!
This birthday banquet for Qiao Family’s true daughter was really worth attending!
Qiao Jiezhe saw Gu Shili’s small action and quickly rushed over to stand between him and his sister, Ma De, he wanted to chop off this brat’s hand!
Daring to hold his sister’s little hand!
Qiao Yaozu was very satisfied with Gu Shili’s knowing his limits. He handled the situation not only without embarrassing his daughter but also earned respect for the Qiao Family.
Not bad at all, the young man has potential!
Gu Lizhe, who had been watching everything from the shadows, was relieved. To be honest, he was worried his older brother, lacking romantic experience, might find some vain woman to be their sister-in-law, which would disgust him immensely!
Someone who remains unmoved by nine castles is definitely not a gold-digger.
Gu Cheng then angrily kicked him and said, "I told you, Miss Qiao is not that kind of person!"
"You little brat! Now do you even remember your last name?" Gu Lizhe almost fell from the kick and swung back at him.
Gu Cheng quickly dodged, "The boss already asked me to follow Miss Qi Qi, so from now on I’m her man! You can’t control me!"
Gu Lizhe, "..."
"Traitor! I never expected you, Gu Cheng, to be the first to betray me! You really opened my eyes!" Gu Lizhe angrily pointed at him.
"Wrong! I’m just following orders! In any case, Miss Qi Qi is the perfect match for the boss! You better be careful and don’t offend her! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning you!"
