Chapter 41: Gifts

Xiao Miaomiao returned home and eagerly took out the gifts she had carefully prepared.

These gifts may not have been expensive, but each one was filled with her love and care.

When the family saw these gifts, their faces were filled with joyful smiles. Although they already possessed countless precious items, they cherished this gift from Miaomiao even more.

After all, these gifts were all practical little things in their lives, and it was clear that Xiao Miaomiao had put a lot of thought into choosing them.

At this time, Ouyang Xuan noticed a gift that was different from the others and curiously asked, “Miaomiao, did you buy this one for yourself?”

At that time, Ouyang Xuan was busy helping Xiao Miaomiao choose clothes, so she didn’t know about the other gifts she had bought.

Xiao Miaomiao smiled and replied, “No, this is for Li Jingcheng. It’s a music box that plays a soft and soothing melody. I plan to put it in his room so he can listen to it.”

As she spoke, she carefully unwrapped the package, gently wound the spring, and the clear and melodious music began to play.

Li Grandpa and Li Grandma were stunned when they heard the sound.

They didn’t expect that Xiao Miaomiao would even consider Li Jingcheng, not ignoring him just because he was currently in a coma.

This meticulous care warmed the hearts of the two elders and also brought comfort to Li Jingcheng.

Everyone looked at her with relief, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.

“Miaomiao is thoughtful,” Ouyang Xuan hugged Xiao Miaomiao tightly and said softly, her heart filled with gratitude.

She knew how much Xiao Miaomiao valued and cared for Li Jingcheng, and this gesture warmed her heart.

“I don’t know if he’ll like this gift, but I really like it. I can listen to it with him when the time comes,” Xiao Miaomiao said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

“He will definitely like it, after all, this is the first gift he has received since he fell into a coma,” Ouyang Xuan looked at Xiao Miaomiao, her eyes filled with relief.

“So that’s how it is. If I come across any suitable gifts in the future, I’ll definitely buy him some more,” Xiao Miaomiao suddenly felt a surge of pity in her heart upon hearing this, feeling that Li Jingcheng was a bit pitiful.

Ouyang Xuan was truly grateful at this moment that she had followed her parents’ advice and kept Xiao Miaomiao.

Xiao Miaomiao went upstairs carefully, clutching the music box.

Ouyang Xuan watched her leave, and after she went upstairs, she put away her smile, quickly found Mrs. Hong’s contact information, and dialed the phone.

Although Jiang Qi’s wife had stood up for Miaomiao in the mall, this didn’t mean the matter was over. Xiao Miaomiao was a member of their Li family, and they weren’t so easy to bully.

“Mrs. Hong, this is Ouyang Xuan. I’m calling you for no other reason than to tell you one thing. Now Miaomiao is our Li family’s daughter-in-law, so I’m letting you know in advance.”

“I hope you can tell your son not to appear in front of Miaomiao anymore, especially that mistress. If she dares to show up in front of my Miaomiao again, I will definitely not let your son off easily. This is a warning. If there is a next time, it won’t be so simple. Don’t forget, our Li family hasn’t fallen yet!” Ouyang Xuan warned coldly.

Mrs. Hong’s respectful reply came from the other end of the phone, “Okay, I understand.” She clearly felt the importance that the Li family placed on Xiao Miaomiao.

Qiao Yu looked at her mother-in-law’s gloomy face and couldn’t help but feel a pang of anxiety. Even the two children sensed the strange atmosphere and sat quietly playing, not daring to make too much noise.

Soon, Hong Wenbin’s father and older brother returned home. It turned out that they had also received stern warnings from the Jiang family and the Li family. If it hadn’t been for what happened today, they wouldn’t even have known that Hong Wenbin had already divorced.

“That rebellious son hasn’t come back yet? Look at the good son you raised,” Hong Xiao looked at Hong’s mother with a gloomy face and cursed viciously.

Hong’s mother sneered, sarcastically replying, “Like father, like son. Isn’t he learning from you?” Her eyes were filled with disdain and anger.

“Is the son mine alone?” Hong’s mother wouldn’t blame all of Hong Wenbin’s actions on herself. She was dissatisfied with her husband’s accusations.

Hong Xiao felt a little uneasy when he heard this, because he himself had a bunch of illegitimate children outside.

At this time, Qiao Yu walked over, gently took her husband Hong Wenchang’s hand, and asked softly, “What’s going on?” Her face was full of worry.

“Is the Jiang family and the Li family going to put pressure on our company?” Qiao Yu asked worriedly.

Hong Wenchang shook his head and replied softly, “Almost. The Li family president and the Jiang family president both called Dad directly, asking him to control Wenbin and not appear in front of Miaomiao anymore. Also, that Liu Yueyue, if they make Xiao Miaomiao unhappy, they won’t let us off easily either.”

“If you don’t teach your children, it’s the fault of the father. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. They directly went to Dad to settle the score. The Li family president said so.” Hong Wenchang’s face became increasingly ugly. Hong Wenbin had caused trouble himself and made his family clean up the mess. It was enough to have such a brother.

“The Jiang family president was even more direct, saying that if there was another time, he would directly make the entire Hong family history.” Hong Wenchang frowned. These threats were no joke.

Hong Wenchang didn’t doubt the words of those two at all. They truly had the ability and means to do so. Moreover, he knew that both of them were people who kept their word.

“Mom also received a call from the Li wife to warn her. We only found out about the divorce today. Mom was very angry. She was so angry this time. When did Mom ever lose face like this?” Qiao Yu shook her head helplessly, feeling helpless about her mother’s anger.

“Also, Liu Yueyue, that woman is really enough. She actually dared to appear in front of Miaomiao, and even asked Miaomiao to return the money she received from the divorce to Wenbin, saying it was for her child in her belly. She’s really shameless.” Qiao Yu became angrier and angrier, feeling that Liu Yueyue was simply a shameless person.

“Mom always values rules. Mom will definitely not let Liu Yueyue enter the door. If Wenbin doesn’t handle this well, he might really be kicked out of the house.” Qiao Yu decided to believe her mother-in-law’s ruthlessness.

She wouldn’t favor her son in her eyes. On the contrary, she was very rational, terrifyingly rational.

Hong Wenbin lingered at the door for a while, but still mustered up the courage to open the door and go in. The first thing that greeted him was a cup thrown by Hong Xiao.

Hong Wenbin couldn’t dodge in time and was hit in the face. However, no one felt sorry for him.

Instead, the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Qiao Yu felt a little distressed.
