His Glamorous Reborn Wife

Chapter 308

Chen Jierou said angrily, "Shi Jin is a troublemaker. Why is she always causing problems everywhere?"

"Forget it, it's fine. I believe my brother will wake up soon."

"By the way, you said that we should dress more plainly when meeting Big Brother. Why?"

"He has always dressed very plainly. He doesn't like others to dress too gorgeously," explained Shi Xuexin.

"That's not true. Can't you see that his shirt is a limited edition? The fabric of the jacket he changed into at the back is also very unique. His entire outfit is custom-made."

Chen Jierou's family was in the clothing business, so she was relatively knowledgeable.

Shi Xuexin was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said he's wearing custom-made clothes! They're expensive. How could an ordinary person afford them? What part of him can be said to have anything to do with simplicity?"

Shi Xuexin could not believe it. On the way home, she was in a daze. After returning home, she asked the servant, "Where are the clothes I wore when I was young?"

"I think they were all thrown out."

"Is there nothing left?"

"Miss, you are the one who said to throw everything away. You thought they were eyesores."

Shi Xuexin's expression turned extremely ugly. One of the servants seemed to have thought of something and said, "I saw a few pieces of good quality clothing. I saved them for my

granddaughter to wear. Miss, if you want, I'll bring them back for you."

"Get them."

Soon, the servant brought over a small bag with a dozen sets of clothes inside. They were all clothes that Shi Xuexin had worn back in that small town.

So many years had passed, and the maid's granddaughter had worn them many times. However, the colors were still bright and hadn't faded.

Shi Xuexin grabbed a handful of clothing. There were no labels on them. The designs were simple and mainly consisted of plain colors, black, white, and gray. At first glance, everything looked inconspicuous. Upon closer inspection, every part of the needlework was fine and uniform.

And in fact, just based on the fact that it had remained the same even after so many years, one could tell the value of the material and workmanship.

Shi Xuexin was shocked. What kind of family was the Li family?

How was she able to wear handmade, high-end clothes while living in a small town!

After Shi Jin's college entrance examination results were announced, Second High hung up a banner and held a celebration party for the entire Year Three class.

At the banquet, Principal Lu specially invited the teachers from First High School over. He showed them Shi Jin's marks one by one.

The faces of the teachers and principal of First High School turned red and white.

They couldn't blame Principal Lu for being arrogant.

Back then, when Wen Yongwei had been the first prize winner of the domestic Mathematical Olympiad, First High School had almost hung a banner at the entrance of Second High School.

Right now, Principal Lu was just trying to get back at them. It was nothing special. Moreover, when the teacher from First High School mentioned the bet he had made, his voice was especially loud.

Shi Jin did not stay for long and walked out.

The others were still busy, and only she appeared at the entrance of Second High School.

It was already summer vacation and there were not many people at school. She strolled out and heard Shi Xuexin calling out to her, "Shi Jin!"

Shi Jin looked up and saw that familiar and annoying figure. She was really persistent.

"Shi Jin." Shi Xuexin ran over and said, "I heard that the school is holding a celebration party for you today. I wanted to celebrate with you too."

"The celebration is inside. You can go in." Shi Jin looked at her with a faint smile.

It was obvious that Shi Xuexin would not enter just to seek humiliation.

Shi Xuexin said with a smile, "Since we're here to celebrate, we're naturally here to celebrate for you. Isn't our birthday coming up soon as well? Let's celebrate together, alright?"

Shi Jin looked up. Her clear eyes were striking, making Shi Xuexin unable to hide anything.

How could Shi Jin not know why she had invited her to celebrate her birthday with her?

Shi Jin said calmly, "How rare. Have you invited me before?"

"We used to... we used to live together, so we didn't need to specially invite each other."

"There's no need for that. I don't like celebrating birthdays with people I don't like." After Shi Jin said that, she walked away slowly.

Shi Xuexin felt vexed. This was like having her left cheek slapped by Gu Jingyuan and her right cheek slapped by Shi Jin.

She bit her lip and thought about whether there was anyone left in the Li family that she had not offended before.

She counted carefully and realized that there was no one. It wasn't just her, Yuxiu Hua's eccentric attitude had also damaged the relationship between the two families.

After they returned, Yuxiu Hua said happily, "Xuexin, for your birthday this time, I've booked the banquet hall at Breeze Wind Pavilion for you!" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Thanks, Mom."

"Also, the Chu family came early in the morning to tell me that Chu Ling will be there. Not only that, he will also bring some friends to support us."

"Really?" Shi Xuexin felt much better.

"Why would I lie to you?" Yuxiu Hua looked radiant. "This birthday banquet of yours will definitely become a grand occasion!"

Shi Xue thought about Shi Jin and Gu Jingyuan's arrogant looks. Perhaps they were indeed difficult to beat, but so what?

With Chu Ling around, the Shi family could still crush the Lis.

On Shi Jin's birthday.

A few days earlier, Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing had been preparing for the entire birthday party.

This was the first birthday they had celebrated with their daughter in twenty years. It was obvious how important it was. Because of this, Gu Jingyuan had been reminded many times.

Of course, Gu Jingyuan had no complaints. He was even more concerned about this birthday party than his parents.

Not only had he personally prepared the set-up, but he had also arranged the dishes and flavors in the kitchen.

Early in the morning, he even went to take a look at the venue to ensure that everything was fine. After that, he returned home and chose the most suitable outfit.

Dad, Mom, I'm going to pick up my sister!" Gu Jingyuan said, leaving with his car keys.

The three of them had all wanted to go and get Shi Jin. In the end, Gu Qingqing had proposed they draw lots to decide the winner, and Gu Jingyuan had won.

Because of this, Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing felt regretful for half a night.

"It seems like we can only go and fetch her first, then go and get the cake," Li Juekai said.

"Well, I'm going to see my daughter soon anyway. What's wrong with picking her up early?" Gu Qingqing laughed.

Shi Jin knew that there would be a birthday party tonight.

Her previous birthdays had all been fragmented. She had either spent them with Old Master Shi, or, later on, when Old Master Shi could no longer see and did not care about the Shi family's affairs,

she had casually spent them with Shi Xuexin. Hence, she wasn't really looking forward to her birthday.

However, seeing everyone busy preparing for her, a different feeling slowly rose in her heart.
