Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 858: I Just Don’t Know If Your Gift Is a Surprise or a Shock

Today, Yunyi decided to give her meet-and-greet gift first, partly because last time she visited the Huo Family, her mother-in-law and father-in-law had already given her gifts.

Moreover, they had hosted the banquet in Ji City first, and everyone had contributed to the gift funds, so it was only fitting to give out the prepared gifts first.

While Yunyi was having a lively conversation with Lu Fengning, she saw her eldest sister-in-law Huo Weiyu and her big sister-in-law Gui Hongmei walking towards her.

Huo Weiyu said with a smile, ”Last time when you visited the house, we weren’t prepared, so we need to make up for the meet-and-greet gift today.”

Big sister-in-law Gui Hongmei also smiled, ”Fourth sister-in-law, take a look and see if you like it.”

After she spoke, she was the first to hand over something she had prepared.

Before Yunyi could speak, Huo Jiayuan exclaimed, ”This scarf is really beautiful.”

Gui Hongmei chuckled, ”Isn’t it pretty? I specially asked a colleague to bring it back from Hu City.”

Yunyi looked at the scarf in her hands, her eyes filled with joy. This scarf is probably not cheap, given it’s not the common small square scarf but a rectangular large scarf, not commonly seen in the north. ”I really like it, thank you, big sister-in-law.”

Seeing Yunyi genuinely likes it, Gui Hongmei quickly said, ”As long as you like it, fourth sister-in-law.”

Huo Weiyu then handed Yunyi a small iron box, ”I think you might find this useful.”

Yunyi reached out to take it, ”What is it?”

Huo Jiayuan was also curious, ”Sis, what’s inside?”

Huo Weiyu saw their curiosity, ”Open it and find out.”

Once they saw what was inside, everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Yunyi was hesitant to accept it—not because it wasn’t good, but because it was too precious.

Huo Weiyu seemed to notice Yunyi’s hesitation, ”These things can only be truly useful when given to someone who needs them.”

This is quite true, as pearls in medicine have calming effects, detoxifying and healing properties, can clear vision, and treat symptoms like restlessness, skin spots, and have good effects on injuries and hearing loss due to kidney deficiencies.

Thinking that the item was thoughtfully prepared by her oldest sister-in-law, she said, ”Sis, I’ll shamelessly accept it then. Later, I’ll use the pearl powder to make some more face creams for everyone.”

Just then, Gao Ruyi also walked over, and somehow they all seemed to share the same mind, speaking simultaneously, ”Then we’ll be waiting.”

Jiang Jingya looked at their harmonious interactions, with a smile all over her face.

She couldn’t help but glance diagonally opposite, just in time to see Duan Zhuangyu also standing up.

Gao Ruyi smiled at Yunyi, ”Fourth sister-in-law, this is my meet-and-greet gift for you. See if you like it?”

Yunyi liked her second sister-in-law’s personality, smiling as she replied, ”You all prepared these gifts with heart, how could I not like them.”

Seeing it in full view, Yunyi instantly fell in love with the small item, a leaf-shaped brooch that was really unique.

Yunyi held it in her hand with delight, ”Thank you, second sister-in-law, I really like it.”

Duan Zhuangyu then spoke up, ”Everyone’s given a gift, I can’t be left out. I bought this chocolate at Yi Shopping Mall, fourth sister-in-law, don’t be polite.”

Yunyi accepted it with a light smile, ”When seeds don’t fill up, it’s human nature, how could I refuse.”

What the reality of the situation is doesn’t matter to Yunyi, as everyone has their own nature. As long as the surface can be passed gracefully, it’s fine.

At this moment, Huo Jiayuan leaned towards Yunyi’s ear, ”Fourth sister-in-law, I placed your gift in your room’s cabinet, you’ll see it when you go up.”

Yunyi looked at Huo Jiayuan, always feeling she had ill intentions, ”I just don’t know if your gift is a surprise or a scare?”
