"Linxu." Ji Jingxi called Zheng Linxu's name very affectionately, and naturally walked to him and stopped.
It seemed that he had made a special trip to see Zheng Linxu.
It was really difficult for Jiang Mingzhu to have a good impression of Ji Jingxi. After seeing her, she was no longer interested in continuing to chat with Zheng Lin.
But Ji Jingxi himself didn't seem to realize this. He greeted Jiang Mingzhu warmly and said he would give her a gift.
Only then did Jiang Mingzhu find out that Ji Jingxi was a designer and quite famous in the fashion circle.
"No, thank you." Jiang Mingzhu said, "I have already chosen the gift. I will go back first. You can get busy."
Zheng Lin said: "Let's have lunch together?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I'll go back to stay with my parents."
Zheng Lin said: "Drive carefully."
Jiang Mingzhu walked out of the counter with the ring and the pair of earrings she had chosen for Fu Xiaozhi.
On the way home, Jiang Mingzhu received a call from Zhou Li.
She felt a little unhappy because of Ji Jingxi's matter and couldn't help but complain to Zhou Li.
Of course, Jiang Mingzhu omitted the part about buying the ring at the counter, and only said that she met Ji Jingxi when she was with Zheng Linxu.
Jiang Mingzhu's attitude towards Ji Jingxi, to use an inappropriate metaphor, is like seeing her father find a stepmother she doesn't like.
Even though Ji Jingxi treated her warmly, she still couldn't suppress the rejection deep in her heart.
Maybe it was out of protection against Xiaozhi.

During the Spring Festival, Jiang Mingzhu basically stayed with He Chuyan and Jiang Guming every day.
The family of three eats, goes shopping, and occasionally visits friends.
On the third day of junior high school, Jiang Mingzhu, He Chuyan, and Jiang Guming went to Qin's house.
After Qin Mingli's parents saw Jiang Mingzhu, they asked her a few questions about her relationship status with Zhou Li.
Although their parents had previously arranged a "baby marriage" for Qin Mingli and Jiang Mingzhu as a joke, now that Jiang Mingzhu has a boyfriend, they took it as a joke.
However, Qin Mingli's parents have always liked Jiang Mingzhu and their enthusiasm for her has not diminished.
Qin Mingli himself has also readily accepted the matter between Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li.
During the meal, Jiang Mingzhu sat with Qin Mingli and mentioned his resignation to him.
Qin Mingli paused while eating, "Are you getting married?"
Jiang Mingzhu had made an agreement with him before, and the next time she mentioned her resignation would be when she and Zhou Li got married.
Jiang Mingzhu also remembered this agreement.
Jiang Mingzhu put down her spoon with a smile: "Come on, I'm going to propose to him on Valentine's Day."
The smile on Qin Mingli's face froze for a moment. He thought he heard wrongly: "Are you proposing?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes."
She knew the reason for Qin Mingli's surprise: "No one stipulates that girls can't propose marriage, so I just want to give him the best."
Qin Mingli: "...Well, Zhou Li is very lucky to meet you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I am lucky to have met him."
She held her chin and said, "You only saw that I was good to him, but you didn't see what he did for me. Compared with what he did, what I am doing now is nothing, so I will let him do the world in the future." The happiest man in the world."
Qin Mingli thought he was very receptive to words, but when he heard Jiang Mingzhu say this, he still got goosebumps all over his body.
Qin Chongzhi had been listening for a long time with his ears perked up just now, and when he got here he finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Qin Chongzhi: "My God, Sister Tianzhuzhu, are you too in love?"
Jiang Mingzhu was attracted by Qin Chongzhi's sigh. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "Where is my love brain?"
Qin Chongzhi: "That boyfriend of yours is not as good as you said. I think he is cold and has no expression on his face. How could he turn into a gentle, considerate and good man in your mouth? Your filter is too thick!" "
Qin Chongzhi didn't say anything nonsense. After all, he and Zhou
The few times Zhou Li met Zhou Li, he always had a dark face.
To be precise, Zhou Li was expressionless most of the time.
Jiang Mingzhu was not angry because of Qin Chongzhi's words, but smiled and said to him, "Because he only showed me kindness."
"You're still young, you don't understand." Jiang Mingzhu patted Qin Chongzhi on the shoulder, "Compared to the kind of man who is gentle to the whole world, I still like my boyfriend who has a straight face to others but only smiles at me. Yes, hehe."
Qin Chongzhi rubbed goosebumps.
Seeing Jiang Mingzhu, who was usually very smart, become like this when she was in love, Qin Chongzhi suddenly became afraid of love.
But Jiang Mingzhu enjoyed it.
——
He Chuyan and Jiang Guming knew about Jiang Mingzhu's plan to propose to Zhou Li on New Year's Eve.
He Chuyan supported Jiang Mingzhu's decision.
The matter of feelings itself is mutual.
Zhou Li had paid a lot for Jiang Mingzhu. When they were in love, it was okay for Jiang Mingzhu to take the initiative.
He Chuyan has always admired and trusted Zhou Li.
The mother-in-law looks more and more pleased with her son-in-law, but the father-in-law is not so optimistic.
Jiang Guming has no objection to the relationship between Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li, and even supports their marriage.
But he was quite critical of Jiang Mingzhu's initiative to propose marriage.
It's not that a girl can't take the initiative to propose marriage, it's just that she did it without any indication from Zhou Li, making it seem like she was anxious to marry Zhou Li.
What if Zhou Li thinks Jiang Mingzhu was eaten to death by him and doesn't treat her well in the future.
Therefore, on the way to send Jiang Mingzhu back to Beicheng, Jiang Guming specially had a few words with Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Guming: "You should think about the proposal before making a decision. There are still a few days."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Huh? Dad, do you have any advice for me?"
Jiang Guming: "I don't object to your marriage to Zhou Li. Your idea of proposing is also very good."
He first affirmed Jiang Mingzhu's approach, "But I think your proposal should be made after he expresses his intention to get married to you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I understand, dad, you are afraid that he will think that I am too anxious and too proactive, so you won't cherish it."
Jiang Guming: "Yes, that's what I mean."
Jiang Mingzhu: "He won't."
She said these four words with great certainty, "If it were someone else, it might be like this, but he is Zhou Li."
"He has done so much for me in the past. I can't always enjoy his kindness to me without taking the initiative at all. The things I did before made him very insecure. I want to find his sense of security little by little. return."
Proposal is a very important step.
After hearing this, He Chuyan immediately expressed her support for Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, your idea is right. Mom supports you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "So dad, you don't have to worry. I do all this based on the premise that he loves me."
In the end, Jiang Guming was left speechless by Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, as long as you make a decision after careful consideration, dad will support you."
——
Valentine's Day is still a week away.
After Jiang Mingzhu returned to Beicheng, she began to prepare for the venue layout for the day of the proposal behind Zhou Li's back.
