She is From The Countryside

Jiang Rui Could Not Accept It

“Fifth Uncle even personally prepared a thank you gift for you!”

It was even a special thank you gift that he personally went to the elders’ door for, looking for the pastries that the elders had made for him.

The more she thought about it, the more astonished Jiang Rui became.

“Also, Fifth Uncle said that he was thanking you for sending him back. What happened?”

!!

“I had met Fifth Master Jiang, who was out alone in a wheelchair in the courtyard, and sent him back. It was very easy for me to do. It was Fifth Master Jiang who was too well-mannered.”

Shi Yan said it simply, but Jiang Rui did not think so in her heart.

This was not a problem of being too courteous. That was fifth uncle! Although fifth uncle rarely treated others coldly, she had never seen him treat anyone so specially since fifth uncle moved into the old residence!

Putting aside how incredible it was for fifth uncle to personally come to look for his elders’ pastries as a thank you gift, it was already an incredible thing for fifth uncle to actually agree to Xiao Yan sending him back.

However, Jiang Rui did not intend to get to the bottom of it. If it was just an ordinary person helping out and the other person thanking them, then she would be meddling in other people’s business.

She would just wait and see.

Jiang Rui said, “So that’s how it is.

“Since you helped out, it’s only right for Fifth Uncle to give you a thank you gift.”

Jiang Rui could not help but shiver when she said that.

Oh my god! She had done well! She even dared to speak from fifth uncle’s position! What kind of person was fifth uncle? Even her parents and her brother didn’t dare to say things like “It’s only right to prepare a gift to thank you” on behalf of fifth uncle.

Her gaze fell on the pastry box in Shi Yan’s hand once again.

Even fifth uncle thought that the pastry was delicious. She was really curious about how delicious it was.

Sensing her gaze, Shi Yan said with a faint smile, “Since this is a thank you gift personally prepared by Fifth Master Jiang, I’m afraid I can’t share it with you. I know that there’s a pretty good pastry shop not far away. I’ll treat you to their pastries.”

Jiang Rui was speechless for a moment.

She didn’t say anything.

Although it was indeed not very nice to share other people’s thank you gifts, this was food, not some expensive gift. Moreover, there was no one else here, so no one would know if they had shared it. Besides, Xiao Yan was clearly not a stingy person…

She was rather protective of this box of cakes.

She looked at Shi Yan with a slightly mocking gaze. However, she saw Shi Yan smiling at her calmly.

Hence, Jiang Rui did not understand.

Was she thinking too much?

“Fifth Uncle personally found these and handed them to you personally. I don’t dare to eat it. You were right not to distinguish it from me.”

Jiang Rui was speaking from the bottom of her heart.

She was indeed curious about the taste of pastries, but she didn’t dare to eat them. She was afraid that she couldn’t afford to have diarrhea.
