Luckily Gu Tianqing was very alert . She quickly interrupted, "Brother, did you take the wrong present? That should be the hairpin I asked you to buy for Aunty Zhang . Aunty Zhang was still mumbling this morning as she was afraid that you would forget to buy it for her . "
She took the silver hairpin away and took out another golden hairpin, "Brother, this should be the one you wanted to give Xijiu . You passed it to me earlier and asked me to give it to her . You are so forgetful . Luckily, I remembered . "
While she was talking, she walked to Gu Xijiu and passed the golden hairpin to her, "Xijiu, this is what your brother bought for you . Try it and see if it is suitable for you?"
With just a few sentences, she managed to solve the embarrassment .
Gu Tianchao looked at his sister with gratitude, and then looked at Gu Xijiu who was standing there quietly with her arms folded .
Gu Xijiu finally glanced at her brother with a confident look, and it made him feel nervous . Obviously, she was still a kid, but her eyes were very sharp, and it was as if they could pierce through him .
For a moment, he thought that she would not accept the golden hairpin just to embarrass him . He did not expect that Gu Xijiu would laugh and take the hairpin . She said, "Thank you . I appreciate that Second Young Master thought of me when he prepared his presents . "
Gu Tianchao was relieved . Before he could ask her to try on the hairpin, Gu Xijiu said slowly, "I have kept every present that Second Young Master had bought for me . Since this hairpin is so valuable, I would like to keep it together with all your other presents . " Then, she ordered her maid, "Go and take the little red box beside my bedside cupboard for me . "
The maid answered "okay" then walked away .
Gu Tianchao's facial expression changed again . He forced a smile, "Xijiu, the hairpin is bought to wear, not to keep…"
Before he completed his sentence, the maid had retrieved the box from Xijiu's bedroom . Gu Xijiu opened the box and showed everyone the things inside the box . There was a wooden hairpin, a single-colored small pouch that even their servants would not use, a flower, and a specially-shaped stone .
Everything was kept neatly and covered with a soft cloth . Xijiu could tell that the original owner treasured these things a lot . All the things Gu Tianchao bought for Gu Xijiu were randomly picked from the market and sometimes even the roadside . He never seriously chose them for her so naturally, he could not remember what he had given her .
When he saw these things placed neatly in the box, his heart shook a bit, and his face was burning hot . Gu Xietian noticed the presents she had received and was very unhappy . He was disappointed with himself as he had ignored her for too long . He understood that this kid lacked love and care that she could even treasure all these rubbish .
He always thought that his son treated Xijiu well because of how happy she was to see him . Only now did he learn that his son had treated her like a beggar… He was ashamed and angry . He coldly stared at Gu Tianchao and took the box from Gu Xijiu . He shook it slightly and realized that the things inside had broken .
"Xijiu, you are my daughter . You deserve the best . I have a lot of better things for you . Come with daddy to my study room . " He pulled Gu Xijiu with him .
The crowd remained silent .
