Chapter 141 Different Gift for Different People
In fact, the Smith family were all stubbon and never make a concession. Who did Justin take after? Edward knew it well. Though Justin invited Jane in good faith, he was also a face person. As a saying goes, "You can take a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink." It was no need to make everyone feel awkward. So even Jane was at the Smith family all the morning on Saturday, no one told her what day it was today.
Not to mention that the Smith family didn't tell, even Henry has kept his mouth shut. How thoughtful those kids were.
On Saturday afternoon, after giving a lesson to Eloise, Jane took a taxi and rushed to YGraceLand. It was just after seven o'clock when she arrived there. Being afraid of being late, she made the arrangement with Aiden at eight o'clock, but she still arrived there too early.
It was embarrassed to go directly into the private room, so Jane just wandered around in the huge Chinese-style courtyard. She had been here before and could feel that it was baronial even at a glance. Now she got time to take a stroll around carefully, and couldn't help but sighing that the rich in S City were so countless. Not to mention the people who came here for fun, just the people who built the building here, the investment was more than 100 million RMB.
The road was really winding, Jane walked for a long time but still didn't know where she was and just saw a bright light behind the rockery. When she got closer, it turned out to be an empty space where the workers were working under the light. Jane saw Aiden at a glance in a crowd. He was wearing a black jacket and black trousers, with his white shirt exposed and drawing something on the construction drawing with his head down when talking with the contractor beside him.
Though Jane couldn't hear his voice from a distance, this might be how the idol worked in her imagination.
After the habitual worship, Jane was suspicious. Why was Aiden here? Was he the contractor?
"Aiden!"
Suddenly a loud male voice came behind Jane, which frightened her. Then she turned her head to look, a fair and beautiful face appeared in front of her. Ken looked over Jane, staring ahead and waving his hand. Jane turned her head, and sure enough, Aiden was looking towards them.
Ken succeeded in attracting Aiden's attention. After a while, he looked down at Jane and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Jane's heart was still beating fast. "I just came here too early and just looking around." she replied as calmly as possible.
Ken said, "What a coincidence! You came to Aiden. And I just thought who was the guy standing there sneakily from a distance."
Jane said, "Is there anything that I can steal, the tree?"
Ken smiled, "Tell me what you want, and just take it away."
Jane said, "Is this yours?"
Ken put his hands in the pockets of his short jacket and laughed more and more slovenly. "You know this? You really have something."
Jane was not sure whether what he said was true or not. At this moment, Aiden walked over. She immediately changed her expression and greeted, "Mr. Cater."
Aiden nodded with a smile. "Why did you come here?"
Ken said, "I heard that you were here. So I just come and have a look. Is it done?"
Aiden said, "A hot spring pool was added. And since there is already a man-made waterfall in the east, it's no need to get another one."
Ken laughed. "The boss himself takes the command on the day of his birthday. Those who don't know might think I am enslaving you."
"They just came over and told me that you wanted to hang lanterns in the garden. But this is not for the new year or wedding. What are you thinking?" Aiden added.
Kenn said, "Your birthday is only once in a year and I can even get married more than once in a year if I want. Since you don't want to have a huge blowout for your birthday, then why can't we just make it more joyous?"
Aiden was speechless.
Hearing their talking, Jane was a little behind on this. "Today is Mr. Cater's birthday?"
The introduction of Aiden's birthday on the Internet was unknown, and it was the first time that Jane heard about it.
Ken deliberately asked, "Did you bring him a birthday gift?"
Since he didn't even tell her, why would she bring a gift?
Feeling Jane's embarrassment, Aiden said, "Leave him alone. And I don't celebrate my birthday and just want to find an opportunity for everyone to have a dinner together."
Hearing this, Ken said, "She gave me a birthday gift before."
Jane glared at him. "What else do you have in your bag? Don't play favorites. Aiden is the boss of Forward Education, and this is a good time for you to bribe him." Ken teased.
Jane touched the bag subconsciously. "Just ignore him. I'm so gald for your coming." Aiden said.
He was trying to make her feel less embarassed. But the more Jane thought about it, the more indignant she felt for coming here with nothing. Not to mention that today was his birthday, and also Aiden had helped her more than once before. She couldn't only said "Happy birthday" to him.
"Wait a minute." Jane said.
Standing under the corridor, Aiden and Ken looked at her. She put the bag on the railing, then took out a plastic bag in which there was a palm-sized potted plant. It was a simple white plastic bottom with a green bud on it.
Ken looked at it and then said to himself what kind of anti-pervet tool was this.
Holding the potted plant, Jane blushed under the light. She looked at Aiden and said, "This is the branch of gardenia. And it seems that it is not grown in S City, so I ask my family to break a branch and send it to me. It just arrived in noon, and if you don't mind, you can take it back and put it on the table. It doesn't need watering frequently this season. And when the temperature reaches 20 degrees, just water it once a day, it will bloom well. The scent of a single flower can spread through the whole house. "
Aiden said, "Since it was sent by your family, you just keep it. "
Jane put her hand forward. "It's OK. I've got a lot of at home, and I can tear a branch off if I want."
Aiden reached out his hand to take it. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, happy birthday."
Aiden smiled.
While Ken didn't, he looked at Jane and asked, "Why did you give him flower and me a pervet defense tool ?"
Jane said in a low voice, "It's just a coincidence."
"I don't care. Give me that flower, what kind is it?" Ken asked.
Aiden said, "You are just like a flower. Take care of yourself."
Ken turned his head. "You are not a flower lover, just give it to me."
He reached out his hands to grab. Aiden took the potted plant away with one hand, and said, "I like gardenias."
What Aiden said was that he liked gardenias, but Jane was flipped while hearing this. She pretended to be calm.
Sure enough. "Are you having a crush on flower or Jane?" Ken provoked.
Aiden stayed calm. "When I was a child, this kind of flower was planted in front of my grandmother's house."
He never joked about his family, Ken knew it well. Hearing what he said, Ken changed the topic naturally, saying that he would plant this flower everywhere and many people in S City have never seen it before.
Aiden said, "You've been used to seeing treasure flowers, and have never seen free flowers blooming on the roadside."
The three walked back together. Aiden was introducing gardenia to Ken. "I will go to H City to see it personally when I get time." Ken said.
Jane could see that Aiden didn't accept this gift out of politeness, but he really liked it. Especially his understanding of gardenia, which was a memory of his past. He was not eager to get rid of the poor past, but still cherished everything he once had.
