302: Not the Kind of Person to Destroy a Flower

Not the Kind of Person to Destroy a Flower

Not only Ou Zhenglin, but Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu also looked at her.0

In their eyes, Jiang Shen and Jiang Xiaoli were the only outsiders at the table.

Jiang Shen was not the kind of person to destroy a flower, so the only suspect was Jiang Xiaoli.

When Jiang Xiaoli saw that everyone's eyes were on her, she felt even more guilty.

However, on second thought, it was just a good-looking flower, that's all.

So what if she picked it?

Hence, Jiang Xiaoli straightened her posture and said confidently, "I'm sorry, I was the one who plucked that flower."

The bright room fell into a temporary silence after she spoke.

Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu looked at Jiang Xiaoli like she was an idiot.

Ou Zhenglin and Liu Ruhua's expressions were identical—cold and gloomy.

However, Chi Jiao had a faint smile on her face as she sized up Jiang Xiaoli.

This woman dared to take responsibility for her actions. Very good. This saved her a lot of trouble.

Quan Jue frowned. He could vaguely sense that this was no ordinary flower.

Hence, he reached out from under the table and held Chi Jiao's hand tightly on her lap.

He didn't want to make his comforting action too obvious.

He was afraid that the flower had an extraordinary meaning and that the delicate girl would feel sad.

Jiang Shen sensed that the atmosphere was not right. At first, it was still harmonious, but now, it could only be described as hell.

"Does the flower have any special meaning?" Jiang Shen asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Hong Zai is a new breed of flower that Jiaojiao spent years cultivating. It is a medicinal flower," Ou Zhenglin said indifferently, his cold eyes staring straight at Jiang Xiaoli. "Miss Jiang, why did you pick it?"

Under his sharp gaze, Jiang Xiaoli felt like she had nowhere to hide. She smiled dryly and said, "I didn't know that it was a medicinal flower. I thought it looked pretty, so I plucked it. I thought it was just an ordinary flower. It's not a big mistake, right? At most, I'll pay for it."

When Jiang Shen heard what she said, he felt like his head was going to explode.

He really shouldn't have brought Jiang Xiaoli along with him!

Those who knew Ou Zhenglin and knew what he did would know that the items in his courtyard could not be touched casually. Even a small blade of grass could be a priceless herb!

At that time, all he could think about was how to get Ou Zhenglin and Liu Ruhua to leave the mountains. He had completely forgotten to tell Jiang Xiaoli not to touch anything there.

However, since things had already come to this, Jiang Shen could only thicken his skin and say to Ou Zhenglin, "Old Master Ou, I'm really sorry. It's natural for a young lady to like flowers and plants. If Xiaoli knew that it was a herb, she definitely wouldn't touch it. But since it has already happened, Old Master, please name a price. Treat it as us buying this flower."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded and looked arrogantly at Chi Jiao. "Since the medicinal flower was cultivated by you, you can name your price."

No matter what, she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and did not lack money.

As soon as she said that, Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu, who had been silent all this while, shifted their gazes elsewhere and did not look at her again.

The reason was simple. The girl in front of them was just too stupid to even look at.

If she fell into Jiaojiao's hands, she would already be doomed without them having to do anything.
