Chapter 493 Opening Gifts
Chapter 493 Opening Gifts
Shang Qing slowly walked to the pile of gift boxes of various sizes.
She reached out and gently stroked the boxes, as if she could feel the care and love her mother had put into preparing these gifts.
She raised her head, looked at Chi Yunning, whose eyes were red, and asked with a trembling voice, "Mom, are these the gifts you prepare for me every year?"
Chi Yunning nodded, forcing a smile from the corner of her mouth.
That smile revealed endless bitterness and helplessness: "Yes, Mom prepares gifts for Qingqing every year. Whatever other babies have, our Qingqing should have too."
Chi Yunning's voice was hoarse, but her anticipation and joy were more evident: "Qingqing is turning eighteen, and there are eighteen presents in total. Do you want to open them and take a look?"
Shang Qing stood in a room filled with gift boxes.
These gift boxes are of different sizes, but they are all neatly arranged, as if they were carefully arranged exhibits.
Her eyes slowly swept over the gift boxes, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.
She took a deep breath and tried hard not to let tears fall, but her nose felt sore involuntarily and her eyes turned red in an instant.
She nodded slightly, as if to express her approval of the gesture.
With heavy steps, Shang Qing came to the first gift box.
Shang Qing sat down naturally on the plush cushion on the ground.
Looking from behind, it was a very cute child opening his own present.
In the eyes of Min Yuting and Chi Yunning, Shang Qing has become a cute little kid.
That figure made up for the psychological trauma they had suffered over the years.
Carefully opening the box, I found a delicate little blanket inside. The soft fur made me want to touch it.
The blanket is embroidered with cute little bear patterns, which are lifelike and seem to come alive at any time.
Shang Qing picked up the blanket, felt its warmth, and then held it tightly in her arms, as if it were her mother's arms.
Then she opened the second box, and inside was a beautiful rag doll.
The doll has soft and smooth hair, eyes as bright as stars, and is wearing gorgeous clothes, just like a real little princess.
Shang Qing took out the doll, placed it next to her cheek and rubbed it gently, feeling its softness and warmth.
In this way, Shang Qing opened the gift boxes one by one, and every gift made her feel extremely surprised and touched.
There are exquisite handmade products, lovely stationery, beautiful clothes...
Every gift carries mother's love.
When she opened the eighteenth gift box, the light inside made her hold her breath.
It was a dazzling necklace, and the pendant was an expensive diamond that emitted a dazzling light.
Shang Qing had seen it in Chi Yunning’s circle of friends.
This necklace is called 'Baby'...
Chi Yunning came over, picked up the necklace, and gently put it around Shang Qing's neck. Then, with tears in her eyes, she said, "Qingqing, this is designed by your mother. I hope your future life will be bright."
"Thank you, Mom. I like it very much." Shang Qing stroked the necklace on her collarbone, her eyes full of warmth.
Chi Yunning's heart finally settled down.
Min Yuting also came over with something in his hand.
Chi Yunning looked at him and nodded.
After putting the things on the table, Min Yuting stood beside Chi Yunning.
Chi Yunning pulled Shang Qing over, pointed at these things, and said gently, "Qingqing, these are what Mom and Dad prepared for you. You must accept them."
Shang Qing looked down at the things in his hands, which included several property deeds and a box of expensive jewelry.
She was a little overwhelmed. These gifts were so valuable that she didn't know how to respond.
"Sister, please take it quickly. Please take it quickly."
Min Zhiheng approached Shang Qing with a smile on his face, pointing at the jewelry box and blinking his eyes continuously, as if hinting at something.
Seeing Shang Qing didn't understand, he said anxiously, "These are all my mom's favorites. She treasures them very much. I can't even touch them."
Shang Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Min Zhiheng behaving like a little kid.
She shook her head gently, then turned her gaze to Chi Yunning and said in a firm but gentle tone: "I can't have my mother's favorite thing."
After hearing what Shang Qing said, Chi Yunning immediately glared at Min Zhiheng unhappily.
She secretly groaned in her heart, what a son! What should she do if Qingqing doesn't want him?
She was in a good mood today, but after Min Zhiheng messed things up, she really wanted to beat him up!
Min Zhiheng now realized that he seemed to have done something bad with good intentions.
He scratched his head awkwardly and quickly said, "Sister, please accept it! If you don't, Mom will definitely beat me to death!"
Shang Qing looked at Min Zhiheng rubbing his hands and thought it was so cute, and it felt even funnier inside.
She suppressed her smile and said to Min Zhiheng gently, "Brother, don't worry, Mom won't hit you."
She turned her head, looked at Chi Yunning, took her hand, and continued: "Mom, I really can't have these jewelry. These are your favorites, and they will look so beautiful on you. Besides, I have a lot..."
"Qingqing, these are what Mom saved for you. Originally, I wanted to bury them next to you after I was a hundred years old..."
Chi Yunning's words suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand had grabbed her throat. Chi Yunning quickly covered her mouth, her eyes full of panic.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with panic and regret.
Min Yuting and Min Zhiheng were also stunned. They had not expected this at all and were panicked and at a loss for a moment.
They had been avoiding words like these since their youngest daughter died eighteen years ago.
But today, she was so happy and carefree that Chi Yunning actually used such a taboo word.
Now, Shang Qing is fine, still alive, and living so well.
It can't be buried anyway.
For a moment, the whole scene became extremely awkward, as if time had stopped.
Min Zhiheng was the first to react. He quickly explained, "Sister, Mom just wanted to give you something good, so she said something without thinking. Don't take it to heart!"
As he spoke, he gave Shang Qing a reassuring look.
Shang Qing watched the two of them in a state of panic, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.
She knew that they had always been careful to avoid mentioning that sensitive word because it was an eternal pain in their hearts.
However, today's joy made them relax their guard, so much so that they accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Although Shang Qing is relatively young and inexperienced, she can feel the pain and helplessness deep in the hearts of her family members.
She knew that they had been tormented by the cruel experience of losing their daughter for eighteen years.
