Lin Shu was so engrossed in these gift boxes that she wanted to put them in a safer place. She hadn't noticed the odd tone in Fang Zhi's voice.
"You can't say that. After all, this is someone's goodwill. Besides, the gifts are quite authentic. Not every Hua Country citizen can make such thoughtful choices."
Lin Shu opened two more boxes for Fang Zhi to see.
"Look at these hairpins he chose. They're beautiful. Can an ordinary person find this many?"
Indeed, the hairpins were lovely, adorned with various colored gems and intricate gold threads.
It was clearly something that an ordinary person couldn't afford.
Fang Zhi's displeasure grew.
"Do you really need to accept his gifts?"
"His gifts are merely intended to win some concessions in the contract. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
The contract Slytherin wanted to sign could be a springboard for them, allowing them to take a step forward if they secured it.
By signing it, Lin Shu was also lending him a hand.
