Chapter 787 - The Gains Outweigh the Losses
Lu Youyou smiled slightly, the breath around her body immediately became extremely gentle, she gently walked to the old man's side and held the old man's hand, and then returned to the microphone with the old man.
She smiled faintly and said, "First of all, I'm glad that everyone can take time out of their busy schedules to attend my grandfather's birthday party. Thank you!" she bowed slightly. The audience immediately remembered another round of applause.
When she bowed and raised her head, the people in the audience slowly quieted down again. Lu Youyou smiled again and said: "Actually, it's not difficult for everyone, as the new daughter-in-law of the Ling family, I am always worried about what I did not do well and what is not satisfactory when I prepare everything for today's venue, so if there are those things that make everyone feel uncomfortable today, please bear with me." ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and several reporters immediately asked, "Miss Ye, did you prepare everything in today's venue alone?"
Lu Youyou smiled and shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't dare to take credit for this, although this singing thing is all done by me, most of it is done with the help of our housekeeper." ”
As soon as Lu Youyou's words came out, there was an immediate burst of admiration from the audience.
If Lu Youyou admitted that she did it herself, it is estimated that no one would refute it, but what she said is more realistic and makes people believe it more.
"As for me, I did prepare a gift for my grandfather, please ask my husband to help me get it. She smiled at Ling Zhaoting in the audience.
Ling Zhaoting nodded, went upstairs under the gaze of everyone, and walked down with two boxes in his arms in less than two minutes.
Lu Youyou looked at the box containing the chessboard, and then looked at the jade box she brought back yesterday and smiled slightly.
After Ling Zhaoting came to the stage, she smiled and said, "Thank you." Then he opened Ling Zhaoting's jade box.
When the jadeite inside was revealed, others began to admire, and knowledgeable experts immediately knew the value of this jadeite.
Even if you don't know how to do it, when you see this large piece of uncarved jadeite, you know that it is worth a lot.
"This piece of jadeite is Zhao Tingxun who bought it back from abroad as a gift, I hope my grandfather can like it. She turned back to the old man and smiled.
The smile on the old man's face couldn't be concealed in an instant: "Of course I like it, your filial piety, of course grandpa likes it." ”
Seeing the old man's reaction, Wei Shuqian suddenly stomped her feet angrily, she tried hard to put away the smile on her face and said: "Sister-in-law and Brother Zhaoting are really good at preparation, you look at me, I only know how to send some mundane things." ”
Lu Youyou smiled reluctantly, but Ling Zhaoting didn't appreciate his face.
"It's just that sister-in-law didn't say that this gift was prepared by Brother Zhaoting, and what about the gift you prepared for grandpa?" she blinked innocently.
Lu Youyou suddenly just wanted to laugh. At first, she thought that Wei Shuqian's woman's plan had become clever, after all, she must have been prepared to do this series of things in public.
She glanced at Wei Shuqian and said lightly, "Sister, don't worry, isn't there another box?"
She smiled, didn't care what Wei Shuqian's reaction was, and walked directly to Ling Zhaoting and opened the box herself. When the crystal clear white jade chessboard in the box was revealed, others began to discuss the value of this chessboard.
"Grandpa has always had a hobby of playing chess, and I have little mind and can't think of any good gifts for grandpa, so I ordered this chessboard for grandpa, which can be regarded as a piece of my heart. ”
The old man looked at the chessboard in front of him, and his whole demeanor became extremely happy!
He has always liked to play chess, and there are many people who give him chessboards, all of which are high-end things, but he doesn't like them much, after all, they are all things that can be bought with some money, and even if those people don't give them to him, he has the ability to buy them himself.
However, the chessboard in front of me is obviously different from the chess pieces.
This chessboard is snow-white, and it casts a trace of crystal, giving people a kind of dazzling at first sight.
He reached out and touched the black chess piece, and there was a different feeling.
He couldn't help but look up at Lu Youyou and asked, "Is this also black jade?"
Lu Youyou shook her head under everyone's gaze: "No, grandpa, this is obsidian, the store where I ordered this told me that the effect of black jade is not as good as this obsidian, so I finally decided to use this." ”
The old man nodded, the joy on his face was even more, he patted Lu Youyou's hand and said earnestly: "I have a heart!"
Lu Youyou smiled slightly, and the whole person was very solemn and decent. provoked Wei Shuqian's resentment behind him.
"Next, everyone can enjoy this dance party to their heart's content!" Lu Youyou announced loudly.
So the three of them stepped down together, and as for Wei Shuqian behind them, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
When he stepped off the stage, the old man immediately turned to Wei Shuqian and said, "It's best to do your own thing, and don't give me any crooked thoughts." ”
Lu Youyou didn't speak, and Ling Zhaoting couldn't help her.
Wei Shuqian shut up, she thought that the old man's attitude towards him would improve a little, but now it seems that it is not possible.
"Is Grandpa too partial?" she asked directly.
The old man glanced at him: "You know in your heart whether I'm partial or not, don't do something that laughs off people's teeth!" After speaking, the old man snorted coldly and left.
Lu Youyou helped the old man back to the room first.
When he returned to the room, the old man looked at the chessboard and chess pieces given by Lu Youyou like a baby.
Lu Youyou couldn't help asking, "Grandpa likes it very much?"
The old man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's the first time for grandpa to see such a perfect chess piece! I thought about letting people customize it before, but I haven't taken action, Wanqing, thank you so much!"
"Grandpa, what's that? That's what I'm supposed to do, if you like it. She smiled slightly, the old man liked it. She was also very happy.
"I like it, I have a heart for you, unlike that little girl, who has a crooked mind, do you really think that I, an old man, am useless?"
Lu Youyou smiled faintly and did not speak.
When the two of them returned to the venue, Lu Youyou and the old man changed their clothes. Ling Zhaoting looked at Lu Youyou's light blue skirt and smiled at the men's shoes: "Good vision." ”
Lu Youyou smiled: "That skirt is too long, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to walk around." It's just that this shoe doesn't match this skirt very well, or Gauguin shoes are better. ”
Ling Zhaoting chuckled: "You're pregnant with a child and still want to wear high heels? I'll take you to buy it when the child is born." ”
Lu Youyou nodded, took his hand and began to negotiate.
Soon, after the banquet was over, Lu Youyou and Ling Zhaoting went back to the room to rest, and the old man also returned to the room early, as for Shi Xianyun, she just ran back when the banquet was about to end and got a gift saying that she had just come back from a business trip, and apologized to everyone.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that she must have done it on purpose, but no one dared to say anything. After all, it is the person who holds half of the shares of the Ling family, who dares to say anything?
However, the headline newspaper the next day still published the news of Shi Xianyun's late return, and some people on the Internet began to talk about it, and everyone was thinking about the Ling family.
This Shi Xianyun obviously wanted to give the Ling family a dismount, and wanted them to know that even if they didn't have Ling Fan, they would be able to gain a foothold in the Ling family.
As a result, there were rumors on the Internet that the child in Lu Youyou's belly would become a tool for Ling Zhaoting and Shi Xianyun to compete for the Ling family.
When she saw these words on the company's computer the next day, Lu Youyou only felt cold all over!
She is not afraid of these rumors, she is only afraid that Shi Xianyun will really feel the same way, and then do something to the child in her belly.
If she was in a hurry, she really desperately told Ling Zhaoting her identity, then all her plans would be ruined.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and I only felt my whole body trembling than I felt now.
And Shi Xianyun thought differently, she really wanted to expose Lu Youyou, but she thought of Ling Zhaoting's attitude towards Lu Youyou during this time.
That kind of attitude is obviously really love, even if he finally knows that Lu Youyou is not Youyou, then he will probably choose to forgive because of love, right?
Even if he won't forgive because of love, but the child in Lu Youyou's belly is indeed his, and Ling Zhaoting will probably forgive Lu Youyou because of the child at that time.
Even if he exposes it, it probably won't be of much use.
When the time comes, not only will Lu Youyou not be able to bring down Lu Youyou, but Lu Youyou will be able to say his own words, won't the gains outweigh the losses?
It seems that the only way now is to make Lu Youyou disappear! Only if she disappears into this world, or in Ling Zhaoting's world, can she take the Ling clan without worry, and when the time comes without the time bomb of Lu Youyou, she can do whatever she wants.
Thinking like this, Shi Xianyun's face also showed a smile.
So, all day long, Shi Xianyun was thinking about how to make Lu Youyou disappear.
When she returned home in the evening, when she saw Ling Zhaoting's concern for Lu Youyou, she immediately felt that her guess was not wrong.
Even if he finally exposed Lu Youyou, Ling Zhaoting would still choose to forgive because of the child in Lu Youyou's belly, after all, with Ling Zhaoting's past, sprinting would not let his child go his own way and grow up without his mother.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Xianyun went back to the room directly, looking at the cold room where she was alone, the cruelty in Shi Xianyun's eyes was exposed.
The next day, early in the morning, Lu Youyou went to the company with Ling Zhaoting, and as soon as she sat down, Xiao Lu came over with a newspaper.
"Wanqing, do you know the headlines on the front page of your class?" Xiao Lu said excitedly, flashing gossip cautiously.
Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment, then thought of the old man's birthday banquet announcing that she was pregnant, and nodded again: "I know." ”
As soon as Xiao Lu heard Lu Youyou say that he knew, he hurriedly said, "Wanqing, do you know what everyone said? And the baby in your belly." ”
Lu Youyou lowered her eyes, she had seen it yesterday, but she left after coming to the company for a while yesterday, so she didn't talk to Xiao Lu, so it's normal for Xiao Lu not to know.
"What do you say?" but she still planned to cooperate with Xiao Lu.
