Meng Tianxiang was very unhappy with Zhou Bing's attitude, but Xue Chunlan's attitude made him see the hope of being a beauty. Meng Tianxiang knew what kind of person Xue Chunlan was, and he also knew that in the Zhou family, the right to speak was in the hands of Professor Xue, as long as Xue Chunlan did not approve of Guo Yang, the marriage between Zhou Bing and Guo Yang was a joke.

Therefore, Meng Tianxiang's bit of shame and jealousy was relieved. His expression was more relaxed, more gentle, and more respectful to Xue Chunlan.

Xue Chunlan greeted the guests while throwing a helpless glance at her daughter in annoyance. Zhou Bing's attitude was so resolute that she couldn't have a seizure in front of a group of distinguished guests, so she had to acquiesce to Zhou Bing holding Guo Yang's hand and walking side by side, and sat down on Meng Tianxiang's side.

Vice Mayor Song, who had a majestic face, looked at Zhou Bing and smiled gently: "Old Zhou, your Xiaoice is getting more and more beautiful, who is this young man?"

In fact, many people are secretly looking at Guo Yang.

It's no wonder that everyone is paying attention, Zhou Bing has been holding Guo Yang's hand tightly, even if he is sitting there, he has not let go, and the gentle color on his beautiful face is overflowing. Fools can see that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, I'm afraid it's boyfriend and girlfriend.

Guo Yang had the heart to break free of Zhou Bing's little hand, but he knew that Zhou Bing's heart was very nervous at the moment, and her heartstrings were tensed, she was afraid that her mother would embarrass her, and she was worried that she would be angry because of Xue Chunlan's cold gaze, so she was in a dilemma.

Zhou Bing got up with a smile, just about to introduce Guo Yang, but was preempted by Xue Chunlan: "Mayor Song, this is Xiaoice's college classmate, and I happened to meet it by chance when I came to play today." ”

Vice Mayor Song sighed, smiled, and did not delve further.

Zhou Bing was stunned, and was about to say something, but Guo Yang took her hand and motioned for her to sit down and be restless.

Meng Tianxiang took a deep breath, the corner of his eyes swept over the intimate Zhou Bing and Guo Yang, the jealousy in the depths of his eyes burned, he forcibly suppressed all kinds of discomfort, bent down and took a beautifully packaged box from under his feet, put it on the table, opened it and said with a respectful smile: "Teacher Xue, today you have a big birthday, this is a Xuande blue and white dragon pattern lotus petal bowl that I auctioned from the Hong Kong and Kowloon auction, and I give it to you as a birthday gift!"

Xue Chunlan sighed and took it in surprise, she is a cultural person, and what she likes is works of art such as books and antiques.

A blue and white porcelain antique and beautiful lotus petal bowl appeared in everyone's field of vision, although Xue Chunlan is a historian, but for antiques, especially porcelain, she did not have too deep research, she carefully picked up the lotus petal bowl to look at, and then handed it to the other guests next to him to play.

The VIPs at the long table watched and admired the lotus petal bowl, and the admiration was endless. Xue Chunlan was even more happy, and her eyes looking at Meng Tianxiang were full of praise. A lotus petal bowl in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the market price should be around tens of thousands of yuan, although tens of thousands of yuan is nothing to the Zhou family, but Meng Tianxiang can give antiques as birthday gifts, at least it shows his respect for Xue Chunlan and the importance he attaches to her birthday.

Meng Tianxiang's triumph was hidden deeply. But Guo Yang was next to him and could see it clearly. Guo Yang shook his head secretly, when he saw this lotus petal bowl just now, he could see at a glance that it was a fake, a modern imitation, a hundred yuan is too much. But Guo Yang didn't want to break this point in public, one is that Meng Tianxiang may not know that this is a fake, the antique market is full of mud and sand, and people who spend a lot of money to buy imitations are everywhere, and Meng Tianxiang is not the only one;

"There are grooves on the outer wall, ridges on the inner wall, flower mouths, deep bottoms, thick carcass, bright glaze, unique shape, it is really a rare treasure. Professor Xue, it's really heartfelt that your students are so spending. Zhou Dingnan's friend, Tang Genshui, the owner of a cultural communication company from the provincial capital, praised it in an expert tone, and handed the lotus petal bowl to Feng Qi, the young female director of the city TV station City Channel next to him.

Everyone knows Feng Qi's family history, his father Mr. Feng Yuanliang is one of the most prestigious cultural relics identification experts in China, a special consultant of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, under the influence of his father, Feng Qi has made unique achievements in cultural relics identification and cultural artwork collection, as long as Feng Qi said that it is genuine, the matter will be settled.

But Feng Qi took it quietly, only glanced at it, and put it back into the box noncommittally.

Guo Yang is very familiar with Feng Qi, and the two have been doing treasure appreciation programs on the same TV station for several years in the future. Guo Yang knew that he could tell that it was a fake, let alone Feng Qi. But obviously, on the current occasion, it was too impolite and inappropriate to point out the gifts carefully prepared by Meng Tianxiang as fakes, Feng Qi just smiled and nodded, without expressing any opinion.

It was originally a happy scene, but Meng Tianxiang's public gift was just a pretense, and humiliating Guo Yang was the goal, how could he give up.

He turned his head to look at Guo Yang and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, Teacher Xue has his birthday today, what kind of gift do you give, take it out and let us open our eyes." ”

Meng Tianxiang knew Guo Yang's family background, what kind of decent gift could a young reporter from a poor family who had just graduated come from? And seeing him empty-handed, he was completely unprepared.

Hearing Meng Tianxiang take the initiative to make trouble, Zhou Bing's heart tightened. She knew that Guo Yang didn't bring a gift, but she didn't mind, of course this thing was good, and if it didn't have it, it didn't mean anything.

But Meng Tianxiang asked in public, which still made Zhou Bing feel a little embarrassed. Guo Yang smiled, looked back at Meng Tianxiang under the gaze of everyone and said: "I'm just a little reporter, not like Mr. Meng, who is rich and rich, and the gifts he prepared can't be put on the table, so I'm still not ugly, right?"

Coming to Xue Chunlan's birthday party today, Guo Yang is naturally prepared. Xue Chunlan may not care about what birthday gift Guo Yang gives, but Guo Yang can't help but express it. Otherwise, he just didn't understand etiquette, which made Xue Chunlan's disgust for him even deeper.

Meng Tianxiang smiled hypocritically and suspiciously, and a pair of small eyes narrowed into a line because of the hypocritical smile: "Brother Guo is polite, as long as you are sincere, the gift is not expensive or cheap, it is all our intention to be a junior, isn't it?"

Don't look at Meng Tianxiang smiling, in fact, there is a needle hidden in the cotton, and he doesn't leave Guo Yang with any room for aggressiveness. Zhou Bing was furious, and was about to open his mouth to refute Meng Tianxiang for a few words, but Guo Yang held his hand tightly.

A trace of anger grew in Guo Yang's heart, but the expression on his face became calmer, and he asked rhetorically: "Of course, as long as it is sincere, any gift is a heart." However, everyone has their own intentions, and there is no need to show anything in public, Mr. Meng said, didn't he?"

Meng Tianxiang was condescending and forced too tightly, Guo Yang was silent and witty, these two young people were talking and laughing in public, and I blocked the move, and the other distinguished guests were also happy to watch the excitement.

If Meng Tianxiang didn't deceive people too much, Guo Yang wouldn't bother to care about the shortcomings and strengths of his face, it would be meaningless. But Meng Tianxiang had to slam his head with a pot of, how could Guo Yang be the master of holding his breath?

Xue Chunlan frowned, and Zhou Dingnan tugged at her arm, signaling that it was best for her not to intervene, as long as the situation did not get out of control, she might as well wait and see what happened.
