Chapter 295: She's a Little Woman Too
"Mrs. Lu's shot must be of great value, Mrs. Shen might as well open it quickly, let us also take a look." Mrs. Gu said with interest.
Under the expectation of everyone, Li Ning opened the gift box, and what was contained inside seemed to be a painting, because it was wrapped in paper, so it was impossible to see the inside.
"Is this a painting?" Mrs. Huang asked.
Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, only smiled and motioned for Li Ning to continue dismantling.
Then Li Ning carefully opened the outer paper little by little, and it was indeed a painting.
And when Li Ning saw this painting, he was speechless in surprise.
None of the people present knew the painting, let alone which painter the painting was from, but Li Ning was very clear.
"Mrs. Lu, how did you have this painting?" Li Ning asked in surprise.
Seeing Li Ning's surprised and surprised look, Mrs. Lu knew that she must like it, and said with a smile: "I heard you say I liked it that day, so I thought of buying it for you." ”
Mrs. Lu's words are simple, as if it is just a trivial matter to spend some money.
"I like it so much, and I know that this painting will not come easily. Thank you very much. With that, Li Ning stepped forward and gently hugged Mrs. Lu to express her gratitude.
"It's serious, as long as you like it." Mrs. Lu patted Li Ning's hand and smiled amiably.
This painting is not from a famous painter, but from a very niche, very low-yielding young painter, because this painter is not famous, so the price of the paintings sold at that time is very low, but there are art dealers, who take a fancy to his paintings, buy them and auction them at a high price.
Li Ning also saw this painting at a small auction house, but it was bought by someone else for some reason, and later wanted to buy it back, but the person refused to sell it.
Originally, it was just a painting, but for some reason, this painting has always been hard to forget in Li Ning's mind, and when I chatted with Mrs. Lu that day, I couldn't help but talk about it.
But Li Ning didn't expect Mrs. Lu to take these small talk words to heart, and she found this painting for her in such a short time, so Li Ning was very surprised.
It's like when you see something you like, and if you can't pocket it, you keep thinking about it.
"Mrs. Lu has given a lot of money, but we can't get these small gifts." A socialite joked.
"I don't care about the weight of the gift, as long as the heart arrives." Having said that, Mrs. Huang gave Li Ning a gift for the second time.
Li Ning hadn't opened it yet, and other people's gifts had also been sent over one after another, all of which were packed with bags, occupying the position of the bar.
Li Ning, who was originally just polite, couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw so many gifts.
Haruka remembers that when she was very young, every time she had a birthday, she would receive a mountain of gifts, colorful packaging and paper, tied with surprises.
And since Li Ning's mother died, she has never celebrated her birthday seriously, and she has never received so many gifts.
No matter how light or heavy the contents of these bags were, they were enough to make Li Ning raise the corners of his lips from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you very much, I will cherish these gifts, and they will become my first and most important warm memories of joining the Peony Club." Li Ning sincerely thanked everyone.
After receiving the gift, it is time to toast.
At first, Li Ning thought it was a form of everyone toasting together, but later she found that she thought it was too beautiful.
Toast is for every old member to toast the new member.
In other words, even if Li Ning only takes one sip, it will add up to a lot.
Mrs. Lu knew that Li Ning's alcohol consumption was not high, because she proposed that everyone use champagne, which made Li Ning grateful.
After that, the party lasted until the evening before it dispersed, and Mrs. Lu originally wanted to arrange someone to send Li Ning back to the hotel, but Shen Muzhi was already prepared, so Assistant Li arranged a driver, waited outside early, and then directly sent Li Ning back to the hotel.
In the hotel room, the gifts Li Ning received were full of coffee tables, she changed into casual sportswear, sat directly on the carpet and began to open the gifts.
Shen Muzhi returned to the hotel and saw that Li Ning was not in the room, so he went to her room and knocked on the door.
When Li Ning came to open the door for Shen Muzhi, she seemed very happy to see her smiling face.
Previously, Li Ning told Shen Muzhi about Mrs. Lu's invitation, after all, in this foreign country, there are only people Shen Muzhi can trust.
When Shen Muzhi learned about this, he thought that even if Li Ning was not unhappy, he should have to go for entertainment.
But the smile on Li Ning's face at this moment was obviously not what he thought.
"What's the good thing?" Shen Muzhi was let in by Li Ning and asked at the same time.
Without waiting for Li Ning to answer, Shen Muzhi saw the things piled up on the coffee table.
Paper bags of the same color and wrapping paper of the same style, while on the other side are all kinds of small ornaments.
There was only one diamond earring, bracelet, necklace, ring, and a women's cigarette case lighter, and so on, but there was only one thing that was supposed to be a pair.
"What are these?" Shen Muzhi felt strange.
Li Ning smiled and handed a jewelry box to Shen Muzhi.
"Peony will be a brooch." Shen Muzhi opened it and recognized it at a glance.
"Mrs. Lu invited me into the Peony Club. These are given by members as commemorative gifts. Li Ning still said with a smile.
Speaking of these gifts he received, Li Ning's smile couldn't help but look a little smug, and Shen Muzhi suddenly felt in his heart when he saw this.
It turned out that Li Ning was in such a good mood because of the reason he received the gift.
I have to say that this answer surprised Shen Muzhi a little.
Because in his opinion, Li Ning, who is known for his pragmatism, can give himself everything he wants. So it's not like an ordinary little woman, who rejoices at a little gift.
But looking at it now, he obviously thought wrong again, and wanted to say that after Li Ning took off the all-powerful armor coat on his body, he was just a little cute little woman, so simple that he would be full of joy for a little gift.
"How?" Seeing that Shen Muzhi didn't speak, Li Ning asked.
Shen Muzhi smiled lightly, "Being able to enter the Peony Club is very beneficial to you." It's just that I didn't expect that you and Mrs. Lu have only known each other for a few days, and she introduced you to the Peony Club. You must know that many noble ladies and celebrities with noble status also befriended Mrs. Lu just for this matter, but they may not be able to join the club. ”
Li Ning smiled, put the brooch away and put it aside, "This is not relying on the status of husband and wife with you, if it weren't for the four words of the Shen Group, how would they know who I am." ”
