Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Don't Know What Gift You Have for Grandma
The person sitting on the right hand side of Old Man Cheng should have been Cheng Rongshan, but because Cheng Rongshan was not there now, he was replaced by Qiao Zhengyu.
Cheng Yuan should sit next to Qiao Zhengyu, Cheng Ran wanted to sit next to Cheng Yuan, but Cheng Ruan didn't want to get too close to Cheng Ran.
In this way, Cheng Ruan's right hand side became Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Ruan and Mrs. Cheng have been in a very unpleasant quarrel these days, Mrs. Cheng doesn't look at Cheng Ruan with a straight eye, and Cheng Ruan is happy to be quiet when she doesn't exist.
-
At the beginning of the banquet, many guests came to congratulate Mrs. Cheng on her birthday.
Most people can't do without Cheng Yuan and Qiao Zhengyu, Qiao Zhengyu's expression has been cold and indifferent, obviously not interested in this kind of flattering occasion.
But Cheng Kite is different, the illusion given to her by today's guests makes her think that she is the eldest lady of the Cheng family. And Cheng Ruan, who was shrinking in the corner and eating silently, was completely trampled on the soles of her feet.
Cheng Ruan noticed Cheng Kite's gaze, but she didn't look up, at this time, Cheng Ran, who was sitting next to Cheng Kite, moved, and Cheng Ruan raised her eyes to glance at Cheng Ran.
This is the first time she has looked at Cheng Ran since entering the venue.
Cheng Ran wore a high-necked dress today, and it was obvious that she was pinched out of her neck and the injury was not healed.
Cheng Ran didn't know why, she stood up from her seat awkwardly, and after the guests looked at her in surprise, she suddenly woke up to her and began to be jealous of Cheng Yuan and even wanted to steal Cheng Yuan's limelight.
Cheng Ran didn't have the same experience as Cheng Kite, and she was flustered, afraid that others would see through the shamelessness in her heart.
Almost hurriedly found out the birthday gift she wanted to give to Mrs. Cheng, tried her best to hide the unnaturalness of her expression, pulled out a smile, and dedicated the birthday gift to Mrs. Cheng: "Grandma, this is my birthday gift to you, Ran Ran wishes you happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, smile often, and all wishes come true." β
Because the gift was not big, Cheng Ran took it with him.
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, what a good child." β
Old Madam Cheng smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face were crowded together, but the old man Cheng beside her was like an outsider, and the scene under Chenghuan's knees was very cold.
Qiao Zhengyu didn't react either.
Cheng Ruan saw through the little Jiujiu in Cheng Ran's heart, but she was too lazy to pierce it.
Since Cheng Ran provoked this, Cheng Yuan also asked someone to bring over the gift he prepared for Mrs. Cheng.
At today's banquet, Cheng Yuan and Qiao Zhengyu were the focus of many banquet guests.
As soon as Cheng Yuan took the gift, it attracted the attention of many people, and they all wanted to see what kind of birthday gift Cheng Yuan would give to Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Kite also lived up to expectations, giving a gift to make it mysterious, and there were many layers of packaging inside and out.
Before the last layer was opened, Cheng Yuan smiled at everyone, and looked like a lady of everyone, "Grandma, I wish you a prosperous sun and moon, a long pine crane, a long and a long life than Nanshan." β
After the words fell, Cheng Yuan opened the last layer of the gift box.
The crowd almost held their breath with their necks in mind.
"Relicβ"
"It turned out to be a relic......
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Mrs. Cheng also enlarged her eyes slightly, she hadn't seen relics, but the relics like the ones brought to her by Cheng Yuan were bright in color and pure in color, and it was really rare to see such a finished product.
"Miss Cheng is really filial."
At first, some people praised Cheng Kite, calling Miss Cheng instead of Miss Cheng Er.
"Thank you, Iris, grandma loves your gift."
Cheng Yuan smiled decently, "If you like it, it's fine." β
Cheng Ran watched many guests revolving around Cheng Ruan on the side, feeling a little uncomfortable, her eyes swept and fell on Cheng Ruan, "Hey, Cheng Ruan, I don't know what gift you prepared for grandma?" β
As soon as Cheng Ran's words came out, for some reason, the atmosphere present instantly fell silent.
Even Qiao Zhengyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Ruan.
Cheng Ruan, who had just sandwiched a small plate of dishes for himself: "......"
She could only put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat in a serious way, and gave everyone a preventive shot: "It's not a precious thing." β
After saying that, she asked the person who had arranged it to bring her the gift.
Cheng Ruan is not like Cheng Kite, he has to be tricky to give a gift.
The string of golden silk nanmu bracelets, she put in the most ordinary wooden box. In fact, it's not that Cheng Ruan wants to be so low-key, it's just that the packaging box sent by Gu Shaosui was lost by her and she didn't know where to throw it.
Cheng Ruan took it from the waiter's hand, put it on the table casually, and stretched out two fingers to lift the wooden cover.
A string of round and warm golden silk nanmu Buddha beads was exposed to everyone's eyes.
After seeing what was inside, the scene was silent.
How so......
It's not that the Buddha beads of golden silk nanmu are not precious, but they are not as amazing as the relics.
Cheng Ran almost burst out laughing, and did not hide the ridicule on his face: "Cheng Ruan, will you give grandma such a thing?" You...... Are you going to use this to fool grandma? β
"Rising ......"
Fang Shuqi hurriedly tugged Cheng Ran's arm, interrupted her words, and shook his head at her.
But Cheng Ran's behavior of making his family unable to get off the stage has fallen into the eyes of Old Man Cheng.
Old Man Cheng's cold gaze swept in the direction of Cheng Ran silently.
On the other hand, Cheng Yuan knew that Cheng Ruan's living expenses were cut off, she guessed that Cheng Ruan couldn't come up with anything good, but she didn't expect it to be such a cheap golden silk nanmu Buddha bead.
There were also a few sighs in the guest seats.
Mrs. Cheng's good mood dissipated most of the time, and at an angle that the guests couldn't notice, she almost gritted her teeth and glared at Cheng Ruan, only to feel that Cheng Ruan was deliberately trying to embarrass her today.
In the face of many repercussions, Cheng Ruan didn't even have a superfluous expression.
"I think it......" Cheng Yuan came out to play the round with a fake look, "Ruan Ruan's mind can be reached, although this golden silk nanmu Buddha bead is not a precious thing, but I believe that grandma still likes it very much." β
With Cheng Ruan as a comparison, everyone instantly felt that Cheng Kite was more like everyone.
Cheng Yuan also enjoyed everyone's praising eyes with peace of mind.
Cheng Ruan's expression was innocent, and she quietly took in everyone's reactions, she chuckled, stretched out two fingers and snapped the lid of the wooden box.
She picked up the wooden box and tapped it twice on the table.
Everyone didn't know what her abnormal behavior was, but most of them had heard of her reputation outside, thinking that she had been disgraced, and they were unhappy and wanted to be mad on the spot.
Realizing this, many guests chose to take a small step back, afraid that Cheng Ruan would go crazy and not recognize people.
But Cheng Ruan did not react as they expected.
Cheng Ruan just put away the golden silk nanmu Buddha beads and held them in his hand, then tilted his head to look at Mrs. Cheng and said to her: "Grandma, I kindly bought the treasure collection for you as a birthday gift, why are you unhappy......
The expression is innocent, and there is still a little grievance in the tone of listening.
Everyone was at a loss, was this really the arrogant and rude Cheng Ruan in the rumors?
"Treasures?" Cheng Ran didn't take the lesson, nor did she accept Fang Shuqi's discipline, she was determined to slap Cheng Ruan's face and poke her in public, "Don't you have long eyes and no knowledge when we are?" This kind of golden silk nanmu Buddha beads can be bought online casually. β
Many of the guests did not speak, but observing their reactions, it can be seen that they obviously agree with Cheng Ran's words.
"Cheng Ruan, you usually lie a lot at home, why are you so shameless in front of so many guests."
After speaking, Cheng Ran raised his chin proudly, and when his gaze swept over the faces of many guests, he inadvertently met Old Man Cheng's sharp and cold gaze.
