Chapter 3 Gift

Before entering the door, the man quickly reached out and held her small hand between his arms.

But before he could do it, Su Mian pulled it out again.

At this time, in the hall, there were countless people who sent birthday gifts to Mrs. Gu.

However, the old lady caught a glimpse of Su Mian.

"Moshen? Is this Mian? Come here and let me have a good look at you!"

Without saying a word, Mrs. Gu pulled Su Mian in front of her and smiled kindly at her.

Beside her, Mrs. Su, Gao Hui, and Su Qing, the daughter of the Su family, looked at each other secretly.

Su Qing and Su Mian were related.

They were half-sisters.

Gao Hui had always been thinking about the power of the Gu family.

She had worked so hard for ten years, in order to give her own daughter Su Qing the chance to marry into the Gu family.

But when the engagement was finally mentioned, Su Mian, the wild girl, came back!

Especially when she saw Su Mian's redneck look. She was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.

How could someone like Su Mian be worthy to compete with Su Qing for the engagement?

Fortunately, after she secretly winked at her, Su Qing immediately walked up to her and said with a sweet smile. "Is this my sister? Mom and I have been waiting for you at the airport today. I didn't expect that you would come to see grandaunt directly!"

Gao Hui pretended to nod and said. "Mian, you are a filial girl. You should also say hello to us. We are so worried about you..."

After saying that, before Su Mian opened her mouth, Gao Hui suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Gu again.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu. Su Mian has grown up in the countryside since she was a child. There are a lot of rules she doesn't quite understand."

"But don't worry. When we go back, I will teach her well and try my best to make sure she doesn't embarrass Mr. Gu!"

It was not a big deal to hear that, but everyone in the hall quieted down.

Gao Hui made it clear that Su Mian came here today because this country girl didn't even care about her family and just wanted to marry a rich man.

However, for so many years, in the upper-class circles of A City, Su Qing was the real Miss Su.

Besides, she was beautiful and graceful.

The more she stood with Su Mian, the more she showed the difference between them.

Even if Mrs. Gu was determined to choose this daughter-in-law, she would have to consider the dignity of the Gu family.

The next second, as expected, the old lady frowned and looked at Su Mian doubtfully.

But Su Mian lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed.

"Grandma... I..."

She was still stuttering when she spoke. Hearing that, Gu Moshen couldn't help but add the last sentence for her.

"Su Mian came here by train. How could the Su family pick her up at the airport?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady frowned more tightly.

"By train?"

Su Mian had no choice but to say. "Yes, I'm late... It's because the train is late..."

Everyone at the banquet was shocked.

"Anyway, Su Mian is still the daughter of the Su family. Even if she is not her biological daughter, Mrs. Su is too harsh on her!"

"Exactly. It's so far away. Doesn't Su Mian even have a passenger ticket?"

"Well, as the saying goes, with the stepmother, the real father becomes the stepfather!"

"Just looking at her dressing, Su Mian can't even catch up with Su Qing!"

"This girl has also suffered a lot..."

The crowd's discussion was not small, and Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of heartache.

"Ah. Are you tired, Mian? I'll ask Moshen to take you upstairs to rest later!"

Su Mian nodded.

She gave Gao Hui and Su Qing a cold and sarcastic look from a point of view that no one could see.

Gao Hui felt nervous!

She made a mistake!

She didn't expect that she would take the train here!

But...

Gao Hui clenched her fists, still unwilling to believe that even if she grew up in the countryside, how could she not afford an air ticket?

She gave her a resentful look and poked Su Qing secretly.

Getting the signal, Su Qing hurried to get close to Mrs. Gu again.

"Grandma, today is your birthday. Qing specially asked Mr. Zhen for a painting for you! Wish you a happy birthday!"

"By the way, grandma, Mr. Zhen also said that he was busy with the art exhibition these days. When he has time, he must come to visit grandma in person!"

With that, Su Qing held the painting in her hand and the scroll in the box slowly unfolded.

All of a sudden, all the people around her were attracted to her.

They stared at the painting in disbelief.

"Mr. Zhen? This is the real work of Mr. Zhen!"

"Oh my God! Mr. Zhen, every painting is worth at least ten million dollars. How could she give it to Mrs. Gu!"

"Su Qing is really a talented girl. She is so close to Mr. Zhen. Is it possible that she has taken him as her teacher?"

"This gift is Mr. Zhen handwritten, and is to congratulate the old lady like pine and cypress. Su Qing is so considerate!"

Zhen Ziju was good at Chinese painting.

Although he had a weird temper, his artistic attainments were high, and the people who wanted to buy his paintings could still rank from A City to abroad.

However, this person always drew by feeling, and he rarely gave his paintings away.

Therefore, as soon as Su Qing took out this painting, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even the old lady nodded slightly.

Seeing this scene, Su Qing's eyes flashed with a trace of complacency. She turned to look at Gu Moshen.

At this moment, Gu Moshen happened to be staring at the painting.

He had been admiring Zhen Ziju for a long time, so he wouldn't let go of the chance to watch his real work at a close distance.

But at this moment, Su Mian suddenly stammered.

"You... You have no taste! This painting, it's... it's fake!"

The man was stunned and stopped.

Poor taste... Was she talking about him?

Su Mian stared at the painting with obvious disdain in her eyes.

She had learned painting from Zhen Ziju for so many years. Every time she wanted something, he was always frivolous.

As for Su Qing, she didn't believe that the old man could take a look at her!

Besides, she remembered that this painting was thrown into the warehouse by her grandfather last time. How could it appear here?

"What are you talking about?"

Hearing her words, Su Qing came over with a smile.

The country girl wanted to make a fool of herself, she would have to seize the opportunity.

But Su Mian was not scared at all. Her pink lips opened and closed.

"I say... your painting..."

In the middle of her words, Gu Moshen suddenly coughed.

Su Qing paused and looked up at Mrs. Gu, she looked at Su Mian warmly and lovingly.

Su Mian hesitated.

On such a good day, if she told the truth to make trouble, Mrs. Gu would be embarrassed, wouldn't she?

Fortunately, at this time, Gu Moshen took the initiative to mediate for her.

"Su Mian wants to say that this painting... is a little interesting."

After saying that, the man pulled the corner of Su Mian's clothes and motioned her to sit down first.

But Su Qing didn't give up and asked again.

"By the way, you have come from so far away to see grandma. I guess you must have come here for her birthday?"

"I wonder what kind of gift you have prepared for grandma. Can you take it out and let us all see what it is?"

As soon as Su Mian came in, Su Qing noticed her dress and the broken bag in her hand.

What kind of good thing could that thing contain? Maybe it was just a piece of junk!

How dare Su Mian say something like that!

Su Qing had made up her mind to humiliate this country girl today!

Sure enough, after she asked, Su Mian was stunned.

To be honest, before she came here, she really didn't know that today was Mrs. Gu's birthday.

She didn't prepare any gifts.

"I..."

Perceiving that the opportunity had come, Gao Hui immediately stepped forward to mediate the dispute.

"Look at you! Mian is just a little girl. She only remembers Mr. Gu. Maybe she just forgot that today is Mrs. Gu's birthday!"
