Chapter 77 – Where Is Luo Luo’s Gift?
Edited by Effe
Xing Luo walked to the front of Mu Hanqi and smiled, “May grandpa stay as healthy every year and may you live a long and happy life.”
Yan Yiren smiled sweetly, “I wish grandpa good fortune as boundless as the East China Sea and life as long as the South Mountain(on Hainan Island)!”
[TN: According to legend, drinking water from the East China Sea brings good fortune, and people living on the South Mountain lived longer and healthier lives. This phrase is often used as a blessing for the elderly, wishing them a long and abundant life.]
“Good! Good!” Mu Hanqi nodded in satisfaction.
“Luo Luo really is getting more and more beautiful!”
An old madam walked to Xing Luo’s side.
This was her paternal grandmother, Fang Linzhi.
“After four years abroad, you must have suffered a lot! To be able to achieve so much, my granddaughter is truly outstanding!”
Fang Linzhi had been busy entertaining the guests and only came over when she saw Xing Luo walking over. Everyone was complimenting Xing Luo making Fang Linzhi filled with joy and pride.
Xing Luo smiled and said, “This is all thanks to grandma’s blessing.”
“This girl! Your mouth is really sweet!”
Fang Linzhi smiled from ear to ear. As for Yan Yiren who was standing at the side, she had been completely ignored.
Towards this child that came from a mistress, Fang Linzhi actually did not have any good impression on her(YYR).
Yan Yiren gritted her teeth as her heart was steaming with jealousy. However, she still maintained a natural and graceful attitude on the surface. At this moment, the family servant came over with a telescoping cylindrical storage case and passed it over to Yan Yiren.
“Grandpa, quickly come and have a look! This is the gift that I have prepared for you!”
Yan Yiren passed the gift over to Mu Hanqi.
He opened the case and took out a scroll.
He opened it slowly …..
It was a Chinese painting! With flowers and birds!
Everyone gathered around Mu Hanqi to have a look….
“This painting……was Master Li En’s work!”
“Yan Yiren is really thoughtful, Li En is one of the most well-known painters in our country! His paintings were very rare and hard to find!”
“I saw this painting at an auction not too long ago, and someone bought it for more than a million yuan!”
“I really envy you, Old Master Mu. You have such a filial and sensible granddaughter!”
Mu Hanqi had always liked to collect antiques, calligraphy and Chinese paintings! This gift by Yan Yiren was exactly what he liked!
Mu Hanqi held the painting in his hands while admiring it. He was very satisfied, “Hahaha, this painting was really painted very well. Yiren, you are really very thoughtful. Grandpa really likes your gift!”
“As long as grandpa likes it then it’s good!” Yan Yiren smiled shyly, then she looked at Xing Luo triumphantly.
“By the way, Luo Luo, where is your gift? Quickly show it to grandpa so he can be happy! Huh? Luo Luo, why are you empty-handed? You…..Have you forgotten to prepare a gift?”
With those words, Yan Yiren successfully shifted everyone’s attention onto Xing Luo.
“Why is Xing Luo empty-handed? Has she really forgotten about the gift?”
“She actually didn’t prepare a gift for the Old Master for such a significant day? This is too much! She actually doesn’t care about the Old Master! And to think that I even praised her for being so outstanding last time!”
Hearing those words, Mu Hanqi and Fang Linzhi looked at their own granddaughter, Xing Luo. Even if Xing Luo really did forget to prepare any gift like what everyone said, they would not blame her. It was just that, they would inevitably feel somewhat disappointed.
Xing Luo continued to maintain her elegant and calm posture, “Yiren-jie, you really know how to joke. How could I forget to prepare a gift for such an important matter as grandpa’s 70th big birthday? I already asked someone to go and get it.”
As soon as she finished saying those words, a servant came over with an easel. There was a painting on the easel but it was covered with a black cloth.
Yan Yiren frowned. Where did Xing Luo get her gift from? Moreover, it was also a painting? Didn’t this mean that she had the same gift as her?
However, it was impossible for that painting to be better than her gift!
Li En was the most famous master in the country! She did not believe that Xing Luo would be able to take out a painting with the same calibre!
At the end of the day, Xing Luo was still not a match for her.
“Grandpa, see if you like it or not,” Xing Luo said with a smile.
Mu Hanqi unveiled the black cloth……
When the painting was clearly presented in plain sight to everyone, the audience instantly became quiet……
