"Grandpa, this is … the pen my uncle asked me to bring to you. I wish you happiness and good health."
Captain Li didn't show any emotion on his face. He smiled kindly and said, "I have one too. Haha, thank your uncle for me."
Since there was an order, gifts should be given from the oldest to the youngest.
Su Qianci saw his smile, and there was a trace of understanding in her beautiful eyes.
This pen was not a gift from her uncle, but her own.
When she was shopping with Tang Mengying, she saw it was very pretty and was persuaded by Tang Mengying to buy it. She spent more than a hundred thousand yuan and had not used it since.
However, not long after, Tang Mengying pointed it out and accused her of being wasteful, which caused her to be despised by everyone.
Now, she was going to take out the pen and "lie" in front of Tang Mengying.
According to her understanding of Tang Mengying …
"Hey …" Tang Mengying looked surprised and said, "Isn't this the pen I went with you to buy when I first came back? How did it become your uncle's? "
Just as she expected!
With Tang Mengying's personality, she would never sit back and do nothing.
However, Su Qianci was not afraid of being exposed. What she was afraid of was that Su Qianci would not expose her.
Su Qianci blushed and stammered.
Seeing this, Tang Mengying immediately said, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. It is just the packaging. It should not be the one you bought for a hundred thousand yuan, right?"
The one "bought" for a hundred thousand yuan "?
Hearing these words, Mrs. Li and Captain Li both frowned a little.
Su Qianci immediately shook her head. "How could it be a random one? I picked it out …" She quickly covered her mouth, regretting that she had let it slip.
Hearing that, Tang Mengying blamed her, "Su Qianci, why did you …"
She stopped in the middle of her sentence, but it gave people more room for imagination.
Su Qianci had to admit that this trick worked.
However, this was exactly what she wanted.
Su Qianci looked nervous and whispered, "I …"
Captain Li looked at Su Qianci and began to take the pen apart.
The pitch-black fountain pen felt cold and heavy in his hand. The pen head and the pen holder were inlaid with a little diamond, but it looked very elegant and low-key.
Captain Li smiled happily. "You have a good eye. Did you choose this?"
Su Qianci nodded with a blush and said, "This design looks ordinary, but in fact, it is very exquisite, low-key and luxurious. I think it suits grandpa very well, so I …"
He flattered Captain Li without batting an eyelid, and two more wrinkles appeared on his face.
"It's just a gift. Why did you use your uncle's name? You lied in front of so many people. If I didn't know better, I would think that the Li Family's daughter-in-law lacks discipline!" Mrs. Tang looked disgusted.
"Because I know that Grandpa is a very thrifty person. If he knew that I spent so much money on a pen for him, Grandpa would not be happy. So I simply pushed it to Uncle. Anyway, he would not know." She playfully stuck out her tongue and timidly looked up at Captain Li. "Grandpa, you won't be angry, right?"
