280 Gifts
Fortunately, Grandfather Wei wasnât interested in these things. When someone handed them over, he just smiled and took them. Then, he handed them to the servant beside him and instructed the servant to put away the gifts properly.
After everyone had given the gifts, only Su Meng was left. Grandfather Wei said a few words of thanks and was about to let everyone eat when Wei Xue suddenly spoke with a smile.
âSister Su Meng, why donât you give Grandpa the gift you prepared for him? You prepared this for a long time. Could it be that youâre embarrassed and donât want to give it anymore?â
Wei Xueâs words came out of nowhere. Su Meng looked at Wei Xue and didnât say anything. The others also looked at Wei Xue.
Being stared at by so many people, Wei Xue didnât panic in the slightest. She wasnât the same as that idiot Xiao Xiao. She was reminding Su Meng with valid reasons and didnât make things difficult for her. Besides, as a junior, she should have given gifts to her elders, so Wei Xueâs reminder wasnât excessive.
!!
Therefore, Wei Xue stood straight as if she was really concerned about Su Meng.
The reason why she reminded Su Meng was because she had stolen the small box when Su Meng was not paying attention. Of course, there was no other reason for stealing the box. She just wanted to see Su Meng make a fool of herself.
As for the things in the box, she had not had the time to look at them. After the birthday banquet ended, she would find a place where no one was around to sneak a peek. Right now, the most important thing was that she wanted to see Su Meng make a fool of herself.
Everyone had given Grandfather Wei a gift, and Su Meng was protected by Grandfather Wei in such a way. In addition, she was the young madam of the Wei family in name. If she didnât give him a gift, she would definitely be laughed at.
Everyone present looked at Su Meng quietly. At this moment, their thoughts were the same as Wei Xueâs. Looking at how Grandfather Wei was defending Su Meng just now, if Su Meng didnât prepare a gift, then she would be too unfilial.
âGirl Meng has already given me a big gift. As for what it is, I wonât tell you guys for now. If she gives it again, then it would be too heavy. This old man isnât that greedy.â Grandfather Wei saw Su Meng standing there motionlessly, so he spoke out to help her out.
But Wei Xue didnât intend to let her off. Instead, she continued, âGrandpa, you donât know. In order to be able to visit you, Sister Su Meng spent a lot of effort to prepare a gift for you. Even my brother helped her. I saw it from the side. Isnât that right, Sister Su Meng? If you donât give it to Grandpa, wonât the gift be wasted?â
âOf course. She may have already given you a gift, but she specially prepared another gift. And I think that gift isnât simple. It looks very expensive.â
Wei Xue smiled and pretended to be kind as she reminded her. She also acted very curious, âSister-in-law, youâre not thinking of secretly giving it to Grandpa, are you? Or are you just not willing to show it to us? But, Sister-in-law, I know youâre not such a stingy person. I see that everyone here is very curious. Why donât you satisfy our curiosity?â
Su Meng looked at Wei Xue for a while and suddenly smiled. How could she not know that Wei Xue wanted to see her make a fool of herself?
âYouâre quite active. Thank you for your reminder.â As Su Meng said that, she reached into her pocket to look for something. But just as she reached in, Su Mengâs expression immediately changed because she found that the pocket was empty.
Su Meng said anxiously, âHey, I remember I put the thing in my pocket. How could I not have it?â
When Wei Xue saw this, she felt even happier, but she did not show it on the surface. She pretended to be concerned and said, âAiya, that was a gift that Brother Wei Ting personally prepared for Grandpa. Sister-in-law, how could you lose it? If Brother Wei Ting finds out, wonât he be very angry? But itâs okay, Sister-in-law. Iâll help you speak up for Brother Wei Ting and try to make him not blame you.â
Su Mengâs anxiety seemed to be perfunctory, as if she was deliberately making such an expression. In fact, she was indeed faking it, but Wei Xue believed it.
She thought that Su Meng was really anxious because of the loss of the gift, so she slowly opened her mouth. âSister-in-law, you really are something. You didnât prepare a gift yourself, and you even lost the gift that Brother Wei Ting prepared for you. Fortunately, I discovered it early, so I could still think of a way to help you talk to my brother.â
When the guests present heard Wei Xueâs words, they really thought that Su Meng didnât think of preparing a gift for Grandfather Wei. The good impression that had just risen because of her identity instantly disappeared.
No matter what, if a person really cared about another person, they would not forget to prepare a gift. Not only did Su Meng not prepare a gift herself, she even lost the gift that Wei Ting had prepared for her. This was too useless.
