Chapter 207: Slap in the face
Lin Ye nodded.
Chen Yuyan knew that Zhou Suihuai had some preference for Bian Zhi, so she quickly signaled to Lin Rushang with her eyes to encourage her to ask what the gift was.
Don't just quietly send some junk and overshadow her 750,000.
Lin Rushuang naturally understood.
She smiled and said in a high-pitched voice, "Hey—" with feigned curiosity, "So what exactly was the gift? How big was it? I didn't see any new or unusual gadgets at the scene. A gift from the Lin family's only daughter must be something new and exciting, and it's meant to broaden our horizons."
Everyone was also curious and agreed: "Yes, yes, what kind of key is this? I have never seen it before. What car key is this?"
One of them said, "It looks like a heavy motorcycle, but Zhou Suihuai doesn't ride a motorcycle, right?"
Someone else said, "Is it some gadget, a little prop key? Isn't it one of those little props you see on the street where a key opens and a scary clown pops out?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
"How is it possible?" Lin Rushuang said gently, as if she was upset at someone's insolence. "How could someone as prestigious as Bian Zhi give such an impolite gift as a small prop? I think it must be a unique gift, not a real house, right?"
"If it really is a gift of a million-dollar house, then we really can't compare."
"Ouch—" Lin Rushuang covered her mouth and picked up Chen Yuyan's sparkling cufflinks again. "If it's really a million-dollar house, then our sister Yuyan is really more thoughtful. Who would spend so much money on such a small cufflink? How much does she value Master Zhou's birthday to spend so much money?"
Lin Rushuang looks gentle and not as sharp as Chen Yuyan.
As soon as she said this, before Bian Zhi even took out his gift, everyone felt the difference in quality and nodded.
"Yes, those cufflinks are worth 750,000, which is really a lot of money."
"Yes, it's thoughtful after all. What's more, Bian Zhi didn't even come to the scene. It's a pity that when Bian Zhi first took over the Central Hospital, Zhou Suihuai went to help."
"Who says it's not? Besides, tell me, how much is Chen Yuyan worth? She gave a gift worth 750,000. Bian Zhi is the only daughter of the Lin family, but she can't give a gift worth a million. In comparison, she is indeed not as thoughtful as Chen Yuyan, and she is letting Zhou Suihuai down."
“…”
For a time, public opinion was one-sided.
Lin Ye sneered. These people are just well-fed and idle, and they believe everything they hear.
He raised his chin and met Zhou Suihuai's eyes, "Brother, your yard is big enough, right? I'll bring Bian Zhi's gift over and let everyone see it."
Zhou Suihuai smiled, "Does she agree?"
Lin Ye no longer cared about being low-key or reserved. He opened his hand and was eager to try. "Give me the key. The thing is in the backyard of Bian Zhi's house. It's not far from here. I'll get it for you. I just want to satisfy my desire to touch it."
Zhou Suihuai was about to say that he would go too, but someone threw the key in his hand into Lin Ye's hand.
Zhou Suihuai was displeased. He looked up and met Zhou Guotao's stern gaze. "I drove it over to you. Why are you in such a hurry? There are so many guests here. You are the star of the night. How can you leave?"
Lin Ye also smiled, "Uncle Zhou, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, Zhou Suihuai, I will get it to you carefully and make sure I don't break it."
After saying that, Lin Ye ran away.
Zhou Guotao looked at his youngest son in silence and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Lin Ye has good skills and won't break it for you."
Zhou Suihuai said absentmindedly: "Oh."
Zhou Guotao paused and watched Zhou Suihuai lower his head to take out his mobile phone from his pocket, open the address book, point his finger at the top name, want to press it, but pause.
After maintaining the pause for a while, he opened WeChat and pinned it to the top.
Words are entered and deleted.
Seeing Zhou Guotao's eyebrows slowly furrowed, he said, "Sui Huai, if you want to call, just call. If you want to send a message, just send it. Why are you hesitating?"
Zhou Suihuai still lowered his head, "I'm afraid she's doing something."
"But today is your birthday," the old father said, genuinely worried. "She didn't show up. According to etiquette, she should have called you to wish you a happy new year. You took the initiative to call, and you didn't even dare?"
The old father felt that his son was terminally ill.
"Oh, you don't understand," Zhou Suihuai was busy typing in the dialog box, "She is very busy and has a lot of things to do. Those of you who made a mistake in your business may only lose a few million, but she can't. That's human life."
That's the truth.
But the old father was still upset, "You can't say you don't have time for a phone call, right? Besides, it's already late. If you really want to come, come over."
Seeing Zhou Suihuai ignoring him, Zhou Guotao was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. "Besides, you're still young. Why are you so anxious to tie yourself to someone? You should also go and see that the daughter of the Lin family came over today. She said her name is Lin Yuner and she's in the same play with you. Why don't you go and see the gift she gave you?"
Zhou Suihuai said simply, "No, I'll wait here for Lin Ye to come."
Zhou Guotao's chest heaved, but he couldn't hit him at this moment, so he could only purse his lips stiffly, "Isn't it just a gift of a plane? Can it be as eye-catching as the one I gave you a few days ago?"
Zhou Suihuai's fingertips finally stopped moving.
His serious look made Zhou Guotao feel uneasy.
"Dad, how can you say that? The most important thing about a gift is the friendship, not the value. If it's from an important person, even a feather is worth a fortune. Are you so materialistic?"
Zhou Guotao almost couldn't catch his breath.
"You, that's how you say that to your father?!"
Zhou Guotao felt that if he continued talking to this evil boy, he would be mad to death, so he turned around and didn't want to argue with Zhou Suihuai anymore.
As a result, Zhou Suihuai seemed to be more excited. After he turned around, he actually added a sentence.
"You'll know when Lin Ye drives over. Not to mention the gift you gave me, even the treasures you have on your floor can't compare to the piece of wings Xiaoguai gave me."
Zhou Guotao was really angry.
"What did you say?"
"Every one of those things parked on your floor is worth over 100 million. I dare say, apart from the ZH5, nothing else in the world can compare to my collection!"
Zhou Guotao said this and saw Zhou Suihuai smiled faintly.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't tell me it's really a ZH5. I heard this plane is one of a kind, only ever exhibited once at auction. It fetched over 5 billion yuan. Even with the price it needs to be renovated, the total price is over 10 billion yuan," Zhou Guotao said, still unconvinced. "Could she give you such a valuable gift?"
"Will her father agree?"
After Zhou Suihuai sent the message, he put his hands in his pockets, looked relaxed, and smiled smugly, completely changing his previous depressed look.
"Are you really getting this?" Zhou Guotao confirmed again.
Zhou Suihuai said nothing, only looking at the vast sky, "Dad, please go back. There are guests inside who need your attention."
Zhou Guotao folded his hands, placed them on his stomach, and looked up at the sky.
"I want to see what that girl can give you to make you so cocky. Don't let yourself get slapped in the face later."
"Three years ago, wasn't it? You swore to me that you would marry Bian Zhi, but in the end, it all fell through, right?"
Zhou Guotao thought Zhou Suihuai would be annoyed.
But I never thought that.
He looked up at the starry sky, and with the roar of the flapping wings, he said softly, "This time, it won't happen."
