Chapter 85 Gift
In the next few days, Xiao Beisheng will be on a business trip and will not be at home for a while.
Su Man thought to herself sarcastically that she had just gotten married and was already living alone in an empty house.
Xiao Tian would attend classes regularly at Dilan Garden. This June, Xiao Tian would begin her art school entrance exams, a crucial year. Therefore, Su Man arranged a tight schedule of extracurricular tutoring sessions for her.
After class that day, Xiao Tian mentioned, "Grandma's birthday is coming soon. Sister-in-law, have you thought about what gift to give her?"
Xiao Tian adapted quickly to Su Man's identity change.
Su Man was worried that Xiao Tian would think that Su Man was deceiving her with her boasting. However, the child seemed to have forgotten all about it. On the day when Su Man and Xiao Beisheng returned to the old house to offer tea to Old Madam Xiao, the little girl changed her name to "sister-in-law" and changed it very smoothly.
"Birthday?" Su Man was shocked.
She really didn't know about Madam Xiao's birthday.
Fortunately, the girl mentioned it.
"I haven't thought about it yet, what about you?" Su Man asked her.
"Grandma said she hopes I do well in the arts exam this year. I plan to place in the top three as a gift for her."
Is this okay?
It’s true that biological children are better.
After seeing Xiao Tian off, Su Man turned on the computer and began searching for birthday parties held by the Xiao family for Old Madam Xiao in previous years.
When giving gifts, you must give the recipient what he or she likes.
Information shows that Mrs. Xiao’s birthday is in the middle of two months.
But the Internet did not reveal anything about what Madam Xiao liked.
After much deliberation, Su Man finally sent a message to Xiao Beisheng: [Are you busy?]
[It just ended. How about you? Did you just finish teaching Tiantian? ]
[Yes, Tiantian is making rapid progress and should have no problem passing the art exam.]
Su Man bit her fingers, wondering how to ask without appearing too motivated. After all, she hadn't contacted Xiao Beisheng in a few days, and the reason she contacted him now was to ask about Old Madam Xiao.
She doesn't look like a qualified wife at all!
Who knew that Xiao Beisheng's message came first: [Is it convenient for you to call? ]
Su Man was stunned by Xiao Beisheng's initiative and replied with "convenient".
In just a few seconds, Xiao Beisheng called.
"I haven't heard your voice for many days." Xiao Beisheng said.
In fact, this is what Su Man thought in her heart.
Xiao Beisheng's voice is mellow and clean. When he lowers his voice, it is deep and magnetic, like a big hand massaging your ears, soft and pleasant.
Suman likes listening to him very much.
She smiled and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing a busy man like you, Mr. Xiao."
"Did you miss me then?"
Xiao Beisheng suddenly hit a straight ball, and Su Man felt a little embarrassed.
She said, "My husband went on a business trip the day after our wedding. What wife wouldn't miss her husband when she's alone at home?"
Su Man always gives people a feeling of scratching an itch through a shoe.
She said that a wife will always miss her husband.
But she didn't say it directly, she was thinking of Xiao Beisheng.
On Xiao Beisheng's other end, there were rustling sounds of people discussing meeting matters in low voices, occasionally mixed with the sound of the wind. Su Man imagined that he should be somewhere like a terrace in a business district.
Xiao Beisheng said: "The work is almost finished, I will be able to go back next week."
"Okay, tell me in advance when you come back so I can make you something delicious." Su Man paused and said, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you."
"Um?"
"I heard from Tiantian that grandma's birthday is coming soon. I wanted to ask if your grandma has anything she likes and what I should give her."
"Don't worry, you can just give it to me under the same name when the time comes. As for what grandma likes...she really likes jade, but she already has a large collection of jade, and it's hard to find jade better than hers in the country. Grandma also likes the paintings of the famous artist Yun Guhong. But Yun Guhong's paintings are priceless."
"Yeah...I see. Thank you."
In order to appear less critical, Su Man chatted with Xiao Beisheng for a while, and did not forget to remind him to eat well and not drink on an empty stomach.
When she was about to hang up, Su Man said, "I'll hang up first. I have to prepare lessons later."
"Hang up, I miss you too."
His words were obviously incoherent, but Su Man knew that he was responding to her words that she missed him.
Su Man held the phone and her heart skipped a beat.
The next second, she hung up the phone.
Strong palpitations, like the feeling of love of a young girl.
When Xiao Beisheng is not flirting, he looks very righteous, but when he is flirting, he is desperate.
-
Although Xiao Beisheng said that Su Man didn't need to prepare anything, Su Man still decided to do her part.
In the past, Su Man had not decided to marry into the Xiao family, nor did she plan to become a family with Old Madam Xiao. But now she and Xiao Beisheng are married, and Old Madam Xiao also treats her as her own family. No matter what, Su Man has to put some thought into the old lady's birthday.
Su Man found out that Yun Guhong's solo painting exhibition will be held in Qu City this weekend.
After class on Friday, Suman rushed to the airport immediately.
Qu City.
Su Man rested for a night. The next day, she dressed up a little and set off to the exhibition hall where the art exhibition was held.
There is a big sign at the entrance of the exhibition.
Su Man had her ticket checked by the staff and walked into the brightly lit exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall was open and spacious, with many paintings on display on the walls. Su Man had heard a little about this master, but when she really immersed herself in this art world, she finally understood why so many people were begging to collect Master Yun Guhong's paintings, and why his paintings were so priceless.
She walked around for more than forty minutes. Although the exhibition was beautiful, she came here to do serious business.
She consulted the staff, and sure enough, the staff all said that none of the paintings were for sale.
She took out her business card and said she wanted to meet the elder.
But the staff rejected her as well.
This old man, Yun Guhong, is so elusive that it is difficult to even see him at his own art exhibition.
It’s a pity that other new generation artists are eager to hold live autograph sessions.
Su Man pretended again, trying her luck. This aloof and eccentric master-level figure might be disguised as an exhibition visitor and wandering around the site.
But after looking around, she didn't see anyone who looked like a master.
Suman was discouraged and went to the bathroom. There were few people in the bathroom, only Suman and a middle-aged woman.
The woman was wealthy and graceful, adorned with jewels. Although she was old, she was well maintained and must be the wife of a wealthy family.
Su Man was washing her hands, and the noble lady also walked to the sink next to Su Man to wash her hands, but halfway through, something suddenly felt wrong.
The woman's body swayed back and forth, the amplitude becoming more and more violent, and then she could no longer stand and fell backwards.
Su Man quickly went up to support the woman, "Madam, are you okay?"
The woman's eyes were half open, still slightly conscious. She looked at Su Man, her pale lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too weak to utter a single word.
