Chapter 14 Jiang Xinyan is like an ugly duck in front of Ke Liman

Butler Bai thought happily and left with the painting.

Time passed quickly. During the period of hospitalization, Ke Liman had already reviewed the required knowledge for the exam. Shen Baiying came several times but was stopped outside the door each time. For this, she scolded Su Zhe'an.

"Mom, don't be surprised. There's no way Ke Liman will fall in love with Big Brother."

Su Zhe'an wanted to laugh when he heard what Shen Baiying said. Ke Liman had always followed him since they were young. Su Gu Huai was a taciturn person. As soon as she saw Su Gu Huai, she was scared and wanted to hide.

"Brother Zhe'an, I'm afraid of my elder brother. He looks fierce."

The little person was so cute and sweet, holding onto Su Zhe'an's sleeve tightly and not daring to let go.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here so I won't dare bully you!"

The beautiful memories of his childhood suddenly made Su Zhe'an dazed. They were so beautiful back then, and he didn't know why they suddenly changed.

The next moment he immediately put the thought behind him.

No! It's not that he has changed, it's that Ke Liman is just too annoying. She doesn't have the modesty of a girl at all. She is not worthy of him!

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her son, Shen Baiying helplessly raised her forehead and said, "Your grandfather will be turning 60 this weekend. Have you prepared a birthday present?"

"It's still the same old three things: tonic, tea, and liquor."

Su Zhe'an shrugged. Anyway, the things he gave as gifts every year were never to the old man's liking and most of them were lost. It didn't matter what he gave.

"Okay, your grandfather and we have never had much interaction, so it's fine as long as we can give him some face."

"Mom, please give me a few more invitations. I want to invite some of my classmates to participate."

Shen Baiying asked suspiciously, "Why did you invite classmates to the family dinner?"

"Okay, you can invite a few students from wealthy families, but you can't invite the Jiang family, who is not up to par!"

Shen Baiying had already investigated Jiang Xinyan a long time ago. Her home was a stinky farm and was not worthy of their family at all!

"Don't worry about it, just give it to me."

Su Zhe'an was somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Baiying's attitude towards Jiang Xinyan, and he felt a strong desire to protect her.

Su Gu Huai did not show up until the day of his grandfather's birthday. The 10 million in Ke Liman's card was deposited. She raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction and was about to get up to go to the mall to buy clothes. As soon as she opened the door of the ward, she saw Jiang Xinyan's face.

Ke Liman immediately looked behind Jiang Xinyan and asked, "Your lover didn't come with you?"

Jiang Xinyan's expression changed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and forced a smile, saying, "Sister Li Man, I'm here to give you something."

Ke Liman took a step back, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"I know you don't have much money right now, and you probably don't have much money to buy a decent gift for Mr. Su's birthday party today, so I went out of my way to find an oil painting created by a foreign master to help you look good."

Jiang Xinyan opened the rolled-up painting in her hand and handed it to Ke Liman with a sincere look on her face.

No money? It seems Chen Xiaoqing didn't tell her that she lost 10 million for Jiang Xinyan! What a deep sisterly love.

As soon as Ke Liman smelled the scent of the painting, she understood.

Fake.

Ke Liman rolled her eyes and pretended to be surprised: "Why don't you send it yourself?"

"Abel is a newly emerged outstanding master in Country M. One of his paintings was sold at auction for nearly five million. My sister bought it at a high price in order to ease the relationship with her."

Jiang Xinyan then smiled sheepishly and said, "My sister, with your status, can just give me some supplements. I am really not worthy of such a noble painting."

"Thank you so much! I don't know what else I could give you, thanks to you!"

Ke Liman smiled brightly, as if she was really happy. "Then I'll take it. I'm going to change my clothes. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, Brother Zhe'an said he would come to pick me up later." Jiang Xinyan then pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Huh? Didn't he say he would come to pick me up too?"

Ke Liman smiled without answering, closed the door and left. Jiang Xinyan looked at Ke Liman's back and the smile on her face deepened.

"I thought the eldest daughter of the Ke family was so powerful, but I didn't expect that she couldn't even tell a fake. What Old Master Su hates most is fakes. Just wait for you to make a fool of yourself at the banquet!"

"Butler Bai, please send me the surveillance footage of my ward corridor. Thank you."

"Miss, these are all new models. Do you like any of them?"

Ke Liman hung up the phone, looked at the cheongsams in the salesperson's hand, and shook her head. "The colors of these cheongsams are too bright."

"You said that if you want to attend a banquet, you must look gorgeous to stand out!"

Ke Liman looked up at a very plain white cheongsam on the wall. The only bright spot was a blue flower embroidered on the collar. "This is it. How much is it?"

"Miss, you have a good eye. This is one of our old pieces, a style from a few years ago. It's only 50,000 yuan now!"

"That's it."

Ke Liman decisively swiped her card and put on the cheongsam. Even the salesgirl couldn't help but stare at her in amazement. "Miss, this cheongsam is very figure-conscious. You look so beautiful in it."

Is she beautiful? She is a little unconfident. In her previous life, she only put on makeup once when she got married. Su Zhe'an said she looked like a monster.

He said that he liked virtuous wives and loving mothers, and that those who dressed up too showy were not worthy of being his wife. But what did she get in return after she put away all her edge?

She looked at the area on her neck that was bandaged. Fortunately, the area was not very large, so she picked up a white silk scarf and gently covered it on the outside.

Ke Liman is really beautiful, with black hair like clouds, delicate skin, dark eyes, red lips and pomegranate teeth. Although she is not stunning at first glance, she is the type that is worth careful appreciation.

When they arrived at the Su family, Butler Bai was already waiting outside. He handed the framed painting to Ke Liman.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ke, I was too busy today and couldn't pick you up in person."

"Brother's business is more important." Ke Liman smiled, took out the painting from the bag, took a look at it, it was framed very exquisitely, and put it back with satisfaction.

"Thank you, that's very thoughtful."

"I dare not. This is all the young master's order."

Ke Liman nodded politely and strode towards the banquet hall. The first person to see her was Su Mingrou. Su Mingrou was obsessed with looks and rushed over to the beauty as soon as she saw her. "Oh! Is that Xiaoman? You can't recognize me after you dress up. You're so beautiful!"

When Su Mingrou called out like this, everyone's eyes were focused on Ke Liman. Ke Liman's face turned a little red. She really didn't expect to make such a high-profile appearance.

"Auntie Xiaorou, please keep your voice down!"

"What are you afraid of? You are so beautiful but you don't let others see you! Don't be so stingy!"

Old Master Su frowned at his unruly little daughter and said, "Mingrou! Come here!"

Su Mingrou seemed to have her wings held down by someone, and she walked back to Old Master Su silently.

Su Guhuai was sitting aside chatting with several famous entrepreneurs. When he looked up and saw Ke Liman, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She is so beautiful! The pure white color suits her perfectly. Her skin is fair, and the white clothes make her look even fairer. Her slender figure is so attractive that you can’t take your eyes off her.

Su Zhe'an's eyes widened. Jiang Xinyan felt his gaze and pulled his hand with some displeasure.

"Brother Zhe'an, can we go give Grandpa a gift?"

Su Zhe'an immediately realized that he had behaved a little out of control and quickly agreed.

Old Master Su was sitting on the sofa in the main seat. Although he was already sixty years old, he did not look kind at all. Not even a single gray hair on his head, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

Surrounded by a group of very famous elites in the industry, all of them presented treasures to him as if to please him, but Mr. Su did not even raise his eyelids at these treasures unearthed from all over the world.

The wealthy and powerful people whom people from the outside world would love to see in their entire lives, however, bow down before Old Master Su, which shows how great his prestige is.

Jiang Xinyan looked at Ke Liman who was holding only a painting in her hand and thought that the fish had been hooked. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Ke Liman, I will embarrass you in front of everyone in the business community! You will never be able to hold your head up again in your life!

"Hello, Grandpa Su. I am Jiang Xinyan, a classmate of Zhe'an and Xiaoman. I know it is your birthday today, so I specially prepared a birthday gift for you. Please accept my small gift!"

Jiang Xinyan quickly handed over the gift in her hand. She wore a pair of high heels today to show her elegance, but it was somewhat inconsistent with her student status.
