Chapter 146: Smiling is uglier than crying
When it was almost the end, Gu Ning took the backpack from Mu Ke, stepped back to a place where no one would notice him, opened the backpack, replaced the things in the backpack with today's gift, and took it out.
Then come back and ask Mu Ke to help carry the backpack again.
Qin Yifan's attention was always on Gu Ning, so when she left for a while and came back, he saw something in her hand, which was a wooden box that was 20 cm wide and 30 cm long.
No need to guess, Qin Yifan knew that it was a gift for his father.
He couldn't have imagined that Gu Ning had brought a gift, and he felt a little embarrassed and sorry, but it was too late to do anything.
Gu Ning walked out, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on her, some were amazed, some were appreciative, some were jealous, some were hateful, but Gu Ning ignored them all.
Qin Haozheng didn't know Gu Ning and just thought she was some rich girl.
"Hello, Mr. Qin. My name is Gu Ning. I'm a friend of Qin Yifan and Qin Zixun. I'm honored to be invited by them to attend your birthday party. Once again, on behalf of all our friends, I would like to express my congratulations to you. I wish you more wealth, longevity, glory, and good fortune, and may you be as blessed as the East Sea and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains!" said Gu Ning.
"Okay, okay, Miss Gu is thoughtful." Qin Haozheng smiled kindly.
Qin Yifan stepped forward to take the gift, then opened it and announced the name of the gift according to the rules.
When the box was opened and Qin Yifan saw the name on the card, he was surprised. He looked at Gu Ning and the others, then read: "Qing Qianlong Famille Rose Deer Head Vase"
"What? A Qing Dynasty Qianlong Enamel Deer Head Vase?" Upon hearing this, Gu Changjiang stood up excitedly again and hurried over.
Qin Haozheng is the same.
Those who knew about the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Porcelain Deer Head Vase were also surprised. Even those who didn't know about it knew that this gift was no simple one because of Gu Changjiang's excited look.
Gu Changjiang held the pink-glazed deer-head vase carefully, looking at it back and forth, his expression full of excitement.
Although the monetary value of the pastel deer head vase is not as great as Wu Guanzhong's landscape painting "People by the Pond", its age and collection value are no less than that landscape painting.
After all, this is an antique from the Qianlong period! And it is also a rare famille rose deer head vase.
Qin Zheng didn't believe that Gu Ning had a share of this pink-glazed deer head vase, because Gu Ning's family was so poor, how could they afford to buy antiques! It should be paid for by someone else! Next, it was time to eat, drink, and build relationships.
Li Zhenzhen originally wanted to chat with Qin Yifan to prevent him from getting close to Gu Ning, but she was still a step too late. Qin Yifan had already walked up to Gu Ning, making her so angry that she had difficulty breathing, but she did not dare to interrupt him.
Because she was afraid of angering Gu Ning, she told that story.
Although Li Zhenzhen was not the most outstanding woman present, she was also eye-catching, so many young men came to chat with her.
However, Li Zhenzhen only had Qin Yifan in her eyes, so naturally no one else could catch her eye. So she made an excuse that she was not feeling well and went to go with her father.
Those young masters did not show their displeasure due to Li Zhenzhen's status, but they secretly cursed Li Zhenzhen for pretending to be noble.
Qin Yifan came to Gu Ning and said apologetically, "I originally asked you to come and have fun, but I didn't expect you to prepare gifts. I'm really sorry for making you spend money."
Hearing the word "you", Chu Peihan and his group seemed a little embarrassed, because it was not them who sent the gift, but only Gu Ning.
"It's nothing," Gu Ning said nonchalantly.
Qin Yifan smiled and didn't dwell on the topic anymore. He asked with concern, "You won't feel uncomfortable, will you?"
"No," Gu Ning said.
In her previous life, she attended many banquets, so she was used to it.
"That's good," Qin Yifan said.
At this time, a young man and woman came over.
Gu Ning recognized the man, it was Wei Zhirui, but he didn't know who the woman was.
"Ms. Gu, long time no see." Wei Zhirui greeted Gu Ning.
"Mr. Wei, long time no see." Gu Ning greeted politely, then smiled and nodded to the young woman next to him as a greeting, and the other party also responded with a smile.
Because Gu Ning didn't know who the other person was to Wei Zhirui, he didn't want to address him rashly or ask.
"Miss Gu, are you used to living in Fenghua Mansion?" Wei Zhirui asked with concern.
"It's a habit. Thank you Mr. Wei for your concern." Gu Ning said politely.
"You are my big client, and my brother introduced you to me. How can I not care about you? Otherwise, I would be so sorry to my brother!" Wei Zhirui said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Gu Ning just smiled and said nothing.
Wei Zhirui and his wife didn't stay long and left.
Qin Yifan wanted to stay longer, but as the host, he couldn't just focus on one guest and ignore the other guests, so he left after staying for a short while.
As Qin Yifan left, Gu Ning discovered that the jealous gazes that had been cast on her also left.
There is no need to guess who the owner of that gaze is, it must be Li Zhenzhen.
Gu Ning looked over and saw Li Zhenzhen sitting alone in the corner, looking very lonely.
Gu Ning picked up the wine glass, greeted Chu Peipeihan and the others, and walked towards Li Zhenzhen.
Because Li Zhenzhen's eyes were following Qin Yifan, she did not see Gu Ning coming. By the time she noticed, Gu Ning was almost there.
Li Zhenzhen felt a little uneasy and wanted to avoid it but it was too late.
It's not that she couldn't avoid it, but if she avoided it in front of Gu Ning, she would tell Gu Ning nakedly, is she afraid of her? Although she was indeed afraid of her, her proud self-esteem would not allow her to be Gu Ning's grandson.
"Ms. Li, we meet again." Gu Ning greeted Li Zhenzhen with a smile. That seemingly kind smile was actually teasing, playful, and provocative.
"Yes! We meet again." Li Zhenzhen couldn't ignore it in public, so she responded to Gu Ning with a forced smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.
"It's a pity that Miss Li is with her father and brother, otherwise, I will definitely entertain Miss Li well." Gu Ning still had a gentle tone, but his words were very intriguing.
Treat her well, do you want to attack her?
"You..." Li Zhenzhen was a little annoyed, but couldn't get angry: "Gu Ning, don't go too far."
"Excessive? Why do you say that, Miss Li?" Gu Ning asked pretending to be confused.
"You..." Li Zhenzhen was very angry, but she didn't dare to point it out.
"Haha!" Seeing Li Zhenzhen's forbearing look, Gu Ning felt very happy. He stopped pretending to be stupid and said directly: "Li Zhenzhen, I said that since you have the ability to do it, you should have the ability to bear the consequences. It's just that when the consequences come, it depends on when I'm unhappy. I guess you already know that those people you found were all beaten into the hospital by me!"
