Chapter 344 Rounding Up or Down: She's a Smart Person Too
Acheng came down carrying a bag in one hand, and started pulling it out like he was showing off a treasure.
“Last time I gave you a gold brick, and they said I was tacky. This time I chose a practical one for you. Wear it if you like, and you can sell it if you need money.”
A Rolex in solid gold.
Shen Buyu refused, saying, "I can't accept it. The game console I gave you only cost a few thousand yuan. This is too expensive. I don't want it."
"No way, if you don't want it, you're looking down on me." Acheng shamelessly insisted on putting the box in Chen Buyu's hands. "Anyway, it was bought with your brother's money. If you don't take it, he'll lose out."
Silent: ...
Thank you so much.
Mu Zi has better taste than A Cheng; she wears a string of black pearls.
"Thank you, Mu Zi, I love it!" Shen Buyu immediately picked it up and held it up against her neck. "Does it look good?"
Mu Zi's eyes softened. "Beautiful."
Her mistress is the most beautiful.
Chen Mo also gave gold, but it was just an ornament.
"A pine cone ornament, so exquisite! I've never seen one like it before. Was it custom-made?" The size of an egg fits perfectly in my hand.
With its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, "Why did they give me a pine cone? Does it have any special meaning?"
Chen Mo paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "Because I think the shape of the pine cone is... cute."
He never mentioned the time he got poisoned from eating mushrooms.
Song Jingyi didn't let go of the tablet.
"I also have a gift for you, Little Fish."
"The way you're doing this makes me feel like I'm here to fish, casting in bait and taking away big, fat fish." She was a little embarrassed, wishing she hadn't bought such cheap stuff.
"Don't say that. You're still young and studying. We'll buy you other things when you start working." Song Jingyi patted her head and gestured for Chen Mo to bring the things over.
Chen Mo handed over a document, entirely in English.
Even though he remained silent, he could still read it smoothly.
Seeing the last part, she looked at Song Jingyi with a face full of horror, "You bought me an island?"
"Hmm, it's a small island, not worth much. You can go there if you want to go out and relax in the future, and you can also invite your friends."
Song Jingyi smiled but remained silent.
Song Shuchen wanted everything that the imposter had bought, and he wanted even better things for his little fish.
There's still plenty of time, let's take it slow.
He enjoyed the surprise and warmth of exchanging gifts during the holidays.
Now I only regret that there are too few holidays and too many gifts to give.
Shen Buyu really became a little rich woman during the Chinese New Year.
She received the most gifts.
Si Jingxu looked on with envy, "My family won't be finished until the third day of the Lunar New Year. I want to give you my gift in person, Little Feather, wait for me for two days."
"I also have to finish junior high school. The family genealogy is on that day, and I don't know if it will go smoothly. Brother Jingxu, don't worry about the gift. I'm happy just to see you." Shen Buyu lay on his side, expressing his worries.
"With Uncle Shen and Yanzhou here, there won't be any problems. Just like in company meetings, there will always be annoying people who will speak up. Just shut them down. Remember, there are many stupid people, but there are even more smart people."
They all rely on the Shen family for their livelihood. Knowing full well that they like Shen Buyu, they still stubbornly go against them. Calling them idiots would be an insult to idiots.
“That makes sense. My older brother said the same thing,” Shen Buyu said with a smile, his pride evident. “My brother said that if they don’t listen, they won’t get any bonuses. Let them keep showing off.”
"Don't say anything or get upset when the time comes," Si Jingxu instructed her. "Just observe everyone who speaks; you can learn a lot from that."
A large family is a small society.
Consider it an early graduation to experience biodiversity.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Shen Buyu asked Si Jingxu.
“Sigh, it’s the second day of the Lunar New Year. I’m going back to my mom’s parents’ home with her,” Si Jingxu said, his head aching at the thought. “My mom is going to brag about her future daughter-in-law to everyone again.”
Shen Buyu: "..."
Lan Xinyan's parents passed away early, and the Shen family had no activities on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so the whole family got together to eat, drink, and play cards.
It wasn't until evening that Shen Buyu started to get nervous.
"Oh dear, what should I wear tomorrow to make a good impression?" She stood in the dressing room, scratching her head.
Shen Yunqi sat there chuckling. “Why are you so nervous? Wear whatever you want. Even if you wear your school uniform, people will praise you for respecting your teachers.”
"Would you like a dress or long-sleeved pants?" Shen Yanzhou carefully helped her choose. "A tracksuit would also be nice."
"You two straight men, get out, get out. I'll help my sister choose." Lan Xinyan shooed her two sons out.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family is being added to the family genealogy; this is a major event, so how could she dress plainly?
She knew her relatives all too well; they all took advantage of the New Year to compare themselves to each other.
Tomorrow, Lan Xinyan's daughter will stand there beautifully, outshining all the other beauties.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, no one slept in. They ate breakfast early and headed to the Shen Family Ancestral Hall.
The clan chief and several elders, having been instructed by Shen Zhiye in advance, arrived at the ancestral hall early to prepare for the upcoming ceremony.
As Shen Zhiye and his family of five walked in, someone immediately came forward to greet them.
"Cousin and sister-in-law, you've arrived. Please have a seat. We'll begin promptly at the auspicious time."
"This must be Buyu. She's much prettier than when she was little. I heard she's also good at studying. My cousin-in-law has done a good job educating her."
"Your daughter is so bright and intelligent. She looks like she belongs to the Shen family. You are so lucky."
Shen Buyu stood smiling beside Lan Xinyan.
This is the 'clever person' that Si Jingxu mentioned.
If you put yourself in her shoes, you would do the same. It's someone else's business, why get involved?
Besides, since they've said they want to be included in the family genealogy, that's a well-thought-out decision, and it's none of anyone else's business to criticize.
As long as the red bills are in her pocket, she can write three thousand words praising a pig if asked.
Rounding up, she's a smart person too.
"Old Master Shen has arrived," someone called out.
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan immediately got up and went forward to greet them.
The old man was dressed in a dark blue Tang suit today, and he strode in looking energetic and dignified.
"Brother, you've arrived." The clan leader stood up and bowed slightly.
"Okay, you go ahead with your work." Old Master Shen waved his hand and sat down in the armchair.
Shen Buyu calculated the time; it was time for the 'fool' to take the stage, otherwise it wouldn't be fun.
“Uncle.” Shen Shuyao’s voice came from the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Old Master Shen closed his eyes briefly. If it weren't for her deceased father, he would have shot her dead without hesitation.
“Cousin, cousin-in-law,” Shen Shuyao said in her usual manner, “I object to her being included in the family genealogy. Why should she be included? She has no blood relation to us at all, yet she wants to be included in our family genealogy.”
“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to object?” Shen Zhiye was the first to object.
He finally got his daughter to acknowledge him, and now these little shrimps are popping up out of nowhere, chattering away.
“I’m doing this for your own good,” Shen Shuyao tried to brainwash them. “I’m also a member of the Shen family. Anyway, I don’t want to be on the same family tree as her.”
"If you don't want to, then erase your name from the family tree," Old Master Shen said slowly.
