At the top of the stairs, Su Zhe, who took the initiative to greet him, shouted happily when he saw Qin Changsheng who was following Su Zixi and Tao Cheng upstairs.
Qin Changsheng was holding two bottles of old wine in his left hand and a box with a cloisonné bowl in his right hand. He looked up and saw Su Zhe with a knowing smile.
"Xiao Zhe, long time no see, are you okay?"
Su Zixi smiled and said: "Changsheng, Xiaozhe has been talking about you a lot in the past few years."
"Um."
Qin Changsheng nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
He has experienced too many human relationships since childhood and is very sensitive to any care and affection. Su Zhe is the only person in his uncle's family who does not dislike him.
Ever since he was a child, he would feel relaxed and comfortable only in front of Su Zhe when he went to his uncle's house.
"Come in quickly."
Su Zhe invited Qin Changsheng and the others into his home with a smile on his face.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw three dark faces.
Su Jianhui, Ren Jing, and Su Yan all looked at Qin Changsheng with displeasure, their eyes full of disgust.
"Uncle, aunt, hello."
Qin Changsheng had long been accustomed to the cold looks from these people. He smiled slightly, held the junior ceremony in a humble and polite manner, and greeted Su Jianhui and Ren Jing first.
Then he nodded to Su Yan and said, "Hello, cousin."
"Huh! No matter how good my mood is, it's gone when I see you."
Su Yan snorted coldly and expressed her true feelings at this moment directly in front of Qin Changsheng.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed very awkward and cold.
Su Zixi hated seeing her family treating Qin Changsheng like this, and immediately frowned and said: "Xiaoyan, Changsheng is here to pay your grandma a birthday, how can you say that?"
Su Yan didn't dare to talk back to her sister-in-law, so she rolled her eyes and turned away in anger.
Ren Jing asked: "Her sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know that Xiaoyan's boyfriend Qin Lei will come to celebrate her grandma's birthday today. What would people think if Qin Lei knew that we have a relative who has been in prison?
What does our family think of Xiaoyan?"
Su Jianhui scolded slightly: "You are the same. You brought Qin Changsheng here without saying hello to us in advance. Just as Xiaoyan's boyfriend came, we can't shut you out. This is not the case.
Will it cause problems for our family?"
Su Zixi gritted her teeth. Su Jianhui and Ren Jing, one was her brother and the other was her sister-in-law, taught her such a lesson that she could not refute.
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. It's not like I made any mistakes when Changsheng was imprisoned. Let's just not mention these things for a while. Let's pay my mother's birthday first."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense and awkward, Tao Cheng stepped forward to lighten the atmosphere.
Qin Changsheng dropped his smile, looked at Su Zhe, and asked, "Where is grandma?"
Su Zhe said: "Grandma is in the living room."
Qin Changsheng nodded and said to Su Zixi: "Auntie, let's wish grandma a happy birthday first."
"okay."
Su Zixi responded, and everyone walked towards the living room together.
Fu Shuaihong kept looking at the entrance door. When he saw Qin Changsheng and others coming to the living room, his eyes roamed Qin Changsheng for a while, his face was as dark as water, and he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy.
"Mom, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Su Zixi and Tao Cheng were the first to come to Fu Shuaihong. They first said blessings, and then Su Zixi brought up a nutritional supplement that seemed to be worth several hundred yuan and said, "Mom, this is what I give to you."
Bought nutritional supplements.”
Tao Cheng took out a red envelope, held it in both hands and handed it to Fu Shuaihong: "Mom, this is to honor you."
"Well, well, you are interested."
Fu Shuaihong smiled, took the red envelope, and said to Su Zixi: "Put your things down first."
"Okay." Su Zixi placed the nutritional supplements next to the coffee table, then moved away from Tao Cheng and looked at Qin Changsheng.
Qin Changsheng came to Fu Shuaihong and bowed: "Grandma, I wish you a life as long as the sky, as long as a mountain, with double blessings and longevity, and as time goes by, you will live longer."
After speaking with a smile, he picked up the two things in his hands, put them on the coffee table and said, "This is a birthday gift for you."
The packaging bag containing the two bottles of old wine had no brand label and looked very old. The small wooden box containing the cloisonné bowl looked exquisite, but did not have any brand or label.
Seeing that Qin Changsheng mentioned these two things without saying what they contained, Fu Shuaihong just glanced at them, then looked away without interest, hummed slightly, and asked, "When did you come out?"
Qin Changsheng said: "How many days have I been out?"
"When you come out this time, just stay safe and don't get caught again in a few days. It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, but don't discredit others."
Fu Shuaihong warned.
Qin Changsheng was stunned for a moment and did not argue. He nodded and said, "I understand."
Fu Shuaihong nodded and warned: "Xiaoyan's boyfriend Qin Lei will be here soon. Qin Lei is a very outstanding young man. Not only did he graduate from a prestigious university, he is now a senior executive of a company with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands. Even today,
My birthday banquet was all arranged by him."
"So we don't want to have any impact on Xiaoyan's feelings because of you. When Qin Lei comes soon, you should talk less. It's best not to talk at all. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Qin Changsheng nodded again, his face calm.
Seeing them finishing their birthday wishes, Ren Jing pointed to the two things Qin Changsheng had brought and ordered to Su Zhe: "Su Zhe, put those two things away. You can tell by looking at the packaging that they are not valuable things. After a while,
If Qin Lei sees it, he won't laugh at our family?"
Su Zhe frowned and said speechlessly: "Mom, what about it? In any case, this is my brother's birthday gift to my grandma."
Ren Jing said: "I know it's a birthday gift. It's okay for our family to know it ourselves. We can't embarrass ourselves in front of outsiders."
Qin Changsheng glanced at Ren Jing and said calmly: "Auntie, these two things I gave to my grandma are quite expensive and should not embarrass you."
"Really?" Ren Jing sneered and said sarcastically: "You have just been released from prison, you don't even have an income, you are extremely poor, what valuable things can you give to your grandma? I am a little curious, why don't you tell me, this
What’s in there?”
Su Jianhui and Su Yan also had disdain on their faces. They also didn't believe that Qin Changsheng could bring anything.
Su Zixi gritted her teeth secretly, feeling extremely regretful in her heart. She should have given the red envelope to Qin Changsheng in the car before. If Qin Changsheng had also given a red envelope to his grandmother just now, Ren Jing would definitely not have ridiculed Qin Changsheng like this.
Qin Changsheng looked calm and said in front of everyone: "There are two bottles of sixty-year-old wine in here. Although I don't know the value of the old wine, I guess it is something with a price but no market."
After a pause, he pointed to the wooden box and said: "Inside is a gold-painted enamel cloisonné bowl from the Qianlong period. It is also very likely to be an antique used by Emperor Qianlong back then. It is in excellent condition. There was another antique yesterday.
An expert in the field planned to spend 800,000 yuan to buy it, but I refused."
"..."
After listening to Qin Changsheng's narration, everyone remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Su Yan and Ren Jing burst out laughing in unison, their laughter full of sarcasm.
Su Yan sneered and said: "Qin Changsheng, I remember you were quite honest before. Why did you learn so many bad habits after spending several years in prison that you don't even draft drafts when you are bragging?"
Ren Jing said: "Returning sixty-year-old wine and antiques used by Qianlong, are you going to laugh me to death?"
Fu Shuaihong's face was also very ugly, and he said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you are poor, but at least you must be honest. What did your mother teach you before? You really disappoint me!"
