"Wen Xue, are you not celebrating your birthday at home with your parents?"
On the way to Juxian Tower, Su Yi asked casually.
"I'm sixteen years old. Since today is my birthday, I should make the decision."
The girl beside her blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "But I will be with my parents at night."
After a pause, she said: "What's more, the day after tomorrow is my grandmother's eightieth birthday, which is a big birthday. My parents and other clan members are busy with this matter, so how can they care about me."
Su Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
Wen Lingxue's grandmother was Liang Wenbi, the old lady of the Wen family. Her position in the Wen family was so high that even the patriarch Wen Changjing did not dare to disobey her will.
Naturally, everyone in the Wen family did not dare to neglect her eightieth birthday.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up, it's almost noon."
Wen Lingxue was obviously impatient.
"good."
Su Yi followed with a smile.
After all, my sister-in-law is only sixteen years old after all.
A picturesque, youthful and vigorous age.
Juxian Tower.
The restaurant with the highest standards and the largest scale in Guangling City is known as the first floor of Guangling.
Those who go in and out of it are either rich or noble.
There is a joke that a glass of wine in Juxian Tower is worth ten years of savings of a poor family!
No exaggeration.
When Su Yi and Wen Lingxue arrived, they were led warmly and respectfully by the waiter into an elegant room decorated with antiques on the third floor.
There were already seven or eight figures sitting in the private room. Except for one young man, the others were all girls, all around fifteen or sixteen years old.
When Wen Lingxue arrived, she was immediately greeted warmly.
"Lingxue, you are so beautiful today. This is a gift I specially prepared for you. I wish you can get into Qinghe Jianfu as soon as possible!"
"Hehe, if our classmates knew that today is the birthday of the most beautiful woman in our Songyun Sword Mansion, I'm afraid they would all have to line up to give gifts."
...The girls were sending out the gifts they had prepared while chatting with Wen Lingxue, all in a decent and enthusiastic manner.
Su Yi glanced around and saw many things.
Wen Lingxue and other classmates were all very well-dressed, and it was obvious that they all came from extraordinary backgrounds and had prominent family backgrounds.
Some have lively and generous personalities, some are gentle and reserved, some are heroic...the appearance and temperament are also very good,
However, probably Wen Lingxue's dress today was too beautiful and dazzling.
When these female classmates were chatting with Wen Lingxue, they all had a hint of unnoticeable envy and jealousy.
They concealed this very well, but they couldn't escape Su Yi's eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh. The friendship between girls seemed to be close, but in fact, each of them had their own little thoughts.
Fortunately, these are harmless.
"Nie Teng, why are you here?"
Wen Lingxue suddenly looked at the only young man in the field, her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression became much colder.
The originally lively atmosphere became a little dull.
The young man was wearing a jade robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dignified appearance.
He smiled, walked up and said, "Lingxue, today is your birthday. This is a little thought from me, please accept it."
He took out a treasure box inlaid with gold and jade with both hands and opened it gently.
A lavender hosta appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This hosta is carved with extremely exquisite techniques to create a fluttering luan bird, which is so lifelike that it is clearly the work of a master craftsman.
"Purple Luan Wings Jade Hairpin! This is the proud work of 'Master Mo' in Yunhe County. It is said that the material is a piece of natural purple cold jade. The jade itself is worth three hundred gold!"
"After being carved by Master Mo's magical hands, this hosta is worth a thousand gold!"
The eyes of a girl with exquisite make-up shone brightly, revealing the origin of this hosta.
"This...is this too expensive?"
Some girls with prominent backgrounds couldn't help but smack their lips, shocked by Nie Teng's generosity.
Nie Teng was very satisfied with the effect. He smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Wen Xue, do you like it? I specially prepared this for you."
Hearing this, the expressions of the girls next to them changed subtly, and they couldn't help but feel envious of Wen Lingxue.
Nie Teng.
The legitimate son of Nie Beihu, the commander of the imperial guard of the city lord's palace, he is outstanding in talent and has a beautiful tree facing the wind.
At the age of sixteen, he was already a prominent figure in Songyunjian Mansion and was admired by countless female classmates.
For such a talented person, spending a lot of money and using a hosta as a gift to express his admiration is a very honorable thing for any girl.
Who doesn't want such a scene to happen to them?
But Wen Lingxue's brows furrowed even more, and her expression became colder, saying: "This gift is too expensive, you'd better take it back."
Nie Teng's expression froze, and a trace of embarrassment flashed between his brows.
Before he could speak, Wen Lingxue had already invited everyone to sit down one by one, and specially asked Su Yi to sit next to her.
From beginning to end, Nie Teng was completely ignored.
However, seeing that Nie Teng was in an awkward situation, some girls couldn't bear it, and they all spoke up and warmly greeted Nie Teng to sit down.
Nie Teng quickly regained his composure and sat down with a smile, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassing incident that had just happened.
However, when his eyes occasionally glanced at Su Yi next to Wen Lingxue, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
In fact, both Nie Teng and the other girls were very confused as to why Wen Lingxue would bring Su Yi to this party.
However, due to Wen Lingxue's face, they all tacitly agreed not to say anything.
From beginning to end, no one took the initiative to say hello to Su Yi, let alone exchange greetings and courtesy.
If it weren't for Wen Lingxue, they probably wouldn't be willing to sit with Su Yi.
Who would want to be involved with a door-to-door son-in-law that everyone laughs at?
Therefore, although Su Yi was sitting there, he was ignored and ignored like a transparent person.
"Brother-in-law, if they ignore you, I'll just ignore you. Don't mind."
When no one was prepared, Wen Lingxue whispered in Su Yi's ear.
The girl's breath was as blue as blue, her eyes were as bright as water, and her little face was filled with a look of comfort.
Su Yi was speechless.
With his state of mind during his two lifetimes, how could he care about this?
Soon, a group of beautiful maids walked in and presented sumptuous delicacies, all of which were rare delicacies.
Wen Lingxue said doubtfully: "I didn't order so many dishes."
Nie Teng perked up and said loudly: "Wen Xue, today is your birthday, how can I let you spend money? Today's expenses at Juxian Tower are all covered by me."
He glanced at the other girls and said with great enthusiasm: "Everyone has a good meal and a good drink today. This is the greatest blessing to Wen Xue."
Those girls were all smiling happily.
Although they were of extraordinary origin, they could not just enjoy themselves in a "gold-selling cave" such as the Juxian Tower.
Wen Lingxue was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "How much money you spent today, I will pay you back another day."
Nie Teng chuckled and said, "Wen Xue, don't be so outgoing. It's just a meal. If you really pay back the money, I will be scolded to death by our male classmates in Songyun Jianfu."
Many girls laughed and agreed, urging Wen Lingxue not to pay too much attention to this.
Wen Lingxue hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing.
However, she whispered quietly in Su Yi's ear: "This guy is just like this. He likes to be in the limelight when he was in Songyun Jianfu. What annoys me the most is this kind of person. He is too vain."
"Also, I didn't invite him to this party at all, but he came here on his own. He's really thick-skinned!"
Su Yi smiled.
It's just vanity. It's a common problem among young people, not too bad.
At this time, Nie Teng suddenly looked over.
He indeed hadn't heard what Wen Lingxue said to Su Yi before.
But she saw Wen Lingxue's intimate gesture of whispering in Su Yi's ear!
This made his smile freeze, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy in his heart. He wanted to get up and beat Su Yi so hard that he would disappear from his eyes immediately.
Forced to suppress the jealousy in his heart, Nie Teng pretended to be relaxed and spoke curiously:
"Su Yi, you are Wen Xue's brother-in-law, and you also attended the party this time. I wonder what gift you gave Wen Xue this time?"
There was a faint arc on Su Yi's lips.
What kind of person he is, it can be seen at a glance that this kid has resentment in his heart and is obviously planning to make trouble with himself!
Sure enough, everyone else here looked over with different expressions, and they all probably guessed that Nie Teng had a comparison in mind.
He might even take this opportunity to embarrass Su Yi.
Think about it, what qualifications does a son-in-law have to sit with these people?
You are humiliating yourself without even realizing it!
"This Nie Teng is really annoying!"
Wen Lingxue was a little angry. She knew that Su Yi almost forgot her birthday, so how could she prepare a gift?
Unfortunately, Nie Teng couldn't help but lift any pot!
However, before Wen Lingxue could speak, Su Yi said apologetically:
"I almost forgot Lingxue's birthday this time, so I didn't have time to prepare gifts in advance, but I will make up for it when I get home tonight."
As he said that, he looked at Wen Lingxue.
Because these words were originally meant for Wen Lingxue, he didn't care at all what other people thought.
Wen Lingxue was stunned, her pink lips pursed slightly, and indescribable joy surged in her heart. My brother-in-law... still cares about my birthday!
Well, he was just too busy and neglected it for a moment.
Thinking of this, a smile gradually spread in her eyes and at the corners of her lips.
"It turns out I didn't prepare a gift..."
At this time, Nie Teng, who was filled with jealousy, finally had a chance to vent his anger. He couldn't help but said sarcastically, "It's a shame that Lingxue is so kind to you, my adopted brother-in-law. I never thought that you would even forget her birthday."
!”
The other girls present also shook their heads.
This Su Yi is simply too mud to hold up the wall.
But think about it on the other hand, he is just a son-in-law who lives in the Wen family, so what if he gives out gifts?
It is destined to be far from comparable to Senior Brother Nie Teng's "Purple Luan Jade Hairpin"!
I really don’t know why Wen Lingxue cares so much about his adopted brother-in-law...
Many girls found this very confusing, and they despised Su Yi even more.
Seeing all this in his eyes, Nie Teng finally felt a lot more comfortable. He was just thinking about whether to strike while the iron was hot and step on Su Yi a few times, when suddenly——
boom!
The closed door of the private room was pushed open hard.
