Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Fu Siya Deliberately Calls Out Names in Public
Fu Chen snorted coldly, "Aside from being good-looking and having some medical skills, seducing Grandpa charmedly, what else can she do? Even if she begged me on her knees, I wouldn’t spare her a glance."
"Moreover, sister, you don’t know, this Lu Sheng has provoked me time and again, making me angry. I am still thinking about how to make her suffer."
Fu Chen wouldn’t mention Lu Sheng’s disdain and disgust towards him, acting as if he is above it all.
However, this response seemed very satisfying to Fu Siya—
At least her brother was on the same side as her.
Hearing that Fu Chen wanted to make Lu Sheng suffer, Fu Siya suddenly seemed to think of something.
"You want to make this little bitch suffer?" Fu Siya’s eyes twirled, "I do have an idea, it could make her lose face in public later."
"What?" Fu Chen eagerly leaned in to ask, "What are you going to do, sister?"
Fu Siya recalled the guest registration and gift list she had seen earlier.
Today Lu Sheng came to celebrate Old Mr. Fu’s birthday, and she brought only a cup.
Such a shabby thing, she dared to write her name on it.
But since she dared to give it, she couldn’t complain of us using it for a comparison.
Just then, a man in a suit holding a champagne glass came over, and immediately greeted when seeing Fu Siya, "Miss Fu looks radiant today."
Fu Siya, who had a cold expression just a moment ago, immediately put on a business-like smile and responded warmly, "Oh, it’s Mr. Wang, long time no see."
Mr. Wang looked at the maid behind Fu Siya, glanced at the brocade box in the maid’s hand, showing a curious look.
"I heard Miss Fu has prepared an extraordinary treasure as a birthday gift for Old Mr. Fu, we are all eager to get a glimpse." n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"You flatter me, Mr. Wang," Fu Siya’s smile deepened, "With your status, what extraordinary treasures haven’t you seen to be curious about what I might offer?"
"Oh, Miss Fu is too modest," Mr. Wang waved his hand complimenting, "Since Miss Fu has prepared to unveil a surprise later, we will certainly wait with eagerness."
After Mr. Wang left, Fu Chen curiously looked at the brocade box, "Sister, what kind of gift have you prepared for Grandpa, it looks very secretive."
"You’ll see soon enough," Fu Siya told Fu Chen, looking quite confident.
However, after she spoke, her eyes flightily shifted when she looked at the brocade box, a sly spark flickering in her gaze.
—
About ten minutes later, the two people who were receiving and registering gifts outside the banquet hall pushed a large trolley into the Great Hall.
The trolley was very conspicuous, and so the clinking of wine glasses and the noisy chattering in the hall immediately ceased, as people flocked around the trolley.
Lu Sheng and others included.
"Is that trolley filled with gifts from the guests attending the banquet?" Lan Yu, with sparkling eyes, pulled Lu Sheng’s hand, "Let’s go take a look too!"
The trolley indeed was neatly filled with numerous gift boxes of various sizes, but for some reason, there was a spot left empty in the middle.
Lu Sheng immediately spotted her own gift.
While other gift boxes looked brand new and luxurious, her old wooden box used to hold the cup was excessively plain.
It even stood out embarrassingly against the backdrop of other gifts.
Lan Yu also quickly noticed her own gift.
She pointed at the leftmost gift box, "Look Shengsheng, that’s the birthday gift I brought for Old Mr. Fu, inside is a calligraphy sent by my dad."
"That one is from me," Han Jing also glanced, pointing at one item, "Anyway, it was prepared by my mom, I really don’t know what’s inside."
Lan Yu turned her head to look at Lu Sheng, "What about you, Shengsheng? What gift did you prepare for Old Mr. Fu today?"
Before Lu Sheng could respond, suddenly someone around shouted "Miss Fu has arrived."
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively cleared a path.
Then Lu Sheng saw Fu Siya, dressed in an apricot-colored Qipao and wrapped in a silk shawl, elegantly walking in high heels to the trolley.
She looked extremely dignified and aristocratic, performing the role of a wealthy daughter of the Fu family.
And behind her, a maid carefully placed a red brocade box on the trolley, exactly in the spot that was previously empty.
At the last school anniversary garden party, Lan Yu had heard about Lu Sheng being troubled by Fu Siya at the school gate; upon seeing her, she couldn’t help but frown.
She muttered quietly to Lu Sheng, "I wondered why there was an empty spot on this trolley, turns out it was reserved for her. What, her gift is particularly noble or something?"
Han Jing also leaned over and said, "I heard that Fu Siya really got a treasure for Old Mr. Fu and is planning to showcase it tonight."
Lan Yu then realized, "That’s why so many people are crowding around; they want to see what treasure she is going to give Old Mr. Fu."
Indeed, as soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, someone from the crowd spoke up.
"Miss Fu is finally here—"
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a bulging stomach and somewhat bald, "Exactly what treasure has Miss Fu prepared for Old Mr. Fu? Let’s open it and take a look."
"Yes, yes," someone immediately agreed, "We are all very curious, what exactly is inside Miss Fu’s brocade box?"
"Looking at the size of this brocade box, it must be some kind of antique, right? The antiques Miss Fu finds are definitely extraordinary..."
The crowd was buzzing with curiosity, seeing this, Fu Siya gracefully and courteously said, "As you all have honored us with your presence at my grandfather’s birthday banquet today, naturally every gift prepared is precious and thought-through."
"The item I found, I won’t mention the price, but it definitely required a lot of effort."
"So now, to appreciate it with everyone, consider it a small surprise before the banquet starts."
"But before that, I am more curious about another person’s gift for my grandfather—"
Saying this, Fu Siya suddenly looked towards Lu Sheng in the crowd, smiling:
"This Miss Lu Sheng, Grandfather likes you so much, he even personally called to invite you to the birthday banquet."
"I am quite curious, what special gift you have prepared for my grandfather, could you bring it out for everyone to see?"
