Many people had brought out their presents when the atmosphere was at its best. The old man seemed to be in a good mood.
Wan Qian heard the old man talking to Gu Ruochu with her own ears when she walked over. Her never-before-seen gentleness made Wan Qian feel jealous.
It seemed that this woman was as scheming as Xiao Hua had said. She was much more difficult to deal with than that woman, Chu Xinlan.
The old man had never been very kind to others. His attitude towards Gu Ruochu had far exceeded her imagination.
Wan Qian was naturally dissatisfied. She had only gotten a little bit of a relationship with the Gu family. Was this woman trying to take advantage of the old man by trying to curry favor with him?
Old Master Gu's daughter had died early. Gu Ruochu was now trying to take over the old master's house so that he could treat her as his daughter, right?
"Grandfather Gu, long time no see. "
Wan Qian had unknowingly approached him and presented him with her birthday present. Her face had returned to its previous elegance and generosity, "this is the longevity-bearing inkstone that I had ordered from the master. I hope that you will like it. "
Old Master Gu had not participated in any activities in the outside world these past few years. When he was free, he loved calligraphy.
This was also what Wan Qian had managed to find out from the housekeeper after she had been chosen by the old master as his granddaughter-in-law.
The old man glanced at him and asked the housekeeper to accept it. "Miss Wan, thank you for your kindness. It must have taken a lot of effort for you to specially order an inkstone for me, right? "
This inkstone was his favorite gift so far.
The gifts given by others all carried the aura of a nouveau riche.
"GRANDPA GU, you're too kind. "
Seeing the smile on the old man's face, Wan Qian knew that her gift was in line with the old man's wishes and was quite happy.
The others also saw it. As expected of the granddaughter-in-law that the old man had chosen. The granddaughter-in-law knew how to coax people.
Ever since his daughter passed away, the old master had not felt anyone else's concern for him. He now had a better impression of Wan Qian as well as a friendliness towards her.
Naturally, Gu Ruochu had prepared a gift early on. Now that she saw the woman who had suddenly approached the old master, she was surprised. She did not quite know who this woman was.
It seemed that the old master had purposely given this woman some face. This was a rare sight.
"Zexi. "
The woman had already taken a few steps forward and smiled, "Zexi, this must be Miss Gu, right? Is She your distant cousin? "
"Hello. "
Gu Ruochu did not really know her, but she felt that she was rather polite. Gu Zexi quickly introduced her, "this is President Wan's daughter, Miss Wan Qian. "
"Hello, Miss Wan. "
Wan Qian felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Gu Zexi's introduction, but she did not show it.
Gu Ruochu clearly felt awkward and instantly guessed that this Miss Wan Qian should be the one who had been chasing and beating Gu Zexi.
She probably felt uncomfortable when she saw Gu Zexi with any other woman, which was why her tone sounded a little stiff.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, the woman took the initiative to ask, "what gift did Miss Gu give me today? "
Gu Ruochu did not know what this woman meant by a gift. Initially, everyone wanted to give gifts for their birthday, but it did not seem to matter what they gave each other. Furthermore, she was not familiar with Wan Qian at all.
No one present knew that Wan Qian had already treated Gu Ruochu as a thorn in her eye. They only thought that she was joking and making fun of her.
However, Gu Ruochu was keenly aware of a hint of hostility.
The battlefield of women has never been filled with smoke.
