< br >Chapter 293 < br >Su Mu is a little disappointed, and the Ling family really despise them! However, although Mrs. Ling did not come, sending someone to send birthday gifts was enough to save face, and it was not a shame for the Su family in front of the guests. < br >Mother Su smiled kindly and said, "Please run, sit down and have a cup of tea." < br >Mingzuo thanked Su's mother and asked someone to bring the birthday gift. < br >Mother Su hurriedly asked her eldest son Su Zhengchun to take it over. Seeing that it was a painting, she immediately asked him to open it in public. < br >the picture scroll was taken out and slowly unfolded, and everyone who knew it immediately exclaimed, "it's a beautiful picture of fortune by Zhang Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty!" < br >"it's authentic, it's too expensive!" < br >"I heard that he showed up at the auction some time ago, but it was taken away by the Ling family!" < br >Zhang Qing has not many paintings handed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult to buy them even if he has money. The previous auction was also held by a private person, and the qualification to enter the auction was very stringent. Not only did he have capital, but he also had a high social status to participate. < br >. < br >Mother Su was full of surprise. She raised her hand and touched the scroll, and her muddy eyes lit up. "it's Zhang's painting, it's his authentic painting!" < br >Su he Tang was also overjoyed. "how dare we accept such a heavy gift from Mrs. Ling?" < br >Zhang Nianyun winked at Su Zhengchun, filled with joy, and whispered, "I didn't expect the Ling family to attach so much importance to Chu ci!" < br >she doesn't believe that the Ling family gave such an elaborate birthday gift in the face of the Su family, obviously because of the songs of their family! < br >Su Zhengchun could not help being proud of himself and blurted out, "Chu ci, please call Boss Ling later and thank him well!" < br >Su Chuci's haughty and cold face unconsciously smiled, "I will!" < br >if someone else comes to give a birthday gift, she won't think much about it, but the person who comes is Mingzuo, and he belongs to Ling Jiuze, so it's very clear who this birthday gift means! < br >(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({ }); < br >she didn't expect that Ling Jiuze would value her so much! < br >Mother Su held Su Chu's hand and smiled meaningfully. "I must thank her and thank her for her grandmother, so that he can be a guest at home when he is free!" < br >Su Hetang was also smiling. He suddenly remembered that when the Su family was still prosperous, he had a joke engagement with the Ling family. Before, he didn't take the engagement seriously, but now he can reconsider the Ling family's attitude. < br >Mingzuo was going to leave, but listening to the Su family, why is there something wrong? < br >he had no expression on his face, but frowned a little, then suddenly turned and walked towards the side hall. < br >the Su family looked at Ming left unexpectedly and didn't know what he was going to do. < br >Ming Zuo went directly to Su Xi and said respectfully, "Miss Su, Boss Ling has something to do today. He can't come here in person. Please forgive me. The painting has been delivered. Let's go first!" < br >Su Xi understood Mingzuo's meaning of defending her almost instantly. She got up calmly and smiled and said, "Thank you, and thank Mr. Ling for me!" < br >"you're welcome. Goodbye, Miss Su." < br >Ming Zuo was born with a cold face, unsmiling, and never had a superfluous expression. Even when he gave Su's mother a birthday gift, he didn't see a trace of emotion on his face, but when he faced Su Xi, his edge was restrained and his attitude was completely different. < br >all of the Su family were suddenly stupefied, and their faces were unknown. < br >after Mingzuo said goodbye to Su Xi, he didn't say goodbye to the Su family, didn't even look at Su Chu ci, turned around and took people away. < br >there was a moment of silence in the living room. Mother Su looked at Su Xi inquisitively. "Xixi, come here!" < br >< br/ >< br >
