Yibai felt a chill in his heart.
In his past life, Mu Xinyan had caught him off guard ,by asking him whether he brought a gift.Leaving him flustered and unable to say anything, which only made the old lady dislike him even more.But in this life, he had come prepared.
with a smile on his face, Yibai stepped back from the old lady turned to Mu Xinyan."I brought something" he said.As He spoke he opened he opened his bag and took out a transparent box was containing a white flower.
Su Yichen couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.Brother,"you brought a wildflower as a for grandma"? he said.The guests looked down on him immediately.
Although first young master had a good temperament ,he couldn't change his old and rustic ways!How dare he bring a wildflower as a gift!Su Yichen immediately added fuel to the fire."Brother,if you didn't bring a gift ,you shouldn't have brought anything at all. How can you use a wild flower to please grandma"?
The male guests among the guests found Su Yibai interesting couldn't help but chime in."That's right First young master Su.Even if you had a hard time in the country side , bringing a wild flower as a gift is too perfunctory, isn't it"."Using a wildflower as a gift is really laughable".
The old lady heard this and couldn't help but frown,but she still said"A wildflower is also a gift from heart,an I happen to love flowers ".
Su Yibai explained , "Grandma ,this is not a wildflower . It's Nelumbo, a very rare medicinal herb.It only blooms for one day a year and only grows on cliffs ". " I've been looking for it for years and finally found this one".
"Nelumbo "?The old lady took the box in surprise from Yibai's hand and examined it carefully .At that time the male guest that had mocked Yibai spoke up again ,"Nelumbo ? are you kidding me ?! trying to pass off a wildflower as a precious medicinal herb ,do you think we're fools"?
The old lady's eyes showed a hint of disappointment and disgust upon heaing this.
"Yibai ,even if you brought me wildflower , I would still like it,but you shouldn't lie like this.The thing I hate the most in my are liars"! the old lady scolded.
Su Yibai frowned , "Grandma I'm not lying this is indeed Nelumbo. I almost fell off a cliff while trying to pick it.....".
"Enough "! Mu Xinyan interrupted and slammed the table"Yibai , stop lying . We have a doctor in the family,your lie will be exposed sooner or later . Just tell the truth is this really Nelumbo"? Su Yibai's face turned dark"I'm not lying "!
the old lady observed Yibai's face and couldn't help but waver .She said "call the family doctor immediately "!
"Mom"Mu Xinyan whispered "You don't really believe this boy,do you ? If we make a big deal out of this we'll all be embarrassed altogether ".The lady closed her eyes and said "I don't wanna repeat my self".
If Yibai was really lying .She would admit that her judgement was wrong.But if he wasn't lying....She would definitely protect this child in the future.Soon,the family doctor arrived.....
Before Mu Xinyan or the old lady could ask,the doctor's eyes lit up and his hand trembled as he pointed towards Su Yibai's hand that was holding the flower,"White..... Nelumbo !,in my lifetime ,I can't believe I'm seeing a real Nelumbo ! My goodness , what luck"!
As soon as these words were spoken everyone fell silent.Especially Mu Xinyan , Su Yichen and the male guest who had mocked Su Yibai , their faces turned green,red and blue like paint palette had been spilled on their faces.Who would have thought that the gift from a hill billy country boy would turn out be a Nelumbo,Which is more precious than Tian Shen Snow Lotus?! This one flower was worth three houses in city M !
Su Yichen couldn't believe it and asked again , "Doctor are you sure? Could it be a wildflower that looks like Nelumbo "?The family doctor frowned and replied "Third young master even if i mistook my own mother , I couldn't mistake a Nelumbo . It's every doctors dream to get a Nelumbo!Would I make a mistake in recognizing my own dream"?
This completely confirmed that Su Yibai was not lying .Su Yichen's calves trembled and he almost collapsed in frustration.Mu Xinyan who was quick to react stepped forward and held Yibai's hand, apologizing seemingly sincerely,"I'm sorry Yibai it's mother's fault for misunderstanding you.
Yibai didn't say anything ,but his eyes were on the old lady.The old lady's face also showed a sense of guilt.For a few minutes , she also thought Su Yibai was lying . "" I'm sorry ", the old lady spoke up
, "Grandma shouldn't have doubted you , I wouldn't do it in the future ". " It's okay Grandma , Nelumbo is a very rare medicinal herb,and it's normal that you didn't recognize it. I won't take it to heart ," Su Yibai replied.
as she spoke , the old lady took off the bracelet from her own wrist and put it on Yibai's wrist."You gave grandma such a precious gift , but doesn't have anything good to give you in return ,so she'll give you my dowry bracelet from years ago ", Yibai understood that the bracelet was made of rare blood jade and was extremely valuable.
The fact that grandma was willing to give him this bracelet meant that Yibai had gained her approval .And he had to thank Mu Xinyan for it. If Mu Xinyan hadn't intentionally put him on the spot by asking him whether he brought a gift letting him take out the Nelumbo to be presented as a gift at this moment.
"Thank you grandma" Su Yibai smiled sweetly his eyes innocent like a child's . This was just the beginning....Mu Xinyan looked at the bracelet on Su Yibai's wrist with envy. She had wanted that bracelet for a long time, but she never thought that the old lady would give it to Su Yibai as a gift.
But Mu Xinyan couldn't show her jealousy ,so she put on a show of generosity and seemingly sincere but in inaculity fake care and affection and asked Yibai, "It's getting cold outside why are you wearing this little "? She then had a servant bring a snow fox coat an put it on Yibai making his original outfit look even more shoddy and shabby.Although it was getting colder,it was still early autumn not cold enough to wear such a thick coat. Mu Xinyan's intention was to make Yibai feel embarrassed and inferior , just like she did in his past life .But back then,Yibai had folishedly believed that Mu Xinyan really cared about him.
Su Yibai suddenly looked at the coat for a moment and smiled."Thank you Mom".He showed the same grateful expression as in his past life. As expected He was still inexperienced. The guests around him showed him a look of disdain .Su Yibai seemed not to care.He put on the fox fur coat on him like a treasure , carefully stroking the snow fox fur on it. He looked clumsy like a joke .
Mu Xinyan almost laughed out loud. She thought Yibai was really smart , but she was fooled by Nelumbo. A Hill billy country bumpkin was a hill billy country bumpkin after all !This was easy. After today all of the wealthy ladies in city M would soon know how unsophisticated Su Yibai was. These people were all for gossips.Thinking of this Mu Xinyan picked up her tea cup and took a sip of tea,using it to cover up her smile happy for the fact that she had succeded in her plan.
Just then--
"Ahh",!
Su Yibai suddenly screamed took off the fox fur coat and threw it on the ground !l
