Chapter 315: Getting Rich Instantly
“Thank you, Old Master.” Ling Sheng smiled as she thanked him. The Old Master had insisted that she take it out to see if she liked it. When she opened the gift, she saw a sapphire diamond necklace. It was even more dazzling than the one she had borrowed from Sister Mei last time. One look and one could tell that it was priceless.
Could the old folks not be like this? Her heart could not take it anymore. She had been given one priceless treasure after another. Was it really appropriate to use such treasures as greeting gifts?
Only when the old folks gave their greeting gifts could the others give theirs to her. They could not mess up the family rules. Starting from the old folks, they would give her greeting gifts one after another.
Ling Sheng’s hands were full. Elders could only give a junior—especially a girl—jewelry to ensure that the gift had value and was nothing embarrassing. Besides, rich people offered things worth tens of millions at a go and kept saying that they were not valuable and that they could wear them for fun.
Su Xiyin and Ling Sheng kept thanking them, and the former helped her carry the gifts. If she could not carry them, she would give them to Huo Ci and have him carry them.
Ling Sheng finally understood what it felt like to get rich instantly. Her hands went limp when she received the gifts, and she also deeply understood what it meant to be the poorest member of a family. Look at the gifts they had given her. They were akin to toys, but they were worth tens of millions. Even if she worked hard on a television drama, she would only be able to buy less than one-tenth of such a gift.
There was an obvious difference between them!
What a blow!
She vowed to work hard and earn money. One day, she would be able to fork out 10 million yuan. Then, she would tell them, “It’s nothing. You can spend it however you want.”
Old Master Su had given Xiaoqi a jade ring, which made Huo Ci’s eyes turn red. He had gone all out to ask for it before, but Old Master Su had not given it to him. Instead, he had given it to this brat.
That jade ring had been a gift from Emperor Wu of Han to Flying General Fei, Li Guang. He had been eyeing it for most of his life. How biased of him!
“Ci, don’t harp on the details. What belongs to Xiaoqi belongs to you.” Su Heng patted his shoulder and comforted him sincerely.
He was also envious of the ring. He had spent a lot of time begging the Old Master for it, but he had been rejected. The Old Master treasured it a lot.
“Bullsh*t!” Huo Ci growled. That brat would be giving the ring to his mother, not to him!
Ling Sheng’s family only returned home in the evening. The old man could not bear to part with Ling Sheng. He only let her go after she promised to come often in the future.
The elders at home did not want her to leave either. It was not easy for them to have a cute and sensible daughter at home. She wanted to leave before they had kissed her enough.
“Uncle, don’t see me out. It’s not like I don’t know where my house is.” Upon seeing everyone following them, Huo Ci tried to persuade them kindly to leave.
“Are we seeing you out? We are seeing Sheng Sheng out!” Lu Cunshi glared at him fiercely.
Huo Ci gritted his teeth and sighed. Fine, he had been asking to be rejected. There was no point talking about this anymore. Now that he had a daughter, he was nothing. Everything he said was wrong.
It would have been fine if she had acted at home as she had acted when she had come to her great-grandparents’ house. Had they not seen a girl before? Only this brat would pretend to be obedient outside. They would know that she could anger someone to death when they saw her true colors.
“Uncle, go home quickly!” Ling Sheng smiled obediently. “We’ll reach the parking lot soon. Let me watch you go. I’m afraid I can’t bear to leave you.”
Lu Cunshi said with heartache, “Then stay at home for two days. Look at your father. You’re a girl. Why are you in the entertainment circle? It’s so tiring!”
