Su's mother was a little disappointed, and the Ling family really looked down on them! However, although Mrs. Ling did not come, she gave her a birthday gift and gave her enough face, and it did not mean that the Su family was embarrassed in front of the guests.

Su's mother laughed kindly and said, "I'm sorry, please go for a trip, sit down and have a cup of tea to take a break."

Ming Zuo thanked Su's mother and asked someone to bring the birthday gift.

Su's mother hurriedly asked her eldest son Su Zhengchun to take it over. When she saw it was a painting, she immediately asked him to open it in public.

The scroll was taken out and slowly unfolded. If everyone knew each other, they immediately said in surprise, "It is the beautiful and prosperous picture of Zhang Qing of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

"It's the original, that's too expensive!"

"I heard that I appeared at the auction a while ago and was actually taken away by the Ling family!"

Zhang Qing didn’t have many paintings, and it was difficult to buy them even if you had money. The previous auction was held privately, and the qualifications to enter the auction were very strict. Not only did you need capital, but you also need a high social status to participate.

......

Su Mu was filled with surprise. She raised her hand and touched the scroll. Her turbid eyes lit up. "It's Mr. Zhang's painting, his original work!"

Su Hetang also looked happy, "How dare we accept such a heavy gift from Mrs. Ling!"

Zhang Nianyun winked at Su Zhengchun, was filled with joy, and whispered, "I didn't expect the Ling family to attach so much importance to Chu Ci!"

She didn't believe that the Ling family gave such a careful birthday gift for the sake of the Su family, it was clearly because of their Chu Ci!

Su Zhengchun couldn't help but be proud and blurted out, "Chu Ci, call Mr. Ling later, thank you very much!"

Su Chuci's always arrogant and cold face unconsciously smiled a little, "I can do it!"

If someone else came to give a birthday gift, she wouldn't think too much, but the person who came was Mingzuo, and he was Ling Jiuze's, so it's very clear who the birthday gift meant!

She didn't expect that Ling Jiuze would value her like this!

Su's mother held Su Chuci's hand and smiled meaningfully, "I must thank you, and I would like to thank her grandma for letting him visit her home if he has time!"

Su Hetang also had a smile on his face. He suddenly remembered that when the Su family was still prosperous, they had a joking engagement with the Ling family. He did not take this engagement seriously before, but now, depending on the Ling family's attitude, maybe we can consider it again.

Ming Zuo was leaving, but listening to the Su family, why is it a little wrong?

There was no expression on his face, he frowned for a moment, and suddenly turned around and walked towards the next hall.

The Su family looked at Mingzuo unexpectedly, wondering what he was going to do?

Ming Zuo walked directly to Su Xi with a respectful attitude, "Miss Su, Mr. Ling has something to do today and can't come here in person. Please forgive me. Hua has been sent, we'll leave first!"

Su Xi almost instantly understood what Ming Zuo meant to protect her, stood up calmly, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Ling for me!"

"You're welcome, goodbye Miss Su!"

Ming Zuo was born with a cold face, serious and never had any unnecessary expressions. Even when he gave Su Mom a birthday gift, there was no trace of emotion on his face. However, when he faced Su Xi, he was restrained and respectful, and he was completely different.

Everyone in the Su family was stunned, looking confused.

After Ming Zuo said goodbye to Su Xi, he did not say goodbye to the Su family again. He didn't even look at Su Chuci, and turned around and took the people away.

There was a moment of silence in the living room. Su's mother looked at Su Xi inquiringly, "Xi Xi, come here!"
