Chapter 85: Giving Gifts and Showing One's Intentions

  Suddenly appearing Tang Jiaqiang startled Old Man Song. The old man narrowed his eyes and sized him up for a moment, asking somewhat inexplicably: "Young man, who are you again?"

  "I'm Lere's boyfriend!" Tang Jiaqiang shamelessly gave himself a title, then carefully opened the box and said: "This is the wild ginseng I spent 30,000 yuan on, it's most suitable for you to use to nourish your body!"

  Actually, this ginseng was bought by Tang Jiaqiang for 3,000 yuan, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the price increased tenfold. Song Tianqing's daughter had long been instructed by her mother to speak well of Tang Jiaqiang, so at this time she exaggerated: "A 30,000-yuan ginseng! Grandpa, your future grandson-in-law is so filial!"

  Instead, Old Man Song's face didn't have much of a smile on it. He looked at Xiao Ping and then at Tang Jiaqiang, and suspiciously asked Song Lei: "Lei, this one is a good friend, that one is a boyfriend, what are you doing?"

  Under the gaze of so many relatives and friends, Song Le had also let go, lightly biting her lip and saying: "Grandfather, Xiao Ping is my boyfriend, this Tang Jiaqiang and I are just classmates!"

  When Song Le publicly refuted Tang Jiaqiang's face, Song Tianliang and Song Tianqing were anxious. Seeing that Tang Jiaqiang's face was getting uglier, Song Tianqing quickly spoke up to help him: "Lele, you can't say that. Little Tang is very sincere towards you, Grandpa even gave gifts on his birthday! Look at this...Xiao Ping? He only knows how to use sweet words to deceive you into happiness, but he doesn't put Grandpa's birthday in his heart at all. Listen to Auntie's words, such a man is unreliable!"

  Song Tianqing's words sounded reasonable at first, and many relatives and friends around her nodded in agreement. Even Song Lei herself felt a bit uneasy, blaming herself for not reminding Xiao Ping to prepare a gift for his grandfather as well.

  Although Xiao Ping has become the focus of everyone's attention, he still looks very calm. He smiled comfortingly at Song Lei and walked to Old Man Song's side, taking out a small red cloth package and saying softly: "Happy birthday to you, sir. This is a little something from Lei and me, please don't refuse it."

  Mr. Song appreciated Xiao Ping's calm demeanor and curiously looked at the red cloth package, "What is this?"

  Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Actually, nothing is important, what's important is our sincerity, right?"

  Xiao Ping's words struck a chord in Old Man Song's heart. The old man beamed with joy, saying: "Right, right! I love hearing you say that!"

  Next to Song Tianqing, seeing her father and Xiao Ping chatting happily, she quickly gave her daughter a wink, wanting her to interrupt the two men's conversation. Song Tianqing's daughter understood, immediately squeezed next to Old Man Song and said loudly: "Anyone can say nice words like that! You're just making excuses for your own lack of sincerity! Today is Grandpa's 70th birthday, but you only gave a piece of trash wrapped in a broken red cloth, clearly not putting our family in your eyes!"

  Song Tianqing's daughter was not a fool either, and while talking, she went to grab the red cloth package that Xiao Ping had placed on the table, wanting to throw it on the ground. However, in her haste, she only managed to grab one corner of the red cloth, and as a result, she only shook it open, but the thing wrapped inside remained on the table. As soon as the red cloth was lifted, everyone saw what Xiao Ping had sent - another complete ginseng with roots intact.

  An old man sitting at the main table saw this ginseng and his face suddenly changed, involuntarily shouting: "Ah! Real wild mountain ginseng!"

  This old man was a long-time good friend of Old Man Song's, and also a well-known Chinese doctor, so he naturally understood the situation. Rarely seeing his good friend lose his composure like this, Old Man Song hastily asked: "Gunshan brother, why are you so shocked?"

  Gen Shan old man didn't even bother to answer Song Lao Yezi, and directly picked up the ginseng to examine it carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised his expression became, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah... look at this rhizome and root system, this old mountain ginseng has grown for over a hundred years!"

  As soon as the old man of Gen Mountain spoke, everyone around him was shocked. Although they didn't know how to distinguish good and bad ginseng, the value of a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng had still been heard. Many people were secretly guessing how much such a wild mountain ginseng would be worth. The old man of Gen Mountain had already said in front of everyone: "Old Song, we are old acquaintances for decades, and I won't be polite with you. You can't use such a large piece of wild mountain ginseng by yourself, so why not give it to me? Such a piece of ginseng can save many lives. I'll offer 15 million yuan, how about that?"

  As soon as Gen Shan Lao Ren said this, many people around him took a cold breath. Everyone knew that wild ginseng was expensive, but they didn't expect it to be so expensive. Even Song Lao Yezi was shocked and shook his head with a bitter smile: "Gen Shan brother, this ginseng belongs to Xiao Qiao, I really can't accept such an expensive gift from him, if you really want to buy it, you should discuss it with him."

  "How can a gift that has been given out be taken back?" Before Gu Shan old man could speak, Xiao Ping hastily said to Song old master: "I just said that the gift is a token of our sincerity, if you don't accept it, then you are rejecting Lele and my kind intentions."

  When Xiao Ping said that, many people thought he was just saying nice things to coax the old man, but now everyone's gaze towards him is different. Many people are secretly guessing what identity this young man has, able to give such an expensive gift yet still be so low-key, this background definitely won't be small.

  These words also made Old Man Song thoughtful, he looked at his granddaughter standing beside Xiao Ping with a happy expression and finally nodded: "Alright, I accept this kind intention!"

  Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Thank you for accepting my heartfelt gift."

  Old Man Song was also delighted and smiled at Song Le, saying: "Le, you're doing great!"

  Although Song Le was always cheerful, she couldn't help but blush at this time. The other guests' views on Xiao Ping also changed, and they all felt that this young man had real ability but was low-key, which was really great. Compared to him, Tang Jiaqiang, who just sent a little something and showed off proudly, was simply like a clown.

  I didn't expect to end up like this, Tang Jiaqiang was so angry that his face twisted. Song Tianliang and Song Tianqing on the side were both worried and afraid, they exchanged a glance, but it was Song Tianqing who came forward to persuade: "Tang Shao, don't be angry. Lere is young and doesn't understand things, that's why she fell for that kid, we'll definitely be able to persuade her to change her mind."

  "Really?" Tang Jiaqiang was extremely infatuated with Song Leisi, and after hearing Song Tianqing's words, he couldn't help but feel a few more glimmers of hope.

  "How dare we deceive you." Song Tianliang seized the opportunity to say: "As long as Tang waits for a while and speaks personally, Lele's parents will definitely not dare to refuse his kindness. Lele is a filial child and will definitely listen to her parents' words and accept your offer."

  "That's right, Aunt Song is absolutely right." Song Tianliang smiled and said: "In the future, we will be relatives, Tang Shao must say a few good words to your father for Uncle and Aunt."

  These two people sold even their niece to make money, and they didn't have the slightest sense of responsibility as elders. However, Tang Jiaqiang was very pleased to hear such words, he regained his confidence, and said with a hint of complacency: "Don't worry, I won't forget your kindness when the time comes!"

  The three were chatting when Tang Jiaqiang's mobile phone rang. He answered it and immediately looked delighted, quickly hanging up the phone and saying: "My parents have arrived!"
