Chapter 169: A painting by an unknown master as a gift
The three of them immediately began a strong condemnation mode——
"Brother, you are so mean. You actually hid such an important thing from us!"
"That's right, big brother. This is a happy event. Why are you hiding it so carefully?"
Mr. Huo was confused. "No, what are you talking about?"
"What?" The second old man said immediately: "Of course it's Tingxiao's wedding. His girlfriend came to the house today, and you actually kept it a secret from us!"
The third old man also echoed, "That's right, you have to tell us in advance, we as elders have to prepare red envelopes in advance."
When Mr. Huo heard about "Huo Tingxiao's marriage", he was shocked at first, but then he smiled happily.
Although I don’t know who told them this, who wouldn’t be happy to hear about such a happy event?
It was probably Huo Shu who told it, after all, she knew that Huo Tingxiao was going to bring Sheng Xia here.
The smile on Mr. Huo's face could no longer be hidden.
"Haha, I didn't expect you guys to know so quickly. Really, I wanted to give you a surprise!"
Just know it if you want to. You’ll know it all later anyway.
"Well, red envelopes and the like are all easy to talk about. If that doesn't work, just write a check, huh? You've got your checkbook with you, right?"
"If that doesn't work, I can just give you a black card with no limit, hahahaha..."
When everyone heard this, they realized that not only had Mr. Huo admitted it, but he had also begun to ask for a gift for his future granddaughter-in-law.
It seems that he is extremely satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law!
But since they were asked for such a big gift right at the beginning, the three of them immediately tightened their wallets.
Oh no, this old man is coming for their wallets!
As they were talking, Meng Meiqin came over with Gong Yuqing.
Huo Shu was very smart. She retreated to the side quietly and did not join in the fun.
As soon as Mr. Huo saw Meng Meiqi, his originally joyful expression suddenly turned gloomy.
Meng Meiqi came over with a smile and greeted respectfully.
"dad!"
When Mr. Huo heard this address, he was instantly displeased. How could she have the nerve to call him dad?
"I don't deserve it. Just call me Mr. Huo."
Mr. Huo didn't give Meng Meiqi any face at all, which made her look embarrassed.
But in front of everyone, Meng Meiqin still wanted to save some dignity for herself, so she smiled and asked with concern: "How are you feeling recently?"
Mr. Huo: "Not dead yet."
Meng Meiqin: “…”
There's really nothing to talk about today.
So she had to skip this topic and push Gong Yuqing to the front.
"Look, who's here?"
But she knew that Gong Yuqing was the daughter-in-law that Mr. Huo was most satisfied with, and this would definitely make Mr. Huo happy.
Gong Yuqing smiled politely and called out, "Hello, Grandpa Huo."
Mr. Huo was surprised to see Gong Yuqing appear here.
Today is a family dinner, and Meng Meiqin was allowed to attend by him, but Huo Shu didn't tell him that Gong Yuqing would also come.
Who invited her here?
Although Mr. Huo was surprised, Gong Yuqing was of a different status after all, so he didn't want to embarrass her in person, especially since he didn't dislike this young lady from the Gong family.
After all, before he met Shengxia, he was very interested in Gong Yuqing becoming the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family.
So, Mr. Huo smiled kindly and said, "Yuqing is here too."
In the past, Gong Yuqing had always been filial to him, otherwise he would not have chosen Gong Yuqing as his granddaughter-in-law.
Gong Yuqing was very happy to see that Mr. Huo's attitude towards her was as kind as ever.
"Grandpa Huo, it's my honor to be able to attend the Huo family's family dinner today. This is the gift I brought to you. It's not just a token of respect, but I hope you will accept it."
Gong Yuqing said this and handed a long gift box in her hand to Mr. Huo.
Seeing this, Mr. Huo smiled kindly and said, "Good boy, you are so thoughtful and brought a gift. You are so polite."
These are all basic social etiquette. Mr. Huo just accepted the gift politely and had no intention of opening it.
At this time, Gong Yuqing said, "Grandpa, please open it and have a look. This gift package is what you like."
Seeing this, the others also started to make a noise, "Yes, yes, Mr. Huo, Miss Gong is so thoughtful, let's open it and take a look."
Seeing this, Mr. Huo had no choice but to open it and take a look. But after seeing the gift clearly, his eyes widened instantly.
"Is this...is this a painting by the nameless master?"
Mr. Huo couldn't believe it, he thought it was just an ordinary gift, but who knew it contained a painting by an unknown master!
When the people around saw it, they all gasped.
Oh my god, it’s a painting by an unknown master!
Legend has it that a painting by an unknown master is worth a fortune, but the point is that it is hard to come by even with a fortune!
Because it is so rare!
Meng Meiqi didn't know much about paintings, but when she saw the expressions of the old man and the people around him, she knew that the gift Gong Yuqing sent must be extremely valuable, and she couldn't help but feel more satisfied with her.
Only such a generous person is worthy of the status of the Huo family's granddaughter-in-law!
When Gong Yuqing saw Mr. Huo’s reaction, she knew that she must have made the right choice in giving the painting.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that you like the paintings of the unknown master the most, so I specially found them for you, I hope you like them."
Upon hearing this, everyone admired Gong Yuqing's filial piety.
"Miss Gong was able to find the painting of the naming master. It's really thoughtful of her!"
"Yes, everyone knows that the old man's favorite is the paintings of the unknown master!"
His paintings have not appeared for many years. The last time they appeared was at a charity auction on the shelf, where they were sold to Mr. Huo for a high price of 20 million yuan.
Mr. Huo looked at the painting and couldn't let it go.
"This... this is too valuable. Grandpa Huo can't accept it." Grandpa Huo was naturally very happy when he saw it, but he also knew that the painting was so precious that it might not be appropriate to accept it.
Gong Yuqing smiled, "Grandpa, as long as you like it, it's worth it no matter how precious it is!"
"Besides, the gift is just to express my filial piety. You can't return my filial piety."
When the others present saw this, they couldn't help but admire Gong Yuqing.
Look at this granddaughter-in-law, she hasn’t even gotten married yet, but he’s already given such a big gift!
Seeing this, Meng Meiqin also chimed in, "Dad, we are all family, so don't be so distant with Yuqing, just accept it."
Mr. Huo didn't like Meng Meiqi, and when he heard her call him dad, his face instantly darkened again.
Mr. Huo was very unhappy about this, and it was this displeasure that made him ignore the loopholes in Meng Meiqin's words.
Seeing this, Huo Shu, who was not far away, came over to help speak up.
"Yes, Dad, Miss Gong is so kind, so don't refuse her."
