281 Su Mengâs Embarrassment
The people around them started whispering to each other. They didnât dare to talk about Grandfather Wei, but they had nothing to be afraid of when they talked about Su Meng.
Those peopleâs voices werenât soft, so Su Meng and Wei Xue both heard it. Wei Xue looked at Su Meng proudly, thinking that she had finally won a round.
Su Meng didnât care about the opinions of the people around her. She looked at Grandfather Wei and said slowly, âGrandpa, I wanted to send it to you off secretly after the birthday banquet, but now that so many people are curious, Iâll go and look for you. Please wait for a moment.
âSister-in-law, are you going to prepare now? Itâs fine if you donât, Grandpa wonât blame you. If you insist on doing so, I can go over and help you.â Wei Xue said gloatingly.
She said that she would help Su Meng, but she didnât even lift her butt. It seemed like she didnât intend to move at all.
!!
Su Meng looked at Wei Xue and suddenly laughed. Then, without saying a word, she turned around and walked back to where she was at. She picked up her coat from the chair and took out a red sealed bag the size of her palm.
Everyone looked at Su Meng curiously, wanting to see what she was holding. However, when they saw that it was just a small bag, they instantly lost interest.
The bag was so small and thin that there was nothing valuable in it.
They did not expect Su Meng, as the Young Madam of the Wei family, to be so stingy. She did not even prepare a decent gift. It was too embarrassing.
Seeing this situation, the happiest person was Wei Xue. In her opinion, Su Meng was just trying anything in a hurry. She couldnât find a gift from Wei Ting, so she simply took something as a gift.
Someone in the crowd said, âMiss Su, I know itâs impolite to say this, but I still want to ask, whatâs in your bag? I wonder if we can take a look?â
The one who spoke was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. After he finished speaking, he even exchanged a glance with Wei Xue.
Su Meng immediately understood. It seemed like this person was with Wei Xue. There were some things that Wei Xue couldnât say personally, so he was helping her.
Therefore, she smiled and replied, âI can do anything. However, this is a gift for Grandpa. Itâs up to Grandpa whether he wants to show it to you or not.â
Su Meng came back and handed the bag to Grandfather Wei. â Grandpa, happy birthday. I was in a hurry and couldnât prepare a better gift, so I can only ask you to accept it. â
Su Meng spoke humbly, as if the things inside were really worthless.
Grandfather Wei took it. From the feel of it, he also thought it was a small object.
However, he didnât care about the value of the gift. He only cared about the thought, so he said with a smile, âAs long as itâs a gift, Iâll like it. Itâs all about the heart. Thereâs no such thing as a heart being noble or lowly.â
As he spoke, he slowly opened the sealed bag and took out the things inside.
When he took out the item, everyone present couldnât help but take a deep breath, and then their faces showed disdain. Some people even laughed out loud.
Wei Xue looked at the things in Grandfather Weiâs hands and was so happy that she couldnât hold them anymore. She asked with a smile, âSister-in-law, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I can also help you prepare a gift. Even if thereâs no gift, Grandpa wonât say anything. But you canât be so perfunctory with Grandpa.â
Su Meng didnât say anything and didnât look at her, so she continued, âIs it because you donât have money? But thatâs not right. Brother Wei Ting should give you pocket money every month. The children of the Wei family always have a lot of pocket money.â
âUnless Brother Wei Ting doesnât want to give you money? But it doesnât seem like it. He even personally prepared a gift for you this time.â
A girl not far from Wei Xue suddenly spoke up, âIsnât that simple? Your sister-in-law must have spent all the pocket money your brother gave her, so she didnât have the money to prepare a gift.â
Wei Xue bit her lip and pretended to speak up for Su Meng. âThatâs impossible. My sister-in-law is not that kind of person. She⦠She may be a spendthrift, but sheâll never drop the ball at the critical moment.â
The girl sneered, âIsnât this a critical moment? Isnât this considered a failure? Elder Wei doted on her for nothing. I feel sorry for you.â
