she is sweeter than sugar

As soon as the title of Commander came out, it attracted another wave of people's attention.

Chu Shixian felt a little happier when she realized that everyone's eyes had returned to her again.

She regained her posture as a wealthy lady, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked up to Mrs. Gu step by step with restraint, and handed over the birthday gift to Mrs. Gu.

Chu Shixian benefited from everyone's gaze, and the smile on her face widened unconsciously, and she deliberately raised her voice, "That subordinate also said that he can't come to your banquet, so he wants to tell you sin."

Mrs. Gu took the birthday gift box and guessed right away who sent the gift at this time.

She touched the box and sighed, with a bit of worry and concern in her eyes, "That child..."

The voice was very soft, but even Chu Shixian who was standing beside Mrs. Gu couldn't hear clearly.

"Mom, what did you say?"

Mrs. Gu just glanced at Chu Shixian indifferently, "I said he has a heart."

A smile appeared on Chu Shixian's face again, which was nothing like glory.

There was also worry in Su Wan's eyes, and she said softly, "It looks like that kid can't come."

After a while, her hand was held by Gu Changrong, "They will be fine, don't you understand that kid, his heart is dark, who can cheat him?"

Su Wan nodded, and snuggled into Gu Changrong's arms.

Gu Jinling watched this scene, and silently stood behind Gu Changrong and Su Wan.

"Second brother will be fine."

He himself was not good at words, so even if he wanted to comfort him, he said it with a bit of rigidity.

Both Gu Changrong and Su Wan understood Gu Jinling's temper, and knew that he was trying to reassure them.

They didn't want their eldest son to worry about them either, so they comforted them with a smile, "Yes, your second brother will be fine, so relax."

Gu Jinling nodded calmly, and didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Chu Shixian, who has received a lot of attention because of the relationship with the commander, is still urging Mrs. Gu to open the birthday gift.

She had already tasted the sweetness, so naturally she didn't want to stop there.

She just wanted to let everyone see what the commander gave them to the Gu family, so that they would be more envious.

However, Mrs. Gu didn't want to open this birthday gift at this time, so she flatly refused.

At that time, Chu Shixian felt that she couldn't hold back her face.

She still wanted to rely on this birthday gift to restore her position in the circle of noble ladies in Songdu, but Mrs. Gu refused to tear it down!

If you don't open it to prove the value of the birthday gift, how can others believe that it was sent by a commander?

It would have been fine if the commander had come in person, but it would have been fine if he hadn't come, and even the people who came to give gifts were only in casual clothes, so how could everyone believe what she said?

Isn't this group of people with ugly faces just trying to insinuate that she is lying now?

If Chu Shixian didn't prove this enough to her, she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight!

It's just that Mrs. Gu was determined not to open the gift in public. When Mrs. Gu asked someone to take the gift away, she rolled her eyes and immediately snatched the gift from the waiter's hand, and opened it all at once. Open the box.

"Mom, don't hide and pinch. Everyone likes to see what's inside."

The gift box was opened, and it was too late when Mrs. Gu wanted to stop it.

Into the eyes, is a string of wooden beads.

Seeing this, Chu Shixian's expression suddenly dropped.

Looking closely at the wood, she didn't recognize what it was.

But what is so precious about such a small piece of wood?

A commander who gave such a chilling gift, isn't it embarrassing?

Or, that person is just as she guessed earlier, that is a fake?

At this moment, the noble lady who was watching from the side couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is... Small-leaf red sandalwood? And this carving, this inlay technique... This is a precious thing made in Beijing back then Bar?"

Chu Shixian was dumbfounded when she heard this, but the people around her surrounded her and admired the string of bracelets.

Chu Shixian only vaguely understood the words "ancient objects" and "used by the empress dowager", the haze on her face was swept away, and turned into a thick superiority.

Just then, she found that there was a greeting card under the bracelet.

She immediately picked up the greeting card and exaggeratedly said, "Oh, look, that person even left the greeting card himself."

Hearing this, the eyelids of the old lady, who originally thought it would be fine like this, twitched, and finally couldn't sit still.

She knocked on her crutches, stepped forward, and wanted to take the greeting card from Chu Shixian's hand, but Chu Shixian had already opened it quickly and read it out loud.
