282 Congratulatory Gift?
“I’m preparing to give Mr. Qingzhai’s calligraphy as a congratulatory gift to Yan Xi. He has always liked these things! Dad, if you have any other thoughts, you can tell me directly,” Su Lu said respectfully as he looked at Su Zheng.
Su Zheng nodded and thought for a moment before continuing, “This congratulatory gift is already precious enough. Just throw in a few more complimentary items to go along with it!”
As Su Zheng spoke, he turned to look at Su Qing. “Qingqing, you’ll go to the wedding too.”
Su Qing suddenly came back to her senses and nodded lightly. She was a little stunned when she heard her third brother suddenly mention her pen name! She had completely forgotten that she still had a calligraphy set in her third brother’s hands!
Back then, Su Lu had bought that work for Su Yan at a high price of 80 million yuan! However, hadn’t that calligraphy piece been destroyed by Su Yan?
At the thought of this, Su Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Wasn’t that piece dirtied by Su Yan? Can we still give it away?”
When Su Lu saw his sister looking at him seriously, he explained gently, “Although it’s a little dirty, the area is very small and not very serious, and it doesn’t affect the overall image. It’s still fine to give it away.”
“But didn’t Daddy say that this wedding banquet is very important? Won’t their family mind if we give it away like this? After all, it’s indeed a work that has been contaminated!” Su Qian thought for a moment and said worriedly.
Su Lu had always been meticulous, but this time, he was wrong.
He felt that with his friendship with Yan Xi, this gift was already expensive enough. Yan Xi definitely wouldn’t care about that little stain.
However, his father had just spoken, so this gift didn’t just represent him. It represented the Su family’s reputation. In that case, it was indeed inappropriate!
“Fifth Brother is right. I neglected this point. Then, I can’t give this congratulatory gift to the Yan family. This matter is serious, and it represents the reputation of the two families.” Su Lu frowned slightly and said calmly.
Su Qing looked at her brother’s worried expression and was silent for a few seconds before asking softly, “Does Yan Xi really like Qingzhai?”
Su Lu looked up at her, and even the people present turned to look at Su Qing.
Su Lu nodded. “That’s right! He likes Mr. Qingzhai very much. I’ve heard him mention him several times when we chatted.”
“And he’s your best friend, Third Brother?” Su Qing asked seriously, her eyes clear.
When Su Qian heard his sister’s question, he quickly explained to her, “Brother Yan Xi and Third Brother are really close. They grew up together! They’re just slightly a little less close than Third Brother’s relationship with Fourth Brother!”
When Su Lu heard this, he glanced at Su Qian indifferently but didn’t say anything. He felt that his fifth brother was exaggerating. He and Su Lu were twins, and they had grown up together.
Of course, Su Qing didn’t know that her fourth brother’s heart ached because of Su Qian’s words.
In Su Shui’s eyes, Su Lu was a very special existence. He was very different from his other two elder brothers.
Since Yan Xi was Third Brother’s best friend and a loyal fan of her work, she had to help him!
It seemed a little too outrageous to pretend that she didn’t know! Thinking of this, Su Qing said, “I have a way to get Qingzhai’s paintings. Does Yan Xi like calligraphy more, or paintings more?”
Su Lu was speechless.
“Qingqing, why do you make it sound like it’s easy for you to pick and choose Qingzhai’s works? Do you know that Qingzhai’s things are difficult to find on the market?” Su Zheng asked in confusion.
Kong Yue put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Su Qing. “Let’s not talk about that first! Qingqing, why do you have such connections? Do you know Qingzhai?”
Kong Yue knew her precious daughter’s personality. If she wasn’t completely confident, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to volunteer.
When Su Qing heard this, she swallowed a mouthful of water. She felt that this kind of conversation seemed a little dangerous! If she were to be honest with her family at this moment that she was Qingzhai herself, the timing didn’t seem right!
After all, Fifth Brother must have already told the family that she knew how to play the piano today. Although her mother happily accepted this fact, if she did it again, wouldn’t the impact be too great?
