697 Side Story (97)
“Oh?” Bo Zhan was very surprised.
Not only him, but Bo Yunli and su ye also looked over.
The box opened with a click.
There was a purple jade pendant with exquisite carvings inside.
It was an extremely smooth violet color.
Su also remembered that this was the stone of excellent quality that his son had brought back when Su Xing had brought them to stone gambling.
“You guys carved it?” Su also asked.
“I made it with brother.” Bo Yimo nodded.
“Not bad.” Bo Yunli patted his daughter’s head.
Bo Zhan’s eyes lit up and he took out the pendant from the box.
He placed it in his hand and felt the extremely soft and smooth carved lines. Then, he took out the piece that he had been carrying with him, the one that Bai yueguang had bought with him.
He looked at the two pendants that had similar shapes and patterns. After a long time, he sighed.”The children are so considerate.”
we saw that you liked this pendant a lot, so we made one for you according to its similar style, ” Bo Yicheng said.
After all, the piece in great-grandfather’s hand would be completely beyond repair if it fell again.
After so many years, it was not an exaggeration to say that his body was crushed.
It was time to find a replacement.
Bo Zhan nodded slowly. Both pieces were very meaningful.
Bai yueguang had accompanied him to buy the previous one.
The events that happened on the day Bai yueguang accompanied him to buy the pendant were still fresh in his mind.
He was an unscrupulous and black-hearted boss who had set up a trap in the shop, the kind that wouldn’t let anyone leave without paying.
Bai yueguang was a miser, so it was unrealistic for him to keep an item that she had given him.
Hence, this item that she had bought with her was the most precious thing to Bo Zhan now.
The new piece was made by Bai yueguang’s great-grandnephews.
He also regarded it as a treasure.
Seeing that Bo Zhan had carefully kept the two pendants into his pocket, Bo Yimo furrowed her delicate eyebrows.”Great-grandpa, I have a new one. Please keep the previous one in case you break it again.”
However, Bo Zhan’s attitude was firm. Grandpa, you have to bring both with you.
Su ye and Bo Yunli did not say anything.
The brother and sister looked at each other and shrugged.
Fine, I wanted to make a substitute for my great-grandfather, but now that the two pieces are together, it’s easier to fall.
They thought that great-grandfather liked the pendant because of its size, feel, and pattern.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Bo Zhan had chosen this pendant.
But later on, the most important thing to him was no longer those things.
The older people had to go to bed early, so the birthday party was set at noon.
The children had gone to school. Su ye and Bo Yunli had more free time. On such an important day, of course they had to stay at home to accompany them.
At about 10 in the morning, guests arrived one after another.
First, it was Wang Qingshen. He was still wearing the striped formal suit, gentlemanly top hat, and walking stick that looked like he had just returned from abroad.
When the two brothers met, it was a standard smile-a smile that hid daggers.
Bo Zhan,”Aiya, why are you using a walking stick?” Didn’t you just laugh at me for sitting on a wheelchair a while ago?”
Hearing this, Wang Qingshen threw away his walking stick and took two steps forward with determination. “What do you know? My walking stick is just a decoration. It’s a gift from my granddaughter-in-law.”
“My granddaughter-in-law’s birthday gift,” Bo Zhan repeated without any clear meaning. Then, he pretended to take out the birthday gift from his great-grandchildren. this Hanhan was personally sculpted by my great-grandchildren, but don’t be jealous. Your great-grandson is only in primary school, and there’s only one of him. If he wants to receive a gift like this from me, he’ll have to wait another ten years, Hanhan.
Wang Qingshen gritted his teeth and said,”who said there’s only one?!” My granddaughter-in-law is pregnant with her second child!”
Su also looked on calmly as the two of them kept stabbing each other with knives.
She had been seeing this scene for more than 50 years.
He was already used to it.
He didn’t even have the desire to persuade her.
Bo Yunli couldn’t be bothered. At this moment, he was in the back kitchen, staring at the banquet dishes.
Due to Bo Zhan’s current health, he couldn’t eat many things.
And SU’s little mouth was also very sharp.
It wasn’t easy to serve these two ancestors well and gather a table of food.
On Bo Zhan’s side, it was only when Zhang Qingfeng, elder ye, and Yan Zhengwei arrived that the two brothers stopped their love-hate relationship.
Everyone had brought a gift.
The atmosphere in the living room became lively.
Yan Zhengwei passed the gift to the Butler and asked su ye after he sat down,”Where Are the Children?”
“I had class today,” su said.
“Oh, right. Today isn’t the weekend.” Yan Zhengwei nodded in realization.
It was quite a pity.
It was fine if the older one went to school, but the key was that he hadn’t seen little Jasmine for a few days, and he missed her very much.
The banquet in the backyard had not officially started yet, so the elder brothers were chatting in the living room.
It was an honor for those who were invited to Bo Zhan’s birthday banquet.
Even Zhai siqiao and Xie Yuzhou, who were also in the grandpas ‘group chat, did not receive an invitation.
The people invited this time were those who used to be close to su ye and were more convenient in the country.
With su around, everyone started to chat and the atmosphere was very lively.
The only regret was that the children were not around.
Su also showed them the videos of the children that she had recorded earlier.
The grandfathers passed it around one by one and liked it very much.
Bo Zhan noticed that everyone’s birthday gifts were handed over to the Butler for safekeeping, except for elder ye’s, which was still in his hands, as if it was a treasure.
Bo Zhan looked at the shape of the thing in his hand. It was a long roll and was carefully wrapped in a newspaper. Suddenly, he was interested.”Elder ye, the Kasaya you’re holding …”
Old Mr. Ye, who was watching Bo Moyi’s boxing video with great interest, paused and took out the painting.”I received this two years ago. It’s her original work. I know you like it, so I’m giving it to you as a birthday gift.”
Although he only used the term ‘she’ in an obscure way, everyone present instantly understood what he meant.
The Butler was sharp enough to put away the tea set on the coffee table and clear out an empty space.
The old Mr. Ye put the painting on the coffee table and carefully opened the newspaper.
The grandfathers surrounded the coffee table, leaned forward, and stared at the painting.
Wang Qingshen, in particular, felt that elder ye was taking too long to reveal the truth, so he rubbed his hands together anxiously.
Su also glanced at the corner of the painting that was revealed and raised his eyebrows.
She had so many authentic works?
Previously, Bo Yunli had also received one, but she had seen that one before. It was indeed her drawing.
She even said that Bo Yunli was sick and that she was right in front of him. He could have just asked her to draw one, but he had to pay a sky-high price to buy it from someone else.
However, Bo Yunli had said that he did not want her painting to be in someone else’s hands.
There was really no one else who could be jealous.
Finally, the newspapers were all removed. Elder ye carefully spread the painting on the table.
It was a landscape painting with a bold brush.
The men around the table were in an uproar.
Even Yan Zhengwei was craving for it.
SU’s eyes also swept over the painting …
