Chapter 262 - 262 His Gift
262 His Gift
However, it was not an illusion.
That was because the message and photo that Sang Qianqian had sent was currently sitting quietly in his chat box.
Shen Hanyu wanted to ask where she was, but he received several more messages.
[There’s a Christmas firework show in the city square tonight. Unfortunately, I’m too far away and can’t see it clearly.]
[From my point of view, it’s like a lonely meteor passing by.]
[Brother called me. I told him that even if I can’t watch the fireworks show, watching something similar to a shooting star was good enough.]
[In the end, my brother said sarcastically, “Not bad, you’re really a good child who knows how to deceive yourself by finding joy in hardship.”]
[How infuriating. He really is my brother.]
The corners of Shen Hanyu’s lips curled up slightly. His eyes softened when he imagined the girl’s angry look at the moment.
“Actually, I didn’t want Xiao Huan to go at first, and I disagreed with her going down this path for her future. I only reluctantly agreed after Hanyu had persuaded me.”
At the dining table, Old Lady Zhen was talking to her friends and family with a smile on her face.
In fact, the Zhen family wasn’t celebrating Christmas. The reason why it was so lively today was that the Second Young Lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Huan, had stood out and won the championship in an extremely prestigious International Piano Competition.
Therefore, the Zhen family’s relatives and friends had specially brought gifts to congratulate them.
Although the old lady said that, she was still very happy for her granddaughter who had won an international award. Moreover, her ability had been recognized by the world’s Piano Master.
“No matter what, she’s the champion. She must be rewarded.”
The old lady looked at Zhen Huan with a smile. “Don’t you like horseback riding? You can go to the horse track in the suburbs of Beijing whenever you want, but be careful.”
The horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing had been bought by Zhen Huan’s grandfather when he was still alive. The horses there were all purebreds from all over the world, and the most expensive one was worth more than a hundred million Yen.
Zhen Huan was only 14 years old this year. She had the beauty of a young girl. When she heard that her grandmother was giving her the horse track as a gift, she smiled so happily that her eyes curved into two small crescents. After all, she was still a child.
She gave the old lady a hug and thanked her sweetly, “Thank you, Grandma!”
“Xiao Huan, didn’t you hear what Grandma said? The reason you were allowed to participate in the competition was because your cousin Hanyu spoke up for you.”
Fang Lan joked, “You should thank him. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have won the award.”
Zhen Huan immediately picked up the glass of juice in front of her. “Thank you, Cousin Hanyu. If you want to go horse riding in the future, you can look for me anytime.”
However, Shen Hanyu was looking down at his phone, and did not respond.
Fang Lan tugged at Shen Hanyu’s arm. “Hanyu, Xiao Huan is talking to you!”
Shen Hanyu came back to his senses and glanced at the crowd. “I’m sorry, I have something to do. I’ll be leaving now.”
Then, he stood up and left without even looking at Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan was embarrassed and nervous. “Is Cousin Hanyu angry with me? Is my gift too small?”
“Your Cousin Hanyu isn’t that petty. He probably didn’t hear what you said at all.”
Fang Lan consoled her, “I’ll tell him for you later. If he wants to ride a horse in the future, he can just look for you.”
Zhen Huan was relieved. “Sister Fang Lan, you can come with Cousin Hanyu.”
Fang Lan was amused. “There’s still room for me?”
“Of course,” Zhen Huan said seriously. “You’ll be my Cousin-in-law, after all. Of course you can go.”
In fact, the people at the table had been secretly guessing the relationship between Shen Hanyu and Fang Lan.
Shen Hanyu’s aura was so cold and distant that many people didn’t even dare to look him in the eye. Only Fang Lan interacted with him casually, which naturally attracted many people’s attention.
Hearing Zhen Huan’s words, everyone’s expression suddenly changed, and they looked at Fang Lan with a subtle expression.
Fang Lan blushed and coughed awkwardly. “What nonsense are you saying, kid?”
“I’m not talking nonsense. Grandma said that she wants you to be my cousin-in-law. Also,”
Zhen Huan corrected her seriously, “Sister Fang Lan, I’m not a kid. I’m 14.”
“I don’t care if you’re 14 or above. In front of me, you’re still a little kid.”
Fang Lan picked up some food for Zhen Xiong with her chopsticks. “Now eat more and talk less so you can grow up faster!”
Everyone laughed at Fang Lan’s words, and the interlude at the dinner table quickly passed.
However, Shen Hanyu did not show up again for a while. Old Lady Zhen was worried and asked Fang Lan to go and take a look.
