Chapter 71.2
Shen Xingsui took out the gift from the cabinet, and held it carefully. He first took out a gift box and walked up to Xu Enzhen. Inside was a water-blue gemstone necklace. The gemstone on this necklace was pure, and the cut was chic. The size itself was quite small, but the design only made it look exquisite.
Shen Xingsui softly said, I know you have never liked showy jewelry. When I saw this piece in a fashion magazine, I thought that you might like it. I think its very beautiful.
Xu Enzhen was very excited, but she didnt know what to say in response. Finally, she asked, Suisui, did you buy this yourself?
Shen Xingsui nodded and immediately took out another gift for her. It was a set of knitting utensils, which looked rather ordinary. I know you usually like to do handicrafts. Last time when I went to Taohuawu town, I saw a shop selling these. The seller said it is for protecting your hands during sewing or other activities. So, I thought of you, maybe you can use it
These sincere words landed a critical hit on Xu Enzhens heart. Xu Enzhen could only look at Shen Xingsui and said softly, Thank you, Suisui. Mom will use it from now on.
Shen Xingsui showed a shy smile.
Xu Enzhen took a look at the necklace box again, and she couldnt put it down, This is the best jewelry gift I received. Can I wear it now?
Shen Xingsui nodded, and he also happily replied, Yes, of course, as long as you like it.
Xu Enzhen said with a smile, Can Suisui put it on me?
Okay.
He picked up the necklace. This was the first time he ever put on a jewelry for a woman. He was a little nervous, and his hands were even trembling. The price of this necklace was very expensive. He didnt even have the courage to spend this amount of money when he was stil Jian Xingsui. But when he saw this necklace, he knew he had to buy it for his mother.
Just as he expected, the water-blue necklace was indeed very suitable.
Xu Enzhens eyelashes trembled slightly, and asked her husband and childrenl Is it good-looking?
Shen Yong nodded. It looks very good.
Others also nodded absent-mindedly.
The rest actually felt sour. They also wanted a gift from Suisui
Fortunately, Shen Xingsui was a filial son and generous brother. He took another gift, this time for Shen Yong. Dad, I also have something for you.
The middle-aged man immediately put down his chopsticks. Suisui truly has a gentle heart. Dad will love whatever you give him, but Suisui really doesnt need to buy me anything.
Shen Xingchen rudely interjected, Since Dad doesnt want it. Suisui, why dont you give it to me instead?
If looks could kill, Shen Xingchen would be dead many times over.
Shen Xingsui smiled helplessly, handed the gift box to his father, and said with a cautious tone, The watch I bought this time is not a particularly good watch
Inside the gift box was a black-gold diamond watch. The market price was about two million, but compared to Shen Yongs usual custom-made watch of nearly ten million, it was indeed not particularly comparable.
But Shen Yong immediately took it over, and said in a low voice, No, I like this very much. Thank you, Suisui.
Seeing his Father take it happily, Shen Xingsui was glad. As long as you like it.
Shen Yong wanted to wear it now. Without a hint of hesitation, he took of his luxury watch he had been wearing for several years. However, putting on a watch like this was a bit inconvenient, so Shen Xingsui offered, Ill help you.
The Shen patriarch might looked very stern and intimidating, but he was actually very soft to his family. Okay.
Shen Xingsui helped him put it on with a smile.
After putting on the gift watch, Shen Yong showed a smile, he even rolled up his sleeves, as if to show it off.
Shen Minglang has been observing secretly.
Luckily, it was his turn, and Shen Xingsui came to him with a small box. The box looked small, but it was very delicate, and when he opened it, it was a pair of exquisite glasses.
Shen Xingsui said in a soft voice, Some time ago, I asked Mom about Dages prescription. I know you changed your glasses regularly, so I want to customize a pair for you. I actually got help from Teacher Fu, as he had a contact from your favorite store.
Shen Minglang knew at a glance that Fu Jinxiao was probably cheating him. His glasses were something custom-made by a master craftsman. So, how could he have a favorite store?
But the gold-rimmed glasses in Shen Xingsuis hands were also very beautiful. The workmanship was very delicate. It was indeed something of an art, it couldnt be cheap. Fu Jinxiao probably told Shen Xingsui a lie about its actual price, and even paid a portion of it.
Shen Minglang who has always been very picky about the cost of his things, as he only wanted to use the best of the best easily said, I could tell from the style, it was indeed an item from my go-to store. Thank you Suisui, especially because I know you put your heart into your gifts.
Shen Xingsui smiled shyly.
Then it was Shen Xingchens turn to present gifts, and the young master looked like he could vibrated out of his seat from sheer excitement. Shen Xingsui gave him a limited-edition game console. This was a gift that made Shen Xingchen shriek with joy, and he outright hugged Shen Xingsui very tightly.
During the meal, Xu Enzhen finally asked something that had been nagging her, Suisui, these gifts cost a lot of money. Do you have enough money?
Mn. I have more than enough. Shen Xingsui ate a couple of bites before adding, I have my pocket money, plus I also have my salary and music commission fees. Dont worry, I also put some of them in my savings account. Plus, I dont spend it recklessly, so I was never strapped for cash.
Shen Xingchen suddenly realized, Of course you never lack money, you never buy yourself anything
Shen Xingsui smiled and replied, I usually have enough food and clothing, and I dont lack anything.
Although he didnt say it clearly, everyone basically guessed that Shen Xingsui probably used all his pocket money to buy these gifts. How can there be such a silly child who used all his savings to gift his family like this?
Xu Enzhen felt sorry for him and said: Suisui, as long as you buy it for us, Mom and Dad will like it very much regardless of the price. You dont need to buy us expensive gifts if it costs you your savings. Okay?
I uhm I just want to give you all the best within my ability.
Everyone but Shen Xingsui looked at each other, and they have this tacit understanding of Shen Xingsuis train of thoughts.
They were very much aware of Shen Xingsuis abandonment issues and how he tried to overcompensate for them. They could only keep reassuring him while showering him with love. Changes could only happen slowly. If they overdone their love, it might backfire, as it might make Shen Xingsui think that they wanted something out of him.
But this was the limit of their tacit understanding. They have this competitive side of them.
They looked away one after another, and started their own small calculations. After all, the other old foxes should not know about the plan to compete for favor, or they would be robbed of their limelight.
Afternoon, the Shen grandparents manor.
Shen Xingsuis family arrived at his grandfathers manor. The moment he saw his grandfather, though, he was completely dumbfounded.
The old man said with a huge smile on his face, Suisui, long time no see.
Youwe seem to have met somewhere. Shen Xingsuis voice stuttered, Didnt we meet back in that uh reality show recording? Ah, youre Chef Guyun!
Ahaha, indeed I am. However, thats just my professional name or sorts. My name is Shen Congsheng1I double-checked it, and indeed, in chapter 53, his name is Shen Guyun, not Shen Congsheng. I think the author just forgot lol. So, I made Guyun as his stage-name of sorts.. Wearing a white coat, the old man came over to look at his grandson. At that time, your grandma and I wanted to see you very much. Bue we didnt dare to hinder you from filming the show, so we held back. Ah, you dont mind, do you?
Shen Xingsui shook his head hastily: I dont mind! I was a little surprised, and then I was a little scared, but fortunately I didnt make any mistakes at that time to disappoint you.
The old man led Shen Xingsui into the manor as he said with a smile. My child, you are very good. You have worked hard outside these years, and now that you are home, you dont have to worry. This is your home, your family.
Shen Xingsui was very nervous before coming here, fearing that if he did not do well, he would be disliked. Thankfully, his grandfather was a very kind and accepting man.
Then, he met a graceful old lady. Even with her wrinkled face and gray hair, she was still a beautiful woman. She must have been a stunning beauty when she was young. Seeing her husband and her grandson, he immediately approached them with a warm smile, Come in Suisui. I made pastries and afternoon tea for you. Ah, oh yes, Grandma still has something to give you.
Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment.
Xu Enzhen smiled and encouraged him, Go.
Shen Xingsui went upstairs with his grandma. As they walked, she chatted a lot. Finally, they arrived at a study, where she took out a jewelry box from the cabinet and said, When your mother was pregnant with you, I specially made two concentric bracelets for her to congratulate her. I also found a famous Taoist priest to consecrate them. It has the effect of exorcizing evil spirits. At that time, it was my wish for you to grow up healthily and happily, so I would give this to you when you are born. However it was never given out after that incident. So, I kept the bracelet with me. The old woman sighed, but smiled again when she saw Shen Xingsui, Its all right now. Since you have come home, Grandma will return this to you. It was supposed to be yours.
Shen Xingsui took it over gratefully. As he looked at the twin bracelet, he asked, Grandma, are these braceletssupposed to be worn in each hand?
This pair of gold-plated silver bracelets looked very beautiful, and there was a concentric lock as the centerpiece. It was very elegant and luxurious.
As soon as the old woman heard about it, she explained, No, Suisui. One of the pair is yours, while the other is for your fianc to wear.
Shen Xingsui was taken aback for a moment, he didnt know what kind of fiance he had, What are you talking about, Im not engaged yet.
How could that be? The old woman said with a smile. I just heard from your mother that you and the eldest son of the Fu family are engaged to be married. I thought to myself, how can I neglect him? Since you two are engaged, we have to follow the rules, so the other bracelet is his.
Shen Xingsui stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, as if his grandmother was talking nonsense to him.
Ah? Uh? What are you talking about? Shen Xingsui stammered, So uhm we are engaged? Since when? Ah, is it a baby engagement, then? Why dont I know this?
The old woman was slightly surprised, and she elaborated, It seems that Enzhen hasnt told you yet? Yes, it is a baby engagement, made before both of you are born. If I remember correctly, the eldest son of the Fu family is a very good person, so you dont have to worry about him.
Shen Xingsui replied, Thats not what Im worried about, Grandma
Of course Fu Jinxiao was a good person, but thats not the point!
The old woman nodded with a smile and said, Yes, I remember what his name is its Fu Jinxiao. Now that you two are old enough, when will you bring him back to see us?
