As Cheng Ling didn’t want others to hear what she said, she leaned close to Lu Qi to say it.
Lu Qi could smell the red wine on Cheng Ling’s body. It was faint, but it was abnormally pungent.
Seeing Old Master Cheng accept the ginseng with satisfaction, Cheng Xiao smiled and said, “Where’s Sister? What gift has Sister prepared for Grandpa?”
Cheng Ling picked up the bottle of wine that was near her feet and placed it in front of Old Master Cheng.
Old Master Cheng glanced at Cheng Ling as if he didn’t believe that she could bring out such a wine.
Then, he picked up the bottle of wine and observed it carefully.
Ding Shun said from the side, “This wine looks so good! Cheng Ling, didn’t you know how to show filial piety to your Grandpa Ding when you have such good wine?”
Cheng Ling knew that Ding Shun was helping her.
Sure enough, when he heard Ding Shun say this, Old Master Cheng immediately hugged the bottle of wine and couldn’t put it down.
“This wine is really good!”
He turned his head to look at Cheng Ming and the other male guests, anxiously begging for their approval.
Hearing Old Master Ding’s words, these people didn’t dare to say anything bad and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
“Oh, that’s right.”
Cheng Ling then took out the tea bags she had prepared.
“I saw that you seem to be coughing recently, so I have prepared you the teabag. If you’re willing, you can drink it.”
Xie Wan was initially worried that she wouldn’t have a chance to suppress Cheng Ling, who had found such a good bottle of wine that she couldn’t say anything. She didn’t expect that this opportunity would come in the next second.
At such a grand birthday banquet, she actually gave a few tea bags. What was this?
Sure enough, Old Master Cheng’s expression turned ugly. There were so many guests here, and she gave such a worthless thing. It was so embarrassing.
Didn’t this just get on Old Master Cheng’s nerves?
“Cheng Ling, how can you give this thing? How can this worthless thing be worthy of grandfather?” Xie Wan said.
“Exactly. As expected, a dog can not change its behavior of eating shit. No matter how you disguise yourself, you still can’t change your behavior.”
The guest standing on Xie Wan’s side said in a loud voice.
Old Master Cheng coughed and then handed the bottle of wine to Xie Wan, asking her to seal it properly. However, the teabag was just placed on the table. His intention was very obvious.
Cheng Ling didn’t care. It seemed that she had already guessed this outcome. She raised her eyebrows and was about to take the teabag back when she saw Old Master Jin looking at her with shining eyes. “Cheng Ling…”
Elder Jin was quite polite just now, so Cheng Ling was a little patient now.
“What’s the matter, Grandpa Jin?”
Jin Wang pointed at the teabag on the table, rubbed his hands, and said in embarrassment, “This teabag… if your Grandpa doesn’t want it, can you give it to me?”
“This… Elder Jin, why do you want this teabag? If you like tea, I have tea cakes that have been in my study for several years. I’ll bring them to you later.”
Elder Jin waved his hand. “I don’t want those tea cakes. I have so many that I can’t fit them all in my house. I only want this teabag of Cheng Ling.”
The whispers sounded again.
“What’s going on? Why does Elder Jin want such a worthless thing?”
“Say it quietly. Don’t let Elder Jin hear it. He’ll definitely be angry.”
Looking at Jin Wang’s eager eyes, Cheng Ling nodded.
“Okay, you can have the teabag. Drinking it once or twice a day will greatly improve your health.”
Hearing this, Elder Jin immediately beamed with joy.
“That’s great! You, go get me a cup of hot water. I want to make this tea right now!”
Elder Jin randomly pointed at a person and ordered her to pour the water.
Cheng Xiao, who was pointed at, stood awkwardly on the side. She was the true daughter of the Cheng family. Now she was asked to pour the water?
Cheng Xiao’s eyes were red. Cheng Ling had taken all the limelight tonight!
Naturally, she couldn’t go and pour the water, so she called a servant to do it.
After that, the other guests sent gifts one after another, and this birthday banquet finally came to an end.
When ith banquet ended, of course, they had to send the big shots away first.
Old Master Cheng sent Elder Jin out.
“Elder Jin, it’s been hard on you to come here today.”
Elder Jin was in an extremely good mood when he received Cheng Ling’s teabag. “It’s fine. No matter how far it is, it’s worthy to come over to see Cheng Ling!”
Cheng Ling couldn’t help but feel happy when she heard Elder Jin’s words. When Elder Jin asked for her teabag in front of everyone, she felt that Elder Jin had changed. He was no longer that lofty person like before.
Before Elder Jin got into the car, Cheng Ling said to Elder Jin, “I’ll call you tonight. I’ll arrange a time for consultation.”
“Cheng Ling, what do you mean by this?”
