Chapter 163 The Lan Family Changed Their Faces
Zhao Gang nodded, prompting her to continue opening the gifts.
The gift from Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang was a hand-knitted blanket, soft and warm.
There are colorful patterns on the blanket, and every stitch and thread is filled with the love of the two old people for Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao looked up at Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, "Thank you for the blanket, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang. I won't have to worry about having a blanket to cover myself with in the winter."
Jiang Linkai’s gift was a stylish speaker. He hoped that Nan Qiao would think of him first when she heard music in the future.
Professor Gu gave me a pair of custom-made glasses with an exquisitely designed frame that was stylish and comfortable, and the lenses had special eye protection functions.
Professor Gu thought that young people nowadays are either looking at their mobile phones or computers, and these eye-protection glasses are very practical.
Dr. Jiang’s gift was a high-tech smart bracelet.
The bracelet is fully functional. It can not only monitor health data, but also has convenient learning assistance functions. I hope Nanqiao can take better care of herself and improve her efficiency in her busy life and study.
Next came Fang Xuyao’s gift. The moment Nan Qiao opened it, her eyes lit up.
Fang Xuyao gave her a complete set of bedding.
The bed sheet has an exquisite pattern and its delicate touch is as soft as clouds; the color of the quilt cover is perfectly matched, full of warmth; the pillowcase is also exquisite, and the pink color is loved by every little girl.
Even the mosquito net was prepared, thin and fine, like a dreamy gauze curtain.
Moreover, this is the most popular bedding brand among girls online. Its design and quality are impeccable.
Nan Qiao was surprised and delighted. She looked up at Fang Xuyao and said, "I didn't expect that you are so carefree and heartless in normal times, but this time you gave me such a thoughtful gift."
Fang Xuyao's face flickered with discomfort after hearing this. He reached out and touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly, "Uh...this was actually prepared by Grandpa's assistant. I didn't spend too much effort on it."
But his slightly red ears betrayed his inner feelings.
"Thank you anyway."
In the end, only Wang Xiaoxuan's gift was left there unopened.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to open it, a hint of embarrassment crossed Wang Xiaoxuan's face. She bit her lip slightly and said, "Everyone's gifts are so valuable. My gift is too ordinary compared to everyone else's. Why don't we open it in public?"
Grandma Jiang smiled kindly and said gently, "Child, the value of a gift is not what matters. What matters is the thought behind it."
"You are Xiao Qiao's good friend. She will definitely like any gift you give her."
Nan Qiao also nodded vigorously at Wang Xiaoxuan, his eyes full of encouragement and comfort.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Nan Qiao gently opened the gift.
When the box was opened, a beautiful notebook appeared before everyone.
The pattern on the notebook is exquisite. The moon pattern seems to emit a soft glow, and the delicate brushstrokes show the light and shadow on the moon's surface vividly.
The tulips are lifelike and colorful, just like real flowers blooming on the paper. Each petal has a unique texture and is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.
Nan Qiao looked at the notebook, a bright smile on her face. She exclaimed in surprise, "How beautiful! This notebook is really exquisite. I'm afraid I will never be able to make such a beautiful notebook."
People around also gathered around to admire and praised Wang Xiaoxuan's craftsmanship.
Wang Xiaoxuan was encouraged and not so nervous anymore. She even introduced the notebook she made to Nan Qiao.
The time was almost up, the birthday party was over, and everyone prepared to leave after receiving their photos.
When everyone walked out of the banquet hall, Pang Shi's usually dignified face was now filled with a flattering smile. His eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao, as if she was his last straw, and every wrinkle contained a humble plea.
Pang Min stood aside, his face full of unwillingness. His expression seemed to be full of resentment at the dramatic scene before him, but he was helpless. He could only bite his lips, with a complex fire burning in his eyes.
Looking at the Lan family again, there was anticipation in their eyes.
Jiang Peishan smiled widely, and her smile was so bright that it seemed as if there had never been any rift between them, as if those words that disliked Nan Qiao had never come out of her mouth before. At this moment, she was like a kind and amiable elder.
Lan Zhiming had a kind face, like a father who was eagerly waiting for his daughter to return, and the warmth in his eyes seemed to melt people.
Lan Yuchen's posture was still as straight as a pine tree, but his usually cold face was now calm. His eyes fell quietly on Nan Qiao, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and disdain. What was wrong with these people? They were like completely different people, had their personalities changed?
As soon as Pang Shi saw Nan Qiao coming out of the banquet hall, he hurriedly pulled Pang Min forward with a flattering smile on his face.
She said anxiously, "Miss Nan Qiao is out. It's all because I'm ignorant. She didn't tell me that you were also celebrating your birthday here today. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have let these things happen, and I wouldn't have made so many jokes."
As he spoke, Pang Shi tugged at Pang Min and lowered his voice to scold, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Nan Qiao!"
Pang Min, however, had a stubborn look on his face. He suddenly broke free from Pang Shi's hand, turned his head away, and looked as if he would never do that even if he was beaten to death.
Seeing this, Pang Shi smiled awkwardly, then bowed deeply to Nan Qiao and said earnestly, "Miss Nan Qiao, I'm really sorry this time."
"Look, I've been working diligently in the officialdom for so many years. This is really a misunderstanding."
"You have a special relationship with the leader. Could you please help me put in a good word for him? Explain that everything today was just a misunderstanding."
"As long as you help me this time, I will go through fire and water for you if you have any instructions in the future!"
Nan Qiao looked at him coldly and said in a flat tone: "Pang Shi, I'm afraid you have misunderstood."
"This is my first time meeting the leader, and I'm not familiar with him. How can I change his decision? You should find another way."
After saying that, Nan Qiao didn't want to bother with them any more, so he walked straight around them and strode out.
At this moment, Jiang Peishan, with a seemingly friendly smile on her face, quickly stepped forward, a complex light flashing in her eyes as she said, "Xiao Qiao, look at what's happened. Today is your birthday, and we didn't even know about it. This is really our fault."
"Come back to the Lan family with us. We'll celebrate for you again and make up for our previous negligence."
