Wang Li was still smiling. “Alright, your brother and I will go in first. Tan Si keeps saying that she hasn’t seen Aunt for a long time and misses you. She asked to chat with you for a while. She specially applied for leave from the production team and traveled a long way to buy this gift. She said that you would definitely like it and we couldn’t stop her!”
Tan Rou had a faint smile. Wang Li was not surprised to see Tan Ron’s expression. In her impression, Tan Rou had always been so cold when facing their family. Just looking at her made her lose the desire to speak, so she did not force herself to talk to her. Before she left, she gave Tan Si a look and pulled her husband in first.
It was not easy for Tan Si to get a chance to show herself. However, when she looked at Tan Ming, who was standing at the side, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, she still had to suppress her anger. She looked at Tan Rou with a smile. “Aunt, happy birthday to you. Hope you have this day for many more years!”
With that said, Tan Si took out another gift box and opened it. “Aunt, this is the jade raw material 1 specially went to Xiyun to choose for you.”
Tan Rou took the gift box and looked at it politely. She looked up at Tan Si and revealed a faint smile. She said distantly, “Thank you. Your gift is very beautiful. 1 like it very much.”
Of course, Tan Si could tell that Tan Rou was being perfunctory. She was a little unhappy, but in order to get Tan Rou to like her, she forced herself to pretend to be intimate with Tan Rou and grabbed her arm. “Aunt, you’ve been overseas for so many years. Anything fun there?”
Tan Rou glanced at Tan Ming, who had been squeezed to the side, and said to Tan Si, “Nothing much. I was just undergoing treatment and working.”
After saying that, Tan Rou stretched out her arm to Tan Ming. The smile in her eyes became much more vivid. “You’re going to give me the box in your hand, right? I thought you were just going to say a blessing or two, and come freeload on my food.”
Tan Ming quickly reached out to hold Tan Ron’s hand and handed her the gift box with her other hand. She smiled and replied, “I’m not that thick-skinned. These are the raw jade materials 1 got for you. 1 hope you can use them to make the best work.”
Tan Rou opened the box. There were two pieces of jade lying inside. She was in the industry and knew the original price very well. When she saw the quality of the jade, her pupils widened slightly. “Two pieces together would cost tens of millions! Where did you get so much money?”
Tan Rou knew the unspoken rules of sugar daddy relationships in the entertainment industry. She couldn’t help but suspect something. She grabbed Tan Ming’s hand and spoke in a stern voice.
Unexpectedly, Tan Ming was shocked and hurriedly explained, “Aunt, 1 bought this from stone gambling. It only cost 1.15 million yuan.”
When Tan Rou heard this, a suspicious expression appeared on her face. “You know how to gamble stones?! You even won two pieces in one go?”
Tan Ming held her forehead helplessly. “It’s absolutely true. 1 don’t know what kind of insane luck I had that day. 1 bought two pieces and won both pieces. Otherwise, how would 1 have had so much money to buy them?”
Tan Ming looked at Tan Rou sincerely and continued to say half-truthfully, “Remember 1 filmed a variety show previously and even filmed an advertisement? I had some money, so I wanted to give it a try. Don’t you know me? If 1 didn’t have money, 1 would have the cheek to give you something handmade instead. I’m not the kind of person who wants to save face!”
Tan Ming paused for a moment and smiled at Tan Rou. She saw her lips purse.
“It’s the thought that counts!” the two of them said in unison. Then, they looked at each other and smiled.
Tan Ming looked at Tan Rou like she did when she was young and shook her arm. “1 know you never cared about material things. I won’t do anything immoral for money.”
Tan Rou pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s good that you know. Auntie trusts you.”
Tan Si’s heart ached when she saw Tan Rou and Tan Ming’s natural and intimate actions. Her crossed arms were almost ruining her fair skin.
Tan Si squeezed out a smile and insisted on butting into their conversation. “Aunt, I’m not so lucky. I spent money to buy this gift. At that time, 1 went through the entire jade market. It wasn’t easy for me to see this piece and think that you would definitely like it, so 1 immediately bought it.”
Tan Rou shifted her gaze to Tan Si and said gently, “Tan Si, it’s not easy for you to earn money. You don’t have to give such an expensive gift in the future. It’s just a birthday. The main point of this is for everyone to gather for a meal..”
