Chapter 388: Thanks Boss (2)

It was just that in the midst of doing so, in his peripheral vision, he caught sight of the item that Liang Mumu was taking out…
The gift that Liang Mumu was giving to his grandfather was also an inkstone as well.
This inkstone looked strikingly similar to the one he had specially picked out for Soft Bun.
Or to be more exact, if one didn’t take a closer look at it, the similarity was nearly 100%!
Lin Jiage couldn’t help but shift his gaze toward Liang Mumu to take a good look at her.
Liang Mumu held the inkstone carefully with both of her hands as she presented it to Grandpa Lin with the same obedient and sweet voice she used, “Grandpa Lin, I was hesitant to give this gift earlier to you because I didn’t realize that I had clashed presents with Yaoyao…”
Shi Yao, who had been entirely focused on her cake all this while, heard her name being called and subconsciously raised her head and turned a confused look toward Liang Mumu and Grandpa Lin’s direction.
“Grandpa Lin, it wasn’t my intention to clash presents with Yaoyao…” Liang Mumu looked as if she was put in a spot. Halfway through her words, she bit her lips and held herself back. There was a brief moment of silence before she finally began speaking once more, “… However, I still want to apologize to you, Grandpa Lin. I hope you don’t mind receiving the same thing from me as well.”
Seeing this sight, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but clicked his tongue thrice in wonderment.
Liang Jiusi’s cousin sure had formidable acting skills. She should have enrolled in Beijing Film Academy with her talents!
Oh right, given those trashy results of hers, even if she were to apply for it, she probably wouldn’t get in either way… In the end, his Soft Bun was still better. Even though her Mathematics paper is filled with all kinds of mistakes, she was still someone who had managed to get into G University. This must be what they call ‘absolute superiority in intelligence’…
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage turned to look at Shi Yao, only to see that the latter had stopped eating and was looking at Liang Mumu intently. He scrunched his forehead together as he stretched his hand forth and pushed down her head lightly, saying, “Eat your food. Stop looking around.”
Shi Yao pouted in response to Lin Jiage’s words, but she didn’t refute him. She really picked up her fork and continued digging into her cake.
“Why would I mind that?” Grandpa Lin turned to Liang Huiling, who was standing beside Liang Mumu, and said, “Huiling, you have really brought Mumu up well.”
Liang Huiling replied with a polite smile, “You’re too kind, Uncle Lin. It’s because Mumu likes you and is worried about displeasing you, that’s why she’s acting so obediently. She has never been this way around me at home!”
The smile on Grandpa Lin’s face brightened as he said, “No matter what the gift is, it’s the sincerity that counts.”
As he spoke, he turned to Liang Mumu and raised his hand to accept Liang Mumu’s gift.
It was just that barely after Grandpa Lin lifted his hand a little, Shen Bailian suddenly started talking, “Grandpa Lin, Mumu is really too kind for her own good! You don’t know just how much she respects you. She bought this inkstone for you while we were hanging out with one another overseas over the Chinese New Year. As soon as she set her eyes on the inkstone, she immediately knew that you would love it, and she made up her mind to buy it for you as your birthday gifts. So, even if the gifts had clashed, it’s not Mumu’s fault but Yaoyao’s…”
Liang Mumu immediately interjected sharply at this point, “Bailian, stop talking! It’s already over now, so what’s the point of talking about this now?”
Oh hoh… So this is where the true show starts… She’s using the mouth of another person to drive in the point that Soft Bun was insincere in her gift, stealing the idea of another just to make herself look good? Meanwhile, she would play the good person and ‘not pursue this matter’, is that it?
Lin Jiage sneered coldly in his heart. He glanced at the empty plate in front of Shi Yao and cleared it away before pushing another slice of cake in front of her.
