Chapter 161 Playing a piano piece
On such a grand occasion, the Li family is no ordinary family and is very particular about giving gifts.

The price, the connotation of the gift, and the recipient’s taboos all need to be noted.

One wrong step, and the gift may not be delivered, and there may even be enmity.

However, Jiang Yining had already handed it over, and neither Ming Chengkang nor Ye Tang had time to stop her.

Mr. Li was a little surprised. He looked at the small bag handed over and couldn't wait to confirm.

"Is this a gift for me?"

Ye Tang, who was beside Jiang Yining, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Yining, don't mess around in this situation!"

Ye Tang lowered his voice and glanced at Jiang Yining quickly, with a warning in his eyes.

Here, Ming Chengkang smiled apologetically at Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry. This child doesn't know etiquette very well. We will educate her well later!"

Mr. Li saw the expressions of the two people in his eyes and instantly knew what was going on.

The girl from Beiqing had talked about the Ming family's affairs with him, but he didn't take it to heart at the time. After all, that girl was often crazy and what she said was very subjective.

Now it seems that he blamed the wrong girl.

"The child specially prepared a birthday gift for the old man. Why is he so rude?" The expression on Mr. Li's face was much colder than before.

"This……"

Ming Chengkang choked.

If Jiang Yining was a child of the Li family and privately gave his grandfather gifts that were not worthy of publicity, then that would not be the case.

But, Jiang Yining is not.

Too much etiquette and too little etiquette will cause many problems.

After thinking for a moment, Ming Chengkang suddenly realized, did Mr. Li regard Jiang Yining as his own child?
Mr. Li glanced at him and then turned his eyes to Jiang Yining, instantly filled with expectation.

"Are you giving me a gift, old man?"

Jiang Yining smiled, "Yes, this is a gift I specially prepared for you."

Withdrawing his arm from Ye Tang, he took two steps forward and handed the small bag over with both hands.

"What is it? Can I take it apart and take a look?"

Mr. Li was as happy as a child, touching the bag with an eager expression.

It really shocked many people around.

When everyone looked at Jiang Yining, something was missing and something was added.

Because of how unique Mr. Li was about his adopted daughter, no one dared to look at Jiang Yining the way they looked at an "adopted daughter".

"Of course, this is for you."

Mr. Li immediately opened the bag and took out a wooden box from inside.

Smelling the faint medicinal aroma emanating from the box, he knew what was inside.

The medicine Jiang Yining gave must be good for his body.

Remembering Vice Dean Renhe's plea to him before he was discharged from the hospital, Mr. Li paused and put the box back into his bag.

Then he handed the bag to the butler beside him and ordered:

"Put some away for me, don't lose them."

The butler took it with both hands and solemnly replied: "Yes, old man."

The people around were still waiting to see what Jiang Yining had given them. Their appetites were whetted but they could not get an answer.

Not far away, the Luo sisters, Feng Suyi and other wealthy ladies were also watching intently.The moment Jiang Yining walked in, their moods became worse and worse.

Whether it was the people around her praising her appearance or Mr. Li looking at her differently, they were extremely unhappy.

Luo Xintian snorted coldly, "In my opinion, Grandpa Li must have realized that there was nothing valuable inside. He didn't want to embarrass himself, so he didn't show it to others!"

Her words didn't make the people around her feel better at all.

Mr. Li is covering up for Jiang Yining. Doesn't that mean that Mr. Li attaches great importance to Jiang Yining?
This is not a good thing!
Luo Xintian was suffocating in her heart. After returning from Shenwan Resort that day, she was severely scolded by her family members. After that, the atmosphere at home became increasingly tense.

Especially in the past few days, her father has been kept away from strangers all day long because of company matters. She has not dared to ask for money, and her life has been tight.

She vaguely felt that this was the result of her failure to "apologise within three days" as Li Beiting said.

She didn't dare to tell her family what happened in Shenwan Bay in detail, for fear that if she did, she would be pressed on the head to apologize to that despicable adopted daughter.

Isn't it because Mr. Li is backing him?

She just wanted to see who would be willing to support her if she was embarrassed in such an occasion!

Over there, Mr. Li collected the gifts, pulled Jiang Yining to say a few words, and prepared to let her go to the hall outside to play with the Li brothers and sisters.

Young people generally don't like to be restricted by their elders.

"Grandpa Li, I wish you a happy birthday!"

Suddenly, a soft voice came, with a hint of gentleness and respect.

Mr. Li stopped talking, raised his eyes and looked over, "Hey, Suyi is here too?"

Feng Suyi walked straight to Mr. Li as if she didn't see Jiang Yining, who was being pulled to talk by Mr. Li.

"Grandpa Li's birthday, of course I have to come over early to congratulate you." She said, handing over the gift box in her hand, "Grandpa Li, I wish you blessings like the East Sea. This is the birthday gift that my grandpa specially asked me to bring you. .”

"Hey, it's good enough that your grandpa asked you to come from Sijiu City to celebrate the old man's birthday. What other gifts should you bring?"

Mr. Li smiled and accepted the gift.

In the blink of an eye, the gift was handed into Butler Li's hands, and was immediately placed on the already stacked gift rack, submerged in a pile of fancy-wrapped gifts.

Feng Suyi still had a smile on her face, and her eyes casually glanced at the small bag carried by the Li family.

"Grandpa Li, I originally wanted to play you a piano piece. However, I found that Master Shen's proud disciple is here, so I didn't dare to show my shame."

Everyone around was stunned for a moment.

Then I immediately remembered that Ming Qingcheng was the proud disciple that Master Shen begged to take in!

Just now, everyone's attention was attracted by the adopted daughter of the Ming family, and they all forgot about this incident!

Ming Qingcheng felt that his eyes were focused on her, and his confidence returned to her again.

"Sister Suyi, you are so complimentary."

Feng Suyi smiled and said, "How about Qingcheng perform a song for Grandpa Li to celebrate his birthday?"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately echoed.

"Okay, I've long wanted to hear Miss Ming's piano music that captivated Master Sheng and Master Shen!"

This is what almost everyone thinks.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of piano music moved the great master so much that he even lowered himself to accept her as his disciple.

There were more and more sounds around. At this time, Ming Qingcheng slowly walked out and said softly:

"Actually, I don't have much ability. If I can sing a song for Grandpa Li, it would be my honor."

Ming Qingcheng spoke politely and humbly, winning the favor of many people.

Mr. Li's expression remained normal, but he still nodded.
