you are so nice lady

Chapter 124 "Imitation"

Seeing her provocative gaze, Ning Xiaoman pretended not to see it, got up, took a tissue, and sat back down.

Tan Xinran felt even more proud: Humph!Did you want to give a gift just now?I just want to deliver it before you, and then we'll see how you can handle that fake finger wrench!

Thinking about it, she quickly opened the box in her hand, and the milky white jade wrench inside appeared in front of Mr. Huo.

"Grandpa, I know you like antiques the most, so I bought this jade finger ring specially for you. It is said to be from the Qianlong period, and it is very precious."

In order to show off to those relatives, she deliberately tilted the box a bit, fully exposing the jade finger to everyone's eyes.

It's just that Mr. Huo was not as happy as she imagined. Instead, when he saw the finger, his smile froze for a moment.

Everyone around gasped, their faces were subtle.

Isn't this the jade ring finger that Ning Xiaoman gave Mr. Huo just now?They look exactly the same!

Besides, Mr. Huo didn't seem very happy. When Ning Xiaoman gave the gift just now, he was very happy. Could it be that Tan Xinran gave this...

Is it fake?

Those relatives didn't say anything, but the way they looked at Tan Xinran changed.

Tan Xinran didn't understand why everyone reacted like this. For a moment of bewilderment, she saw Huo Yashi winking at her not far away.

What do you mean?
She was a little confused by such a weird atmosphere, and her face was a little embarrassed.

Why is this scene different from what I imagined?
Ning Xiaoman was the only one, who was calm and relaxed from beginning to end, eating food slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Tan Xinran gritted her teeth, and asked unwillingly, "Grandpa...don't you like it?"

She took out the ring finger from the box and was about to put it on Mr. Huo's hand, "Grandpa, these are the only seven chilong jade finger rings left today. You should wear them first, you will definitely like them!"

As soon as the jade finger was in his hand, Mr. Huo's face became even more gloomy.

Although Tan Xinran didn't say he was a veteran of antiques, after following him for so long, he knew a little common sense about antiques. Why was he so careless?
This jade wrench is obviously a glass sample made of glue, although it looks similar, but as soon as he started to use it, he knew that it was different from the one Ning Xiaoman gave him.

It's fine that it's exactly the same as the jade finger that Ning Xiaoman gave, but it's even a model!

Even Mr. Huo, who has always loved Tan Xinran, felt a little embarrassed.

Silently, he took off the jade wrench, put it back into the gift box Tan Xinran prepared, picked up the chopsticks and pointed at a few dishes, "Hurry up and eat, the chef's dishes are very good today."

Tan Xinran was still standing there, a little dazed.

Why did the old man react like this?Shouldn't he be happy?This is the only seven chilong jade fingers in the world!
She looked at the reactions of the relatives around her again, seeing that all of them were looking at her subtly, even with some sarcasm, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Obviously, the gifts she gave were better than those of these people!Why should you look at her like this?
correct!

Her eyes flickered, she sat down suddenly, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ning Xiaoman, "Sister, everyone's gifts have been delivered, why don't you see you giving gifts to grandpa?"

Since everyone didn't respond to the gift she gave, she turned her attention to Ning Xiaoman.

At that time, as long as everyone knows that Ning Xiaoman sent a fake to Mr. Huo, they will point their guns at Ning Xiaoman.

However, as soon as these words came out, there was silence at the table.

Tan Xinran didn't know what she said wrong, so she said triumphantly, "I remember that you didn't pay much attention to preparing gifts for grandpa before, but for grandpa's 80th birthday, you should prepare well? It's not like I did it in front of you." Speaking of you in front of many relatives, grandpa has always been good to both of us, if the gift you gave this time is still so perfunctory, I will really say a few words about you..."

Mr. Huo's face darkened, "Xin Ran! Don't mess around!"

Tan Xinran pouted dissatisfiedly, and acted like a spoiled child to Mr. Huo, "Grandpa, don't favor your sister. Over the years, has my sister given you any decent presents? I love you so much!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ning Xiaoman provocatively again, "Sister, anyway, now that everyone has finished giving away, it's your turn, let everyone see what kind of gift you have prepared for grandpa? But... you should not Are you ready?"

She knew that Ning Xiaoman didn't dare to take out her jade wrench now, so she rushed to give the gift before Ning Xiaoman, just to make her afraid that the two gifts were the same, so she didn't dare to give it.

Even if you give it away, you will lose face because it is a high imitation.

No matter whether she sends it or not, she will definitely make a fool of herself in front of the whole Huo family!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ning Xiaoman still looked calm, gracefully picked up the tissue in front of him, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Xinran, can you show me the finger pull you gave to grandpa?"

She folded her fingers on the dining table, and smiled at Tan Xinran, with a sense of noble alienation.

For a moment, Tan Xinran suddenly felt that there was Huo Shishen's shadow on the woman in front of her...

"When...of course you can."

She handed the gift box to Ning Xiaoman, and seeing her take out the ring, she frowned and couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, "How about sister? Have you never seen such a good Hetian jade finger ring? "

Ning Xiaoman chuckled lightly, but didn't speak.

She held the jade wrench and looked at it for a long time, rubbing her fingers slightly on it, with a layer of irony in her eyes.

If it was in the previous life, after Tan Xinran gave away the jade finger, in order not to let others say that she was the same gift as Tan Xinran, she would definitely choose not to give it away.

The dignity in her bones is at work, even if she regards Tan Xinran as her own sister, she doesn't want others to think that she is imitating Tan Xinran to please Mr. Huo.

After being reborn, she herself felt that there was something extra in her bones.

That dignity was still deeply buried in it, but there was an extra level of planning, which was something she learned from Huo Shishen.

She held the ring a little higher, and through the light of the chandelier above her head, she saw the three compressed small characters inside, and frowned suspiciously.

"Ah Shen, help me find out, what are these three words?"

She moved closer to Huo Shishen, and pointed to him where the three words were located, "You have good eyes, I can't see clearly."

In fact, she could see clearly that she just wanted Huo Shishen to be the executioner of Ling Chi and Tan Xinran.

Huo Shishen saw her thoughts, followed her gaze, and said three words lightly: "Imitation."
