Finally, Xia Mo couldn't hold back his laughter and said in a very understanding manner,""So I won't make it difficult for you to change things. However, do you remember what I said to you in the car?”
Su Tong thought to herself,'You're such a chatterbox. You've said so many things. How would I know which sentence you're referring to?'
He Kuo was a little embarrassed to speak, but now wasn't the time to care about his reputation. He hissed awkwardly," Brother, actually, Xia Mo and I can't do anything about the three of them. The most important thing is to rely on you."”
Seeing that the wine had gone through three rounds and the dishes had gone through five flavors, the banquet had already been going on for some time. He had to quickly resolve the matter.
"In the car, I asked you to leave Old Zeng's favor to me. I didn't expect to use it so soon.”Xia Mo's expression suddenly became serious." Su Tong, this is no joke. This mess has been dug up. He Kuo's father will definitely skin him alive. You really have to help him.”
Su Tong pulled her hair and said awkwardly,"Then how should I help? Should he tell Elder Zeng that Liang Shengjie had tampered with it? I see that Liang Shengjie is quite close to Elder Zeng's family. Can an outsider like me, who is meeting him for the first time, believe me?”
"That's not necessary. Since Liang Shengjie dared to do such a thing, he must have taken care of everything. It's not easy to testify against him.”Xia Mo heard Su Tong's tone and knew that there was a chance." You just need to help him ask for forgiveness from Elder Zeng in private before the incident happens. You just need to hide the matter.”
Su Tong was not confident. He did not think that he had such a great reputation. Moreover, Liang Shengjie had spent so much effort. He would definitely not let it go. If they really confronted each other, the news would inevitably spread.
"I also know that doing this will put you in a difficult position, but I really had no other choice. I accidentally fell into that grandson's trap.”He Kuo rubbed his face in pain. He was really afraid. This matter could be serious or minor. Giving stolen goods to Elder Zeng as a birthday gift, he was trembling just thinking about it. If this got out, he would probably become a laughing stock in the eyes of the entire Jinling dignitaries.
After all, they had grown up together. Seeing him like this, Xia Mo couldn't bear to see him like this. He reached out and took the toy monkey from Su Tong's arms." I know this thing. It's the precious thing of little ancestor Shi 'an. It looks like he's giving it to you now. You've gained a lot of face. Elder Zeng will do you a favor." After the matter is settled, you can go to his collection room and pick whatever you want.”
As he spoke, he placed the monkey on Su Tong's thigh.
"Right, right, right. Brother, you can choose whatever you like.”
However, the moment the cute little monkey doll was placed on Su Tong's lap, Su Tong smiled because under the doll was the wild ginseng he had prepared for Old Gu.
Then, Su Tong snapped her fingers and took out the wild ginseng.
“？？？”Xia Mo and He Kuo were shocked. From the perspective of others, Su Tong was digging in her pants through the little monkey, and there was obviously a suspicious cylindrical object there. They couldn't help but tease," If you can't hold it in, go straight to the bathroom and turn right!”
Su Tong rolled her eyes." Do you two want my help or not? If you don't, then forget it!”
"I do, but what are you doing?”Xia Mo couldn't help but look at the pillar under his pants and burst out laughing again.
Su Tong took out the velvet box and stuffed it under the table into He Kuo's hand.
He Kuo looked down and saw the words "Hainan Natural Pearl Necklace" on the box. His face turned green."Brother, you can't mess with me like this."”
However, Xia Mo knew Su Tong's strength." Brother, calm down! Do you know what the bezoar he gave Elder Zeng was made of?”
"What?"
"An old glasses case."
He Kuo raised his head and looked at Su Tong. His peach blossom red phoenix eyes were filled with disbelief. He could not help but give her a thumbs up."High! It's really high!"
"Cut the crap. Open it and see what's inside.”Xia Mo urged. He was very curious about what was inside.
He Kuo lowered his hand and gently opened the box. Both he and Xia Mo were stunned. There was an old ginseng lying in the box. It had already taken shape, like an old man with gray hair and beard. The longest root was pressed against the bottom of the box and bent back.
"…F * ck!" Xia Mo took a long breath and spat out these two words. He was extremely shocked.
"No, brother, where did you come from?! Carrying a top-grade hundred-year-old wild ginseng with him?!”This was the first time He Kuo had experienced it personally. His brain was really tied up and he could not wrap his head around it. He was walking around with such a ragged box carrying a treasure that was hard to come by.
"This was supposed to be given to Old Gu, but now you're the one who stole it."”
Finally, there was hope. He Kuo almost cried tears of joy, his voice trembling."This bro will remember this favor.”
Su Tong was not used to such a mushy conversation. She waved at him, signaling him to hurry up and get to work.
Therefore, He Kuo pretended to go to the bathroom and found the butler who was in charge of the congratulatory gift, indicating that he had taken the wrong gift. The butler naturally knew He Kuo's family background and immediately smiled politely."It's fine, it's fine. Just give it to me and I'll exchange it for you.”
Hence, He Kuo handed over the old velvet box that had a sense of history. The butler's eyelids twitched when he saw it, thinking that this second generation heir was teasing him. However, she didn't dare to ask, so she could only maintain her smile and take it." Please wait a moment. I'll be right back."”
He Kuo suddenly grinned wickedly and thought of a plan." Wait a minute. Is it convenient for me to go in with you?" My box is really ugly. I want to exchange it for something else. I'll use the previous box.”
The butler nodded. He didn't know what was inside either. If it was fragile, it would be better to let the owner handle it himself. He bowed and said,"Please."
Although the piles of gifts were many, they were not messy. They had already been put away neatly. After the Zeng family's banquet was over, the butler quickly found He Kuo's gift box from many large and small gift boxes.
It was a rectangular box made of purple silk with a dragon. It was said that Pu Yi had brought it to Shuntian and used it in the Little White House. He Kuo thought it was very impressive at that time, but now it seemed that it was also bait for that bastard to bait him.
When he opened it, the middle part of it was concave, and a small incense burner from the Qing Dynasty was inlaid. It was about ten centimeters tall. The incense burner was an incense burner. Buddhism called it the Baoding, and it was offered in front of the Buddha together with vases and candlesticks. There were no carvings on the surface of the furnace. The mouth of the furnace was slightly smaller, and the belly of the furnace began to grow larger. The connection between the mouth of the furnace and the bottom of the furnace was an arc-shaped slope. There were two ears on both sides, and four legs under the belly of the furnace. Exquisite and dignified, it was a rare masterpiece, but unfortunately…
Thinking of this, He Kuo gritted his teeth hatefully and opened Su Tong's box. Even the butler, who was used to seeing good things, could not help but sigh. As expected of the young master of the He family, his actions were different.
