384 Final Moments of Glory 2 (1/2)

You should smile all you can now. Let's see whether you can still squeeze out a smile once I have my way with you!

However, she really had to thank Shen Bailian for this matter. If not for her cooperation, she wouldn't know how to carry on with this play…

There would some words which would appear to be too intentional if she were to say it herself, such as asking Grandpa Lin to open the present Shi Yao had gifted him.

With such thoughts in mind, Liang Mumu turned to Shen Bailian and said softly, ”There's still another matter that I need your help on later on.”

Hearing Liang Mumu's voice, Shen Bailian put down her chopsticks and said, ”No problem. Do what you need to do, and leave the rest to me. I've always viewed her as an eyesore. How can someone who is born in such an ordinary family be allowed to marry better than us?”

Shen Bailian's request of asking Grandpa Lin to open Shi Yao's gift was just a minor interjection, so the guests present didn't think too much into it. The matter passed by quickly.

Maybe it was out of fondness of Shi Yao, or perhaps he really liked the inkstone that much, but after unwrapping the present, he displayed the inkstone openly on the dining table, not asking Auntie Sun to put it back at all.

There were a few sharp-witted people who noticed the inkstone on the table while they were offering their blessings to Grandpa Lin, so they would drop a few words to compliment it.

”Old Master Lin, this inkstone looks not bad at all!”

”Old Master Lin, who was the one who gave you this inkstone? It's obvious that the person has a good eye for stuff!”

These compliments seemed to have really hit the right spot with Grandpa Lin. Even though it was mostly the same few words spoken time and time again, he didn't seem to get sick of hearing them. He would put on a gleeful each time around and, as if showing off his own treasure, he would reply proudly, ”It was a gift from my granddaughter-in-law, Yaoyao. Isn't it beautiful?”
