Return to 1983 and be a detective

Chapter 70 Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old

As her birthday approaches, Amelia Su is extremely worried.

It was just an ordinary birthday, and she didn't even think about it, but the old lady of the Su family insisted on making her ordinary birthday bigger.

Amelia Su also knew what the old lady meant, which was to take this opportunity to let her get in touch with more suitors and then choose a suitable husband from them.

She also knew the deeper meaning. Although the Su family had a great business, they did not support idle people.

Even though she was once the old lady's favorite granddaughter.

Facing the upcoming birthday party that is not her own, Su Wan has mixed feelings in her heart.

She had already called Xu Qing beforehand and informed her about her birthday party.

After telling her, she was a little confused. She didn't know why she wanted to tell the eldest sister of the Xu family this news.

Could it be that deep down in my heart, I still remember that man?

Su Wan did not dare to analyze her heart, so she had no choice but to pick up a book to entertain herself. After reading for a while, she saw Su Jing and Su Mei coming hand in hand.

Both of them had mysterious smiles on their faces. When they arrived in front of Su Wan, Su Jing said sourly: "Sister, you are so lucky. You have such a big pomp for a normal birthday."

"That's right, grandma only loves Sister Wan'er. If I can be half as good as Sister Wan'er, I'll be satisfied."

Seeing that they were deliberately flattering, Su Wan knew that they had something to say to her, so she asked: "You two, don't be sour here. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"As expected of Sister Wan'er, you can tell at a glance that it's actually nothing serious. I just brought a gift to you, sister, as entrusted by others."

Su Mei said, taking out a box and handing it to Su Wan.

Su Wan did not refuse immediately. She took the box and opened the finely crafted sandalwood box with a flick of her hand. This box contained an emerald pendant. This emerald head Full, although it cannot reach the level of ice species, it is already considered to be quite advanced among bean species.

The pendant is carved with a statue of Guanyin, which is so lifelike that it looks like it was carved by a very good jade craftsman. The workmanship alone is worth a lot of money.

Su Wan looked at the pendant, but she was a little dazed.

She thought of a gift she had received, which was also a pendant, a black rope stained with oily twist, and a black shell water drop pendant tied to it.This pendant was given to her by Xu Shan. Although it was very inconspicuous and did not look valuable, she cherished it very much.

Until Xu Shan took the pendant back from her and gave it to someone else in exchange for money to pour coal.

At that moment, her heart seemed to be dead, but looking at it now, this dead heart seemed to be resurrecting.

It seems that the clothes are not as good as new and the people are not as good as before. This has never changed in her heart.

Su Mei had little knowledge, but she also knew how to appreciate jade under the influence of her family. Looking at the pendant, her eyes were straightened: "What a beautiful pendant, Sister Wan'er, this gift is really good."

"Yes, the person who can give such a gift is quite thoughtful, sister."

Su Wan has been with these two sisters for a long time and knows their thoughts well. She knows what they want to express when they open their mouths.

They must have benefited from a certain suitor, so they came to give him gifts.

This wind cannot last long.

And although this Guanyin is good, it has a bit of a problem with itself.

She snorted disdainfully: "The man who wears Guanyin and the woman who wears Buddha don't even know this bit of common sense when giving pendants to others. I don't think there is any sincerity. Take this thing back. I don't like this kind of thing." I don’t want to accept it.”

Hearing Su Wan's flat refusal, Su Mei quickly shouted: "Sister, I must have spent a lot of money on such a good thing. Just send it back like this..."

"It's better to spend more money? Xiaomei, who did you learn this from? Emotions in this world are always based on the heart but not the traces. The amount of money cannot measure the depth of emotion. For example, a rich man has one hundred A poor person only has one chicken. A rich person gives you a chicken or a poor person gives you a chicken leg. Who is better for you?"

The example Su Wan gave is similar to the story Xu Shan gave about the beggar buying red bean paste buns.

However, Su Mei was fundamentally different from the employees of "Chaitou Feng". Naturally, she couldn't listen and retorted: "From my personal point of view, naturally a whole chicken is comfortable to eat, and a chicken leg is not enough." Ah. Sister Wan'er, just accept it."

Su Wan looks gentle on the outside, but she is very strong on the inside. She has made up her mind and will not change it.

Since Su Mei was so stubborn, she decided to put it to rest: "You are taking someone's favor to give him a gift. If you like this thing, accept it yourself. If you think he is good, you can marry him yourself." It’s the same thing.”

Su Jing and Su Mei looked at each other and had no choice but to put the box away angrily.

Su Wan was about to issue an eviction order again. At this time, Su Jing suddenly thought of something: "Sister, there is something I don't understand very well. Can you please give me an explanation?"

"Are you going to disappear from my sight after you finish explaining?"

"As long as you give a reasonable explanation, we will leave immediately and never stay."

"Well, you can ask."

"Are you still in contact with the Xu family?"

As soon as this question was asked, Amelia Su immediately became alert: "How do you know?"

"It seems that I guessed it right. You are indeed connected with the Xu family. Otherwise, when we went to a clothing store in Longshui to buy clothes for you, how could we meet that person's sister."

Amelia Su couldn't hide her surprise: "Did you meet my eldest sister? Did she also go to a clothing store to buy clothes?"

Su Mei's teeth started to itch when she thought about the last time. "Hmph, don't mention her. I get angry when I mention her. We originally chose a green dress for you, but they snatched it away. It's even more disgusting." Yes, the labor prisoner came forward and said he was unwilling to sell us the long skirt, so he drove us away."

Su Mei's words were vague, but she revealed a lot of information. Su Wan was very thoughtful and could infer many things from these information points.

"You mean, my eldest sister went to that clothing store and bought me a long skirt as a gift? And the owner of this clothing store is none other than Xu Shan? Didn't he just get out of prison? How come he has the capital? The shop owner, a clothing store, also sells long skirts that you all like, so it means it is a high-end store. Has he changed his gender and changed his gender? "

Su Mei, who was confused by Su Wan's series of questions, realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, so she could only look at Su Jing, hoping that Su Jing would correct her words for her.

But when Su Jing encountered this situation, she was a little confused. She originally thought that her sister had no feelings for Xu Shan anymore, but now she saw that her sister was completely disconnected, and her words were full of feelings for Xu Shan. family concerns.

No, this trend must be eliminated. Thinking of this, she quickly interrupted and forcefully said: "I guess that Chaitou Feng is not run by Xu Shan. At most, he is just running errands to help. Otherwise, how could a reform-through-labor prisoner have such a future?"
