Old Master Ruan’s birthday was more traditional. In addition, he was old and it was not suitable for him to eat cakes with high sugar content. Hence, Ruan Chu planned to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.
In the living room, the television was playing the television drama ‘”Poems and Wine in Youth” starring Ruan Chu.
Recently, Ruan Chu’s popularity had increased, and even the drama had become popular.
Old Master Ruan made himself a cup of tea before continuing to browse Ruan Chu’s Weibo with his phone.
Just as Old Master Ruan was having a good time rebuking the anti-fans, the butler suddenly coughed lightly and reminded him, “Miss is here.”
Only then did Old Master Ruan hurriedly stuff his phone into his pocket.
Old Master Ruan’s nose twitched when he saw Ruan Chu carrying something over. “Chuchu, what’s this? It smells so good.”
“I made longevity noodles for Grandpa. Happy birthday, Grandpa.” Ruan Chu placed the noodles in front of him and smiled.
Ruan Chu’s knife skills were good. She carved the carrot slices into “Happy
Birthday” and placed them on the soup surface. They looked bright and novel.
The longevity noodles she made were also very particular. One long noodle was made into a bowl. Before cooking and serving it, she specially checked to see if it was broken, for auspiciousness.
Old Master Ruan nodded with a genial smile. The table was filled with expensive gifts, but this pile of gifts did not make him feel as good as this bowl of hot longevity noodles.
“Happy birthday, Grandpa.”
Gu Yang and the rest also congratulated Old Master Ruan.
Old Master Ruan, who was eating noodles, looked up at Gu Yang and pushed the tea set in front of her. “Chuchu’s noodles are delicious, but the soup is a little salty.”
Gu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She sat down opposite him and elegantly made tea. “Okay, Grandpa, I’ll make tea for you now.”
Old Master Ruan snorted softly, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes deepened.
“Ruan Chu, it’s your grandfather’s birthday. Why did you cook a bowl of longevity noodles?”
Ruan Zhihao had never liked his daughter, Ruan Chu. He could not help but reprimand her whenever he had the chance.
Ruan Chu rolled her eyes and did not bother to call him “Dad”. She retorted bluntly, “What did you give Grandpa this time?”
He came over with a gift box. The gift box was wrapped exquisitely, and the tea set could be seen through the transparent film.
Ruan Zhihao said ingratiatingly to Old Master Ruan, “Dad, I know you like to collect tea sets. This is an antique tea set that I spent a lot of money to buy. It was during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty..
Gu Yang, who was making tea, looked up. “It’s a fake.”
Ruan Zhihao immediately fell silent and looked at Gu Yang unhappily. “What fake? What do you know?”
Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling frowned.
Ruan Xueling immediately defended her. “Yangyang recognized antiques on the variety show back then, so of course she knows. On the other hand, Second Brother, you spend all your time fooling around with those scoundrel friends. Now, you’re even playing with antiques. Don’t be cheated without knowing better.”
Old Master Ruan glanced at Ruan Zhihao and picked up a cup of tea that Gu Yang had brewed. He slowly sipped it, but his gaze lingered on Gu Yang.
Gu Yang blinked innocently. “Isn’t it obvious? Second Uncle, your antique doesn’t even have the most basic outer coating. Look at this glossiness. It hasn’t been two years since it was made.”
Ruan Zhihao was a middle-aged man from a privileged family. How could he know these things? He was confused.
He didn’t take Gu Yang’s words seriously and rolled his eyes. “It’s just a publicity stunt on a variety show, and you took it seriously. Dad, you know antiques. Don’t listen to Gu Yang’s nonsense.”
He quickly opened the gift box and took out a teacup, revealing the bottom. “Look, there’s a seal engraved on it!”
Old Master Ruan took the teacup and swirled it around. “How much did it cost?” Ruan Zhihao was in a hurry to perform, so he quoted a higher price. “8 million.”
Actually, it only cost 5 million dollars. The person introduced by his good friend said that he would sell it to him for 8 million dollars on account of his good friend.
Old Master Ruan was so angry that he blew his nose and glared at Ruan Zhihao. He threw the teacup at Ruan Zhihao. “This is just like a teacup that costs more than 10 dollars in a supermarket.. How dare you use it to embarrass yourself?
