Shen Li was completely stunned.

This turn of events was too sudden.

She opened her mouth.

“Second Uncle, actually there’s no need–”

“So this is what Second Brother is giving Ah Li as a present.”

Gu Tingyun’s smiling voice sounded.

“You’re very ‘attentive’.”

Gu Tingchuan could obviously hear the sarcasm in his words, but he did not mind. Instead, he nodded very naturally.

“I didn’t know what kind of things Ah Li likes. I asked a few friends for their opinions and finally decided on this.”

Shen Li was still at a loss for words.

Gu Tingyun smiled and nodded, then sighed.

“Then, Second Brother must have put in a lot of effort. I couldn’t possibly compare to him.”

For some reason, Shen Li’s eyebrows twitched, and she felt a little uneasy.

Then, she heard Gu Tingyun continue to speak.

“Ah Li, the construction of the gallery is progressing quite quickly, but I think that it’s too far from home. In the future, it’ll be inconvenient for you to just come and go. It just so happens that there’s a plot of land next to it, and it’s also a little closer to Dutian Villa. I’ll be building a lounge for you there as well.”

Shen Li did not know what to say.

She struggled for a moment.

“Third Uncle, I think it’s not too far–”

Gu Tingchuan snorted.

“So that’s what you ‘agreed’ with, huh?”

Just something little?

How could he have the nerve to say such a thing?!

Gu Tingyun did not mind at all. His smile was gentle.

“Yes, the area of that plot of land is indeed a little small, but the advantage is that it’s a pretty good location. However, if Ah Li doesn’t like it, just wait another six months or so. There’s another plot of land next to it–”

“Third Uncle.”

Shen Li hurriedly called out to him.

“I think it’s pretty good!”

Gu Tingyun looked at her in surprise. “But Ah Li hasn’t even looked at it yet.”

Shen Li choked.

“… How can your judgment be wrong?”

These words really succeeded in making Gu Tingyun give up on the idea of changing to another piece of land.

He said, “Actually, I looked at a few locations in the vicinity before, but I wasn’t very satisfied. In the end, I waited until this one was available so I’m quite satisfied.”

He looked at Shen Li with a gentle expression on his face.

“Speaking of which, I remember the day I bought that piece of land. I even ate a serving of sweet and sour pork ribs. Unfortunately, that restaurant didn’t do a good job. I got gastroenteritis after eating it.”

Gu Tingchuan’s eyelids twitched.

Wasn’t he being shameless?

Gastroenteritis? ? Why didn’t he just say that he had undergone a gastrectomy?!

Shen Li was stunned.

“Gastroenteritis? Was it serious?”

Gu Tingchuan finally could not help but scoff.

“Third Brother, I can see that you don’t look too good. Are you sick? If you are sick, you should hurry up and get it checked out. Don’t delay.”

Gu Tingchuan pretended not to hear him. He looked at Shen Li and said gently,”Ah Li, don’t worry. It’s not a big problem. It’s just that sometimes your stomach doesn’t feel too good after being hungry for a long time. It’s not a big deal.”

Shen Li said,”Then you’ll have to pay more attention to your diet in the future.”

Mei Yanqing’s stomach condition was quite painful.

She looked in the direction of the kitchen.

“Then let me help by preparing you some porridge. Previously, master’s stomach wasn’t good, so I occasionally helped out with the cooking.”

She was quite experienced in this aspect.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Besides, it’s your birthday today,” Gu Tingyun rejected very straightforwardly.

Gu Tingchuan snorted in his heart. At least you know–

“Let’s wait for another opportunity,” Gu Tingyun said.

Gu Tingchuan kept quiet.

Seeing his attitude was firm, Shen Li agreed.

“Okay.”

“Sister!”

Gu Siyang quickly walked in from outside,

“The car I booked for you has arrived! Come and take a look!”

Shen Li was stunned.

“Car? Didn’t you already give one to me before?”

“The model this time is different!”

Gu Siyang was in high spirits. He waved the car keys at her and raised his chin.

“You’ll definitely like it if you see it!”

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Shen Li had no choice but to walk over.

In the courtyard, a red convertible supercar had been parked.

The car’s body lines were extremely smooth and the car’s paint was glossy. The whole thing was extremely beautiful.

“The interior was also specially chosen by me!”

Gu Siyang had a proud look on his face as he raised his eyebrows.

“What do you think? Are you satisfied?”

It had to be said that although Gu Siyang’s own car was extremely flashy, his aesthetic judgment was still very on point. Moreover, when it came to such matters, he had the rare ability to be very good at figuring out people’s preferences.

The car that he had customized, from the inside out, was indeed very suitable for Shen Li’s taste.

The corners of her lips curled up.

“Thank you, Cousin.”

Gu Siyang snapped his fingers and handed the car keys to her, his eyes wide open.

“I chose it. What could be wrong with it?”

Gu Tingfeng happened to walk in from outside. When he heard Gu Siyang’s words, he looked at him and frowned.

“All you do is make things fancy.”

When Gu Siyang heard this, he was unhappy.

“Dad, I’m giving my sister a car. In what way is it fancy? Besides, my sister likes this too.”

“Huh?”

Gu Tingfeng looked at Shen Li.

“Ah Li likes this?”

Shen Li nodded. “I do. Cousin must have put in a lot of effort.”

Gu Tingfeng chuckled.

“As long as you like it! You’re usually too busy and tired. When you have time, you should take a drive out to relax.”

Gu Siyang was puzzled.

He said faintly, “… I was just getting somewhere. Second Uncle and Third Uncle even gave her a boat and land…”

Gu Tingfeng stopped in his tracks and looked at Gu Tingchuan and Gu Tingyun who were standing behind him.

The three of them looked at each other. The atmosphere was delicate.

Gu Tingfeng frowned slightly.

“Didn’t you say that it would be a simple celebration? Ah Li will only be back for a day and will be leaving tomorrow. She won’t be able to see the gifts that you gave her this time.”

Gu Tingchuan did not say anything. Gu Tingyun was unmoved and asked with a faint smile, “I don’t think I saw Big Brother’s gift today either?”

Gu Tingfeng paused and looked at Shen Li. He said hesitantly, “Ah Li, it’s indeed too late this time. Can you come back next time to see it?”

Shen Li said, “… First Uncle, the gift you gave is…”

“It’s nothing,” Gu Tingfeng said. “Do you remember the building on Wulin Road?”

Shen Li did not say anything.

Gu Tingchuan sneered.

Gu Tingyun smiled slightly.

It was really embarrassing to have a pot calling the kettle black.

Shen Li felt a little headache coming on.

“First Uncle, I remember that the building is a commercial building. You–”

“Yes, it’s convenient,” Gu Tingfeng said.

Shen Li was at a loss:

“Convenient for what?”

How could a commercial building be convenient for her–

“Ah Li, why are you all standing outside?”

Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu saw that everyone had gone outside, so they walked out as well.

Shen Zhijin had been chatting with Old Master Gu before, but now he had come outside with them.

Shen Li turned her head.

“Grandpa, Grandma.”

Gu Tingfeng said, “It seems that Ah Li still doesn’t know?”

Shen Li was stunned. What should she know?

Old Master Gu also smiled when he saw her rare look of confusion.

“I haven’t had the chance to tell Ah Li yet.”

Old Madam Gu walked over and held Shen Li’s hand. She smiled gently and said, “Ah Li, would you like to take a look at the present your grandfather gave you?”

Shen Li nodded.

“Okay.”

However, just as she was about to help Old Madam Gu back into the house, she was stopped by Old Madam Gu.

“It’s in the backyard,” Old Madam Gu said with a smile.

Backyard?

What kind of gift would be placed in the backyard?

Old Master Gu quickly gave her an answer.

“Ah Li, go and see if you like that plane.”
