He was stunned for a moment, looked at the old couple who came in, and said to Jiang Zongnan: "It seems that the people who came this time are not ordinary people."
Jiang Zongnan opened his mouth slightly and said, "Why are there so many unfamiliar faces at Nian Nian's birthday?"
He didn't even recognize Smith, let alone Mr. Qian.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid we will hardly see these people who came to her birthday party again in our lifetime. Look! They are of a level we have never even heard of."
Today he was fortunate enough to gain some new insights.
Even when he gets old in the future, he will be able to brag about the people he met today for the rest of his life.
Jiang Zongnan frowned, not understanding why he was exaggerating like that. He sighed secretly and turned his attention back to Qiao Nian.
*
Qiao Nian obviously recognized them. When the two old men approached, her expression became respectful. She consciously took off the baseball cap on her head, revealing her clean face to show respect.
The white-haired old man also noticed her hat-docking, smiled slightly, and said to her, "Little girl, I heard it's your birthday."
Qiao Nian pursed her lips, guessed something, turned around and glanced at someone, and saw Ye Wangchuan leaning quietly beside her. She understood and was a little moved, so she said "um", "20th birthday."
"Really? You are at a good age to be in the prime of your life." The old man took out a small toy from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Nian, asking her to accept it: "Happy birthday, little girl."
Qiao Nian saw that what he handed over was a talisman, which was not expensive but full of meaning, so she took it and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
When the old man saw her accept the gift he handed over, he looked at her with a loving look and said, "You don't have to thank me. He found me and asked me and this old woman to go to the temple and pray for you. He said that since we are in our eighties, the amulet we prayed for will be more effective. I hope this amulet can bless you with a smooth life, and our trip will not be in vain."
He always spoke with a smile, without any sharpness in his expression, just like an ordinary old man in his fifties giving advice to his younger generation.
But those who know him know how much effort Ye Wangchuan put in to find the right kind of people to bless Qiao Nian.
"Are you Mr. Qian?" When Qiao Nian rejected his gift, Smith was angry and frowned, and said in a tough attitude that he had never been rejected.
When he saw the old man, he couldn't hide his surprise. He restrained his arrogance and became less imposing.
When Mr. Qian saw him, he was also very polite. He turned around and faced him, saying, "I just heard you outside making things difficult for this little girl. You insisted that others accept your gift?"
Old Qian smiled and said, "Today is the little girl's birthday. We are all this age now, so please don't embarrass the younger generation."
Smith was a little hesitant because of Lu Zhi's entrustment.
Noticing his hesitation, Mr. Qian continued to smile and asked, "Why, you don't want to give me some face?"
“No…” Smith was stunned for a moment, raised his head, met the wise eyes of the old man, seemed to exhale a foul breath, and sighed: “It’s okay if she doesn’t want to accept it, I’m just entrusted by someone.”
If Lu Zhi hadn't insisted that he come to give this birthday present to his friend, he would never have come to give a gift given his status, so he was angry when Qiao Nian refused to accept the gift just now.
But compared to these trivial matters.
Smith was so excited now that he didn't care about those trivial matters at all.
