Chapter 440: Contrast

Although Lin Wu wasn't there, she could roughly guess what her family was thinking.

She started the car, and just as she was about to drive away, her peripheral vision caught the gift box Feng Tingshen and the others had given her, and she paused.

Although Feng Tingshen didn't propose to her today, she was still quite interested in what he had given her.

She picked up the gift box Feng Tingshen had given her and opened it.

Inside was a diamond necklace of good quality, likely worth several million.

Although this price was quite presentable as a birthday gift, even for a birthday gift given to a girlfriend by someone of Feng Tingshen's status.

However—

The gifts Feng Tingshen had given her before were indeed very spectacular and expensive; by comparison, this necklace really didn't look substantial enough.

However, thinking of Feng Tingshen's insistence on divorcing Rong Ci, she didn't care much about this gift that wasn't spectacular enough.

Thinking of this, she put down the gift box. When she saw the gift box He Zhangbai had given her, she hesitated for a moment but still opened it.

"It was a bottle of red wine."

The price shouldn't be low.

This gift was still quite suitable for an ordinary female friend.

It was just that, compared to the past, the difference was indeed quite large, and it wasn't thoughtful enough.

Lin Wu wasn't surprised; she gave a mocking smile, closed the gift box, and drove home.

Everyone was waiting for her news.

Seeing her return, Sun Liyao excitedly asked: "Sister, how is it? Is the diamond beautiful? Take it out for everyone to—"

Lin Wu's expression was flat: "There was no proposal."

"No, no proposal?"

Not just Sun Liyao, but the others also froze at the sound, their smiles faltering.

After reacting, Old Lady Sun hurriedly asked: "Xiao Wu, this... did something happen?"

Hearing this, the others also thought that something unpleasant had occurred between her and Feng Tingshen.

Lin Wu shook her head: "Nothing happened, it's just that there was no proposal."

Having said that, she said: "You must have just heard people say that Tingshen bought a diamond to propose to someone, but did the other party say Tingshen would propose today?"

"Well, that, that wasn't said."

Hearing Lin Wu say this, the others also understood.

Sun Liyao didn't expect that she had caused such a big misunderstanding.

Thinking that Lin Wu had looked forward to it all day, only for—

She looked at Lin Wu and stammered: "Sister, I'm sorry, because today happened to be your birthday, I thought—"

"It's fine." Lin Wu didn't say much and turned to go upstairs.

Sun Yueqing saw this and said: "There's still some bird's nest in the kitchen, eat some before—"

"No need, I'm going upstairs to touch up my makeup; Tingshen is coming to pick me up later."

Hearing this, the others knew she hadn't been much affected by this misunderstanding, and Sun Liyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The others were much the same.

Sun Liyao's mood improved. Seeing the gift boxes Lin Wu had brought back when she got out of the car earlier, she couldn't help but curiously ask: "Sister, are these the gifts brother-in-law and the others gave you? What are they? Can we see them?"

The others were also curious, but they wouldn't ask like that.

Lin Wu didn't care much: "Go ahead."

After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.

The others then opened the gifts to look.

However, after seeing the gifts Feng Tingshen and the others had given, they were all quite disappointed.

After all, Feng Tingshen had indeed been very generous in the past.

Xiang Rufang said: "These gifts are already quite valuable. Besides, Xiao Wu will be going out with Tingshen later."

Sun Liyao thought the same: "Exactly."

Sun Yueqing and Old Lady Sun weren't too disappointed. In their view, given the relationship between Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu, even if the birthday gift Feng Tingshen gave was relatively less expensive compared to the past, it must contain Feng Tingshen's sincerity.

As long as their relationship remained, other things weren't that important. ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
