Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Overly Thoughtful Gift
Chapter 64 -64 The Overly Thoughtful Gift
Looking back now, Jiang Zhe felt indeed a bit guilty toward Jiang Zhe.
Recalling the time when Jiang Zhe left, he wasn’t even at home to say a word for her, and he couldn’t help feeling a resurgence of guilt and emotion toward this daughter of his.
“Well, forget it, let’s talk about it next time when we have it,” Jiang Zhe said, giving up.
Seeing this, others around didn’t feel it right to pressure Jiang Zhe any further.
“It’s not just this time; from now on, you better not talk about your sister like that again!” Jiang Yunxuan stood in front of Jiang Zhe, seemingly wanting to take on everything for her.
In Jiang Zhe’s eyes, which always held a chill, there was a glimmer of warmth.
Jiang Zhe and Liang Jinlan exchanged glances and had no choice but to agree: “Okay, okay, we promise you.”
When it came to their only son, they really couldn’t say no.
However, since Jiang Zhe didn’t have Chi Feng’s contact information and appeared to not know him at all, it secretly pleased Jiang Fanyue.
If Jiang Zhe truly knew such a person… Jiang Fanyue didn’t dare to entertain that possibility; better for her not to know, as that was the norm.
How could Jiang Zhe possibly know someone so important?
The time Chi Feng spoke to Jiang Zhe was only because of the plagiarism incident involving “joy” after all.
Her constantly anxious heart gently settled down, and her facial expression relaxed, revealing relief.
Their plans had fallen through, but this couldn’t affect Jiang Zhe and Liang Jinlan celebrating Jiang Yunxuan’s birthday together.
Liang Jinlan stopped pressing Jiang Zhe and called everyone’s attention, “Ladies and gentlemen, that was just a trivial family matter that held us up—sorry for the inconvenience. Let’s return to the matter at hand and celebrate Yunxuan’s birthday now.”
“That’s great! Happy birthday, Yunxuan.”
The area was filled with overlapping sounds of blessings, and gifts kept streaming into Jiang Yunxuan’s hands.
Jiang Yunxuan was indifferent to all these gifts; even the various new toys bought from abroad couldn’t compare to the occasional candy his sister gave him, the little snacks, or the small things she casually sketched or painted for him.
“Yunxuan, guess what gift your sister has prepared for you?” Jiang Fanyue asked tenderly, her face beaming with a smile.
“What is it, Second Sister?” Jiang Yunxuan asked.
The title “Second Sister” always sounded harsh to Jiang Fanyue, who repeatedly asked Jiang Yunxuan to simply call her “Sister”; but he would only do so grudgingly upon her insistent demand, usually defaulting to calling her Second Sister.
It was as if the words “Sister” were reserved solely for Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Fanyue, who was now the recognized lady of the house, wished everyone would forget Jiang Zhe’s existence.
But the title “Second Sister” was a constant reminder of the indignity of her status.
Suppressing her irritation, Jiang Fanyue answered with a smile, “You’ll know when you see it. Aunt Zhang, please invite our distinguished guest in.”
Everyone knew that on Jiang Yunxuan’s birthday, Jiang Fanyue would surely present a gift that would make everyone envious and much talked about, and they were all eager to behold it.
“Every time Fanyue gives Yunxuan a gift, it dazzles us, overwhelming in splendor. I wonder what she will give this time.”
“I am sure it will be nothing ordinary; it must be an exceptionally impressive gift!”
“I am even more anticipatory than Yunxuan, I really want to see what it is.”
Amid everyone’s chatter, their gazes followed Aunt Zhang.
Who could the distinguished guest Jiang Fanyue was inviting be?
Suddenly, everyone saw Aunt Zhang come in, followed by an elder with an extraordinary aura, dressed in a traditional Chinese jacket with a mandarin collar, entering the room.
He looked at him and thought he looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t quite remember who he was.
It seemed like he had only seen him in some distant place.
Finally, someone in the crowd said, “Isn’t this… the famous calligrapher Ouyang Yuan?”
“Wow, it really is Mr. Ouyang!”
“Mr. Ouyang has been world-renowned since he was young. His brush calligraphy has been in many museums, all of them are collectible-level works!”
“I heard Yunxuan loves writing with a brush, so Fanyue invited a calligrapher for him. Such a present is not only valuable but also genuinely thoughtful!”
“Yes, such a gift is indeed very considerate.”
“It’s not just about being considerate, Mr. Ouyang is always very busy, usually associates with very prestigious individuals, and rarely appears at such events. Being able to invite him requires some capability!”
“It looks like Fanyue really is the pride of the Jiang family. She can do things that others cannot.”
“It also shows that the young master of the Gu family really adores her. Some of these must also be due to the young master’s effort.”
As Aunt Zhang led Ouyang Yuan in, everyone looked thrilled and envious.
The morale of Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan, which had just been dampened by Jiang Zhe, was suddenly restored.
While Ouyang Yuan’s arrival didn’t directly benefit the Jiang family’s current business, the prestige and honor brought to the Jiang family by the Gu family’s regard for Jiang Fanyue were immeasurable in monetary terms.
“Mr. Ouyang!” Gu Jiaheng stepped forward to greet him.
Ouyang Yuan had an extraordinary presence but laughed cordially in front of Gu Jiaheng, “Jiaheng, it’s been years, you’ve grown up.”
“Yes, but you, sir, are more sprightly than ever! Let me introduce you, this is Jiang Fanyue.”
“Nice to meet you, sir.” Jiang Fanyue’s demeanor was gentle and mature, especially polite.
Sure enough, Ouyang Yuan took a liking to her at first sight, “Are you Jiaheng’s ‘little friend’?”
In this context, ‘little friend’ was equivalent to girlfriend.

Jiang Fanyue’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she smiled without saying anything.
Others chuckled as well, teasing the young couple.
“Mr. Ouyang is teasing Fanyue, and she might get embarrassed,” Gu Jiaheng said in a timely manner, “Please, take a seat here.”
“Hahaha, young girls are easily shy, it’s my fault,” Ouyang Yuan said as he sat down at the head seat.
Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan also came forward to greet him. After some pleasantries, Gu Jiaheng said, “Fanyue’s younger brother, Yunxuan, is especially fond of brush calligraphy and admires your work greatly. Today is his birthday, and we would like to request a piece of your calligraphy as a teaching for him.”
“No problem,” Ouyang Yuan replied, “Bring the ink and brushes.”
The writing materials were already prepared and were quickly brought over and placed before Ouyang Yuan.
Everyone knew Ouyang Yuan’s status in the calligraphy world and went forward to watch.
Ouyang Yuan found himself surrounded by an admiring crowd in the center.
Jiang Fanyue personally arranged the brush and paper and ground the ink for Ouyang Yuan.
Everyone knew that a master like him wouldn’t be accustomed to using ready-made
