Chapter 257: Chapter 228: [Gift]_2

"Uh..."

Surprised by the young man’s words, the ordinary students all opened their mouths slightly in shock. Although they didn’t know how much the brooch in the gift box was worth, the phrase "auction event" was enough to let them deduce that the price of the brooch was far from affordable for them.

After a brief moment of stupor, the male students looked like they had been struck, their smiles becoming stiff and their expressions a bit downcast, while the female students showed faces full of envy and jealousy.

"This gift is too valuable, I appreciate your intentions, thank you."

Noticing the reactions of the surrounding students and before the bodyguard could step forward to accept the gift, Su Liuli gracefully declined.

"Miss Su, it’s not that valuable, the auction is just a gimmick, just a small token," the young man said with a teasing smile, "You accepted everyone else’s gifts, if you don’t accept mine it means you have an opinion about me."

"Since you put it that way, I can only accept it, thank you," Su Liuli pondered briefly, then decided to accept the gift, planning to give the money for the brooch back to the young man after the party had ended.

"Miss Su, happy birthday! This is a Vacheron Constantin 1972 series ladies’ watch. I think it suits you well and hope you will like it."

"Miss Su, this is the latest Hermes handbag release, I think it was designed just for you."

"Miss Su..."

Later, amidst the complex expressions of the ordinary students, those young men around Ouyang Lingfeng congratulated Su Liuli on her birthday and presented their gifts—each one a valuable luxury item, forming a sharp contrast with the previous gifts.

In response, Su Liuli thanked each of them and instructed the bodyguards to collect the gifts, secretly planning to announce after receiving Ouyang Lingfeng’s gift that she would give the money to these young men after the party, so as not to embarrass the ordinary students.

"Liuli, happy birthday!"

Later, under everyone’s gaze, Ouyang Lingfeng affectionately addressed Su Liuli as Liuli, then with a smile, he passed the Aston Martin car keys in front of Su Liuli, without explaining what the gift was, intending to let others vocalize it.

"An Aston Martin ONE-77?"

As a member of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Super Car Club, Su Jindi was well-versed in various sports cars, recognizing at a glance that the gift Ouyang Lingfeng gave to Su Liuli was the keys to an Aston Martin ONE-77, a car he had once dreamed of owning, making him utterly astonished.

"An Aston Martin ONE-77, I heard that car costs over forty million!"

Hearing Su Jindi mention the name Aston Martin ONE-77, a materialistic girl exclaimed excitedly, as if Ouyang Lingfeng were gifting the car keys to her.

"Gasp—"

At the sound of the girl’s exclamation, the other ordinary female students gasped in shock, dumbfounded—giving away a forty million-plus sports car as a gift was beyond their wildest thoughts!

Not only them but even Su Liuli herself was somewhat surprised!

"Miss Su, I heard Ling Feng went all out for this gift, putting all of last year’s stock market profits into it and even contacting the manufacturer directly, quite a painstaking effort indeed," one of the young men close to Ouyang Lingfeng commented with a laugh, subtly ’lifting the palanquin’ for Ouyang Lingfeng.

As expected, Su Liuli looked surprised. Hearing his companion’s words, Ouyang Lingfeng’s smile grew even more charming.

It seemed that in his view, Su Liuli had no reason to refuse such a thoughtfully expensive gift.

Not just him, everyone present, except Situ Ruoshui and Su Jindi who knew Su Liuli, thought it impossible for Su Liuli to refuse!

"Liuli, if you have time after the party, I can accompany you for a test drive," Ouyang Lingfeng said, shaking the car keys as Su Liuli hadn’t recovered from her surprise.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can’t accept this gift," Su Liuli initially pondered how to tactfully refuse Ouyang Lingfeng. Seeing his gesture with the keys, she felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to speak up.

"Uh..."

As Su Liuli’s words echoed in everyone’s ears, except for Situ Ruoshui and Su Jindi, everyone was startled!

Ouyang Lingfeng looked the most shocked, blurting out, "Why?"

"It’s too valuable."

Su Liuli smiled and her gaze swept over the faces of several young gentlemen beside Ouyang Lingfeng, saying, "Originally, I planned to wait until after the party to give them the money for those expensive gifts just now, as if to accept the gesture and buy them. But your gift, it’s just too valuable, I can’t afford it."

Upon hearing Su Liuli’s words again, the ordinary students were once again shocked. Surprised, their fondness for Su Liuli also rose sharply.

As for the several young gentlemen including Ouyang Lingfeng, their faces were filled with embarrassment, especially Ouyang Lingfeng, whose smile suddenly stiffened and he began to speak with a sullen face, "Liuli..."

"I’m really sorry, I appreciate the thought, thank you."

Before Ouyang Lingfeng could finish his words, Su Liuli placed her right hand over the neckline of her evening dress and her left hand behind her back, bowing slightly in thanks.

As her words fell, Su Liuli no longer gave Ouyang Lingfeng and the others a chance to speak. With an apologetic smile, she turned around and quickly returned to the center of the dance floor to prepare for the cake-cutting ceremony.

"Sister Liuli, big brother is here!"

Just as Su Liuli was about to reach the dance floor, Situ Ruoshui suddenly whispered in her ear in a low voice. Her Mental Body was stimulated by Ye Fan, and her Consciousness had retained a bit of Ye Fan’s Spiritual Imprint, giving her a faint sense of Ye Fan, so even if Ye Fan completely contained his aura, she could still detect his presence.

Hmm?

Startled upon hearing Situ Ruoshui’s words, Su Liuli was shaken to the core, and her steps halted as if a high-speeding car had suddenly slammed on the brakes!

Because Su Liuli’s action was so sudden, she lost her balance when she stopped and fell forward due to inertia.

"Lady Su!"

Seeing this, a bodyguard’s expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to steady Su Liuli.

"Thank you, I’m fine." Realizing her lapse, Su Liuli quickly adjusted her emotions, but her peripheral vision continued to stare towards the entrance.

"Huh, didn’t Sister Liuli not want big brother to come? Why are you so excited to hear that big brother is here?" Situ Ruoshui was filled with confusion.

The next moment.

Before Situ Ruoshui could figure anything out, under Su Liuli’s watchful eye, Ye Fan, dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, slowly entered the hall.

Whoosh!

Seeing the familiar figure of Ye Fan, Su Liuli’s pupils suddenly dilated, and Situ Ruoshui no longer pondered why Su Liuli was excited, instead, she waved excitedly at Ye Fan.

Hmm?

Seeing this, everyone was momentarily startled, then instinctively followed Su Liuli’s gaze to look and found Ye Fan walking into the hall with an old-fashioned box in his hands.

Who is this guy?

Including Ouyang Lingfeng, none of the students who came for the party had ever seen Ye Fan and were filled with questions.

Ignoring everyone’s stares, Ye Fan with the old-fashioned box in hand, walked straight towards Su Liuli.

Seeing Ye Fan approaching, Situ Ruoshui wore a happy smile, while Su Liuli, though she tried her best to control her emotions and kept reminding herself to stay calm, her slightly trembling hands revealed how excited her heart was!

"On the way here, I saw an old man fall and nobody helped, so I had Xiao Hu take him to the hospital, and I couldn’t get a taxi." Ye Fan stopped one meter away from Su Liuli and said with a wry smile, "Sorry for being late, happy birthday!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Fan handed the old-fashioned box to Su Liuli with both hands.

"It’s... it’s okay, thank you!"

Speaking incoherently, Su Liuli’s hands trembled as she accepted the old-fashioned box and then clutched it tightly in her palms, as if it contained the most precious treasure in the world!
