As for Ava, her company seemed to have encountered difficulties in the past period, and it was estimated that she couldn’t get much money, and she wouldn’t win it by herself!
Thinking about this, Lewis’s eyes flashed a little bit of pride.
A little later after their conversation, Mrs. Smith was helped by Anna and walked out.
Although she was not young, she was still very strong. On her birthday, she also wore a newly bought cheongsam, which looked a little more noble than usual.
When the old lady Smith appeared, all the people stood up immediately and quickly greeted Mrs. Smith.
Allen and Ava were naturally the same. When they got up and said hello, Anna was so eager to look forward to both.
She pointed to Mrs. Smith with the corner of her eyes, and picked her eyebrows again. She was proud of her reputation, which was showing off her close relationship with the old lady.
Allen and Ava ignored this, only a mad dog was angry at them.
Mrs. Smith was very happy looking at so many people to celebrate her birthday, “Everyone who came here today, I am absolutely delighted. Unfortunately, the old man is not in good health and couldn’t get out of bed for the time being.”
“Grandma, Grandpa will be fine soon! There are blessings from above. When his sickness is finally cured, Grandpa will be able to accompany you to live together!” Anna, who was next to her, comforted her.
Anna is really quite a talker, or she couldn’t be favored by Mrs. Smith.
Indeed, as soon as she said that, Mrs. Smith had a little smile on her face.
“Anna said he was fine, and grandpa will recover in a while!” Lewis sang with his wife and shouted.
The smile on the face of old lady Smith was even stronger. “Let us all take a seat. We haven’t been together for a long time but we shall eat!”
After everyone joined the table, Mrs. Smith noticed Allen and Ava were sitting in the corner.
“Allen, Professor Scott came last time, he said you have recently returned to the city hospital to be a doctor, and you are doing really well, aren’t you?” Mrs. Smith asked,
The last time that Smith’s father-in-law got sick, Allen helped him through the difficult times. This was very satisfying for Mrs. Smith, and she looked up at her son-in-law.
Hearing that, Allen smiled, “Thank you grandma for your concern, I am still learning now.”
“Grandma, Allen is now the deputy director of their department, and he has done very well!” Ava cut into their conversation.
As soon as they heard that Allen became deputy director in such a short time, everyone was surprised.
After all, he became a deputy director at such a young age. He would be able to be in the top of the city hospital. Everyone would be very sorry!
Lewis laughed. “A deputy director of the district? Last night, I had dinner with the vice presidents of the major hospitals in the city, even the director is not worthy of attending!” He told them with a sneer.
Seeing Lewis open the stage with money and ranking, Ava’s face flashed a bit of anger, she was about to attack, but Allen seized her small hand to stop.
“Did brother-in-law just state that we are not worthy of eating with you because we are not in a rank higher such that of a Vice President?? If so, then Ava and I will leave the table.” Allen smiled quietly.
Hearing his words, more than half of the members of the Smith family are not looking very good. They were not as good as the deputy director of the city hospital as well, aren’t they worthy of eating with Lewis as well?
Lewis changed his expression, but he didn’t expect Allen to provoke the separation.
“I don’t mean that, I mean…” Lewis just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Smith.
“Well, don’t say any more. Today is a family feast. We shouldn’t talk about nonsense!”
Although the old lady Smith’s face did not change much, there was a hint of dissatisfaction with Lewis in her voice.
Lewis also knew that he said it wrongly, and he hurriedly looked at Anna.
Anna smiled and tried to help her husband. “Grandma, the truth is, Lewis didn’t mean that. What he meant was, he ate with people yesterday. He learned that the biggest jade shop in Houston had a new jade Guanyin. He knew that your old man believed in Buddhism and bought it with his money!”
“Jade Guanyin? Where is it?” Old lady Smith showed a good look in her eyes.
She usually liked to worship Buddha, and she was very concerned about Buddha statues.
She knew that Lewis bought a jade Guanyin. Mrs. Smith was naturally happy in her heart.
“Lewis, you can take it out and show it to grandma!” Anna laughed.
Lewis hurriedly got up and ran to the side to take out the exquisite packing box. After opening, a jade Guanyin appeared in front of the public.
This Guanyin was like the material, jade was also very transparent, at a glance, it was not all products.
“My God, such a beautiful jade Guanyin! How much did it cost?” A family guard couldn’t help saying.
“It’s not expensive, it’s just hundreds of dollars!” Anna was relaxed.
When they heard it cost hundreds of dollars, all the people in the party couldn’t resist but inhale a breath of cool air, even Ava couldn’t help showing her shocked expression.
Lewis attracted all the attention of the people, which was also the scene he wanted.
Lewis happily told the old lady Smith, “Grandma, this is my birthday gift for you. How do you feel?”
Old lady Smith looked at the jade Guanyin, and her face was full of smiles. “Great! Lewis, Anna, I will take it with heart. Anna, grandma hurt you, I hope you really don’t have white pain.”
Anna knew what she meant and said, “Grandma, I am your most intimate little cotton jacket, of course it will be filial piety to you!”
At this time, Lewis turned to Allen and glanced at him. “Right, I don’t know what gift my cousin and her husband brought to grandma? Why don’t you take it out together and let’s see.”
As soon as this statement came out, Ava suddenly changed her face.
Lewis’s gift was worth hundreds of dollars. He would definitely belittle his gift compared with him!
She finally understood why Lewis would say that they would wait to be ashamed, this was what he meant.
“Our gift will be the gift of the entire group to grandma.” Ava said with a reluctant smile.
“Since that is the case, then we must take out the gifts first. Cousin Ava, do you mean it?” Anna looked at Ava, and her eyes were full of mockery.
This would be seen by all. Lewis and Anna had thought of this for a long time, that was to take advantage of this opportunity to humiliate Allen and Ava.
In fact, Mrs. Smith didn’t pay much attention to Ava at all. If Allen didn’t help Smith’s husband cure his illness last time, she would not talk to them just now.
Anna said that old lady Smith hurt her and Ava the most, pure bullshit!
But now this kind of occasion, let Ava say that old lady Smith did not hurt her, this also couldn’t say that, so Ava only be hard-headed
Indeed, after hearing Anna’s words, Ava’s face became particularly ugly.
Then, when Allen would bring out their gifts that were not comparable to Lewis’s Jade Guanyin, then the couple would surely humiliate them.
But if not, that is to admit that old lady Smith did not love Ava? It was not even better!
Ava sighed, she looked at Allen and smiled, “Okay! Let’s reveal ours.”
