Chen Jiahui's parents, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's extrely polite words, almost fainted.
What the heck, this is the birthday gift I prepared for our mom's grand sixty-sixth birthday, a gift for you?!
They looked at Mu Jinyu's radiant smile, really wanting to question him, "Do you have no sha? Who pressures others for gifts like this?"
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, they felt like nails were on their backs, especially knowing that Mu Jinyu was no ordinary person. Though they wanted to complain, they dared not challenge him or admit they didn't prepare any gift at all.
If they dared to say so, they would probably be beaten out with sticks by people called by Mu Jinyu!
That would completely humiliate them.
Hence, after hesitating for a mont, Chen Jiahui's parents eventually chose to swallow their pride, ignored the angry glares from their elderly mother beside them, and, with forced smiles, handed the gift to Mu Jinyu, saying, "Yes, just a little token of..."
Standing aside, Yu Linglong, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words and seeing Chen Jiahui's parents' distressed expressions, couldn't help but chuckle.
She understood there must be so grudges between them, otherwise Mu Jinyu wouldn't go so far as to put them in such a spot.
Mu Jinyu generously accepted the gift bag handed over by Chen Jiahui's parents and violently ripped it open, revealing a scroll of calligraphy inside.
After looking at it for a few monts, he nodded and said, "Hmm, it's an original, not bad, worth probably tens of thousands."
After assessing it, Mu Jinyu handed the scroll to Yu Linglong, saying, "Here, your birthday gift."
Yu Linglong caught it, feeling sowhat odd. It was clearly coerced from others, yet he spoke as if he was gifting it himself.
anwhile, Grandma Chen, seeing the scroll, looked like she was about to breathe fire.
She recognized it as an original from her favorite artist, depicting longevity peaches. Previously, her son had ntioned he might buy it for her, which she thought was too expensive and unlikely for her son to purchase.
Unexpectedly, her son had indeed bought it, planning to give it to her as a gift for her sixty-sixth birthday!
But what she didn't anticipate was that the gift wouldn't end up in her hands but in those of unrelated people!
Seeing this, Grandma Chen felt so aggrieved she could spit blood.
She felt steam rising from her head in anger.
It was just her sixty-sixth birthday, how could it be so difficult? Not only had the young girl stolen all the spotlight, but even the granddaughter's gift had been handed over by her own hands to soone else.
How suffocating!
Then, using the sa excuse, her son and daughter-in-law's intended gift was given to Yu Linglong, who had absolutely no relation to them.
Giving the gift to Lin Qiaoxia, there was at least so vague student relationship with their granddaughter, and the two to three thousand worth Shoushan Stone Buddhist figure pinched her heart, but she felt it was worth it if it could bring them closer!
But what about Yu Linglong? And the gift was a scroll worth tens of thousands!
Chen Jiahui's father, seeing his elderly mother trembling as if unable to bear the shock and about to faint, hurriedly ca over to console her, "Mom, don't be angry, it's just a thing worth tens of thousands, it's nothing. As long as we use this opportunity to connect with them and cooperate with the people present, isn't the money going to co back to us in a few days? Don't be upset..."
Thinking this way, Grandma Chen felt it made sense and decided not to be too upset; she just planned on attending her own birthday banquet, letting Mu Jinyu help them arrange a table, and then slowly mingling with the people in the banquet hall afterward.
Especially with the Jiang and Xu Families' young ladies, she couldn't miss the chance to make connections.
Having just earned so favor in front of Mu Jinyu, they should give them so face, and with just a little leak from their hands, wouldn't their tens and hundreds of thousands be deposited into their accounts in minutes?
Not a bad deal at all!
Grandma Chen was forcibly consoling herself and was about to ask Mu Jinyu to arrange a table for them!
However, they hadn't even spoken yet.
At that mont.
The ringtone of Chen Jiahui's father's phone suddenly went off.
He took out his phone and hesitated for a mont before answering it.
"Hello, what's going on with Uncle Six? You guys go ahead and eat!"
The venue was noisy, and after answering the call, Chen Jiahui's father shouted a few tis before switching to speaker mode, and suddenly the loud voice of Uncle Six bood out.
"Hello, are you still having the birthday banquet or not? We've been waiting for half a day now, and the banquet hasn't started. Where has everyone gone?"
Chen Jiahui's father was about to explain to Uncle Six, asking him to stay calm and that he would arrange the banquet shortly; they could just eat slowly on the side.
But when Mu Jinyu heard Uncle Six's voice, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Ah?! So you're also having a birthday celebration tonight, oh no, I an, a birthday banquet!"
When Chen Jiahui and Wang Chaoyong heard Mu Jinyu say this, they imdiately felt a pang of dread, sensing trouble brewing.
Sure enough.
Mu Jinyu continued, "Then, I truly apologize for keeping you too long. We won't hold you up then, take care, and happy birthday!"
Mu Jinyu didn't even know whose birthday banquet it was, nor did he care; he casually wished them a happy birthday without planning to give them a birthday gift and then called out:
"Ah-Biao, see the guests out!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The imposing Wang Zhengbiao, clad in a suit that was nearly bursting at the seams, walked over and with a cold voice gestured to the stunned Chen Family and said:
"This way, please!"
The Chen Family mbers, still dazed, really wanted to say, "We're not prepared to celebrate the big six-six birthday; we'd like to stay for a al!"
But intimidated by Wang Zhengbiao's gaze, they swallowed their saliva. In the end, they obediently followed Wang Zhengbiao and left the banquet hall! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
As soon as the door closed, the festivities inside had nothing to do with them!
After the Chen Family left, Grandma Chen, still a bit confused, suddenly realized sothing and jumped up furiously, cursing, "Damn it, they didn't give us a return gift!"
"Exactly, what kind of people are these? Even if we were celebrating a big birthday, he took so many gifts from us, shouldn't he give sothing in return?"
Chen Jiahui's parents, as well as her grandfather, also caught on and were furious!
Then, they turned their eyes toward the shivering Chen Jiahui and Wang Chaoyong, their looks nacing as they demanded sternly, "Speak up, what exactly happened? Aren't you supposed to be classmates with them?"
Chen Jiahui had no choice but to admit that her relationship with Lin Qiaoxia was not good.
The Chen Family, upon hearing this, rolled their eyes and almost passed out.
Shit, so you had beef with them? Why didn't you say so earlier? We wouldn't have bothered planning for the big six-six birthday, shalessly staying back trying to connect with them.
And fuck, the birthday gift was already sent out, but we didn't get anything in return, not even a chance to familiarize our faces!
