The Magnificent Son-in-law Chapter 889: A Generous Gift That Looks Thin

The brightly dressed young won made their entrance to the music, their fiery figures twisting to the rhythmic beat, creating a visual spectacle that was nothing short of perfect.

Unfortunately, under the influence of the words "million-dollar prize," few looked up at the stage, most were focused on fiddling with their phones.

Backstage, Xiao Feng turned to Lu Yao and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's great!" Lu Yao replied with a smile, "The store's Weibo followers have now surpassed half a million, and the sales platform's followers have accumulated to over a million, continuing to grow."

Xiao Feng nodded, speaking softly, "By this ti, the celebrities should also have arrived."

Just as he finished speaking, a loud yet aged laughter was heard.

Following the laughter, Du Qingyun, dressed in a long robe, approached with Qingyue supporting him.

"Xiao Feng, we're family, no need to differentiate. Consider this gift as my congratulatory present to you."

As he spoke, Du Qingyun reached to the side, took a red wooden box, and handed it to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng opened it and found a pair of Jade Ruyi, looking crystal clear and expertly crafted.

He reached out to touch it, feeling the smooth and soft texture, akin to touching top-quality silk.

"These are your grandfather's favorites among his many collectibles," Du Feixiang comnted to Qingyue.

Feigning displeasure, Du Qingyun said, "What could be more important than my beloved granddaughter and her husband?"

Qingyue remained silent, planning to return the Jade Ruyi after the ceremony.

Similarly, Xiao Feng did not show much interest; having seen the treasures left by Sun Shijie's ancestors, this pair of Jade Ruyi seed rather ordinary.

Additionally, Xiao Feng might not be skilled in appraising antique collections but he knew the Jade Ruyi was historically a "scratching stick" for the wealthy, essentially a luxurious "itch scratcher."

It first appeared during the Warring States Period, gaining popularity in the Ming and Qing dynasties, representing auspiciousness and the arrival of happiness.

"Also, Linlang couldn't make it today, she repeatedly reminded to convey her congratulations and apologize," Du Feixiang said.

Xiao Feng and Qingyue nodded, indicating it was not a big deal.

Du Qingyun and Du Feixiang exchanged a glance, with the latter saying, "There's another matter; on our way here, we received a text ssage from Bai Huanyu."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, showing Xiao Feng the ssage content which indeed was the mass ssage Lu Yao had sent.

Xiao Feng furrowed his brows, a hint of suspicion perfectly appearing in his eyes.

Du Qingyun, unperturbed, said, "Xiao Feng, there's no need to worry. If we were colluding with Bai Huanyu, we wouldn't have shown you the text.

I suspect Bai Huanyu intends to sow discord between us."

"It's a pity Bai Huanyu miscalculated. We are a family; how could we possibly distrust each other over an inexplicable ssage from him?" Du Feixiang exclaid righteously, glancing at Xiao Feng to gauge his reaction.

No matter how sincere the words may be, the key is whether he believes it; if not, it becos troubleso.

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, "Our ancestors taught us long ago to listen to the words and observe the actions. What is said is not important; what is done is."

"The ti is almost right; we should go and greet the arriving guests."

After saying this, Xiao Feng led Qingyue towards the VIP seats.

Du Qingyun exchanged a glance with his son, a touch of seriousness evident in both their eyes.

Observe the words; watch the actions.

Within those six short words lies profound aning, intriguing to ponder.

...

The VIP seats were arranged with thirty chairs, the path leading there was lined with red carpets, surrounded by flowers, such a lavish treatnt indeed.

Not long after, Chang Wenhua and Chang Xinyan walked down the red carpet, greeting with smiles even from afar.

Xiao Feng reciprocated the smile, relatively content with this father-son pair who seed well aware of the situation.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Chang Wenhua clasped his hands together, "We rushed here without much preparation, just bringing a small gift as a token of respect."

Having finished speaking, he accepted a folder passed by Chang Xinyan beside him and handed it to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng, his expression unchanged, accepted the folder, noting its thinness, just a few pages.

But he could foresee, hidden within this folder, there would likely be hidden intrigues, not simply an ordinary "small gift."

"Mind if I open it now?" Xiao Feng asked, but before waiting for a response from Chang Wenhua, he opened it himself.

Chang Wenhua's brow subtly furrowed, following up quickly before the folder was fully opened: "Please go ahead."

Inside the folder, indeed, there were only a few pages, no hidden checks or anything like that.

However, upon seeing the contents, Xiao Feng's gaze hardened; this was not rely a "small gift."

The few pages contained two contracts involving equity.

To put it plainly, Chang Wenhua wanted to develop a new project, gifting Xiao Feng and Qingyue thirty percent of the shares.

The project's total investnt exceeding a billion, and the location... three kiloters north of the Wild Lake near the urban village.

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, wondering why he seed to have so peculiar bond with that Wild Lake.

Why did it keep resurfacing every now and then?

"Do you think we should accept Chang sir's small gift or not?" Xiao Feng handed the folder to Qingyue.

Qingyue, upon looking, also showed a flicker of disbelief in her eyes.

First, gifting luxury hotel ownership, now offering shares equivalent to real money, even if the Chang family is wealthy, they shouldn't treat money so carelessly, right?

Nonetheless, she wasn't aware, this was a relatively safe strategy the Chang father and son had thought of after much consideration.

In recent months, led by Du Linlang, the Lanyue Group's expansion had been extrely rapid.

With Du Linlang frequently using Xiao Feng's na as leverage, it almost gave heart problems to Chang Wenhua and Chang Xinyan.

However, regardless of the situation, they couldn't just watch the group's developnt stagnate.

Therefore, the Chang father and son decided to bind their interests with Xiao Feng as the sole solution.

Though inevitably wasting significant money, it was certainly better than watching the Lanyue Group dominate the market.

"Chang sir, this is no small gift; it's a generous one," Qingyue calmly emphasized, "A genuinely grand gift."

Chang Wenhua's heart was in his throat; Qingyue was from the Du Family, and the Lanyue Group was also theirs. If they didn't accept, all the preparations would have been in vain.

He couldn't recall the last ti he had been so anxious about whether a gift would be accepted or not.

"Such a generous gift, according to the principle of not accepting an unearned reward, we shouldn't accept it, but since Chang sir has presented it, it's inappropriate to refuse; I believe we should accept it." Qingyue turned to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng nodded, "I think so too."

Chang Wenhua imdiately sighed in relief, quickly taking out the pen from his chest pocket to sign on-site.
