In order to make the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Zhong family a success, Qin Miaoyan's second uncle who was in charge of the Zhong Group booked the entire restaurant of the Shudu Hotel, with a total of hundreds of tables.
In addition, Qin Miaoyan's second uncle informed all the guests that they were not allowed to follow the ceremony and the main purpose was to celebrate the occasion.
That being said, how could the guests not bring gifts?
Today's Zhong family is one of the best in Shu.
Those who can be invited by the Zhong family are all respectable people.
Whether it is for face, to strengthen the relationship with the Zhong family, or to seek benefits for the future, guests will give gifts.
The birthday banquet of the old lady of the Zhong family is held at noon and starts before twelve o'clock, which means vigor and longevity.
At eleven o'clock.
Chen Ye followed Zhong Qing, Qin Boli, and Qin Miaoyan's family to the main hall of the birthday banquet.
The main hall is not the largest banquet hall in Shudu Hotel, but the most luxurious banquet hall can only hold ten tables. Important guests will dine in the main hall.
Since it was still early, apart from a few guests, the main hall was dominated by the Zhong family.
As the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, the old lady of the Zhong family wore a festive burgundy dress, her hair was specially styled, her face was put on makeup, and her neck and wrists were covered with valuable jewelry.
She was sitting right in front of the main hall. Qin Miaoyan's uncle, second uncle and aunt were sitting below. The younger generation was standing on the outside, welcoming guests from all directions.
Um?
When the four Chen Ye entered the banquet hall, no names were announced, but everyone, including the old lady of the Zhong family, turned their attention to them.
They glanced at Glockenspiel first, and then turned their attention to Qin Miaoyan, who had incredible looks, graceful figure, and extraordinary temperament.
As for Qin Boli and Chen Ye, they were ignored.
of course there are exceptions.
In the crowd, there was a girl with a ponytail, and she cast her gaze on Chen Ye, with an incredible light bursting out of her eyes!
It seemed that she recognized Chen Ye!
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Ye and the other two walked to the front of the main hall and stopped five meters away from the old lady of the Zhong family.
Neither the old lady of the Zhong family nor Qin Miaoyan's uncle, second uncle, aunt, and their lovers got up.
He sat on the chair and looked at Chen Ye and the others with disgust, almost writing the words "you are not welcome here" on his face.
"Mom, today I'm bringing Bo Li, Miao Yan, and Miao Yan's fiancé to wish you a birthday. I wish you blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Zhong Qin noticed everyone's disgust, but still took the initiative to speak out and send blessings to the old lady of the Zhong family.
In any case, the old lady sitting in front is her mother, who has nurtured her.
"Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday and may you live younger and younger!"
Qin Miaoyan also sent her blessings.
She has a kind heart. Even though she knew that her grandmother's family had objections to her mother Zhongqin, she still followed the etiquette in place.
"Glockenspiel, it's enough for you to bring your husband and children. What do you do with a son-in-law who hasn't come to the house yet?"
As Zhong Qin, Qin Miaoyan and her daughter finished speaking, Zhong Rongheng, the boss of the Zhong family, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly.
"Brother, do you need to say this? It's obvious that you want to be a familiar face on this occasion today and take advantage of the Zhong family!"
Qin Miaoyan's aunt looked at Chen Ye with disdain.
Back then, she also had a man she liked, but for the sake of the family's interests, she made sacrifices and married a descendant of a powerful family in the capital of Shu at that time. She has always been brooding about this.
At this moment, she held a gun and a stick as soon as she opened her mouth, showing strong dissatisfaction.
"Brother, Xiaoye is not only Miaoyan's fiancé, but also the son of my best friend Fang Lan."
When Zhongqin heard the sound, her expression changed. She first explained to her eldest brother, and then looked at the old lady of the Zhong family,
"Mom, you should remember Fang Lan, right? When you went to Donghai to treat diseases, it was Fang Lan who was the expert."
"I remember."
Hearing this, the old lady of the Zhong family nodded slightly and said, "Since he is her child and your future son-in-law, let him stay alone."
"Mom, this is the birthday gift that Xiaoqin and I prepared for you!"
Hearing what the old lady of the Zhong family said, Qin Boli smiled and handed over a box with both hands.
The box contains a pair of bracelets made of Hetian jade, which he collected when he went to the northwest. The current market value is nearly a thousand Tabula.
Qin Boli was willing to take out this collection as a gift to the old lady of the Zhong family, mainly to please Zhong Qin and at the same time make up for his mistake of preventing Qin Miaoyan and Chen Ye from getting together.
Now, with the help of Chen Ye's reputation and the help of the Qiao family, the Qin family is prosperous in Jiangzhou and even the entire Jiangnan.
"Hello, Grandma Zhong, this is a gift that Miaoyan and I have prepared for you. Happy birthday to you."
At the same time, Chen Ye also stepped forward and handed over a box made of top-grade pear wood that he was carrying.
Although he was a little unhappy with the Zhong family's attitude and what he said just now, he didn't care about it for Qin Miaoyan's sake.
Think of it as repaying the kindness of raising her to her future mother-in-law, Zhong Qin, and helping Qin Miaoyan fulfill her filial piety!
"Xiaogui, help grandma collect the gift."
The old lady of the Zhong family nodded slightly and said to a young member of the Zhong family.
The Xiaogui she talks about is the second eldest child of the Zhong family and the eldest grandson of the Zhong family. He is a famous rich second generation in Shu.
"Hey, these Hetian jade bracelets are pretty good."
Zhong Gui first took the box from Qin Boli's hand, opened it in public, praised it, and then brought it to the old lady of the Zhong family.
In an instant.
The Zhong family, including the old lady of the Zhong family, all turned their attention to the pair of Hetian jade bracelets, and they all saw that they were of good quality.
"Qin Boli, it seems that your Qin family has done a good job in engineering projects in the past few years and has made money. You are actually willing to give such an expensive gift to the old lady."
Immediately, Zhong Ronghua, the second eldest son of the Zhong family, glanced at Qin Boli with a smile.
Because of the pair of Hetian jade bracelets, his attitude towards Qin Boli improved a little, but only a little.
A ten million bracelet is a rare treasure to ordinary people, but to the Zhong family, it is just like that.
Hearing this, Qin Boli couldn't help but want to brag a lot, but was stopped by Glockenspiel's eyes, and in the end he could only laugh twice.
The Qin family has become prosperous, but it mainly relies on Chen Ye.
Since Zhongqin wouldn't let him show off his son-in-law, he could only hold it in.
"Tsk, tsk, the material of this wooden box looks good. It looks a bit like pear wood. It can't be real, right?"
At this moment, Zhong Gui took the box from Chen Ye's hand and laughed jokingly.
Chen Ye did not answer.
He had no study of wood.
As for this gift, he arranged for the Qiao family to prepare it. As for what it was, he didn't even look at it.
It can't be true!
Almost at the same time, this sentence came to the minds of all the Zhong family members present.
Because top-grade pear wood is worth thousands of gold.
If the box in Chen Ye's hand is really made of top-grade pear wood, its material and craftsmanship would be worth more than the pair of Hetian jade bracelets Qin Boli gave him before.
And how valuable should a gift placed in a top-quality pear wood box be?
According to normal logic, the gifts given by Chen Ye and Qin Miaoyan will definitely not be more valuable than those given by Qin Boli and Zhong Qin!
After finishing his words, Zhong Gui opened the top-grade pear wood box, and there were three exquisite boxes inside.
"Fancy, what is it?"
Zhong Gui muttered, and then opened all three exquisite boxes in one go.
next moment.
Except for Chen Ye, everyone’s expressions changed!
Because, the three exquisite boxes are all shining with emerald green light, and there are a safety buckle, a bracelet, and a necklace respectively.
"This...is this an imperial green three-piece suit?!"
Immediately, the silence at the scene was broken, and Qin Miaoyan's aunt shouted loudly.
As the wife of the secretary-general of Shu Capital, she particularly likes jewelry and jade and pays close attention to news in this area.
Some time ago, an imperial green three-piece suit was photographed at 6.5 points in the East China Sea. This incident caused a sensation in the jewelry circle.
Qin Miaoyan's aunt also heard about it and even watched the video.
She recognized it at a glance. The thing placed in front of the old lady of the Zhong family at this moment was the legendary imperial green three-piece suit!
"Auntie, I've also heard that the imperial green three-piece suit was auctioned for 650 million at the Donghai Auction. Do you think the two of them can give such an expensive gift? This must be a fake!"
Aunt Qin Miaoyan's exclamation sounded in his ears, Zhong Gui came back to his senses and spoke.
Zhong Rongheng, the boss of the Zhong family, glanced at his wife with a frown and said:
"Thankfully, you are still playing with jewelry, and your eyesight is not as good as Xiaogui."
"Haha, if this imperial green three-piece suit is real, I'll dig out my eyeballs!"
At this moment, Qin Miaoyan's aunt also sneered.
"Mom, I have been collecting jewelry and antiques for almost 30 years! I can guarantee that the imperial green three-piece set Xiaoye gave you is authentic!"
At the same time, Qin Boli looked excited.
At first, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see the legendary treasure up close, and that it would be given away by his son-in-law!
Secondly, he was very angry that the Zhong family had no eyes for treasures!
"Qin Boli, if I give you some color, you can open a dyeing workshop. At best, you are in the construction industry, at worst, you are a contractor. I can understand that the Qin family makes some money, but you told me that you collect antiques Jewelry? Your son-in-law gave hundreds of millions in gifts? Do you think we are fools?"
Zhong Ronghua, the second eldest son of the Zhong family, scolded him coldly.
At the same time, the old lady of the Zhong family couldn't help frowning and said angrily:
"Zhongqin, it's okay for you to bring your future son-in-law to my birthday banquet, so that you can gain experience and see the world. After all, her mother indirectly saved my life back then. But your future son-in-law is pretending to be fat just to make him look fat. Isn't it bad to use a fake to fool a bad old woman like me?"
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows.
Although he didn't know what the imperial green three-piece suit in front of him was, he believed that the Qiao family would never give him a fake.
"Chen Ye, since they all say that the things you sent are fake, let's take them back."
After hearing what her second uncle and grandma said one after another, and noticing Chen Ye's frowning behavior, Qin Miaoyan became a little angry.
She knew that Chen Ye came and brought gifts to the old lady of the Zhong family to celebrate her birthday because of her and her mother!
She accepts Chen Ye's kindness, but it doesn't mean that she will watch the Zhong family's dogs bite Lu Dongbin and not recognize a good heart.
She doesn't want Chen Ye to be wronged here!
next moment.
Before Chen Ye could answer, a voice sounded from the crowd.
The girl with a ponytail asked excitedly:
"You...are you really Brother Chen Ye?!"
…
