Chapter 270
After the formalities were said, it was time for the gift-giving part.
At this kind of family banquet of top families, the gifts received were very low-key. It was not like what was written in the Dragon King novel, where everyone had to report what the gift was and introduce the price when they presented it. That was really too cheap.
Generally, if you really want to compete, you can just put the gift in a translucent gift box, and then let the audience see it inadvertently, and then be shocked - invisible pretense is the most deadly.
This is how Nangong Ye gave gifts. He gave a golden basalt inlaid with a thousand precious gems, which was placed in a translucent gift box. When this gift was presented, everyone present began to discuss it.
This was the gift that Nangong Baiye prepared for Mr. Jiang. The reason for giving this gift was that he got the news that Nangong Shouye prepared a pure gold basalt for Mr. Jiang. He gave a gold one, and he gave a gem-inlaid one. It was not for anything else, but to suppress him.
However, Nangong Ye was angry about Jiang Beichen's matter that time, so he didn't come to give a gift, and the diamond-studded black tortoise was not given out, which indirectly led to the Jiang family's approach to Nangong Shouye and others.
Today, when the diamond-studded black tortoise was served, Jiang Anrong on the stage almost laughed his face off, and hurriedly called his son Jiang Zhenmin to hold the gift and show it to everyone. Nangong Xiao, who was sitting in the audience, saw this scene and his face turned green with anger.
He never expected that his uncle would use this method to pressure them.
Nangong Xiao cursed inwardly: "Fuck you Nangong Baiye, you gave a turtle with diamonds, why don't you give your wife 13 with diamonds to this stinky old man?"
When Nangong Xiao cursed his uncle, he was merciless at all. If Nangong Baiye heard this, he would probably be beaten again.
Jiang Tian sat next to Nangong Xiao, and he was terrified just by listening to his curse inwardly, for fear that Nangong Xiao's words would be heard by others and spread to Nangong Baiye's ears.
Before meeting the madman Nangong Xiao, Jiang Tian always thought that he was very arrogant. After meeting Nangong Xiao, Jiang Tian found that his arrogant arrogance was not enough in front of the real madman.
He had a hunch that Nangong Xiao was not a person worth cooperating with. The Jiang family might not be able to afford this gamble of the Nangong family. Instead of betting on both sides with his father and building a good relationship with the two brothers of the Nangong family, it would be better to play with the Liu family - at least Liu Muye is more like a normal person than these two brothers.
Jiang Tian thought about it, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Liu Muye who was sitting in the corner - Jiang Tian actually wanted to join Liu Muye, this kid's fence-sitting personality is exactly the same as him!
Han Juyou, who was sitting next to Liu Muye, looked at Jiang Tian's strange eyes and felt something was wrong, so she whispered in Liu Muye's ear: "The boy sitting next to Nangong Ye looks at you in a strange way, you should pay attention!"
"That guy...isn't he Jiang Qishou's son?"
Liu Muye narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Tian.
Seeing Liu Muye looking at him, Jiang Tian immediately smiled, as if he wanted to show his goodwill to Liu Muye, but there was Nangong Xiao sitting next to him, and that thing just happened in the garage, so his smile was full of provocation in the eyes of Liu Muye and Han Juyou.
Han Juyou whispered: "Look, this kid is really problematic."
"Yeah." Liu Muye nodded and said, "Can someone who plays with Nangong Xiao be a good person? Don't even think about it."
The history of the Jiang family's rise to wealth is the dirtiest among the four families, and in the later period of the book, the Jiang family did not have a good ending at all. Liu Muye certainly would not associate with people like them.
At this moment, Jiang Tian didn't know what Liu Muye was thinking. He thought Liu Muye accepted his kindness.
In fact, it was completely his wishful thinking.
After Nangong Ye's gift was presented, no one dared to present a gift after a few minutes. It was not because the gift was better than Nangong Ye's and they were afraid of suppressing the Nangong family's limelight, but because Nangong Xiao hadn't presented a gift yet, and they didn't dare to present the gift before Nangong Xiao.
Now, Nangong Xiao was a little embarrassed.
Nangong Xiao's gift was also a translucent box with a golden basalt in it, which was obviously not as good as the gem-studded golden basalt that Nangong Ye presented. The same thing but different quality, if it was presented on stage now, wouldn't it be a pure slap in the face?
So, he cast his eyes on Jiang Tian on the side.
Jiang Tian knew what Nangong Xiao meant, and didn't dare to say much. He immediately stood up and became the first bird to speak out.
The Jiang family didn't have so many particulars, and directly gave a few gold bars, which was considered to be rich and powerful. However, compared with the Nangong family's big black tortoise, it was still a little less domineering, and it was a bit vulgar to directly give gold bars, but the Jiang family only had this much background, and he couldn't pay anything else.
After the Jiang family gave gifts, people from other families didn't care about Nangong Xiao.
The Shangguan family gave a scepter, the body of the scepter was made of small-leaf red sandalwood, which was expensive, but it was just to set off the head of the scepter. The warm jade dove on the head of the scepter was an old object from one or two hundred years ago, and it was also an antique. The value would not be too cheap. Compared with the wealthy Nangong Baiye, this gift was more subtle.
The Song family's gift was a ginseng, and a bunch of tonic medicinal materials. The price of the medicinal materials was naturally not cheap, and there was nothing to study.
The gifts given by the other guests were all in gift boxes, and they didn't dare to show them.
When the gifts were almost done, Nangong Xiao didn't dare to wait any longer and directly gave his golden black tortoise.
Nangong Xiaoyuan thought that if he secretly sent it over, no one would pay attention to him, but everyone was paying attention to him.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became awkward in an instant.
At this time, if Liu Muye was Nangong Ye, he would probably be crazy about his younger brother, but Nangong Ye himself could not do such a thing, or in other words, in the setting of the domineering president, he disdained to do such childish things of dragging others down.
Han Juyou pointed at Nangong Ye and said with a silly smile: "Hehe, he has become a clown."
Han Juyou's voice was not loud, and no one else heard it except Liu Muye.
"Shh..."
Liu Muye put his index finger on Han Juyou's lips, and wanted to signal Han Juyou not to talk nonsense at this time, but when he turned around, he saw Han Juyou's blurred eyes slightly squinting, looking at him.
"Are you really drunk?"
Looking at Han Juyou's drunken appearance, Liu Muye's heart tightened.
When Han Juyou was chatting with Liu Muye just now, her face was not so red, but now she looks drunk.
Liu Muye was really a little panicked.
"Don't worry, I'm not drunk, I'm fine! Trojan~"
Han Juyou said, and kissed the index finger that Liu Muye put on his mouth.
Okay, the identification is complete, this is really drunk!
