Chapter 380: Let the Xu Family Give Up
Front hall.
There was an endless stream of people congratulating the old man, and the old man was all smiles.
In fact, in such occasions, giving and receiving gifts are very particular.
If the gift is ordinary, the gift giver usually says a few words of congratulations and then hands the gift to the housekeeper next to Mr. Jiang.
The rest of the time, no mention of the gift.
In this case, Mr. Jiang would not mention the gift either.
There is another situation.
The gift giver is very high-profile and hands the gift to the old man in person.
Such people are generally more concerned about face, and the gifts they give are also more expensive.
They hope that the old man can open the gift on the spot so that they can earn some face.
For example...
Xu Hao walked over here.
"Uncle Jiang, you are getting better and better, I am ashamed of myself!"
"Nephew is here, I wish you good health, happiness as vast as the East Sea, and longevity as great as the South Mountain!"
"This is a little gift from me, I hope it will please you!"
As he said that, he handed a gift box to Mr. Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "That's thoughtful!"
Then, under the gaze of everyone, he carefully opened the gift box.
The old man pushed the gold-wire reading glasses on his nose: "Wow, what a big jade ruyi."
"The jade is transparent, moist and shiny. It is the best Hetian jade."
"It looks like this jade should have a history, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Hao smiled: "Grandpa's vision is really good. He can tell at a glance that this is a jade ruyi with a history!"
Xu Zimo, who was beside Xu Hao, also echoed: "My dad is right. Grandpa Jiang's vision is really good. This jade was used by the Shangshu of the previous dynasty. My dad spent a lot of money to buy it from the auction."
Everyone was a little surprised to hear Xu Zimo's words.
"There was indeed a jade ruyi at the auction a month ago, but it was sold to the Xu family at a high price of 10 million. I think it was this one, right?"
"The Xu family is indeed a noble family. They gave a gift worth 10 million yuan. If it were me, I would definitely be reluctant to give it up..."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Can the Xu family's pattern be the same as yours?"
...
"Zimo!" Xu Hao scolded in a pretentious manner.
Xu Zimo then took two steps back.
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "I can't accept this gift."
Xu Hao was stunned: "Uncle Jiang, why?"
Mr. Jiang then said, "This gift is really too expensive. I am embarrassed to accept it!"
If he really didn't want to accept it, Mr. Jiang still didn't want to accept it.
After all, their Jiang family and the Xu family had such a relationship before.
He didn't want Jiang Li to marry into the Xu family again.
Besides, he was very satisfied with Lin Chen.
If the Xu family still has evil intentions after accepting the gift, it will be troublesome.
But it is not right not to accept it.
After all, this is a birthday gift specially sent by others.
Hearing this, Xu Hao smiled and said: "Uncle Jiang, this is a gift specially prepared for you by our Xu family. How can you not accept it?"
The people around him also began to persuade him.
"Yes, Mr. Xu is right, Mr. Jiang, you should accept it."
"Yes, it is Mr. Xu's kindness anyway, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, if you don't accept it, it will be unreasonable!"
...
Mr. Jiang had no choice but to say: "Then, I will accept the gift, thank you."
Xu Hao smiled: "Uncle Jiang, you are polite, we are all family, why do you say thank you to us?"
Mr. Jiang frowned slightly.
Family?
He is not a family with these people.
When the Jiang family's Yunsheng Group was in crisis, he personally went to the Xu family to ask for help.
They were willing to help, but the conditions they offered were very harsh.
In other words, it was almost like robbing.
The Xu family was very ambitious and wanted to erode the Jiang family's Yunsheng Group step by step.
Not only that, they also wanted Jiang Li to marry there.
After that setback, the Jiang family had seen the true face of the Xu family.
At this time, someone asked curiously: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that Miss Jiang brought a boyfriend back from Donghai. Is this true?"
After this, many people quieted down and wanted to see Mr. Jiang's attitude.
Jiang Li's marriage was still of great concern to many people.
Even Xu Hao and Xu Zimo stared at Mr. Jiang closely.
When they gave the gifts just now, they had already hinted clearly that the Jiang and Xu families were a family.
I hope Mr. Jiang will not be ungrateful!
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, I am also very satisfied with this kid."
In one sentence, all the fantasies of the Xu family were dispelled.
The faces of Xu Hao and his son suddenly darkened.
Isn't this a slap in the face of the Xu family in front of everyone?
Jiang family... Good job!
Someone who is a good person asked: "Hey, Mr. Jiang, where is your future grandson-in-law?"
"In the backyard, he should be here soon." Mr. Jiang said kindly.
As soon as the words fell, a crisp voice came.
"Grandpa!"
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.
Who else is coming, if not Jiang Li?
She is still as bright as ever.
The dark blue long skirt, dotted with broken diamonds, is extremely dazzling.
It makes her figure even more proud.
However, there is also a man beside her.
At this moment, Jiang Li's hand is on his arm.
Everyone knew it in their hearts.
This person is probably the boyfriend that Jiang Li brought back from the East China Sea, right?
Jiang Li took Lin Chen's arm and walked to Grandpa Jiang.
"Grandpa, A Li is here to wish you a happy birthday!"
"This is a gift from A Li to you, a picture of galloping horses, I hope you like it."
After that, he handed the scroll in his hand to Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang was almost unable to close his mouth.
Nothing made him happier than receiving a gift from his most beloved granddaughter.
"Good, good, good! Grandpa likes it very much, A Li is thoughtful!"
At this time, Xu Zimo, who had been watching from the side, gritted his teeth and stood up: "Mr. Lin, as Grandpa Jiang's future son-in-law, I wonder what gift you have prepared for Grandpa Jiang?"
This sentence shifted everyone's attention to Lin Chen.
Yes, as Jiang Li's boyfriend, what kind of gift would he give to Grandpa Jiang?
Below, Xiao Yang, Huang Shaohua and others looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
How bad can the gift from someone who can buy an Airbus A380 intercontinental flight be?
They should not get involved in the fight between gods.
To avoid being hurt by mistake.
Xu Zimo looked at them with some curiosity.
These people usually love to jump around, why did they stop at this time?
Huang Shaohua and others shifted their sights and pretended not to see it.
Lin Chen said lightly: "The gift will arrive later."
Some people laughed directly.
"It will arrive later. In my opinion, it won't come empty-handed, right?"
