"That's right, this dress looks very shoddy, so the price must have been pasted on later."
Everyone mocked Qin Yulian.
At this time, Chen Yong walked over and said with a cold face, "The four of you, why are you still standing here? Don't you think you have lost enough face?"
Chen Qiang looked at Chen Yong and immediately shrank his head in fear.
"We are not standing there?" Chen Mengyao took a step forward and said, "We are also here to celebrate grandma's birthday. We can't just go back now, right?"
Celebration?
Chen Wenchao immediately burst into laughter. "In your family, you are so poor that you can't even open the pot. What kind of gift can you prepare for grandma?"
Chen Qian also had a look of disdain on her face.
"Wenchao, forget it. There are still many VIPs here. It would be a joke if others heard it." Chen Yong said.
"I invite the disciples of Chen family to celebrate the Matriarch's birthday!"
At this moment, the emcee loudly shouted.
Immediately following that, hundreds of people from the Chen family rushed into the villa.
Even though Qin Yulian was angry, she could only hold it in.
At this moment, in the villa of the Chen family, all the guests had already taken their seats.
The Matriarch was dressed in festive clothes and sat on the main seat. She looked very happy.
Hundreds of disciples who were lying down stood in a row. The scene looked very spectacular.
"The disciples of Chen family pay their respects to the Matriarch. I wish the Matriarch that today will come." The emcee shouted with a microphone in hand.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of Chen family disciples knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Madam Chen.
"The Chen family disciples pay their respects to the Matriarch and wish the Matriarch good luck Lu Donghai."
"The disciples of the Chen family pay their respects to the Matriarch. May..."
After three weeks, the emcee loudly shouted, "The ceremony is completed. I invite the descendants of the Chen family to present their gifts."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man held a jade pendant in his hand and presented it to the emcee.
The master of ceremonies said loudly, Chen Zi'ang, a piece of white jade with a piece of white jade.
Chen Ziming, two boxes of Winter Bug Summer Grass.
Chen Mei Xuan, one diamond necklace!
...
She sang the birthday gifts of twenty to thirty disciples of the Chen family in a row. Although none of them were particularly valuable, they were all worth no less than ten thousand yuan. The more she sang, the higher the value of the gifts would be.
Old Madam Chen looked kindly at the younger generation of the Chen family, feeling very satisfied in her heart.
When she saw Chen Qiang and his family hiding in a corner, she immediately furrowed her brows.
She quickly called Chen Wenchao and asked, "Wenchao, do you know what kind of birthday gift your Second Uncle and his family prepared?"
Chen Wenchao was stunned and shook his head. "Grandma, I don't know."
Old Madam Chen had always disliked her second son. Even if their family was poor and destitute, she would pretend not to see it.
"Go and ask if the gifts they prepared were too bad. Ask them not to give gifts. I can't afford to lose that person!" Old Madam Chen did not want any strange gifts to appear on her 70th birthday, which would make people laugh at her.
"Yes!"
Chen Wenchao bowed and said.
Then he walked in front of Chen Qiang and said arrogantly, "Grandma told me to tell you not to go up and give gifts later. She can't afford to lose face."
What?
Qin Yulian and Chen Qiang looked at each other when they heard that.
Chen Mengyao's expression did not look too good either.
"We are ready this time..."
"Alright, I don't want to know what kind of scrap metal you have prepared. Anyway, you are not allowed to go up later." Chen Wenchao smiled coldly and turned around to leave.
"How can she be like this?" Qin Yulian was angry and angry. How unfair was the old lady?
Sigh!
Chen Qiang sighed and said, "Mom doesn't want us to go up and present gifts, so let's not go."
Over the past twenty years, he had long gotten used to it.
He knew that his mother didn't like him, and in her eyes, only her big brother.
"Mom, give me the bracelet." Xiao Tian said.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Chen Mengyao stared at Xiao Tian. "Don't do anything stupid."
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Today is grandma's birthday. Why would I do anything stupid?"
"Mom, give me the bracelet."
"Take it." Qin Yulian's interest was also waning. She originally thought that she could take advantage of the old lady's birthday to give face to their parents. Now that the old lady directly did not let them go up to offer gifts, this bracelet was completely meaningless.
Receiving the gift box, Xiao Tian pulled Chen Mengyao's hand and walked out.
Chen Mengyao was shocked, "Uncle, where are you taking me to..."
"Of course it's a gift!"
At this time, Chen Qian held a gift box and went forward to give a gift. The emcee loudly sang, "Chen Qian, a jade necklace worth fifty thousand yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qian went forward, "Aunt, I wish you a happy life and a boundless lifespan."
"Good, good, good, good!"
Old Madam Chen pulled Chen Qian's hand and said in satisfaction, "Aunt did not dote on you for nothing."
Chen Qian could not contain her joy. "As long as Aunt likes it, Qian Qian will be happy no matter how much money she spends."
These words made the Matriarch overjoyed.
However, when she saw Xiao Tian and Chen Mengyao walking up, the smile on her face instantly froze.
What was going on?
Didn't she ask Chen Wenchao to tell them that there was no need to come up and offer gifts?
Chen Wenchao, who was standing at the side, was also shocked. He quickly stepped forward to stop them. "What are you two doing up here? Hurry up and go down!"
"Get down? Why do you want to go down?"
Xiao Tian said lightly, "All of you can give gifts, but why can't we? Aren't we from the Chen family?"
"You don't understand human language, do you?"
Chen Wenchao said angrily, "Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? Do you think you can do whatever you want?"
"Get out of the way!"
"I won't let you. Do it if you have the ability..."
Slap!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian slapped him.
However, his speed was too fast, so no one in the surrounding could clearly see how he attacked.
They only saw Chen Wenchao scream and fall to the side.
"Cousin!"
Chen Qian quickly went over to support Chen Wenchao and asked with a pained expression, "How did you fall? Did it hurt?"
"I... I..."
Half of Chen Wenchao's face had become numb, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"What do you want to say?"
Chen Wenchao pointed at his own face.
"Ah, did you fall on your face just now?" Chen Qian quickly used her hands to rub his face and said, "Cousin, why are you so careless? It's good that you didn't break it, or else you would have broken it."
The surrounding people did not understand what was going on and really thought that Chen Wenchao's feet had fallen on his face.
The Matriarch at the main seat also had a worried look. "Qian Qian, are you alright?"
"Aunt, I'm fine. Cousin accidentally fell on his face."
"I see!" The old lady heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Mengyao, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded. She had heard a loud slap just now. She had thought that Xiao Tian had made a move again.
But Xiao Tian had a confused look on his face. Only then did she know that she had misunderstood.
Could it be that he really did wrestle with her?
Could it be that she had misheard him just now?
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Yong walked over and said, "You can twist your legs when walking. Isn't this a joke?"
Chen Wenchao's head buzzed. He was extremely aggrieved in his heart.
He had been slapped, and in the end, everyone thought that he was the one who had fallen.
However, he couldn't say it out loud.
If he told others that he had just been beaten up by a son-in-law, what would the others think of him?
He would definitely become a laughingstock.
"Cousin..."
"You stupid woman, get lost." Chen Wenchao pushed Chen Qian away and looked at Xiao Tian fiercely.
Chen Qian was pushed to the ground, caught off guard. Her legs were separated, and the spring light instantly leaked out.
"Cousin, you actually scolded me!" Chen Qian felt very hurt. She went to help him out of good intentions and did not thank herself. She even scolded her. What made her the most sad was that he actually pushed her.
At this time, Xiao Tian pulled Chen Mengyao forward and gave the gift box in his hand to the host.
The emcee loudly sang, "Chen Mengyao, a gold inlaid jade bracelet worth 8,888 yuan."
As he spoke, the emcee opened the box, and a shiny golden bracelet appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
What?
Value of 88,888?
Wasn't this too auspicious?
And this bracelet was too beautiful. If Old Madam Chen wore this bracelet on her hand, it would definitely be extremely expensive.
Although eighty thousand was not much, it was still a good gift.
After all, this was only a gift from the younger generation of Chen family. It was already very good to have such a good gift.
Chen Yong and Chen Wenchao were stunned. Even Chen Qian, who was sitting on the ground, had a face full of disbelief.
Old Madam Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, also looked at the host with a surprised expression.
The people from the Chen family were even more confused as they looked at the emcee's hand. It was the shining golden bracelet.
This... How is this possible?
