Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Completely Overwhelmed in Both Momentum and Demeanor
The mood was somewhat awkward for a moment. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI~Fire.net
“Alright, alright, Chi Yan, hurry up and open your gift! We’re all eagerly waiting to see!” Kong Wen smoothed things over.
Chi Yan pursed her lips and opened the box.
Instantly, everyone in the room, including Mr. Liu, curiously peered into the box.
Upon seeing the emerald green and translucent top-grade Jade Bracelet laid on the white velvet, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“This, this…” Jiang Nuan was so shocked she almost couldn’t speak, “Yanyan, Old Sir Su is treating you like his granddaughter-in-law! To think he had someone send such an expensive piece of jewelry…”
Chi Yan was also somewhat startled.
Even though the Chi Family was considered a top-class, wealthy household in Nancheng, it was after all just a small city; a flawless Jade Bracelet was beyond their reach.
Collecting herself, she bowed her head and shyly smiled, concealing the joy in her heart, trying to appear nonchalant, “Don’t talk nonsense… Old Sir Su probably sent it just out of politeness…”
Jiang Nuan interrupted her with a smile, “Come on, who would send such an expensive gift just out of politeness! Yanyan, once you become the Su Family’s daughter-in-law, you can walk with your head high in the Capital City!”
Chi Yan smiled slightly but said nothing.
Liu Yawei, as a teacher, deemed it inappropriate to join the conversation and reminded them to rest early before leaving.
The female teacher stayed a while longer, praising Chi Yan, before she too left.
Chi Yan carefully covered the box again, and walked with Kong Wen and Jiang Nuan toward the elevator.
“Right, didn’t Chi Gui mention earlier that she received a gift too? Let’s go see what she got,” Jiang Nuan chuckled, “She’s also a daughter of the Chi Family. Since Old Sir Su gave you such a precious item, Yanyan, what he sent her must also be costly!”
The sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable.
Kong Wen frowned, “Let’s not, it’s late, we should be resting.”
“Yes! We should rest,” agreed Chi Yan.
How could Old Sir Su possibly send a gift to Chi Gui? One could guess they were just cheap items sent by her poor friends.
Chi Yan was completely uninterested.
Having spoken, Chi Yan left no room for Jiang Nuan to argue.
Chi Gui stepped out of the elevator to see a young man in a suit respectfully waiting at the door, carefully holding a box in his hands.
Upon seeing Chi Gui, he immediately bowed respectfully, “Miss Chi, good evening.”
“Good evening.” Chi Gui approached, glanced at the box and took it, “Thank you for your efforts.”
“It’s my honor to serve you,” the man smiled, “This is a gift carefully selected by Mr. Fu. I hope you like it.”
Chi Gui slightly raised her eyebrows but said nothing, opened the door, and walked in with the gift box.
Su Niannian, Chu Jia, and Yi Rui stood frozen on the spot, looking at the man at the door, not daring to move forward one step.
It was inevitable—the man, despite his utter respect towards Chi Gui, emitted such a strong presence that they… didn’t dare move.
“Niannian, do you feel… comparing the Su Family’s butler with this man…” Chu Jia spoke softly, pausing before finding the right word, “This ‘big shot’, whether in terms of presence or demeanor, he just completely overshadows him?”
