Qu Haocheng ignored his younger brother’s pleas and calmly put the item into the rosewood box. He raised his head and said to Chen Meng’er, “Thank you for the gift. I like it very much. I will carry it with me.”
“It’s good that you like it.” How could Chen Meng’er not know the value of imperial jade on the market? However, after being reborn and having the favor of the heavens, material things didn’t matter to Chen Meng’er.
On the other hand, the guests in the banquet hall could see clearly what the pendant Qu Haocheng had taken out was made of. Those who knew the value of the pendant could tell at a glance that it was imperial jade. This imperial jade was the best of the best. Although it was sold on the market, they had to consider the price before buying it themselves.
Now, the young lady of the Green Gang did not even blink and gave away such an exquisitely carved imperial jade pendant.
These guests could not help but look in Elder Liu’s direction. In their eyes, almost all the things that Chen Meng’er owned came from Elder Liu. Now, Chen Meng’er gave away such an expensive imperial jade pendant so easily. They all wanted to see Elder Liu’s reaction.
Elder Qu shared the same thoughts as everyone else. He was worried that Elder Liu would be upset if Chen Meng’er gave such a valuable gift to his grandson, Qu Haocheng. He left Madam Qu and the others behind and walked quickly to Elder Liu’s side. “Elder Liu, Meng’er’s gift is too expensive. I’ll ask Haocheng to return it to her in a moment.”
How could Elder Liu not understand the meaning behind Elder Qu’s words? He looked at the people around him and raised his hand to stop him. “Hey, Elder Qu, this is a gift from Meng’er to Haocheng. If you interfere in this matter and ask Haocheng to return this gift to Meng’er, that girl will probably be furious.”
“But this thing is too valuable. Why don’t we get Meng’er to exchange it for another gift?” Elder Qu suggested with some difficulty.
“Elder Qu, don’t be so nosy. I know what you’re worried about. You still don’t know Meng’er that well. Do you think that I gave her that pendant? Then you’re gravely mistaken. That pendant is hers. You still don’t know, right? This pendant was carved by her herself. So, don’t worry about it. Meng’er is much richer than us,” said Elder Liu. As he saw the surprise on Elder Qu’s face, he continued, “There are a lot of things that you don’t know. Ah, it was only after I met this girl that I found out that the Green Gang that I founded was actually looked down upon by others.”
Actually, before she came, Chen Meng’er had already communicated with Elder Liu and told him that she was going to give Qu Haocheng a gift.
When Elder Qu heard Elder Liu’s words, his heart was very uneasy. He thought that most of Chen Meng’er’s achievements today were because of Elder Liu’s help. However, Elder Liu’s words just now made him know that things were not as they appeared on the surface.
Murong Qi looked at the imperial jade pendant Qu Haocheng had taken out. She was so angry. How could she not have thought that even if Chen Meng’er was not Elder Liu’s biological granddaughter, she was still the young lady of the Green Gang. She represented the face of the Green Gang. How could Elder Liu let her gift something worthless that may disgrace the Green Gang.
However, Murong Qi had never expected that Chen Meng’er would be so generous. She had actually gave Qu Haocheng an imperial jade pendant. Murong Qi had seen imperial jade before. It was her grandmother’s jade bracelet. Her grandmother treasured this bracelet very much.
