“Why should I apologize?” Yang Ting was about to cry. “It’s clearly Wen Nian…” “Shut up!” Zhang Fang gritted her teeth and threatened.
However, she couldn’t take it lying down after bowing in front of so many people and being scolded by Jin Ting. Hence, she raised her voice and said, “It was Wen Nian’s fault in the first place. Who knows what method she used to become Shen Jun’s girlfriend? Moreover, the Jin family is on her side. She’s the reincarnation of a vixen!”
Slap! Zhang Fang slapped her across the face. “Shut up.”
This slap was very loud. Some of the men who had not been paying attention looked over.
Something had happened to the Yang family’s business overseas, and Yang Ting’s father had yet to return. This time, Zhang Fang was looking for Old Mr. Shen’s help. She could not make a mistake at this time.
However, Yang Ting could not understand at all. She only felt that the entire world was helping Wen Nian. “She’s a b*tch to begin with. Look at her pendant. What money can she have? It doesn’t look like it was given by Shen Jun, right? Perhaps it was given by some wild man!”
“Aiyo, I’m already so old, yet I’m still called a wild man. I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it.” Shen Wei’s voice sounded from the second floor, and this sentence frightened Yang Ting.
No one at the scene dared to speak. Even the waiters stopped moving.
Shen Wei and Shen Mo went downstairs together. He smiled at Wen Nian and nodded. “This pendant is indeed beautiful. Didn’t I say that it suits you? The Ji family’s girl is also wearing a beautifully designed dress. As expected of an international designer.”
Everyone understood what Old Mr. Shen meant.
The Old Master, who had the most say in the Shen family, took the initiative to give Wen Nian a pendant worth millions. It looked like nothing, but it was actually recognition of Wen Nian.
Moreover, the Jin family and the Shen family had a close relationship for the past two years. Ji Xiang had designed clothes for Wen Nian, and Jin Ting was so protective of her… Everyone present understood that Shen Jun wasn’t the only one who liked Wen Nian.
Yang Ting was so shocked that she did not know what to say. Zhang Fang kept apologizing, but Old Mr. Shen only smiled and did not say anything to them. “Alright, there’s no need for so much etiquette on this old man’s birthday. Let’s start quickly. I think everyone is hungry.” Shen Wei was still talking with a smile, but Zhang Fang felt cold sweat on her back. She knew that this matter was probably going to blow up.
Shen Mo also quickly instructed someone to start the birthday banquet. In fact, this kind of banquet looked grand, but the purpose was very simple. Everyone was here to curry favor with the Shen family and also to make new partners. When Shen Jun brought Wen Nian forward, Shen Wei waved his hand to stop the people beside him from continuing.
Wen Nian stepped forward nervously and took out the box from her bag. “Grandpa, I wish you a happy and healthy life. This is a gift from me. I hope you like it.”
Seeing that the box was not exquisite and was even a little small, many women beside her revealed disdain in their eyes. Jiang Chun also pursed her lips. She knew that even if Wen Nian earned money, she did not have a powerful background and would definitely not be able to take out anything good.
However, Shen Wei still took the box happily. After opening it, he took out a prayer bead. His face was filled with surprise. “Did Nian Nian specially ask for this for Grandpa? Good stuff, good stuff!”
Wen Nian nodded in embarrassment. “I know you don’t lack anything, so I went to the Xuanhuan Temple to ask for prayer beads. I hope I can bless you with peace and prosperity.”
When they saw that Wen Nian had given him prayer beads, although many people did not say anything, they felt a little disdainful. Although they said that it was the thought that count, wasn’t this gift too worthless?
Someone whispered, “Isn’t this too insincere? Was it 500 yuan or a thousand yuan?”
After a few seconds of silence, they heard whispers and laughter.
“500 yuan in exchange for a pendant worth millions of yuan. What a profit!” “Could it be that Old Mr. Shen is also bewitched by her? What kind of thought is this? A string of prayer beads from Xuanhuan Temple costs 30 yuan, right?” “I think it looks like red sandalwood. It should be a few thousand yuan, right?” “Using something small in exchange for something bigger, she’s indeed a smart person, huh?”
Hearing the whispers beside him, Old Mr. Shen knocked on the table beside him. “I like this gift very much. You’ve put in a lot of effort. Some people can say whatever they want.. No one has to care what the future granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family does!”
