Tian Hao looked disdainful, and looked down on Zhou Lie from the bottom of his heart. He thought to himself: "It turns out that he is just a poor idiot. How can he show his shame by showing off three pieces of rotten wood? How could my cousin fall in love with such a poor man?"

"Uncle Han, Auntie, these two pieces are for you. Miss, this piece is for you."

Zhou Lie gave three wooden plaques to Han Shixun, Tian and Han Lingshi respectively.

In fact, after he learned that Han Shixun's birthday had passed, he also worried about the gift.

He felt that Han Shixun was not short of money, and it seemed too vulgar to give him gold, silver, and jewelry, so he made three temporary amulets.

These three amulets were refined by him according to the secret method of the Dragon Clan. In addition to having the magical effect of nourishing the body and prolonging life, if the person carrying them is in danger, he can immediately sense it no matter how far away it is and go to the rescue as soon as possible.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the personal protection of Wu Anbo, these three amulets can be regarded as treasures that are hard to find.

"Zhou Lie, you are interested."

Han Lingshi accepted it with a face full of joy. There was a red rope hanging on the wooden sign, which she brought around her graceful neck on the spot.

It was originally an ordinary piece of wood, but when she carried it, it actually looked noble. It must be said that human beauty can also make items precious.

Han Lingshi also knew that Zhou Lie was short of money and had little money. At the same time, she was not the kind of person who was greedy for money, so she didn't care about the cheapness of the wooden sign.

The most important thing is that this is the first time Zhou Lie has given her a gift, which makes her feel particularly sweet.

"Zhou Lie, your carving skills are pretty good. You can call them master-level."

Han Shixun looked at the wooden sign and saw a lifelike depiction of a divine dragon, with teeth and claws showing, as if it was about to come to life, and he couldn't help but praise it.

He is a businessman and naturally has seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so he doesn't value gifts or anything like that. As long as Zhou Lie has this filial piety, he will be satisfied.

Both father and daughter happily accepted the wooden sign, but when they arrived at Tian's place, something unexpected happened.

Snapped!

Tian's face was solemn, and he threw the wooden sign on the ground as if throwing away garbage.

She was holding back anger in her heart. All the people who came to pay homage to her birthday gave either jewelry or gold and silver. Zhou Lie was the only one who sent three pieces of rotten wood and even said that they were amulets. The Han family's face was completely ruined by him. Lost everything.

Zhou Lie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Tian throwing the wooden sign on the ground.

For Han Shixun's sake, he specially carved an extra piece and gave it to Tian. Now it seems that he is being sentimental.

"Madam, this is Zhou Lie's intention after all. How can you just throw it away?"

Han Shixun's face darkened and he shouted.

"What kind of intention does he have?"

Tian's face was filled with anger and he scolded: "I won't talk about the adults, just the juniors. Hao'er sent a golden phoenix hairpin, Shihao sent a jade abacus, Yu Ruo sent a gold bracelet, Miao Miss Xue brought a pair of golden bowls and chopsticks, but he only sent three pieces of rotten wood. This is because he sincerely wants to make fun of our Han family."

"That's right, this is the first time I've heard that rotten wood can keep people safe. This guy is a charlatan at first glance."

Tian Hao saw the opportunity and hurriedly fanned the flames.

Duan Shihao and Song Miaoxue laughed and said nothing, secretly despising Zhou Lie in their hearts.

If you give a gift, you should come up with something decent. Isn't it embarrassing to give three pieces of rotten wood?

"Cousin, you should also throw away that piece of rotten wood. It is not worthy of your status at all. Since you like amulets, I will give you this one."

Tian Hao smiled slightly, took off a crystal clear jade pendant from his neck, and handed it to Han Lingshi.

"Listen to your cousin and throw away that piece of rotten wood quickly."

Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant, knowing that it was valuable. As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull off the wooden plaque on Han Lingshi's body.

"do not want!"

Han Lingshi shook her head and stepped back, avoiding Tian's palm.

Although the wooden sign that Zhou Lie gave her was cheap, she felt a sense of comfort just after taking it with her, and the headaches she often had before disappeared.

The most important thing is that this wooden sign was Zhou Lie's first gift to her, and it was of great significance.

"Lingshi, that's just a piece of rotten wood. Why are you carrying it?"

Mrs. Tian looked surprised. She didn't know why her daughter had a special liking for a piece of wood.

Tian Hao's face suddenly turned livid. He really couldn't understand why his cousin would rather take a piece of rotten wood than accept his expensive jade pendant.

Zhou Lie also looked slightly startled. He didn't expect Han Lingshi to be so persistent.

Moreover, he recently discovered that Han Lingshi's attitude towards him has changed a lot. In the past, he was cold, but recently he has become extremely enthusiastic.

Not only did she personally embroider his purse, but she also thoughtfully served him tea and water just now. Now she would rather bring a cheap wooden sign than the precious jade pendant presented by Tian Hao.

Zhou Lie is not a fool. He finally woke up. Could it be that Han Lingshi fell in love with him?

"Unfortunately, I am now focused on pursuing martial arts, and I don't have much interest in the love between my children."

Zhou Lie shook his head secretly. He didn't have much feelings for Han Lingshi, and he was even disgusted by what she did before.

In addition, when he was in Yanjing City, he was betrayed by Chun'er, so he was instinctively wary of all women, and since he had not avenged his revenge, he was really not in the mood for romance.

Time passed by, and at noon, the birthday banquet was over.

The guests stood up one after another to say goodbye to Han Shixun, and dispersed one after another.

Zhou Lie also felt that he was not interested, so he took advantage of Han Shixun, Tian Shi, and Han Lingshi to see off the guests and found an opportunity to leave quietly.

Lu Yao deliberately left late. When no one was paying attention, she picked up the wooden sign Tian dropped on the ground, gently wiped off the dirt on it, and kept it in her arms like a treasure.

"The stupid woman actually threw the treasure given by Wu Anbo on the ground. What a waste of nature."

Lu Yao laughed secretly in her heart. Everyone sneered at Zhou Lie, but she believed Zhou Lie's words deeply.

How could the famous Wu Anbo be a charlatan?

Since he personally admitted that the wooden sign could keep him safe, he would definitely be able to keep him safe. If she picked up this amulet, it would be like saving her life.

After leaving the Han family, Zhou Lie walked along a main road in the direction of Wu Anbo Mansion.

"Zhou Lie, wait a moment."

At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind him. Without turning around, he already knew who it was and what it was about.

Sure enough, Han Lingshi caught up quickly and said apologetically: "Don't take my mother's words to heart. Apart from being greedy for money, she actually has a good heart."
