Ou Jinghuan seemed worried that the Ou family butler might accidentally damage the gift for Ou Hongxin, and spoke up to remind him.

But those who knew that Butler Sang Hai was always impeccable in his work knew that Ou Jinghuan was speaking up for his girlfriend.

As expected, Ou Jinghuan's words surprised many of the powerful and wealthy families present.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief; they couldn't believe that Li Chuyue would be even more generous than they were.

Some powerful and influential figures learned that Li Chuyue was not from a wealthy and influential family, but was merely the vice president of Honglan Group.

They also felt somewhat disdainful, believing that Ou Jinghuan and Li Chuyue were not a good match and that their relationship would definitely not work out.

But they learned that Li Chuyue had given Ou Hongxin a birthday gift worth tens of millions, which was more extravagant than anything they had ever done.

This was a direct slap in the face to their arrogant attitude. They realized that regardless of whether Ou Jinghuan's words were true or false, Li Chuyue could not be underestimated.

At this moment, the surrounding discussions were even more heated than when Ou Jinghuan brought Li Chuyue out earlier.

The Ou family members were also shocked by Ou Jinghuan's words. Ou Dechu, who had just looked down on Li Chuyue, put away his angry expression.

Ou Dechu was surprised to find that Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend was even richer than him, which made him, who originally wanted to find fault, fall into deep thought.

Luo Yajie was startled at first, but when she saw that Ou Dechu was even more stunned than she was, she frowned in displeasure.

Then, she tugged at Oldeuk's suit sleeve, feigning anger on his behalf, and whispered:

"Jinghuan wanted to help his girlfriend please his father, but he can't lie to him like this!"

Sigh... He'd rather spend millions to give his girlfriend a good reputation at her birthday banquet than lend money to you, his own father!

If Dad hadn't seen that he disagreed, why wouldn't he have helped you return to Hongxin Group!

He's having fun with his girlfriend, completely disregarding you, his father! This...this is practically trying to ruin your life!

Upon hearing this, Ou Dechu, who had just calmed down, suddenly became furious again, his anger reignited by Luo Yajie.

His gaze towards Li Chuyue was even more dissatisfied; he disliked her even more than before.

On the other side, Ye Yingran, who had been pushed aside by Xu Zhishan, stood next to Ou Dehui.

They had originally wanted to outdo Ou Jinghuan in giving a birthday gift, but now they learned that Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend had given them a gift of the same value.

This made them, who had been so confident of victory, suddenly feel that they had... fallen into a disadvantage once again.

At this moment, Ye Yingran noticed that Ou Dehui's expression was not good, and she whispered to comfort him:

Even if they buy gifts worth tens of millions, none of them can compare to the gifts we give to Dad that truly touch his heart!

Ou Jinghuan wanted to give his girlfriend a good reputation, so he decided to give it to them, since not many people would think that it was his girlfriend who spent the money herself.

But Dad's favorite gift is the one we give him; that's the most important!

Upon hearing this, Ou Dehui nodded in agreement, and his expression softened somewhat.

Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi, on the other hand, looked on with grim expressions, filled with jealousy as they watched Li Chuyue steal the spotlight.

At this moment, Xu Zhishan was also stunned. She and Li Chuyue had gone to buy the birthday gift together, and she already knew the price of the gift.

But she always thought Li Chuyue bought it for her cousin, so even though she was initially surprised by the expensive gift, she wasn't surprised at all.

But she never expected that Li Chuyue was using her own money, which surprised her greatly.

Xu Zhishan made no attempt to hide her shock, hugging Li Chuyue's arm tightly as she asked:

"Really? Chu Yue, you...you're the rich woman!"

Li Chuyue felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ou Jinghuan's words.

She tugged at Ou Jinghuan's hand, telling him not to say that.

But Ou Jinghuan had already said it, and he looked at Li Chuyue with a smile, clearly having no intention of taking back what he had said.

At this moment, Li Chuyue heard Xu Zhishan's question, and she became even more embarrassed, quickly explaining in a low voice:

Yes and no...

Your brother initially gave me his card to buy birthday gifts, but I later bought them with my own money, however...

Your brother later very firmly returned the money to me, saying that using his money was the same as not using any money at all.

So… I didn’t actually spend any money, but I don’t know why he suddenly said that.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhishan felt it made sense. She smiled and looked at Ou Jinghuan, who was somewhat stubborn but whose face was full of joy, and whispered:

"It's good that he doesn't let you spend money; otherwise, how could he be that domineering and extravagant CEO?"

He said it was you who bought it, so it was you who bought it. Anyway, his money will be yours, so there's no need to feel embarrassed!

But... since my cousin's money is yours, and we're such good friends, could you... maybe give me a little more pocket money later?

After listening to what Xu Zhishan said, Li Chuyue looked at the problem from a different perspective, and she did feel a little better.

Xu Zhishan's sneaky look when asking for pocket money made her laugh, and she nodded helplessly in agreement.

At this moment, seeing that Li Chuyue had accepted, Ou Jinghuan immediately pulled Li Chuyue to Ou Hongxin's side.

Xu Zhishan, as if she were a sugar glider, immediately followed Li Chuyue forward and revealed to Ou Hongxin:

"Grandpa Ou, this gift was bought by Chu Yue herself. I went with her, which proves that Chu Yue bought it with her own card!"

Chu Yue was worried that I wouldn't be able to buy what I liked, so she dragged me straight to the store, but I was exhausted by then!

Later, Chuyue and I saw something and were both surprised. I'm sure you'll love it when you see it!

Upon hearing this, Ou Hongxin smiled even more broadly. He looked up at Li Chuyue and said softly:

"Then help me open it and let me see what kind of wonderful treasure this is that has exhausted you all."

As soon as Ou Hongxin finished speaking, all the members of the Ou family present showed surprised expressions, and their eyes all turned to Li Chuyue.

Xu Zhishan became excited when she heard Grandpa Ou ask Li Chuyue to open the gift.

Li Chuyue noticed the strange looks she received from the people around her, and Xu Zhishan's sudden excitement.

Even Ou Jinghuan smiled, which puzzled her.

Seeing this, Xu Zhishan immediately whispered in Li Chuyue's ear:

"Generally, only members of the Ou family whom Grandpa Ou approves of will be asked by Grandpa Ou to open the gifts!"

Grandpa Ou likes you! Go open the gift box!

Upon hearing this, Li Chuyue looked up at Ou Jinghuan, who nodded slightly, giving her an encouraging look.

Finally, Li Chuyue moved a little closer to Ou Hongxin and politely nodded to him.

Then, dressed in a form-fitting dress, she slowly bent down, her hands and feet moving calmly and gracefully, to open the gift for Ou Hongxin.

As Li Chuyue opened the gift box, Ye Yingran, the last person Ou Hongxin had called to open a gift box, showed a crack beneath her elegant mask.
