After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

The next day.

Grandma Tang's birthday banquet.

The Tang family was brightly decorated and filled with joy.

People come and go, and guests feel right at home.

Tang Zhenchuan stood at the door, warmly welcoming them.

"Thank you all for coming and supporting us by taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Old Madam's birthday celebration."

"Please enjoy yourselves and have a good time. If there is anything that is not well done in our hospitality, please forgive us."

With Tang Zhenchuan's hospitality, the Tang family soon filled the room with distinguished guests.

Besides some distant relatives of the Tang family, many members of wealthy families in Guicheng also came to offer their birthday wishes.

Although the Tang family is only a third-rate family, their recent rise to prominence is the most remarkable in Guicheng.

The collaboration with the Lan family and the investment from the Qiangsheng Group.

Everything seemed to prove that the Tang family was about to rise as a new star.

Old Madam Tang was also beaming, smiling from ear to ear.

Since she fell ill and was bedridden, the Tang family has faced frequent crises, nearly destroyed, and barely surviving.

During this period, countless families that had previously been on good terms with the Tang family severed ties with them.

But at this moment, the Tang family reversed its decline and returned to glory, shocking all the wealthy families in Guicheng, who all wanted to befriend them.

Old Madam Tang knew perfectly well that all of this was thanks to Chu Tian.

"The Zhang family of Guicheng presents a jade pine tree, wishing the matriarch boundless happiness and longevity."

"The Li family of Guicheng presents a pair of Tibetan jade Buddhas, wishing the old lady a long and healthy life free from misfortune."

As shouts rang out, a large number of birthday gifts were snapped up by the Tang family.

Each gift was quite valuable, worth at least 100,000 yuan.

For the Tang family, which had not yet fully risen to prominence, this was already an exceptionally generous gift.

Old Madam Tang couldn't stop smiling; she was just an ordinary person, and she also cared about her reputation.

The more and more expensive the gifts, the higher the Tang family's status.

"Mom, your son has been acting a bit irresponsibly lately and often makes you angry."

"But this time, my son made a special trip to Yunnan Province to buy an authentic work by Liu Gongquan from a renowned collector."

"I hope you can forgive and forget and not hold a grudge against your son."

After everyone had finished presenting their gifts and taken their seats, Tang Zhenchuan approached with a fawning expression and respectfully handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to Old Madam Tang.

"Mom, I wish you continued prosperity and happiness, like the evergreen pine and cypress, and may your blessings never cease."

Grandma Tang smiled broadly and nodded with satisfaction, "Zhenchuan is very thoughtful."

As he spoke, he opened the painting, revealing several lines of large characters, strong and powerful, like steel bones.

Yan Zhenqing's style is characterized by its strength and elegance.

Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is vigorous, powerful, and majestic.

It captivated the guests' attention at first glance.

"Such fine calligraphy, and it's an authentic work by Liu Gongquan, must be worth at least a million."

“Millions are too few, those are genuine pieces of public power! Tens of millions are not too many.”

"Tsk tsk! The Tang family has really prospered! I never expected Tang Zhenchuan to give the old lady such an expensive gift."

Hearing the exclamations of the surrounding guests, Old Madam Tang smiled from ear to ear and stroked the object with great affection.

"Good, good, good."

"This handwriting is really good, I like it very much, old lady."

Tang Zhenchuan smiled smugly. Recently, Tang Yurou had been so popular that he had been neglected.

Now that he has regained the old lady's favor, he will surely be able to trample Tang Yurou under his feet again.

However, Wang Guiqin's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she whispered.

"Yu Rou, where's the gift you prepared?"

"Here it is!" Tang Yurou took out the imperial green bracelet that Chu Tian had given her.

This was specially commissioned by Chu Tian yesterday and crafted overnight by a master craftsman with superb skills.

"This bracelet is..."

Wang Guiqin looked at it carefully for a moment, but couldn't figure out the specifics.

She didn't recognize Imperial Green, but judging from its crystal-clear appearance, it must be a good piece.

"Yu Rou, how much did this bracelet cost? Is it comparable to the gift your uncle gave you?"

Having been suppressed by Tang Zhenchuan's family for so many years, he naturally harbored a deep resentment.

Now that her daughter is at the peak of her career, she naturally can't let Tang Zhenchuan outshine her in this matter.

Tang Yurou shook her head and said, "This bracelet was bought by Chu Tian, ​​and I don't know how much it's worth."

"What? Chu Tian bought it?"

Wang Guiqin couldn't help but scream.

Chu Tian was just a live-in son-in-law, relying entirely on the Tang family for food and drink.

What good things can I buy?

That's it, we're done for. This time, Tang Zhenchuan and his daughter have completely caught us red-handed.

Beside Tang Zhenchuan, Tang Yufei noticed the discomposure of Wang Guiqin, looked over with a mocking gaze, and said sarcastically, "Second Aunt, we've already given out our gifts, what about yours? Could it be that you didn't prepare anything?"

Wang Guiqin panicked; she didn't believe deep down that Chu Tian could buy anything good.

But at this moment, Tang Zhenchuan's family had all given her gifts, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the offer.

"Second Aunt, let me make this clear beforehand: my sister is currently at the peak of her career. She not only secured a project worth 5 billion from the Lan Group, but also received an investment of 1 billion from the Qiangsheng Group."

"Now that my sister's net worth is almost 10 billion, it would be a bit unreasonable if the gifts you give her were too meager!"

Suddenly, Tang Yufei added, her face full of amusement.

Tang Yurou did land a big project, which is good, but the project is not yet completed and the money has not yet been extracted.

So at this moment, Tang Yurou had absolutely no money.

What are some good gifts to give if you don't have much money?

This time, I'm determined to crush Tang Yurou under my feet.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yurou's expression became somewhat unnatural.

He gripped the jade bracelet tightly in his hand.

She had anticipated this scene, but she didn't know the exact price of the bracelet.

It wasn't that she wanted to compete with others, but rather that she didn't want to be constantly suppressed by Tang Yufei.

However, since things have come to this point, there's nothing that can be done about whether the gift is good or bad; all we can do is send the gift over first.

I just hope that Chu Tian can give me another surprise!

"Wait a moment."

However, at that moment, Chu Tian suddenly grabbed Tang Yurou's hand.

Before Tang Yurou could react, she saw him looking at Tang Yufei with a teasing smile.

"You two, father and daughter, have the nerve to question the value of our gift when you're holding a fake? Huh?"

Tang Zhenchuan's expression immediately turned panicked. "Chu Tian, ​​what do you mean? You're saying that the gift you received is counterfeit?"

Tang Yufei, unaware of the truth, assumed her father's gift was genuine and gave a cold laugh.

"Chu Tian, ​​Tang Yurou, you wouldn't be trying to slander us because you think your gifts aren't presentable enough, would you?"

"But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. After all, my father gave me an authentic work by Liu Gongquan, worth millions."

"It's normal for you two poor bastards to feel inferior."
