Chapter 241: A Special Gift
Translator: 549690339
Li Shengxia thought it was strange that he had forced her to drink, but she did not expect him to be so evil as to drug her with that kind of drug. Fortunately, she was smart enough.
She knew it. How could someone with such a bad attitude compromise in a second? So he wanted her to make a fool of herself in public, hmph! He deserved it!
MO Nianchen smiled faintly. He had to admit that Li Shengxiaās move was brilliant. This time, Zhao Wanrong was bound to bite the bullet and swallow the blood. He had suffered so much at the banquet, so he definitely wanted to cover it up.
However, there were so many guests present today. As long as one or two of them said itā¦His reputation was already in shambles.
Li Shengxia thought of something and said,āāBy the way, is the gift you went to get still there?ā
ā Here.ā MO Nianchen handed the bag to Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia replied uncertainly, āāHmm? Why do I feel that itās different from the original bag? Are you sure itās the one I left outside?ā
When MO Nianchen left the room, he did not see the things that Li Shengxia had thrown away, so he switched to something else at the last minute.
āJust give it to her.ā āAlright, I believe youā¦Then, are you going?ā
āIāll wait for you here.ā
āAlright.ā Li Shengxia thought about it and decided not to force him too much, so she walked toward Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. MO was delighted to see Li Shengxia.
She had seen Zhao Wanrong stirring up trouble in the crowd just now. It was all thanks to Li Shengxia that she had managed to avert the crisis. Otherwise, with Ah Chenās personality, he would definitely have fought with the other party and things would have gotten out of hand.
She was still thinking of ways to deal with the aftermath, but she did not expect Li Shengxia to avoid Zhao Wanrongās trick so easily. Mrs. MO was very pleased with her performance.
āAuntie, this is a little gift from Chen Chen and me. Itās our first time meeting, so please accept it.ā
āThank you, youāre too kind. You even brought a gift. Can I open it?āWhen Mrs. MO heard that she and MO Nianchen had chosen together, she couldnāt help but want to see what was inside.
āOf course!ā Li Shengxia smiled.
Hence, Mother MO began to unwrap the bagā¦
There was a box in the bagā¦
Li Shengxia began to feel that something was amissā¦
This, this packaging was completely different from the one she had chosen in
the store beforeā¦
Could MO Nianchen have made a mistake?
However, it was too late to stop him now.
Mother MO had already opened the packagingā¦
Stone?
It was actually a stone!
A red stoneā¦
Li Shengxiaās smile froze.
The guests who saw this scene could not help but be stunnedā¦
Who was this person? How could he give Madam MO a red stone??
Li Shengxia turned around awkwardly, trying to find out where MO Nianchen had gone, but there were so many people surrounding her that she could not see him at allā¦
Her cheeks instantly turned as red as an apple.
Some people started to discuss.
āHeavens, someone actually gave a stone as a greeting gift. This is really unheard of.ā
Someone looked at Li Shengxia in disdain.ā Anyone can get in.āā
ā Thatās right. Other people give cars, houses, and shares, but she gives a stone.
Hahaha, what a jokeā¦ā
āIām at the wrong door.ā
Naturally, Li Shengxia had heard some of it as well. Her face flushed red as she said, āUm, auntie, Iām sorry. I think⦠I think I took the wrong oneā¦ā
āA red stone? Could it be the meaning of āpure childā? Itās a very creative gift. Thank you. I like it very much.āMother MO tried to smooth things over for Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia looked at her mother gratefully.
No matter how cheap the gift was, it was more precious than anything else when the other party said that they liked it.
However, there were still people pointing at him.
Li Shengxia lowered her head in embarrassment.
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd.ā This unpolished jade looks like a gambling stone.ā āIsnāt it a stone?ā
āWhat is stone gambling?ā
āJade raw materials that are wrapped in a shell and have not been cut open are called āgambling stoneā. The outer layer of the gambling stone was wrapped in the original stone skin, which was either thin or thick. Only after cutting it open would one know what was inside. It might just be a stone or jade. As for the size and quality, itās hard to sayā¦ā
āMadam MO, why donāt you get someone to cut open this gambling stone and see whatās inside?ā
Mother MO had heard of gambling and was curious about what was inside. She got someone to cut the red stoneā¦
After cutting it, there was nothing insideā¦
Mother MO was a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was just an ordinary stone. However, the guests were in high spirits and shouted to continueā¦
Another slash, and still nothing.
Li Shengxia felt increasingly awkwardā¦
She really didnāt know why the gift had turned into a stone. It was too embarrassing!
At this moment⦠āGreen! Itās green!ā
āItās true, Iām green!ā
Mother MO couldnāt help but look at the gambling stone. She saw that the stone was emerala.
Finally, a complete stone was cut out..
āAre there any appraisers present?ā
The person who spoke was carefully tasting the emerald.
āThis piece of jade has a pure and evenly distributed color. It is extremely transparent and almost free of impurities. There are few cracks and it is old. This is the first time I have seen such a good quality jade. Itās definitely pricelessā¦ā
Everyone couldnāt help but start chatting.
He did not expect that a seemingly simple red stone would actually contain such high-quality jadeā¦
No matter how expensive a gift was, it was just a gift.
However, this gambling stone made one feel extremely lucky to have obtained it.
The feeling of turmoil in the middle was irreplaceable. Anyone could remember this special gift!
āMadam MO, youāre really lucky!ā
āYeah, Iāve only heard of stone gambling before. This is the first time Iāve seen someone bet so much!! What a feast for the eyes!ā
Mother MO was also very happy.
Li Shengxia heaved a sigh of relief. Should she consider herself lucky? Or was he lucky?
If there was nothing in this stone, she would die of embarrassment. However, he was too lucky to have such precious jade in this stoneā¦
Where did MO Nianchen get this stone from?
Someone began to praise Li Shengxia.
āThis lady is really creative! In an instant, he had surpassed everyone else.ā āThatās right. Our gifts seem too mundane.ā
Li Shengxia smiled and nodded at them to express her gratitude, but her eyes could not help but look for MO Nianchen.
At the same time, the music of the banquet started playing. After what had happened just now, the atmosphere of the venue was excellent.
The MO couple were indeed experts who had been in the business world for decades. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. They answered all the questions fluently and solved any problems with ease.
āMadam MO, the gown youāre wearing today is really unique. I wonder which master made it, especially the flower petals that are embellished..ā
