"Ming shi tried his best to find this authentic Zheng Banqiao for me. What gift do you want?"
He wasn't the kind of person who would accept someone's kindness at will. If chui mingshi had given him an ordinary gift, he wouldn't reject it. However, chui mingshi's gift was obviously very heavy, and it was obvious that he had tried his best to find it. He couldn't take advantage of him.
If nie junao or liu chen had sent this letter, he would have accepted it without any pressure.
Chui mingshi didn't like it when he heard that the old master was going to give him a gift. He didn't like it when the old master tried so hard to distance himself from him. He was originally trying to curry favor with the old master. If the old master had given him something else, then his fawning would have no meaning at all.
"The old man is joking. Today is your birthday. This is a gift for you. How can I ask for a gift for you?"
Chui mingshi suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and a generous and decent smile appeared on his face, causing everyone around him to praise him incessantly.
"Although the chui family is only a distant relative of the old master, young master cui is a good person. At least, his filial piety towards the old master makes people envy him."
"That's right. The old master already has a very powerful grandson, no matter how powerful he is in the army, and now he has another grandson. Although he doesn't know the details, he is able to attract the eyes of the old master and the people he likes won't be too bad."
"That's right. Besides, the young master of the chui family is filial, capable, and promising. He's also very good to the old master. I used to think that the old master would accept him as his godgrandson, but who would have thought that he would accept someone else? I'm afraid that chui ming shi would not be able to bear it."
"How can you be so obedient and sensible when you're not feeling well? Either chui mingshi is really nice to the old master, or he has other intentions."
"If he really has other intentions, I'm afraid that it would be good for the old master to ignore him."
Although the people around them were especially quiet when discussing this topic, cui mingshi still listened to them.
At first, he was very happy to hear his comments, but when he got to the end, the comments became more and more strange, and the last words made his face darken.
Anyone would feel awkward if their thoughts were spoken without mercy.
Although those people spoke in a low voice, he could hear them all. He was afraid that old master would also be able to hear them. If old master knew that he had ulterior motives, his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Old master, who is this beside you?"
Seeing that liu chen was obediently standing next to the old man, cui mingshi had no choice but to pull him out to prevent others from looking at him. He believed that everyone would be more curious about this person than him.
Sure enough, when they heard his words, the discussion around them stopped and they turned to look at the old man, all wanting to know liu chen's identity.
Liu chen frowned slightly when he saw that he was pointing the blame at him.
He was not worried about himself, but worried that the old man's reputation would be tarnished.
"Grandfather, I..."
Liu chen felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have rushed over to visit his grandfather. At least, he didn't come today. Although it was a surprise to his grandfather, it would also bring him a negative impact.
Elder tang didn't like what chui mingshi did either. She didn't like him at all, but now she didn't like him anymore. This chui ming shi was indeed something good, and he was actually targeting his grandson for his own sake.
He patted liu chen's hand and said, "Xiao chen, don't worry. With grandpa around, who dares to spout nonsense? I will help you beat him up so that his parents won't even know him."
As expected, the old man was still as protective as ever. When he heard his words, he shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything else.
However, chui mingshi felt that the old man had said this to him on purpose, and he had a bad premonition that he might pay for all his hard work over the years.
She regretted that she had spoken so quickly, but it was useless to regret now. She could only see what she could do to save her image in the old man's heart.
"Grandfather, I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about you."
Liu chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had also heard the discussions from those people earlier, so he finally understood why chui mingshi was hostile towards him.
It seemed that he had unknowingly offended someone again, but he didn't care. Anyway, he had already offended a lot of people, so it was fine to offend one or two of them.
"Grandfather, I have a gift for you. You will definitely like it very much."
In order to prevent the situation from getting awkward, liu chen had no choice but to put his gift on the table.
Initially, he had already planned to give it to him in private, but now that chui mingshi had caused such a mess, he could only use it to distract everyone.
"Sure, I wonder what xiao chen prepared for me."
He was clear about liu chen's conditions, so no matter what kind of gift he prepared for him, he would like it. After all, it was something his grandson gave him, so it was better than anyone else's.
As for liu chen's gift, not only the master was curious, but everyone present was also curious. Cui mingshi was even more curious.
The only one who wasn't curious was liu yuqiang and fu heng, because they knew what liu chen was going to give them.
"Master, you have to be mentally prepared. Xiao chen's gift is ten million yuan?"
Liu yuqiang also knew that liu chen was trying to ease the atmosphere and opened his mouth.
However, he deliberately made liu chen's gift sound tacky, just to let others know that liu chen was not a poor person, so that everyone present could not treat liu chen as a poor person.
Hearing that liu chen could take out ten million yuan in one move, everyone was quite surprised. Even old master and nie yunhao were surprised because they were the people who knew liu chen's background best.
"Xiao chen, where did you get ten million yuan to buy a gift?"
The old man had obviously forgotten what liu chen had told him and subconsciously thought that liu chen was that poor kid with no money.
"Grandpa, have you forgotten? I'm one of the shareholders of the first grade pharmaceutical industry, and I have 10 % of the shares. My monthly salary is not low." Liu chen wanted to laugh, but his grandfather was too forgetful.
