Chapter 717

In the spacious hall of the Chu family, Jin Xiuying sat there with a gloomy face and could not see any happy look.

Chu xuanyue walked into the hall and changed her look several times after seeing Jin Xiuying. Although this person is her biological mother, she has brought her much more pain than happiness for many years. She hesitated repeatedly and finally walked over and said, "Mom, I'm back."

Different from the ordinary mother daughter relationship, seeing her daughter who has been away for more than 20 years, the old lady did not have any joy after meeting. On the contrary, a strong color of disgust flashed on her face.

Facing Chu xuanyue's greetings, she just snorted in her nostrils, then turned her head and kept fiddling with the rosary beads in her hand.

Qin Haodong had heard his mother mention this grandmother's ruthlessness many times before. Today, he saw it with his own eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Chu xuanyue originally wanted Qin Haodong to say hello and say hello to the old lady with his daughter-in-law, but seeing her attitude, she immediately gave up the idea.

Since someone else gave a cold ass, there's no need to rush to paste it with a hot face.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in embarrassment, Chu Xuanli hurriedly said, "now that my little sister is back, please sit down, sit down."

Fortunately, due to Chu Shanhe's firm attitude, the rest of the Chu family are quite enthusiastic about Chu xuanyue, at least on the surface. After sitting down, they immediately surrounded some cousins and cousins, and yingyingyanyan kept talking.

Chu xuanyue and her daughters-in-law mingled with the family members of the Chu family. They greeted each other one after another, chatted about their daily life, and looked lively, but Qin Haodong was cold and clear, and Chu Mingli was the only one sitting here with him.

The younger generation of the Chu family, led by Chu Mingcong, still resisted Qin Haodong's return very much. Seeing this scene, they secretly sneered at me. I can't provoke you, but I ignored you. I see whether you are embarrassed, embarrassed or not.

Qin Haodong is no longer happy, leisurely drinking tea and eating dessert melon seeds. In his opinion, it's best for these people not to come and save a lot of trouble.

With the passage of time, more and more guests came to the Chu family to celebrate their birthday. Chu Mingli also got up and entertained the guests with Chu Xuanli. Qin Haodong was the only one left in front of such a large table.

Chu Mingcong flashed a sneer on his face. "Aren't you a cow? Aren't you good at martial arts? I don't need violence. I can kill you."

Just then, the master of ceremonies at the door shouted, "Han Wuji, the master of the Han family, is here."

Hearing this clear cry, all the people present were slightly stunned. In the past, the heads of seven aristocratic families like them celebrated their birthday, and other aristocratic families sent a second-generation son to celebrate their birthday. There were few cases where the head of the family came in person. I didn't expect Han Wuji to come in person today.

After being slightly stunned, Chu xuanming immediately welcomed Han Wuji into the hall.

Surrounded by many people, Han Wuji walked into the hall and said to Chu Shanhe, who was sitting in the chief: "Chu master, I wish you a long life."

The other party is also the head of the family. Chu Shanhe didn't dare to hold it up at all. He stood up and said, "master Han, the old man is just having a birthday. It's a great honor for you to kiss him!"

Han Wuji simply said hello and looked around in the crowd.

Chu xuanming hurried forward and said, "master Han, please take a seat in the VIP seat here."

As Han Wuji, he is definitely one of the highest rated greeting guests. It is reasonable to sit in the VIP seat.

But he didn't pay any attention to Chu xuanming next to him. In the eyes of many people, he strode towards the ordinary seat next to him.

Seeing Qin Haodong sitting here alone, the crafty man immediately saw the meaning contained in it and couldn't help but be happy. Although Qin Haodong came to the Chu family, the relationship between them was not harmonious.

This is definitely good news for other aristocratic families. If the Chu family has the strong support of the Tang clan, what else can they do.

The reason why I personally came to chushanhe to celebrate my birthday today is to narrow the relationship with Qin Haodong. It seems that this strategy can't be more correct.

"Mr. Qin, old man, do I have the honor to sit with you?"

Qin Haodong looked up at Han Wuji. Anyway, this is also Han Jieyu's grandfather. Moreover, the old man has always been good. He nodded, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "sit down!"

When Qin Haodong agreed, Han Wuji sat beside him with a happy face.

Chu Shanhe sat on the throne and couldn't help but be annoyed to see all this. The descendants of the Chu family really TMD are straw bags. They tried their best to invite Qin Haodong, but they couldn't see the importance of the overlord of the imperial capital.

If the younger generation of the Chu family gathered around Qin Haodong at this time, I'm afraid Han Wuji can't drive people away, but now it's cheap for others.

At this time, Qi Guofan, the head of the Qi family, and Zhao cangqiong, the head of the Zhao family, came one after another. After a simple hello, the two old men ran to Qin Haodong and sat down.

The time was not long. The heads of the seven aristocratic families in the imperial capital gathered together, but the other six people gathered around Qin Haodong. The stars and the moon spoke around him, and Qin Haodong just responded.

At this time, even if the Chu family is stupid, they can see that the purpose of these six families is not to celebrate their birthday, but to please Qin Haodong.

Chu Shanhe's face was livid. He tried his best to let Chu xuanyue's mother and son return in order to prove his relationship with Tang clan to other aristocratic families.

The result is good. These old foxes can see that the relationship between the Chu family and the Tang clan is not so harmonious. All previous efforts have been wasted.

But there was no way. After all, it was a birthday party. There were so many guests. He had to endure it and teach these ignorant descendants a lesson after the birthday party.

Chu Mingcong's pride on his face has disappeared. Originally, he wanted to see Qin Haodong embarrassed and humiliated, but now, the heads of the six aristocratic families are surrounded by the stars and the moon. This is no shame. It's just a kind of show off.

With the arrival of the guests, it was almost time. Next, it was time for the younger generation to offer birthday gifts to the old man. The master of ceremonies shouted: "next, please give gifts to the filial sons and grandchildren of the Chu family."

According to the order of offering gifts, the eldest son should be the first. Chu Xuanli was also prepared. Holding a red gift box in his hand, he said, "father, today is your birthday. Here I wish you a happy old man like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan."

The family standing next to him immediately came forward and took the gift box in his hand. At this time, Chu xuanming standing next to him said, "brother, should we show our gifts to our father in public and let the guests see our filial piety as children."

Chu Xuanli hesitated and said, "well, I'll laugh at you."

Then he stretched out his hand and opened the gift box, which was impressively a jade Buddha.

The Jade Buddha is about 20 cm high. It is made of superior lanolin jade. It looks crystal clear. At first glance, it is a good thing.

After seeing the Jade Buddha, the surrounding guests immediately began to talk.

"In the end, it's the Chu family. The gift from their son is a jade Buddha. It's really extraordinary!"

"In my opinion, this jade Buddha is worth at least several million..."

"How is it possible that such a large lanolin Jade Buddha should be at least more than ten million..."

Chu Shanhe also nodded with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with his son's gift.

After the display, the family put the Jade Buddha away. It was the turn of the second Chu xuanming to give a gift. Everyone looked at it with interest. They didn't know what gift he had prepared for the old man.

"Lift it up."

Chu Xuanli waved his hand behind him. Chu Mingcong immediately came up with his two families carrying a huge gift box. It seemed quite heavy.

In the puzzled eyes of the people, Chu xuanming opened the gift box and saw that there was also a jade Buddha inside. However, this jade Buddha was about 50 cm high. It was much better than Chu xuanming in terms of material and size.

The guests burst into an uproar: "God, how much is such a big jade Buddha..."

"It's still the second young master who is generous. Let alone the craft of the Jade Buddha. Such a large piece of jade is worth more than 100 million."

"The Jade Buddha is so beautiful. It's definitely a good thing to see..."

Hearing the praise from the crowd, Chu xuanming said triumphantly, "father, I know you're going to celebrate your 80th birthday. It took me three years to find this good jade. I invited a famous craftsman to carve this jade Buddha for you as a birthday gift, which means that the Buddha light of our Chu family will shine in the future. You'll be healthy and live a long life!"

"It's rare. The second one has a heart!"

Chushanhe's face burst into a brilliant smile, obviously very satisfied with this reason.

Chu Xuanli's face looked ugly for a moment. He was just generous, but he was not stupid. Chu xuanming chose the same gift with himself and offered to show it publicly. It was obvious that he wanted to step on his feet.

Chu xuanming turned his head and said proudly, "brother, I'm really sorry. I didn't discuss it with you before. You see, our gifts collided together."

Recently, with the improvement of Chu Xuanli's cultivation, his position in the family has become higher and higher, which obviously compares him to him.

Today's gift was carefully planned by him. He had long heard that Chu Xuanli was preparing a jade Buddha, so he specially asked someone to make a bigger one with better material. The purpose is to compare Chu Xuanli in full view of the public.

Standing next to Chu xuanyue, she shook her head. After so many years, her second brother still likes to play tricks, even her eldest brother.

Just stepped on the eldest brother. I'm afraid the next one will be herself. Thinking of this, she turned and looked at Qin Haodong nearby: "son, have we prepared our gifts?"

Qin Haodong smiled, "don't worry, everything has me, and you won't be ashamed."

Sure enough, as soon as they finished speaking, Chu xuanming turned around, looked at Chu xuanyue with a sly smile and said, "younger sister, it's time for you to show filial piety."

Seeing the empty hands of Chu xuanyue and Qin Haodong, he pretended to be surprised and said, "little sister, today is my father's 80th birthday. Don't you even have no gifts ready?"

Chu xuanyue looked embarrassed and turned to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong gave his mother a comforting look, then took two steps forward and said to Chu xuanming, "do you mean that there is no filial piety without preparing gifts for the old man?

Does the old man value money so much and distinguish the filial piety of his children according to the size of gifts? "

"I..."

Chu xuanming wanted to improve his position in the family through his carefully prepared Jade Buddha, but now he was red faced by Qin Haodong.

If he says Qin Haodong is right, his gift will be prepared in vain. If he denies Qin Haodong's statement, it is equivalent to saying that his father is a greedy man.

At this time, Jin Xiuying, sitting next to the Chushan River, snorted coldly and said, "smart teeth. Of course, we Chus don't distinguish filial piety by gifts, but it's also a basic etiquette to give a birthday gift on the old man's birthday. If you don't prepare a gift, don't stand here and argue."
