According to past rules, the first person to come forward to offer birthday gifts at this time should be his eldest son Ye Jianwen. However, at this time, Ye Jianwu's son Ye Yehao suddenly stood up and held a large gift box about 30 centimeters in size.

, walked up to the old man.

"Why is the second child so rude?"

When Liu Ya saw this, she became very angry, frowned and complained.

"Forget it, let Jianwu go first, and we'll wait."

Ye Jianwen didn't have any objections and quickly spoke out to comfort his wife.

Lu Chen and Ye Qingling looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

In the past year, the struggle for power within the Ye family has become more and more serious. Especially between Ye Jianwu and Ye Jianhui, there is a competitive relationship overtly and covertly. Everything must be done first. To please the old man like today

How could these two families miss this opportunity?

"Grandpa, today is your seventieth birthday. Seventy years are rare in your life. Your grandson has specially prepared an emerald birthday peach for you!"

Ye Zihao, who was in a neat suit, tall and tall, and handsome in appearance, slowly opened the gift box in his hand, and saw a red jade peach with a diameter of about 20 centimeters slowly appearing in front of everyone's eyes.

"Wow, this is amazing! Such a large piece of jade is worth hundreds of thousands at least!"

"If you include engraving, it would be almost over a million."

"Ye Laoer really put his money into this and came up with such a big gift."

As soon as the red jade peach appeared, it immediately aroused the exclamation of the guests present. Even Ye Qingyun couldn't help but exclaimed, but before she could finish her cry, she was abruptly stopped by her mother Liu Ya's cold eyes.

Stared back.

Seeing the reactions of everyone present, a proud smile suddenly appeared on Ye Jianwu's rich face, and he glanced at Ye Jianhui not far away. However, Ye Jianhui was smiling, with no expression on his face from beginning to end.

What a change.

"Not bad, you have worked hard."

After sizing up the jade peach, Mr. Ye nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the seat next to him and said softly: "Zihao, you can sit here next."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Hearing this, Ye Zihao hurriedly bent down and sat down, unable to hide the joy on his face.

After the birthday gift was given to the second child's family, there was no movement from Ye Jianhui's side. Liu Ya quickly touched her husband with her elbow, and Ye Jianwen immediately understood and walked forward with the birthday gift.

The old man opened the gift box and looked at the contents inside. He found that it was a jade carving. After playing with it for a while, he smiled and said, "Very good. It's much better than last year."

As soon as these words came out, even a broad-minded person like Ye Jianwen couldn't help but blush.

When the old man celebrated his birthday last year, he heard from a friend and spent nearly 200,000 yuan on his own initiative to buy an antique. At that time, he was still complacent, thinking that he had gotten a bargain and would be able to please the old man, so he did not

Don't brag in front of relatives and friends.

But before it was delivered to the old man, an old friend of the old man concluded it was a fake. Not only did he lose face in front of his relatives and friends, but he also lost 200,000 yuan in private money.

Just when Ye Jianwen came back with an embarrassed look, Ye Jianwu's wife Yang Ling suddenly spoke and sarcastically said: "Oh, this fake antique last year was worth two hundred thousand, why did you get it today?"

Such a gadget? Look at the size, but it only costs tens of thousands of yuan."

In fact, the jade carving that Liu Ya chose was pretty good. Among the birthday gifts for everyone in the Ye family, it was above average. But the bad thing was that Ye Laoer suddenly made a big scene. They were all jade, and some were red jade.

The longevity peach, pearl and jade are in front, so Liu Ya's jade carving is naturally much inferior.

"Yes, big brother, if you need money, just tell your brother, we are all one family, and your one hundred and eighty thousand is not enough."

Ye Jianwu laughed and said with a sultry expression.

Ye Jianwen was ridiculed by the couple and his face turned red with shame. Liu Ya was so angry that her eyebrows almost stood up. She wanted to speak several times, but she finally endured it.

All the relatives of the Ye family sitting at the same table also covered their mouths and snickered. I don’t know since when, it has become a repertoire to mock the boss Ye Jianwen at family banquets.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Qingling and I also prepared a birthday gift for you."

After speaking, he picked up the gift box on the table and walked straight to the old man.

When everyone in the Ye family saw this, doubts appeared on their faces. Yang Ling even sneered and said with disdain: "A person who doesn't even have a job is a waste, what good things can he give away?"

Although Lu Chen and Ye Qingling had been married for only a year, under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, Lu Chen had turned into an incompetent household waste. This made many relatives of the Ye family feel pity for Ye Qingling.

At the same time, he also secretly scolded Ye Jianwen for not having eyesight and choosing such a useless son-in-law.

Mr. Ye couldn't help but look at Lu Chen one more time, and then slowly opened the gift box. When he saw the gift in the box, the old man's face immediately showed a look of surprise, which made everyone in the Ye family even more curious.

"Grandpa, this is just a broken cup, what's so rare about it?"

Ye Zihao on the side looked over and sneered.

The old man shook his head, looked at Lu Chen, and said softly: "Xiaochen, since you sent this hand cup, you should know its origin, right?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly and spoke eloquently: "Although this hand cup is unattractive in appearance and slightly worn, it is a serious piece of Yongxuan porcelain. The blue and white porcelain fired by the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory during the Yongxuan period was outstanding in terms of output.

The quality has reached a new level. It is famous for its fine glaze, rich colors, rich shapes and beautiful patterns. It is regarded as the crown of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty..."

Yesterday's dark and dirty porcelain cup, after the lead was washed away, is today's Yongxuan blue and white porcelain cup.

"Okay! It's rare that you know so many things at such a young age."

After listening to this, the old man's face was filled with admiration. He pointed to the empty seat on the other side and said, "Xiaochen, you will sit here today."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Lu Chen complied and sat calmly on the other side of the old man.

This scene immediately stunned everyone present, especially Ye Jianwu.

You must know that he spent nearly two million to please the old man and try to let his son sit next to the old man. But what about Lu Chen, who had never been looked at by him? With only such a broken cup, he also sat beside the old man.

By his side, isn't his red jade peach more important than the broken cup?

Liu Ya, mother and daughter were also very surprised. They had no idea that the old man would value that black and broken cup so much.

"Oh, it seems that when my son-in-law bought that cup, he only spent a thousand yuan. It seems that even if he has no money, he may not be unable to please the old man!"
