The Lu family is still a big family, and the marriage with the Ji family is a good match.
That’s why Ji Yinghan doesn’t mind the red birthmark on Su Hen’s face!
At this time, Ji Ningtai, the old man of the Ji family, also came out of the inner hall.
He was wearing a festive dark red Tang suit today. He was in good spirits and his steps were still steady, no worse than Lu Hao.
After he greeted everyone, he sat down.
The guests began to offer their gifts.
According to the custom of City A, when the birthday girl receives birthday gifts, he usually opens them in person.
For this reason, every guest, for the sake of face, tries his best to send expensive or original gifts in order to win the favor of the birthday star or gain face.
The guests invited here usually have a lot of money.
The gifts given are worth at least ten thousand yuan.
Of course, except for close relatives or people who want to gain something, most people will not give overly expensive gifts, just to look good.
The gifts were presented and opened one by one, and everyone praised them one by one, either sincerely or hypocritically, with all kinds of expressions.
It was Lu Haoqiang's turn to present the gift.
As business rivals, Lu Haoqiang and Ji Ningtai had little friendship and had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.
However, on this occasion, even the enemy who killed his father would pretend to be reconciled.
As for Ji Ningtai, his focus was on Su Hen. He also smiled sincerely and spoke politely to his defeated general Lu Haoqiang.
Others are also looking forward to what Lu Haoqiang will give Ji Ningtai.
They even secretly longed to put on a good show.
Unfortunately, they all miscalculated.
Although Lu Haoqiang had many objections to Ji Ningtai's domination of his market, he also admired him for starting from scratch and making the Ji family prosperous.
What's more, he also knew about the good relationship between Su Hen and Ji Yinghan, and he didn't want the relationship between the two families to break.
With Ji Yinghan's help, he believed that Su Hen would be like a fish in water and one day he would be able to revive the Lu family.
Therefore, today's gift was carefully prepared by him and was not used to make a show for others.
What he prepared was a small golden Buddha, which was decent and meaningful, so no one could see the joke.
Ji Ningtai also readily accepted it.
"Grandpa Ji, I also brought birthday gifts today. I wish you blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
After Su Hen saluted and congratulated Ji Ningtai, he also presented the gift in his hand.
Before, she didn't know that it was a custom here to open gifts in person.
Her golden red jadeite is worth at least 50 million. Once it shines in front of everyone, it will cause too much commotion or some kind of speculation.
Of course, she didn't want Lu Haoqiang to vomit blood on the spot.
Therefore, she added, "This gift is a bit small, so please ask Grandpa Ji to open it privately."
As soon as she said this, everyone was immediately interested.
Many people who wanted to see her joke started to speak out.
"As the saying goes, affection is more important than gift. No matter how small a gift it is, it is still Miss Lu's sincerity. It doesn't hurt to open it in person for us to see. We are very interested to know what kind of gift the little girl's family will give.
"
"Yes, yes, this is necessary."
"I don't dare to let people open it. It can't be something from a street stall. I heard that Miss Lu used to live in a slum like Wenming Lane. The gifts I gave you probably won't be very impressive."
"Oh, I am now the eldest lady of the Lu family. Grandpa prepared a gift, and she prepared another one for herself. It must be an original and unique gift. If you want to make a good impression, you must see it..."
"Yes, just open it and let us take a look!"
There are many opinions, but they all have one purpose, which is to see how light and embarrassing the gift is!
