Mr. Zhou turned around and took a jewelry box from the assistant behind him.
He took the jewelry box, handed it to Mrs. Zhou, and said at the same time:
"Mom, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you good health and a long life..."
The old lady just took the jewelry box.
I heard Zhou Yuelan's husband, Jia Benxi, said unhappily:
"I said, Third Brother, what are you doing? Is it jewelry again? The birthday gift you gave the old lady last year was a necklace. This year it's another necklace. Aren't you afraid that the old lady's neck won't be able to bear wearing so many necklaces?
"
Jia Benxi was a martial artist with little education.
In addition, he doesn't like Mr. Zhou's character.
Therefore, I deliberately used words to ridicule Young Master Zhou.
As soon as Jia Benxi finished speaking, his second sister Zhou Yuefang immediately answered:
"Third brother, don't think what your brother-in-law said is wrong. You want to go out to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Think more about how to make our old lady happy. You said you got a necklace last year and got another necklace this year.
I don’t know what you think!”
The second sister also complained.
The reason why everyone treats Young Master Zhou like this.
It's because everyone regards Young Master Zhou as the biggest potential opponent.
Therefore, they all tried their best to suppress him.
Mrs. Zhou was also a little disappointed.
But she still opened the jewelry box with a smile.
When it opened, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The reason why I was surprised.
It's because this necklace looks too ordinary.
It's a gray silver necklace with quite a few gems on it.
However, the color is dark.
It's not as crystal clear as a gemstone at all.
Mrs. Zhou, who had been forcing a smile on her face, suddenly looked a little unhappy.
The old lady loves face.
In front of many guests and friends, Young Master Zhou actually gave such a crappy thing as a gift.
She will definitely be a little unhappy.
Upon seeing this necklace, Jia Benxi immediately snorted and said disdainfully:
"Third brother, is your brain broken? Where did you find such a crappy thing? Are you just here to piss off the old lady?"
Jia Benxi just finished speaking.
Second sister Zhou Yuefang immediately followed and said:
"Third brother, what are you doing? Why does it still look like a second-hand item?"
"Yes, even if it is an antique, how much can a silver product be worth?"
"This kind of unclear thing. If there are any bacteria or the like on it, third child, you will harm the old lady!"
Several brothers and sisters of the Zhou family took turns bombarding Young Master Zhou.
Mr. Zhou said, his face was filled with embarrassment.
He just wanted to ask Xia Xiaoyu for help.
Suddenly, I heard housekeeper Zhou Jiujiang whisper:
"I think I've seen this necklace before..."
Zhou Jiujiang said it deliberately.
Although his voice is not loud.
But the people present heard it clearly.
Zhou Yuelan immediately turned to look at him and asked:
"Steward Zhou, where have you seen this necklace?"
Zhou Jiujiang deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"It's hard for me to say this. I'm not sure either. If I say something wrong, I'll make the Third Young Master unhappy again!"
Because Master Zhou treated Xia Xiaoyu as a distinguished guest.
Zhou Jiujiang naturally had a strong opinion of Young Master Zhou.
Now, there is a chance for revenge.
He won't let it go easily.
"Don't be afraid, tell me, where have you seen it?"
Zhou Yuelan immediately urged.
Zhou Jiujiang still hesitated and refused to speak.
Mrs. Zhou frowned and continued:
"Steward Zhou, don't be hesitant. Just tell me, if anyone embarrasses you, I will make the decision for you!"
This was what Zhou Jiujiang was waiting for.
He deliberately glanced at Master Zhou before speaking:
"If I remember correctly, this necklace should have been sold on consignment in that second-hand luxury boutique in the city..."
"What? Is this really a second-hand product? Or was it sold on consignment in a market store?"
"I thought the third child bought it from an antique store, but he actually bought it in a second-hand store! This is too much!"
"Third brother, what are you thinking? Do you want to make mom angry to death?"
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were all filled with anger.
They all accused Young Master Zhou.
And Zhou Jiujiang suddenly added:
"This necklace seems to be on consignment from Huajia..."
"ah?"
As soon as the words left his mouth.
The whole place was in an uproar.
If the Hua family doesn't want anything, Young Master will buy it on Wednesday.
I gave it to the old lady as a birthday gift.
This was something no one expected.
Zhou Yuelan acted like a big sister.
She turned around and glanced at Hua Moran, who was looking embarrassed, and asked directly:
"Mr. Hua happens to be here too. I would like to ask Mr. Hua, is this necklace really consigned by you in a second-hand luxury store?"
After all, this is a family matter of the Zhou family.
Hua Moran couldn't say too much.
She could only tell the truth.
"This necklace was indeed sold on consignment by me in a second-hand store..."
As soon as Hua Moran finished speaking.
I saw the old lady, her face turned pale with anger.
He threw the necklace in his hand directly in front of Master Zhou and said with a cold face:
"Xiaosan, your wish is my mother's. You'd better keep this kind of thing to yourself..."
The old lady's words frightened Young Master Zhou into panic.
He quickly turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu took his time and picked up the necklace.
I looked around in my hand.
Then, he slowly said:
"Old lady, this is a good thing. It's a pity to throw it away like this..."
Old Mrs. Zhou turned her head and stared at Xia Xiaoyu with cold eyes.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
Mr. Wednesday was just about to speak.
Just listen to Zhou Jiujiang say first:
"Back to the old lady, this man's name is Xia Xiaoyu, from Jiangcheng. He is very close to the head of the Hua family, Ms. Hua Moran. He also chose this necklace for the third young master..."
Zhou Jiujiang is very sinister.
It seems like an ordinary sentence, but it contains a lot of information.
First of all, let me say that Hua Moran and Xia Xiaoyu have a good relationship.
Let’s talk about the necklace that Xia Xiaoyu helped Young Master Zhou choose.
Just let the old lady and everyone think that.
It was Hua Moran and Xia Xiaoyu who colluded to deceive Young Master Zhou into buying this necklace.
From the side, it can also show that Mr. Wednesday is incompetent and easily fooled.
This can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Sure enough, as soon as the words were finished.
The old lady glared at Xia Xiaoyu and Young Master Zhou, and said coldly:
"Xiaosan, you are already thirty years old. Can't you make the decision on your own? Why do you want an outsider to help you choose a gift? And you, what qualifications do you have to help our mistress choose a gift for me?"
After saying that, the old lady said directly to Zhou Jiujiang:
"People like this are of no use here except disturbing everyone's interest. Butler, see the guests off!"
Mrs. Zhou directly issued an eviction order.
Zhou Jiujiang felt proud for a while.
He made a gesture of invitation towards Xia Xiaoyu and said:
