C63 An Astronomical Birthday Present
C63 An Astronomical Birthday Present
Jiang family did not give any explanation. They only said that she went overseas to further her studies. Everyone was not a fool, so how could they believe it? And now, Jiang Xiaorou just happened to come back at the birthday banquet. This unrestrained and unruly look was not kind at all.
"Why are you back?" Jiang Yufei was shocked.
She did not want Jiang Xiaorou to come back to attend the birthday banquet, so she deliberately did not let anyone send an invitation to Jiang Xiaorou. She originally thought that Jiang Xiaorou would feel that her father did not need her to come back because she did not have an invitation. This way, the limelight tonight would naturally belong to Jiang Yufei.
"Why can't I come back? Father's 50th birthday, such an important day. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, if I can't come back in time, I will be letting down the old man's care. Am I right!?" Jiang Xiaorou smiled naturally.
As she spoke, she cast a glance at Shen Yancheng. He was surprised. It must be because Jiang Xiaorou's identity was the eldest miss of Jiang family. In the auction, Jiang Yufei and Jiang Xiaorou did not mention anything about it. Shen Yancheng was shocked at this place.
"Everyone is naturally happy that Xiaorou can come back. Quickly come and sit! Don't stand there anymore. " His stepmother immediately jumped out and acted as a peacemaker.
In this kind of occasion, they could not cause any trouble. The stepmother was a smart person. She knew that Jiang Xiaorou did not come with good intentions today. Seeing that the birthday banquet was about to end, it was most inappropriate for something to go wrong at this time.
Jiang Xiaorou walked over with a smile and stood in front of her father.
"Dad, happy birthday." Jiang Xiaorou bowed to thank her father for raising her.
As Miss Jiang, Jiang Xiaorou felt guilty that she did not do anything for the family all these years. Furthermore, she knew that her father had always had high hopes for her.
"Quickly get up! Why didn't you come back earlier?" When his father saw his daughter, he was very happy.
Jiang Xiaorou got up and sat beside her father. This was the real father and daughter pair. Jiang Xiaorou leaned on her father's shoulder and was very gentle.
"Elder sister, today is daddy's 50th birthday. You disappeared for five years and finally came back. Could it be that today you are just going to pass it by saying happy birthday? Why didn't you bring a decent birthday present? Isn't this not too good!?" Jiang Yufei created something out of nothing.
She just could not stand Jiang Xiaorou's Miss Jiang appearance. Since young, she had been so proud that she did not put anyone in her eyes.
Tonight, Jiang Yufei was clearly the main character. For her father's birthday present, she had spent 150 million. In the end, because Jiang Xiaorou came back, her happy birthday sentence was more than Jiang Yufei's heavy gift.
Why? Jiang Yufei was not convinced.
"Who said that a birthday gift must be given? Does Dad lack this little thing of mine? Can't you tell that Dad will be happy to see me give a better gift than me? Dad, say it!" Jiang Xiaorou held onto her dad and was very obedient. Her little head would rub a few times from time to time.
"We are a family. Let's not talk about that. It is a good thing that Xiaorou can come back." Jiang Zhiguo laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close.
"That's right! It was just that it felt weird that his sister didn't give him gifts. After all, everyone present tonight gave gifts. It can't be that elder sister can't afford it! This makes me very curious. You've been missing for five years, what have you been doing!? " Jiang Yufei continued.
She should have stopped talking about it. Her father had made it very clear just now, so she did not want to continue talking about it. But Jiang Yufei did not. She could not let her 150 million yuan go to waste, much less let Jiang Xiaorou overshadow her limelight.
"Yes, yes. Miss Yufei is right. No matter what, today is Director Jiang's birthday banquet. Look at how grand today's scene is. Miss Jiang has been missing for five years. Let's not talk about where she went, just say that she came back today and can't even take out a decent birthday present. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?"
"That's right. Director Jiang always cares about her face. Don't look at how he says that he is fine on the surface. I'm afraid that he is feeling very uncomfortable in his heart!"
"That big guy said that Miss Jiang went missing for five years. Where did she go? Why did the Jiang family never mention this matter? Could there be some hidden story behind this? "
All of a sudden, everyone was talking about Jiang Xiaorou. Because of Jiang Yufei's aggressiveness, Jiang Xiaorou became the target of everyone. Everyone started to talk about her.
Jiang Xiaorou smiled. This was the pressure of public opinion. As long as one person said something bad about her, countless people would immediately jump out to guess her actions. It could even distort the truth.
They could even ignore what the truth was. They could do whatever they wanted without any responsibility.
"Good, good, very good." Jiang Xiaorou got up and clapped her hands as she walked in front of Jiang Yufei. "Younger sister's incitement is still as strong as before. Older sister admires very little!"
"Did I say it wrong? They are both father's daughters. I spent 150 million to buy father's birthday present and elder sister went home empty-handed. Isn't this equivalent to embarrassing father? You don't care how others teach the Jiang family, I care. " Jiang Yufei spoke righteously.
After she finished speaking, she proudly looked at the jade screen on the table. That proud energy was simply unparalleled.
"You mean this thing? A jade screen worth one hundred and fifty million?" Jiang Xiaorou pointed at it with a look of contempt.
Of course she knew the value of this item. Jiang Xiaorou of the auction had also gone there. How could she not know?
Jiang Yufei nodded, "I have no intention of showing off. This is just a token of my appreciation to father. I hope that he will be healthy and live a long life. Just like this jade screen, after experiencing countless of smoke and smoke, he can still stand in front of us."
Pah! Pah!
After Jiang Yufei finished speaking, many people applauded her. They felt that what she said made sense. She was very right. This was the person with the big picture. This filial piety was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
Jiang Xiaorou, on the other hand, sneered. This group of hypocritical people only knew how to follow the trend.
Jiang Xiaorou walked forward and her finger lightly landed on the jade screen. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
In the next second, she directly picked up the jade screen and raised it high in the air. She looked at the lights again and again.
"Be careful, don't break it for me. This screen is worth 150 million." Jiang Yufei reminded.
Jiang Xiaorou, on the other hand, started to move around casually in her hands. Looking at her light movement, it was as if she could fall to the ground at any time. Everyone's heart started to tighten as they felt that it was possible for her to fall to the ground. Was Jiang Xiaorou doing this on purpose?
It was fine that her father did not give gifts on his birthday, but he was still deliberately looking for trouble here. How could the dignified Miss Jiang have such a small structure? She could not be compared with Jiang Yufei at all!
At this moment, everyone started to discuss about it again, saying that there were all kinds of things.
And at this moment!
Jiang Xiaorou suddenly raised the jade screen high up and threw it heavily onto the floor.
Pah!
The jade screen worth 150 million was smashed into pieces on the spot. No matter how powerful the craftsman was, he would not be able to repair it. Everyone knew that Jiang Xiaorou had deliberately fallen and she was jealous. She felt that Jiang Yufei had stolen Miss Jiang's limelight and was here to take revenge.
"Jiang Xiaorou, are you crazy? This is my birthday present to father. What right do you have to fall? Do you know how much this screen is worth? Selling you won't be enough, you..." Jiang Yufei was mad.
Jiang Zhiguo's expression also turned ugly.
He thought that his daughter came back because of his birthday. Just now, he was quite happy. Now, he knew that it was because she was deliberately looking for trouble. Not only was the birthday banquet ruined by her, but she also threw Yufei's birthday present.
This was such a rare treasure. Breaking it in public was simply lawless.
"Have you had enough? Kneel down." Jiang Zhiguo suddenly shouted.
