C2 A Real Night Pearl

The name of this man from the Jee family was Ji Yun. He was the only man in the Jee family's generation, and also the younger brother of the eldest daughter, Jee Xuan.

And why did he have such an ugly expression when Xuan Ji offered the Night-Luminescent Pearl as a birthday gift? He had to start from the beginning.

The people of the Jee family naturally understood this rule. Since that was the case... In order to avoid the awkward situation of giving out the same gift, they had discussed it beforehand. Before this, Ji Yun had already expressed that she would give him a Night-Luminescent Pearl. Therefore, before Xuan Ji went on stage, she had already said that she would give him a Night-Luminescent Pearl. The Night-Luminescent Pearl that he gave was also the only treasure among all the presents.

However, it would be fine if he only repeated the presents. The reason why he put on such a stinky face was because he knew very well... The Night-Luminescent Pearl he gave was fake.

When Xuan Ji handed over the Night-Luminescent Pearl, Ji Yun had given him the other Night-Luminescent Pearl. It wasn't a big deal to look at it alone, but comparing it to the Night-Luminescent Pearl... The difference was obvious. Ji Yun's stone was so bright that it gave off a dim light even in the brightly lit hall. As for Xuan Ji's stone, it was much darker. It was simple and restrained. Compared to jewelry, it was more like a stone.

How could ordinary people understand the principle of this kind of jewelry that had been around for a long time. When they looked at it this way, they would naturally treat Ji Yun's pearl as a true luminous pearl.

From the gloomy expression of Jee family's great-grandmother, it was obvious that she also thought the same.

Slowly, the people in the hall began to whisper.

"I say... The Night-Luminescent Pearl given by the son-in-law of the Jee family is obviously a fake, right?"

"Yeah... I guess he wanted to mix the fish with the pearl, but he didn't expect someone to give him a real Night-Luminescent Pearl. This time, it's really ugly... "

Jee Xuan stood where she was, her face alternating between red and white. She endured it and endured it, but in the end, she was unable to refute those gossips.

Forget it, it was okay to lose face. In the end, it was her fault for forgetting to prepare her birthday present for this kind of situation. Xuan Ji also wanted to help her out of the predicament, but he had done something bad out of good intentions.

The old lady of Jee family was also a proud and arrogant person. Although she didn't get angry on the spot, she was mocked by others for giving fake goods to her at the birthday banquet. Naturally, her facial expression didn't look too good. She did not reach out to receive the birthday gift either. Instead, she said in a cold and hard voice, "The two of you can go back."

Xuan Ji blinked his eyes. Seeing that the old man did not accept the gift, he placed the Night Pearl on the table and held Jee Xuan's hand as he walked back.

"Tsk tsk... I was chased back and did not even receive the gift. This is really embarrassing..."

"He is an ignorant person after all. He can even give a fake gift."

"Isn't it embarrassing to give something so worthless to him..."

The mocking words that came from both sides kept piercing into his ears, but Xuan Ji still acted as if he didn't hear anything, as if he didn't hear anything. After pulling his wife down from the stage, he obediently sat back down. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and stuffed a piece of sweet and sour pork into his mouth.

After that farce just now, great-grandmother Jee's mood also lost quite a bit. She no longer exchanged pleasantries with the guests and directly cut to the chase.

"Dear guests, I have invited all of you here today. Actually, other than celebrating my birthday, I have also invited all of you here. There is another thing that I wish to announce." Even though great-grandmother Jee's matter was very high, her voice was still very loud and clear. Once she spoke, the entire hall quietened down. She quietly waited for her next words.

The old lady coughed lightly, then said resolutely, "The next head of the Jee family, the heir to the Jee family, has decided to be the youngest daughter of the Jee family - Ji Yuan!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

Unlike Ji Yuan, who was full of pride, the other two sons of the Jee family who were standing next to him revealed expressions of disbelief. Jee Xuan's father, Jee Huo, even threw the wine cup in his hand onto the ground. After all, according to the rules of the eldest son of the first family, the title of the family head should have belonged to him.

"Mother... could it be that you are wrong?" Jee Huo could not help but ask, "The position of the heir should not be..."

"Of course I am not wrong." great-grandmother Jee frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with Jee Huo's refutation of her. "The family business of Jee family is usually left to the male descendants of the most popular Jee family as the heir. Look at Ji Yuan, then look at yourself! This child Ji Yuan can at least let me have a grandson, but what about you?"

" Although this is correct, we should still consider it carefully... " Jee Huo wanted to continue struggling, but was stopped by the old lady. "No need to say anymore, I have made up my mind!"

The Jee family brothers shut their mouths, but their eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Just as this farce was about to end, suddenly...

"Ka!"

In an instant, the entire hall became pitch black. In this pitch black darkness, only the two pearls on the table were still shining.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Power outage?" Wang Yao asked.

The panic caused by the loss of sight caused the crowd to become chaotic and noisy. Xuan Ji swallowed the fish meat in his mouth and glanced at the stage.

The light from the Night Pearl made people's vision become a little useful. When Jee Xuan looked at the pearl, a clear black shadow happened to flash by the side of the pearl. The Night-Luminescent Pearl that was given by Ji Yun fell from the table. At the same time, she seemed to faintly feel the sound of wind brushing past her ear.

"Crack!"

The exceptionally bright pearl smashed into pieces when it hit the ground. Sparkling fluorescent powder flew out from the pearl and was seen clearly by everyone!

How could they not understand that the Night-Luminescent Pearl given by Ji Yun was a real fake!

Just as everyone stared blankly at the glass fragments stained with fluorescent powder, the light turned on.

What entered their eyes was a shocking scene.

A figure dressed in black was lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, the figure's right hand had been pierced through by a chopstick and nailed to the floor. The long and thin blood flowed on the floor like a red flower. The night vision device on the figure's head and the dagger that had fallen beside it indicated the identity of the person who had come. In front of the figure, The old lady on the stage had already turned pale. Obviously, she also understood that if it wasn't for the chopsticks in the other party's hand that were nailed to the floor, She would probably be dead by now.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. Jee Xuan was the only one who looked at the bloody chopsticks and touched her chin.

Wait a minute, when the light went out, there seemed to be something...

Jee Xuan's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at the corner.

In the corner, Xuan Ji accurately put the only remaining chopsticks in his hand into a fish ball and then put it into his mouth as if nothing had happened.

He had an innocent face and a natural expression, just like an ordinary melon-eating crowd.
