C5 The Chu Family's Wedding Gift
Before he could react, Su Lianyi had already snatched the child away from her mother. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mom, I already told you not to scare Jing anymore. She's just a child. If you continue acting like this, I'll bring Jing along with me."
Su's mother felt a little guilty as she hurriedly explained, "I'm just saying, how could you bear to leave? As long as you're willing to divorce that trash, anything is fine."
Su Lianyi no longer paid any attention to her mother. Instead, she looked at Wang Teng and said with a cold expression,
"I'm sorry Young Master Wang, you have such a distinguished background, how could I, Su Lianyi, be worthy of you? Furthermore, I am already a married woman, how could I marry you again? He's back now, so please don't bother us again in the future."
When Wang Teng heard this, his expression instantly darkened. However, when he thought of Su Lianyi's beautiful face and alluring figure, he forced himself to calm down. He swore to himself that once he got his hands on her, he would let her have a taste of his power.
"Lianyi, what are you saying? Don't you know how much Little Wang has helped us for you?"
Su's mother had an angry look on her face as she scolded Su Lianyi. Then, she looked at Wang Teng and insisted, "Wang, don't listen to her. You still have to listen to me in this house."
Wang Teng smiled, "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely use my sincerity to convince Lianyi."
Lu Yuan's expression gradually turned cold. Someone actually said in front of him that he wanted to woo his woman.
"So the successor of the Wang Family has a different bearing. He's much better than some people."
"Only a young genius like Young Master Wang is worthy of someone as beautiful as Lianyi."
"Young Master Wang, when you and Lianyi get married, I will definitely give you an extravagant gift."
A group of relatives talked at the same time without concealing their flattery towards Wang Teng. Their words revealed their disdain for Lu Yuan.
At this moment, Su Lianyi was shaking in anger because of her relatives' words. Although they talked too much, they were elders after all, so it wasn't good for her to say anything. She glanced at Lu Yuan from the corner of her eyes and saw him standing there silently, his heart sinking to the bottom.
What Su Lianyi didn't know was that Lu Yuan didn't say anything because he was just worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself, which would embarrass Su Lianyi.
At this time, the maid carried the dishes to the table one by one. Everyone was invited to the table by Su's mother enthusiastically, but she pretended not to see Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan stood on the spot awkwardly. He didn't know whether to leave or not.
"Little Jing wants daddy to carry her and eat!"
Jing's gentle voice sounded beside his ear. She looked pleadingly at Lu Yuan with her big, watery eyes and raised her delicate small arm towards her father.
The moment his daughter's voice sounded, all the negative emotions in Lu Yuan's heart instantly vanished. Especially the word 'daddy', his heart almost melted away.
Unexpectedly, Su's mother's face instantly became ugly, and she scolded the little girl sharply, "Shut up! Your father died a long time ago!"
Jing pouted, feeling wronged. She lowered her head, pinched her skirt, and was about to cry again.
"Mom!"
Su Lianyi sighed. Her voice was filled with impatience. She picked up her daughter from the child's chair and coldly said without looking back, "Sit here!"
Lu Yuan looked at her gratefully and quickly sat down.
"I want daddy to hold me!"
Sitting in her father's arms, the little girl was ecstatic. She curiously scratched her father's ears and then touched his face. She chuckled and was very happy.
A trace of gentleness flashed across Su Lianyi's eyes when she saw this scene.
The group gathered around the dining table. Before they have even touched the chopsticks, Wang Teng took out a delicate pink box and passed it to Jing. "This is a birthday present from Uncle Wang. Happy Birthday to you!"
So today was his daughter's birthday. Thinking about how he had already missed four years of his daughter's growth, Lu Yuan felt a wave of guilt in his heart.
Jing glanced at Wang Teng timidly. After all, she was only four years old so she was happy to receive the gift. Her gaze was fixated on the small gift box wrapped in pink cartoon paper.
Jing took the gift. "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"
Wang Teng smiled brightly. "Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
The little girl was already curious about the pink box. After hearing Wang Teng's words, she couldn't wait to open the box.
After opening the package, there was an exquisite small box inside. Opening it again, she saw a dazzling, small necklace.
"What a beautiful necklace!"
Su Xiaoyu, Lianyi's younger sister, exclaimed, her face full of envy.
"I knew today was going to be your birthday, so I asked my friends in Africa to help me buy a batch of blue diamonds. After that, I spent a lot of money to hire an internationally renowned jewelry master to design this unique necklace just for you."
Wang Teng's face was filled with pride. His words revealed the value of this necklace and the importance he placed on Jing's birthday.
"It's actually a blue diamond necklace, and it's even designed by a famous international jewelry master. It's also custom-made so it should at least cost a hundred thousand yuan, right?"
Su Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with stars, wishing she could take this necklace for herself.
Wang Teng smiled smugly, leaned back a bit to make it more comfortable, and then said, "The diamonds aren't that expensive. However, commissioning the expertise of that Jewelry Master was what cost a lot of money."
"Six hundred thousand!"
Hearing the price, the relatives could not help but gasp in awe.
"As expected of the young master of the Wang Family, he's generous with his gifts."
"The most important thing is to be nice to little Jing. Once Young Master Wang becomes her father, then her childhood will definitely be much happier."
"That's right, Jing is truly fortunate to have Young Master Wang, who is both rich and considerate, as a future father."
The relatives didn't care about Lu Yuan's feelings at all. They kept flattering Wang Teng, which made the pride in his heart expand a little. His smile became even wider as he glanced at Lu Yuan provocatively.
At this moment, Su Lianyi's expression was abnormally dark. Although she was filled with resentment towards Lu Yuan, she had never agreed to marry Wang Teng.
"Today is Jing's birthday. You didn't even prepare a present, right?"
At this moment, Su Xiaoyu suddenly asked jokingly. At once, everyone's gaze fell on Lu Yuan.
"Of course, I did!" Lu Yuan said.
Hearing her father's words, Jing's face was filled with anticipation. To her, no present was ever comparable to her father's.
Su's mother frowned. Lu Yuan had come empty-handed. If he had prepared a present, where could he have hidden it?
Everyone else had wondered the same thing.
Under the crowd's gaze, Lu Yuan casually took off the pendant that he wore around his neck.
"Puchi!"
Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. She said with a challenging expression, "Lu Yuan, is this cracked stone the birthday present you prepared for your own daughter? If I went outside and randomly pick one, it would still be better than yours!"
Lu Yuan shook his head and replied honestly, "I picked it up on the desert."
His words immediately caused a wave of laughter.
Su Lianyi, who was looking forward to Lu Yuan's gift, instantly froze. She didn't expect Lu Yuan to give a broken stone as a birthday gift to his daughter, and in front of all the relatives of the Su Family. He was practically deliberately slapping his own face!
However, no one knew that what looked like broken rocks to them had helped Lu Yuan block many deadly attacks on the battlefield. Every crack on its surface told the story of Lu Yuan's narrow escape.
Therefore, Lu Yuan always considered it as his lucky stone.
Even though everyone was laughing at this broken stone, when Jing saw the pendant, she eagerly accepted it and happily said, "Jing likes daddy's gift. Daddy, quick, put it on me!"
Lu Yuan had a gentle smile on his face as he carefully put the pendant on his daughter.
On Jing's neck, the stone, which was covered in cracks, actually looked very exquisite. It was as if it was specifically made for her.
Because it was a gift from Lu Yuan, no one would admit that it was worth a lot.
"What's so special about a piece of rock?"
Su's mother looked at Su Lianyi with disdain. She said, "Hurry up and put on the necklace that Young Master Wang gave us. Let some people know the vast difference between heaven and earth."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Yuan scornfully.
However, at that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly picked up the necklace that was embedded with diamonds. Without even looking at it, he threw it into the trash can.
His action was like a bomb that shocked all the relatives at the scene.
They never expected Lu Yuan to casually throw away a necklace worth 600 thousand!
"What are you doing?" Su's mother flew into a rage.
Lu Yuan didn't care at all. He calmly said, "This necklace, when worn for a long time, is bad for the body."
"Bullshit!"
Wang Teng, who always tried to look gentle and composed, became angry when he saw Lu Yuan discard the necklace in public. "I spent so much energy to get this necklace! How can a trash like you insult me like this?"
Lu Yuan looked at Wang Teng coldly and asked, "You said that you spent 600 thousand on this necklace that was inlaid with blue diamonds?"
Wang Teng asked defiantly, "You think there's a problem?"
"If you really spent 600 thousand, then I can only say that you are a fool with a lot of money!"
Lu Yuan sneered and didn't give Wang Teng a chance to refute. He continued, "Blue diamonds are the rarest type of diamonds. Basically, they are priceless in the market and only a few really affluent people can afford to bid for them at an auction."
"In 2009, a rare blue diamond weighing 7.03 carats was sold in Switzerland for a high price of about 6.21 million British dollars, equivalent to more than 40 million Jiuzhou dollars."
"And this necklace of yours is at least 1.5 carats of diamonds, right? Tell me, how did you manage to buy a blue diamond necklace for a mere 600 thousand?"
"Therefore, this isn't some natural blue diamond at all, but an ordinary diamond that has been irradiated and changed colors. This diamond also carries strong radiation, so if it is worn by an adult for a long time, it will have a huge impact on their body's health. Now you actually want my daughter to wear this necklace. I think you did it on purpose!"
This direct soul interrogation made Wang Teng, who was originally full of pride, speechless. Looking at Lu Yuan's eyes that were boring on him sharp as knives, Wang Teng felt guilty.
Chapter VI: Su Lianyi's Attitude
After a short moment of shock, Wang Teng looked flustered, especially when he saw Su Lianyi's angry gaze. He quickly explained, "Lianyi, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I possibly harm Jing?"
He didn't know anything about blue diamonds. If he knew that blue diamonds were so expensive, he wouldn't have given this necklace even if he was beaten to death. He had only given 60 thousand yuan to his subordinates to get him such a necklace.
"I'm spouting nonsense?"
Lu Yuan sneered, "You don't understand how rare and expensive blue diamond is. You can check the internet now to see if I'm lying."
"Lu Yuan, shut up!"
Just when Wang Teng was starting to be put in hot water, Su's mother scolded Lu Yuan angrily. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy to criticize Young Master Wang? Young Master Wang had already said that he had asked a friend abroad to buy this necklace. Even if there was a problem, it had nothing to do with him. At least Young Master Wang was willing to spend a lot of energy to prepare the gift, but what about you? You disappeared for five years, and the first time you saw your own daughter, you gave her such a lousy piece of rock?"
Lu Yuan knew that there was no point in explaining. After all, in Su's mother's eyes, he was just a good-for-nothing trash with no good points. Compared to the Wang Family Young Master in Su's mother's eyes, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
However, what Su's mother didn't know was that the world in her eyes had long since been turned upside down.
"Enough!"
Su Lianyi, who had been silent all this time, finally exploded. Her body trembled slightly as she took a deep breath and did her best to control her anger. Her eyes fell on Wang Teng. "I'm sorry that my husband lost your item. But don't worry, I will compensate you the 600 thousand."
"Huh?"
Wang Teng was surprised for a moment and quickly shook his head. "I was pecked in the eye by the eagle this time and I believed in the wrong person. Since this necklace has radiation, I can't give it to Jing as a present. I'll give her a better one another day."
"No need!" Su Lianyi replied coldly.
Seeing her expression, Wang Teng did not say anything more. Su Lianyi was still fuming and angry at him. If he were to fight with Su Lianyi now over this matter, his chances of winning her over would be even slimmer.
Right at this moment, a black Rolls-Royce with Cloud A11111 license plate slowly stopped in front of the Su Family courtyard's entrance. Behind it was an unlicensed white Maserati with bright red decorations all over its interior.
Two burly men carried a large box from the Rolls Royce and walked into the Su Family courtyard.
The maid said, "Mr. Su, someone has come in from outside. He said he's here to deliver a gift and he's even carrying a large box."
"Gift? At a time like this, who would give the Su Family a gift? Did you clearly see the license plate? " Su Yecheng asked in confusion.
"Yes, yes. The license number is quite easy to remember, it seems to be A11111."
"What!? Say that again? What's the license plate number?" Su Yecheng asked in disbelief.
The maid was shocked by Su Yecheng's reaction and said in panic, "I'm sure I remember correctly. It's Cloud A11111."
"A11111, isn't this the car of Chu Tianxiong, our wealthiest in Yun Prefecture? Why would he send gifts to our Su Family?" Su Yecheng asked with an expression of disbelief.
At this moment, Wang Teng's family was also in disbelief. They didn't know what was going on.
Everyone followed Su Yecheng and walked towards the door. Lu Yuan stood at the side and seemed to be deep in thought.
At the entrance of the Su Family...
A black Maybach with a Cloud A11111 license plate was indeed parked in front of the Su Family courtyard, followed by an unlicensed white Rolls-Royce. The entire interior of the car was decorated with bright red decorations, which indicated that it was a lady's car.
Two burly men continuously carried out large boxes from the Maybach and placed them at the Su Family's entrance.
A middle-aged man dressed in butler's clothes was directing the two burly men as they lined up the boxes.
Seeing that everyone had come out, the middle-aged man went up to them and asked with a smile, "May I ask whom among you is Mr. Su Yecheng?"
Su Yecheng was about to step forward and declare himself, but Wang Pingtian walked up to the middle-aged man first.
"Housekeeper Chen, Housekeeper Chen, I didn't think I'd be able to see Housekeeper Chen's face today. I'm the top genius of the Wang Family. I saw you at a banquet before, do you remember me?" Wang Jingtian's tone was full of flattery.
Even if the Wang Family was considered one of the richest and wealthiest families, it was nothing compared to Chu Tianxiong's Chu Family.
Housekeeper Chen lightly glanced at Wang Zhentian, and calmly said, "I'm here to find Su Yecheng today, so there's no need for you to delay me."
Hearing Housekeeper Chen's words, Wang Jingtian just smiled and stood aside, not daring to say another word.
Su Yecheng then quickly stood in front of Housekeeper Chen and said hesitantly, "Housekeeper Chen, I'm Su Yecheng."
Seeing Su Yecheng come out, Housekeeper Chen took out a list of gifts from his pocket and read it:
"I wish the Su Family wealth so I gift six big golden toads and eight pairs of golden cats to this place."
"I wish the Su Family business to flourish and bestow 100% of the Jin Hao Hotel's shares to you."
"I wish the Su Family to rise step by step so I give the luxury car, the Rolls-Royce."
"I wish the Su Family business to fluorish so I give a cash betrothal gift of 99.99 million."
It was only when he made an announcement that the crowd at the door finally understood the purpose of the gift.
Looking at the piles of money in the boxes, along with the car keys, stock certificates, property certificates, and other expensive gifts, everyone was completely shocked.
After Housekeeper Chen finished reading the list of gifts, he bowed deeply towards Lu Yuan. Seeing that Lu Yuan did not resist, he then took his men and left in the car.
After a long while, the crowd gradually recovered from the shock.
"You, how did you guys manage to climb the Chu Family?" Wang Jingtian asked in a trembling voice. The scene just now had completely shocked him.
If the Su Family really had a relationship with the Chu Family, then their Wang Family would definitely not dare to ask about it again.
At this moment, Su Yecheng was also confused. He didn't know why this was happening.
Only Su's mother laughed loudly. "Did you hear that? The betrothal gift money. This is the money that the Chu Family gave to our family for Xiaoyu. "
Su Xiaoyu hadn't even reacted when she heard her mother's words. Only then did she realize that her elder sister was already married. Therefore, these gifts were naturally for her.
It was just that she did not know when she had come into contact with the man from the Chu Family.
However, she didn't think much about it. She happily picked up the Rolls Royce key and taunted Lu Yuan.
"Did you see that? This is love! When Big Sister married you, not only did she not receive a single gift, she even suffered so many grievances!"
"A piece of trash like you will never be able to give Big Sister happiness in her lifetime. I advise you to divorce Big Sister as soon as possible."
Lu Yuan just glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Are you that sure that these things are for you?"
