Li Shengxia thought it was strange that he had forced her to drink, but she did not expect him to be so evil as to drug her with that kind of drug. Fortunately, she was smart enough.
She knew it. How could someone with such a bad attitude compromise in a second? So he wanted her to make a fool of herself in public, hmph! He deserved it!
MO Nianchen smiled faintly. He had to admit that Li Shengxia’s move was brilliant. This time, Zhao Wanrong was bound to bite the bullet and swallow the blood. He had suffered so much at the banquet, so he definitely wanted to cover it up.
However, there were so many guests present today. As long as one or two of them said it…His reputation was already in shambles.
Li Shengxia thought of something and said,””By the way, is the gift you went to get still there?”
‘ Here.” MO Nianchen handed the bag to Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia replied uncertainly, “”Hmm? Why do I feel that it’s different from the original bag? Are you sure it’s the one I left outside?”
When MO Nianchen left the room, he did not see the things that Li Shengxia had thrown away, so he switched to something else at the last minute.
“Just give it to her.” “Alright, I believe you…Then, are you going?”
“I’ll wait for you here.”
“Alright.” Li Shengxia thought about it and decided not to force him too much, so she walked toward Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. MO was delighted to see Li Shengxia.
She had seen Zhao Wanrong stirring up trouble in the crowd just now. It was all thanks to Li Shengxia that she had managed to avert the crisis. Otherwise, with Ah Chen’s personality, he would definitely have fought with the other party and things would have gotten out of hand.
She was still thinking of ways to deal with the aftermath, but she did not expect Li Shengxia to avoid Zhao Wanrong’s trick so easily. Mrs. MO was very pleased with her performance.
“Auntie, this is a little gift from Chen Chen and me. It’s our first time meeting, so please accept it.”
“Thank you, you’re too kind. You even brought a gift. Can I open it?”When Mrs. MO heard that she and MO Nianchen had chosen together, she couldn’t help but want to see what was inside.
“Of course!” Li Shengxia smiled.
Hence, Mother MO began to unwrap the bag…
There was a box in the bag…
Li Shengxia began to feel that something was amiss…
This, this packaging was completely different from the one she had chosen in
the store before…
Could MO Nianchen have made a mistake?
However, it was too late to stop him now.
Mother MO had already opened the packaging…
Stone?
It was actually a stone!
A red stone…
Li Shengxia’s smile froze.
The guests who saw this scene could not help but be stunned…
Who was this person? How could he give Madam MO a red stone??
Li Shengxia turned around awkwardly, trying to find out where MO Nianchen had gone, but there were so many people surrounding her that she could not see him at all…
Her cheeks instantly turned as red as an apple.
Some people started to discuss.
“Heavens, someone actually gave a stone as a greeting gift. This is really unheard of.”
Someone looked at Li Shengxia in disdain.” Anyone can get in.”‘
‘ That’s right. Other people give cars, houses, and shares, but she gives a stone.
Hahaha, what a joke…”
“I’m at the wrong door.”
Naturally, Li Shengxia had heard some of it as well. Her face flushed red as she said, “Um, auntie, I’m sorry. I think… I think I took the wrong one…”
“A red stone? Could it be the meaning of ‘pure child’? It’s a very creative gift. Thank you. I like it very much.”Mother MO tried to smooth things over for Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia looked at her mother gratefully.
No matter how cheap the gift was, it was more precious than anything else when the other party said that they liked it.
However, there were still people pointing at him.
Li Shengxia lowered her head in embarrassment.
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd.” This unpolished jade looks like a gambling stone.” “Isn’t it a stone?”
‘What is stone gambling?”
“Jade raw materials that are wrapped in a shell and have not been cut open are called ‘gambling stone’. The outer layer of the gambling stone was wrapped in the original stone skin, which was either thin or thick. Only after cutting it open would one know what was inside. It might just be a stone or jade. As for the size and quality, it’s hard to say…”
“Madam MO, why don’t you get someone to cut open this gambling stone and see what’s inside?”
Mother MO had heard of gambling and was curious about what was inside. She got someone to cut the red stone…
After cutting it, there was nothing inside…
Mother MO was a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was just an ordinary stone. However, the guests were in high spirits and shouted to continue…
Another slash, and still nothing.
Li Shengxia felt increasingly awkward…
She really didn’t know why the gift had turned into a stone. It was too embarrassing!
At this moment… “Green! It’s green!”
“It’s true, I’m green!”
Mother MO couldn’t help but look at the gambling stone. She saw that the stone was emerala.
Finally, a complete stone was cut out..
“Are there any appraisers present?”
The person who spoke was carefully tasting the emerald.
“This piece of jade has a pure and evenly distributed color. It is extremely transparent and almost free of impurities. There are few cracks and it is old. This is the first time I have seen such a good quality jade. It’s definitely priceless…”
Everyone couldn’t help but start chatting.
He did not expect that a seemingly simple red stone would actually contain such high-quality jade…
No matter how expensive a gift was, it was just a gift.
However, this gambling stone made one feel extremely lucky to have obtained it.
The feeling of turmoil in the middle was irreplaceable. Anyone could remember this special gift!
“Madam MO, you’re really lucky!”
“Yeah, I’ve only heard of stone gambling before. This is the first time I’ve seen someone bet so much!! What a feast for the eyes!”
Mother MO was also very happy.
Li Shengxia heaved a sigh of relief. Should she consider herself lucky? Or was he lucky?
If there was nothing in this stone, she would die of embarrassment. However, he was too lucky to have such precious jade in this stone…
Where did MO Nianchen get this stone from?
Someone began to praise Li Shengxia.
“This lady is really creative! In an instant, he had surpassed everyone else.” “That’s right. Our gifts seem too mundane.”
Li Shengxia smiled and nodded at them to express her gratitude, but her eyes could not help but look for MO Nianchen.
At the same time, the music of the banquet started playing. After what had happened just now, the atmosphere of the venue was excellent.
The MO couple were indeed experts who had been in the business world for decades. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. They answered all the questions fluently and solved any problems with ease.
“Madam MO, the gown you’re wearing today is really unique. I wonder which master made it, especially the flower petals that are embellished..”
