Chapter 114 Could they have given him a piece of gold?
If Luo Hong knew what Yun Yao was thinking, he would definitely go berserk.
Our ancestor is already quite flamboyant. If she really gets serious about causing trouble, wouldn't she be able to bring down the entire sky of China?
"Ancestor, what if, I mean what if, the capital city doesn't accept you?" Luo Hong said somewhat nervously.
Yun Yao: "..." Has her reputation gotten that bad?
"Luo Hong, what is the founding principle of the Qin family?" Yun Yao asked.
"The Qin family's ancestral...principle? To live for the ancestors, to die for the ancestors, to serve the ancestors for a lifetime."
Yun Yao nodded in satisfaction. Although the slogan was a bit too childish, it did show their loyalty.
"Well, if that's the case, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Luo Hong: "..."
“I was being foolish. I’ll take care of it when I get back tonight,” Luo Hong said.
Yun Yao nodded before getting up.
"Let's go, you don't like this kind of food either, I'll take you to another place."
Luo Hong was so grateful that he was about to cry. He knew that his ancestor still loved him the most!
Yun Yao glared at him, and only then did Luo Hong stop crying.
The bodyguard couldn't help but pinch himself as he watched Luo Hong fawn over Yun Yao.
Ouch—that really hurts! So this wasn't a dream!
The darkness provided excellent cover for Yun Yao, and few people noticed them as they walked down the street.
However, the old Su family mansion was no longer as peaceful as it had been at this time.
When Qiao Yunan and Su Yuchen returned, a gift-giving frenzy had already begun. As soon as they entered, Su Feng quickly drew attention to them with just a few words.
Although he was dissatisfied with Su Yuchen, this old lady had produced another adopted son, which clearly showed she didn't respect him! Making a man in his forties call this greenhorn "uncle"? Humph! What a joke!
"I wonder what gifts you two have prepared for Grandma. Hurry up and show them to us!" Su Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing that they were going to show off their gifts, Old Fu, who was in the corner, couldn't help but move forward a few steps.
With Yun Yao's remarkable gift as a precedent, Su Yuchen was bound to bring out rare treasures next, which made him quite excited.
Qiao Yunan sensed the displeasure of the person next to him, but said nothing. Instead, he beckoned a waiter to bring over his gift.
“Mother, I have been searching for many days but have not found a gift that matches your status and temperament. But heaven rewards the diligent. Just yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive this jade Bodhisattva statue. I hope you will like it.”
When the classic and exquisite box was opened, everyone around smelled a faint fragrance, and the Bodhisattva statue was truly a masterpiece.
Old Fu rushed forward and carefully examined the Bodhisattva statue, becoming more and more excited the more he looked at it.
"Madam, what good fortune you have! This Bodhisattva statue is carved from the finest glass-type jadeite, emitting a refreshing fragrance. It has been enshrined in a temple for who knows how long. It cannot be simply defined as a collection; it is no exaggeration to call it a treasure." Old Master Fu praised it.
Bu Lanying looked at Qiao Yunan and nodded in satisfaction.
It seems that the adopted son I took in is really good!
"Third brother, what about yours?" Su Feng's voice suddenly rang out.
Su Feng stared intently at Su Yuchen with his triangular eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised, full of disdain.
He'd heard that Su Yuchen hadn't prepared any gifts at all! He wanted to see how this arrogant CEO Su would handle things in front of so many people!
Su Yuchen didn't take anyone on the field seriously, let alone Su Feng's deliberate provocation. In his eyes, Su Feng's actions were as ugly as those of a clown.
"I didn't come here to wish you a happy birthday, why bring anything..."
"Here! Here! President Su's gift is here!" Mo Peichen, who suddenly ran over, interrupted Su Yuchen.
He handed over a box that looked about half a meter wide, panting, and patted it.
"President Su, isn't this the gift you asked me to pick up?" Mo Peichen hinted frantically, his eyes almost twitching from blinking.
Su Yuchen recognized the box as belonging to Yun Yao at a glance. He was about to refuse when Su Lan stopped him and shook her head at him.
With one or two people trying to stop him, Su Yuchen lost his patience. He figured if they wanted to send it, so be it.
Bu Lanying was already very unhappy because of Su Yuchen's unfinished sentence, and when she saw Su Yuchen walking towards her, he still did not have a good look on his face.
"Now that the gift has been delivered, and I have other matters to attend to at the company, I'll be leaving now," Su Yuchen's cold and distant voice rang out.
"Yu Chen!" Su Weiwen was also very dissatisfied with Su Yu Chen's disrespectful behavior.
But no matter what anyone said, it couldn't shake Su Yuchen's decision. Without waiting for Bu Lanying's response, he turned around and strode away.
"Hmph! I'd like to see what he can offer!" Bu Lanying slammed her hand on the table, furious.
The waiter took the box from Mo Peichen and pretended to open it.
Little did he know, Mo Peichen's heart was in his throat.
He didn't know what Yun Yao had left behind, but given her unpredictable nature, it was probably...
Just as Mo Peichen was extremely nervous, the box was opened.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light flashed, and everyone around squinted.
Oh no, this golden light is so tacky, could Yun Yao have given us a piece of gold instead?
Before Mo Peichen could recover, he heard Old Fu's voice ring out again.
"Gold?"
Well, he was right!
Yun Yao, aren't you setting me and Su Yuchen up in the foot? That adopted son of someone else gave us a Guanyin statue worth an immeasurable amount, and we're giving him a piece of gold?
“This isn’t modern gold! Look at the luster, the hardness, and the carving technique—it’s a rare and exquisite skill, at least a hundred years old! Come on, little guy, take out your safety amulet.” Old Fu beckoned to Yun Zichen.
Su Lan handed over the safety amulet, and then saw Old Master Fu begin to compare it.
"This exquisite technique must have come from the same person; it's truly rare!" Old Fu couldn't help but nod.
Mo Peichen: "???" Something seems off.
When he peeked into the contents of the box, he nearly bit his tongue.
Good heavens! This is a beauty made of gold! The lifelike beauty dances barefoot, her face veiled by flowing sleeves, shrouded in mystery.
But... why does it look so familiar?
Unlike Mo Peichen, who was slow to react, Qiao Yunan had already guessed what was going on after just one glance.
This golden statue has a slender figure and graceful, elegant movements. Even without seeing its face, one could guess that it must be a stunningly beautiful woman!
And then there's that familiar carving technique... and Qiao Yunan's understanding of someone's narcissism...
This is probably... someone's true nature!
As soon as this thought popped into his head, Qiao Yunan's eyes lowered slightly, and his whole body exuded a chilling murderous aura.
In his memory, Yun Yao was extremely narcissistic and liked to carve her own likeness in her spare time.
But Yun Yao had always treasured these things, and he couldn't even touch them. Now... Yun Yao not only gave the original image to Su Yuchen, but Su Yuchen also used it as a gift!
While everyone was busy marveling at the exquisitely sculpted golden statue, Qiao Yunan quietly left the Su family.
First, Qiao Yunan presented a priceless Bodhisattva statue, and then Su Yuchen presented a golden statue of equally inestimable value. The two gifts were so similar that it was hard to say who was better.
"Madam, I suggest that this golden statue be enshrined together with the Bodhisattva statue. This golden statue is no ordinary object!" Old Master Fu said slowly.
Bu Lanying glanced at the golden statue that exuded an air of extravagance and nodded reluctantly.
"I see."
