C2748 Killing with Someone Else's Hand

Du Ruoqing didn't expect to see a good show just after she left for a while.

That Tong guy was really stupid. Huo Niannian had scared her with just a few words. He was really useless.

Du Ruoqing thought mockingly. If it was her, she would not choose to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of her own. She was too stupid.

It was her choice to use someone else to kill. Thinking of this, Du Ruoqing could not help but look at Gu Yufei beside her. Deep calculations surfaced in her eyes.

She was sure that the gift Huo Niannian gave Old Master Cheng was just an ordinary small snuff bottle. Furthermore, it was made in a remote corner of a shop. It could not be put on the table at all!

Du Ruoqing sneered. She wanted to give Old Master Cheng the most valuable gift. In comparison, it would appear that Huo Niannian was foolish and laughable!

"Let's go. We should also give Old Master Cheng a birthday gift."

Du Ruoqing sneered. She was looking forward to what would happen next.

She took the gift and walked towards Old Master Cheng, who was at the center of the birthday banquet.

When Old Master Cheng, who had just had a moment of peace and quiet, saw the two of them, he immediately frowned.

Du Ruoqing pretended not to notice his impatience and said with a smile, "Cheng Grandpa, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you."

As she spoke, she unfolded the birthday gift.

It was a beautiful picture of a hundred years old.

Someone immediately recognized that the picture was not simple and said in a low voice, "I heard that a few days ago, an auction house sold a hundred years old picture of a hundred years old for a sky-high price of five million!"

"You mean... the picture of longevity that Du Miss gave Elder Cheng is the one in the auction house?"

"This Hundred-Life Picture is expensive because two hundred years ago, a Su Xiu family gave a prince a birthday gift. I heard that twenty Su Province embroidery ladies did it for ten days before this Hundred-Life Picture was embroidered."

Su Xiu was expensive to begin with, not to mention that this Hundred Longevity Illustration was an antique. Therefore, all the guests present were shocked.

These words were heard by Du Ruoqing, and she was complacent.

She'd spent an entire five million to bid for this birthday present, and it was absolutely the only one!

Today, she wanted to show off enough of the limelight, and she even wanted to fiercely trample Huo Niannian under her feet!

With this thought, Du Ruoqing cast a look of flaunting towards Huo Niannian.

And Huo Niannian's gaze had just retracted from the stunning Hundred Longevity Diagram. Feeling Du Ruoqing's gaze, her expression still did not fluctuate as she looked at Du Ruoqing lightly.

After sending away the Tong father and daughter pair, Du Ruoqing and Gu Yufei came again.

Huo Niannian blinked her eyes and couldn't help but be curious about what Du Ruoqing would do after giving such a precious gift.

On the other hand, Du Ruoqing was very dissatisfied with Huo Niannian's calm. When she looked at Old Master Cheng again, his expression was actually indifferent as well.

It was as if what she gave was not a priceless longevity diagram but an inconspicuous gift.

"You are thoughtful."

The overly simple response almost caused Du Ruoqing to lose her composure. The smile on her face stiffened for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.

She told herself that it was fine.

Even if Huo Niannian could maintain her calm now, it would not be long before she felt ashamed!

Wait! Everyone saw that she, Huo Niannian, Old Master Cheng's only granddaughter, actually gave him a run-down snuff pipe! It was even more valuable than the gifts that she and Gu Yufei, two outsiders, had given him.2

At that time, Huo Niannian would definitely be so ashamed and resentful that she would want to die.

Thinking of this, Du Ruoqing calmed down and put on a bright smile again. "If Cheng Grandpa likes it, then everything I give is worth it."

After saying that, she gave a look to Gu Yufei who was beside her.

Gu Yufei understood and took the gift that she had prepared again and walked forward. "Cheng Grandpa, junior wishes you good luck like the East Sea and longevity like the South Mountain."

She also opened the gift. It was a set of black and white chess pieces made of jade. The black chess pieces were made of black jade, and the white ones were top quality suet jade. This set of chess pieces was even more valuable than the chessboard she had prepared previously.

If it wasn't for Du Ruoqing's plan, she wouldn't have spent such a large sum of money to buy it.

Gu Yufei restrained her other emotions and said, "I heard that you like to play chess, Cheng Grandpa, so I prepared a set of chess pieces. I hope Cheng Grandpa doesn't mind."

Huo Niannian, who was standing on the right side of Old Master Cheng, looked at the gifts that Gu Yufei and Du Ruoqing took out. Each of them was more expensive than the last. She quickly understood what these two people wanted to do.

Huo Niannian slightly raised the corner of her lips, and two traces of ridicule slowly appeared in her indifferent eyes.

Thinking back to the phone call that Teacher Zhao gave her yesterday, Huo Niannian guessed. Du Ruoqing and Gu Yufei must have thought that the gift she gave Grandfather would not be able to enter the elegant hall, so they deliberately gave Grandfather two valuable gifts. They wanted to make her lose face.

Then, wouldn't they have to rack their brains to force her to take out the gifts?
