444: Old Master Xi's birthday party(3)

Old Master Xi's birthday party(3)

Father Xi and Mother Xi also gave their presents to Old Master Xi.

Xi Ting stood up as well and said, "Grandfather, happy birthday. This is my present for you."

He instructed a maid to bring him the gift box. Without opening it to take a long, he handed it directly to Old Master Xi.

Old Master Xi opened it to take a look before smiling and saying, "Not bad, not bad. It must have been difficult to find this."

Xi Ting said, "It's just an expression of appreciation for you."

The people sitting elsewhere watched as Xi Ting gave the present and could not help but speculate about what the present was.

"A present from Xi Ting definitely wouldn't be cheap," someone sitting at another table said.

Hearing this, the person beside him smiled and said, "Whatever. It doesn't matter at all what present Xi Ting gives. Just look at where he's sitting."

"What do you mean?"

"He's sitting at the main table, alright? The people sitting there are all Old Master Xi's immediate family members. He's Old Master Xi's biological grandson. He can give him anything."

Everyone heard this and went silent. They looked at the people sitting there. Indeed, they were Old Master Xi's immediate family members. The man was right; as long as the present was from a family member, it did not matter what it was.

Sitting at the head of the table, Xi Jung also gave Old Master Xi a present soon after.

Old Master Xi smiled and said, "I don't care for any presents. Do you know what present is the best for me now? If Ah Ting could give me a great-granddaughter as soon as possible and Ah Jung could get married, I'll be the happiest one. I've been waiting so long for that day to come."

Xi Jung laughed, "Grandpa, you should just focus on Big Brother giving you a great-granddaughter. As for my marriage, I've not enjoyed my life to the fullest yet."

"You brat…"

During this bickering between a grandfather and a grandson, Nie Mianmian was sitting on the Nie family table shaking with anger. She could see that Qin Yan was sitting at the same table as the Old Master.

How could she be sitting there…

Indeed, since Qin Yan was together with Xi Ting, and the Xi family had already accepted her, it was only natural for her to sit there.

That position should have been hers… that position that everyone admired and was envious of should have been hers from the start. But now it had become Qin Yan's.

Nie Mianmian clenched her fists tightly. 

Just then, it was time for Nie and Yan families to offer their gifts. The Old Masters of the two families gave their gifts to their friend. 

When they had finished, Nie Mianmian said directly to Old Master Xi, "Grandfather Xi, I specially prepared a present to congratulate you on your birthday."

"Oh, is that so? What is it?"

Nie Mianmian immediately instructed some people to bring the present here.

Everyone watched as two people moved a huge object to the front. They found it a little strange and were also curious about what was inside.

Old Master Xi froze. After some time, he said, "This is…"

Nie Mianmian smiled and said, "This is a purple jade screen that I asked someone to get for me. I heard that you like antiques, so I thought that you might like it."

[Ah, a purple jade screen… it's a screen from the Mingqing dynasty. I heard that a few years ago, it was auctioned off to a collector and no one heard any news of it thereafter. Many people said that it had been sent overseas.]

[Is it the screen that's worth tens of millions?]

[It doesn't matter how much it costs. The point is that no one would sell it. Its value would only increase in the future, so who would sell it? Furthermore, it's one of a kind and you won't find the same thing anywhere else. Its value is definitely high.]

Old Master Xi abruptly looked at Nie Mianmian before hurriedly walking to her. He looked at the screen and reached out his hand to touch it. He looked very satisfied.

"Yes. I was about to get someone to look for this screen. I didn't expect you to find it for me first."

Nie Mianmian said, "Really? It's such a coincidence. I only recently asked someone to look for it."

"Alright. Not bad. Thank you."

[Nie Mianmian is so generous. Where did she get that screen?]

[It must be very expensive.]

[Old Master Xi seems to be very satisfied. He even specially complimented her.]

[Precisely. It's definitely not easy to get a compliment from Old Master Xi.]

Everyone looked at Nie Mianmian enviously. Nie Mianmian looked at Qin Yan very arrogantly.

Then, she had even heard someone say, "Miss Nie definitely overshadows Qin Yan. She brought a present but Qin Yan didn't even give a present."

[What can she give? Doesn't Young Master Xi prepare everything for her?]

[Look at the situation now. Old Master Xi didn't even spare Qin Yan a glance.]

[He probably forgot about her a long time ago.]

Qin Yan heard these comments. Even if she could not hear them clearly, she could still see the looks in their eyes and their facial expressions.

Grandmother Xi looked at Qin Yan sitting there and said to her, "I heard from Ah Ting that you prepared a gift for Grandfather. Why don't you take it out for him to see?"

Qin Yan nodded calmly and took out a bottle, "Grandfather, this is for you."

Old Master Xi took the bottle with a big smile, "Thank you so much! I like it very much!"

The corners of the others' mouths twitched. This was just an ordinary bottle, there should be something inside. He didn't even look inside and just said he liked it…

Qin Yan was amused by Old Master Xi, "Grandpa, here is a pill I made myself. It is good for your health."

"You made it yourself?" This statement shocked Old Master Xi.

"Made it yourself?" Li Mei on the side coldly snorted with a mocking face, "You didn't just take some flour and make something by yourself and give it away, did you?"

How old was Qin Yan? She made a pill and gave it to others? Wasn't she afraid that it would kill people?

Li Mei's thoughts were also the thoughts of others. Qin Yan was only 20 years old, how powerful could she be? How dare she give these things away? She was relying on the fact that Old Master Xi liked her. That was why she was fooling around like this, right?

Hearing their sarcasm, Old Master Xi glanced back at them with a warning in his eyes. All of them were silenced in unison.

Qin Yan laughed, "Grandpa, you'll know how good this works when you take it!"

The others' ridicule didn't affect Qin Yan. She didn't even care about their contempt. Of course, she didn't need to pay attention to them either. She only cared if the recipient liked it. 

Old Master Xi did not have any doubts regarding the pill given by Qin Yan. So, he opened the bottle, planning to pour out the pill for him to consume. 

However, just after opening the bottle, a fresh smell came out.

His face suddenly changed slightly. The smell made him feel refreshed!

He took out the pill inside. It was a green pill, the size of a peanut, and it looked very beautiful and lovely.

It was obvious at a glance that this medicinal pill wasn't an ordinary one.  2

However, the others looked at this pill and couldn't help but snort to themselves. There was actually only one pill here! This was too stingy, right? However, they did not say it, but only sneered in their hearts. And who would give someone pills as the gift on their birthday? 

"The girls nowadays are really funny, giving medicine to people on someone's birthday. Do all young people nowadays like to do this?" Someone whispered sarcastically. 

Meanwhile, having experienced Qin Yan's healing abilities, the two old masters, Old Master Nie and Old Master Yan knew that the pill in Old Master Xi's hands was definitely good stuff. 

They walked closer to Old Master Xi and almost snatched the pill from his hand. Seeing his friends' movements, Old Master's eyes suddenly shifted and he immediately swallowed the pill under the stunned gazes of the others.

"Father!"

"Old Master!"

"Grandfather!"

Everyone was stunned. He really dared to take it!

Father Xi was stunned and immediately brought over a glass of water from the table.

However, Old Master Xi refused the water, his face a bit shocked.

"You're not choking, are you?"

Everyone was a little agitated.

"Dad, are you okay?" Father Xi was extremely worried, "Hurry up and spit it out! Or hurry up and drink water!"

Old Master Xi shook his head, "No, it's already gone down."
