C5 Birthday Feast
C5 Birthday Feast
"You gave him your present. What are you going to do later?" Chen Mengyu looked at Chen Mengyao fiercely and said.
"Sister, I..."
"You go in first! I'll settle the score with you later!" Chen Mengyu did not show any mercy.
After she finished scolding Chen Mengyao. She looked at Chu Fann again and said sarcastically, "Trash. You really don't want any face at all. You can't afford a gift. You actually asked my sister to prepare a gift for you!"
You really have to lose all your face before you can be satisfied. "
Chen Mengyu really could not find a word to describe this kind of man. She said that he was a loser and overestimated him. He was completely useless.
"Let's go, Mengyu. Let's go in and celebrate your grandmother's birthday. What nonsense are you talking to him here?" Guo Chao put his arm around Chen Mengyu's shoulder. The two of them smiled at each other and walked into the house.
They did not give Chu Fann a chance to speak. Chu Fann's expression changed again and again. In the end, his helplessness turned into a faint sigh. He followed closely into the house.
Today, the Chen family had nearly a hundred guests. There were twenty tables outside, and the room was filled with people. Most of the younger generation could only enter the inner hall and show their faces in front of Old Madam after giving expensive gifts. After that, they were hurriedly chased out by their elders.
The inner hall was too small. Most of the people here were direct descendants of the Chen family and some bosses. Ordinary people did not have the chance to sit here.
"Boss Zhang from Pinggui District gave her a Golden Silk Nan-wood plaque. On it is written that one's longevity is higher than Nanshan Hill and is worth a hundred thousand yuan!"
"Chen Mengyao from the third generation of Chen family gave her a hundred-year-old longevity ginseng, which is worth thirty thousand yuan."
"The third generation of the Chen family, Chen Wenjie, gave her a high-quality blood jade bracelet. It's worth five hundred thousand yuan."
"The third generation of the Chen family, Chen Mengyu, and her good friend Guo Chao, gave her a calligraphy painting called 'The Bright Moon in the Sea', which is worth eight hundred thousand yuan."
After the ceremonial officer said this, the air became quiet. Dozens of gazes could not help but look over.
They had spent a lot of money, 800,000 yuan!
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Chen Mengyu had a complacent smile on her face. She was very happy.
"Mengyu, bring your friend in. Let me see him."
At this moment, a voice came from the inner hall. It was Old Madam from the Chen family. Everyone was envious. This was the treatment the old lady gave them. Only Chu Fann frowned.
But he didn't care that much. He handed over his gift.
"The bronze bracelets that were unearthed during the Warring States Period are worth one million." Chu Fann said.
"What?" The ceremonial officer was stunned. His expression immediately became playful. He knew Chu Fann. His status in the Chen family was lower than that of a servant. His gift was worth a million yuan? And it was unearthed from the country? Was he lying?
"Do you know the price of deceiving Old Madam? On Old Madam's 70th birthday, you faked to attract everyone's attention. Chu Fann, you have guts."
Why do I have guts? " Chu Fann stared at him.
"Good, good, good. You can do it. I'll see how you deal with it later."
The ceremonial official sneered and didn't argue with him. He deliberately raised his voice, "The son-in-law of Chen family, Chu Fann, give one bronze bracelet to the Warring States Period. It's worth one million!"
When he said this, everyone was shocked!
"Chu Fann? Does he still have money to give gifts? " He can't even take care of himself, can he? "
"One million... He's crazy about money. Grandma has always liked collecting antiques and writing games. She's an expert in treasure appraisal. He made a fake antique to fool Grandma. He still doesn't know how many jokes he's going to make!"
In the blink of an eye, everyone burst into laughter.
Officiator, bring his things and come in to see me! "
After a while, Old Madam's voice came from the inner hall without surprise.
"Chu Fann, you are not leaving any room for you. Haven't you been humiliated enough in the Chen family for three years? " Why do you think you're so cheap? " When he heard this, the ceremonial officer shook his head in schadenfreude. Then, he walked in with his things.
Chu Fann did not say anything. Instead, he followed behind him.
In the hall, Old Madam was dressed in yellow clothes. She was sitting on a redwood dragon head chair. Next to her was the second generation of Chen family, which was Uncle Mengyao.
Those who could stand here, apart from the core members of the Chen family, were the high ranking officials. They were the bosses who had a cooperative relationship with the Chen family.
Among these people, the most eye-catching one was a young man with gold-rimmed glasses and a tall woman in a long black dress behind Old Madam. His name was Chen Wenjie.
She was the third generation successor of the Chen family. That woman's name was Zhong Ting. She was the Young Madam of the Chen family.
They were the only third-generation juniors who could follow Old Madam.
The ceremonial officer first passed the Rise of the Moon to her.
"Grandma, this painting was carefully selected by Guo Chao and I. It cost 800,000 yuan." She saw that it was hers. Chen Mengyu immediately went forward and intimately held Old Madam's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll take a look right now." Old Madam dotingly nodded. She took the Rise of the Moon from the ceremonial officer.
It was just that she had not watched for a few seconds. Her brows furrowed. She couldn't help but glance at Guo Chao.
Guo Chao lowered his head guiltily. He spent eight thousand yuan to buy that Rise of the Moon. The seller said that the similarity to the real thing was 99%. Apart from professional treasure appraisers, ordinary people could not see it at all.
"How is it, Grandma?" Chen Mengyu did not know that the painting was fake, so she continued.
"It's good. I like it very much. You guys are very thoughtful." Old Madam nodded and a smile appeared on her face again.
But Chu Fann, who was below, could not help frowning. Guo Chao's Rise of the Moon was too fake. It was impossible that Old Madam could not tell.
She put down the Rise of the Moon and Old Madam picked up Chu Fann's bronze bracelet.
This time, Old Madam studied it for a long time and even put on a pair of reading glasses.
Old Madam's serious expression made everyone under the stage feel very strange. Could it be that the bracelet he gave her was real?
"This is the bracelet you spent a million yuan to buy?" After a while, Old Madam asked.
"That's right." Chu Fann answered honestly.
"Chu Fann, not only are you a piece of trash, but you also have a problem with your character. It's fine if you can't afford a gift. " Why did you use ten yuan to buy a counterfeit? "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"If you really spent a million yuan, then you have to compensate for this one million yuan! The money of the Chu family isn't something that a loser like you can use to waste!"
Suddenly, Old Madam threw the bracelet to the side and questioned loudly!
When she said this, the crowd immediately sighed.
"What, a counterfeit that you bought for ten yuan?"
"He actually gave a fake one!"
"What a cheap thing. He actually used a fake one to fool Grandma."
"I feel ashamed for him. Do I really not know why he is so thick-skinned?"
Everyone's unrestrained mocking voice was like needles piercing Chu Fann's heart. It was incomparably painful.
Old Madam waved her hand like she was chasing away flies. She said to Chu Fann, "Get lost. I don't want to see you again."
Chu Fann clenched his fists. At this time, how could he not understand what Old Madam was thinking?
How could Old Madam not know that Guo Chao's Rise of the Moon was fake?
How could Old Madam not see that his bronze bracelet was real?
But what was the point of all this?
The authenticity of things was not important!
What was important was the person who gave the item!
He was just a fat son-in-law of the Chen family. His status in the Chen family was not even comparable to a dog. Even if he were to give Old Madam gold today, she would still call him shit.
As for Guo Chao, he was Chen Mengyu's boyfriend. He was the successor of the Guo family, a typical rich second-generation. Even if he gave Old Madam a pile of shit, Old Madam would still say that it was gold.
Chu Fann laughed at himself, completely disappointed in the Chen family.
"Hurry up and leave, trash." Guo Chao laughed mockingly. His eyes were filled with pride.
She said, "Wait a minute!"
Just as the two security guards were about to push Chu Fann out of the inner hall, Chen Mengyu took two steps forward.
"Grandma, please don't say that I'm willful. I want to officially break off the engagement today. I will completely break off the engagement with him."
When Chen Mengyu said this, everyone became interested. Today, the good show came one after another. These two people's scenes were simply going to overshadow Old Madam.
"The three-year agreement can also be concluded in the near future. Mengyu, are you not in a hurry to wait now?" Old Madam asked expressionlessly.
Yes, I can't bear it for even a moment. He will only embarrass the Chen family and make me embarrassed in school. " In any case, we will kick him out sooner or later. It's better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. "
"It just so happens that today is your birthday. Removing the engagement is a double blessing. Besides, this guy actually dares to trick you with fake goods. I don't know what kind of disgusting thing he will do in the future. Grandma, what do you think? " Chen Mengyu could not wait to say.
Below, Chu Fann felt a lump of air in his chest. It was getting more and more unbearable for him. He could not breathe.
Old Madam thought for a moment and looked at Chu Fann again.
"Chu Fann, what do you have to say? "I have the right to give you my opinion. If you also want to cancel the engagement, then we will settle this matter today. "If you still want to stay in my Chen family, I'll fulfill the agreement three years ago and let you stay for a while longer. After all, my Chen family is a trustworthy merchant family."
"Since you have said so, can I still stay in the Chen family?" Chu Fann asked expressionlessly.
"Haha, you know your place." Guo Chao lowered his voice and couldn't help but smile.
"If I were him, I wouldn't be able to stay here for another second." Zhong Ting teased.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions. Ninety percent of them had the attitude of watching a joke. This was a matter of the Chen family and outsiders would not interfere. As for the Chen family and Chu Fann's good relationship, Chen Mengyao was the only one.
Chen Mengyao's expression was ugly. Her two small hands were tangled together. She did not dare to look up at Chu Fann's expression. She knew that Chu Fann was very embarrassed, but she did not have the ability to help him.
"So what do you mean?" Old Madam looked at Chu Fann.
Chu Fann laughed at himself and took two steps forward.
"I am an outsider. So, in your eyes, this one million yuan bronze bracelet of mine is definitely fake."
"Chen Mengyu is a direct descendant of your Chen family, so even if she is holding a fake bronze bracelet, you all still think that it is real. I can understand why your Chen family wants to protect your family. " However, I can't understand why you all trampled on the dignity of a man in front of everyone. "
Chu Fann's bitter smile grew stronger. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, took off the engagement ring on his ring finger, and threw it in front of the hall.
"Today, of course, the engagement can be canceled, but the three-year agreement is decided by both of us. Now that the time is not up, the Chen family will abandon the agreement and ignore it. In addition, Chen Mengyu did not follow the path of a woman during the engagement, so she has a relationship with someone else. Therefore, today, I am the one who took the initiative to divorce her! "
