1093 Chapter 1094-miscalculated
Lan Xiao was stunned. This scene was as extravagant as an Emperor serving food in an ancient palace.
Were all wealthy and influential families so particular about this?
She turned her head and looked at Wen Muchu with a trace of inquiry.
Wen Muchu’s face flashed with a trace of awkwardness. He didn’t understand what the old man meant.
Was it to show off to Lan Xiao the luxurious and Noble presidential palace?
The old man did not inform him at all when he did these things.
He was also kept in the dark.
She had initially thought that she would be bringing Lan Xiao into the Wen family for lunch.
Who would have thought that old Mr. Wen would come up with so many tricks?
This old man was poisonous.
Old Mr. Wen snorted smugly at the sight of Lan Xiao’s confused expression.
“I didn’t know what girls like to eat, so I prepared some. Our President’s House has never lacked food and drinks. If there’s anything you want, just tell us. There’s nothing we can’t do, Yingluo. Don’t worry, as long as you’re with Mu Chu, our President’s House won’t mistreat you in the future.”
Lan Xiao smiled and thanked old Mr. Wen.
Old Mr. Wen raised his chin proudly and smiled.
After that, it was mostly Bai huien and seventh uncle who tried to smooth things over.
Old Mr. Wen had always maintained his aloof and quiet temperament, sitting high and mighty.
Lan Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle at his nonchalant expression.
She wanted to join in their conversation, but she just couldn’t let go of his high and mighty attitude.
Therefore, the old man could only watch them talking and laughing ...
About twenty minutes later, the kitchen informed him that lunch was ready and they could eat.
At the same time, Wen zhihuai had returned to the villa.
When Wen zhihuai saw Lan Xiao, he gave her a warm smile.
He then asked his Secretary to give Lan Xiao a gift.
Surprise flashed across Lan Xiao’s eyes. She didn’t expect Wen zhihuai to prepare a present for her despite being so busy.
She looked at Wen Muchu with suspicion. Wen Muchu nodded at her and motioned for her to accept it.
Lan Xiao accepted it and thanked Wen zhihuai, ” “Thank you, uncle, for the gift, Yingluo.”
Wen zhihuai’s eyes flickered. He raised his hand and patted Lan Xiao’s shoulder, asking her to sit down quickly.
Bai huien, on the other hand, stood there as if she had lost her soul.
Her eyes were fixed on the brocade box in Lan Xiao’s hands, and she was in a daze.
Her face was also very ugly.
Old Mr. Wen was rather curious about what kind of gift his son had given Lan Xiao.
He immediately asked Lan Xiao to open it.
Lan Xiao was helpless. He didn’t dare to make the old man angry again and obediently opened it.
When old Mr. Wen saw the Golden bangle in the box, he looked at Wen zhihuai with a complicated expression.
“Why did you give this gift to Lan Xiao?”
Wen Muchu looked on from the side, his eyes slightly flickering.
Lan Xiao was dumbfounded. He looked at the Golden bangle in the box in a daze.
This gold bangle was not in the style of a modern gold bangle. It seemed to be an ancient antique.
The gold bangle came in a pair. Although the color was not very bright, the weight and the carving technique on the gold bangle were not something that modern people could copy.
Most of the gold bracelets now were carved from Jade.
However, this pair of bracelets were indeed carved by man.
The carving was exquisite and fascinating. The dragon and phoenix carved on it seemed to be alive.
The most important thing was that each of the gold bracelets was inlaid with a Ruby.
At first glance, these two gemstones were worth a lot.
Now, as long as Lan Xiao was free, he would follow Fang Yugu’s antique knowledge, as well as the system’s little brother, Ye Yan’s popularization.
She roughly estimated the value of this pair of bracelets.
This bangle was priceless, and it had to be valued at hundreds of millions.
She didn’t dare to come to a conclusion on how much it was worth.
All in all, this was a priceless treasure.
Lan Xiao’s expression immediately turned grave.
She wanted to return the bangle to Wen zhihuai.
“Uncle, this pair of bangle is too expensive. I can’t accept the Yingluo.”
Wen zhihuai’s eyes were filled with determination as he looked at Lan Xiao seriously.
...
“Lan Xiao, to be honest, this pair of bracelets is an old item of the dead. It’s your first time at the Wen family and I shouldn’t have given you an old item from the dead. However, I think it’s time for these bracelets to have a new owner. This was also a wish that Mu Chu’s mother never had the chance to fulfill.”
Bai huien’s face turned pale.
She was holding a cup of tea in her hand, but when she heard Wen zhihuai’s words, the blanket slipped from her hand.
With a clatter, the cup fell to the ground and instantly broke into pieces.
She jumped in shock and quickly apologized to Wen zhihuai and the others.
ah, Yingluo, I’m sorry. I wasn’t careful and accidentally lost my grip.
She crouched down in a panic and tried to pick up the fragment.
The Shard was too sharp and immediately cut her finger.
The bright red color of blood instantly dripped onto the White marble floor.
Old Mr. Wen frowned slightly and glanced at seventh uncle.
what are you waiting for? quickly get someone to come in and disturb the fragment.
...
Seventh uncle hurriedly responded. He glanced at Bai huien, sighed softly, and went to call for people.
The servants came in quickly and cleaned up the debris on the floor.
Another servant took a first aid kit and quickly bandaged the wound on Bai huien’s finger.
Bai huien endured the pain in her hand and forced a smile as she looked at the crowd. Finally, her gaze fell on Lan Xiao with a hint of apology.
“Um, I’m not feeling well now, so I won’t be eating with you. The next time you come, aunty will accompany you to have a good chat Yingluo.”
Lan Xiao looked at her pale face and couldn’t help but sigh.
it’s alright, Auntie. You should go and rest first.
Bai huien pursed her lips and smiled. She covered her bandaged wound and went upstairs in a desolate manner.
The living room fell into a strange silence.
At this moment, Lan Xiao felt that this Madam President was rather pitiful.
Wasn’t Wen zhihuai’s words just a harsh slap to her face as the First Lady?
Old Mr. Wen was instantly unhappy. His face darkened and he glared at Wen zhihuai.
“What are you doing? He didn’t even know what day it was. Why did you give this bracelet to Lan Xiao in front of so many people? Aren’t you embarrassing huien? No matter how much you dislike her, she has been married to you for more than ten years. Even if the two of you don’t love each other, the feelings you’ve had for each other for so many years should still be there, right? Are you so cruel that you want to stab her with a knife?”
Wen zhihuai’s expression was dark. His lips curved slightly and he smiled bitterly.
“Dad, you said that today is a good day. However, have you ever thought whose son Mu Chu is? He’s not only your grandson, but also my son. He’s also the child that qiaoying gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy and going through a great calamity.”
