Chapter 309 Preparing gifts
"You mean, they want to find you something more suitable for your man?"
At this point, she was speechless.
She and Leng Yiyan have been in a relationship for sixteen years. They already have a child, but they don’t know it yet. How could she possibly separate from him?
Leng Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I let them down."
"It's not your fault. You are the best in Pingyang Country. It's just that this is not your world and you can't show your strengths."
She turned to look at him,
"My dad's birthday is in three days. My mom said that I should marry whoever gives a more valuable birthday gift between you and Yu Daquan. Don't you think this is deliberately embarrassing me? In terms of financial resources, who in the whole East City, or even the whole country, can compare with the Yu family? And she won't let me use the money in my card. They want to make you back out with a legitimate reason. So I've thought about it. Let's go back to Pingyang Country and never come back. Let them never find me."
Giving gifts?
Leng Yiyan frowned. He was penniless, so what could he give as a gift?
He sighed and muttered,
"If it were Pingyang Country, any item from the palace would be worth a fortune, but here, as you said, my pockets are cleaner than my face, so what can I compare with them?"
Pingyang Kingdom?
After he reminded her, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, they can go back to Pingyang State to get something back, and any item they take out is an antique.
Thinking of this, she was a little excited.
"My husband, you are so smart. Let's go back to Pingyang State now."
"But what if your parents can't find you?"
"When we left the palace, Jinjie packed a cart of gold and silver for us, as well as my jewelry. They were all left in Linjiang County. We can go back and take whatever we want. We can still beat Yu Daquan."
"Will that thing work?"
He looked at her doubtfully.
"Pingyang is thousands of years away from here. Can people here recognize things from there?"
"Of course, the older the better. Just listen to me!"
As she spoke, she pulled him back into the car and headed straight for Bao'an Hall.
The main gate of Bao'an Hall is their only way to return to Pingyang State.
Returning to Bao'an Hall, she asked Bai Lan and Su Yi to wait in the office, and she took Leng Yiyan through the main gate to the courtyard in Lin'an County.
Coming back here again, Leng Yiyan felt relieved.
"Husband, let's go into the house and get something. We can crush them with anything we pick out."
"Take them all with you and put them at home or in your office. If you leave them here and they get robbed, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
She also felt that what he said made sense. If they kept it with them, even if they didn't need it, they could bring it back when they came back.
However, there were too many things, so they made several trips back and forth before they brought all the things from Pingyang State to Bao'an Hall.
Sitting in the office, she looked at the items on the floor, considering which one to take as a birthday gift for Luo Guoqing. Leng Yiyan simply raised her hand and took a night pearl.
Jinjie gave us this bead because he was afraid the road would be dark. We can't use it, so just give it to us.
“But this thing is too precious.”
"Just consider it as a gift to my future father-in-law..."
After thinking for a while, she nodded.
"Then it's up to you."
She took the night pearl box from his hand and opened it. Under the light, she saw that there was nothing unusual about the pearl. It was no different from an ordinary glass ball, except that it was two sizes larger.
She also instructed Bai Lan and Su Yi to put all the remaining things into the safe. If the safe couldn't hold them all, they should put them in a locked filing cabinet in the inner room.
Although her office has facial recognition and she is the only one who can enter and exit, she is still a little worried about keeping so many precious things here. She feels more at ease if she puts them in a safe or a locked cabinet.
three days later
Dynasty Hotel.
This is where the birthday banquet for Luo Guoqing is held. Originally, these matters should have been arranged by Luo Nianxi, the only daughter, but Chen Meifeng did not trust her and directly handed these matters over to her nephew Chen Yang.
Chen Yang just returned to Dongcheng last month. He had been doing business in Xicheng before.
I heard that his business failed and he lost a lot of money, so he returned to Dongcheng.
Chen Meifeng probably wanted to help him, so she let him show up at this time!
Although Luo Guoqing seldom appeared in Dongcheng in recent years, he helped Dongcheng businessmen a lot when he was abroad, so many people came to his birthday party.
These people are also well-known figures in the business world. They are not only from Dongcheng, but also from other cities.
In short, those who can gather here are either rich or noble.
Luo Nianxi brought Leng Yiyan and Bai Lan, and before Su Yi entered the door, she reminded them,
"Today's occasion is quite special. When we get in, Bai Lan, Su Yi, find a place to sit. Husband, follow me. If I ask you to call someone, just call them. Don't make small talk with them."
The three of them were very nervous and nodded seriously.
“We remember that.
She then came to the door, showed the invitation letter, and went straight into the hall.
Yes, as a daughter, she had to show an invitation letter to attend her father’s birthday party. This was all Chen Yang’s idea.
He was afraid that others would say that he was not rigorous enough, so he had to do this.
However, Luo Nianxi was not angry. After all, it was such a thankless task, so as long as she didn't have to take care of it, she could just let him do it!
When they arrived at the hall, Chen Yang came over with a fashionable woman.
When Chen Yang saw her, he spoke calmly.
"Xiao Xi, why did you come just now?"
The woman next to him, Sun Xiaoxue, curled her lips and said:
"Xiao Xi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it was our Chen Yang who was busy first when it came to our father's birthday. Not only did she not make any arrangements, but she was also the last one to arrive. She is really filial."
Luo Nianxi frowned and retorted:
"Whether I'm involved or not, my parents didn't say anything. Why should you, an outsider, complain here? Besides, Chen Yang is doing all this because my mom knows that his business failed and he has a lot of foreign debts. My mom feels sorry for him and gives him hard work money. If he wasn't after this hard work money, would he be so kind?"
"you……"
Chen Yang's face turned blue with anger, but he immediately changed his expression.
"Xiao Xi, I am your brother after all, don't speak so harshly."
When he said this, he glanced at Leng Yiyan.
"Is this your good-for-nothing cousin? He has nothing but fighting skills, and he always gets hurt?"
Leng Yiyan's face darkened at this moment, and Bai Lan, who was following behind them, whispered,
"He looks like a human but can't speak human language."
"Who are you talking about?" Sun Xiaoxue raised her hand and pointed at Bai Lan.
"Whose dog is this, untied and set free to bite people?"
"That's much better than some dogs pretending to be human and barking all the time."
As he said this, Bai Lan strode up to her and looked at her fiercely.
Sun Xiaoxue looked at Bai Lan angrily, raised her hand and pushed her away, cursing at her.
"You are the dog, your whole family is a dog."
