Chapter 11

For Xiao Wu's surprised question, Qin Xuan smiled and naturally did not answer.

In his previous life, during the most agonizing period, he had discussed with Xiao Wu, who treated him with respect. However, he accidentally learned her identity over the phone.

The Xiao family!

During his university years, Qin Xuan was well aware of this name, but Xiao Wu was a bastard child, her mother having become a nun. Therefore, Xiao Wu had been kind and devout since childhood.

After about ten minutes, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. More than a dozen young men and women gathered together, all from wealthy and influential families.

Mu Xuer also didn't look at Qin Xuan again, but smiled.

"Come, let's all wish Xuer a happy birthday!"

Zhao Xiaoyu jumped up, opened a bottle of red wine from a French Bordeaux winery, and raised a glass to celebrate.

A group of young men and women,

"Xuer, happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday, Mu Xuer!"

The group of young men and women cheered, and even Xiao Wu stood up, raised a glass of red wine, and smiled.

Mu Xuer, surrounded by everyone, wearing a white dress, seemed like a proud princess, beautiful beyond measure.

"Thank you all!"

Mu Xuer smiled, looking exceptionally happy.

"Quick, let's all give our birthday gifts!" Li Feng put down his wine glass and said loudly.

Since it was Mu Xuer's birthday, how could they, a group of young masters and misses, not bring gifts?

Everyone immediately took out various sizes of gift boxes and placed them in front of Mu Xuer, each box being quite valuable.

"Xuer, this is my gift for you!"

Suddenly, Wang Jiahao stood up, revealing a gentle smile.

The young man's innocent face carried a hint of satisfaction.

A crystal box was placed in front of Mu Xuer, containing a piece of white jade, completely transparent, shimmering with a soft glow under the light.

"Is... this possible?" Zhao Xiaoyu suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed.

She saw the name on the crystal box, Tylfe, an internationally renowned jade sculptor. Regardless of the quality of the jade, the name Tylfe alone was worth at least 100,000.

"My goodness, Wang Jiahao, how could you give such an expensive gift?" Even Li Feng was very surprised and found it hard to believe.

Mu Xuer was also taken aback, looking at Wang Jiahao's gentle smile, her face slightly blushing.

She was a young girl, just beginning to experience love, and naturally had fantasies about her future boyfriend.

"This piece of jade must be worth at least a few hundred thousand, right?" Someone nearby commented.

They were indeed all from wealthy and influential families, but at their age, just over ten years old, giving a gift worth a few hundred thousand was already a significant gesture.

Wang Jiahao smiled lightly and said, "Without the carving, it's exactly 180,000, the same as Xuer's age."

"Fine jade for a fine lady, even if it were 1.8 million, I would think it worth it."

Mu Xuer covered her mouth, her heart softening.

She was proud, a daughter of the heavens, and at this moment, she couldn't help but be moved.

The others were even more envious, a jade pendant worth 180,000, plus Tylfe's personal carving, roughly calculated, would be worth at least 300,000.

"Jiahao, you're really not being fair, you didn't even tell me!" Li Feng said in a bad mood, punching Wang Jiahao hard in the chest.

"Li Feng, when will you give me one?" Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled, her tone tinged with envy.

Li Feng gritted his teeth and said, "When it's your birthday, I'll give you one!"

A few hundred thousand was not much to him; he could always ask his parents for more.

The last person to give a gift was Xiao Wu, a Buddhist scripture. Everyone knew that Xiao Wu was a devout Buddhist, and for her, a Buddhist scripture was already very precious. Even if someone wanted it, Xiao Wu would never give it away.

"By the way, Qin Xuan, what's your gift?"

Suddenly, someone spoke, looking at Qin Xuan.

Everyone had given their birthday gifts, but Qin Xuan was still sitting there, leisurely sipping red wine.

Zhao Xiaoyu glanced at Qin Xuan with disdain and mocked, "At least you're Xuer's boyfriend, you didn't even prepare a birthday gift, did you?"

"Right, Qin Xuan, you're Xuer's boyfriend, the gift you give must be extremely valuable, right?" Li Feng also sneered, full of ridicule, waiting to see Qin Xuan's embarrassment.

The others all focused their attention on Qin Xuan. Even if it was just a bet, Qin Xuan was Mu Xuer's official boyfriend. If the gift was too cheap, it would be a laughingstock.

Wang Jiahao also smiled slightly, looking at Qin Xuan, "Right, you're Xuer's boyfriend, didn't you even bring a birthday gift?"

"Ha ha, Jiahao, how can you say that? If it were me, I would probably think the gift was too cheap to show," Li Feng laughed even louder.

"Qin Xuan!"

Mu Xuer suddenly spoke, and the room gradually fell silent. Everyone looked at Qin Xuan with ridicule.

It seemed that Qin Xuan was like a pitiful worm. They were all from the same school and knew what this poor boy was like.

Gift?

What a joke. If it were them, they would have been too embarrassed to stay.

In contrast, Qin Xuan was calm, sipped a mouthful of red wine, and took out an envelope from his clothes.

"This is my gift!"

Qin Xuan placed the envelope next to Mu Xuer and smiled slightly.

"An envelope?"

Everyone was stunned, and then one person burst into laughter, followed by a chorus of laughter echoing throughout the Dongmei Pavilion.

"Don't tell me you're giving a check?"

"Ha ha ha, you actually gave a letter, is it a love letter?"

"My goodness, on Xuer's birthday, you actually gave a letter, oh my, what a generous gesture!"

A group of young men and women laughed wildly, their eyes filled with contempt, disdain, and ridicule...

Xiao Wu turned her head slightly. She looked at Qin Xuan's calm expression, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She could tell that Qin Xuan was not pretending to be calm; he simply did not care. It was as if the people mocking him were the clowns, while this young man remained as steady as a mountain.

Mu Xuer also showed a hint of disappointment. She had thought that even if Qin Xuan did not give an expensive gift, he would at least be thoughtful.

What was the point of giving an envelope?

"Never mind, why should I care?"

Mu Xuer smiled lightly, not even touching the envelope, and continued chatting with everyone.

Qin Xuan sat to one side, showing no emotion, his eyes never looking at anyone, as if he were in a world of his own.

"By the way, Jiahao, why hasn't the important person you mentioned come yet?"

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaoyu said, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Before Mu Xuer's birthday party, everyone knew that Wang Jiahao was going to invite an important person to celebrate for Mu Xuer. It was said that this person was a significant figure in the Wang family.

Their parents were all influential in Jing Shui City, and they knew that Wang Jiahao's parents had recently gained a lot of power, thanks to a connection with a very important person.

Wang Jiahao looked a bit embarrassed and said, "He might have something to do."

"By the way, I heard that your family invested 20 million in the development zone?" A young man from a family that also ran a company said.

Wang Jiahao nodded and said, "It should be, but I don't know much about my family's affairs!"

He spoke humbly but with a proud demeanor.

"Still, your family is rich. Don't forget us when you become successful!"

"Of course not!" Wang Jiahao laughed.

Just as they were talking, the door of the Dongmei Pavilion suddenly opened, and a seductive and beautiful woman walked in.

The entire Dongmei Pavilion fell silent instantly.
