Chapter 611
Upon seeing the gift in Xia Yanyan’s hands, Lady Shen declined it reluctantly. Her original intention was to bid for it herself and gift it to her goddaughter. However, the bidding price escalated to astronomical heights that left her no choice but to abandon the acquisition.
“Miss Xia, you are too kind. As the saying goes, no reward without merit. This gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it.”
Lady Shen was a woman of principles.
Xia Yanyan said, “Madam Shen, you shouldn’t be so formal. This is just a small token of my affection. Please accept it. Moreover, this gift isn’t meant for you but for your granddaughter. In fact, I am well acquainted with your granddaughter. I am merely using you as a medium to send her a gift.”
Xia Yanyan had no clue about Lady Shen’s granddaughter yet she was unbothered about giving such a convincing reason.
It dawned on Lady Shen that her goddaughter was the neglected daughter of the Xia family – Xia Yanyan’s younger sister.
...
Alluding to Xia Yanyan’s words, Lady Shen figured out that Xia Yanyan intended to present her younger sister an engagement gift through her.
Upon contemplation, Lady Shen accepted the gift, “Then I shall accept it on her behalf and thank you.”
“Madam Shen, you are too modest. I hope this Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix Emerald Jade Pendant brings joy to your granddaughter and her future husband. I wish them a loving relationship and a prosperous marriage.”
Lady Shen nodded.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll leave you all to your private dinner now.”
In truth, Xia Yanyan was inclined to sit down, only pretending to leave with the expectation of someone persuading her to stay.
As expected, Zhang Yuhuan pulled out a chair saying, “Miss Xia, why don’t you join us?”
“Would that be inconvenient?”
Zhang Yuhuan replied, “How could it be?”
Presenting Fengyu’s teacher with a grand gift worth two hundred million, it was crystal clear what motivates Xia Yanyan in the minds of those present.
Considering Xia Yanyan’s sincerity, those present wouldn’t let Fengyu’s mentor accept the gift without reciprocating her kindness. They were more than willing to repay this debt of gratitude on behalf of Fengyu’s mentor, let alone inviting her to share the meal.
“In that case, I shall humbly comply.” Xia Yanyan took her seat gracefully.
After the waiter had poured her a glass of red wine, she stood up and said, “I am honored to meet so many distinguished individuals from the music industry here today. To Madam Shen and all the esteemed peers, I propose a toast.”
Xia Yanyan knew her way around, she had already won people’s hearts in the private room while Ye Xingguang was still looking for a parking space.
Being a pop megastar, Xia Yanyan was highly venerated among Lady Shen’s students. However, Lady Shen did not touch her chopsticks, wanting to wait for her granddaughter to arrive before starting the meal.
Observing Lady Shen not eating, Xia Yanyan glanced at Zhang Yuhuan in a questioning manner.noveldrama
Zhang Yuhuan explained with a smile, “We should wait a bit more, there’s one more person who hasn’t arrived yet.”
Chen Fengyu supplemented, “Our mentor’s granddaughter hasn’t arrived yet.”
It turned out that Lady Shen’s granddaughter was also going to come today?
Xia Yanyan had just told Lady Shen that she and her granddaughter were old acquaintances, now the person in question was about to come?
Nevertheless, Xia Yanyan was not worried at all. She was a national treasure and idol, almost all Girls in the country dream to befriend her, deducing that Lady Shen’s granddaughter’s age is around her, it is easier for young people to get along with each other. she just need to be a bit warm later.
Meanwhile, Ye Xingguang had finally found a parking spot after someone left post dinner. This time, she didn’t let anyone take it and parked her car swiftly. Afterward, she walked into the restaurant.
