Xie Li was sold to a small mountain village as a child and was finally brought back to the wealthy Xie family after fifteen years.
A little country bumpkin flew into a wealthy family overnigh...
She didn't really want to say these things, but who knows, Huo Yuntang might try to persuade her to wear his imperial green jadeite set again!
Huo Yuntang stared in disbelief at the necklace Xie Li was holding—it was actually genuine!
A necklace worth nearly 100 million was casually placed in an ordinary box by her, with a very indifferent attitude—no wonder she didn't care about his imperial green jadeite!
Huo Yuntang's face darkened, as if he had been slapped in the face in public.
The assistant was also stunned. He had just boasted about the jade jewelry set to Xie Li. Although he tried to be restrained in his words, his attitude clearly showed that he looked down on Xie Li, who came from the countryside.
But a village girl can casually conjure up a treasure passed down for over five hundred years—
The assistant felt his face was swollen and burning with pain.
What he feared most was Huo Yuntang's anger afterward. It was shameful to be rejected and humiliated by a woman, and he didn't want to be held responsible.
“Miss Xie Li’s necklace is indeed very beautiful!” the assistant said, forcing a smile, her tone much more cautious this time. “But you don’t own any jade jewelry, do you? This set of imperial green jade is a top-grade piece of jade…”
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Everyone says they don't want that trash of yours anymore, and you're still praising him like this. I can't stand it anymore!"
The door to the inner room of the small banquet hall was suddenly opened, and three extraordinary-looking young men emerged.
The one walking in front was the one who had just spoken; surprisingly, everyone present recognized him.
Indeed, he is a top star after all. Even though Huo Yuntang never follows celebrities, he knows how popular Shen Xinghe is. Moreover, Huo's family had even considered having Shen Xinghe endorse their products, but unfortunately, they were rejected.
The boy walking in the middle is Xie Lin, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, a person who has been expelled from the Xie family and has basically lost his right to inherit the family.
As for the last boy to emerge—Huo Yuntang only glanced at him before feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis.
The boy was too handsome and aloof. Moreover, despite his reserved demeanor, he gave the boy a feeling of being undermined.
Shen Xinghe clapped his hands, and soon, more than a dozen people carrying clothes, jewelry and bags filed in through the gate.
These people were dressed in matching black suits and white gloves, and they were still following ancient European customs.
Ordinary wealthy families without a certain family background and resources really couldn't cultivate such a group of servants.
What shocked Huo Yuntang even more was that every piece of clothing, jewelry, and baby in the velvet gift boxes held by these people was no ordinary item.
Speaking of jewelry alone, each piece is worth over eight figures, and there is even a top-quality purple-pink diamond!
This exceptional purple-pink diamond, named "Happiness," weighs 15.8 carats and sold for 180 million yuan at auction. Due to its extreme rarity, it even made the news in financial news.
There's even a set of imperial green jadeite jewelry here, but it's far better than his set in terms of both color and clarity.
Huo Yuntang's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water—this was an insult, a blatant insult!
Xie Li glanced at the dazzling array of fine clothes and jewelry, not particularly concerned. "Why did you bring all of these? You could have just given them to Butler Wu to put away."
These were all gifts from Shen Xinghe, Grandpa Xu, and various other uncles and elders.
Xie Li didn't want to accept it at first, but after Grandpa Xie talked to Grandpa Xu, he let her accept it.
Shen Xinghe: "Oh, I just heard someone on your side being arrogant and conceited, so I had someone bring some over to slap them in the face."
These words were utterly offensive, and Huo Yuntang couldn't take it anymore. "Why do you have to assume other people's goodwill like that? Besides, what's your relationship with Xie Li? The Xie family's affairs are none of your business, right?"
