Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment, but didn't think about it any more, "Let's go to grandpa first and celebrate his birthday."
"Aren't you going to ask me what to bring for your grandfather?" Chu Jinghong asked curiously.
"It's okay, I've already prepared everything. It doesn't matter whether you bring it or not. After all, we are going together to celebrate grandpa's birthday." Xia Yuqing said with a smile.
Chu Jinghong smiled and said nothing more.
…
At this time, the villa of the old man of the Xia family was very lively. Almost all the members of the Xia family came to celebrate the old man's birthday.
"Grandpa, Xia Yuqing hasn't come yet. She really thinks that just because she's the president of the Xia Group, she can ignore you. This is simply too much!"
Xia Qingyi said dissatisfiedly beside Old Man Xia.
"That's right. Ever since Xia Yuqing took over as the president of Xia Group, she really has ignored everyone. She even asked Grandpa to wait for her for his birthday. What a jerk!"
Xia Junchi also echoed.
Old Master Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Qingyi and Xia Junchi with dissatisfaction, "Don't whisper nonsense in my ears. Yuqing is late, so she must have encountered something. Besides, Yuqing came with her boyfriend today. We can't start the banquet without Yuqing."
“…”
“…”
Xia Qingyi and Xia Junchi were stunned. They never expected that their grandfather would dote on Xia Yuqing so much.
Just at this moment, Xia Yuqing finally arrived with Chu Jinghong.
"Grandpa, I brought Chu Jinghong to celebrate your birthday." Xia Yuqing said with a smile.
"Mr. Xia, may you live a long life."
Chu Jinghong smiled cynically and sat directly next to Old Man Xia.
Old Master Xia laughed out loud and looked at Chu Jinghong with satisfaction. "How is my granddaughter? Is she excellent and beautiful? Have you made any progress with her?"
"You old man, you still have the nerve to laugh. The thing in your granddaughter's hand is too deadly. Tell her to hand it over quickly. I can't stay with her forever."
"The other party has no intention of taking her life yet. Once he can no longer bear it, your granddaughter will be in trouble."
Chu Jinghong said in a low voice.
Old Master Xia smiled brightly, but his face showed no concern. "As long as you stay with Yuqing for one day, Yuqing will be safe. I absolutely believe you on this."
"You old man are so greedy." Chu Jinghong said speechlessly.
"Okay, it's my birthday today. What good things have you prepared?" Old Master Xia laughed.
"It's in the car. I'll give it to you later." Chu Jinghong said lightly.
At this moment, Mr. Xia announced the start of the birthday banquet and stood up to introduce Chu Jinghong in public.
However, everyone looked at Chu Jinghong with contempt and did not take him seriously at all.
"The CEO of Hongshang Group sent a jade ruyi to wish Mr. Xia a long life!"
"The CEO of Sinosteel sent me a painting of the millennium, wishing the old man good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Some companies that have cooperative relationships with the Xia family sent people to deliver gifts.
Everyone in the Xia family looked at the gifts and their eyes turned red.
"Yuqing, this is the first time you've brought your boyfriend to our house, and it's for Grandpa's birthday. What goodies has your boyfriend prepared for Grandpa?"
"To tell whether a man loves you or not, just look at whether he's willing to spend money. Your brother-in-law even bought me a villa a while ago."
"Yeah, my husband also gave me something, a Ferrari worth several million. I reluctantly accepted it."
A group of people began to surround Xia Yuqing and targeted Xia Yuqing and Chu Jinghong in various ways.
Xia Yuqing's handsome brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and then she looked at her grandfather, but found that her grandfather didn't care at all. He was drinking with others, as if he didn't hear anything.
"Go, take out the things I prepared for Grandpa from the trunk. Since we are here to celebrate his birthday, how can we come empty-handed?"
Chu Jinghong patted the back of Xia Yuqing's hand jokingly and said.
Xia Yuqing looked at Chu Jinghong in confusion. She had no idea what Chu Jinghong had prepared. In her memory, Chu Jinghong had not prepared anything at all.
But Xia Yuqing still walked over half-believingly and opened the trunk, found a long box, and walked back with it.
"You kid finally decided to take it out." Old Master Xia suddenly became energetic and said with a loud laugh.
“…”
The corners of Xia Yuqing's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly. Her grandfather just pretended not to hear anything, but when Chu Jinghong was about to take out a gift, she instantly became excited.
Chu Jinghong opened the box, and what appeared in front of everyone was a very long ivory with various gods and immortal figures carved on it.
"This is a birthday gift from the immortals. It's made of real ivory. You can't buy it in China. I stumbled upon it at an auction abroad."
"Master, how about my gift?"
Chu Jinghong said jokingly.
"Okay, okay, that's thoughtful. This gift is really precious!" Old Master Xia's mouth was crooked with smile. This is not something that can be bought with money in China.
Regardless of whether you can buy it or not, anyone who dares to take it out casually and is reported by others will be sentenced to ten or eight years in prison.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The Xia family members present were all stunned. They wanted to touch it, but were directly slapped away by Old Man Xia.
"When did you prepare this?" Xia Yuqing looked at Chu Jinghong in surprise.
"A few days ago, you said it was the old man's birthday, so I arranged for someone to deliver it in advance, and it has been kept in the car ever since." Chu Jinghong said with a smile.
Xia Qingyi and Xia Junchi's faces turned pale and their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Haha, this kind of thing must have been obtained illegally. How could it be bought at an auction? It's absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!"
Xia Qingyi snorted and said disdainfully.
"Tsk, a piece of broken ivory is nothing special. I recently used my connections to successfully acquire a piece of land in the East Territory!"
"You all know that the higher-ups are planning to massively develop the East Territory, right? If you take over a piece of land in the East Territory now, you'll be able to sit back and count the money later!"
Xia Junchi said with a proud smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly attracted the attention of many members of the Xia family, and they all gathered around Xia Junchi, wanting to invest together.
Chu Jinghong raised his eyebrows, smiled playfully, and said, "I don't remember allocating a piece of land to the Xia family in the East and West Divisions. The land in your hands will not belong to you."
"Haha, sour grapes, what are you pretending to be? I've contacted the big shot 'Shuaizhatian' who airdropped to the East Territory!"
"I've already got that piece of land. If you're capable, just mess it up for me. I'll consider you capable too!"
Xia Junchi put his hands in his pockets and said with a sarcastic sneer.
Chu Jinghong let out a playful sneer. "This is the first time I've heard of such an excessive request. Since you're so sincere, I'll help you!"
