Chapter 555

The guests in the yard watched the servants carry the birthday gifts one by one in front of everyone.

Valuable items include the million-dollar white-crowned lotus orchid bonsai, cabbage jade carvings, antique enamel flower-patterned vases, and so on.

Common items include longevity pine potted plants, wood carvings, longevity banners and screens, all of which are relatively novel in appearance and everyone enjoys looking at them.

Until the servant came out carrying a gray stone.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the stone, and no one said a word for a moment.

Although it looks like an ordinary ugly stone no matter how you look at it, since Qin Dahai moved it out to show it to the public, this stone must be extraordinary.

As for what's so special about it, they can only wait for Qin Dahai to tell them himself. Anyway, they are too short-sighted to tell.

Qin Dahai deliberately delayed for a while before slowly walking into the yard.

As soon as he appeared, several anxious old guys started asking him about the stone.

"Old Qin, what on earth is this treasure?"

"Could it be that it is some kind of raw jade stone? Can you bring it out for everyone to identify?"

"This doesn't look like raw jade. I often go to antique markets to watch people betting on jade, but I've never seen anything of this color and texture."

Everyone was talking at once, one after another, while Qin Dahai was leisurely drinking tea in silence.

"Lao Qin, what's so good about tea? Why don't you explain to us what the origin of this stone is?" One of the old men snatched the teacup from his hand, put it aside, and pulled him in front of the big stone.

Many people agreed, "Yes, Lao Qin, tell us what this is."

Qin Dahai glared at the person who spoke angrily, "You are the toy! This is my treasure!"

After hearing what he said, everyone became even more curious, "Could it be that there is some treasure inside this stone?"

Qin Dahai said proudly: "It's not this stone treasure, but this stone was given by my precious granddaughter."

When everyone heard what he said, they were extremely disappointed.

"Why did Jingshu give you a stone as a birthday gift?"

"I remember Jingshu gave you a red sandalwood chessboard on your 70th birthday. Why did you give you a piece of Mo Ming Tang stone on your 80th birthday?"

When hearing everyone mention Qin Jingshu, the smile on Qin Dahai's face faded a little.

After Mrs. Qin went to the army, she told Qin Jingli about her daughter Qin Jingshu. Qin Jingli rarely lost his temper, nor did he blame Mrs. Qin for deliberately concealing the truth. However, he talked to Qin Jingxiu on the phone for half the night until his phone ran out of battery and turned off.

Mrs. Qin didn't know what the two brothers talked about, but Qin Jingli never asked about Qin Jingshu again, and he had no objection to Qin Jingshu being sent to a monastery.

Mrs. Qin thought her husband was completely disappointed in his daughter and had left her alone until one night, when her husband suddenly said to her, "I am a negligent father. When Jingshu comes back, our family of three will live in the army and will not return to the capital."

This time when the two brothers came back to celebrate Qin Dahai's birthday, they tacitly did not mention Qin Jingshu.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard everyone talking about his eldest granddaughter, Qin Dahai felt an indescribable sadness and melancholy in his heart.

However, as a man who has experienced a lot in the world, he suppressed his inner sorrow without making a sound, and said with a smile: "There is something I forgot to tell you. The Qin family recently had a new granddaughter. This stone was given to me by my granddaughter."

The Qin family did not publicize Tang Qi's background to the outside world. Except for the Chen family, the Qin family, and the Mo family, the outside world did not know about it.

After hearing what Qin Dahai said, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

Old Man Sun, who lived closest to the Qin family, was the first to shout, "Old Qin, when did your family have a granddaughter? How come I didn't know? Some time ago, I saw your eldest daughter-in-law walking outside alone, and there was no sign of giving birth. Could it be that a granddaughter was born from this stone for you?"

Qin Dahai said proudly, "My little granddaughter was not born from a stone, but was gifted by God, she fell from the sky."

"Tsk~"

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed in good faith, thinking he was joking.

Qin Dahai was not in a hurry. He took out the photo of Tang Qi that he had prepared long ago and handed it to the old guy who coveted the old hen in his backyard.

"Look, this is my little granddaughter, beautiful, smart and capable."

The other party took it and looked at it. Oh, the girl's face was pretty. He liked her. But after thinking about it carefully, it was not right. The girl looked at least 16 or 17 years old. When did the Qin family have such a big girl? Could it be...

"Old Qin, this belongs to your Jingli..."

Qin Dahai didn't know what kind of character his old neighbor who had lived with him for decades was. He immediately shouted angrily: "It's not the old family's!"

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, and then became even more surprised, "Could it be Jingxiu's? Isn't your Jingxiu unmarried?"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

When others around heard this, they all crowded over to look at the photos.

One person praised: "Hey, this girl is really pretty, but she looks a little familiar."

Another person spat at him: "Go away, you are familiar with all the pretty girls, you are so shameless."

Someone else asked: "Is this really your Jingxiu's daughter? When did this happen?"

Qin Dahai simply took this opportunity to recount the story of Qin Jingxiu being injured and losing his memory during the mission, however, he omitted any mention of Mrs. Chen's true identity, only saying that she now had her own family and had nothing to do with the Qin family.

Upon learning that the Qin family's newly adopted granddaughter had such a bizarre and complicated life story, everyone suddenly understood why Qin Dahai moved the stone out.

This is not showing off the baby, it's clearly showing off the granddaughter!

Looking at this ugly stone again, everyone feels jealous and jealous.

They also want such a "birthday gift"! "Old Qin, you have a double blessing. No wonder you look so radiant every day. You have been keeping it a secret."

"By the way, why didn't I see your two granddaughters today? The eldest granddaughter is fine, but the younger granddaughter must be recognized by everyone."

Qin Dahai had no choice but to explain: "My two granddaughters are both abroad. When they come back, I will invite everyone to come over for tea."

Old man Sun said he was tired, so he sat back in his seat, sipping his tea while watching others continue to ask Qin Dahai questions. He turned his gaze and looked at his old friend beside him.

The old friend seemed to have no interest in Qin Dahai's newly adopted granddaughter. Instead, he stared at the stone placed on the high table with a thoughtful look on his face.

Old Man Sun knew that his friend was quite knowledgeable about raw stones, so he joked with him, "You've been looking at it for a long time, have you figured out what it is?"

Unexpectedly, the old friend nodded very seriously, "It is quite famous."

Hearing this, Old Man Sun was surprised for a moment, and his eyes fell on the big stone placed on the mahogany high table.

The stone is slightly larger than a washbasin, neither round nor square, and its surface is neither smooth nor bumpy. It is just an ordinary stone, the color of which is like wet cement, gray and ugly. It would be ugly even if it was placed on the roadside.
