Father Ruan took out the gift he had prepared, which was a small box.
He said, "The Ruan family is no longer what it used to be. I hope Old Madam Qi won't despise this small gift."
Everyone stared at the box, wondering if there were pills inside.
The news that the Ruan family had elixirs was known to the entire upper class circles of Lan City.
Old Mrs. Qi took the box with joy.
Even Mr. Jiang was staring at the box at this moment. Did the Ruan family really give out the rejuvenation pills that cost 50 million each as a birthday gift?
At this time, everyone else also stretched their necks, trying to see clearly what was in the box.
Old Mrs. Qi opened the box and was very excited. Maybe the things in the box were worth two hundred million!
With a click, the box opened.
The expectant look on Old Lady Qi's face suddenly froze.
In the box, there was a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads lying quietly. Judging from their appearance, they were made of ordinary sandalwood.
Old Madam Qi's face trembled, and she couldn't help but scream, "Why are they Buddhist beads? Shouldn't they be elixirs?"
Ruan Pengkai said, "Putting aside the price, these Buddhist beads are a good thing that can help people cultivate their body and mind. Is Mrs. Qi dissatisfied?"
Old Mrs. Qi: …………
Satisfied as hell!
She wants pills, pills that cost 50 million each!
"No, I just thought that you would give me some pills. After all, your family doesn't lack pills now!"
Ruan's mother was filled with rage, and at this moment she said directly: "Look at what you said? That pill is so expensive, 50 million per pill, and I gave it to you as a birthday gift, but you didn't dare to accept it, right?
Besides, the pills are Qiaoqiao's personal belongings. If we want to give her a gift, we won't take advantage of her, right? I'm sure Old Lady Qi thinks the same way!"
Old Mrs. Qi was so angry that she almost died. What did this mean?
Saying that she is not worthy of a pill that costs 50 million?
"Oh, right!" Mother Ruan added, "I heard that Old Madam Qi was dying of illness. It was my Qiaoqiao who gave you a rejuvenation pill that saved your life, right?"
Old Madam Qi stared at Ruan's mother with displeasure, "Why bring this up for no reason?"
Ruan's mother said, "We have been waiting for the Qi family to give us money!
After all, fifty million for a rejuvenation pill is quite expensive, and it doesn't make sense to give it to you for free.
But you haven't offered to pay us, and we're embarrassed to ask for it. Now that we've come to this, I want to ask when the Qi family will pay you back."
Old Mrs. Qi: ...
Ruan Jiao\u0026Ruan Qiao: …………
The two of them looked at each other and both gave Ruan's mother a thumbs up.
"You, what did you say? You want us to give you money?" Old Mrs. Qi widened her eyes and gritted her teeth.
Mother Ruan was surprised and asked, "Could it be that your Qi family wants to take my Qiaoqiao's elixir for free?"
Wow!
All the guests who attended the event were delighted. The Qi family thought that the Ruan family would give them elixirs as birthday gifts, but not only did they not give them any, they were asked to pay back the money they had paid for the elixirs.
Old Mrs. Qi was so angry that her heart ached.
"Well, your Ruan family is going too far!" Old Mrs. Qi sobbed as she spoke.
Ruan's mother said, "How can it be too much? This medicine costs 50 million per pill!
If it weren't for that medicine, would you still have the chance to hold a birthday party today, Mrs. Qi? I'm afraid your ashes have been buried, right? "
“You, you—”
"Li Li, you're going too far. On such a happy occasion, what are you talking about?
Besides, Ah Yan and Jiao Jiao are getting married soon, and we are a family now. Why are you still fussing over the medicine money?"
Mrs. Qi said at this time.
Ruan's mother said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. Who are you and the Qi family?"
At this moment, Ruan Jiao pulled her skirt uncomfortably. She suddenly felt too hot to breathe.
She endured it for a moment, and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm going to the bathroom."
Ruan Qiao didn't take it seriously and just nodded.
Just at this moment, Jiang Qi also stood up, left the banquet and walked upstairs.
He also felt hot and uncomfortable, and he knew what was going on, so he glanced at Ruan Qiao when he left.
Qi Yan frowned, and seeing Jiang Qi leave, he simply stood up and left too.
Because he also felt a little unwell, if he stayed any longer, he might make a fool of himself.
"I'll go see my brother." Qi Lianlian also stood up.
Their departure did not attract much attention, only Mr. Jiang's eyes deepened.
He looked at Ruan Qiao who had not responded yet and frowned.
When Mrs. Qi saw that Ruan Jiao and Qi Yan had left, a hint of pride flashed across her eyes.
She said to Ruan's mother, "Lili, don't be so harsh. What if the two children like each other? Wouldn't you hurt their feelings by saying this?"
Mother Ruan frowned. The Qi family was really disgusting.
On the other side, Ruan Jiao went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face, but the stuffy and uncomfortable feeling did not ease.
Instead, it is getting worse.
She walked out of the bathroom and happened to meet Qi Lianlian who had just walked over.
Ruan Jiao frowned in disgust, but because she was not feeling well, she ignored him and walked straight past Qi Lianlian to leave.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Lianlian asked hypocritically.
"Shut up, who are you calling sister-in-law?" Ruan Jiao said angrily, but her voice was tender and soft.
Her confused mind had already realized that something was wrong, but she could do nothing more and could only insist on walking out.
She walked to the side and stood against the wall, then took out her cell phone and called Ruan Qiao.
But just as she took out her cell phone to dial, Qi Lianlian snatched it away.
