Volume 1, Chapter 581: I want to find a princess as my daughter-in-law

Yan Lan was shocked when she heard this and said, "Mom, a Song Dynasty square vase with eight peaches is too expensive."

"What do you know? Who is Mrs. Gao? Can you give her ordinary things as a gift? And this time, Zhan Yanxun won the military order. I will let everyone know at tomorrow's birthday banquet that our Zhan family is rich enough to rival a country."

Xie Qingyi was planning to severely attack the Gu family and Jiang Qiansui at tomorrow's birthday party. After all, they would also attend Mrs. Gao's birthday party.

Since Yan Lan's affair had fallen through, she had to quickly look for a suitable candidate for her son.

Old Madam Gao and her husband went to Country Y in their early years and were also very important figures in Country Y. Now her son is a diplomat in Country Y and is said to have some connections with the royal family. She will find a real princess for her son in the future.

She doesn't like Jiang Qiansui or Yan Lan, so the gift must be substantial.

"Mom, although Mrs. Gao is also a legendary figure, I still think it's a bit of a waste to give her such an expensive gift."

Xie Qingyi said angrily, "Who is the head of this family, you or me? Do I need your consent even to give you a gift?"

"Isn't it? I think the Eight Peaches Square Vase from the Song Dynasty is worth tens of millions. Is it really a waste to spend tens of millions on it?"

"What do you know? Old Madam Gao is on good terms with members of the royal family of Country Y. If she can introduce a real princess to Zhan Yanxun, wouldn't that be better than Su Mengyu?"

Yan Lan was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this damn old woman had this idea.

This is a huge investment.

"Mom, you're right. If we can marry a princess from a foreign country, we can give the Jiang and Su families a good beating. But this Song Dynasty vase is still too expensive. How about we pick out some gold items for her?"

"Why are you nagging me so much? Look at how poor you are. I want to give an antique vase to a nobleman, and you are whining here. You are really not worthy of being here. You have been in our Zhan family for many years, but you are still not noble.

If you hadn't used some tricks to make a big fuss while you were pregnant, forcing my eldest son to marry you, would our Zhan family have married you, an actor? It's really shameful."

Xie Qingyi made a sarcastic remark. She did not agree with her eldest son's marriage. If Yan Lan had not caused a sensation in the city and relied on her pregnancy, why would she let her into the house?

Being humiliated by Xie Qingyi once again, Yan Lan's face was twisted with anger, but she dared not say anything.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Xie Qingyi said with disdain: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare? If you delay the birthday banquet, you will be in trouble."

Yan Lan's face turned green. She originally wanted to see Xie Qingyi's upset look, but she didn't expect that this old woman had so many tricks. In order to marry a woman with a prominent family background for Zhan Yanxun, she even used antiques to attract jade. It was really a waste of money. How abominable!

…

Birthday Banquet

Most of the upper class people in Country A came to Mrs. Gao's birthday party, and the atmosphere was lively with toasts and cheers.

"Look, Madam Zhan is here."

"Mrs. Zhan, you are so lucky. Zhan Yanxun is already the overlord of our country A's business community, and now he has become an important supplier to the military. This will be even more valuable in the future."

"Yes, the Zhan family was in crisis some time ago, and I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep well. But, Zhan Yanxun's strength is really reassuring. You are so lucky to have such a good son like Zhan Yanxun."

Amid the compliments from everyone, Xie Qingyi became more and more inflated.

"Of course. How could my son be so bad? It's because of his protruding philtrum."

"Yeah, it's a pity that Zhan Yanxun is single, and someone should take care of her. Why don't you go see our daughter and find some time for them to talk."

"My niece is also in her prime. She just returned from studying abroad. Your son will definitely like her."

"My daughter is not bad either, she has a high IQ and a good figure. Let them meet her sometime."

Those rich wives were talking about it all, and they were all recommending it desperately to anyone who had a girl of the right age at home.

Xie Qingyi looked at them and smiled coldly. These people were far inferior to the eldest daughter of the Su family.

Now she doesn't like Miss Su anymore. What she wants is a proper princess from a foreign country to be her daughter-in-law!

"We in the Zhan family are not people who can look up to everyone. You all know that my son will be extremely expensive in the future. Only a princess from the royal family is worthy of my son."

Those who were flattering them never expected that Xie Qingyi would be so disrespectful and directly belittle others, which made everyone feel bad.

But he didn't dare to offend her, so he could only smile and say, "You are right, the honor of the war banquet is beyond words, and only a princess of the royal family can match it, but now the Qing Dynasty has perished, and there is no princess to be found, right?"

This man jokingly hit Xie Qingyi on the face, and the others felt relieved and laughed along.

Xie Qingyi said righteously: "We don't have princesses in Country A, but there are many in other countries."

Everyone was stunned and the atmosphere was solemn for a long time.

Finally someone spoke up: "Madam Zhan, you are right. Only a princess of the royal family is worthy of someone like Zhan Yanxun."

Everyone hypocritically agreed, and Xie Qingyi's heart became more and more inflated.

"But the backgrounds of your two daughters-in-law are so different. Your eldest son married a star who has passed his prime in the entertainment industry, and your youngest son married a princess. Doesn't your eldest son feel that this is too unfair?"

Yan Lan's face turned ugly when she heard this. These upper-class people had never looked down on her.

Xie Qingyi looked unhappy, and the man quickly said, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. The most important thing right now is to find a foreign royal princess for Zhan Yanxun. It's such a pity that Jiang Qiansui divorced Zhan Yanxun."

"But Jiang Qiansui is not bad either. She has become the richest woman in Country A by her own efforts."

"Yes, Jiang Qiansui is both beautiful and capable, and her wedding date with the eldest son of the Gu family is approaching. The Gu couple are even more extravagant, so Jiang Qiansui can be said to be a winner in life now."

Xie Qingyi became more and more angry as he listened to people complimenting Jiang Qiansui.

How could this woman steal the limelight from the Zhan family!

"I heard that the previous crisis of the Zhan Group was caused by Jiang Qiansui. It shows that her strength should not be underestimated. If she gets angry, the Zhan Group will also suffer a lot."

"that is."

After hearing what others said, Xie Qingyi was so angry that her lungs exploded.

"What are you talking about? How can a mere Jiang Qiansui shake our Zhan family? Now our Zhan family group is an important supplier to the army, who can touch it?"

Seeing that Xie Qingyi was really angry, those people quickly changed their words.

"Mrs. Zhan, you are right. The Zhan Group is now on a higher level, and it is beyond the reach of others."

At this moment someone said something.

"Jiang Qiansui is here, and the Gu family couple is here too."

Jiang Qiansui came in, surrounded by Gu Xunjing and the Gu couple.

People were whispering.

"Look, you really can't help but think that the Gu family really values ​​Jiang Qiansui."

"Jiang Qiansui seems to be glowing. Even when she is standing next to the Gu family father and son, you can still feel her strong aura."

Jiang Qiansui walked in and looked coldly at Yan Lan who was inconspicuous in the crowd. This woman actually dared to harm her daughter, and today she would make her pay the price.
