Now it’s time to celebrate the birthday or present gifts.
Of course, not all guests would give gifts publicly. Most people sent their gifts directly to the Sheng family's steward's office. Only the younger generations of the Sheng family and those who felt that they had a close relationship with the Sheng family would present gifts publicly at this time.
Well, before in the backyard, it was Grandpa Sheng who gave red envelopes to the younger generations who came to celebrate his birthday, and now it is the younger generations’ turn to give birthday gifts to Grandpa.
Xie Xihe touched the bank card in her small bag which was still wet, and there was only one thought in her mind: You have to pay for what you have done.
Of course, this was before she saw the balance amount in her bank card. After seeing it, she no longer thought so.
This is a story for later.
At this moment, the younger generations of the Sheng family had almost all presented their gifts, and the only ones left were Sheng Shijing, who said he went to get a birthday gift and had only just returned, and Sheng Anzhang, who had been delaying until now for some unknown reason.
Sheng Anzhang had been put in solitary confinement since the old man's surgery and was not released until yesterday. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect that even though he was released, his most promising son was still locked up in the ancestral hall.
He went to ask his old father, but he didn't even see him. He only heard the old housekeeper Sheng convey the old man's or the Sheng family's intention: Sheng Zhihuan had bad conduct and behaved improperly. He led the thief into the house for his own selfish desires and almost caused a disaster. He was not worthy of being a member of the Sheng family. He had been removed from the Sheng family genealogy and expelled from the Sheng family.
It was like a bolt from the blue, making Sheng Anzhang dizzy.
Sheng Anzhang and Xu Haiying have three children in total: the eldest son Sheng Zhihuan, the second son Sheng Zhichen, and the youngest daughter Sheng Yanran.
Needless to say, Sheng Yanran, as a daughter, is not qualified to inherit the Sheng family.
Sheng Anzhang and his wife have always let their daughter grow up in a carefree manner. From childhood to adulthood, their daughter has spent less time with them than with the eldest son's family or the old man, and is quite favored.
The couple was happy and relaxed, and they also wanted their daughter to show off her face in front of the old man so that she could help Sheng Zhihuan when he competed for the position of head of the family in the future, so they did not try to stop him.
The second son, Sheng Zhichen, is qualified to compete for the position of head of the family, but he has never been very ambitious since he was a child.
He was born prematurely and had poor health. When he was three or four years old, he mysteriously disappeared for a while. The Sheng family searched for him for five years before they found him.
But it doesn’t matter whether you find it or not.
He was quiet and reserved, not talkative, and only answered one question at a time, without saying anything extra. He would also have attacks at irregular intervals every year, and later he was simply sent abroad for recuperation, so we only saw each other a few times throughout the year.
Sheng Anzhang and his wife didn't like their son very much in the first place, and this made their feelings for him even weaker.
Besides, how could the Sheng family’s huge fortune be handed over to a sickly person?
Therefore, the two of them had long forgotten about their son and wholeheartedly supported Sheng Zhihuan.
Sheng Zhihuan has indeed always been very hardworking.
He joined Sheng Group while still in college. It took him six years to rise from an intern to the position of department manager. He was diligent and had good business skills. He was highly recognized by the senior management of Sheng Group, and his reputation in the entire Sheng family was also quite good.
At one point, he surpassed Sheng Yunzhou to become the most popular successor to the Sheng family.
Sheng Anzhang never imagined that in just a few months, his excellent son would end up like this!
All his twenty years of hard work were destroyed!
And all this was caused by Sheng Shijing!
For so many years, their family had been subservient, endured humiliation, complied with him in everything, and tried to please him in every way, and this was how he repaid them?!
And that Xie Xihe!
It’s all because of this pair of bastards that the three of them have ended up in this situation!
Glancing at the indifferent man not far away, Sheng Anzhang's eyes flashed with hatred, and he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Didn't Third Brother say he was going to get the birthday gift? He's been gone for nearly an hour, why hasn't he brought it back yet?"
valley
With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to Sheng Shijing.
Sheng Shijing glanced at Sheng Anzhang calmly: "Second brother hasn't even presented his gift yet, isn't it natural for me, as the younger brother, to fall behind?"
Now he finally remembers that he is the older brother and the younger brother. How come he didn't remember anything when he tortured him to death before?
Sheng Anzhang said viciously in his heart, but he forced a smile on his face and said with a fake smile: "Third brother, you are right. In this case, as your elder brother, I will not be polite with you."
"Someone come!"
Sheng Anzhang shouted loudly, and immediately two servants of the Sheng family came in carrying a sandalwood box that was as tall as a person.
The box fell to the ground, making a dull sound even through the thick carpet. It also left a deep mark on the carpet, which showed the weight of the sandalwood box.
Sheng Anzhang smiled at Old Man Sheng and said, "I, your son, wish you a long life, may you live as long as the Southern Mountains, and may you have this day every year."
He pointed to a sandalwood box not far away and said, "This is a gift my son spent the better part of six months preparing. I ask nothing more than that it can help you withstand disasters and illnesses, and keep you healthy and happy."
The words sounded nice, and although Mr. Sheng was still a little angry with his second son, he was still willing to give him this little face on such a good day.
He nodded and said, "You are thoughtful."
Sheng Anzhang's smile deepened, and without waiting for the old man's instructions, he took the initiative to walk to the side of the sandalwood box, opened the lid of the box himself, and at the same time ordered two servants to remove the baffles on all four sides of the box.
A brilliant golden light flashed, and even in the brightly lit banquet hall, its light was not blocked at all.
The extremely brilliant golden light was so dazzling that people could hardly open their eyes. It took a while before they could see the object behind the golden light. Once they saw it, they all fell into silence.
It was a golden statue made according to the life-like figure.
The height, body shape, and clothing are all based on real people.
Even the facial contours seem to be drawn inch by inch according to the real person.
Very realistic.
Very vivid.
The image was so lifelike that everyone recognized it at a glance. This golden statue was cast in the image of Mr. Sheng.
Tsk.
The lifelike statue is over 1.8 meters tall. If it is made of gold inside and outside, it would weigh more than 300 kilograms.
Based on the current gold price of more than 400 yuan per gram, this gold statue must be worth at least 70 million yuan, right?
This is only considering the gold price and not the production cost.
All in all, it’s probably worth nearly 100 million!
The second master of the Sheng family is really generous!
It's a pity, his brain doesn't seem to be working very well.
Giving the old man a golden statue on his birthday was something he had the guts to do...
Everyone looked at the old man's face, which had lost its smile in an instant, and they all showed an expression of watching a good show.
