Chapter 6 The Real and Fake Daughter of the Jiang Family
There were many people gathered at the end of the red carpet.
Old Mrs. Bo stood in the middle of the crowd.
She was dressed very simply, in a Chinese-style gown and long pants, and looked like she had just come back from practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Although her hair is gray, she is energetic and looks much younger than her peers. Her eyes are clear and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are not obvious.
Because I am a little chubby, I wonder if there is any collagen loss in my face.
This is what it means to have a childlike face with crane-like hair.
Jiang Ci was worried.
Behind her was a reception table filled with gifts from guests. Gift boxes of all sizes had piled up like a mountain.
At that time, Jiang Xiaoxiao was opening a square gift box.
"Mrs. Bo, this is a birthday gift from the Jiang family in Rongcheng. It's a set of high-end jewelry in the Queen's style, valued at eight million yuan."
Queen is an internationally renowned luxury jewelry brand, although this brand only came out of nowhere three years ago.
However, it is loved by ladies all over the world for its ingenious design.
The old lady glanced at the jewelry in the jewel box and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Xiaoxiao continued to introduce the necklace: "As long as the old lady likes it, the price is secondary. As everyone knows, Queen only accepts private customization, and each model is a unique piece. I also spent a lot of effort to buy this necklace, because I think only the uniqueness of Queen is worthy of the old lady's status."
The old lady raised her hand and signaled the waiter standing beside her to accept the gift box.
Before Jiang Xiaoxiao could finish her words, the gift box was taken away by the waiter and casually placed among the pile of gifts behind her, where it was instantly submerged.
"The next family to present gifts is the Zhao family in the capital." The old butler read aloud while holding the gift book.
Before entering, everyone has to register their name at the door and then give gifts to the old lady in the order of arrival.
Jiang Xiaoxiao originally had a lot to say, but was abruptly interrupted by the housekeeper.
He could only reluctantly retreat to the side of Yao Shulan.
She didn't understand why the Jiang family prepared such a rich and valuable gift.
Why didn't it cause any ripples?
Even the guests watching around did not hear any words of praise from them.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao soon understood.
The gifts sent by the wealthy families in the capital were all priceless.
The imperial green jade ruyi, the blue and white porcelain from the Xuande period, the cowpea and red apple vase from the Kangxi period, and the antique calligraphy and paintings were all worth tens of millions of dollars. In this light, her eight million worth of jewelry was not enough.
"The next one to present a gift is the Yan family of Rongcheng."
Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng stepped forward together.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's gaze also fell on Jiang Ciyou.
When Jiang Ciyou presented the gift, a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
Jiang Ciyou has already opened his own treasure box.
Wrapped in red velvet are small pieces of incense each as long as a finger.
A whole box, neatly arranged.
"Mrs. Bo, this is a birthday gift from the Yan family. I hope you like it."
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that Jiang Ciyu had a hobby of making incense.
How can these pretentious little hobbies hold up in such a situation? She is too narcissistic.
All the gifts the old lady received were priceless.
How can such worthless things be worthy of being displayed in elegant places?
The old lady picked up the box, put it to her nose and sniffed it, with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ciyou was slightly stunned.
How did the old lady know her last name? She had clearly registered as Mrs. Yan just now.
Just when Mrs. Bo was about to ask someone to put it away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and said, "I heard that Mrs. Yan has a hobby of making incense. Could this incense be made by Mrs. Yan herself?"
Jiang Ciyou had seen her a long time ago.
Jiang Ciyou smiled and said, "Yes, this is a little hobby of mine. This kind of incense is called "Li Wang Hua Jin Chen", which is made from roses, agarwood and various spices according to ancient methods..."
There was a hint of pride in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Before Jiang Ciyu finished speaking, she couldn't wait to speak.
"Mrs. Yan, you casually gave her a small gadget you made as a 70th birthday gift. Isn't that too disrespectful to her? How much does this small box of aromatherapy cost? One thousand or ten thousand?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Ciyu and Yan Feng.
Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately glanced at Yan Feng: "The Yan family has fallen to such a state that they can't even send a decent gift?"
Yan Feng's face didn't look good either.
He caught a cold from using the air conditioner last night and has been feeling dizzy since waking up in the morning.
So the task of preparing gifts for the old lady was given to Jiang Ciyou.
Last night, Grandpa said that this meeting was crucial to the Yan family.
So there is no limit to the budget for gifts.
I didn't expect Jiang Ciyou to use a box of spices he made himself to fool people.
If the Bo family is offended because of the small gift, the resort project will be impossible.
Yan Feng looked serious and was about to say something to blame.
Jiang Ci spoke slowly but calmly.
"I heard that the reason why the old lady came to Rongcheng for recuperation three years ago was because of insomnia. My fragrance has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. I hope it can alleviate the old lady's insomnia and headache."
She also did some homework at the company in the afternoon and found out that the old lady had insomnia.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sarcastically said, "It's just a fragrance. Madam Yan, don't exaggerate it as a miracle drug. If aromatherapy can cure diseases, why do we need hospitals?"
At that time, the red-haired woman standing next to the old lady put her nose to the brocade box and sniffed: "This is not the traditional Li Wang Jinhua Chen, it seems to have a slight medicinal fragrance."
Jiang Ciyou said calmly, "I changed the ratio of the traditional formula and added some calming herbs such as calamus and nightshade, so it has a medicinal aroma."
The red-haired woman smiled and said to Mrs. Bo: "Grandma, I really like this fragrance. If you don't want it, just give it to me."
The person who spoke was Bo Xinyi, the old lady's granddaughter, who had rushed back from abroad especially for the old lady's birthday.
"Who said I don't like it?"
The old lady looked at Jiang Ciyou, sized him up and down, and smiled benevolently: "This incense, I just smelled it, and I felt refreshed. Old Zheng, put the incense in my bedroom so that no one will miss it."
Butler Lao Zheng responded quickly and carefully took the gift box from Bo Jingyi's hand.
Turned around and left.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw this scene, her face froze.
The old lady never even glanced at the eight million worth of jewelry she gave her.
Jiang Ciyou was worried that the incense he made was favored by the old lady, who even kept it for herself.
Are these rich people out of their minds?
The gift-giving process is still going on, but many of those who have given gifts have dispersed.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had just made herself look bad and didn't want to stay there.
After turning around and walking a few steps, she heard people talking about her.
"That seems to be the biological daughter that the Jiang family found three years ago. I heard that she grew up in the countryside."
"No wonder she has the air of a country bumpkin. She even had to specify the price of a piece of jewelry. Can't she see that the imperial green jade bracelet on the old lady's wrist is worth 200 million? Who can't see that her necklace is just an entry-level piece of jewelry for a queen? When she just emphasized that it was 8 million, I felt embarrassed for her."
"You are not from Rongcheng, so you know that the one who sent the incense just now is the original daughter of the Jiang family."
"No wonder. It's really mean to deliberately make things difficult for others in such an occasion. I think Mrs. Yan is generous and elegant, with a natural temperament. She seems to be a rich and noble person."
"By the way, her Li Wang incense smells really good. Even from such a distance, I can still feel the fragrance is high-end. This is a top-notch luxury product. It's not like some people who only know how to negotiate the price."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's fingers turned white from pinching when she heard this.
Everyone likes Jiang Ciyou.
But everything that Jiang Ciyou had, her elegance, her composure, her dignity from the inside out, were all taken away from her.
One day, she would tear off her beautiful face and let people see what she really looked like.
