Wow!
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone snapped out of their daze.
Inside the wooden box was a large Bodhisattva statue.
This Bodhisattva holds a staff in his right hand and a Mani jewel in his left, and sits on a thousand-petaled blue lotus.
He looked dignified and kind, with a sense of compassion for all living beings.
"This is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha symbolizes 'national prosperity and peace, and happy living,' making it a very suitable gift for the 90-year-old Mrs. Bai.
Little Yuzi recognized it at a glance, her face beaming with joy.
This Bodhisattva is exquisitely crafted, even its expression is perfectly captured.
It made her feel an immediate urge to get close to it.
"It looks great."
The old woman's withered hand trembled as she stretched out her arms.
She touched the jade and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's mutton fat jade."
Luo Chen nodded.
The people around were in an uproar.
"Is that mutton-fat jade?"
"I just looked closely, and it really is mutton-fat jade!"
"It's so beautiful! The texture is impeccable."
"The Luo family is really generous."
"Who just said the Luo family has fallen on hard times? Who can afford this jade?"
The Bodhisattva in front of me is made of mutton-fat white jade.
Such a large piece of mutton-fat white jade is quite valuable.
The surface of mutton fat jade is as if it has been coated with a layer of oil, and it has a very delicate feel. Even a small piece is hard to come by.
It must have taken a lot of effort to create this statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The Luo family is not as vulnerable as the rumors suggest.
Little Yuzu especially liked this Bodhisattva statue, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, I like this one too!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen whispered to Xiao Youzi, "Does Xiao Youzi like it? If you do, I'll buy you one."
"OK!"
Grandma Bai was engrossed in touching the jade.
Guests who were standing far away couldn't see anything, but they couldn't contain their curiosity and quickly came to the front of the large box.
Everyone was surprised to see the mutton-fat jade lying quietly inside the box.
"This Bodhisattva statue is so beautifully carved!"
"It's really beautiful!"
"How expensive must this be! A whole piece of mutton fat jade!"
"Forget about it, it's a price that our social class can't afford."
"I secretly took a picture, but it doesn't even measure a tenth as beautiful as the real thing."
Grandma Bai took a magnifying glass and examined every single detail meticulously.
After a long while, she looked up at Luo Chen and gave him a kind smile: "Young man of the Luo family, you've gone to a lot of trouble."
Luo Chen pursed his lips, then said in a low voice, "Grandmother, besides wishing you a happy birthday, I also want to apologize to you for what happened to Mother."
"Apologize?"
Grandma Bai seemed to have thought of something, and waved her hand dismissively: "No need to apologize. Even if Yan Rou doesn't want to acknowledge me as an old woman, it doesn't matter."
She had already figured it out.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen explained, "That's not how it is."
“My mother suffered a severe heart attack because my sister went missing, so she hadn’t contacted you. I’m here to apologize on her behalf.”
When the Luo family suddenly faced a crisis, Luo Chen arranged for his parents to go abroad first, and then gradually withdrew his influence in the country.
He felt like he was walking on thin ice, and dared not trust anyone but himself.
"How is Yanrou?" Upon hearing that Wen Yanrou was ill, the old lady Bai's anxious expression seemed genuine.
Luo Chen said, "My mother has depression, and her condition hasn't been very good before."
“If you’re sick, just take good care of your mother. There’s no need to apologize to this old woman. Grandma doesn’t care.”
Although Grandma Bai said that, she felt much better.
Fortunately, Yanrou didn't really think that she was useless and didn't call her.
"How is Yanrou doing now?" Grandma Bai asked with concern.
Wen Yanrou was ultimately her junior, so no one would say anything even if she showed excessive concern.
Luo Chen bent over and said, "I'm much better now, and I'm conscious again."
"really?"
Grandma Bai said with delight, "That's perfect, I have time to go see her."
Anyway, she's the boss on her birthday, and everyone else has to listen to her.
Luo Chen quickly refused, saying, "There's no need for that, Grandfather. I can bring my mother out tomorrow, and we can visit you together then. What do you think?"
"Of course!"
Grandma Bai glanced at Luo Chen, then looked at Luo Li, greeted her, and said with a smile, "Come, come, everyone! This old woman is in a great mood today, this Bodhisattva is wonderful!"
Now everyone around knew about the Luo family's immense wealth.
They're not like ordinary people!
The Bodhisattva was carefully carried away.
Grandma Bai said to Little Youzi, "Youzi, come sit next to your great-grandmother and eat."
Okay~
Little Yuzi glanced at Luo Chen and Luo Li, then sat back down next to Master Ba.
The table was laden with delicacies, but Bai Ningyi, without batting an eye, served Xiaoyouzi some food: "Eat more, and tell your master what you like."
"Mmm." Little Yuzu happily ate the shrimp.
Bai Ye, as the former head of the family, went on stage and said a few words. Everyone raised their glasses to Old Madam Bai.
Happy birthday, Grandma!
Little Yuzu said sweetly and drank the orange juice in her glass in one gulp.
After the meal, Grandma Bai said, "It's up to you younger generation to have fun now. I need to go back to the ancestral home first."
As she was about to leave, she looked at Little Yuzu: "Little Yuzu, are you going with Grandma?"
Little Yuzu didn't agree immediately, and glanced at Luo Chen.
