“Who gives out gifts like this?”
“It looks like now that Qiao Zibo isn’t home, his wife’s days are hard.”
“No matter how hard times are, isn’t this too much? How can anyone give out something like this?”
“…”
As everyone mocked the mother and daughter duo, Ye Fan went to the side with his phone and made a call.
Ye Hong was relaxing on his balcony, eating grapes and viewing the moon. When he got the call, he said, “Hello? What you want?”
Ye Fan’s words contained more meaning than they sounded, “Grandpa, are you sure you don’t want to attend Elder Qiao’s birthday gathering?”
“Isn’t it enough that you are going alone? Why do I need to go? I don’t want to be nice to that bastard at all.”
Ye Fan, “…”
“They mistaken a pearl to be a fish eye, and they act like clowns being ordered around by their eldest son’s family. Interacting with a dumb donkey like him lowers my IQ!”
Ye Fan, “…”
“Also, that little girl. I asked her to come and she doesn’t come. If I go to that dumb old man’s birthday, that would seem like I went there to see her. I refuse to go! I have my pride!”
Ye Fan, “…”
After a moment of silence, Ye Fan said, “If you don’t want to come, then it’s okay. But I saw that set of Go pieces you liked. Qingqing is giving that away to her grandpa as his birthday gift.”
“What?!” The grape in Ye Hong’s mouth “thumped” onto the ground. He shot up, “That antique set of Go?”
Ye Fan suppressed himself from laughing and responded with a “yes.”
“That idiot girl!” Ye Hong slammed his table, “She favors that dumb donkey! Is having a birthday something to brag about?!”
Ye Fan, “…”
He wanted to say something more, but the phone had disconnected from the other end.
Ye Fan laughed and turned around to leave.
The taunting and mocking from the crowd went on. There were some who were so shocked, their jaws were still on the ground.
Qin Yongmei also couldn’t react for a long time. On the inside however, she was head over heels laughing.
She didn’t even need to play tricks for this mother-daughter duo to embarrass themselves!
She oppressed her laughter and said to He Wanqing, “This is a Go set?”
He Wanqing had no place to hide herself. Still being laughed at by others, she didn’t answer right away.
Qin Yongmei didn’t mind. She opened the wooden box.
The damaged Go board and the Go bowls revealed themselves. Everyone at the scene could no longer contain themselves and began to laugh out loud.
“Oh my god, the box itself was already sad looking enough. I cannot believe even the Go pieces inside can widen my eyes even more.”
“Did they pick this out from a garbage can? It’s so obvious that it’s not new. It’s been used for years!”
“Ah, I cannot do this anymore. I can’t stop. Just how poor do they have to be to gift someone this kind of gift? The stone pieces must’ve been made out of the cheapest market material. Those are likely glass.”
Mu Jinghang shrugged at the man beside him, who was wearing a mask.
“Third bro, I really cannot help sister-in-law like this. Even I find this gift to be pitiful. What was sister-in-law thinking? Just how much does she hate the old man? Look at his face, his face is green.”
Jun Yexuan gave Mu Jinghang a look like he was mentally challenged. He himself didn’t respond.
Qin Yongmei’s lips couldn’t stop from laughing but she forced herself to frown.
“Sister-in-law, today is our dad’s birthday, can’t you put more effort into this? This, this, this.. this is far too… disrespectful! Are you joking?”
Qiao Ziwen on the other side didn’t play mind games like the women. He actually was very unhappy.
“Wanqing, if you are having difficulties, you can tell me. After all, I’m in charge of the corporation. I wouldn’t undermine you two. There’s no need to make this scene at father’s birthday.”
“No…” He Wanqing opened her mouth but had no excuses.
“Enough.” Qiao Zhizhuo rubbed his brows as he felt a headache seep in, “Stop talking. Take it away.”
Just then, a security guard entered, “Master Qiao, Master Ye is here.”
“Who gives out gifts like this?”
“It looks like now that Qiao Zibo isn’t home, his wife’s days are hard.”
“No matter how hard times are, isn’t this too much? How can anyone give out something like this?”
